I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 230 Mercer

"One, two, three, four..."

Zi'an and the saintess looked in the direction Li Mosi was pointing and immediately saw the slave.

They quickly realized something was wrong.

That slave read it very smoothly!

And it's more accurate than the average citizen's!

Much more accurate!

Li Mosi watched as Hagi Saint slowly opened his eyes.

"It seems that's really the case?"

Her tone was slow and questioning.

"That's clearly it!"

Zi'an turned his head to look back immediately.

There are indeed intelligent people among the slaves!

My teacher said she hadn't paid any attention to it before!

clap clap clap!

Zi Yi quickly led everyone to read the number table in succession.

He tapped the wall a few times with his pointer.

"Read it yourselves for a while, and I'll teach you addition, subtraction, and multiplication later."

"Yes, sir."

"Understood, sir."

"Yes, Chief..."

Everyone responded, and Zi Yi walked back to Li Mosi's side.

He took out a small water bag from his waist and took a sip.

After drinking some water, he plopped down next to the three of them.

Wow~~~

Zi Yi looked like he was falling apart.

He turned to look at Li Mosi.

"Master, these humans are even dumber than goblins."

"You can't say that! Hmm!"

Just as Haji was about to speak, Li Mosi pinched his mouth shut again.

"Shut up."

Has this guy forgotten that she's leaning against him?

Li Mosi just felt her eardrums being suddenly attacked.

He watched as Hagi Saint quieted down, then turned to look at Zi Yi.

"Think about it, why are they stupid?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zi'an again.

You should think about it too.

The two disciples looked up at the sky, and Hagi Saint forced a smile and spoke.

"Aren't our people born stupid? It's as if anyone has ever been smart."

No matter what, these ordinary citizens are the group furthest from the blessing of the God of Light in the territory.

If they could all become smart, that territory would truly be blessed by God!

Like the Papacy.

Even slaves could read some words.

Seeing that Hagi Saint hadn't stopped, Li Mosi changed from pinching her lips with two fingers to clamping her lips with her whole palm, silencing Hagi Saint.

"Mmm!"

Zi'an looked at Li Mosi.

"Master, is it because these people are living such a hard life?"

Judging from the ages of those leaders, she found that the more tiring a person's life is, the slower they learn.

Even in the same family, children who don't have to work too hard always learn faster than adults.

Therefore, she considered this possibility.

"Is that so, Master?"

Zi Yi looked over.

He was also paying attention to the audience while he was giving his lecture.

Even without being reminded, he noticed a pattern.

He just felt that Zian's explanation was too vague.

"It's roughly correct, but not entirely accurate."

Li Mosi glanced at his two disciples, then casually swept his gaze over Haji Saint, who was frowning.

For this kind of popular science material, he chooses to provide the answer first.

"The key is to eat meat."

"Meat?"

This made Yi Zian frown.

Can eating make you smarter?

"Mmm!"

The saint suddenly began to struggle, twisting her head from side to side.

How can eating make you stronger?

It is clearly divine grace that makes people smarter and stronger!

Better food is merely an outward manifestation of divine grace!

Li Moss didn't know what Hagi Saint was twisting. He increased the force in his hands while taking out the lead disc with the papal emblem.

"Mmm~"

Haki Saint was immediately deflated.

Li Mosi looked at his two disciples.

"Have you ever thought about why you eat in the first place?"

"Will you starve to death if you don't eat?"

These are Zi'an's words.

"Will eating this give me more energy?"

These are Zi Yi's words.

"because……"

Li Mosi was about to speak when she frowned.

He couldn't bring himself to say things like "consuming energy to replenish amino acids," which he used to talk about before he transmigrated.

The two disciples couldn't even articulate the basic concept of "using form to supplement form."

As for the original owner's memories, the locals' most common way of saying they ate something good was "a blessing."

After a few seconds of thought, Li Mosi spoke again.

"Because our growth and movement consume energy, we need to replenish it."

He ultimately decided to fill the missing concept with a simple and easy-to-understand metaphor.

"It's like a lake. Growth is the lake getting bigger, and action is the lake water flowing away."

"If this lake continues to grow and the water inside continues to flow away, then this lake will dry up very soon."

Zi Yi looked at the lake not far away and suddenly understood.

"Then we'll need to get water from somewhere else?"

Zi'an also realized what was happening.

"So the only other edible food is water from other lakes?"

"That's right."

Li Mosi nodded.

"For those children who are still young, their lakes haven't grown much yet, and they don't lack water due to food shortages; a little water can easily fill them up."

"Once you start counting children over six, it's very difficult to make up for lost time. The older they get, the harder it is to catch up. At best, you can improve their cognitive abilities slightly or make them feel more energetic."

Although the metaphor failed to reveal the true reason, it was enough to guide the two disciples to accept the conclusion.

"I understand, Master."

Zi'an looked at the people again, his eyes filled with pity.

Zi Yi's dissatisfaction gradually subsided.

Since things have come to this, there's nothing he can do.

But this doesn't seem right, does it?!

The saintess instinctively felt that something was amiss.

Even though lakes vary in size, they are still lakes.

But the differences between people are far more than that!

Even if she asked people to remember what she was supposed to do, the common people could never remember!

If she is a lake, then the common people are just puddles they casually dig in the ground!

No, no, no, that's not right.

Why did she compare herself to her fellow citizens?

This is an insult to her!

"My late master..."

Zi'an then looked at Li Mosi.

"Then why was that slave so intelligent?"

Logically, the slaves here should be living worse than the ordinary citizens.

"Wow?"

Zi Yi was puzzled.

"Which slave?"

He hadn't paid close attention to that.

Zi'an pointed in that direction.

"The one you just tapped with the twig."

The four of them looked in the direction she was pointing.

The slaves, who had been holding their heads up, immediately lowered them.

Why are these adults looking this way?

The slave "Mercer" was somewhat puzzled.

Although he didn't know why the pronunciation of these numbers had changed, he could generally understand them.

But he was clearly reading at the same speed as everyone else.

He wasn't the only one who read the text correctly, so why were all four new lords looking at him?

Could it be because of what happened at the beginning?

Judging from what these new lords have done in the last few days, they should be considered good people.

First they fed them a hearty meal with meat and cheese, then they were told to build a wider and smoother road, and then they were fed a full meal again.

He had never eaten such good food since he was taken here as a slave by the caravan.

Now I can eat two meals a day!

Mercer felt his groggy mind gradually clearing, and the pain and fatigue that had accumulated in his body were also improving.

Perhaps the adults are just talking about him?

clap clap clap!

Three loud collisions made everyone look up at the textbook again.

"Let's continue!"

Ziyi's break time is over.

"Look at this, it's a plus sign, which means..."

Teaching continues.

Li Mosi, bored, opened the [Leshanshui] map.

Two days have passed, shouldn't Zwan be back by now?

Read Chapter 230, Mercer, now to begin your exciting day.
