Chapter XVII. Necessity
When the old witch doctor's voice fell, the great witch doctor also said,
"Well, civilization is also in the future, and in our plans, the education of little trolls has become a necessity. Under this premise, if the current warriors don't study hard, when the next batch of little trolls grows up one after another, will the tribe be fundamentally torn apart? It's just that from this point of view alone, it is quite necessary to supervise the fighters. ”
This was followed by the speech of the Chinese witch doctor,
"When it comes to knowledge, there are more and more things to learn about 'mathematics', 'geometry', 'physics', 'general knowledge', etc. The content has been increasing, but the teaching power has not kept up with the growth. If this continues, almost all of our time will be spent on the popularization of primary knowledge. Isn't this a huge waste from the point of view of the future development of the tribe? From this point of view, the literacy of the fighters must also be carried out .... At the very least, it has to be to the point where it can help us share the basic education part, so that our time can be used for more difficult things. ”
The witch doctor's speech was slightly harsh, causing the chief's face to change slightly.
If he had been in the early years, when he first became a chief, he might have had a seizure; But now, he has restrained himself well, after all, this is the truth, and it cannot be changed by saying a good word or two.
Blade Fang also frowned slightly when he heard this.
At best, the Chinese witch doctor's speech was straightforward, and there seemed to be no problem except that he did not listen; But after careful consideration, there are some clues of the 'chain of contempt' between different divisions of labor. Fortunately for now, with the total number of trolls at that point, the number of witch doctors is not enough to form a highly differentiated 'class', but it is difficult to say in the future....
As the number of witch doctors increases, even if most witch doctors don't have messy ideas, just a few witch doctors who think highly of themselves are bouncing on the table, which can create a gap between the caster trolls and the ordinary trolls.
However, there seems to be a saying in the previous life that 'when humans think, God laughs', and it must be the same for trolls. Especially the active thinking trolls like the witch doctors, I'm afraid that he didn't think in that direction, but after you mentioned it like this, it promoted his cranky thinking....
In the case that the Chinese witch doctor does not have a clear inclination, Blade Tooth is afraid that his unauthorized accusations will cause conflicts that were not originally there to appear in advance.
So.... Let's take a step at a time.... Focus on the problem at hand first.
The rest of the witch doctors, including the Chinese witch doctors themselves, did not seem to see anything wrong with this statement, so the discussion continued.
"Any additions? If not, follow this idea, sort it out and pass it on. By the way, what about you? ”
After listening to all the statements, the old witch doctor turned to Bladetooth and asked.
"I don't have anything to add on my side.... Even the ways and means have to be pondered, and this kind of thing may not be effective just for the chief to open his mouth. ”
"Let me think about it.... How can we make them realize the importance of 'knowledge'..."
The old witch doctor thought for a moment, then spoke again,
"By the way, didn't the Fanged Witch Doctor develop the 'Wind Movement', the 'Mighty Technique', and the 'Berserk Technique', Chief, have you experienced it? How about it, are you sure to hunt back an adult blade-toothed beast after blessing (Note 1)? ”
When the chief heard this, he seemed to recall the feeling of being full of power when the spell was added, and his eyes were red with excitement in an instant, and he replied excitedly,
"Yes! Absolutely! ”
"Well, it's good if you have faith. Fanged Witch Doctor, these spells work best for you, and how long do they last? ”
"I've improved the stability again, and now the 'Wind Walk' is the longest, and it can last for half a standard lamp hour (Note 2)."
"'Might' is okay, it lasts for five standard points, while 'Berserk Technique' is the most unstable, it can only exist for 1 light point (Note 3), and after the effect is degraded, there is a weak period when there are still three standard lights."
"If you're hunting alone, you don't have enough time.... In that case, chieftain, you have instructed the warriors to search for traces of the blade-toothed beasts, and tell us as soon as they find them. ”
"Understood."
Hearing that he seemed to have no chance of killing an adult blade-toothed beast alone, the glory-hungry chieftain was a little disappointed, but he accepted it.
"Thick teeth, fangs, the two witch doctors worked hard, and after getting the news, they went to catch one alive and came back."
"No problem, leave it to us."
"Ah, old witch doctor... Is this too dangerous for the two witch doctors? ”
Although the chief knew that the power of the witch doctors had changed, he did not have a real sense of the power of the magic, so he was worried.
"It's okay, you can send two teams of warriors to assist, and leave the rest to the two witch doctors. You'll have to prepare well for the next two days, and the blade-toothed beasts you've caught are still waiting to duel you.... Under the watchful eye of all the fighters. ”
The chief stood up with a 'bang', his nearly three-meter body was knotted, and there was a faint sense of oppression.
He licked his thick fangs, and two hot air currents visible to the naked eye erupted from his nostrils, and he said excitedly,
"Understood! Ha ha! Leave it to me! ”
"You reckless man is blocking the light, sit down for me."
The old witch doctor scolded with a smile and continued to instruct,
"Scatter all the half-grown children, and let them gather as many fruit and branches as they can; The soldiers have also worked hard these days, except for the exception, each team has caught more prey. ”
"Understood, but the food can't be saved...."
"It's okay, you don't have to store it for too long, just wait until the day when the bladetooth beast catches it."
"Understood, I'll go down when I turn around."
"Well, didn't Blade Fang take us to taste the taste of 'cooked food' some time ago, and it does feel more delicious than 'raw meat' (Note 4), duels, strength, glory, bonfires, and food, let the warriors and cubs experience the changes brought about by 'knowledge'!"
"This is good, this is good!"
"yes, raw meat or something... We've been eating such a thing for so many years? ”
Occasionally, Blade Tooth would close his eyes and listen quietly.
If you ignore some of the 'old words', the conversations between the witch doctors and the chiefs often give him the illusion of 'Ah, I'm still on Earth'.
However, this memory is only an occasional episode, and after all these years, the Black Forest is now his 'hometown'...
In his previous life, he was not a 'master', and the proposition of 'how to build a better hometown' was somewhat hypocritical on him, but now, Blade Tooth is one of the most 'tall' people in the tribe, and 'helping the world' has become a natural responsibility and habitual direction of thinking.
For example, now, he thinks of 'bacon' from 'delicatessen' and 'campfire'....

Note 1: Bladetooth, Medium Predator (New Standard for Trolls: Medium Predator, Predator Monster weighing more than 1 and less than 3 trolls in the prime of life; Small predators, weighing more than 1/3 and less than 1 prime troll; Miniature predator, less than 1/3 of a middle-aged troll in weight. The level of the magic core generally matches its own ecological niche. ); Although the level of the demon core is not high, the natural magic ability that is highly matched with itself, coupled with the strong physical quality, ranks in the middle and upper reaches of the Black Forest food chain; He is alert by nature, good at pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and is not easy to be rounded up.
Note 2: The standard lamp hour is a new unit of time, and the time when the standard lamp is burned out indoors is 'a standard lamp hour', and the first batch of lamps that can burn for about an hour in the previous life (with a large error) is designed and manufactured as the standard by using its own 'feeling' as the standard.
Note 3: Since the trolls themselves do not have the habit of accurate timekeeping, Bladetooth rudely used the base 60 system to design the concept of standard time and standard minutes, and introduced the formula of '60 standard minutes = 4 quarters of an hour = 2 standard hours and a half hours = 1 standard hour'.
Note 4: The tribe did not have the concept of 'raw food and cooked food', but with the advent of the first skewer of barbecue, this distinction was also introduced by the blade teeth. Also, while eating cooked food once in a while doesn't have an effect, does eating cooked food for a long time affect trolls? It's not yet known. The experience of past lives is not reliable in this regard.
