He visited the villager Frank that agreed on exchange for meat."Good morning, Frank."
"Good morning, young hunter. Did you come to exchange for our Brenda?"
"That"s right. I came to show you my offer. If you don"t agree, I will try to get something more."
The boy showed him, two hares and quail. Frank was interested but was hesitating a little.
"What do you think?" Aron asked with indifferent voice.
"Are furs part of the deal?" Frank asked with a shy voice. It was a little funny for Aron.
"That"s right. I can even dismantle it for you!"
"I don"t care about the value of this. I just want that pig."
"No. Deal is good. I don"t need you to dismantle it."
"Ok, then here. Take it." Aron pa.s.sed his game to Frank.
They went to hut and he tied pig and pa.s.sed the rope to the Aron. The boy took the rope and tied all legs of it and started carrying it.
"Thank you, for business." Frank watched him leaving with a sad expression. He thought that the pig will be killed. The only reason, he agreed to trade was he couldn"t feed his family anymore. The pig was malnourished and man couldn"t watch her suffering anymore.
Aron brought the pig into his hut and closed the door. The pig was terrified, Aron was hunter and animals could feel the danger from him.
[Brenda(Sow)]
[Traits: Malnourished, Gluttonous]
"You don"t have any skills, your owner was starving and you are glutton."
They entered the s.p.a.ce, it became huge after adding forest area. Forest area was empty for now, it didn"t matter for now. He checked on fluffy hare that was inside the cage. It refused to eat, yet hunger started to take over his wild pride.
The pig was put inside a new fence, and he brought her some wheat in a wooden container. He untied it and closed the fence.
"It"s ok. You can eat to your full here. Hahaha!" He laughed and left.
The pig was watching food and slowly started to dig into it. The happy expression appeared on its face and devoured the entire container. Aron prepared some straw as pig bed, pig though it"s food and ate it.
"I hope it won"t eat the wooden fence!" The trace of worry appeared on his face.
He threw more straw to the pig and left the s.p.a.ce. It was time to visit the village chief.
The village chief was taking care of his plants, and he was happy when Aron came.
"Good morning, chief. I came to study. Are you available right now?"
"h.e.l.lo. Little Aron, let me finish plucking these weeds, and we can start the lessons."
"I can help you." He said and approached the garden.
"That would be good. Thank you in advance."
Aron was already an expert in plucking the weeds. What would take a chief entire day, he did in a few minutes. The chief was shocked and looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.
"Ok, come to the hut. I will start teaching."
The main language of this kingdom was Aderish, the language of Adea empire. It wasn"t anything like earth"s languages, at least the languages that he knew of. The few hours of explaining and the boy could write simple sentences. In his previous life, he had something called perfect memory. Although in this life, his brain wasn"t so good, he could remember a few hundred symbols after a few hours. This language had weird grammar and it took him the longest time to learn them.
He didn"t have a paper to practice on. He practiced on a stone tablet, the chief explained to him that most of the people use the skin like parchment.
After a few hours, he left and practiced inside of his s.p.a.ce. Before night, he mastered reading and writing.
