There is indeed no comparison between the life of a genius and my life. Plisson sighed, closed the notes with respect, and put them back on the old bookshelf next to him.
"Colonel, have you observed any clues in these books?" Plisson glanced at Luas, who was flipping through the books next to him.
"Uh...well...no." Luas closed the book in his hand and put it back to its original position.
"How many books have you read?"
"Just that one."
"Can you tell me what's in the book?"
"It's a boring biography with nothing to mention." Facing Plisson's mention, Luas's expression changed slightly.
Pleasant walked over to Luas, took back the book she had just put back, pointed to the cover and asked again: "The secret of alchemy? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with biography."
"...biography...alchemy and stuff...that's almost it."
"Sister, can we be more honest?"
"Am I not honest?"
Pleasant pointed to his blindfold: "You only poked me once, but I can't see with my other eye."
"..." Luas was speechless for a moment.
"If Miss Colonel doesn't want to say it, then forget it. We all have our own secrets, and it's okay to hide something. After all, we were enemies for a quarter of an hour, and I don't expect us to become as close as brothers because of short-term interests. "Plisson shook it, and then he was about to open the book "The Secret of Alchemy" in his hand.
"Okay, okay, I didn't deliberately hide any useful clues from you. What I did just now was actually because...I...can't really read universal text."
"Is that why?"
"What else?"
"Isn't it just illiterate? I've seen many illiterate people, no less than you." Plissen's expression was flat and he didn't have any reaction to this.
At this time, illiteracy was very common. You must know that three years ago, he had just served as the leader of Black Crow Port. The number of illiterates accounted for almost 90% of the port. There were also many high-ranking pirates, including some captains, who were illiterate. .
Although this world has good educational resources and theoretical knowledge, not everyone can enjoy these things.
Taking the place that Pleasant is most familiar with, Norton in the Sky Eagle Empire, the only local university in Norton is Macassius College in Blue Pearl Harbor, a college sponsored by the Acting Governor Earl Macassius. Although it lasted a Although the quality of education and teaching staff is far lower than that of any ordinary university in neighboring provinces.
As for middle schools and elementary schools, not only are they few in number, but the degree of resource tilt is also very obvious. Most of these schools are concentrated in more prosperous cities. They are basically prepared for the children of nobles and wealthy businessmen. It is difficult for ordinary civilians to afford them. Expensive tuition.
Maybe parents who have one parent who is an intellectual can teach their children some basic knowledge themselves, but farmers and workers who cannot read a few Chinese characters themselves are unable to do anything about it. At most, they can only teach their children when they reach a certain age. , send them to the city to be apprentices of craftsmen or servants in noble families. As for culture and education, it would be good if they could know a few more commonly used words, so why talk about these things?

"It's just that as the governor's deputy, Miss Colonel doesn't seem like an uneducated person," Pleasant said.
"I was raised by the mercenary leader of the Saast Sea. What I have been exposed to since I was not books, but weapons." Luas said slowly, leaning on the bookshelf.
"I also heard about the name 'Black' in the early years. He is the number one killer among the free mercenaries. It is said that there are even legendary level strong men who fell into your hands."
"Those are all things in the past. Ever since I met General Rogge, my life has begun to change. Now I am no longer the killing machine I used to be. I have ended the nightmare of my past. I have my own body. I have a name of my own, and I have friends worth trusting." Lu Ya
Si's eyes were deep, as if he was recalling something from the past.
"General Rogge? Does this refer to Vittor?" Plisson was a little suspicious. Judging from the immature appearance of the current Governor Norton, I am afraid that he was still a minor a few years ago. Could it be that Vittor has extraordinary talent? , was able to guide murderers to correct their evil ways when they were still children? But this doesn’t look like it either.
"No, the General Rogge I am talking about refers to the former military commander, Archduke Rogge's adopted son, Ellie Knotir Rogge." Luas explained.
"Vitor's sister?" Plissen asked again.
"So, although they are not close, General Arthur has always been very friendly to Governor Vitor, and the relationship between the two parties is not much worse than that of biological siblings."
It is indeed not easy for a woman with Ellie in her name to make a bloodthirsty lone wolf willingly become an obedient soldier.
Pleasant sighed.
"I was first brought to the military headquarters by General Arthur and served as the general's deputy. The general also taught me how to recognize in his spare time, but I obviously have no talent for this aspect. In addition, the military affairs are complicated and it is difficult to study. It took too long, so I still don’t know a lot of words.”
Pleasant felt a twinge of regret in his heart. Thanks to his father, Plow, he got into Nemeans College through his connections. Although his admission and diploma basically depended on the building donated by Mr. Mock to Nemeans Business School. Changed to, but after all, Pu Luo has stayed in Tianying's top university for several years. He can barely count as a knowledge score and can teach children something. Otherwise, I'm afraid Plisson's own cultural level is not enough.
"In that case, Miss Colonel, let's explore other places in the attic first. If you find anything, tell me as soon as possible."
"I already have a basic idea of the contents of these notes placed on the first floor, and I already have a rough guess in my mind, but I still need to read the contents of these books before I can make a rough inference." Pleasant As he spoke, he opened the book in his hand and began to read it roughly.
Although his reading speed is no faster than those of prodigies who are proficient in quantum wave speed reading, it is not a problem to understand the general content at a glance.
"Okay, take a good look, and also look for anything special on the first floor. Don't miss any useful information or clues." Luas nodded, briefly explained a few words, and then Turn around and climb the rickety stairs.
Plisson watched Luas get on the board, and quickly turned the book, which was not thick, to the last page while looking at it roughly.
The content of the book was not surprising, but Pleasant once again discovered the handwriting of the elder brother in the "Secret of Alchemy" in his hand.
In the co-creator column that appears on the last page of the book, the name Rand Furley is marked with a big red circle, and next to the red circle is the eye-catching handwriting of Klein, the president of the Alchemy Society.
"This is a stupid dog."
