Chapter 510 Knowledge dissemination

In the Government Affairs Office, the administrative center of Cecil City, Norris brought several of his assistants to the office of the Department of Information and Propaganda.

Once upon a time, this honest farmer who has been dealing with land and crops for most of his life could not imagine that one day he would stand in a room like this - a spacious and bright building, a place where big shots work, solid and beautiful desks and chairs, bookshelves filled with books and files, and magic crystal lamps on the roof. In the past, even the owner of the manor could not have such a room in his big house - but now, he really Standing right here.

And he is also the head of the agricultural department, a person who manages farming for the lord - in the old words, a "upper-class person".

Norris, who has put on clean and decent clothes and has more or less adapted to dealing with other government officials in the Government Affairs Office, breathed out inaudibly. Now he is no longer nervous standing in such a place. , but until last year, he would still stutter when he saw the knights in the territory.

A few assistants stood quietly aside. These are young people selected by Norris personally - they are literate and know how to grow crops. People who can satisfy both of these are very rare. It's hard to find them, so Norris has been taking them with him whenever he has the opportunity for the past six months, hoping to help these young people grow up as soon as possible.

He knew that he was old - although at this age he was still in the prime of life among extraordinary people, he was not an extraordinary person, and he had suffered too much and suffered too much hunger when he was young. , his problems cannot be remedied by having enough food, clothing, and drinking two bottles of alchemy potion in the past two years. Maybe he will leave this position in a few years.

He didn't have too many regrets about this, because in the past few years, he had lived a good life that he had never dared to imagine in his whole life, but he always felt that this would be a disservice to the lord. Trust - while he is still energetic, he wants to at least train the young people in the Ministry of Agriculture to be able to take charge of their own affairs, and at least to eliminate all the obstacles and mistakes he has encountered since becoming the head of the Ministry of Agriculture. It is possible to tell future generations, and to pass on all the knowledge and experience I have accumulated for half a lifetime...

With such thoughts in the mind of the Minister of Agriculture, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, Immediately afterwards, the door of the office was pushed open, and Godwin Orlando, who had a gray beard, wore a scholar's robe, and had an elegant and calm temperament, opened the door and came in: "Ah, Mr. Norris - I'm very sorry to keep you waiting. I've been really busy recently..."

"Don't say that," Norris hurried forward to greet him - in this land, his identity is equivalent to Godwin Orlando. However, his life experience in the first half of his life has made him habitually regard "scholars" as completely superior people. Now even if they can get along with each other as equals, he will contact them with a kind of respect, "It's the one we have long ago." It's ten minutes now - it's just the right time."

"Please take a seat - gentlemen, all of you.Please sit down," Godwin asked everyone to sit down, and then went straight to the point, "Then we won't waste time - the lord and Lady Hetty have a new plan, it is very important, really, really important, That's why I called you here, and I will also call Mr. Hammer and Miss Jenny here in the afternoon. It requires the cooperation of many people. "

Norris was a little confused for a moment: "Agriculture, smelting, and the Rune Research Institute? "

"Take a look at this first, you will understand soon," Godwin said, opening the desk drawer and taking out a thin booklet from it, "No. Mr. Rees, you should have written this, right? "

Norris took the pamphlet and saw easy-to-understand words printed on it: "Planting and Harvesting of Sweetwood Roots and Bean Crops."

"Of course, this was written by me. The lord asked me to turn my farming experience into a book and teach it to other farmers. I just thought about it and wrote such a... book," Norris said, but there was a bit of shame in his words. Because the person sitting in front of him is a famous scholar in the royal capital. It is really a test of his confidence to talk about the "book" he wrote in front of this scholar who has written countless works, "Why, this... …Is there a problem? "

"Of course there is no problem, and now we need more books," said Godwin Orlando. The face of the great scholar was filled with the brilliance of a young man. "Let us praise The printing press—and, of course, the credit goes to those respectable people who invented it—began the great spread of knowledge. According to the Lord's order, we are going to compile a series of books called 'Basics of All Things', which covers seven major categories including agricultural common sense, magic industry, social common sense, magic common sense, natural common sense, theological common sense and geography and history. , and more may be covered in the future. Mr. Norris, the pamphlet you once wrote is very useful. Many farmers in Cecil City have obtained bumper harvests relying on the knowledge you taught, but now your work has to go one step further——"

Norris Rhys listened carefully to every word of Godwin Orlando. His body was slightly hunched forward. The wrinkles left by the wind and rain on his face for half a lifetime were like ravines in the fields, seeming to record his entire past. After half a lifetime, he suddenly woke up and realized what he should do.

He did have something to pass on -

"Mr. Norris, I am only good at words. I don’t understand farming, so I hope to get help from you and your apprentices for this part of the content,” Godwin Orlando said sincerely. In the past, he would never have thought of asking a farmer for knowledge, but now He had no energy left to think about what was wrong with learning from a farmer - his enthusiasm had been ignited, and now he only had the words "great spread of knowledge" in his mind, "We need your knowledge. "

...

"We need your knowledge..."

In the lounge of the Magic Network Broadcasting Center, Jenny recalled HeMs. Di couldn't help but take a deep breath at what she said. Then she lowered her head and continued to look at the manuscripts and materials that she had spent several nights compiling.

The mechanical bachelors and magic technicians responsible for debugging the machinery and equipment were still busy in the next room. The lounge seemed extremely quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the turning of paper. But at this moment, Jenny Suddenly I felt someone touch my arm.

She raised her head in surprise, only to see Rebecca sitting next to her at some point. The viscountess was holding a stack of paper in one hand and handing it over to her with the other hand. A few candy bars: "Are you nervous? If you're nervous, just eat some candy!"

"Ah...thank you," Jenny said thank you and took the candy bar, then put the candy in her mouth curiously Looking at the paper in Rebecca's hand, "Are you going to...record the 'program' later?"

"Yes, I'll record it behind you," Rebecca shook her hand. The manuscript paper, and then pointed to a pile of machine models placed in the corner, "The identification methods and usage instructions of several common magic machines, as well as the most primitive repulsion piston magic energy engine."

Because they had studied runes together and co-edited the first edition of the "Low-level Spells-Rune Array Comparison Table", Jenny and Rebecca had a good relationship. This one had white hair and was always The rune master who lived in seclusion in the institute did not hide his nervousness: "I...what should I do if I don't know what to say later?"

"Then just record again," Rebecca waved her hand, " It’s not a live broadcast today - you can always succeed if you record a few more times, but the first live broadcast will be done in three days, so you have to be careful by then."

Jenny seems to be a little relaxed. tone, and then couldn't help but sigh: "I really admire Miss Jipri... It is said that her first time was live broadcast."

"Actually, as long as you relax, there is nothing nervous, it's just standing. Just demonstrate a few simple experiments in front of the table, playing with runes, and let everyone see how the most basic runes work. The content you teach apprentices in the institute is much more profound than that - you Can you still teach me?”

“It’s different,” Jenny smiled bitterly and shook her head, “If there were a few apprentices standing around me and asking me to teach them, I wouldn’t be nervous anymore, but just now I I looked at the studio inside... I was really nervous to stand on an empty stage and give a demonstration to a lot of Magic Network terminals and half a room of expressionless technicians, and the thought that those images would be recorded. Come down and be put on the magic network broadcast..."

As Jenny said, she couldn't help but touch her cheek, her nervousness reappearing.

"There is no way, that is to ensure that the details of the experiment can be photographed... But you gave me a reminder. Maybe one or two assistants can come on stage next time to record. It can also reduce tension..." Rebecca's thoughts seemed to be opened up, and she started talking with a happy expression, but just halfway through her words, her eyes fell on JamesNi's face.

This rune master from the Royal Capital, the dean of the Rune Research Institute, and one of the founders of Cecil's magic industry, is unnaturally holding a few strands of long hair around his ears with his hands. .

Jenny deliberately rearranged her long white hair today. The smooth hair hung from the side of her face to her chest, and her hair almost covered half of her face.

However, even so, the eye-catching burn scars were still clearly visible between the gaps in her hair and on her exposed neck.

Obviously, I almost no longer care about these scars, and I don’t cover them up when I work in the institute. However, at this special moment, the rune master obviously still cares about them.

Jenny noticed Rebecca’s gaze and suddenly became even more unnatural. She brushed her hair again and asked with some worry: “Can you still see it like this?”

“I can see it,” Rebecca nodded, “and I will see it no matter what.”

Jenny’s movement of combing her hair suddenly stiffened, and her expression looked frustrated and Disappointed again: "I actually tried Master Pitman's scar removal ointment, but it didn't work at all..."

"Pitman's ointment is almost useless as long as it is sold privately," Rebbe Ka curled his lips, then looked at Jenny seriously, "And I don't think you need to cover them - on the contrary, I think you should show them openly. Of course, this is just my idea."

Jenny looked at herself in surprise as the first friend who crossed the identity barrier and had a frank relationship with her: "Why..."

"Because you are very beautiful," Rebecca She said very frankly, "Really - you are very beautiful. Although you have these scars, they are really not as serious as you think."

Jenny hesitated, she was happy to hear Rui Beca's compliments, but she didn't know if these compliments really belonged to her. During her hesitation, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Are you ashamed of these scars?"

Zhan Ni raised her head in surprise and saw the tall figure.

She stood up in a hurry: "Lord..."

Gawain waved his hand, indicating that Jenny did not need to be polite: "It is your mentor who should be ashamed of these scars, not you—— Of course, whether you choose to cover them or ignore them is your own right, but in my opinion, I don’t think your scars are ugly, nor do I think you need to be ashamed of them.”

Jenny grabbed a few pieces of paper in his hand and stood up in a daze.

Gao Wen looked at her quietly: "You want to spread knowledge, and you should be proud of your knowledge, because behind this knowledge stands the unknown wild mage. There's Mr. Ravencase still standing - you doDo we have to introduce them with trepidation and shame rather than with pride and confidence? "

Rebecca also stood up. She grabbed Jenny's arm hard, with a bright smile on her face: "Come on! ”

Jenny lowered her head and glanced at the few pages of manuscript paper in her hand that were almost torn by her scratches. After a few seconds of silence, she took a deep breath.

Then she pulled up her hair and walked towards the door not far away.

Looking at Jenny’s back, Gawain breathed out slightly: “You have to take the first step. "

"Yes, I also think it's time for her to come out - she is obviously very beautiful," Rebecca muttered, then looked at Gawain curiously, "But having said that, what do you think, Ancestor? Coming too? "

"Hetty is very worried about you," Gawain said helplessly and dumbfounded. "Of course I am also very worried - I am afraid that you will blow up this place. ”

“Wow——”
