Chapter 113: Elder, it

The next day.

When faced with a large group of filthy children, Luo De realized that his true life in the Tanite tribe had begun.

"Time, there is still one month."

This is the time limit Luo De set for himself.

At the same time, this is also the time he agreed upon with Nafis, Kantisi, Dixiya, and them.

One month later.

No matter how his revenge progresses, they will come to the Tanite tribe to pick him up.

"Huh—"

"Let's start with the children."

"Nadixa, are you ready?"

What Luo De wants Nadixa to do now is.

It is to read minds.

When he teaches these children, Nadixa will read each of their thoughts one by one to determine which children still have value to be saved.

【At the beginning of life, human nature is good.】

This is a rare matter on which Luo De and Nadixa have reached consensus.

"Children's experience is not yet sufficient, and they are easily swayed by emotions, but this does not mean they can be disrespected or wantonly mocked and fooled."

"Setbacks and loss can indeed let them taste the flavor of reality, but they will also cause them to lose their innocent thoughts and ardent feelings."

These are Nadixa's exact words to Luo De.

In their shared understanding, that means children are born as blank slates, and everything they do is related to their upbringing environment and the education they receive.

Just like Dixiya.

Living in the darkest desert mercenary band, where everyone around is a villain with evil piled high, yet under Kuserla's education she managed to stay unstained by the mire, becoming the kind and upright person she is today.

What Luo De and Nadixa are doing now is.

It is to discern which children are still worth rescuing from the Tanite tribe's great ink vat, and which children are completely beyond saving, at which point special measures must be taken to deal with them.

First lesson.

Luo De only lectured for half an hour.

But this was still the first time he used this method to give a lecture.

When previously teaching Ke Lai, it was basically one-on-one tutoring; facing so many children to lecture was truly a first.

"This was originally the work I was supposed to do in A Ru Cun."

"As a result, the Tanite tribe got to enjoy it first."

After a simple complaint, Luo De finally said to those listless children, 'Class dismissed.'

Accompanied by the sound of wheezing.

The makeshift outdoor classroom soon had only Luo De left.

"How is it?"

While waiting for Nadixa's reply, Luo De found a cactus, tore off a large piece, peeled it, and began to chew.

The Tanite tribe did not provide him with water, so he could only use this method to moisten his throat.

Feeling a slight numbness in his mouth, Luo De couldn't help but smack his lips.

This cactus is poisonous.

However, its toxicity is very weak, it contains a lot of water, the flesh is very filling, and it can be used to quench thirst and fill the stomach.

Before, when wandering the desert, Luo De had eaten plenty of this cactus.

Back then he also had the leisure to worry about whether it was poisonous.

He was almost dying of thirst and hunger; having a bite to eat was already good.

Now, as this Eliliyesi he is not valued, his daily food and drink are insufficient.

There's nothing he can do.

Luo De could only rely on his wilderness survival knowledge to scavenge some edible things from the vegetation around the Tanite tribe.

A large piece of cactus went down his stomach.

Nadixa's answer finally came as well.

"It's regrettable that a large majority of the children have already been too deeply influenced."

This number made Nadixa feel heartbroken.

Many children came to listen to Luo De today.

There were as many as seventy or eighty.

A large majority also means that at least over fifty children have been completely assimilated by the Tanite tribe's ideology, and there is basically no way to overturn their fully formed worldview, outlook on life, and values through normal means.

This number was not unexpected for Luo De.

"This is also quite normal."

"After all, that's the environment they live in, and they also don't have a father like Kuserla; being twisted like this is unavoidable."

After saying that, Luo De stretched his bones and asked, 'I've rested, shall we continue?'

"Hmm."

Thus, without Bartel's urging, Luo De proactively contacted the surrounding guards, as if eager to go home, and began giving lessons to the second batch of children.

Luo De's course is very simple.

It is just learning to recognize characters.

But the children he teaches come in batches, one after another, and each child goes home after finishing a lesson.

A class lasts half an hour.

Besides, Luo De hardly rested; he used only a morning plus half an afternoon, and Luo De saw over three hundred children.

These were already all the minor children of the Tanite Tribe.

No.

It should be said, the children deemed worthy of education by the Tanite Tribe.

Those children with congenital illnesses or disabilities are not counted.

Excluding those children who are self-destructive and those who still cannot speak, Babier sent all the children who could receive education over, and there were still many children older than Ke Lai among them.

To be honest.

Luo De really doesn't want to teach such children.

Without Nadixa reading minds, he knows that children this big are definitely hopeless.

These children are nothing like Ke Lai.

At least Ke Lai constantly opposes the Archon's resentment, always harboring a trace of longing for light in his heart.

But these children.

Under Nadixa's mind-reading, what they think of are all killing, abuse, and those matters between men and women.

Yes, that's right.

Children this big.

Their minds are full of this stuff.

Among them, many children have already lost their virginity at a young age, and even many women captured in tribal raids are handed over to them to be toyed with after returning.

The reason is also very simple.

The matriarch said.

The younger and stronger the young man, the more he can father healthy offspring for the tribe, thus continuing the tribe's bloodline.

What shocked Luo De even more was.

The Tanite Tribe, this uncivilized desert tribe, actually knows that close relatives cannot reproduce, so they indulge in chaos but without ethical confusion, and unlike other tribes or rainforest nobles who practice close-kin breeding to preserve so-called pure bloodlines, they do not.

Furthermore, the Tanite Tribe believes that people from the rainforest region have received good education, and the bloodline they leave behind might possibly enhance the tribe's wisdom.

This is why they spare no effort in raiding the rainforest people.

"What is this?"

"Is it that long illness makes a doctor?"

Regarding this bizarre yet real fact, Luo De couldn't help but shake his head, then following Nadixa's instructions, he drove out all the hopeless children from the classroom, and clearly stated that they were not allowed to come again.

Such an action naturally provoked dissatisfaction among some troublesome children.

Education, study.

These words were originally not valued in the desert.

In the eyes of these troublesome children, their willingness to attend class is already due to Elder Babier's command; only then would they give Luo De this face.

As a result, Luo De actually didn't give them this face, wanting to drive them out, making them lose face badly in front of others.

Therefore, these children whose minds are no different from adults immediately erupted when Luo De drove them away.

They clamored noisily, blocking the open-air lecture hall's door, insisting on giving Luo De a piece of their mind.

Luo De did not get angry; he simply stayed there quietly, letting them scold him or throw stones at him.

Of course.

The course naturally could not continue.

After spending about one class period like this.

Babier came after receiving the news.

Her expression was strange; after glaring at the children who spoke rudely and moved their hands and feet, she asked Luo De: "You clearly have a Vision, why don't you resist?"

Regarding this question, Luo De retorted: "If I give them a scolding, will they listen to me? Elder Babier, if you don't want me to fulfill my promise, you should have said so earlier, so that these good-for-nothings whose minds are not on learning would come do what? Waste my time? Or waste your time?"

"."

Babier was momentarily at a loss for words.

She turned her head and glanced at the troublesome children who fell silent because of her arrival; her expression suddenly turned ugly, and she lowly shouted: "All of you get out, you embarrassing things, from now on you are not allowed to come disturb Mr. Luo De again."

The troublesome students who caused a commotion instantly scattered, and the classroom environment that had been somewhat vexing for Luo De immediately became much calmer.

Mr. Luo De, believe me, I will not tamper with the children's education.

If you encounter such a situation again in the future, just go ahead and do it boldly; you need not worry about my face.

Having said that, Babier nodded at Luo De and left with a grim expression.

It seems.

It seems she went again to find trouble with those troublesome students.

Gazing at her back, Luo De shook his head and sighed in unison with Nadixa: "What a pity."

What a pity.

Even Babier, whose thinking is so enlightened, has been assimilated by the desert; although her thoughts far surpass those desert folk who are content with the status quo and lack ambition, she still cannot break free from the desert's constraints.

After the daytime uproar, plus Babier's admonition.

Luo De's subsequent lessons were very easy.

He also easily kicked out the children Nadixa deemed hopeless from the classroom.

Just like that.

The first day's class barely managed to end successfully.

Luo De, who had lectured intensely all day, felt somewhat listless.

But he still couldn't go back to rest.

According to the agreement he had made earlier with Babi'er, after finishing the lesson he still had to go report today's situation to her.

"This damned job."

After muttering a couple of complaints, Luo De dragged his exhausted body into Babi'er's tent.

And this time.

In this tent he saw two old acquaintances.

The same.

Those two also saw Luo De.

Seeing them first show surprise, then their eyes widened in shock, they pointed at Luo De and shouted loudly: "Elder, it's him, it was him who killed our scouting team's brothers!!!"
