Chapter 1 Ashe's Capital

It had been three days since they arrived in Ai Xi's territory, and what made Li Ke a little helpless was that these three days were all celebrations, and a large part of the reason for the celebration was that their war mother finally had the idea to find a man - also

It's him.

However, what did not disappoint him was that while reporting the celebration, Ai Xi did not forget his plan. Instead, she methodically conveyed what she had said to her to her subordinates one by one, allowing the capable people to gather

, and gathering children from various tribes, allowing them to receive instruction together, began to work.

"But, is there only parchment here? And that's all?"

Li Ke looked at the parchment in front of him, which was probably only a few dozen pieces. Although he had been prepared for it, when he saw that there was not much of it, he was still filled with helplessness.

"Yes, that's all we have in stock. Although we still have some animal skins, they are not suitable for writing, so unless those Notai people come over with their houses, that's all we can use now.

"

Ai Xi nodded. She had some illusions at first, thinking that these parchments were enough. But looking at Li Ke's attitude, it was obvious that these parchments could not meet his needs.

And Li Ke didn't ask Ai Xi's tribe why they only had this bit of parchment and why they didn't kill sheep to do something like this. After all, he now understands that herds cannot be killed casually, especially when thinking about it.

To sustain development.

And he didn't think those Notai people could bring him much usable paper. After all, the stories and history of this place are basically passed down through poetry and the like. And if you really want to count, even Ashe can't.

It's elementary school culture, so they use paper, which is maps, and scrolls that record secrets.

"Well, it seems that except for some necessary situations, we can only use stones to record things that need to be memorized by rote."

He decisively gave up the idea of ​​using all these parchments to write textbooks. After all, there will be more things that need to use these parchments later, so it is better to use them sparingly before trying to get the paper back.

"Things that are memorized by rote? Are you talking about your multiplication table again? Or are you talking about that geometry that you planned to teach me but gave up on?"

Ai Xi thought of what he taught her based on his words, especially the mathematics that made her dizzy.

"That's right, mathematics is the only thing in the world that won't deceive you, because if you can't, you can't. Although people can do a lot of things that they can't do if they are anxious, mathematics is perfectly removed from them, so they

It’s the most suitable thing to be carved on stone.”

Then use it to suppress the resentment of those students.

Li Ke added in his heart, because he planned to carve the multiplication tables, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and the Pythagorean theorem all on the stone, and then put them in the town square as decorations and teaching materials. And not only that, he

I plan to carve the calculus on a stone when I have time in the future, and put it in a place where many people can see it, to remind them all the time: 'You can't hide from the calculus'.

"Okay, but actually I'd rather put my archery skills on it..."

Ai Xi looked a little disappointed. After all, she had never experienced the feeling of recording her skills and passing them on.

"Of course, it's not too difficult, but seriously, where is the land you prepared for me?"

Li Ke put the pile of parchment beside his bed, and then asked what mattered most to him.

"That's what I came here for. Well, actually it was Keira who was going to deliver the parchment to you, but I stopped her."

Li Ke instantly remembered the enthusiastic war mother. She seemed determined to have more relations with Ai Xi, and worked hard to do many 'pious' things. But in fact, her purpose was also very simple.

In order to give her a place in future legends.

Of course, it was also to maintain her status and bloodline.

It's just that her fanaticism is really a headache.

"...Thank you very much, can you take me there?"

Li Ke thanked him sincerely, then he picked up the seed bag he had prepared and came to Ai Xi's side.

"certainly."

Ai Xi pushed open the curtain of the tent and led Li Ke to the place she had prepared. They did not ride horses, but walked on foot in this ruin-like ancient city.

This ancient city, which had been bustling for three consecutive days, had now cooled down, and Li Ke could finally see his true appearance.

Black and blue stone slabs can be seen everywhere in this ancient city, and have replaced soil as a stepping stone for people. However, due to their age or technical limitations during construction, these stone slabs have now become uneven.

, and even many of them have been completely shattered.

Next to these stone roads, there are stone houses built on the slopes. These houses are almost made of several large stones. Except for windows and doors, there are no other non-stone materials.

.

The growth traces left by the faded moss and the dust blown by the wind have left their own traces on these stone houses and roads. And the careful Li Ke also discovered that there are still many traces on the edges of these roads and houses.

There are small potholes, and these regular and irregular potholes are undoubtedly caused by the erosion of water flow.

The further he followed Ashe, the more obvious the dilapidation of this stone city became. Many stone houses had wooden roofs, and some of them were completely Freljordian, as if

It is a wooden house that looks like a boat turned upside down.

"I thought you weren't interested in this place."

Ai Xi's voice rang out when Li Ke looked at a broken stone statue. In Li Ke's senses, her voice had a crispness and beauty that was incompatible with this ancient city. Even for a moment, Li Ke felt

I feel like I'm back in my hometown, just traveling here.

"Actually, I'm quite interested, but the problem is that these days I have to drink whenever I go out, so I can only pretend that I'm not interested."

Li Ke took some snow from the broken statue, shaped it into a snowball, and answered Ai Xi.

The Freljordian banquet was really a bit bad for Li Ke, which he felt the same no matter which tribe he belonged to. Moreover, in this place, he also had to deal with Ashe's suitors.

So he didn't get to take a good look at this ancient city at all. Apart from attending the banquet with Ai Xi, he basically spent all his time thinking about problems in his tent.

So for him, this was really the first time he had seriously visited Ashe's territory.

"After seeing your land, are you interested in taking a tour together?"

Ai Xi smoothed her hair and asked Li Ke seriously. After saying this, she smiled softly and said something that made Li Ke a little embarrassed.
