Chapter 14 Part1 (2/2)

Waiting until noon, all the children have already mastered the meaning and writing of these 3 words. After Liang Li Dong made them practice on their own in the afternoon, he dismisses them.

At this time, the young and prime-age laborers have already came back. They pour the stone materials at the flat ground in the center of the village and form a small hill. Eating the rations they brought themselves and water from water and after a short break, they begin to build the foundation. Whether a house can be built well depends on whether the foundation is firm or not. Some slightly older students are not in a hurry to return home but help the group of adults in building the temple.

Naturally, there are adults asking about how their learning situation is at this time. These few children say out Liang Li Dong’s request, if it is in the past, other people demanding their children to bath every day, was.h.i.+ng their hands before and after meals, there is no way these adults will not spit and scold that person: Whoever has seen a child from a poor family bathing once a day.

However, Liang Li Dong is different, he is a priest, a spellcaster, a group of people more n.o.ble than n.o.bles. And most importantly, their children are beginning to learn words now, they can barely be considered as half a ‘scholar’ in the future and not poor peasants anymore. Scholars have etiquette scholars must follow. Learning the most basic etiquette from now, is what they have to and must to. This shows that Lord Priest are not casually fooling them but seriously teaching the children.

This world does not have the saying of ‘One good turn deserves another’ but they understand that words are not something that can be learned with just money. Lord Priest is willing to teach, that is a blessing from G.o.ddess Waukeen. Furthermore, if they were to learn words at the city themselves, a hundred words will cost 1 gold coins and that does not include making sure you mastered it and will not even teach you how to write it. They will only teach you how to recognize, even if you cannot recognize, it is none of their business.

Lord Priest is going to teaching the children 540 words, if converted to gold coins, it is 5 gold and 40 silver. This amount, even if everyone of their village does not eat nor drink and work for a year, they may not be able to pool that amount. If Seri Village’s village head sold the high grade beast skins in his house, he can get some gold coins but that is his savings from dozens of years. It can be said that those things were earned with his life, he cannot bear to change those into money.

Since Lord Priest is so generous, then they have to give their all to build the temple well so that they can barely repay this kindness.

Liang Li Dong does not feel how generous he is, in the eyes of players, a simple lesson on words is not worth much. To them, what is really valuable are all kinds of combat skills, Traits, or magic and character EXP……Teaching student can receive character EXP, it is actually a win-win situation. To players, character EXP is much more important than those petty money.

After having lunch, Liang Li Dong says to the Village Head: “Old Reed, can you lend me Kyle for an afternoon, I intend to go to Winter Wind City and buy some necessary magic alchemy items.”

In the game, Winter Wind City was destroyed in the hands of players, hence although Liang Li Dong heard of the name of Winter Wind City, he has not been there before.

“Lord Beta, Kyle is your student now, it’s only right that he helps his teacher out. Order him as you like, I have no rights to interfere.”

Kyle’s mouth is chewing on the egg steamed meat that Liang Li Dong made while nodding with all his might. As a lively boy, he naturally hopes to go sightseeing everywhere but paying headcount tax every time he enters the city made him unhappy so if there is nothing, he rarely goes to the city. However, if it is accompanying his teacher, there is no need to pay headcount tax, those soldiers guarding the city gates bully the weak and fear the strong. They dare to get money from commoners but if it is mercenaries, Cla.s.s-ers or spellcasters, they will not dare to get a penny.

“Ok, bring Behring along too.” Liang Li Dong says after thinking for a while.

He already discovered it when teaching the children words just now, Kyle is the smartest among all the children, being able to recognize words at once and writing is learned easily. Behring is poorer but when compared to other children, she is considered outstanding too and is worth grooming. If he were to groom these 2 children into G.o.ddess Waukeen’s believers, he can get the Devout points System gives out which can be used to exchange low rank Divine Spells. On the other hand, he can get 2 helpers to help deal with the trivial matters in the temple.

“Okay, I’ll go and call Behring over now.” Kyle stuffs the remaining bread into his mouth, wipes his mouth and runs out through the door.

“Lord Beta……” Old Village Head hesitates for a while, looks a bit troubled but still says it in the end: “If you encountered something you cannot deal with conveniently in Winter Wind City, you can go to Black Iron Tavern in the east area and look for an old man named ‘Iron Hook’. His skills are not bad and used to be a Cla.s.s-er, if sufficient money is given, he is willing to do anything.”

Liang Li Dong raises his head, looks at the old Village Head and says while slightly puzzled: “Why did you suddenly tell me these things?”
