Chapter V Enlightenment Education
Chapter 5 Enlightenment Education (")
Although Alex was full of troubled thoughts, a smart student like Gris was definitely what every teacher dreamed of. No matter how complicated the words were, as long as you teach and copy them, Gris could write them out without any fault when writing them dictated. This learning ability also aroused the lazy Alex's enthusiasm, teaching and learning, and the day passed without realizing it.
Looking at the manuscripts on the table, Alex couldn't help but curse, "What kind of skeleton is this?" After a day, Gris actually learned more than 240 new words.
In the next few days, Alex stopped all his work and focused on teaching Gris to recognize words. Of course, he still used the calligraphy handwritten by the director of the training as a textbook. Four days later, Gris had already written all of the nearly a thousand basic words.
"Okay, you have learned all the basic words, now I will write down the thousand-character text." Alex assigned homework.
Half an hour later, Gris handed over the homework. Looking at the beautifully stroked and rigorously structured Thousand-word text, Alex muttered again: "Yebada, it's more beautiful than what I wrote."
Alex could not remember the situation of student calligraphy when he was a child, but he still remembered it very clearly. Until he was twelve years old, he had not been able to recognize all the basic words. However, in just four days, this perverted skeleton learned all the basic words, and imitated the handwriting of the director of the training, imitating a beautiful calligraphy.
Alex, who was deeply hit, threw a sentence: "You are graduated." Then he left the laboratory without looking back.
The empty laboratory was very quiet. Gris looked at the pile of papers written on the table, and was very confused. Although he learned words, he did not understand the meaning of words. These things were learned by Alex, but what's the use of learning these things? Gris didn't know that there was no words in the world of death. He never needed to use words in his previous life.
In a daze, Gris saw the library compartment in the corner of the laboratory, with text on it.
Gris walked to the nearest bookcase and took out a book with the words "Skeleton Soldier". Gris knew all these words, but he didn't know the meaning of the combination at all. What is a skeleton? What is a skeleton soldier?
With such a question, Gris opened the pages.
Knowing words does not mean that you can understand a book. Gris can only understand some simple nouns such as cups, chairs, gold, and silver, most of which are in the laboratory. He may also understand pronouns like you, me, and him, but he doesn't know what the dwarfs and elves are in the book, because he has never seen these two creatures.
But this did not prevent Gris from reading the entire book with great enthusiasm. Although he still didn't know what was said in it after reading it.
After putting "Skeleton Soldier" back in place, Gris drew another book "Principles of Magic".
Gris read books very slowly and seriously, and they all read one word at a time, because he knew one word alone, but he didn't understand most of the meaning represented after the combination. After reading the principle of magic for a while, the door of the laboratory was opened. Alex's figure floated in and said lazily: "Gris, early." Before he knew it, a night had passed.
Looking at Gris standing in front of the bookcase holding the book, Alex waved his hand and said, "Put it back and read it tonight. Let's start our experiment today."
The main purpose of spending so much effort to teach Gris to recognize words is to cultivate a qualified assistant himself. Now that he has recognized all the words, Gris's assistant career must begin.
"Gris, take that recipe with obsidian gold on it."
"Gris, take paper and pen and copy it. Under high temperatures, obsidian gold is presented..."
"Gris, write down the experimental steps by the way, I said you remember..."
After learning to write, Gris's work scope became wider.
The day passed, and Alekger, who was so leisurely that he didn't even sweat a little, asked with concern: "Didn't you fall apart?" Then he left the laboratory without looking back.
Fortunately, Gris is a skeleton who is not tired, otherwise he would have randomly hit his head.
After resting, Gris stood in front of the bookcase again and took out the book "Principles of Magic" that he had not finished reading.
What does element mean?
What does meditation mean?
What does magic mean?
What does skeleton mean?
Add to that book yesterday, Gris has accumulated a lot of questions in two days, but he can't speak and cannot ask Alex.
How can I speak? Gris opened and closed his jaws, and his teeth collided with a clicking sound. Finally, Gris glanced at the laboratory. When he saw the blackboard that Alex used to teach him to learn words, the light of his soul lit up in his hollow eyes.
The next day, until noon, Alex did not come to the actual room. He was the principal of the college. Although he was not very enthusiastic about administrative work, he occasionally needed to deal with government affairs. Moreover, a lazy guy like him had no important experiments before, and he would never set foot here. This time, it was entirely because of Gris.
As soon as he arrived at the laboratory, he said, "I have nothing to do today, rest." Then he floated to the balcony, and without looking back, "Gris, pour me a glass of water." He just said to rest, but he immediately started to instruct. Obviously, this "rest" is not about Gris.
Pour water onto the balcony, Alex lazily lay on the rocking chair, closing his eyes to the sun.
Because Alex said on the first day that he could not leave the laboratory without his instructions, so Gris had never been to the balcony. He lifted up thick curtains, and the dazzling sunlight suddenly shook Gris. There was never such a strong and scorching light in the world of death.
Gris lowered his head to prevent the sun from directly emitting his eyes. He paused for a while and then put his cup in the circle next to the rocking chair a few times. Then he looked at Alex and saw that he had no other instructions, he moved to the shadow beside the door to avoid direct sunlight.
"Do you hate the sun?" Alex, who had his eyes closed, seemed to feel Gris's actions, and asked without opening his eyes.
Gris nodded.
Alex, with his eyes closed, seemed to see Gris nodding, and raised his nasal tone "Hmm~" and said to himself: "It seems that the undead creature hates sunshine. That half-baked author is right, why does it mean that half-body skeletons are the weakest undead creatures?" He has not figured out these questions until now, especially Gris' outstanding performance, which makes him unable to let go.
"Go to the bookcase to bring the skeleton soldier's book, and I'll study it again." Gris's performance also aroused his interest in the undead creatures.
After taking the book over, Alex flipped it up casually, of course, his eyes opened. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gris suddenly took out a stack of paper and wrote a few words on the paper: "What is a skeleton?"
"Well~!" Alex elongated his nasal voice in surprise. Gris was a skeleton with no speaking organ. Alex had a headache about this problem, but he could not think of a solution at all, so he threw the problem behind his head. Unexpectedly, Gris would come up with this method to express his meaning. In this way, Gris had the ability to communicate with others.
What a clever skeleton... Alex had to sigh again. It was not surprising that he could come up with this method, but Gris, a skeleton who had just learned to write, could come up with this method, which would have to surprise him.
Alex didn't see any movement, but the breath on his body slightly widened, and a water mirror appeared in front of Gris.
Pointing at the Gris mirror reflected in the water mirror, Alex said: "This is the skeleton."
Gris stretched out his finger curiously and poked the water mirror. A circle of ripples suddenly appeared where the finger touched, and the portrait in the mirror also twisted.
In the Death World, Gris had seen himself with the help of the accumulated water on the ground, his empty eyes and nostrils, his bare head and his gray bones. It was no different from his companions who could be seen everywhere in the Death World.
It turns out that this is the skeleton. From today on, Gris finally gained a more vivid understanding of the word skeleton, and words can be linked to things.
After changing to another piece of paper, Gris wrote on it again: "What is a lich?" Skeletons, lichs, and undead are all nouns that appear in the book.
Alex opened the book in his hand and turned to the chapter describing the lich, pointing to the paragraph above and said: "Undead creatures with skeletons and ** and with ** consciousness are called Lich."
What is the skeleton? What is **? Gris flipped through another piece of paper and wrote on it.
Alex's eyes twitched, and he looked up and down at Gris.
There was no muscle on the skeleton's face, and there was no expression. From Gris's face, Alex felt only the tumultuousness.
From these questions, we can see that Gris didn't understand anything. He didn't even know himself a skeleton, let alone know what a lich is. This means that if Alex wants to answer all the questions, he must start with the simplest question. This is definitely a huge project.
For Alex, who was lazy, this was definitely a headache for him. It turned out that after teaching Gris, he could give him an extra capable assistant, but unexpectedly caused such trouble.
Is it okay not to teach me? Of course, he can directly order Gris to stand aside and not bother him, and then jump up and down when he needs him. But looking at Gris's wooden face, Alex finally sighed, stood up from the rocking chair, and got into the room.
