Listening to Aaron’s words, the people on the deck were stunned. None of them had expected Lord Aaron to be so strict at a time like this.While most of the men felt disappointed, the women were quietly relieved.Kelly, the businessman’s daughter, gained a new understanding of Lord Aaron. She began to feel that he might be different from the nobles she had encountered before.-----Meanwhile, in Lord Alaric’s study room…He looked at Moria and asked in a slightly confused tone, "Grandpa Moria, did Aaron do anything out of the ordinary?"Moria shook his head and replied, "No, Master. As usual, he only bought supplies and some slaves for his territory. Other than that, nothing unusual. It seems he’s already prepared to leave by noon tomorrow."Alaric looked relieved, "That’s good. At least we won’t have any trouble during Alice’s marriage ceremony."Moria hesitated, then sighed, "In that case, Master, I’ll go meet Miss Alice."Alaric nodded, "Okay, Grandpa Moria."Moria walked out of th

Aaron laughed and said in a loud, clear voice, "Listen up, everyone. In my territory, every person will be taught. Whether you learn or not, that’s up to you." Torvald, slightly anxious, said, "Aaron, if you do that then..." Aaron cut in, "You’re afraid they’ll surpass you?" Torvald didn’t want to admit it, but deep down, that was part of his hesitation. Aaron laughed again and said, "Torvald, your thinking is too narrow. If these people are taught, they’ll come up with their own ideas. Didn’t you tell me before we left that I wanted to build a territory where everyone could pursue their dreams?" "To do that, we need to teach basic knowledge, so they can think, create, and innovate. That’s how we build the ideal city we dream of." "So we’ll teach everyone how to read, write, and do mathematics." Torvald was stunned. The others looked at Aaron with wide eyes.

"Edrin, my dear friend. Forgive me for not saying goodbye to you, Elwood, and Garric. Everything changed so quickly, I had no chance to contact you. And if I had tried, your life might’ve been in danger once I left the city.""Let’s not dwell on the sad things. By the time you read this, seven days or more may have already passed. I don’t know what awaits me, but I’m certain it will be dangerous.""I truly enjoyed our time fishing together with you and Torvald. Though I didn’t get to see Garric and Elwood again, I hope they’re doing well. Since I couldn’t say goodbye, please say it for me.""I don’t know how long it will take to establish my own city. I’ll only know once I reach Green Fort. But when I do, my convoy will return to Starfall City. If you’re willing, you can visit me then.""Also, Edrin, I know you don’t have a fixed job right now. So I’ve sent you a recipe for dried fruit. Follow the instructions carefully. You can start your own business. But never mention my name again
