Chapter 2678 Education (Ⅱ)

"Of course, this is the respect parents should have for their children." Joan replied without thinking.

Unexpectedly, Inanna immediately asked a more pointed question.

"If a daughter does not want to see her mother temporarily for some reason, can she refuse her mother to enter the door?"

As soon as Inanna spoke, she showed a regretful expression, carefully observed her mother's face, and quickly added: "Of course I don't dare to do this, it's just an example...Master, please don't be angry."

"I am not angry."

Joan smiled and stretched out the stalks of her eyes, caressing Inanna's forehead.

"If the daughter thinks it is necessary, she can do so, but I hope that the daughter can tell her mother frankly, so that the mother and daughter can find a way to solve the problem together, instead of shutting themselves in the bedroom and sulking alone."

Relieved, Inanna grinned sweetly.

Lack of "sense of security" is a major factor leading to children's mental illness, and the establishment of a sense of security is inseparable from two pillars-trustworthy people and inviolable private space.

Joan wanted to gain her daughter's trust and provide her with as much private space as possible, which helped Inanna's mental state change towards a healthy direction.

Joan opened the cupboard and looked. Three apples were missing, and there was only half of the honey in the jar. It seemed that Inanna had a good appetite.

Joan took out three large apples and put them in the cupboard, filled the jar with honey, and told Inanna not to eat too much honey, or tooth decay would develop.

Inanna looked obedient when she nodded, but Joan also noticed that her eyes were burning when she looked at the honey jar, like a drooling little bear, and he didn't know how effective his warning would be.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Joan asked Inanna what she did to pass the time when she was free.

"There's nothing to do." Inanna thought hard, "I'm just in a daze."

Joan almost laughed out loud.

Recalling the experience of taking care of Ruby at the beginning, he opened the storage bag, took out the doll and fairy tale book, and handed it to Inanna.

Inanna picked up the doll wearing a princess dress and flipped through it, her eyes showing confusion.

Joan saw what she was thinking, and did a "magic trick" to turn the doll into a cartoon beholder.

Inanna's tense face eased, and she hugged the doll in her arms, showing a big smile. At the same time, she opened several fairy tale books with colorful illustrations, and read them curiously. Both eyes, all stalking eyes are full of doubts.

"Master, what does this mean, I don't understand..."

Joan patted his forehead, blaming himself for not thinking well. The stories in the fairy tale books are all written in human characters, so it is strange that Inanna can understand them.

Such a small problem, of course, couldn't trouble the majestic archmage, she cast a spell casually, and translated the words in the book into beholder language.

It's a pity that there is no fairy tale book specially written for beholder cubs in the world. In the fairy tale books Joan brought from the human world, most of the characters in the stories are human children and various anthropomorphic animals. It's too discordant, and it will deepen Inanna's confusion. Simply retaining the original appearance will help her daughter understand human society and cultivate her goodwill towards human beings since she was a child.

Inanna's taste is a bit strange. She prefers to read large academic monographs, such as the complete set of "Varys Monster Manual" and the more voluminous "Encyclopedia of Plane Travel" rather than colorful fairy tale books. —This was originally Joan’s reference book for scientific research and thesis writing.

Seeing Inanna's attentive demeanor while flipping through the dictionary, Joan was quite relieved, thinking that she really deserves to be my daughter, who has shown the potential to be a master since she was a child...

Um? An adopted daughter is also a daughter, there is nothing wrong with it!

It was rare for Inanna to have such a beneficial habit, so Joan sorted out the books she carried with her, and made a copy of all the books related to popular science, with a total of about 4,000 volumes.

Joan used the "Disintegration Ray" to dig a larger room next to her daughter's bedroom as Inanna's private study room, set up three rows of bookshelves against the wall to store the books she was interested in, and then cast a spell to create a desk , all kinds of stationery and a full set of color brushes, and three drawers full of calculation paper, manuscript paper and notebooks for my daughter to use when she needs it.

"Inanna, this study will be yours from now on. If you are interested in alchemy and arcane art, I will help you design and build a larger laboratory in the future, and prepare a complete set of experimental instruments and reagents. If you encounter any questions that you don’t understand, write them down in your notebook, and as long as I have free time, I will try my best to help you answer your questions.”

"Thank you, Mother!"

Inanna liked her new study very much, excitedly circling in the air, her eyes sweeping over the piles of books on the bookshelves, suddenly showing a demeanor of worrying about gains and losses.

"Master, after I finish reading these books, will you come to test me?"

"Do you expect me to do this yourself?" Joan asked back.

Inanna hesitated for a moment before answering hesitantly: "I really want you to see that I am studying hard and have achieved something... But I am also worried that I am too stupid to meet your expectations and make you angry..."

"Silly boy, you don't need to put pressure on yourself. If you feel that you have mastered some knowledge, you might as well discuss it with your mother boldly. Your mother doesn't ask you to learn something and how high you can achieve it. The key lies in your determination. What are you interested in and what kind of achievements do you want to achieve.”

"Mother will try her best to help you realize your ideals. Even if things don't go as planned, it doesn't matter. At least we have tried and worked hard, and that's enough."

Qiao An's words were written out of emotion, not only for her daughter, but also for self-encouragement.

Inanna remembered her mother's advice and nodded solemnly, as if she had relieved the burden from her heart, and her expression became relaxed again.

Joan saw that Inanna had started to flip through the book, and guessed that she didn't want to be disturbed, so she said goodbye to her daughter and went back to her bedroom to continue studying spells.

Two days later, Joan took Inanna to inspect the territory and introduced her daughter to the servants in the territory.

The servants of the "Evil Eye Arcanist" saw Inanna's deformed main eye, and they dared not speak out on the surface, but privately they had reasons to believe that she was Lord Mitra's biological daughter.

Joan took Inanna and inspected the two territories under his name, as well as the farms, pastures, mines, and fisheries piers on the territories, and introduced to her the output, ecology and residents of the territories along the way. .

She also told Inanna where it is suitable for hunting, and the livestock raised in the pasture—mainly Roth beasts—cannot be slaughtered at will, not to mention the residents living in this territory, even if the other party is just a humble slave. Killing for no reason.
