Narita almost lost his calm, he wanted to punch Hikaru so badly that he would have to vomit the answer.
Fortunately, however, Narita was able to hold back, otherwise…
Hikaru saw Narita's expression and smiled: "Hahaha… I'm not tricking you, it's just… if I told you the answer, you wouldn't understand."
"Only when you understand the story can you get the best answer."
Narita sighed: "Okay… I get it."
The two continued walking, in the workshop, Narita saw a lot of useless things. No, Narita thought that maybe he was the only one who thought those things were useless.
For Hikaru, perhaps those things would help his territory to develop better.
After sightseeing, Hikaru and Narita returned to the official residential area.
"So what do you think?"
Hearing Hikaru's question, Narita sighed and said, "Except for the story about the noble and the beggar, everything is fine."
"Also the dwarves seem to no longer cause trouble, and that's what I feel I need to learn from you. You're right, the way I handled the matter seems to have gone wrong."
"Although my knowledge is rich, and I have lived a long time, I feel that I still need to learn more from you."
Hikaru nodded.
"Of course." Narita said, right now he was extremely interested in what Hikaru was doing.
To be more precise, Narita was looking forward to how much Hikaru would develop this place.
Both of them went to another area. This area had no houses, only public buildings that Narita had only seen but never used.
Hikaru explained: "These buildings all have their uses, it's just… right now I don't have enough human resources to help me manage them. I also don't trust people from other kingdoms so they won't be in operation for the time being."
"But I believe that in the future, these works will be put into operation in an extremely exciting way."
"What are they used for?" Narita asked.
Hikaru began to explain, "This will be the administrative area, where the buildings for administrative matters will be concentrated."
"So what is that extremely large area over there? The square?"
Hearing Narita's question, Hikaru looked into the distance, it was like an extremely large square with a road over 30 meters wide, and stretching for over 200 meters.
Hikaru smiled and said, "You'll know what it's for later."
Looking at Hikaru's mysterious smile, the feeling of wanting to punch Hikaru in the face surfaced again. Once again, however, Narita was able to hold himself back.
"It seems… you really like to keep secrets, don't you?"
Hearing Narita's words, Hikaru smiled and replied, "Hahaha… sorry, because even if I said it, you wouldn't be able to imagine the use of those structures."
Narita glanced at Hikaru, he felt as if Hikaru was looking down on him.
The two of them then proceeded to go to another area, this place had a small building of 3 floors. The first floor was guarded by a Lizard, seeing Hikaru and Narita coming, the Lizard immediately stood up.
"Lord!"
That Lizard knelt on the ground to salute, Hikaru nodded then said: "Um… Shala is teaching above?"
"That's right, Lord."
"Okay, you go to work, I just came to have a look."
"Yes!"
After saying that, Hikaru led the confused Narita to the 2nd floor. When they reached the 2nd floor, Narita and Hikaru stood outside in the hallway, and looked into the room.
Because this room had 2 extremely large windows they could see everything inside.
Of course, the people inside also saw them.
In the room there were about 20 children, all of them were from the Lizard or Dwarve race and they were studying.
Although the room was quite large, the 20 children made this room seem a bit cramped.
Shala was giving a lecture, and when she saw Hikaru, she bowed her head in salute.
But Hikaru immediately waved his hand, to show that she didn't need to bow.
However, he was wrong.
Immediately, all the children inside the room stood up, then bowed 90 degrees.
They shouted in unison: "Lord!"
"Ah! It seems… Shala is very well educated, and very disciplined." Hikaru saw this scene, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Alright! You can continue studying, I just came to take a look."The children heard Hikaru's words and immediately returned to their seats, and they resumed concentrating on listening to Shala's lecture.
Narita of course also saw this scene, and he found it hard to believe. Two completely different races were studying together peacefully,
Not only could they sit together, but these kids had extremely good discipline.
Just now, he could clearly see a dwarven kid standing first, and then the other kids all stood up at the same time.
"These kids…"
"What's wrong? What is the matter?" Hearing Narita's words, Hikaru, who was feeling confused, asked.
"No, it's just… I feel their discipline is better than that of the royal army. It even makes them seem like puppets who are following orders."
"Hahaha… that's a bit of an exaggeration, good discipline would make people like that. The discipline of the army is even more frightening… wait! You say… the discipline of these kids is better than the royal army?"
"That's right." Narita nodded and said, referring to the royal army, he could only sigh: "Haizz, if the royal army has this kind of discipline, they will surely become a powerful army. "
Hikaru frowned, but then he understood why Narita said that.
Shala and Anno once said that in this world, only someone who possesses the ability to use magic can become a noble.
However, nobles were also the main force of the royal army, after all the kingdoms didn't want their armies to be full of people who couldn't use magic.
But this made the royal army even more difficult to manage because they were all nobles.
That's right, nobles were arrogant, and they didn't want to listen to anyone's orders. Therefore, the royal army had almost no discipline.
It seems… he had a huge advantage on the battlefield.
As Shala was teaching, the kids didn't talk and they didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
They seemed to be listening intently to Shala, some people were jotting down what Shala was writing on the board on a scroll and There was even a kid who was so careful that he jotted down every word Shala spoke.
Narita saw this scene and felt extremely confused: "How can those kids be so quiet? He thought, " Especially the dwarves, they are the source of most of the troubles."
Hikaru smiled and explained: "This is a class, of course they have to listen to the lecture in silence."
"But…"
"Um, I understand what you're asking about. This is the habit of discipline."
"Habit of discipline?"
"That's right." Hikaru nodded and said, "Example: You have been taking one road for 10 years to get home, however, one day, another path appeared."
"The new road can also help you go home, so… do you want to take the new path?"
Narita shook his head and replied: "Of course not. We are familiar with the old road, that road gives us a more secure feeling. Besides, I don't know what the new path looks like, nor do I know if there's any danger waiting for me."
Hikaru smiled and said, "Yes, it's a habit. When you have taken that route for a long time, it becomes your habit."
"Even if you walk while thinking, and you are not paying any attention to the path you are taking, your subconscious habits will help you to stay on the old path."
"Humans are animals too, we tend to act out of habit."
"So are the children. If they are allowed to function in a disorderly manner without proper instruction, they will easily take dangerous paths."
"We need to teach those kids which way to go and which way not to go."
"This time too, Shala used some kind of educational method to get these kids to obey her."
"Too magical!" Narita couldn't help but exclaim. In his memory, not only the Dwarven children, but any child was the source of trouble.
In the past, he had seen children causing terrible problems, but those children were protected by their parents so they never stopped causing trouble.
Therefore, when he saw the children seriously studying, he felt extremely strange.
Even in the Sanctuary, when the priests were preaching about God, these kids were so noisy that the Elders had to make a decision to ban children from entering the Sanctuary.
Could it be… Shala has magic that can manipulate the psyche of these kids?
Impossible! He couldn't sense any magical energy around this place.
So that means… Are these kids really listening to Shala?
"Alright! You stay here to observe more, you can ask Shala questions that you don't understand."
After saying that, Hikaru left.
However, Narita stood still and watched Shala lecture. He felt that she was like a goddess, Shala's smile was so gentle that it made him feel like a child too.
After 30 minutes of class, Shala smiled and said, "Okay! The lesson is over, everyone go home, remember to do your homework, I'll look at it the next day."
"Don't forget to preview the lesson for tomorrow."
"Yes!" Shouted the whole class in unison. Then, the young Dwarf that Narita saw now also stood up first.
The kid shouted, "Stand!"
Right after that, the other kids also stopped what they were doing and stood up together solemnly.
Then, the kids bowed their heads 90 degrees like before: "Thanks for the lesson, Teacher Shala!"
"Um! Thank you for being serious in class." Shala also bowed 45 degrees to thank them: "So… bye bye!"
"Bye bye Teacher Shala!" After that, the children quickly gathered the items on the table and then slowly left this place.
Narita looked at the children, with countless thoughts in his heart. He sighed and entered the classroom.
Shala saw Narita and said with a smile, "Sorry for keeping you waiting."
·?θm Narita shook her head: "No, while waiting for you, I also learned a lot of things. However, may I ask what method you used to get those kids to sit still?"
Shala heard that and smiled: "Hahaha… you don't even know about such a simple thing?"
"Simple?!"
