It had been three days since they arrived at Aichy's territory. What made Li Ke feel a little helpless was that these three days were filled with celebrations. And the main reason for the celebrations was that the Battle Matriarch had finally found a man — which was him.
But what didn't disappoint him was that Eich didn't forget about his plan while reporting on the celebration. Instead, she methodically conveyed everything he told her to her subordinates. She wanted to gather capable people and gather the children of the various tribes so that they could receive education together. All of these things were now in operation.
"But, are there only parchments here? And that's all? "
Li Ke looked at the dozens of parchments in front of him. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt helpless when he saw that there weren't many parchments.
"Yes, that's all we have. Although there are some animal skins, they aren't suitable for writing. So, unless the Notai people bring their houses here, that's all we can use for now."
Aichy nodded. At first, she still had some hope that these parchments would be enough. But looking at Li Ke's attitude, it was obvious that these parchments couldn't satisfy his needs.
Li Ke didn't ask why Aichy's tribe only had so few parchments, nor why they didn't kill the goats to make some. After all, he now understood that herds couldn't be killed casually, especially if they wanted to continue developing.
Moreover, he didn't think that the Notai people would be able to bring him much usable paper. After all, the stories and history of this place were passed down through poems and the like. And if you really wanted to count, even Eich was only an elementary school culture. So, the only places that people like Eich used paper were maps and scrolls that recorded secrets.
"Well, it seems that other than some necessary situations, we can only use stones to record things that need to be memorized."
He decisively gave up the idea of using all these parchments to write teaching materials. After all, there would be more things that would require these parchments in the future. So, before he could think of a way to get the parchments back, it was better to use them sparingly.
"Memorize things? Are you talking about your multiplication table? Or is it the geometry that you planned to teach me but gave up? "
Eich, on the other hand, thought about the things he taught her based on his words, especially the mathematics that made her dizzy.
"That's right. In this world, mathematics is the only thing that won't lie to you, because what you don't know is what you don't know. Although it's said that people can do many things when they're forced into a corner, they've perfectly eliminated mathematics, so they're the most suitable things to be carved on stone. "
Then, it would be used to suppress the students' resentment.
Li Ke added in his heart. He planned to carve the multiplication table, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as the Pythagorean theorem on a rock and place it in the town square as a display and teaching material. Not only that, he planned to carve calculus on a rock when he was free in the future and put it in a place where many people could see it, reminding them all the time, "You can't hide from calculus."
"Okay, but actually, I want to put my archery skills on it …"
Eich looked a little disappointed. After all, she had never experienced the feeling of recording her own skills and passing them on to the next generation.
"Of course, it's not too difficult. But seriously, where's the land you prepared for me?"
Li Ke put the pile of parchments on his bed and asked what he cared about the most.
"I'm here for this. Well, actually, Keira was the one who wanted to give you the parchments, but I stopped her."
Li Ke instantly remembered the passionate Matriarch of Zhan. She seemed to be determined to get closer to Aichy, and she did a lot of "pious" things. But in fact, her purpose was very simple. She wanted to have a place in the legends of the future.
Of course, it was also to maintain her status and bloodline.
It was just that her fanaticism was too much of a headache.
"… Thank you. So, can you bring me there now?"
Li Ke thanked her sincerely. Then, he picked up the seed bag that he had prepared and came to Aichy's side.
"Of course."
Aichy pushed open the curtain of the tent and led Li Ke to the place she had prepared. They didn't ride horses. Instead, they walked through the ruins of the ancient city.
The bustling ancient city that had been lively for three days had finally cooled down. Li Ke could finally see its true appearance.
Dark green stone slabs could be seen everywhere in the ancient city. They replaced the soil as the stepping stone for people. But due to the passing of time, or perhaps due to technical limitations during construction, the stone slabs were now uneven and many of them were completely shattered.
Beside these flagstone roads, there were stone houses built against the slope. These houses were basically pieced together with several large stones. Apart from the windows and doors, there were no other non-stone materials.
The traces of growth left behind by the moss had faded. The dust blown by the wind had left its traces on the stone houses and roads. The attentive Li Ke also discovered that there were many small potholes at the edge of the roads and beside the houses. These regular and irregular potholes were undoubtedly caused by the erosion of water.
The more he followed Aichy, the more obvious the dilapidated stone city became. Many of the stone houses had wooden roofs. Some of them were completely unique to the Freldrod people. They were wooden houses that looked as though a boat had been turned upside down.
"I thought you weren't interested in this place."
Aichy's voice sounded when Li Ke looked at a broken stone statue. In Li Ke's senses, her voice was crisp and beautiful that didn't match this ancient city. There was even a moment when Li Ke felt that he had returned to his hometown and was only here for a vacation.
"Actually, I'm quite interested. But the problem is that I have to drink whenever I go out these few days. So I can only pretend that I'm not interested."
Li Ke took some snow from the broken statue and squeezed it into a snowball as he answered Aichy.
The Freldrod people's banquets were a little terrible for Li Ke. He felt this way no matter which tribe he was in. And in this place, he still had to deal with Aichy's suitors.
So he didn't have the time to take a good look at this ancient city. Other than attending the banquet with Aichy, he was basically thinking about problems in his tent.
So to him, this was really his first time seriously looking at Aichy's territory.
"Then after looking at your land, are you interested in walking around with me?"
Aichy combed her hair and asked Li Ke seriously. After saying this, she smiled and said something that made Li Ke feel a little awkward.
"Don't worry, I took a bath yesterday. You won't be able to bear it. "
