Chapter 613: Angry and ruined

The reason for this lies in the cost. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The first issue of the "Age of Cullen" newspaper was very limited, because all the newspapers were printed on parchment, which was very costly, and if it weren't for the orc attack on Evta and leaving too many sheep for logistics, it is estimated that Roddy would not have found enough raw materials to put it in.

Thus the first issue of the newspaper that Mirno saw had been specially paid for by the butler from elsewhere, for there were thirty or forty of them in the whole city.

The newspaper made Mirno furious, and he realized that he could not be so passive, so he found someone to publish a similar newspaper in the same way a week ago, called "Royal Weekly".

The above content is basically a refutation of the content of the first issue of "The Age of Cullen", and at the same time praises the great exploits of Charles II - which naturally flattered the emperor and received a lot of praise.

But Mirno also paid for the issuance of nearly a thousand gold coins - the 2,000 pieces of parchment urgently drawn and the remuneration for a large number of people to copy the contents of the newspaper is not a small amount. Hiring a group of aristocratic children to copy newspapers is definitely not cheap...

However, what he didn't expect was that the material of the second issue of "Karen Era" changed. This kind of newspaper is light to the touch and uniform in color, and the butler only needs to go out and walk around, and he can see it from the residents and nobles who know how to read.

In contrast, due to the difficulty of copying, the second issue of "Royal Weekly" has just produced 500 copies, which is not at all in the same order of magnitude as the circulation of more than 5,000 copies...

And less than three days later, when the third issue of "The Age of Karen" was announced ahead of schedule, the housekeeper finally realized... Something seems to have changed from quantitative to qualitative.

Almost everyone on the street had a brand new copy of the Cullen Age - though most of them were wiping their butts - but it was undeniable that the newspaper was far more popular than anyone expected!

The number of newspapers that can be found in Bergen's territory alone is more than 10,000, and this is not yet counted in other parts of the kingdom, but according to previous experience, it is a fact that its total circulation exceeds 30,000.

From beginning to end, Mirno was paying for the publication of the Royal Weekly, in order to minimize the impact of this newspaper on the aristocracy - to put it bluntly, his primary goal was to show the aristocracy, not that he did not want to take care of the common people, but that he simply did not have so many resources to produce so many newspapers.

But now, the newspapers from Evta poured out of the kingdom as if they didn't want money, and the effect was to poop in the cowshed, and the peasants could be heard talking about how high the walls of Evta were, how thick the armor of the soldiers was...

Mirno had a ridiculous feeling that thousands of gold coins had been wasted - and what he couldn't accept most was the discrepancy in the content of the newspaper.

Although the "Royal Weekly" wrote as many articles as possible to whitewash the peace, the content was really full of flowers and dry goods. At a glance, there are dense words in the past, and the really useful content adds up to less than three sentences. And most of the other articles are bragging about the emperor, and there are no dry goods at all, only full of adjectives.

On the other hand, in the Age of Cullen, each issue and article has a distinct point of view and theme, accompanied by data that seems authentic and even attributed to the source, even if you are not interested in the article, you can get a lot of information from it without knowing it at a glance.

And half a month has passed, and the influence of "Karen Era" among the people has initially appeared, and more than seven nobles in Mirno's team have chosen to quit, which makes him, who was originally not abundant, almost become the commander of the light pole!

He had announced five days earlier that he was going to let the party go, but the other nobles in the group were delaying for all sorts of reasons... After delaying until today, there is a sign of an early collapse!

How could Mirno not be angry? How could he have imagined that such a newspaper full of words would have such an impact...

"At least the Pit Viper Cross is still on my side..."

He tried to breathe steadily, and said to the butler: "Prepare my suit, bring all the soldiers I can bring, it seems that I will not appear in front of them, these guys are not going to move a step at all." ”

Mirno didn't realize how stupid his behavior was for a war layman, he just casually continued to ask: "The war has been characterized as a 'war of conquest', and the Magus will naturally have the obligation to go to war, when will I let the mages I contact take place?"

This question made the butler pause, he lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Master... I contacted all the Magisters, but they... They can't say they can't fight. ”

Mirno frowned and looked back: "They don't have something to do, but can't they send a dozen apprentices to help?"

"Sir, what do they mean... None of the mages will be involved in this war, and I asked them why, saying that they had just signed a pact with Evta, and that they had to obey—"

"Fuck it!"

Mirno slammed the door away, and with a pale face, he directly ordered the carriage to go to the imperial city - he didn't believe it, what kind of bullshit mage who signed an agreement with the enemy at the moment of war had the right to refuse to serve the country!

"Quick! Record the data!"

Magister Kron's usual serious look was not at all at this time, his eyes were firmly fixed on the white smoke of the ice crystals emitting from the magic circle in front of him, and he commanded the laboratory assistants around him while casting spells.

The focused magician didn't care about the passage of time, his experiment had been going on for eighteen hours, and he had only taken a few sips of water and stuffed two mouthfuls of bread from beginning to end—this was naturally because the experiment was going so fast at the moment, and even he didn't expect it to be so smooth...

The biggest contributor to this is naturally the "Charged Crystals" that have just been transported from Ivta.

"Mentor, the record is complete!"

Velda, who looked tired but did not dare to slack off in the slightest, responded loudly, and finally made Crohn exhale with satisfaction:

"Whew... Okay, the experiment went well, let's take a break today. ”

Krohn turned his head to look out the window, only then did he realize that it was midnight, so he waved his hand: "Let's go to the restaurant to add food, it's hard today." ”

In the midst of a suppressed cheer, Krohn cautiously came to the circle, personally took out the charged spar on it that had not been exhausted, and gently put it back into the box after a few unfinished glances.

"Mentor, the hedron still has energy, according to the standard disposal process, shouldn't these be discarded..."

An assistant next to him asked a strange question, but was glared at by Crohn: "Scrap?!Do you know how much it cost me to get these hedrons..." )
