After a day of study, Rurik could easily remember any Ron letters that were similar to the modern Roman letters he knew.
It is impossible to learn the remaining letters in a short time, but this does not trouble him.
It was already quite late. After all, Villa was an old man. To live to such an age in the current era was simply a miracle of life.
Villa was delighted that Rurik was indeed the best hope of the tribe, and his desire to learn moved people to tears.
"That's it! Rurik, mastering these words cannot be completed in one day. You go back and have a good rest, and we will continue tomorrow."
"Okay." Rurik asked weakly: "Grandma Priest, how about you let me take the board away. I want to study again when I get home. You know, my father and many people from the tribe I have set out to hunt in the afternoon, and no one told me stories during the long night. I am very bored. I want to light an oil lamp. It is best to study under the light."
"Oh? Really?" Welia thought Zi'er's words were incredible. It is simply a miracle that the tribal boys would take the initiative to learn the knowledge on the wooden board!
She laughed happily, and then ordered her subordinates: "Bona, go and get a small jar of grease."
"Grease?" Rurik asked curiously.
"It's just for you. If you are willing, you can light the oil lamp at night and continue to study by yourself." After saying that, Vilia handed the board to Rurik's hand, "When you go back, you can find some sand and pound it with a wooden stick. , practice writing letters.”
"Yes, I will. But before that..." Rurik asked weakly, "Give me a knife if you want to make some marks on the board."
"What?" Vilia was shocked, "Do you want to carve such a wooden board? My child, I advise you not to be naughty."
After all, Rurik is still a seven-year-old child. Although he has the oracle of "Odin's blessing", Vilia knows that he announced the so-called oracle first, but in Vilia's heart, the seemingly calm Liuli There must be a naughty soul in Ke's heart. Any little boy, shouldn't he be naughty?
She emphasized in particular: "Child, this board is very precious, you must cherish it."
"Really?" Rurik chuckled, "But just now I saw you carefully wiped off the dust on it. The board has indeed not been used for a long time. It must be the same for other boards. It is indeed precious. If no one Use, what is its value? This wooden board is meant to be used. Since I am the only one in the entire tribe who loves learning, please give it to me. As long as I learn the content well, its value will be reflected."
When Wei Liya thought about it, there was nothing wrong with the child's logic.
Maybe Rurik did have some special ideas. She asked specifically: "What do you want to carve on the wood with a knife?"
"It's some auxiliary annotations that let me know how to pronounce each letter."
"Oh? What a smart decision." Vilia didn't think much for the time being. She handed the knife over and watched Rurik tilt his head and concentrate on carving something.
But suddenly an extremely strange thought filled Vilia's aging brain, and she suddenly realized one thing - how should Rurik mark the pronunciation of letters? !
This is simply unbelievable. Vilia thought for a while. She couldn't see clearly what Rurik was carving. After all, he was not carving something complicated.
Not surprisingly, the child had to invent some symbols and explain the pronunciation of the rune letters.
Vilia suppressed the urgency in her heart and said: "Child, be careful of the tip of the knife stabbing your hand. Carve slowly, and when you are done, let me see what you carved. After that, I will give it to you. Polish the wooden boards again.”
"Okay Grandma Priest."
After saying that, Rurik lowered his head and slowly carved with an iron dagger.
In fact, in Rurik's opinion, the most efficient way to mark the pronunciation of another text in some way is to use Roman letters.
Perhaps it is a bit biased to think this way, but it cannot be denied that after the destruction of Rome, her writing system was at least inherited by the barbarian countries, and the Roman script was modified to facilitate their own use.
In ninth-century Britain, the various Saxon countries, which were in a mess, had just begun to face large-scale invasions from their relatives in Northern Europe, namely the Danes and Norwegians. They absolutely could not imagine that the eventual unified British state would sail across the world in a thousand years so that its own language could become the so-called "world language".
The ancient Roman alphabet was different from what it was a thousand years later. Britain made the most profound transformation of it, changing it into the most universal alphabet system in the world.
It is so universal that thousands of years later, many countries have their own native alphabet, but for the convenience of international use, they still come up with a method of transliterating Roman letters.
For example, the text of Belarus has two sets, the Cyrillic version and the Roman version, and both are completely interchangeable.
Old Norse is also a branch of the Germanic language, so the British Saxon dialect of the ancient Germanic language that constitutes the main body of modern English has huge similarities with Old Norse.
Rurik used oak boards to carve out the modern English letters corresponding to each rune letter thousands of years later, which are the so-called modern Roman letters.
His carving ability is limited, at least the words he carved are clearly visible.
He was so engrossed in carving that he didn't even notice Vilia's intense attention. It's just that the light of the oil lamp in the room is dim, and Vilia's eyesight has become worse due to aging. She doesn't know what kind of marks the child carved.
Wei Liya was looking forward to it in her heart. In order to ensure her serious identity, the excitement in her heart was firmly suppressed at this moment.
When the last letter was marked, Rurik took a deep breath and blew the tiniest sawdust off the board.
"Grandma Priest, I'm done. In this way, I can understand these marks. I can assure you now that if you give me some other wooden boards, I can read the contents of those wooden boards through the letter boards in my hand, and obtain The information in it.”
"Oh? Really?" Vilia was still very eager after all. She stretched out her right hand, "Quick! Let me see what you have done."
"OK."
Rurik didn't think much about it, because he always believed that the various knowledge he had gained in another dimension as Liu Li was unique in Roseburg at the end of the world. Even the priest who is known as a wise man does not know even one percent of his knowledge.
Rurik was not one to keep a low profile, and he acted smarter. If you tell people around you something that is too advanced, they will basically not be able to understand or resonate with you, and will only think it is children's nonsense.
After all, he is only seven years old, how much can a child do?
Perhaps, only by showing one's own style in the martial arts competitions between children can the majority of the tribe completely feel that "this child has a bright future."
