It was still the familiar large tent, but it was different from the previous state of confusion. Dong Chen was very clear this time. Even along the way, some barbarians had already taken the initiative to say hello to Dong Chen.

Those people either had "Zhipaihou" with Dong Chen, or had seen Dong Chen cook in the cafeteria, so they all knew Dong Chen, and they also felt that Dong Chen was a good person.

After being able to say the barbarians, Dong Chen found that the great elder was indeed easy to get in touch. At least he had no strange requests when entering his big tent, nor did he say "outsiders are not allowed to enter" or so on.

"Great Elder, I'm here again, hehe." Lombard said with a chuckle.

"Dear Great Elder, since I didn't speak your language last time, I didn't say hello to you. This time I learned your language, I will give you a formal greeting. My name is Dong Chen, thank you for your tribe's help."

Compared to Lombal, who is more familiar with and close to the Great Elder, he has more formal greetings to Dong Chen, who is unfamiliar here. After saying that, he bowed his head to greet the Great Elder.

The elder nodded to Lombard first, and then said gently to Dong Chen, "Don't be so polite, haha, the lost adventurer."

"It was Lombard who discovered you in the forest. You should thank him, but your talent for learning language surprised me. It took me a few days to communicate smoothly with people in the tribe."

"So, Dong Chen, is there anything you have to do with me?"

The elder's attitude was very gentle. Although he said he could just thank Lombard, Dong Chen knew that if he had no affirmation, his treatment in the tribe would have been another situation.

After he learned to speak, he knew this immediately after chatting with Lombard, especially the great elder defined himself as a "guest", so there were people he knew along the way to say hello to him, otherwise no matter how delicious the cooking is, it would not work, at most he would have a good impression.

To talk about the barbarians’ minds, this can prove that listening to the Great Elder is very important.

Now that he heard the Great Elder ask about his purpose, Dong Chen looked at his books, then recalled Lombard's instructions, and asked directly, "Great Elder, I came here this time to get your help."

"I want to borrow your book to read, but I don't know if it's OK?"

"Oh, read a book?" The elder was stunned when he heard this request, and turned his head to look at his book. "This is the first time I have heard such a request. No one in the clan likes to read these things."

"Hehe, but that thing is really boring," Lombard said, scratching his head directly at the seat.

The eldest elder ignored the silly boy, but looked straight at Dong Chen, waiting for his reply.

"That's right, Great Elder, after my ship broke, I fell to an island..."

Since the Great Elder asked, Dong Chen briefly explained his own affairs. The matter was basically that matter, but he changed some key things.

For example, the wrecked ship is not a wooden ship at sea, but an interstellar spacecraft.

He did not come from another continent, but from another planet.

The storm and the monsters in the sea will not destroy his ship. His ship was blown up by the space energy storm.

However, compared to the Great Elder and Lombard, after Dong Chen's story, they learned that Dong Chen was an adventurer from another continent and went out to sea to find a new continent. However, when he encountered storms and monsters on the sea, the ship could not hold on and finally landed here.

Then he relied on the blessing of his ancestors to walk through the forest, but in the end he fell into the flowers and was picked up by Lombard in the tribe.

"...For us, books are very important information record carriers, and many things will be recorded on it."

"And if you guessed correctly, although I drifted here, I think I have indeed found the New World. I want to go to the human world you mentioned to find out if I can find the way home."

"I heard from Lombard that you have been to the human world many times, and even many of the books here have been brought from the human world. So I want to borrow the books of the Great Elder to understand your customs and habits, see if you can find some information about the human society, and don't do anything inappropriate at that time."

In Dong Chen's story, the Great Elder could not tell the difference between real and fake, but Dong Chen's attitude was indeed extremely serious, so the Great Elder was still sure.

When he was strolling outside, he really heard of some adventurers who specialize in finding the end of the world, looking for new continents and new worlds.

The experience Dong Chen talked about just fits what this adventurer did. His intuition has always been very effective and told him that what Dong Chen said was nothing wrong. He really came to borrow books, and the purpose of borrowing books was not to hurt them.

These days, the Great Elder sent people to keep an eye on everything Dong Chen did in the tribe. The Great Elder knew everything he did.

Judging from his status over the past few days, he is indeed learning languages, but the learning progress is indeed too fast, he is simply a genius.

Moreover, everything here is very strange to him. He does have a process of gradually getting familiar with him. From the beginning, he doesn't understand anything to the current gradually getting familiar with him, he can see it.

So after pondering for a moment, the Great Elder asked an important question, "It's okay to borrow books, but do you... know how to read?"

“…………”

Dong Chen suddenly felt a big head.

"……Won't."

There is no way. No matter how much knowledge you have learned on Earth, when you reach the other side of the civilization, Dong Chen doesn’t know a single word. Even if you learn to speak, you are still... illiterate.

Looking at Dong Chen's embarrassed look, the elder smiled gently, "It's okay, it's okay to be illiterate. It's rare to see a young man who likes reading so much. I can teach you how to read."

"Aren't you going to the human world here? I can teach you the language of the human race here. I have been in the human world for a long time."

"Thank you so much," Dong Chen said happily, "You are really a respected elder."

After deciding on the matter of learning, Dong Chen and Lombard said goodbye and left. Today they have to accompany Lombard to finish their work, and then come to formally learn the barbarians and humans from the Great Elder tomorrow, and they can also study while reading.

On the way back, Lombard asked Dong Chen, "Dong Chen, do you really want to learn words from the Great Elder?"

"Our texts and humans are crooked like totems. If you look at two more, you will be dizzy and you can't remember them at all."

"That's because you can't remember it, not because others can't remember it," Dong Chen waved his hand speechlessly, and said, "I'm in our place, I have to read millions of words for a few days, and after reading it, I feel uncomfortable if I don't read it for a day, and I'll lose my books."

"How many...millions of words? This is..." Lombard was surprised to break his fingers when he heard this, but he couldn't count them after he broke it.

"This is too amazing?! Do people in your place love reading and studying so much?"

Faced with Lombard's surprise, Dong Chen spread his hands and said, "I must like reading books, but I don't know if I love learning."

"Isn't reading a book the same as studying?" Lombard continued to ask in surprise.
