Lord of Rot

When Li Qi returned to the castle, he was slightly surprised when he saw the letter delivered to his hand.

"Could it be that women have undergone a major transformation?"

In his impression, the letter written by his cousin who loves us very much has a literary flavor.

Because the previous letter was short and polite, nothing could be discerned, but this letter is completely different, and one can see his character.

And it seems that grandpa intends for the two of them to communicate for a long time. Isn't it just to be pen pals? It's trivial.

After Li Qi sat at his desk and pondered for a while with a pen, he quickly finished writing the letter, and then asked the white raven, who had rested for a few days, to take the letter away. It could be seen that this life of correspondence would continue for a long time.

Although instructor Coran died, the selection of followers was not over.

The teenagers who stayed behind breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were not sent home.

But the next information made them worried again, because the next person to review was the lord!

Grant has been busy with the recent teaching and training. He knows what the lord means, so he intends to teach more and cultivate the reading and writing skills of the teenagers. The results are not bad. At the beginning, 35 of them were illiterate, but after these few days, After the instruction, 14 of them could barely keep up with the learning progress. Almost all of them were younger and smarter.

Of the remaining 21, 8 could not learn to write their own names.

The last part of my learning ability is not that bad, but I am just not interested in learning and even find it painful.

People are forced to do anything except math problems.

Basic arithmetic happens to be part of the training, and 21 people are stuck here. They just can't learn math problems. They don't have enough brains and they can't work hard.

Li Qi happily let these 21 people go home.

When they left, they were still complaining in their hearts. Why did it count if the knight's retinue only knew how to hold a gun?

But he dared not say anything.

With the remaining 14, Li Qi taught them addition and subtraction within 100, as well as the 99 multiplication table.

Fortunately, Lurea's numbers are not complicated and can be nested into multiplication tables.

This is the wisdom of our ancestors!

Not only on Lulea continent, but even on Earth, those foreigners don’t know the 99 multiplication table. They use the line-drawing method. After drawing the line, they count the intersecting points. At first glance, they think they are playing backgammon.

Since we want to train a group of apprentices who can do chores and do math, we can't let go of this aspect.

As the next teacher, Grant naturally followed the whole process. When the Lord proposed multiplication and division, Grant sat up straight. When the Lord drew the "99 multiplication table" with his own hands, Grant's eyes widened completely.

Just memorize it by rote and develop a habit, and you will be able to say it instantly when you need it.

"Only with the blessing of the gods can one have this kind of wisdom."

He looked at Li Qi with eyes full of admiration.

In the past, Grant could only count them one by one on his fingers. For example, if he was selling white bread outside, if one sold for 3 bronze stars, and someone wanted 20, he would give one, then collect 3 bronze stars, and then give another one. This is also the clumsy but cautious way civilians do business.

The smarter ones have 3 Bronze Stars, and those with 3 Bronze Stars count 20 times.

After doing business for a long time, you may develop a habit and be able to tell the amount in one breath, but if you want 18 white loaves, you have to start counting from the beginning.

With the lord's 99 multiplication table... Grant searched in the multiplication table and saw 2

As long as you memorize this multiplication table, you will have no problems with arithmetic!

"Make it memorized, and then I will give the questions," Li Qi said to the teenagers: "Those who pass will stay, and those who cannot pass will go."

If you can't make do with talent and can't do arithmetic, then forget about it.

Anyway, there is more than one job fair. There are many craftsmen such as masons and carpenters.

The remaining 14 teenagers shouted yes excitedly.

They don't understand the usefulness of the multiplication table, but that doesn't stop them from working hard to compete for the identity of the knight's retinue.

Isn't it better to carry this than to go back to farming? Isn’t it better than being a slave?

"Sir, you..." Grant's throat was dry, and he leaned close to Li Qi and asked in a low voice: "Is your multiplication table a blessing from the four gods?"

"A dream" Li Qi said seriously: "Infinite knowledge has penetrated into my brain."

"You have the wisdom blessed by the gods," Grant said excitedly.

Although most of the numbers, he can get the answers in an instant through habit. The convenient tables and convenient calculation methods are full of infinite wisdom. Only those blessed by the gods can understand!

"Study hard." Li Qi patted Grant on the shoulder: "I still expect you to teach them addition and subtraction."

Unlike multiplication and division, addition and subtraction just don't have a systematic concept. In fact, Lureyan people use it all the time in their lives. On the contrary, multiplication is rarely used, which will provide a lot of help.

Looking at the serious and eager-to-learn Grant, Li Qi smiled proudly: "I still have a linear equation of one variable that I haven't taken out yet!"

In mathematics, he can get a junior high school level at most, but not more than nine years of compulsory education.

"Well, it would have been nice if I had studied mathematics, physics and chemistry well at that time. Unlike now, I have to rely on magic."

Apart from being a guest teacher to teach the 14 selected teenagers, Li Qi basically spent the rest of his time exploring the headland crypt.

Adhering to the idea of ​​​​recycling waste, he controlled Kelan Fusak's body and entered the crypt.

Li Qi didn't have control training skills, but the number of corpses he could control had increased from 9 to 16, making him a proper crypt exploration team.

The commercial area of ​​the Cape Crypt has been explored almost, and most of the harpies flying in the sky have been killed.

The harpy is not strong in combat. Its only advantage is that it can fly, so Li Qi did not transform too much. However, the number of the little blue-skinned monster "Gabalin" is increasing. It holds a spear and fires a volley, and the opponent is instantly transformed. It would be more like turning into a porcupine, if it was so scared that it turned around and ran away with a spear stuck in its butt.

A harpy acting as a porter grabbed a bag of looted treasure and flew to a sealed room in the business district.

The window opened and a hand grasped the bag in the harpy's talons.

Very heavy!

The owner of the arm was pulled downward by the weight and almost fell down the stairs.

The harpy turned and flew away, dragging the bag into the room with that hand and closing the window.

"Phew" Betty breathed out.

More than twenty bags had gathered in the room.

She turned the bag over in her hand.

Wow!

There are gold statues, jewelry inlaid with various gemstones, exquisite silver daggers, and stubborn curved silver sticks like cucumbers, etc.

She put the treasures in separate places. After the team of corpses grew, her job became sorting and sorting, and she only stayed in this small room every day.

She didn't have to worry about food and drink for the time being. The food and water brought back by the corpse belonged to the mercenaries of the same team, which could sustain her for a long time.

Every time she saw new food, she knew another of her companions had been killed.

Have a good death!

Betty didn't feel pity for those bastards who betrayed one of their own. They let themselves be used as bait to kill him, and they deserved to die.

Then he sat in the corner, looked at the window, and was in a daze.

She had no way of knowing whether it was day or night outside the crypt, nor did she know how much time had passed. The idea of ​​​​escaping was still strong, but she was looking forward to the window being knocked again, even if what happened next was a A dead harpy, or a blue-skinned gabalin.

Because she knows that the monsters in front of her are all false, and the person who looks at her through the eyes of the monster is the real one.

He protected himself like a mercenary in iron armor.
