Chapter 211 The Mysterious Book
What other questions are there...?
Ziyi and Zian both stared at the ceiling, deep in thought.
"It seems like there are quite a few problems..."
Zi Yi continued to think before speaking.
"Yes. There are so many people to manage, and our tribesmen aren't enough. If we let all the tribesmen manage them, there won't be many people left in the tribe."
If the practice of having eighteen clansmen manage one manor were still followed, then the fourteen manors, including Baron Stern's territory and the two knightly territories under Stern, would divide up a significant portion of their population.
But the tribe still needs to build a city.
"Um."
Zi'an nodded.
"There are too many people, and we don't have much time left."
Li Mosi calculated that they had thirty days left.
But if you take away the ten days needed for the stone bricks to dry, then it only takes twenty days.
"That's right."
Zi Yi glanced at Zi An, then turned to look at Li Mosi.
"If we were to build trust and manage the operations in teams as we did with the three manors, it would take a lot of time to manage these dozen or so manors, and we wouldn't have been able to manage the original three manors well either."
They haven't taught them the new house-building methods yet!
Isn't this all a matter of people and time?
The saintess wondered if she had missed something.
She wasn't asleep either?
Why are we suddenly going into detail about a particular topic?
Seeing that his two disciples had started talking in circles about general matters, Li Mosi stood up.
"Let's take inventory of the warehouse first."
It's time to finish what we haven't done yet, and also give our two disciples a little pep talk.
What could be more exciting than taking stock of your achievements?
Ziyi and Zian's eyes lit up immediately.
"Oh, right!"
Zi'an jumped up.
"That Tritan only mentioned taxes, but didn't say how much stuff was in the warehouse."
That's the source of their confidence in managing their territory!
Zi Yi jumped down from the main seat and began to guess.
"Hmm, it should be more than the amount of tax revenue."
"That's for sure, after all, they have the savings from previous years."
Li Mosi confirmed Zi Yi's idea, reached out and took out the key to Baron Stern's estate, and walked straight down the stairs.
He had already checked the map; the entrance to the underground warehouse was right here.
Suddenly, he felt his clothes being tugged.
"etc!"
Li Mosi turned his head and saw Haji Saint tugging at the corner of his clothes.
"We haven't finished looking at the things in the study yet! That iron chest you just opened must be Baron Stern's chest for storing valuables. Aren't you curious what else is inside besides the map?"
She's figured out how to verify the craftsman's identity!
"Is that so?"
Zi Yi looked at Li Mosi.
He just thought the iron box was pretty impressive, and the map inside was pretty impressive too, although it wasn't as impressive as the one his master had drawn.
But thinking about it this way, there must be something good in such a nice box, right?
Zi'an blinked.
Yes, they were so engrossed in listening to Tritan recite the tax names after being interrupted that they completely forgot they hadn't finished reading.
Li Mosi didn't care.
Because there was clearly nothing useful there.
There are still quite a few things that are of value.
However, the original owner had not learned the local language. He had a Chinese language pack that he could install for his two disciples. The things in the study were valuable, but no one had any use for them.
However, seeing the curious looks in her two disciples' eyes, Li Mosi decided to show them the world.
"Let's finish looking at the study first."
Who knows, this place might be turned into a tourist attraction in the future?
Great!
The saintess clenched her fist excitedly when he agreed.
As she went upstairs, she walked directly in front of the three of them.
"You guys probably haven't seen appointment documents? Let me tell you, the appointment documents from the Papacy are really well-made, even those for barons. The appointment documents for nobles aren't that nice. They're more like business contracts."
"The Vatican's contracts are written on the finest parchment! It's as white as ivory! You don't know what ivory is, do you? It's a very, very large..."
Why is Haki Saint suddenly so excited?
Li Mosi frowned.
He didn't even need to open the Leshan Water to know what Haji Saint was plotting.
There is an old saying in Okinawa: "When a child is quiet, he must be up to no good."
Hagi Saint never hides his mischief.
However, he was also curious about what Haki Saint wanted to do.
Did she think of a way to restore her strength?
When I entered the study again, it was already dawn.
As Zi Yi passed by the bookshelf, she casually picked up a book that was placed at the bottom.
The book was as big as his head and about two fingers thick.
He could tell at a glance that the book was made of leather.
Wow, so rich...
Zi Yi couldn't help but sigh.
But when he thought about the situation of his people, he felt it was too wasteful.
Wouldn't it be great for making clothes?
Neither its practicality nor its beauty can compare to my teacher's "paper".
He looked at it; the book's surface was somewhat yellowed, there were no words on it, and there was a button on the side.
Zi Yi casually shook it twice, and the button was opened.
wow-
The parchment pages suddenly fell apart.
He gripped the spine of the book, turned the pages upwards, and saw the crooked symbols appear before his eyes.
He gripped the spine of the book, turned the pages upwards, and saw the crooked symbols appear before his eyes.
Zi Yi frowned.
Why are all the words in this book like pinyin, but not as regular as pinyin?
And there were also many rabbits and snails carrying weapons?
Strange.
Suddenly, a shadow fell over him.
Zi'an also came over.
"Why do the words on this look like insects? And what about the drawings... rabbit-man and insect-man?"
They weren't as good as what their teachers taught them.
Is this the writing system of the nobility?
What are you saying!
The saintess had just walked behind the desk when she heard Zi'an's words and frowned, looking up at her.
Li Mosi took two steps past Hagi Saint and squatted down to take everything out of the iron box.
Hearing the noise, the saintess instinctively turned her head, her eyebrows instantly furrowing.
Yes! Yes!
That's it!
Li Mosi placed the contents of the iron box on the desk and began to examine them one by one.
There's really not much to see.
A few letters, a small bag of gold and silver coins, a seal engraved with the coat of arms of the Baron Stern family, and two rolls of parchment.
Gone.
that's it.
Li Mosi opened the letter and read it.
Although he was illiterate, he could tell that it was a letter.
He didn't recognize the text on it, including the sealing wax emblem at the seal.
These coats of arms include those with giant eagles, those with towers, and those with iron pickaxes.
He placed the letter away from Hachiman and then prepared to pick up two rolls of parchment.
But as soon as Li Mosi turned her head, she saw that Hagi Saint had already reached for the roll of parchment that was as white as ivory.
He caught a glimpse of the smile on Hagi Saint's face out of the corner of his eye.
He quickly reached out to grab it.
But as soon as Hagi Saint's hand touched the parchment, he recoiled as if by a spring, and his face instantly contorted in pain.
"Ah! Ah. Ah, hiss hiss hiss..."
Hearing Hagi's scream, the three of them looked over.
Her eyes were tightly closed, her teeth were clenched, and her face was flushed as she clenched her fists.
Li Mosi looked at the roll of white ivory parchment.
In the middle of the parchment, there is a separate band, and at the center of the band is a round disc that looks like it is made of lead.
The round cake was about four centimeters in diameter. On the front was the familiar simple drawing of the sun, and on the side was a circle of words he didn't recognize.
This roll of parchment isn't very big, but it's of good quality.
"Ah~ why... hiss~ whew whew whew."
Seeing Hagi Saint blow on his palm as if he had been burned, Li Moss carefully touched the parchment with the back of his hand.
What's going on?
He didn't feel anything at all?
With a puzzled look, Li Mosi reached out and pulled off the strap.
Yes! Yes!
The saintess, who had just been crying out in pain, stared at him, her breathing becoming heavy.
The appointment documents of the Papacy are all produced by the Papacy State and are accompanied by the blessing of the God of Light!
Even if one is tainted by a trace of heresy, even if one has a slight affinity for heresy, blessings will be inspired!
Then she watched as Li Mosi ripped off the straps.
The parchment was opened, but nothing happened.
Li Mosi was starting to lose her composure.
That's it?
This is the wondrous and magical script that Haki Saint wanted to display?
