Chapter Fifty-Nine: Preparations Before Sleep
"Grab my claws, and I'll take you down with me."
After a brief acquaintance, Terrence flew with Hogg to the pit he had dug earlier.
The pit is almost hundreds of meters long, and the passage down to it is narrow, only the bottom of the pit is larger.
Before reaching the bottom, Hogg had already felt the vigorous overflowing life energy!
"This ......"
"The breath of life is so amazing!"
Arriving at the bottom, Hogg sighed.
It is indeed a half-hearted branch of the World Tree!
The life energy it emits is very beneficial even for a mid-level Hogg to stay for a long time!
"Alright, Hogg!"
"It's time to make good on the promise you made."
Terrence patted Hogg, who was a little stunned and distracted, and reminded.
"What exactly should I do?"
"Terrence, are you ready for the contract?"
"Of course not!"
Terrence's tone changed, he couldn't find this kind of contract-level good thing if he wanted to!
What's more, how can you spend money on such a thing?!
"None? Wait, you're not thinking about ....."
Hogg thought about Terrence for a while, and suddenly thought of another low-cost method, and he couldn't help but be shocked!
"Okay, okay, don't be pretentious!"
"Cut off a small part of your soul and give it to me!"
"Fish-people, and those gnolls, even old Jill have endured that level of soul pain, what are you big gnolls still grinding and chirping!"
"Hurry up! Don't waste any time! ”
Terrence was also impatient, which had already satisfied most of Hogg's requirements.
The existence of the contract certainly has its advantages, such as reducing the pain caused by this primitive method of directly cutting soul fragments!
Of course, after all, I don't have the money to get those things~
"After cutting, you can just absorb these life energy and see how it works."
Terrence said as he looked at Hogg, who had already begun to enter a meditative state.
Hogg didn't speak, and after a while, Terrence sensed a small stream of souls detached from Hogg's body, and immediately saw the opportunity to swallow it!
With that, the ten-year contract of Hogg and his tribe is complete!
Hogg came out of his meditative state, and his head was covered with sweat that had just been secreted by the sweat glands of his scalp due to intense soul pain.
This thing endured the pain and didn't say a word!
This made Terrence look up.
After leaving Hogg to rest here, Terrence left the pit.
Arriving at Camp Oldtree, Terrence inquired about the construction of the wooden house and the development of cultivated land.
The arable land was built in a thorn-resistant circle at Terrence's request, and there were special goblins to take care of the crops.
It is the prototype of what Terrence recognized as an individual smallholder economy.
"Collect more fertilizer, dead leaves, ash from burning plants, etc., these things are good natural fertilizers, and of course, your excrement......"
Old Jill takes Terrence to inspect and inspect the work in various places in the Ancient Tree Camp.
Everywhere he went, Terrence would put forward his own opinions and opinions from his own perspective and vision.
And these things are bitter, not only do you have to carry Old Gil all the way around Utu, because Old Gil's magic apprentice, Utu has also mastered the basic and commonly used continental language.
He needed to record all the advice and opinions that Terrence said, and of course many things about Terrence were extremely different in the eyes of Utu and Old Jill.
However, this does not affect Utu's record, and it should be remembered.
"Is the Jackals' hut built over here?"
Terrence arrives at the newly carved area of gnolls.
There was a lot of wood piled up here, some of which had already been cut, and more of which were logs that had not yet been cut.
"Because you just ordered it, we are still preparing the materials for the cabin."
"Well, according to my idea, instead of building one cabin after another, it would be better to build a large dormitory here."
"Dorms?"
Old Jill wondered what Terrence was saying.
"By the way, the place where everyone lives together in the future will be called a dormitory!"
"Lord Terrence, I've made a note of it."
Utu finished writing and said loudly.
"Here, build a large wooden house, square one, with wooden beds in rows, and make partition walls every seven meters with planks......"
"By the way, in the future, the goblin's residence will also try to do this, here is a wooden house in the east and a west, which is too unfavorable for daily management and notification of things!"
Terrence decided to start the change from the residence, and the change needs to start slowly, it needs to be gradual!
Food, clothing, and daily life, these things Terrence felt needed to start slowly changing little by little.
"Utu, have you written down everything I said?"
Terrence suddenly seemed to think of something.
"How many people know you like and can write the lingua franca of the mainland?"
It occurred to Terrence that these daily changes should not only be accompanied by these, but also chronic changes in the direction of culture and thought.
"Forehead ....."
This made Utu ask confused.
Utu said hesitantly.
"I only know that Wusu may have some of them, and I have to ask Old Master Jill about these."
Utu pushed the question to the more illustrative old Jill.
"Haha! Let me answer this question, Lord Terrence! ”
Old Jill took the conversation with a smile.
"Except for Utu, several other apprentices who have learned the lingua franca of the mainland have all died in that demonization incident, and the children of Utu and the Usu are also the children I picked recently, and they have just learned the continental language not long ago."
The cultural level of the goblins is worrying!
Terrence had no choice but to help his forehead, but as a goblin, it really didn't seem like he needed to learn too much "knowledge".
"For the sake of the next generation, it is also indispensable to educate the lingua franca and knowledge of the mainland!"
Terrence let out a long sigh, a little helpless.
He didn't know what the effect of his actions would be on the Goblin Boys and Gnoll Boys, but learning what they knew would surely benefit them for the rest of their lives!
"Lord Terrence! You are so wise! ”
"Education is indeed indispensable!"
Old Jill agreed with Terrence's words.
The previous patriarch, the savage Big Brother, just didn't like to follow the advice of Old Jill, especially in terms of education and knowledge, he didn't think goblins needed those things!
"Let the children learn more useful things in the evenings and rest days, such as the continental lingua franca, trap making, tool making, wilderness survival and so on!"
Rest days, as the name suggests, are days off.
With seven days a week, goblin children can rest two days a week, and adult goblins can only rest for one day.
Of course, children have a much lighter workload and never let them do too much.
The sun rises and the sun sets.
At night, some of the goblins on duty are active.
"In the evenings and on days off, we need to make more torches for lighting at night, and on days off, we need teachers with the right skills to teach them......
After listening to this, Old Jill calmly said his advice.
"Well, torches for lighting need to be made more, it's all an investment in education, and it's worth it!"
"The corresponding education teacher, I will let the kobold and the jackal come over when the time comes, I have already thought of the corresponding candidates for these courses, old Jill, you don't need to worry too much."
"And the corresponding parchment, we can replace ...... with bark, hides, etc."
Terrence said, already thinking about the development of things like papermaking.
"Of course! I absolutely believe in your eye for choosing a teacher, Lord Terrence! ”
Naturally, Old Jill was very willing to support Terrence's educational arrangements!
Educate to achieve and impact the next generation! What a forward-looking decision!
Old Jill felt that he was not following the wrong dragon!
