Chapter 57: Clarity
For the next few days, Xia Yi traveled back and forth between the Mage Academy's database and dormitory, knowing too little about the continent and only a rudimentary integration into the human realm. She needs to supplement her knowledge, otherwise she will not be able to move an inch in the human kingdom.
"Overview of Human Civilization", "Kingdom Change", "General History of the Continent", "Theory of Racial Contradictions", ...... and other books, all of which were moved back to the dormitory by Xia Yi to read, the skeleton has strong mental power, and his memory is also amazing, although he can't do it by eye, he can remember it roughly, and he has also dabbled in a lot of out-of-the-way knowledge.
The only thing to endure was the long-winded words of the book demon Bock, and after the end, Xia Yi had to glue his mouth shut.
In addition to this, Chailly has another plan.
When buying the goblin slaves, Xia Yi was going to let them eat and return to the goblin tribe because of Pipiru's relationship, but after learning the identities of Conca and the little goblins, Xia Yi had another plan.
Maybe the people of the whole continent think that the goblins are low-level subhumans and are useless, but Xia Yi has learned about the intelligence and research ability of the goblins from Pipiru, so she is not ready to let go of these goblins immediately, not to mention that they have no ability to go back.
When Shay delivered the food, he had the goblins stand together, with the mother goblin holding the goblin toddler in front of her, followed by Old Conca, and then the other goblins, who were now obedient, at least on the surface.
Tell old Conca to bathe the little goblin, the little guy hasn't bathed since he was born, but he is very cooperative, he is still very weak and timid, and then Xia Yi gave him a set of human children's clothes, and the little goblin that does not emit a foul smell is finally much more pleasing to the eye.
"You will henceforth be called Odin, Shay's slave, the son of a tribal chief."
Odin is among the myths. In ancient times, the great god worshiped by all races was in charge of the power of the sun, and all races regarded him as the origin of the world. However, among human beings, there are many people named Ou Ding, and this name is just taken by Xia Yi in passing.
The little goblin can't speak, but he can understand basic language. For him, this sentence was too complicated, so he tilted his head and his eyes showed doubt.
"Conca, in one day, I want you to teach him this. I don't care what method you use, or whether he understands it or not, I'm going to see the results tomorrow. ”
I thought about it. Xia Yi added: "Also, within a week, I want him to learn to speak, don't intercede with me, I know the goblin's ability to learn, remember, I only need the result, the process does not need to be reported to me." ”
Goblins are different from humans in that they only have a lifespan of about ten years, and they have a very short juvenile lifespan. It's only a year, so the little goblins begin to learn to walk in the second or third month after birth. Speak. Goblins are more curious about new things than humans, so they learn languages quickly.
Old Conca wanted to say something, but he snorted, and finally just said, "Yes, master." It's just that you know that you can't force learning a language. It's too hard for a week, and if the master is not in a hurry, within a month, I can teach Odin to speak. ”
Xia Yi didn't expect to learn in a week, but there was no oppression, but it would make them slack off, so he simply insisted on a week.
"No need to talk nonsense, old Conca, a week is the deadline."
It's that Xia Yi doesn't know how long she can stay in the human realm, maybe she will follow Mondo to the orc kingdom, or go back to the forsaken land, she has too many things to do, so she doesn't want to be delayed because of the goblin's perfunctory.
Old Conca knew that there was no negotiation, and he didn't touch Xia Yi's mold, so he honestly agreed.
"Also, Odin will be your chieftain, so you must greet him every day, speak to him at other times with honorifics, and bow before speaking to him."
The other goblins were still puzzled, and old Kongka's eyes suddenly flashed, and he was a little incredulous.
"What does the master mean that you will help Odin take the position of chief?"
Old Conca spoke very delicately, and what he wanted to ask was, in fact, will Xia Yi let them go back to the goblin tribe? But old goblins won't be so stupid.
This was also Charity's purpose, since she knew that Ou Ding was the son of the chief, she thought that maybe she could use this little goblin to gain the allegiance of a goblin tribe! Because this goblin is still young, as long as she is allowed to cultivate it and have enough influence on Odin to have a good enough influence, her loyalty will be different from that of ordinary slaves.
She thought carefully about the benefits she could gain from the goblins.
Goblins are a once extremely prosperous race, and countless alchemists have appeared, and they have used the principle of the unknown Dao to create goblin airships! Don't underestimate this invention, it proves the ability of the goblin clan, the goblin airship that allows ordinary people to soar in the sky, even in Xia Yi's opinion, sincerely admires the greatness of the goblins!
Xia Yi still doesn't know the situation of the goblins, maybe they are gone, but their essence is still there, even if they can't reproduce the goblin airship, they can do a lot of things. Come to think of it, Pipiru would be happy to lead a group of men.
The first step to do is to plant a seed in the white paper heart of the little goblin Odin, so Shay ordered Conca and taught Odin the first thing to say: "I, Odin, am Shay's slave and the son of the goblin chief." ”
Subtly, the loyalty of the little goblin will be the same as that of a fanatic believer to the god of light, and Xia Yi wants him to know that no matter who he is or how powerful he is, he will always be her slave!
Of course, Xia Yi doesn't need a cowardly and useless slave, there are more human slaves in the slave market, and the "cooked slaves" are obedient and well-behaved, eat less, and work hard, but this is not what Xia Yi wants.
Shay wants to train the little goblin to become a true chief! He has his glory, his wisdom, and his thoughts, so let him be respected by his subjects every day, and let him know his nobility, otherwise the little goblin will only be a puppet without ego.
The first step is to make him aware of the difference between himself and other goblins from his appearance, his food will be better, he will have clean clothes, instead of being ragged like other goblins, squatting down to gnaw when he picks up bones.
Conca had no idea what Shay was trying to do, and he thought that Shay would send them back and help them claim the Chieftaincy.
"In due course, I'll send you back to the Goblin Tribe, but not now."
Xia Yi herself has no power to protect herself in the human realm, and she will definitely not let them go until she is sure whether the goblins are truly loyal to her. Her strength is the premise of everything, if she wants not to be controlled by others, strength is the guarantee.
"Whether he can become a chief or not depends on Odin 's creation, and one day in the future, he will use his own strength to recapture the chieftain." Shay forgot about old Conca and said, "It depends on your cooperation......"
Old Conca's expression was awe-inspiring, and he seemed to have a new understanding of his master.
The old goblin didn't understand Shay's plan, but he saw foresight in Shay's eyes, and he was sure that Shay must be thinking about something. Among the goblins, the IQ of female goblins is generally lower than that of men, plus they are not as strong as male goblins, so they are a vulnerable group, and old Conca has to admit that Shay is the only woman he has ever seen who is afraid.
Next, Shay asks Old Conca to demonstrate his sorcery.
In Pipiru's memory, wizarding was a mysterious and important profession, and there were many things that alchemists could not do, and they had to rely on the help of wizards.
Ancient goblin wizards are skilled in many types of witchcraft. For example, the Clarity Technique, which can dispel the surrounding dust and fog, is used in the alchemist's research room to facilitate the goblin to carry out meticulous work. In addition, there are many auxiliary combat witchcraft, sluggishness, transparency, freezing, etc., and the powerful goblins can also directly affect the weather! They can summon a dark cloud that causes mist.
"Conca, show your sorcery."
The old goblin looked around and said timidly: "Master, there are no props I use here, I am not a human mage, and I can't gather elements out of thin air......"
Xia Yi is slightly interested, maybe the goblin wizard can come in handy!
"And what do you need?"
"A bowl of water!" Conca's waist straightened slightly, this was his old profession, his value, "Just a bowl of water, I can show my witchcraft!" ”
Although it was very strange, Xia Yi thought it was a unique condition for witchcraft to be cast, and brought Conca a bowl of water.
I saw that the fingers of old Conka's hands were entangled, making a strange gesture, chanting words in his mouth, shaking his head like a witch, and finally "Bah! He drank and spat in the water......
Xia Yi twitched a few times, and the old goblin grinned and brought the bowl over, and said proudly, "Master, please look!" ”
"So...... Is this your witchcraft? What can this bowl of water do? Poisoning a monster? Will it rot when poured on people? Or to heal the wounds? ”
Xia Yi glanced at the water in the bowl, which seemed to have not changed, and there was still a lump of white saliva floating on the water, which had a faint smell.
"Didn't you notice?" Old Conca exclaimed in surprise, "This bowl of water is clearer!" ”
"And then?"
As Conca said, the bowl of water was indeed clearer, and much of the sediment was adsorbed on the old goblin's saliva......
"Then you can quote it!" Old Conca craned his neck, demonstrated to himself, and drank the bowl of water with a bang.
Chailly is absolutely down.
"What kind of sorcery is this!" Xia Yi shouted, "Even if you drink water, who would dare to drink it if you spit on it!" ”
"Authentic clarity ......," the old goblin cringed, "Master, don't underestimate this witchcraft, in the wasteland, there are many poisonous swamps, you must pass the clarity technique, you can drink it, otherwise you will get sick!" ”
I wonder if the ancestors of Old Kongka would be so angry that they would use witchcraft to do something like this, and they would be so angry that they would cast a clarity spell on his mind.
This is also a helplessness, the environment in which the goblins live is much worse than that of the human kingdom, it is difficult for them to find a water source, and if they find it, they must drink it through the means of a wizard......
Shay almost staggered back to her dorm, disappointed in the goblin wizard.
That's not all that gave her a headache, the crow's mouth of the book demon Bock was very effective, and Xia Yi had just been lying on the bed when she ushered in an uninvited guest.
