Chapter 206 - The Fear Of Knowing Something New_The Sage of Einar

In the ssroom, Darían was sitting while watching A giving her ss in front of all the children.

 "Remember to write your name correctly on your sand boards, otherwise you will have to repeat the exercises ..."

 Darían watched with curiosity as all the children use their fingers to write in the sand.

 ''It is a fabulous and quite novel method to use sand to teach. I think that this can be applied in our city.

 

 The training of the nobility will be quite effective, although at the same time I do not like the idea that not all children can enjoy an environment like this.

 

 But what can I do, before a noble I am a merchant and I simply cannot live with false hopes but at the same time, I do not like this feeling.

 

 Unfortunately, I am not the heir of my family. That ce belongs to my older brother. I can only work with the little that I can obtain from an inheritance after the death of my father. ''

 Feeling that he was wandering too much in his thoughts, Darían only shook his head and began stroking his temples in an attempt to distract himself.

 As time passed and the ss progressed, Darían could see the strange number system that he had seen Einar use during his transaction at the port.

 ''So the use of Roman numerals is pretty old-fashioned, but since he was able to create something like this, not only is it quite useful but easy to remember.''

 When the ss finally reached a break time indicated by the sound of a bell, all the children got up from their seats quite happily and left.

 Well, they nned to go to the patio to y before going to the dining room to eat their food because a few hours had already passed since they had started their ss.

 After seeing how the children left the ssroom, A pointed to Darían "I hope you have been able to enjoy the ss, although it is fairly simple teaching it is necessary for the children.

 Well, if they do not know the basics of any subject, it is very likely that they will fail in the future when performing moreplex actions that require them to have broader knowledge.

 But I think it is necessary to stop talking about children. If you like, you cane to the front to show you the microscope and how it works. "

 Darían, who was very curious to know about the microscope, stood up and watched as A took out of a specially prepared wooden box a kind of somewhat small device.

 Although this was not whatpletely surprised him but what he did next when he ced some water between two very thin tes of amber.

 When everything was ready, A asked him toe closer so that she could see a new world.

 Darían swallowed some saliva and following A''s instructions, she looked through the microscope, and although the beginning wasplicated, what she could see afterward made her marvel at the same time that she felt absolute fear throughout her body.

 "Those things that are floating, what are they and why were they in the water?"

 A sigh "They are microorganisms and they live everywhere. Many of them cause diseases that can end our lives while others can paradoxically save our lives.

 In this case, what you are observing are the microorganisms that are in a drop of water without boiling. When the water is boiled, most of the microorganisms die.

 So it is quite safe to take it, there are also microorganisms on the skin, so if soap is not used to bathe these produce aromas, and if they are not cleaned, they can damage the skin.

 This also applies to clothing and bedding, although in that case, they are not the microorganisms that you should be concerned about but mites.

 Small insects that feed on the dead skin that we shed from our bodies. "

 Hearing these words, Darían felt his whole body full of dirt. He can also feel a rather horrible feeling of difort because somehow he could feel small insects running through his skin.

 "If you used soap to wash me and wash all my objects, those things will die, right?"

 A agreed "It is essential to have good hygiene because what you have been able to observe is the hidden world that lives without our knowing it.

 Most diseases can be avoided by cooking the meat and boiling the water, although if one has proper hygiene and cleans any wound with alcohol.

 You can have a healthy life, of course, there are other factors such as the exercise you do and the diet you have. "

 Darían turned his head and looked seriously at A "I would like to know more about healthy eating and personal hygiene, but especially I would like to know what is alcohol."

 A smiled and took from the table a small book that had simple but illustrative pictures. "This book was specially created by Einar to show children everything they need to do to maintain proper hygiene.

 It is written in Latin so you ask to keep it as it is a gift from Einar, insofar as it is alcohol, it is this substance. "

 Walking over to a wooden shelf that had a white cross drawn on it, A opened the shelf doors and took out a ss jar that had a crystalline substance on it.

 "This is alcohol. Process to obtain it I cannot give it to you since it is a secret of the tribe but I can tell you that it is used to heal wounds.

 If you have a wound but you do not clean and disinfect it, it is very likely that it will be infected, so it will give off a horrible smell and will cause a lot of itching or pain.

 But the worst thing is that an infected wound can cause death or the infected limb has to be amputated, but using a little boiled water and alcohol canpletely avoid that.

 Either way, in the little book you will find all the information you need to know. "

 Darían looked at the microscope and the book in his hand before sighing "A, can my guards see through the microscope, I would love to be able to show them the hidden world.

 I think they will be a good way to show the new hygiene habits that I am going to have ...

 If I''m honest, I have never felt so dirty and unprotected; I wish I could forget everything but at the same time I appreciate knowing this information.

 Well, at least now I can know how to deal with these invisible enemies, but if this is what they teach children, what kind of information they can teach adults. "

 A justughed and left the bottle of alcohol in the ssroom medicine cab "I can tell you that these are veryplicated things that only Kassia and Einar can understand.

 Helmi and I are behind them because our understanding of advanced topics is quite basic but if you want to know about those topics, you will have to wait because I don''t think they will be made public in the future. "

 Darían shook his head because just thinking about the advanced things Einar could do with a slight headache annoyed him.

 ''But if he is a herald of his gods, it does not mean that he is also a chosen one like Jesus was ...

 

 I must stop thinking about those, or else my soul may be condemned for having such sacrilegious thoughts. ''

 With a signal of his hand, he indicated to his guards that they would approach him so that they could see through the microscope. The guards, without knowing what was in store for them, looked and at that moment, something changed in them.

 After this, Darían took a seat in his chair and began to read that book in which he could see something else that left him quite surprised.

 Although the book was small, it was written almost perfectly, as the letters were arranged in an orderly way.

 But not only was that what caught his attention, since the drawings in the book were also simple and all were perfectly ced.

 It was almost as if the book had not been written by human hands but must have been something else because even the scribes of the city could not make a book with such quality.

 ''This kind of book is fascinating, but how could they have created something so advanced without having scribes in sight.

 

 What kind of people live in this tribe ...

 

 No, the real question is to know how much power Einar has. I am sure that without him none of this would be possible.

 

 That''s why he wanted me to keep the secret and make a deal with him. But the most important thing is that none of this could be done by a demon or someone with evil.

 

 Unless a demon does things that benefit the children without receiving anything in return, but that would be impossible because even we do not help orphaned children because they are a burden to our city ... ''

 At that moment, Darían only lowered his head because he felt defeated and somehow he could feel an internal pain because perhaps he was the true demon.
