Chapter 53: Is it good to have a face?
But Lundessa and Sith, Nioz and others, who understood the meaning of paper, were excited.
This world has long had paper, and layers of parchment are uncovered with animal skin, the most common being parchment. There are also woven silk paper, thick birch bark paper, brittle papyrus, etc., all of which are very expensive without exception.
This is very detrimental to the spread of knowledge, because it is expensive, and knowledge will only be in the hands of the powerful, forming a knowledge monopoly class, and only cheaper access to knowledge can break this monopoly.
This kind of worthless grass growing in the swamp can produce a pile of paper in half a month, and there is no doubt that it will become a cheaper carrier of knowledge, and when it is popularized, it will have a major impact on the existing inherent class.
This is a major invention that can change the entire human society.
Of course, Luo Qiu knew the meaning of paper, didn't those enemies hiding in dark corners want to discredit the undead?
You sell a code of laws for fifty gold coins, and I sell a code of laws for gold coins, and then see who smears whom.
Even if there is no point in looking for the black hand behind the scenes, then it is better to crush it directly with technology.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Rox rushed in: "The ink is adjusted." ”
There are already a variety of pigments in this world, plant-based, mineral, water-based, oily, and as an alchemist, it is not very difficult to mix an ink suitable for printing
Even if Locks can't be adjusted, Luo Qiu also has an alternative, but after all, he is the king, and he can't do everything himself, and list the requirements and parameters for his subordinates to solve, which is the correct way to open a 'king'.
After comparing the advantages and disadvantages of movable type and engraving, Luo Qiu finally chose clay printing, because the magicians in this world are too powerful.
Movable type printing required a large number of literate typesetters, and in these days, literacy was almost equal to that of nobles or mages, and it was impossible to find such workers.
And the clay plate is easy to do, the grinding and finely crushed mud ball is flattened on the template, any magician above the third level can urge the surface of the clay mold to bulge one by one, even if it is not an earth magician, it doesn't matter, because driving the earth element is a magic that can be learned by a magic apprentice, and magicians above the third level of other departments can learn it in a night or two.
The biggest difficulty is the reverse of the text. If it is to be printed on paper, the clay text must be reversed, which can make a bunch of people scratch their heads.
In the end, you have to write out the words first, and paste them on the clay tablet so that people can engrave them, because the undead can see through the paper.
After a few pieces of experimental paper were printed, Longsad asked with some impatience: "Your Majesty, what are we going to print? The Code of the Necromancy? Printing tens of thousands of copies, it will be much easier for humans to learn necromancy in the future." ”
"No, let's print this first. Luo Qiu took out a thin little book, which was full of small characters the size of his fingers, judging from the handwriting, it was obviously hastily written after the paper was made, and the strokes were a little sloppy.
But that doesn't matter, what matters is a few big words on the page, which scares Lonzard and the others stupid - the legend of the King of Steel Bones.
There is also a line of small print underneath: The King of Steel Bones himself said, the Great Sage Lonzard sorted it out, and sixty-four high-level undead creatures proofread it to ensure that the content is true and correct.
"This ...... This...... This ...... "Ronsad no longer knows what to say." The King of Steel Bones writes a legend for himself, is there such an operation?
For a while, words such as boasting, shamelessness, and gibberish rose in everyone's hearts. What else is Lonzard tidying up, sixty-four proofreading, phew, they're all seeing this thing for the first time.
Although I am not ashamed in my heart, but when I calm down and think about it, everyone also thinks that Luo Qiu's book is very poisonous, who is the King of Steel Bones, an existence that lives longer than the human history of the entire continent, when there is the King of Steel Bones, the human beings on the continent have no writing.
Doesn't that mean that no matter what Luo Qiu says in the book, he will become part of the official history of the mainland, which is amazing, writing history.
"But...... , will anyone watch it?" I don't know who asked weakly.
"Nobody is looking, what are you kidding. Do you know what IP is? I'm the biggest IP in the continent. Luo Qiu Niu said angrily.
Don't look at the King of Steel Bones has not stepped out of the Steel Bone Collar for hundreds of years, but his legend on the continent has not decreased because of this, but has become more and more mysterious.
And he named the word 'legend' on the title of the book, because he didn't intend to write it realistically at all, but added a certain amount of artistic processing and exaggeration, and used the rhythm and writing method of the previous life of online novels.
For example, the beginning of the book is: I am the king of steel bones, I was born in the extreme south of the continent, and it has been more than 13,000 years since I .......
The first-person writing method has been used badly in the previous life, but for readers who have not been exposed to novels, this is the most direct way to create a strong sense of substitution, and one sentence can allow everyone to substitute for the magnificent life of the King of Steel Bones.
It is interspersed with some passages that the masses like to see, such as a chapter that says: This succubus likes me very much, and she says that she doesn't mind that I am a bone frame, after all, I still have hands.
Of course, they did not forget to discredit the Church of Light: "They cleaned the little girls they adopted, sent them into the rooms of the powerful and high-ranking members of the church, and gave them hallucinogenic drugs in advance, and the girls in question did not know what was going on, but thought that they were bathing in the holy light that night." ”
But this is not a smear, the Church of Light did do this kind of thing at that time, and not only little girls, but also many little boys.
In short, the whole book is nine points true and one point false, and the fake ones are all fake in key places, directly shaping the King of Steel Bones into an image of righteousness and bravery, chivalry, compassion and bravery.
tells how the king of steel bones fights monsters and upgrades, pretends to be forked and slapped in the face, and collects little brothers and bubble girls everywhere, and at first glance you know that it is fake, but it can't stand the reader's love to watch.
Even if you don't add artistic exaggeration, the life of the King of Steel Bones is also a magnificent life, and after adding some small skills, it is even more fascinating and unstoppable.
The lich undead who read the draft flipped through it, and couldn't help but scold: "Shameless, how can you be so shameless, Your Majesty, it was you who cut me down and forced me to dedicate the fire of my soul, but why did you come here but I admired your heroism, and took the initiative to bring the undead army under your command to take refuge, bah, do you want to make a face." ”
