From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 17 Necessity

When the old witch doctor finished speaking, the big witch doctor also said,

"Well, civilization still lies in the future. In our plan, the education of little trolls has become a necessity. Under this premise, if the current soldiers do not study hard, when batches of little trolls will come one after another in the future,

As it grows, will the tribe be fundamentally torn apart? From this perspective alone, it is quite necessary to supervise the warriors."

Immediately following, came the speech of the Chinese witch doctor,

"When it comes to knowledge, 'mathematics', 'geometry', 'physics', 'general knowledge', etc., there are more and more things to learn. The content has been increasing, but the growth rate of teaching power has not kept up with the growth rate.

If this continues, almost all of our time will be spent on popularizing primary knowledge. From the perspective of the future development of the tribe, isn't this a huge waste? From this point of view, the warrior's

Literacy must also continue. At the very least, it must reach a level that can help us offload the basic education part, so that our time can be used on more difficult things."

The witch doctor's words were a little harsh, causing the chief's expression to change slightly.

A few years ago, when he first became the chief, he might have had an attack; but now, he has restrained himself very well. After all, this is the truth, and it cannot be changed by saying a few nice words.

When Blade Ya heard this, he frowned slightly.

At best, the Chinese witch doctor's speech was straightforward, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it except that it was not pleasant to listen to. However, if you think about it carefully, there are some clues of a 'chain of contempt' between different divisions of labor. Fortunately, the total number of trolls is just that

Under certain conditions, the number of witch doctors is not enough to form a highly differentiated 'class', but it is hard to say in the future.

As the number of witch doctors increases, even if most witch doctors don't have any messy ideas, as long as there are a few self-respecting witch doctors jumping on the stage, it may create a gap between spellcasting trolls and ordinary trolls.

However, there seems to be a saying in the past life that "when humans think, God laughs", and it must be the same for trolls. Especially for trolls with active thinking like witch doctors, they are afraid that they have not gone in that direction in the first place.

I think, after you mentioned it like this, it actually promoted his random thoughts.

In the case where the Chinese witch doctor did not have a clear preference, Blade Ya was afraid that his own accusations would cause conflicts that did not exist in the first place.

"Well, didn't Banya take us to taste the taste of 'cooked food' some time ago? It does feel more delicious than 'raw meat' (Note 4); duel, power, glory, bonfire, food, let the warriors first, and

Little cubs, let’s experience the changes brought about by ‘knowledge’!”

After thinking for a moment, the old witch doctor spoke again,

The old witch doctor laughed and cursed, and continued to give instructions,

"Scatter all the half-grown boys out and collect as many fruits and branches as possible. The soldiers have also worked harder these days. With certain exceptions, each team will catch more prey."

"By the way, didn't the fang witch doctor develop the 'Wind Movement', 'Giant Power', and 'Rage Technique'? Chief, have you experienced it? How about it? With the blessing, you are sure to hunt back an adult Sabretooth."

(Note 1)?"

"Well, as long as you have confidence. Fang Witch Doctor, these spells are most effective for you to use. How long can they last?"

None of the other witch doctors, including the Chinese witch doctor himself, seemed to think there was anything wrong with this speech, so the discussion continued.

"I don't have anything to add here. I just need to think about the methods. Just relying on the chief's mouth to talk about this kind of thing may not have any effect."

While everyone was discussing, Blade Ya would occasionally close his eyes and listen quietly.

When the chief heard this, he seemed to recall the feeling of power that filled his body when the spell was applied to his body. His eyes turned red with excitement and he replied excitedly,

"If you hunt alone, you don't have enough time. In that case, Chief, you have ordered the soldiers to look for traces of the saber-toothed beasts in the past few days, and let us know as soon as possible after they find them."

So, let’s prioritize things, take them one step at a time, and focus on the problem at hand first.

"No problem, leave it to us."

"I understand, but the food can't be saved."

"This is good, this is good!"

"Ah, old witch doctor. Isn't this too dangerous for these two witch doctors?"

"It doesn't matter, you don't need to keep it for too long, just wait until the day when the Sabertooth is captured."

The chief stood up with a bang. The muscles of his nearly three-meter-long body were tangled, and there was a faint sense of oppression.

"The 'Giant Power' spell is okay and can last for five standard points; the 'Rage spell' is the most unstable and can only last for 1 light point (Note 3). After the effect fades, there is still a weak period of three standard light points."

If you ignore some "old vocabulary", the conversations between several witch doctors and the chief often give him the illusion that "Ah, I am still on earth".

Although the chief knew that the powers of the witch doctors had changed, he still had no real sense of the power of the spells, so he was worried.

"Rough Tooth, Sharp Tooth, the two witch doctors will work hard and catch one alive after getting the news."

"Okay! Absolutely no problem!"

For example, now, he associates 'bacon' from 'cooked food' and 'bonfire'.

,,,,,

"Is there anything else to add? If not, just follow this idea, sort it out and pass it on. By the way, where is your side, Banya?"

"Let me think about how we can make them realize the importance of 'knowledge'."

"It's okay. You send two teams of soldiers to assist you, and leave the rest to the two witch doctors. You have to prepare well these two days. The captured Sabertooth is still waiting to duel with you. In all

Under the watchful eye of the warrior."

"You are blocking the light, you fool. Sit down quickly."

"Understood, I'll give the order when I get back."

"Understood."

"I have improved the stability. Now the 'Feng Xing Technique' lasts the longest and can last for half a standard light time (Note 2)."

Hearing that he seemed to have no chance of killing an adult Sabertooth alone, the glory-hungry chief was a little disappointed, but he still agreed.

He licked his thick fangs, sprayed out two streams of hot air visible to the naked eye from his nostrils, and said excitedly,

However, this kind of memory is only an occasional episode. After so many years, the Black Forest is now his 'hometown'.

In his previous life, he was not an 'advanced person', and it was somewhat hypocritical to put the proposition 'how to build a better hometown' on him; but now, Banya is one of the tallest people in the tribe, and he is also the 'tallest' person in the tribe.

Helping the world' has become a natural responsibility and a habitual thinking direction.

"Yes, we have been eating raw meat and stuff like this for so many years?"

After listening to all the statements, the old witch doctor turned to Blade Fang and asked.

"Understood! Haha! Leave it to me!"

Note 1: Smilodon, medium-sized predator (new standard for trolls: medium-sized predator, weighing more than 1 and less than 3 predatory monsters of mature trolls; small predator, weighing more than 1/3 and less than 1

A mature troll; a miniature predator, weighing less than 1/3 of a mature troll. The magic core level generally matches its own ecological niche.); although the magic core level is not high, it has natural magic abilities that are highly matched to itself, plus

He has a strong body and is in the middle and upper reaches of the Black Forest food chain. He is alert by nature, good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and is not easy to be rounded up.

Note 2: The standard lamp hour is a new unit of time. The time for the standard lamp core to burn out indoors is 'a standard lamp hour'. Using his own 'feeling' as the standard, Blade Ya designed and manufactured a lamp that can burn for about one hour in the previous life.

The first batch of lamp cores (with huge error) are used as the standard.

Note 3: Since trolls themselves do not have the habit of precise timing, Blade Ya crudely designed the concepts of standard time and standard minutes using base 60 when designing time conversions, and introduced '60 standard minutes = 4 quarters of an hour = 2

The formula "standard half time = 1 standard time" is agreed upon by everyone who has used it.

Note 4: The tribe did not originally have the concept of 'raw food, cooked food', but with the appearance of the first skewers of barbecue, this distinction was also introduced by Blade Ya. In addition, although eating cooked food occasionally has no effect, will eating cooked food for a long time have any impact?

The impact of trolls? It is still unknown. Experience from past lives is not reliable in this regard.
