Chapter 603 The Person Female Students Most Want to Have Sex With
Two days later, at Claudius' private residence.
Three underage Roman goddesses of fate and a Roman candidate emperor walked into the classroom early with textbooks, sat at their desks, and waited for the first day of formal classes.
As the teaching assistant Cassandra rang the bronze bell in front of the door, the teacher Lorne stepped onto the podium on time and wrote the entire day's lessons on the blackboard:
"The first class in the morning is [General Language], the second class is [Spells and Potions], and the third class is [Introduction to Social Studies and the Spirit of Law]. In the afternoon..."
Seeing the densely packed course schedule, the four little ones sitting at the desks suddenly looked miserable, regretting coming here to be students.
Especially the first class.
The language proficiency mentioned above does not only refer to the Latin commonly used in the Roman Age of Gods, but also includes Greek Hermetic, Nordic Runes and Celtic Ogham...
According to the textbooks, the Age of the Four Gods was a whole, and language was a tool for communication and understanding. As the heir to the Roman theocracy and monarchy, mastering these was a required course.
Based on my previous experience with those court teachers, this course would probably be a torture.
Is it too late to run now?
Just when a few little guys were thinking about backing out, the class officially began.
But surprisingly, the teacher on the stage did not start by talking about obscure and boring things like grammar, meaning, rhetoric, etc. Instead, he talked about the customs and habits of different ages of the gods, as well as various stories that happened between him and the local people during his travels.
The four little ones listened with great interest through the teacher's vivid language and humorous jokes. They were soon attracted by the content. They were full of curiosity about the language, culture, and humanistic thoughts of each era of gods. Their thirst for knowledge was also aroused. They all pricked up their ears and sat upright on the benches.
Seeing that he had successfully controlled the rhythm of the class, Loen smiled with satisfaction and continued to describe the specific context in this entertaining and educational way, secretly instilling the language, writing and communication methods of different generations of gods into the little ones.
In fact, although the four languages of Hermetic, Ogham, Runes, and Latin belong to different ages of gods, they share common characteristics.
——That is, all of them are alphabetic characters.
In addition, they belong to the same European cultural system and have a certain resonance and connection with each other.
For example, Rome and Greece are of the same lineage, Northern Europe and Celtic have close ties, and Greece and Northern Europe have a lot of grievances...
Therefore, many similar words and phrases can be found in the corresponding sources in the major divine eras. As long as you find the commonality, you can understand a hundred principles by understanding one principle, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of learning.
During the long years, Loen not only trained a large number of gods and heroic students, but also received the blessings of literature and art from the three Graces and the nine Muses. His attainments as a teacher can be said to be first-class.
With his vivid descriptions, the four little ones quickly learned a lot of language knowledge.
In order to satisfy the children's playful nature and relieve the boredom of schoolwork, he occasionally designed some role-playing games, allowing the four little ones to take on the identities of heroes, vendors, kings, princesses, etc., and perform different stories with the background and language of different ages of gods.
Under such strong guidance and motivation, the four little ones had a lot of fun and soon spent the first class in laughter.
When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the four little guys even felt a little reluctant to leave.
Cassandra, the teaching assistant, walked up to the podium, handed the warm honey water to Lorne, and said:
"I've heard that you are the best teacher in the Academy of Athens. Although you don't have many classes, you are very popular. Almost no students miss your class. Even Athena, Themis, the three Graces and other gods will take time to listen. I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but after experiencing it today, I found that I can't believe all those words."
"What do you mean?"
“That’s a bit conservative.”
Lorne couldn't help but laugh at Cassandra's clever compliment.
Whether it is a mortal or a god, after all, they all like to hear nice words.
Taking the teacup and drinking the honey water, Luo En couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:
"Besides this, what other rumors are there about me at the Academy of Athens?"
Cassandra's expression paused slightly, and there was a hint of weirdness in her tone:
"All the female students agree that the man they want to sleep with the most in the academy..."
"puff!"
The honey that Loen had just poured into his mouth suddenly spurted out, almost splashing on Cassandra.
I was wondering why when I was in the Academy of Athens, my classes were either cut or taken over by Athena, Thetis and Themis.
The reasons for reporting to me are all kinds of strange, such as headache, fever, bad mood for a few days a month, bumping into a tree...
Moreover, when I walked on the street, I always felt that the female students looked at me in a strange way.
——It’s like a wolf that has been hungry for several days and sees a piece of fat raw meat.
After a long time of searching, I found out that the root of the problem lies here.
Seeing Lorne's reaction, Cassandra couldn't help but have a hint of mischief in her eyes, and said:
"Sir, after listening to your lecture just now, my understanding of the divine runes of the Four Great Gods has improved a lot. How about I become your student? And learn more from you?"
"Okay, there are empty seats and textbooks. You can attend the class with them next time."
Loen agreed casually, but he didn't notice the surprise that flashed across the priestess's face.
Cassandra originally just wanted to make a little joke, but she didn't expect that this adult would actually agree to it.
Didn't he know what kind of thoughts his female students had when they attended classes at the Academy of Athens?
"Okay, it's almost time for after-school activities, let them come back and attend class with you."
Hearing the reminder from her side, Cassandra came to her senses and quickly called back the four little ones who were playing in the courtyard.
She also received a textbook from Lorne, and turned from a glorious teaching assistant into a student who lacked education.
Forget it, it’s a rare opportunity to listen to this adult’s lectures as a student.
It just so happened that she had been in Rome for so many years and had no qualified teacher to guide her. She might as well take this opportunity to become a disciple of this adult and learn more.
Having made up her mind, Cassandra suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind and became classmates with the four little ones, listening attentively to the lecture.
The second period of spells and potions classes was relatively easy.
Whether it is Nero who possesses the divinity of Eros, the three sons of Fate who possess the divinity of Fate, or the famous Trojan prophet and priestess Cassandra, the five of them have extraordinary qualifications in mysticism.
With the foundation laid in the previous lesson, the five of them completed the tasks with ease, whether it was constructing spells in different languages of the Age of Gods or distinguishing the special plants from different Ages of Gods.
Naturally, Loen also talked a lot from the simplest to the most complex, and suggested the suitable path for each of the five students.
——Nero has average talent in magic, but he has the divinity of the god of love, and can even activate the power in his body to form a spiritual outfit to provide protection for himself. Venus and Aphrodite also have the function of war gods in the East, so Loen's advice to Nero is to minor in magic and major in swordsmanship.
——The power of the Three Sons of Fate mainly comes from [God of Paths] Janus. They have a strong perception of magic such as [Road], [Space] and [Fate]. In addition, they don't like close combat. The three of them can resonate with each other and increase their magic power several times. Therefore, they can take magic as the main direction of practice.
——The last one is Cassandra. She was a priestess who was proficient in prophecy and perception. Although she withdrew from the Temple of Apollo for some reason and became a priest of the Temple of Dionysus, her qualifications remained unchanged. In addition, she was on good terms with the Three Sons of Fate, so Loen generously taught Cassandra the mysteries, magic, and some methods of controlling the divinity of fate of the Dionysus.
On the one hand, he did need a priestess of some importance in Rome to carry out God's will.
On the other hand, he also hoped that Cassandra could take advantage of this opportunity to firmly bind the three sons of destiny of the Temple of Dionysus and Rome together, and strengthen the resonance of destiny between himself, the god of origin, and the four great gods.
Knowing that this class was full of useful information, which would be of great benefit to them, even though Cassandra and the other four could not bear the high intensity of the knowledge indoctrination, they could only grit their teeth and concentrate on stuffing the knowledge into their brains.
As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the five students felt as if they had been pardoned, and hurriedly relaxed and rested in their own ways.
The older Cassandra is quiet and likes reading, while the younger Nero and the three sons of Fate are naturally lively and active. They play small games and activities of their own interest in the classroom.
After a while of noise, Tian, who was the most active, rubbed his rumbling belly, took out a red and green apple from his schoolbag, opened his mouth wide, and took a bite.
A strong sour feeling suddenly burst out on the taste buds, and Tining and Tibao on the side couldn't help but shiver, sticking out their tongues, and wrinkling their little faces.
Hiss, so sour...
Because of the Trinity, their senses are connected.
Therefore, Tian's attempt naturally brought common suffering to the three of them.
Before the two of them could suppress the taste in their mouths, a new sour feeling came again.
Ti Ning and Ti Bao shivered and cast resentful glances at Ti An behind them.
Although they are three people with the same destiny, they have different personalities and tastes.
Among the three, Tian, because of her lively and active personality, prefers spicy food and is very keen on all kinds of new experiences.
But this would make things difficult for the two of them who share the same senses.
Fortunately, the apple was not big, and Tian swallowed it in no time. Tianing and Tibao on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, they soon discovered that they seemed to be happy too early.
After Tian finished eating a whole apple, he still felt unsatisfied and took out half a can of black meat sauce from his bag.
Although the lid was not opened, the amount of meat sauce in the jar was visibly reduced as the little guy opened his mouth and swallowed.
It is obvious that this is stealing by taking advantage of the power of [Space].
A strong fishy smell also burst out in the mouths of the other two children of destiny, making their little faces almost wrinkled into two rags.
——Fish sauce.
The Romans' favorite condiment and food had an "interesting" production method: mash the fish meat and offal, expose them to the sun for fermentation, and the filtered liquid was the delicious sauce they had been craving for.
People who like this taste like it very much, and people who hate it hate it very much.
Unfortunately, the light-tasting Tining and Tibao belong to the latter group and are extremely afraid of this kind of thing.
No, I can’t stand it, it’s too fishy!
After enduring for a while, the two little ones finally couldn't bear it anymore and took big bites of the small cakes and candied fruits hidden in the backpack, trying to suppress the salty and fishy taste of fish sauce in their mouths.
However, the taste in her mouth was diluted a lot, and Tian, who was looking for excitement, was a little dissatisfied. She then took out a portion of Nordic food that she had secretly bought from the market.
The person who sold it to her told her that this thing is called salted herring.
It smells pungent but tastes delicious, and is a first-class Nordic specialty.
With full anticipation, Tian opened his mouth, connected the space, and began the formal tasting.
Instantly, the smell of rotten seafood, pungent ammonia and fermented rotten eggs filled Tian's nasal cavity first. The fishy and salty smell was mixed with the sour and rotten smell like sewer, which was very heady and caused Tian's brain to feel subtle dizziness.
When you eat it, the soft and elastic fish meat is crushed between your teeth, and the strong salty and fresh taste first takes over your taste buds, followed by the unique sour, bitter and sweet taste of fermentation. The fish skin is slightly tough, the fish bones have softened like cartilage, and the sticky silver fish oil is wrapped in the salty and astringent taste of sea salt, forming a strange balance with the lingering fishy smell in your nose, and the subtle aroma of fermented cheese in the aftertaste.
Surprisingly, it’s delicious!
After withstanding the first wave of impact, Tian seemed to have discovered a new world. His eyes lit up and he couldn't help but taste another piece.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the two small figures could no longer hold on, their eyes rolled back, and they fell heavily to the ground.
"What's wrong with you guys?!"
Nero and Cassandra quickly helped the two students up and asked them with concern.
The two little ones tried hard to open their eyelids, their voices trembling, tears in their watery eyes:
"The murderer is... Tian..."
"She, she is so vicious!"
Hearing the accusations of his two companions, Tian raised his head in confusion:
"What?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, a strong smell hit her in the face.
The smell of decay is like a fishing net exposed to the scorching sun, carrying the stagnant tide of a dead bay. The sourness produced by the fermented bacteria is extremely penetrating, like a rusted anchor pulling out the rotten mud on the seabed. The smell of rotten eggs and excrement is like the tentacles of a siren, twisting the nasal cavity - the salty and astringent smell of pickled sea salt in the first second, and the smell of rotten fish entrails in the next second, and the tail note is still damp and moldy, like rotten wood leaking in the cargo hold of a sunken ship. This smell can condense into colloid in the air, adhere to the fibers of clothing for three days, and be more stubbornly imprinted into memory than the cold winter in Northern Europe, becoming a permanent nightmare on the olfactory map.
Nero covered his nose tightly and looked at the classmate in front of him, his face full of disbelief:
"You actually eat shit!"
Although Cassandra on the other side did not speak directly due to her upbringing, her strange expression and retreating steps were enough to prove that she probably had the same idea in her mind.
"What? This is salted herring! The teacher talked about this Nordic delicacy in class before. It's delicious."
Tian quickly defended himself.
In order to enhance her persuasiveness, she even reluctantly picked out a few slices of good-looking salted herring from the jar and tried to give them to the four people to taste:
"If you don't believe me, try it."
The four of them looked over and saw silver threads drawn from the sticky juice, gray-white fish chunks layered in twisted shapes immersed in the amber fermentation liquid, fish skin glowing with a metallic cold light, and translucent cartilage piercing the soft flesh like rusty nails from a sunken ship...
Faced with such cult food, no one dared to try it easily. They all retreated and declined the offer.
"Really, it's delicious, I'm not lying to you!"
Tian held a clay pot in one hand and picked up salted herring in the other and tried hard to sell it.
However, the four of them refused to give in and dodged quickly.
Even the other two children of destiny who were lying half-dead on the ground, under the threat of this biological weapon, jumped up from the ground and hurriedly shrank behind Cassandra.
The sharp-tongued Nero even commented directly:
"It's fine if you like eating shit yourself, but you also want to drag us into it. What Tining said is right, you are so vicious!"
Seeing that the looks they gave him were getting more and more strange, Tian became anxious and immediately chased after them with the salted herring in his hand, trying to stuff it into their mouths to clear his name:
"Try it, just a small bite, it's really delicious, trust me!"
Faced with Tian's relentless pressure, the four people who had retreated to the corner were unwilling to be humiliated and could only fight back.
After a dispute, the fish meat and the pottery jar flew high into the air and hit Loen who was about to enter the class.
Loen subconsciously put up a defensive spell and smashed the UFO into pieces.
Suddenly, the fishy soup and milky white salted herring meat scattered everywhere, all over the three sons of fate, Nero and Cassandra, and a strong stench filled the classroom.
The five people were stunned for a few seconds, then they all bent down at the same time, squatted on the ground and vomited violently, even Tian who had tasted the taste of it was no exception.
After all, eating and smelling are two different things.
"It's broad daylight, why don't we eat something else? Why do we have to gather together to eat salted herrings?"
Looking at the messy classroom, Luo En couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it, let's stop here for today's class. Let Cassandra take you to take a bath. The class will continue tomorrow."
The four primary and the older child felt as if they had been pardoned. They hurriedly fled the classroom, which had almost turned into a public toilet, and rushed into the bathroom to wash themselves.
However, perhaps due to psychological factors or because the salted herring was too lethal, the five people still felt a lingering smell on their bodies after washing several times.
However, since the house was replacing the previous lead water pipes, there was not much water stored, so the bathing of the five people had to be completed in a hurry.
Seeing that they looked listless and most of them had no interest in the class, Luo En reluctantly suggested:
"I remember there were quite a few public baths in Rome. Since I can't go to class today, why don't we go there?"
"good!"
The five people's eyes lit up and they nodded in agreement at the same time.
After handing over the chores of cleaning the room to the maid, Loen and his group of six students walked out of the private residence on the Seven Hills and headed towards the city of Rome.
The streets were bustling with people, and everywhere you could see young people in gorgeous clothes, men and women holding hands on a date, and noble ladies appreciating flowers together.
The Romans who loved the hustle and bustle, some of whom were upper class, would invite friends to their homes for banquets in groups of three or five; some of whom were in financial difficulties, would go to taverns and drink cheap beer to reward themselves.
The opera house, the Colosseum and other places opened early to welcome guests and were packed with people.
Some well-dressed Romans gradually gathered at the Palatine Hill, located in the center of the Seven Hills. They climbed the marble steps devoutly in an almost pilgrimage-like manner, worshiping and offering gifts to the goddess Venus in the Pantheon.
The whole city seemed to be immersed in a sea of celebration.
