Chapter 3 Mentor

  Liu Yu learned from his parents that children of the Mongolian ethnic group start receiving education at the age of 6, learning the script and some basic common sense of the animal tribe. This kind of universal compulsory education surprised him for a while.

  From the architectural style of the Beastman Kingdom, the level of weapons held by the guards, and their attire, Liu Yue roughly felt that the era in which the beast tribe lived had many similarities with medieval Europe. In that era, the illiteracy rate among Europeans was extremely high, to the point where even Charlemagne, who nearly unified Western Europe, could only write his own name.

  But this country, which is quite similar to the Middle Ages and has residents with beastly appearances, actually has such an advanced system that it really shocked him.

  After the accident, Liu Yu had an idea and asked his parents to let him start school early so that he could understand this world a little earlier. Now he is heading towards the Bimon tribe school in the south of the city.

  ............

  A black tower-shaped building with a square base that tapers upwards and narrows towards the top, pointing straight into the clouds.

  "This is the school, quite impressive." Under the sunlight, Liu Yu, still small in stature, looked up at the gigantic black stone tower and followed the servant into the tall building.

  Unlike the bright sunshine outside, the light inside the high tower is quite dim. A corridor in the middle divides one floor into two parts. On the ceiling of the corridor, dozens of pendant lamps emitting soft yellow light are evenly distributed from the gate to the deepest part.

  The walls on both sides of the corridor were simply carved with some beast-like human figures, including Bamons, centaurs, werewolves, ratmen, antmen, and long-beastmen that Liu Yu had never seen before, such as tigers, lions, bears, cows, dogs, etc.

  "Didn't have these beastmen last Beast God Festival, did they go extinct?" Liu Yu thought to himself as he swept his gaze over the unfamiliar beastman carvings.

  "Your Highness, you have a class in the first lecture hall." A fox-like person with a somewhat old-fashioned appearance, dressed in a light red robe, had already stood beside Liu Yu and said respectfully.

  "Alright, you lead the way. Anna, you can go back." Having arranged for his personal Fox Tribe maid to attend to him, Liu Yu followed the old fox man as they walked deeper into the first layer.

  "Isn't it time for class? It's so quiet, are they having class or not? Doesn't seem like it!" Liu Yu followed the old fox man all the way inside and soon felt the difference in this place. The entire floor, except for his own footsteps and those of the old fox man leading the way, was completely silent, without any other sounds. Even during class time, it shouldn't be this quiet, should it?

  Under the dim lamp light, Liu Yu had a slightly strange feeling. If he hadn't known that his father, Ge Ya, had already arranged everything, he would have suspected that he had come to the wrong place.

  "Your Highness, the lecture hall is here. Your seat is in the front row with your name on it." The old fox led Liu Yu all the way to the deepest part of the first floor before stopping. Then, without saying much, he opened the door and gestured for Liu Yu to enter.

  Haha...

  "Don't run!......"

  "Grab him..." And at the moment the classroom door opened, a large amount of boisterous laughter and shouting poured out.

  "What a strong soundproofing effect!" The classroom was filled with the hum of voices, but outside it was as quiet as if nothing was happening. This showed that the soundproofing effect of the classroom walls and doors was so good that it left Liu Yu in awe.

  Liu Yu strode into the classroom, which was rectangular in shape with dozens of rows of seats stretching out before and behind him. Liu Yu couldn't estimate how many people it could hold at a glance, but the room wasn't full, only about half the seats were occupied. In the front two rows sat a handful of small Golden Mongols, while in the back several dozen Blazing Earth Mongols sat.

  Through these months of living, Liu Yu had a general understanding of the Mongols. There were three types of Mongols: Lie Yan Mong, Da Di Mong and Huang Jin Mong. Among them, Huang Jin Mong was the most respected, and at the same time, there were also the fewest number of Huang Jin Mong.

  At the moment Liu Yu entered, all the little Bimons who were chatting with each other stopped and looked at the door. The classroom also became quiet immediately, but when they saw it was a little Bimon who came in, they quickly returned to their noisy chatter.

  A long-forgotten sense of ease and joy surged up in Liu Yu's heart, which was exactly the same as when he went to school in his previous life.

  "Alexander, how did you come here? You still have half a year before school starts." A small flame-like boy with a bright red shirt ran to Liu Yu's side and asked. His face, which was slightly taller than Liu Yu's and covered in red hair, had a childish look but also showed a hint of heroism.

  This is Liu Yu's paternal uncle, Fieht Wei Lin. There were many younger generations in the Wei Lin family, but either they were a few years older than him or a few years younger and roughly the same age as Liu Yu with close kinship, only this paternal uncle remained.

  Although Liu Yu was already over 20 years old in his past life, after rebirth he naturally didn't want to play "house" with kids of the same age. However, in order not to draw attention to himself, he still often came into contact with people of the same age, among whom Fei Te was the one he contacted the most.

  "My father made me start school early." Liu Yu didn't explain much and went to find his own seat. Although he hadn't attended school before, he still recognized his own name, and Fei Te called over a few familiar classmates to introduce them to Liu Yu.

  At this time, the classroom door opened again, and an old man in black clothes with a slightly hunched back walked into the classroom. His golden hair proved his identity, Huang Jin Bao. However, his hair looked somewhat dull and dim, and his face was covered with wrinkles, obviously a person who had entered his twilight years. The noisy classroom fell silent again, and Xiao Bi Meng sat upright in his seat.

  The old man stepped onto the podium and the curtains of the four large windows on the right side of the classroom fell down inexplicably, while the pendant lamps on the ceiling lit up at the same time.

  Liu Yu looked at the window in surprise, the thick curtains did not let a single ray of sunlight pass through, and the pendant lamp emitted a white light similar to that of an incandescent bulb, rather than the yellowish candle-like glow from the corridor outside.

  "What's the point of using a lamp in broad daylight?" Liu Yu wondered to himself, scanning the surrounding little demons with a glance, finding that they all didn't show any unusual expressions, as if they had long been used to it, seeing this he could only suppress the doubts in his heart for now.

  Old Huang Jin on stage gazed down at the smiling "little guys" below and said, "This afternoon we'll be telling the story of Subi Wang..."

  ..........

  "Master, I'd like to know what the entire continent is like." A month later, Liu Yu sat in his seat and asked with a curious expression.

  For more than a month, Liu Yu had thoroughly familiarized himself with the educational methods of the Bimon tribe. In the morning, he taught them to recognize and write characters, while in the afternoon, he told stories about the history of the beast tribe and allowed students to ask questions freely.

  However, for other ethnic groups, especially the Man people that Liu Yu wanted to know more about, there was hardly any mention of them during this period. Liu Yu remained in a state of confusion.

  But the teacher was only one, that is, this powerful instructor of the same clan but still unknown specific generation. Today, Liu Yu finally couldn't help but ask his own question.

  "Oh, little thing, you're very curious about these things." Wei Lin's mentor smiled and looked at Liu Yu.

  "Yes, mentor!" Liu Yu replied sincerely.

  "Hehe, it's rare for someone as young as you to ask such a question. Alright, stay after class and we'll talk about it." Then, with a smile, the instructor went on to answer another student's question.

  After class, Liu Yu didn't agree to go catch small animals with Feite, but instead followed the guidance of Weilin's instructor and walked up to the fifth floor of the stone tower where the classroom was located. The fifth floor was as dimly lit as the first floor, and the walls were also carved with various beastman patterns.

  However, the fifth floor only had one door, and on the lintel were carved three beast tribe characters. Liu Yu, who had studied for over a month and could already recognize several beast tribe characters, recognized that they spelled out "Repository".

  "It turned out to be the library." Liu Yu thought to himself.

  "Little guy, remember that after entering here, unless I allow it, don't take away anything." The stern-looking instructor said.

  "I understand, teacher."

  As soon as he entered the house, a huge painting of about one meter wide and more than one person high caught his eye. The painting was white-based, with simple black lines outlining the shape of a landmass, which had mountains and rivers on it, and next to them were written the words of the beast tribe. Liu Yu found that in the lower left corner of the painting, there was a small block of text that read "beast".

  "Alexander, this is the map of the entire continent. It was drawn by my beast tribe's ancestors with countless efforts and dedication. The answers to your questions are all on it." Before Liu Yu could ask a question, Weilun had already given the answer.

  "This is the world map." Liu Yu observed quietly as he looked at the large painting. The craftsmanship of the map seemed a bit rough, with many places being somewhat blurry, but overall the shape of the continents was still clear at a glance. Liu Yu was very interested in observing every corner of the map, although he didn't recognize many of the beast tribe texts marked on it.

  "Liu Yu didn't recognize many of the characters." Liu Yu began to seek help from his teacher Weilin.

  "It's okay, I'll explain it to you slowly, and you can ask questions slowly." The instructor smiled faintly and pulled over a chair from the side, sitting down unhurriedly.

  "What is the situation like in Eastern China?" Liu Yu asked first, revealing his deep concern.

  The eastern part of the mainland is the territory of humans, with several small kingdoms such as the Charlian Empire, Norman Empire and Kingdom of Ross.

  Liu Yu's heart skipped a beat at this answer, "It would be great if I could take a look."

  "Is this beast talking about us, Master?"

  "Ah, indeed it is said that our Beastman Kingdom." A hint of embarrassment flashed across the face of Weilin, although it quickly disappeared, but was still caught by Liu Yu. "It seems that reality and my thoughts are different after all." Liu Yu thought to himself.

  Next, Liu Yu asked the entire continent a simple question, and a completely different world outline appeared before his eyes. It wasn't until evening that Liu Yu bid farewell to his instructor and prepared to head home, but as soon as he left the teaching tower, he saw his personal fox tribe maid Anna waiting anxiously outside the door.

  "Ah, I forgot. Let me explain first." Seeing Anna's anxious expression, Liu Yu immediately understood what was going on. It seemed that no matter how he explained it to his mother, Naya, she would still scold him.

  Afterwards, Liu Yu obtained the permission of Master Wei Lin and was allowed to enter the library every day, where Master Wei Lin explained to him the various ethnic groups, geography, and customs on the mainland.

  During this process, Liu Yu deeply admired the vast knowledge and strong learning ability of Weilin's instructor. This world did not have a universal encyclopedia that popularized knowledge, but Weilin's instructor's insight was no less than a comprehensive encyclopedia. In normal study, Liu Yu had already fully learned the beast tribe's text, and Weilin's instructor began to teach him the common language and text of the human race.
