Those who have the ability but do not show off are called modest, and those who are not able to show off can only be called weak-hearted. Shen Yan just wanted to use Chiguoguo's slap in the face to tell them that I am low-key not because of my weak heart, but because I am educated and humble!

The purpose of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is to eat a tiger in the end, and if you keep pretending to be a pig, you must be a pig.

Shen Yan put the sword into the sheath like this, and the impression before and after it was already a world of difference, and the opposite side was even more stupid. Standing in front of Shen Yan, I only felt that my hands and feet were redundant, and it was not appropriate to place them.

Now that we have universal compulsory education, we may not have much feeling for scholars, and now it is a curse to say that "your whole family is intellectuals". But in ancient times, it was really more important to have knowledge than to have money. And the more illiterate people are, the more they blindly worship the knowledgeable. In ancient times, the first talent was able to fool a group of peasants to help him rebel. What's more, there is a difference between ancient and modern - don't listen to those people boasting about how good and awesome ancient times were - those champions who wrote Baguwen in ancient times are not as valuable as graduates of a modern comprehensive university.

Why did those who traveled to the Tang and Song dynasties all have an attitude of half-selling and half-giving, and throwing knowledge out casually?

According to the ideas of ordinary people, it would be nice to turn all my knowledge beyond the times into a commodity monopoly on the whole world! You see that the money is all in my pocket, the beauties are all mine, and the best emperor is also me, isn't it beautiful. However, that is impossible, from a scientific point of view - if you can really travel through the Tang Dynasty, then adding the gross domestic product of the Tang Dynasty and even the whole world together cannot buy the knowledge in the brain of a college student. So what if you don't send it? There is simply no wealth in the world where this knowledge can be exchanged for equal value.

I have to give money to sell it, that is to use my neck to test whether Li Shimin's knife is sharp or not.

Shen Yan didn't know the education situation in this world today, but according to his observations, the total number of words known by the two hundred or so people in the entire convoy may not be as large as theirs, and it is a bit ridiculous to talk about education.

However, what Shen Yan didn't understand was that the real situation in this world was even more serious than he imagined.

The knowledge of this world is all in the hands of the state and the traditional aristocracy, and the common people have no access to it. Among the subhuman races, elves and dwarves control almost all knowledge, and lizardmen have a little, and knowledge is also strictly forbidden to drain. Those apprentices who study with magicians and alchemists may be the only civilians who have access to knowledge. These apprentices have a small chance of becoming magicians, but they can become advisors in the future, even if they have little success in magic...... No, it's the sage.

Then they set foot in the court, and finally they were absorbed into the circle of nobility, and that's it—the spread of knowledge was closed again here. Of all these races, the most open to knowledge are the lizardfolk who have the least knowledge.

By the way, there are books.

In the world outside the cartography room, the number of surviving books is very small, of which useless chivalric novels and lace literature account for more than half of the number. Most of the remaining books still take a lot of effort to read, because you may not believe it - the world outside the cartography room, the power of words that try to explain and record the rules! The deeper the narrative, the more powerful it is! A spellbook made by a legendary mage can multiply your strength.

Knowledge is power, no longer a slogan.

Because in a world where there are mysterious forces, thinking is also a kind of meditation, and the study of rules is the same kind of person who studies magic and theology. Newton will definitely become a legendary mage in this world, and he will become a god of classical mechanics; Albert Einstein was even more remarkable, he could not have become a killer of the gods, because he had reconnected the rules of separation. Studying mathematics is worse than physics, after all, mathematics is a tool, and legends are capped...... This is the sacred kingdom of science!

As for those who engage in humanities, music, painting, and writing novels are still scum in the other world5 - even if they change their name to Reslin, it's useless.

Of course, all of the above is the ultimate fantasy - because the basic rules of the world are different from the world, it is impossible to apply them directly. Besides, the intellectual property of the cartography room does not belong to the United States or the Eagle Country, it is the property of the Great God of Io!

It is precisely because Io has erased the power of words that the cartography room has become a unique world of pure theory, and thus such a wealth of theoretical knowledge has been born.

It is also because words have no magic that the rules in the cartography world are very different from those in the outside world, and only Io himself can truly understand the key. All of this knowledge is the lovely building blocks of Io Great, and they are the materials from which he builds the world. If others use this knowledge to pretend to be okay (such as Shen Yan), if they try to use this knowledge to seal the gods, then they really don't know how the shit is leaked, Ai Ou teaches the shit to be the most awesome god in minutes!

Well, after saying so much, in fact, Shen Yan didn't say a word after that, and at this time, not saying it was more powerful than speaking.

Milton departed with the men in disgrace.

On the way, Milton sneered at the tiger and told him to get out on patrol - well, he was already a good leader in terms of throwing the pot. After all the irrelevant people left, leaving only the silent Omar and the unknown Catherine, Milton said to Catherine half-complainingly, "I said that the food distribution is getting more and more appropriate, it turns out that Shen is helping you...... Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

As a leader, he certainly doesn't care who takes more and less bites. But he'll care if anyone is hungry, if food is wasted, and if there's enough – Catherine used to manage logistics in a mess! Just because the change of person is like this, everyone pinched their noses and endured it, and lived one day at a time. But recently, as food distribution has become more efficient, waste has decreased, and even a hunt has been organized to replenish the meat, as Catherine advised, the situation has improved dramatically!

Milton was very pleased with this. So much happened, Milton thought that Catherine had finally grown up, but who knew that it was Shen Yan who was behind her to help. But that's not the point......

"I want to learn first and then tell everyone, not to take the credit for him." Catherine explained with some embarrassment - the crux of the matter is here, Catherine didn't realize the true value of Shen Yan at all! She didn't realize how important Shen Yan's writing and drawing things were in the notebook! That's why Milton and these people are making such a big oolong!

"Come on, I don't blame you...... Catherine, you go and arrange to change that car to the middle of the line...... Just give them a good car! Then go and prepare some delicious ...... Send whatever you want! Alas, I'll discuss the rest with Omar. But after sending Catherine away, the two men looked at each other, not knowing what to say. There was a large piece of gold, but it was almost thrown as a stone. In the end, although it was not thrown, Kaneko got angry and looked like he was about to blow himself up.

That's how Milton feels, and when you ask me what to do, I'm desperate.

"Omar, or you're ......"

"Milton," Lizard Ranger raised his hand solemnly, stopping him from continuing. "I'm waiting for you here, just to tell you what I thought...... If Shen Yan and the dying man are driven away by you, I will also leave with me, this is my decision! And there's no next time for this kind of thing, that's it. After saying that, Ozmatt turned around angrily and left! I actually think that I will give up my persistence for the sake of the "big picture" - who gave you the illusion?

Lao Tzu has rebelled!

"Omar! Omar~! I'm grass, who am I recruiting to provoke me?! Milton, who was embarrassed again, only felt a hot pain on his face, and he wanted to be a tiger villain and step on it a hundred times. Why did I listen to that kid's stupid words when I stepped on the horse...... "He actually understands who to blame, but he always has to save some face for himself, and it's okay for the tiger to take the blame." ", I said why Xiao Shen always scolds the tiger, he really owes scolding when he steps on a horse!"

After a while, Catherine returned with regret. He rejected them all. He also said that he didn't take money or something if he didn't have merit...... But he said that the saving grace should be repaid with spring water, he will not leave until he finds the spring, and he will teach a few smart children when he has time, but don't bother him during this time on the way. ”

"Ugh." Milton sighed.

The life-saving grace is also Omar's, and he only manages a few meals at most, or dry noodles and cakes......

"Omar doesn't tell me what math is."

*****

The convoy was not large, and Shen Yan could see Milton's entanglement clearly. He felt a little funny, Milton was really not a qualified leader - a qualified leader should not think about how to leave Shen Yan at this time, but should consider whether he could control a sage who fell from the sky with his own ability.

In fact, Penny had a question in the morning, which Shen Yan did not answer positively. "Even if the convoy really settles down and grows up, it will be a small town, will it help our dreams?" The content could be replaced with "Is it any good for us?" ”

Of course, there are benefits.

Shen Yan discovered an interesting thing when he observed, it seemed that Milton was too confident in the establishment of the village! That's interesting......

You know, when Milton made his decision, he hadn't met Omar yet. With the crooked melons and cracked dates under his command, trying to establish a village-level administrative unit is tantamount to a fool's dream. And although Milton's strength is strong, it doesn't matter if he is a rebel. But Milton was very confident, and he acted like he could still do it even without everyone, as long as I could still do it. Thinking of the guerrilla brigade they were in before, whose main duty was to loot all valuable materials in the war zone, Shen Yan seemed to have figured out something.

Milton must have stumbled upon something remarkable during the previous raid, and then secretly hid it, neither Catherine nor the tiger knew about it.

This kind of thing should be much more effective for children than adults, and the entry threshold is low, easy to popularize, and can help Milton establish a new force in a short time. This is where Milton's confidence lies in taking in orphans, building a village, and realizing his dreams along the way. This is a magical world, so it should be the recipe for some kind of magic item or alchemical potion that can strengthen the child's physical fitness. Other than that, Shen Yan couldn't think of any other possibility.

As for the purpose of catching children for evil, hehe, it's not that Shen Yan looks down on them, evil also needs to be level! Not many Dr. (PhD) can do human experiments? If it was a demon sacrifice, it should not have summoned someone from the obvious righteous camp like Omar into the team.

"Shen Yan, Xiao Yanyan?" Penny's call finally brought him back to his senses.

"What's the matter?"

“…… The person next to you has been trying to talk to you. If you ignore her, I look quite pitiful. Penny was a little speechless. She began to reflect on whether she had cut Shen Yan's perception too low? Is Perception 4 a manifestation of this - someone on the side can't hear what is talking, and Catherine doesn't respond when she lowers her collar to give him benefits? Is he sluggish or ED! No, I have to urge him to exercise tomorrow, practice perception first!

Shen Yan didn't have time to answer when he heard this, so he hurriedly turned his head.

Only then did he realize that the "dead man" actually turned his body sideways, sandwiched Shen Yan's arms between his two bare upper arms, and shook him vigorously in an attempt to wake him up. It's a pity that she is crippled, and the little strength she can use is insignificant, and she has to face the desperate mountain of slow perception.

"Stop, stop." Shen Yan hurriedly patted her, signaling that he knew. You must know that her body is now broken inside and out, and it hurts to the bone marrow when she moves! Her life is like a candle in the wind, and if she continues to shake like this, her own life will be lost first.

Feeling Shen Yan's slap, she finally stopped, gasping slightly, her face flushed with an abnormal flush. Those two hollow eye sockets, as if they were looking at Shen Yan, looked a little terrifying under the light of the silver moon. She opened her mouth and made a staccato tearing sound.

"You...... Are you going to talk to me? Noticing her unusual "spirit", Shen Yan's heart was sour, and she had a premonition that she was returning to the light.

He hurriedly leaned closer, pressed his ear to her mouth, carefully segregating the words she had squeezed out of her throat.

"Burn...... Burn the ...... I...... Target...... Soul...... Use...... That...... Fire ......"
