Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 494 The Game "Snake"

"Five hundred commonly used words can meet the basic communication needs in daily life."

A thousand commonly used words can be used to simply describe things, express emotions, and tell stories.

With just two thousand words, one can engage in fluent daily conversations and exchanges.

Progress is made step by step, with each step offering its own rewards and practical value.

Why didn't anyone think of these things before?

And these too…

Karel Taylor shook his head as he looked at his niece's notebook, sighing repeatedly.

Everyone has his strong and weak points.

Even within the same world, different regions have their own advantages and disadvantages; the same is true for different worlds.

In the past, in modern times, one had to learn pinyin before learning characters.

In ancient times, before learning characters, one had to first learn how to break down characters and understand the meaning of the text before one could learn primers like the "Three Character Classic" which contained traditional moral concepts.

But this world is basically about rote learning; if you learn it, you're considered a good teacher; if you can't learn it, you're considered to lack talent.

It emphasizes recklessness.

This was true of the Ghanaian family, from which Yaro was born, and even more so of the Taylor family.

Without a large-scale basic education system, even if such knowledge exists, it is difficult to spread it widely.

Putting down his notebook, Karel Taylor let out a long sigh of relief and looked up, saying:

"Elena Taylor, this academy established by Lord Yarrow seems quite interesting. What do you think...? Should we follow Lord Yarrow's wishes and send some eligible mortals to join the academy?"

Elena Taylor shook her head slightly: "Uncle, I don't think it's necessary."

Explain your reasons.

"The risks of transporting ordinary people are too great."

Elena Taylor paused, then added, "The Dark Plains are dangerous for ordinary people; they can't get across on their own."

But the situation is extremely chaotic now, and it's impossible to stay hidden with a group of ordinary people; they're easily ambushed and attacked.

The attackers' target was certainly not just a few literate ordinary people.

In this chaotic situation, the leading wizards are seen as prey by others.

Karel nodded slightly: "Have you considered that the Lanelli family might send someone, and might even be the only family to send someone to join the academy? After all, the Lanelli family already has a presence in the Kingdom of Lanelli."

Elena Taylor remained silent.

She did think of that, which is why she deliberately framed Luna Lanelli.

Unfortunately……

If the Lanelli family really did send someone to join the academy and cooperate with the academy's assessment system, it could really bring her a lot of trouble!

"Uncle, what should we do?" Elena Taylor asked hurriedly.

Karel narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint in them: "If our people can't get here, then let their people not get here either."

Elena Taylor immediately understood what her uncle meant.

……

Boom boom boom!

"Please come in."

As Luna Lanelli pushed open the door and looked up, a flash of amazement crossed her eyes.

The blond boy lazily looked at the book, the soft morning light shining through the window and casting a bright and clear glow on him, shimmering, pure and warm, as beautiful as a dream.

Luna Lanelli paused, suddenly feeling a pang of reluctance to break the harmonious atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the blond boy remained focused on the special book in his hands, his fingers constantly pressing keys, completely absorbed.

What book is he reading?

Luna Lanelli glanced over instinctively.

Huh? It doesn't seem to be a book, but a strange wooden board covered with squares, like a chessboard?

The blond boy's two hands pressed repeatedly on the strange wooden board, which opened up a space where a long, dark strip moved dynamically like a snake, rapidly rushing towards a small, constantly flashing dot in the corner...

Is this some kind of strange treasure?

What is its function?

Just then, the blond boy finally raised his head.

"Miss Luna? What's the matter so early?"

Looking into the blond boy's deep eyes and listening to his gentle voice, Luna's heart pounded like a deer's, and her eyes darted away in a panic.

"I have compiled the five hundred, one thousand, and two thousand commonly used words from 'The Amorous Life of Count Comiso,' so I came here specifically to give them to Dean Yarrow."

"Is it done? You must have had a long night's sleep. You've worked hard, go home and get some rest."

This is a huge amount of work.

Because when you need to look through a book, you need to count the number of times each word appears.

Luna suddenly felt a sense of shame, but at the same time, she was reluctant to leave like this.

She bit her lip lightly and stammered, "I...I'm sorry, Dean Yaro, actually I was lazy. I went to bed very early last night. This was done by...the servants at home."

Yesterday I saw you and Elena Taylor going head-to-head, how come you've turned into this today?

Yaro found it somewhat amusing, but he wouldn't give her a hard time.

"These are your own advantages, so why not use them? Just put more effort into teaching your students in the future."

Yaro wasn't exactly known for his chivalry; the enemies who died at his hands included men and women, old and young. But he didn't harbor any innate ill will towards young, beautiful girls who weren't particularly old and hadn't been found to have done anything wrong.

"Um...I..." The girl's eyes flickered, her gaze unfocused, and she seemed somewhat helpless.

"What? Is there anything else? Just say it, I'm not going to eat you."

"N-nothing."

Yaro secretly wondered, 'Could it be some kind of arranged marriage again? Is it because they know I rejected Elena Taylor yesterday, and they're too embarrassed to say it out loud?'

If that's the case, then there's no need to say it out loud.

"Well, I haven't finished my morning lessons yet. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

As Yaro spoke, he picked up the peculiar "wooden board" again, played a simple "Snake" game, and then got up and left the room.

After Yaro left, Luna looked around and reluctantly pulled out a secret letter.

—The secret letter was signed "Fernando"!

Luna stared at the envelope, muttering to herself, "Who left this letter? Is it really the Fernando wizarding family, or a fake one? Why did they send me here, but forbid us from enrolling students in the academy?"

……

Yaro paused as he walked down the stairs, a strange glint in his eyes.

I never expected such a pleasant surprise.

But... why is Luna saying these things while standing in her own office?

Surely no one really enjoys talking to themselves about their core secrets in an unfamiliar place?

"Lord Yaro!"

Upon hearing someone call out, Yaro twitched his finger slightly, and the water mirror on the wooden board shattered rapidly, revealing the strange square pattern once again.
