>>6292876Well said good sir, well said. Haha.
>>6292908>>6292946You decided to tell that you will be trying to find a learned man in the university. After all reading too much was hurting your head and if some people read all day at least they could be useful for some information. So you told.
-I shall try to see some learned man at the university. Someone who knows about geography and the customs of the barbarians of the east.
The man looked at you like you would look at a child and his answer was as wise as it is categorical.
-Lord de Villeroi, do you think that I would have been master at arms of a king, and perhaps one of the finest blades of the Empire if I kept trying to meet scholars, book readers or some other library rats ? I am no more knowledgeable in this domain than a scholar of the great library of Pediawiki would be at ease on a battlefield.
These were wise and intelligent words, you agreed wholeheartedly. If you too, had lived 4000 years you would have spent them by doing what you liked : hunting, learning poetry by heart, courting beautiful women, going to tournaments and waging war. Perhaps you would have learnt to play the luthe too, but with the only goal of seducing women with it like your dear Bohémond. Of course you would probably go to crusades, help the church and in general do something for your soul but you could be certain and proud that in 4000 years you would not have learned to read, at least if you were not a lord. It was boring and your head still hurt when you tried it. You needed your eyes to be sharp for falconing and could not waste them on reading texts. If Servmiabarel did not knew scholars you decided to tell.
-I understand and I appreciate your wisdom. But if it is the case, we shall try to go.
You of course finished your wine and exchanged pleasantries, before Servmiabarel explained you where to get to the university. And when you got there you had to admit that you were impressed by the structure, a big white round amphitheater of five stories that dominated a quarter of Briberopolis. You could see that Bohémond was a bit bored and that Brother Louis seemed to be interested in it, it will perhaps be an occasion for him to speak latin. You shall always remember that students and professors, in the university of Paris, the Sorbonne, were part of the first estate, like priests, clerks of monks and only dependent of the justice of the Archbishop. So even if you were on pagan lands, it was probable that the brother Templars thought a bit about the denizens of this structure like he would about fellow clerks. He told.
-This structure is impressive, bigger than the Sorbonne in Paris, even if I only entered there once...
Bohémond asked.
-I wonder why there is many women entering inside. Young and pretty ones I must say.
