Reincarnation with AI (Unemployment-Free)

Chapter 76 Inside the Library

In addition to reading, writing, arithmetic, and magic, which Rudeus was in charge of, Alice's studies also included swordsmanship, etiquette, and history.

Swordsmanship was handled by Girenu, while etiquette was handled by Edna.

History was taught to Alice by Philip in his spare time.

Before Rudeus arrived, Alice's schedule was: learning swordsmanship in the morning and etiquette in the evening.

In his long conversations with the AI, Rudeus, who was a science student in his previous life, also began to value history more and more.

Unfortunately, in retrospect, all I have are some scattered names and dates.

In his previous life, Rudeus was not fortunate enough to have a good history teacher.

Those so-called teachers just read from the textbook and then demanded that Rudius memorize the entire text.

Rudius's historical achievements naturally become a mess.

Compared to history, ancient poetry is more interesting. Although Rudius could not understand the beauty of the words at that time, many poems at least told a short story.

As time went on, Rudius began to place increasing importance on the humanities.

AI brought Rudius more than just the filling and expansion of knowledge.

Communicating with AI itself requires Rudius to constantly refine his ideas into words.

Editing text is itself a process of organizing and learning.

This is remarkably similar to the process of repeatedly proving triangle similarity and breaking down two linear equations in two variables during junior high school in my previous life.

Looking back, Rudius realized that he had already opened the door to the world of language.

At the same time, because the conversation with the AI ​​was in Chinese, Rudeus did not become rusty in Chinese even though he lived in another world. In fact, he was even more proficient in Chinese than in his previous life.

The availability of multilingual resources also enabled Rudius to make rapid progress in his language learning.

When he was alone, Rudius would secretly say a few words in Chinese, and there was no awkwardness in it.

During his interactions with Alice, Rudeus noticed that she had an unusual fascination with adventure stories.

And this yearning always has a source—Rudeus would immediately have this idea.

This is why he attaches increasing importance to history.

History can also be the history of one person.

After learning that Philip was Alice's history teacher, Rudius, intrigued, decided that he would audit her classes!

Rudius was quite suspicious that Philip's identity as a history teacher was actually a continuation of his bedtime stories, which allowed him to get Alice to listen attentively in class.

As a child, Alice lay beside her father, listening to bedtime stories, which ignited her passion for adventure.

When Alice grew up, Philip took advantage of her enthusiasm and went from being a storyteller to a history teacher.

No wonder this guy knows so much about education—it turns out he's personally involved in it; he was Alice's teacher.

However, as the mayor of Roya City, he also personally intervened in his daughter's education.

It's clear how much he loves this daughter.

Rudius then followed Alice to the library and met Philip.

Rudius saw that Philip was holding some documents and seemed to be working.

As Rudeus hesitated, Alice, oblivious to his cues, grabbed his sleeve and rushed forward, exclaiming, "Father, I brought Rudeus along to hear the story!"

Philip paused, holding his quill pen, and looked up at the doorway.

His daughter was standing there, tugging at the tutor's sleeve, looking completely entitled.

Rudius wore a perfectly balanced expression of embarrassment, neither pulling away from Alice's hand nor speaking rashly.

"Sit down first, wait a moment," Philip said before continuing his work.

"Hmph!" Alice released Rudeus's hand and huffed unhappily, but still sat down obediently.

Rudeus, inwardly criticizing the impetuous Alice, sat down somewhat awkwardly.

After Philip finished dealing with the documents at hand, he looked up and saw that Alice's face was full of urgency.

Philip smiled, pushed the documents aside, and his serious expression returned to its previous casual demeanor.

Philip waved for the butler to serve tea and asked, "So, what story do you want to tell?"

Upon hearing Philip's question, Alice turned to look at Rudius.

Rudius stared wide-eyed at the father and daughter.

This isn't a proper class at all.

"Well—well, I heard that Uncle Philip is in charge of teaching Miss history, so I wanted to come and listen," Rudeus replied honestly, feeling like he'd been tricked.

"I see," Philip thought for a moment and then continued, "Rudius's family also has some storybooks, right?"

"

"Yes, my father told me the story of 'The Three Musketeers and the Labyrinth' when I was a child, and we also have a copy of 'The Legend of Percius' at home," Rudius added.

"What?! I've heard those two stories before!" Alice immediately complained.

The enormous sound echoed through the library, causing Rudius to give a wry smile. Could it be that Philip's squinty eyes were caused by the loud noise?

It seems that there is still a long way to go in educating the young lady, and her communication skills need to be further improved.

Rudius squinted and added, "But those were stories I heard when I was very young; I've almost completely forgotten them now."

"But I've heard it so many times!" Alice retorted immediately.

Philip looked at the two of them with amusement, picked up the black tea that the butler had poured, swirled the teacup, and didn't say a word.

Rudius looked at Philip, who smiled and gestured for Rudius to have some tea.

So Rudius had no choice but to pick up his teacup—anything to buy him even a little bit of time.

Rudius slowly sipped his black tea, then looked at Alice, who was staring at him expectantly, and said, "May I ask you, young lady, to tell me the legend of Percius?"

"What!?" Alice's eyes widened upon hearing Rudeus's suggestion.

Philip immediately clapped his hands and said, "That's a great idea. I'd love to hear Alice tell a story too."

With her father's approval, Alice straightened her back, her cheeks flushed, and said to Rudeus, "Then I'll kindly tell you!"

"Thank you for your help." Rudius immediately adopted a listening posture.

I don't know if I'm taking a more mentoring stance or just going along with a father trying to please his daughter.

"Percius is one of the three heroes who defeated the demon Laplace!" Alice succinctly stated Percius's achievements.

"Percius is said to be extremely powerful!"

"He has twelve powerful servants! They are—" Alice frowned as she spoke, clearly hesitant.

Philip, unhurriedly, said: "Emptiness, darkness, radiance, fluctuation, life, great earthquake, time, thunder, destruction, insight, madness, atonement."

"That's right! It's them!" Alice affirmed, then continued triumphantly, "Percius led his servants and used the aerial fortress to storm Laplace's base!"

Alice's explanation was incoherent, but Rudius could roughly understand it.

Philip offered some supplementary information, helping Alice continue telling the story.

The book "The Legend of Percius" tells the story of Percius, the Ankylosaurus.

No one knows where he was born or where the sky is.

Perkius first appeared in the records when he came to the Adventurers' Guild under the guidance of the young and unknown dragon god Ulpe.

Percius gradually rose to prominence, forming a team with the dragon god Ulpe, the northern god Kalman, and the two emperors Migs and Grimius, among others, and defeated numerous enemies.

Perhaps because he followed the dragon god Ulpe, people unknowingly began to call Percius "Armored Dragon," one of the five dragon generals under the dragon god in ancient legends.

During the Battle of Laplace, Percius used his mastery of summoning magic to summon twelve familiars, who were also his twelve servants.

He also revived the ancient aerial fortress and fought a final battle against Laplace.

However, Laplace was not completely destroyed in the battle, and in the end, it could only be sealed away.

From then on, Percyus's achievements and power were celebrated, and people began to call him the "Ankylosaurus King".

To commemorate his achievements, the Kingdom of Asura also announced a new era name at the end of the war—[

Jialong Calendar.

Incidentally, Rudeus was born in Ankylion year 407, while the current world is in Ankylion year 414.

Afterwards, Percyus, the Ankylosaurus, did not rule the world, but instead chose to control the aerial fortresses and patrol the skies around the world.

Rudius didn't know how to categorize this story.

Because Percius, the Ankylosaurus, was indeed still alive, and Rudius had also seen the aerial fortress float across the sky.

This is a person who has lived for at least four hundred years.

Is it history? Or a heroic tale?

This is what the world of jobless reincarnation is like.

After the short story was finished, Alice was radiant with health and her eyes were sparkling, as if she herself had participated in a great adventure.

Philip stood up, walked over to Alice, stroked her head, and praised her, "Well said, Alice."

Alice squinted her eyes like a contented kitten as her father stroked her head.

Rudius clapped his hands lightly, praising, "Young lady, you spoke very well!"

"Rudeus!" As soon as Philip lowered his hand, a confident Alice called out to Rudeus, "If you ever have a story you haven't heard before, feel free to come find me!"

Upon hearing this, Rudeus couldn't help but laugh out loud, but Alice couldn't figure out what he was laughing about.

This wasn't just a fish taking the bait; it was a fish jumping ashore and being cooked by Rudius.

"What are you laughing at?" Alice asked Rudeus.

"It's nothing," Rudeus said, his heart skipping a beat, his smile fading. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Alice."

"Alright," Philip, who had been standing to the side, walked back to his seat and said, "I should get back to work. You guys go have some fun somewhere else."

"Alright," Alice stood up and said to Rudeus, "Rudeus, let's go."

""

"Oh, right," Philip added, "Rudius, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

"What! Can't I hear that?" Alice shouted immediately upon hearing this.

Philip said unhurriedly, "It's some work-related stuff. Doesn't Alice dislike hearing about these things?"

Have you changed your mind?

"Hmph! Fine, I won't listen then!" With that, Alice ran out of the library.

Watching Alice run off with a smile, Philip teased Rudeus, "Oh dear, I was about to think my lovely daughter was going to be tricked, but it seems you still have a lot to learn, Rudeus."

"Not at all," Rudius said with an awkward smile, "I just felt that as a teacher, I shouldn't let the young lady find me annoying."

Philip probably thinks he's picking up girls—it must be Paul's fault!

"I heard that Alice can already buy things on her own. You're doing a great job," Philip praised.

Rudius wasn't good at handling compliments, and as a child, there was no need for him to act too mature.

Rudius replied shyly, "I'm alright."

"However, I don't recommend that you take Alice out often," Philip said, changing the subject.

"Hmm? Is there a problem?" Rudeus asked humbly.

Philip did not answer immediately, but instead picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip.

"Although you are Paul's son, you haven't received any aristocratic education," Philip explained, then countered, "Do you know Alice's background?"

Rudius attempted to answer, "Is she the eldest daughter of the Greirat family, the mayor's daughter of Roya City?"

"Anything else?"

"She is a noblewoman of the Kingdom of Asura, and the granddaughter of Lord Sauros."

"That's right," Philip didn't rush to conclusion, but continued, "Then do you know what your identity is?"

"Me?" Rudeus asked, slightly surprised. "I'm just an ordinary person, aren't I?"

"You're not wrong," Philip replied with a smile. "But you do have the blood of the Greirat family flowing through your veins. Even if your father has left the family, your identity can still be used."

As he spoke, Philip slowed his pace and explained, "Besides political matters, it's also about physical matters."

"Oh." Rudius understood, but also felt like he didn't quite get it.

Rudius was taken aback. Did this mean he would be captured and used as a stud?

For Rudyus, this was truly a topic detached from reality.

Indeed, Paul was supposed to inherit the family business, and as the eldest son, he certainly met the requirements.

Rudius did not look away, but only briefly focused his attention on Thomas in the background.

Thomas remained standing at the door, expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

I thought they were talking about Alice, but it turns out they were lecturing me.

"Of course, that's mainly because of Piremont, Paul's brother. If that guy knew you existed, he would definitely make a move against you," Philip said, waving his hand.

Piremont Notos Greirat was Paul's younger brother, who succeeded him as head of the family.

"So we can't go out?" Rudius asked worriedly.

"It's not impossible. I'm quite at ease with Gilead accompanying you," Philip said, not denying it, but explaining, "It's just that there are many other nobles in the city. If you frequently travel with Alice, it could cause some unnecessary trouble."

"So you mean reduce the number of times you go out, and don't stay in the rich area all the time?" Rudius explained his understanding simply.

"That's right, that's good, that's much better." Philip said with satisfaction, "You understand very quickly."

Rudius smiled but did not reply.

"Let's stop here then, I have some work to do."

Rudius didn't leave. Instead, he looked around and asked, "Uncle Philip, may I read the books here?"

"Are you interested in the books here?" Philip asked, slightly surprised.

"Hmm, I'm somewhat interested."

"I see. Then you can take your time to look around," Philip said with a smile.

Unlike his previous smiles, this time Rudius read a hint of sharing his collection with fellow enthusiasts on Philip's face.

It's somewhat similar to the time when the orc maid was mentioned.
