In the government office, the administrative center of Cecil City, Norris arrived at the office of the Ministry of Information and Propaganda with several of his assistants.

Once upon a time, this honest peasant, who had worked with the land and the crops for most of his life, could not have imagined that he would one day stand in such a room—a spacious and bright building, a place for the big men to work, a sturdy and beautiful desk and chair, a bookshelf full of books and files, and a magic crystal lamp on the roof, which in the past could not have been possible in the great house of the lord of the manor—and yet now he was standing very here.

Moreover, he was still the head of the agricultural department, the one who managed the farming for the lord - in the old words, "the upper class".

Norris, who had changed into clean and decent clothes and was more or less accustomed to dealing with other government officials in the government department, exhaled imperceptibly, now he was not nervous standing in such a place, but until last year, he would still stutter when he saw the knights in the territory.

Several assistants stood quietly aside, these were young people selected by Norris personally - they were literate and knew how to grow crops, and it was very difficult to find someone who could meet both of these things, so Norris would take them with him whenever he had the opportunity for most of the past six months, wanting to let these young people grow up as soon as possible.

He knew that he was old - although such an age was still in the prime of life among the transcendents, he was not an extraordinary, and he had suffered too much and suffered too much hunger when he was young, and his body was ill that could not be compensated for by feeding and dressing him and drinking two bottles of alchemy potions in the past two years, and perhaps in a few years, he would leave this position.

In this regard, he does not have too many regrets, because in the past few years, he has lived a good life that he has never dared to think of in his life, but he always feels that he will be sorry for the trust of the lord - he wants to at least train these young people of the Ministry of Agriculture to be able to take charge of himself when he is still energetic, at least he must tell future generations as much as possible about the ditches and mistakes he encountered after becoming the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, and pass on all the knowledge and experience he has accumulated for half a lifetime......

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

"Don't say that," Norris hurriedly stepped forward - in this land, his identity and Godwin?? Orlando is equal, but the experience of life in the first half of his life has made him habitually regard "scholars" as full superior people, and now even if they can get along as equals, he will contact each other with a kind of respect, "We arrived ten minutes early - now the time is just right." ”

"Sit down—gentlemen, all of you," Godwin beckoned everyone to sit down, and then got straight to the point, "then we'll not waste any time—the lord and Miss Herty have a new plan, and it's very important, really, very, very important, that's why I'm calling you here, and I'll be calling Mr. Hammer and Miss Jenny in the afternoon, and it will require the cooperation of a lot of people." ”

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

"Let's take a look at this, you'll soon understand," Godwin said as he opened the desk drawer and pulled out a thin pamphlet, "Mr. Norris, this must have been written by you, right?" ”

Norris took the booklet and saw that it was printed with easy-to-understand words: "Sweet Roots and Planting and Harvesting of Legume Crops."

"Of course, I wrote it, and the lord asked me to turn the experience of farming into a booklet and teach it to other farmers, so I wrote it myself...... books," Norris said, but there was some shame in his words, for he was sitting in front of him a scholar who was a well-known scholar in the royal capital, and it was a very confident thing for him to talk about the "book" he had written in front of this scholar who had written countless books, "Why, this...... Questions? ”

"Of course there is no problem, and now we need more brochures," Godwin?? Orlando said, with a youthful glow on the scholar's face, "Let's praise the printing press — and certainly the venerable people who invented it — and the great spread of knowledge begins." According to the orders of the lords, we are going to compile a series of books called 'The Basis of All Things', which covers seven categories, including agricultural knowledge, magic industry, social knowledge, magic knowledge, natural knowledge, theological knowledge, and geography and history, and there may be more in the future. Mr. Norris, this pamphlet that you have written is very useful, and there are many peasants in the city of Cecil who have reaped their harvest on the knowledge you have taught, but now you have to go one step further—"

Norris listened carefully to Godwin?? Every word of Orlando, his body leaned forward slightly, and the wrinkles left on his face by the wind and rain for half his life were like ravines in the field, as if recording the entire first half of his life, and in a trance, he suddenly woke up and realized what he should do.

He does have something to pass on—

"Mr. Norris, I'm only good at writing and don't know anything about farming, so I'd like to get help from you and your apprentices on this part," Godwin?? Orlando said sincerely that in the past, he would never have thought of seeking knowledge from a farmer, but now he simply has no energy to think about what is wrong with learning from a farmer - his enthusiasm has been ignited, and now the words "the great spread of knowledge" are in his mind, "We need your knowledge." ”

……

"We need your knowledge......"

In the break room of the Magic Network Broadcasting Center, Jenny couldn't help but take another deep breath as she recalled what Ms. Herty had said to herself a few days ago, and then she lowered her head and continued to look at the manuscripts and materials that she had spent several nights compiling.

The mechanics and wizards in charge of debugging the machines were still busy in the next room, and the lounge was so quiet that only the sound of paper could be heard, but at that moment, Jenny suddenly felt someone touch her arm.

She looked up in surprise, only to see that Rebecca was already sitting beside her at some point, the viscount was holding a stack of papers in one hand, and handing over a few sugar cubes in the other: "Nervous?" If you're nervous, eat some sugar! ”

"Ah...... Thank you," Jenny said thanks as she took the candy cube, then put it in her mouth while looking curiously at the paper in Rebecca's hand, "You have to wait a minute...... Record a 'show'? ”

"yes, I'll record it after you," Rebecca shook the manuscript paper in her hand, then pointed to a pile of machine models in the corner, "Several common magic machine identification methods and instructions, as well as the most primitive repulsive piston magic engine. ”

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

"Then re-record," Rebecca waved her hand, "It's not a live broadcast today - a few more recordings will always be successful." But you're going to have your first live stream in three days, so you'll have to be careful then. ”

Jenny seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but sigh: "I really admire Miss Jipley...... It is said that her first time was a live broadcast. ”

"Actually, as long as you relax, there's nothing to be nervous about, it's just a matter of standing in front of the stage and demonstrating a few of the simplest little experiments, fiddling with runes, and letting everyone see how the most basic runes work, and the content you teach with apprentices in the academy is much more profound than that—can't you still teach it well?"

"It's different," Jenny shook her head with a wry smile, "I wouldn't be nervous if I had a few apprentices standing next to me and let me give them a lecture, but I looked at the studio just now...... I was a little nervous to stand on an empty desk and present to a whole bunch of magic web terminals and half a room of expressionless technicians. And the thought that those images would be recorded and put into the magic network broadcast......"

Jenny couldn't help but touch her cheek as she spoke, and the nervousness resurfaced.

"No way, that's to make sure that the details of the experiment can be filmed...... But you gave me a wake-up call, maybe you can get one or two assistants on stage next time you record, you can play a little bit and reduce tension......" Rebecca's train of thought seemed to be opened, and she began to pull up with a happy expression, but she was just halfway through when her eyes fell on Jenny's face.

This rune master from the royal capital, the director of the Rune Research Institute, and one of the founders of Cecil's magic industry, was unnaturally holding a few strands of long hair around his ears with his hands.

Jenny had deliberately re-combed her long white hair today, the silky strands hanging from the sides of her cheeks to her chest, and the hair almost obscured half of her face.

Even so, the striking burn scars were still visible between the cracks in her hair, on her exposed neck.

Obviously, she hardly cares about these scars anymore on weekdays, and she doesn't deliberately cover them up when she works at the research institute, but at this special moment, this rune master lady obviously still cares.

Jenny noticed Rebecca's gaze, and suddenly became even more unnatural, she pulled her hair again, and asked a little uneasily, "Is this ...... Can you still see it? ”

"See," Rebecca nodded, "and will see it anyway." ”

Jenny's movements of pulling her hair stiffened, and her expression looked frustrated and disappointed: "I actually tried Master Pittman's scar removal ointment, but it didn't work at all......"

"Pitman's ointments are almost useless as long as they are sold privately," Rebecca pouted, then looked at Jenny earnestly, "and I don't think you need to cover them up—instead, I think you should show them generously." Of course, that's just what I think. ”

Jenny looked at her first friend who crossed the identity barrier and was honest with her: "Why ......?"

"Because you're beautiful," Rebecca said calmly, "really—you're beautiful, and even though you have these scars, they're not as bad as you think." ”

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

Jenny looked up in surprise and saw the tall figure.

She hurriedly got up: "Lord......"

Gawain waved his hand, signaling that Jenny didn't need to be polite: "It's your mentor who should be ashamed of these scars, not you—of course, it's your own right to choose to cover them or ignore them, but in my opinion, I don't think you're ugly about these scars, and I don't think you need to be ashamed of them." ”

The door to the studio opened, and a technician stepped out of it and said to Jenny, "Miss Jenny - the machine is ready, we can start at any time." ”

Jenny grabbed a few pieces of paper from her grip and stood up a little dazed.

Gawain looked at her quietly: "You are going to spread knowledge, and you should be proud of your knowledge, because behind this knowledge stands the nameless wild mage, and Mr. Ravenkes—are you sure you want to introduce them with apprehension and shame, rather than pride and confidence?" ”

Rebecca also stood up, she grabbed Jenny's arm hard, and with a big smile on her face: "Come on!" ”

Jenny glanced down at the pages of the paper in her hand, which had been scratched by her, and after a few seconds of silence, she took a deep breath.

Then, she pulled back her hair and strode to the door not far away.

Looking at Jenny's back, Gawain exhaled slightly: "You always have to take the first step." ”

"yes, I think it's time for her to come out—she's beautiful," Rebecca muttered, then looked at Gawain curiously, "But then again, why are you here too, Ancestor?" ”

"Hetty is not worried about you," Gawain said helplessly, "of course I'm not worried about you—I'm afraid you've blown up this place." ”

"Wow-"
