Chapter 0161: Apple Table

Take away a pair of crystal lamps that you have made.

When he returned to the castle, Liszt ordered his servants to install the crystal lamps in his study. The lamps made of white crystal emit a gentle white light, much like natural light, although not as strong as sunlight. A single crystal lamp is as bright as ten candles.

"It's about 50 watts of incandescent light, it's not strong enough, it's better to install two more. ”

In a house, installing three crystal lamps is the most suitable brightness. More glaring, less dim. These crystal lamps can be lit for years and stay on. It can also be designed as a crystal lamp that can be switched on and off at any time, but that requires a high level of technical carving and is not cost-effective.

The value of the crystal is indeed high, but the price is not unacceptably high.

With hundreds of crystal lamps in Tulip Castle, it is a castle of light that never falls into darkness. Many aristocrats liked to carve tableware with crystal, and after the partition, Liszt also got a set of exquisite crystal tableware, although the magic power had been exhausted, it was used to entertain VIPs, and it still stood out.

"You also have to install a crystal lamp in the bedroom, and then you have to install a lampshade, so that you don't need to turn off the lights, just turn off the lampshade, which is equivalent to turning off the lights. "He used to sleep in the dark, with the lights on, he couldn't sleep.

Command the servants and correct the position of the crystal lamp.

Pinched his fingers and silently calculated, at Granny's speed, it would take about three to five days to make ten crystal lamps. Ten lamps can maintain the use of five rooms at most, but he doesn't plan to increase them, so it is better to keep a low profile by taking out so many crystals at one time.

Besides, three lamps in the study, two lamps in the living room, two lamps in the dining room, two lamps in the bedroom, and one lamp in the bathroom are enough for him.

"Sir, Mr. Marcus is here and is waiting for you in the living room. Carter walked over.

"Did Mr. Marcus say anything?"

"He came to report on the knightly training of the serf children. ”

Liszt thought for a moment, and said, "Let Karl Hammer and Rom Barrel be called, and call my twelve knights, I will hold a meeting." ”

Downstairs.

Met Marcus.

"My lord, Marcus greets you. ”

"Good day. Liszt let Thomas arrange his bow tie as he said, "Mr. Marcus, let's go talk under the apple tree, and I've invited the others to a meeting to discuss knightly training." ”

The apple tree is a wild fruit tree not far from the entrance of the castle.

There were stone benches and wooden tables under the trees, and Liszt often read books or think about problems under the trees. Unfortunately, this season, the apples are already ripe. So he couldn't learn Newton for the time being, was hit in the head by an apple, and then figured out such an epoch-making law as gravity.

When next year, when apples will bear on the tree, he will definitely have to think about astronomy, physics, magic, and fighting spirit under the tree.

"Apples are a good thing, and three apples can change the world. Liszt sat down and smiled and pointed to the apple tree.

Marcus wondered: "Apples are delicious, but how did it change the world?"

"Do you know how humans came to be?"

"We are the rulers of nature, born at the same time as this continent, my lord. ”

Well, looking at Marcus's serious answer, Liszt suddenly felt bored, this earth knight is not an object to show humor. So he made a long story short: "There is a legend that the first two people ate apples and created the current human race. ”

Marcus asked, "Then why did three apples change the world?"

Stealing Forbidden Fruit, Gravity, iPhone...... Liszt regretted opening the topic a little, so he had to talk nonsense: "Later, some people ate apples to cultivate fighting spirit, and some people ate apples to create magic. Of course, these are all legends, and from the point of view of knightly novels, the authors of those novels have a good imagination. ”

"Those magicians, they can't change the world, the world belongs to the knights!"

“......”

for a moment.

Karl and Rohm had arrived, and the knights had circled under the apple tree.

Looking at Marcus, Karl, and Roma, as well as the knights standing upright, Liszt suddenly thought of King Arthur and his round table. This fictional king of ancient Britain liked to have meetings with his knights around a round table, and Europeans wrote a lot about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

Little Japan also has a lot of ** about King Arthur.

"If one day in the future, I ascend the throne as king, will this table under the apple tree be called the Apple Table by future generations, the Apple Table Conference? Will the patriarchs Marcus, Karl, and Rohm be called the Apple Knights by future generations? Maybe directly called the Apple Knights?"

Thoughts are fleeting.

He said seriously: "Teacher Marcus, the grouping of serf children has ended?"

"Yes, my lord, out of three hundred fifty-four young children, and twenty-six out of the deformed and untrainable ones, three hundred and twenty-eight remained, one hundred and sixty-nine boys, and one hundred and fifty-nine girls. Following the instructions of the adults, I divided the girls into separate groups and the boys into passing and failing groups. ”

"The girls' group was handed over to Roma for training. Liszt made a direct decision, "The purpose of the training is to make them physically fit and healthy, so that they can arrange work in the future. ”

Rom immediately stood up and saluted: "As you wish, Roma will train these girls strictly!"

Women's cultivation of fighting spirit is not the mainstream, at least most lords choose knights, and they will choose boys. However, it is not fixed, and there are many lords who train female knights...... Her sister Li Vera trained a group of girls to form a squad of female knights, and of course she trained more boys.

Liszt did not train girls to form a squad of female knights.

Rather, it is hoped that women will also increase their strength and do some heavy work in the future, or in other words, completely contract the work of farming, and liberate the male labor force. Men can work as workers in workshops, and they can do more physically demanding jobs such as building roads, bridges, and shipbuilding.

More importantly, when a woman's physique becomes stronger, the difficulty of giving birth will be reduced, and the survival rate of babies will be greatly improved.

In addition, there is another point - if there are really a few talented female knights, they can be accepted as subordinate knights, and if they are white-skinned and beautiful female knights, and then adjusted to personal guards, wouldn't it be beautiful.

"The failing group was given to Carl for training. ”

Liszt put away his careful thoughts and continued: "The training of the failing group, like the girls' group, is to strengthen the body, and it is best to cultivate the fighting spirit. In the future, among this group of people, those who have a fighting spirit can be included in the patrol team and the insect protection team, and those who do not have a fighting spirit can build roads and bridges. ”

Karl got up and took the order: "As you wish!"

"In the end, the passing group will be handed over to Mr. Marcus for training, and they are the candidates for the future knights of the realm guard. Philip, Xavier, you guys rotate from the Cavaliers to assist Mr. Marcus and train the passing group...... I think the passing group should be divided into several groups according to the age level and trained separately. ”

Marcus nodded: "It can be divided into a group under the age of six, which mainly trains etiquette and basic skills, a group between the ages of six and eight, which mainly cultivates fighting spirit and loyalty, and a group of eight years old and above, which mainly trains courage and riding charge." ”
