Chapter 147 Painful Learning
Chapter 147 Painful Learning
"Look what I have in my hand!"
Early in the morning, Zi Yi gathered all the goblins on the south side of the warehouse.
He was holding a sheet of pinyin characters written in oversized font.
More than three hundred goblins looked up in a huge swarm, with the goblins at the back even standing on tiptoe.
The goblin warriors at the front had seen the white paper map hand-drawn by Li Moss, and they were curious about what was drawn on it.
"What's drawn on that?"
"It doesn't look like a map."
"It doesn't even look like a painting?"
But the newly returned goblins at the back of the group had never seen this before.
"Wow, such white fabric!"
"It's shiny!"
"Doesn't it look like wool?"
"What is this?"
They just felt they had never seen this before, but some of the prisoners knew its value!
Moreover, they are taller and can see the paper clearly!
"Donkey grass—"
Lasso tilted his head forward, just wanting to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
That's a piece of cloth!
The fabric is as white as a white stone and even reflects light!
This is something a goblin could never do!
He's never seen any nobles use it!
This made him look towards Zi Yi's side.
His gaze swept past the tall Zian, looked at Li Mosi beside him, and then at the saintess with dazed eyes.
Could it be the eldest daughter of this noble family?
Is she still a high-ranking noble?
Lacas frowned. "What is that? It looks like soft, white stone shards?"
This thing is so weird!
"Hiss~"
Soth, whose face was still half-blue, grimaced and gasped.
"This is definitely fabric."
How could a stone be so soft?
The slaves, led by Kaken, were so astonished that they couldn't even speak.
Their limited vocabulary and knowledge left them speechless.
It seems pretty impressive?
They couldn't help but look at Zwan.
However, Zwan looked exhausted.
From the moment he recognized the saintess, he stopped thinking about many things.
But this makes it seem like I'm some uncultured country bumpkin who's never seen the world.
The conversation was interrupted in an awkward atmosphere.
The goblins gradually fell silent as no one answered.
Once they quieted down, Zi Yi shouted, "This is a pronunciation chart! It teaches you how to speak!"
"say?"
"Can't we talk?"
"Enough! Listen to the leader!"
Upon hearing Zi Yi's introduction, the goblins began to squawk again.
However, some goblins have already gained experience and have taken the initiative to maintain order.
In less than half a minute, the goblins quieted down again.
Zi Yi then continued speaking.
"This is to teach you to speak like human beings! Learning it will make you smarter! Don't you want to be smarter?!"
Need I say more?
"I want to! I really want to!"
"I want to become smarter!"
Most goblins don't differ much in physical appearance.
Getting stronger is so hard!
But becoming smarter can also help you hunt more prey!
As for the connection between speaking like a human and becoming smarter?
The leader said so! Would the leader lie to them?
impossible!
After the goblins squealed excitedly, Zi Yi then announced.
"I need to choose a new captain from among the goblins who are not yet warriors! The smarter goblin can be the captain! As for the warriors! The smarter warriors will receive more rewards from me!"
Wow! There's a reward too!
"Thank you, Chief!"
The goblins became even more excited, with some in the front row even jumping up and down with their hands raised!
"Alright! Now I'll teach you! Follow along!"
Zi Yi took out a bunch of pinyin charts. According to last night's plan, one chart was to be given to every twenty goblins, but the most loyal spear-throwing warriors held the charts to prevent them from being damaged.
Taking advantage of this moment, Li Mosi used beeswax to stick a form onto the south wall of the warehouse.
Da da da da...
Suddenly, a series of chaotic sounds arose from the road the tribe had come from the south.
All the goblins turned to look.
The transport team has returned.
Li Mosi was the first to walk over.
Zi'an quickly called the prisoners to get to work: "All of you come with me and unload the stuff."
"Yes, Lady Enlian."
Li Mosi stood on the slope and looked down, and saw that every donkey and ox was busy pulling the cart.
Their condition was terrible.
After several consecutive nights of starry nights, the seven slaves and goblins were also in poor condition, all sporting large, dark green or purplish-black dark circles under their eyes.
The old man at the front of the group quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Li Mosi.
"My lord, I will follow your will. I pieced together the broken carts from the ranch and got a few complete donkey carts."
"Well done, thank you for your hard work."
Li Mosi patted the old man on the shoulder and subconsciously offered words of comfort.
The old man quickly shook his head: "It's not hard work, it's not hard work. I didn't expect that following the adults would actually allow me to eat meat every day. This is what I should do."
After he finished speaking, as if deliberately avoiding Li Mosi's interaction, he turned his head and waved, signaling the convoy to continue forward.
"Hurry up! We can rest as soon as we're done!"
"Stop this way! This is a newly built warehouse!"
Zi'an took the initiative to take command and led the convoy closer to the warehouse.
Upon hearing her words, the old man turned to look at the warehouse again.
Is that grayish-yellow mud house the warehouse?
What items did you transport this time?
Li Mosi's words brought the old man's attention back.
"Yes, sir, let me think."
The old man was clearly exhausted, but he had never felt so good.
"We first brought back the consumables and high-value food we left behind last time, and we also found a lot of copper tableware, as well as several sets of silver tableware..."
As he was speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out on the side of the convoy.
"Giggle giggle giggle—"
"Ugh—ugh—ugh—"
Zi'an shouted, "Why are there chickens and geese too?!"
She was splashed in the face as soon as she opened the bag!
"Wow! Grab the meat right now!"
"Lady Enlian! The craftsman said to bring back the expensive items first!"
"puff--"
Seeing Zi'an's disheveled appearance, Hagi Saint, who was being held back by Li Mosi, couldn't hold back any longer.
Li Mosi suddenly tugged at the rope in her hand, and Hagi Saint felt his body lose its balance and then pulled back down.
When the old man saw a group of prisoners and goblins catching chickens and geese, he quickly began to explain.
"Wheat is relatively cheap, so I didn't pack too much. I caught the chickens and geese from the ranch first."
Li Mosi nodded.
"What else?"
Other?
The old man was stunned for a moment.
"There are over a hundred pigs and sheep in total, and we can't transport them all at once."
"That's not it."
Li Mosi waved her hand.
"I mean, what else was brought back?"
The old man suddenly realized something.
"besides……"
Consumables that couldn't be brought back last time; high-value food; hay and a huge pile of metal cutlery; empty wooden containers; hundreds of chickens and geese...
Since Li Mosi had brought back high-value items that goblins couldn't make last time, the old man had to gather a lot of other things besides wheat to fill all the carts.
He even brought back two iron gates!
Perfect timing! Once everything was out, they put what could fit in the warehouse inside and replaced the warehouse door with an iron gate.
Now we don't have to worry about anyone sneaking in.
The goblins and the old man went back to the big cave to sleep.
Ziyi began teaching.
He taught the goblins the same way that Limers had taught him.
As a result, both of them were in great pain.
