The imposing words were said by Cepesz with confidence.

If it were the usual old Joseph, he would definitely be able to realize that there was a misunderstanding in the communication through this passage.

However, at this time, he was preoccupied, how could he make a calm judgment and analysis.

A series of misunderstandings kept things off track.

In the face of the anger of the big man, old Joseph fell to his knees and pleaded with tears in his eyes:

"My lord, I don't have any other luxury, I just ask you to let me die with dignity, and don't affect my family."

Tsepesh, who was sulking, showed a bewildered expression on his face.

This is the so-called kingly spirit? casually scolded, and some people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Self-righteous and secretly refreshed, but soon, he dismissed the idea.

"Stand up, I just want you to polish the lenses, and I didn't say I'm going to kill you, what's the situation?"

Tsepesh's tone softened, and now it was the turn of old Joseph with a bewildered face.

He asked, somewhat uncertainly:

"Don't you need to do anything other than polish your lenses?"

"In these boxes, there are tools for making brass glasses frames, I'll draw a pattern, and you can see if you can make it."

As he spoke, Tsepesz walked over to his desk and drew the pattern of binoculars on paper.

After a moment's thought, he drew a telescope again, and then handed over the two drawings to Joseph.

"The ends of the brass straight leg should be embedded in the polished lenses. The one of the monoculars should be retractable in the middle.

If you can make it, I'll leave it all to you, so I don't have to go to someone else. ”

"I can make it, my lord, can you forgive me if you make it?"

Old Joseph looked at the two drawings, gritted his teeth, replied, and asked questions.

At this time, he also saw that the young man in front of him really didn't seem to want his life, and he didn't have dirty ideas.

"Why do you always think I'm going to kill you, do I look like an indiscriminate murderer!?"

Although he knew that there must have been a misunderstanding, Cepes deliberately asked the question with a fierce look.

"No, my lord! You look ...... Very pleasant. ”

It is a bit difficult for an honest man to forcibly say flattering words.

The moodiness of the big man once again made him panic.

"You should answer handsome and chic, forget it, don't scare you, tell me about your experience of this day."

Figuring out the character of old Joseph, Tsepeš sat back on the small sofa, intending to resolve all misunderstandings.

Next, old Joseph poured out the bitter water and recounted the tragic experience of the day in detail.

After listening to his narration, Cepeš couldn't cry or laugh, and finally could only spread his hands and say:

"Work steadfastly, no one will kill you, and on your family's side, I will also send someone to settle down.

Wait for the things I want to be done well, the cost and manual costs, a single denier will not be missing you.

In addition, depending on the quality of the finished product, I will give you an additional reward, for example, to become a special advisor to the Basarab family. ”

"You...... You say, let me be a special advisor to the Basarab family? ”

Happiness came too suddenly, from hell to heaven, in less than a minute.

Old Joseph, who was a little sluggish, could not believe his ears, and had the audacity to confirm it with Cepes.

"That's right, I'll introduce myself, my name is Vlad."

"Your Excellency! Please forgive me for my previous offense. ”

Joseph had already guessed the identity of Tepes, but at this moment he still fell to his knees in shock.

"Again, I don't want to repeat it, hurry up and get things done."

Joseph Sr. was given some time to calm down, and then Tsepeš made specific demands on the work.

"All lenses should be polished into convex lenses, and the large lenses in front use thin glass, and the difference in thickness between the center and edge of the lens is smaller.

For the smaller lenses at the back, use thicker glass, with a larger difference in thickness to shorten the focal length.

Wait for the lens to be polished, measure the focal length, and then make the brass part. ”

To make a telescope, only some simple physical knowledge is needed, and the appearance of the telescope was advanced by more than a hundred years.

Joseph Sr., who has more than 30 years of experience, does not understand the principle, but he can understand the meaning of Tepesh.

Forgetting all the unpleasantness of not so long ago, he went to work.

With his feet on the pedals and the lenses in both hands, he rhythmically grinds on the sand wheel, occasionally blowing away the glass shards.

It only took an hour to polish all four convex lenses.

Tsepes held it in his hand and compared it in pairs, each pair of lenses as if they had been pulled out of a mold.

This is the kind of experienced craftsman who has accumulated over decades to reach this level.

After complimenting Joseph, Cepes took the lens and measured the focal length, and then determined the length of the telescope according to the length of the focal length.

A new drawing with specific values was handed to Joseph, who made a gesture out of thin air and began to work on it.

Making a copper frame for a telescope is actually not much different from making a frame for glasses, but the workload is slightly larger.

Finding the tools for making the frames of the glasses, preparing the uncut copper plates, Joseph Sr. moved skillfully and quickly with his calloused hands.

The outline of the binoculars began to take shape, and the middle junction was wound with fine copper wires.

The position of the inlaid lenses was carefully chiseled out by Joseph with a small chisel.

The polished lenses are embedded in the indentations, and the notches that were left before are gently pinched with small pliers to lock the lenses firmly.

Theoretically, the telescope is already finished, but for an old craftsman, this is not enough.

All the edges and corners of the telescope were smoothed by Joseph with a small file.

In the middle of the joint, he brushed the protective oil with a small brush, and then covered it with a thin layer of fine leather.

If he had enough time, he would have engraved beautiful patterns on the telescope, and even added the initials of his own name.

When all the work was done, it was already dark, and as after the day's work, old Joseph moved his stiff neck.

The next moment, he realized that he was in the palace of Curtea, and immediately stopped his movements and stood facing Cepes in a proper manner.

At this moment, Tepes was sitting behind his desk sucking noodles, and there was a bowl on the table, which was prepared for Joseph.

"Come here, eat something, I guess you haven't eaten for a day."

Tsepes gestured to another bowl of noodles, then held out his right hand.

Old Joseph was flattered and stood in place at a loss.

He never dreamed that in his life, he would be able to eat at the Palace of Curteau, and he was personally invited by the Grand Duke.

Looking at the old man, who was about to shed tears of emotion, Cepes's outstretched right hand hooked it twice, and said:

"Give me the stuff, and then sit aside and go to eat, from today onwards, you are the special advisor of the Basarab family."

Tsepes gave Joseph an honor, and this honor, in addition to the need for craftsmanship, has more additional requirements.
