Edward knew that as far as the current society was concerned, he could consider himself omniscient and omnipotent as if he was a prophet for them in terms of knowledge. It was an arrogant statement but it only served as a proof of the impact he had
'If these primitive savage brethren had some form of writing, they would take a small book and follow my ass while recording every word I said to them as the highest order of instruction.'

"Can you see it clearly? The key to burning charcoal is that there must be a layer of mud on the outside of the pile of firewood, and then a small hole will be left on to aside. Only if it is not fully burned, can you get charcoal, do you understand?"
"Light brother why don't you burn it directly, what do you want charcoal for?" asked Big head.
"Show some respect. Calling a leader as "Light brother". He is our leader and he will be called as such!" Roc told Big head sternly.
"We have to cook pottery, and we have to smelt metal in the future. Without charcoal, it won't work. Do you understand?" replied Edward.
They couldn't understand much. Edward himself didn't have such a strong grasp of knowledge over this kind of stuff so he just explained it to them in general.
In front of Edward was a pile of freshly burned charcoal. Roc went up and broke the muddy outer shell with his feet. The black outer shell was broken into ashes while even the inside charcoal was smashed.
"Hey be careful when breaking the black outer shell. Charcoal is very brittle. Also, we will be using charcoal in large quantities in the future. As my second in command, you shouldn't personally do this kind of work and let someone else do it. Got it?"
"I…. understand Light brother."
"Well, let people move the charcoal to the kiln, I want to start burning the pottery," Edward ordered.
"Light Bro we follow your wishes. Also, three deer have been cleaned up, do you want to start roasting them right now?" Roc asked.
"Oh, I feel like everyone's eyes are already red from staring at the deer meat. Right now the sky is still bright, it's too early. We will start the roasting in dark. I want these people to work hard so that the deer roast can be their reward. This way they'll work harder."
"I never thought of that. If they eat deer now, they would start to laze around with full stomachs"
"Roast the pheasants first. That'll keep their hunger away for now. Once Daisy's fever has gone, we have to supplement her body with food to recover her strength. So we must complete these potteries before dark."
Throughout the afternoon, Edward made clumsy attempts which finally resulted in a mud and stone one-meter-high stove.
Edward had also made a mud tire. Although it was not evenly shaped it is enough to make a casserole.
He placed the mud tire carefully on the stove while holding a pile of charcoal and stuffing it under the stove.
Roc held a burning stick and lit the charcoal.
In an instant, the furnace was reddish.

At some point in time, Night was finally free from delegating the duties for the women of the tribe. That was when she noticed Light and her brother like Roc trying to make pottery. Being the curious one she was, she too joined them to see what would happen.
"Light, after this burns, what will it become?"
"It will turn black and harden. In the future, we will burn all kinds of cans, large and small jars, plates, which can be used to hold food, water. Once I am done, you would never be without water. We will store water for more than a day use."
Night saw that after Light had completed his last sentence, he suddenly squinted his eyes and gave her a funny look.
"Of course, you can also use it as a urine tank. If you are awakened at night, you don't have to run outside and do your business. You should thank me for saving your ass from being frozen in the cold night. Hahaha."
Hearing Light say something like this openly, Night was amused and laughed together with him.
Suddenly, Night became serious.
Quietly she said: "Light, I want you to kill a saber-toothed tiger!"
The subtext of this statement was: If you get the teeth of the saber-toothed tiger, you can sleep with me.
"Hey, Night can't your oath be canceled? It's not like you are going to be punished or something?"
"No Light! An oath once made can only be fulfilled and never broken. This is the teachings of my elders and I will follow them"
Edward felt conflicted. As a modern man, he had seen people breaking oaths or promises every day. He had thought these savages wouldn't be too fussy over oaths but this girl is too stubborn on her oath.
