Obviously, there are people in front of him who are almost forty, but when he learns seriously, people always subconsciously ignore his age.

"Are you learning to read now?" Jiang Bai couldn't help asking.

Maybe Jiang Bai didn't show any hostility, or maybe the boss of this mercenary group knew that he couldn't beat it, so he chatted with Jiang Bai so directly.

"It's not going to school, it's just rote memorization. I'm getting older, and my memory is poor.

"It's a pity that when I was young, I didn't understand the importance of knowledge, and no one was willing to hand it over to me, and I didn't know much words, and when I remembered to learn it, it was almost my current age......"

"It's never too late to pursue knowledge."

"You're right." The mercenary boss nodded in agreement, and seemed to approve of the young man in front of him at once.

"My name is Aite, the boss of the Sand Wolf Mercenary Regiment."

Jiang Bai really didn't expect this to be this development, he dispersed the elemental power to control the younger brothers under Aite, and introduced himself.

"My name is Jiang Bai, and over there is my hall master Hu Tao."

"Brother Jiang Bai, it's wrong for me to rob you. We will continue to punish whatever you want. If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. ”

The atmosphere was less tense, and Jiang Bai was willing to communicate with them.

"It's not that exaggerated. How did you know I had a box? ”

"See. This box is indeed ours, to be exact. Last year, we robbed a caravan and got a few boxes of antiques from it, only to be attacked by mushrooms, and one of the boxes fell into the lake and never found them. ”

Aite didn't mean to hide it, it was impossible to be clean in their hands.

It was originally robbed, and there is nothing to hide.

“…… It's really honest. Jiang Bai was in a complicated mood.

The other party is so honest, but he doesn't know how to do it.

It's a lesson, it's been a lesson, and there's no point in teaching another lesson.

Let's put it on, it seems a little sloppy.

As for handing it over to the rangers, God knows where the rangers are.

"Do you make a living by robbing?"

"Pretty much, with occasional commissions. However, I don't know much literacy, and I often have to sign contracts when I receive commissions, and I have been cheated several times...... What, do you have a commission that you would like to entrust us? ”

Jiang Bai's gaze swept over the few people who were standing honestly behind Aite, at a loss.

The eight men were men and women, the younger ones were in their early teens, and the older ones were in their mid-30s.

"That's all the people of your Sand Wolf Mercenary Regiment?"

"Hmm. It's all here. ”

With him, there are nine people in total, and it's a very small mercenary group.

"How do you rob in general?"

Jiang Bai had to make a good estimate of what to do with these people.

"That's it. According to the rules, when we encounter a caravan, we only rob a tenth of the cargo, and if you say personally, we will leave them a little money to go home. ”

"You're going to keep robbing like this?"

"Or else? What else can we do? Aite asked rhetorically.

They are just a small mercenary group, and the strongest is him, the leader. The number of people is small, and most of the people in the regiment have little knowledge. Take the commission, the good ones will not be their turn.

Danger, they don't have the strength to deal with it.

It's just that I can't go up and down, and I make a living by robbery.

Moreover, it is difficult to rob a caravan.

Ordinary large caravans are equipped with a lot of security, and they really can't handle it.

The goods of the small caravan bar are of little value, and sometimes they have to deal with dangers from their peers.

This is why they attach so much importance to the box that Jiang Bai fished up.

It was a rare piece of valuables they had ever looted, and they lost a box and searched the lake many times but couldn't find it.

"The Akademiya is now in power with the Little Auspicious Grass King in charge, and she treats the people of the desert equally, so you can also go to the Akademiya to study."

"That's an easy way to say that. The Akademiya doesn't want those of us who don't know a few words. ”

There is a serious chain of contempt throughout Sumeru.

The scholars of the Akademiya looked down on ordinary people, and even more so on desert people.

It is not surprising that those students from the desert will be ostracized and isolated in the Akademiya, and it will be difficult for them to climb up.

It is really rare for a person like Cyno to be born in the desert to become the Grand Wind Judge of the Akademiya.

Even if the little auspicious grass king treats the name of sand equally, what about it? They couldn't even get through the gates of the Akademiya.

"Sumeru's education development has a long way to go......," Jiang Bai sighed.

"That's an interesting word, can you translate it for me?" Aite once again showed his desire to learn.

"It means that the responsibility is heavy and the road is long."

If he had the chance, Jiang Bai was going to talk to Nahida about the education of the desert people.

Regardless of the advanced knowledge, everyone should have the foundation of literacy.

"That's it, I don't say I'm going to kill or chop, you will be our bodyguards during this time."

Jiang Bai still planned to punish them a little in the end. Otherwise, anyone can rob him casually in the future.

"Are you sure you need our protection?" Aite raised his eyebrows, surprised that he would make such a choice.

These two people don't need their protection at all!

"We were planning to travel all the way to the desert and needed some guides who were familiar with the desert. During this time, we can also teach you how to read and write......"

"Okay, I promised, the Sand Wolf Mercenary Group will protect your safety."

Suddenly, there was a pair of bodyguards, Hu Tao adapted well, and if he was not familiar with life, he should be a tour guide.

Hu Tao gave Aite a dictionary of the Teyvat lingua franca.

Although it is a very common dictionary, it is very valuable in Sumeru, which is very valuable in books.

Aite had to wash his hands every day and carefully put the books on his knees, for fear of tarnishing the sacred knowledge.

Hu Tao and Jiang Bai stayed in the water and sky jungle for two days, so that Hu Tao was addicted to the tree house.

The tall giant tree is like a natural platform on which you can look down on the entire forest.

By the way, Jiang Bai responded to Lannaluo's request, and cleaned up a lot of mushroom beasts in the Shuitian Jungle with his bodyguards.

As for repairing the Faruna, I'll leave it to some blonde traveler.

Jiang Bai, who continued to set off, followed the direction pointed by the Quartet Jingyi and came to Huan Nalana in the past.

"Where is this?"

Looking at the area in front of him that exuded a withered and ominous aura, Jiang Bai frowned.

Aite flipped through the homemade map of Sumeru and confirmed the location.

"It's called Huan Na Lanna, to be precise, it's called Huan Na Lanna of the past."

"What has happened here? Why does it feel so dangerous inside? ”

"Although this place is connected to the desert, most of the sand people will not choose to come from this side, and there are many dangerous monsters gathered here......"
