"I believe we could try to read and comprehend the books found there," Erik responded, mirroring Amos' thoughtful expression.

"But that won't be an easy task. I mean, the texts are old and complex, and the knowledge contained in them far surpasses anything you know or understand."

As Amos pondered Erik's words, the hall fell silent once more. After a long pause, the village chief inquired, "Could you study those texts, Erik? You have been educated in the city, after all."

Erik shook his head slightly, his gaze falling to the floor, before responding. "I'm afraid my education wouldn't be much help, Amos. I was trained in basic fighting skills and general knowledge, but nothing as advanced as the technology in the ancient city. Despite its age, it's far more sophisticated than anything we were taught at school."

Disappointment spread as a murmur ran through the room. Erik's words carried weight, carrying the heavy reality that their situation was more dire than they had thought.
