Chapter 172: A New Beginning (2)
When the bell rang, Liu Ergou reacted.
I forgot to design a flag for Kitahara Castle!
Fortunately, it seems that the other world does not like ringing the bell and raising the flag, and the others don't seem to pay much attention to it.
However, for the sake of face, Liu Ergou still decided to wait for the ceremony to end and must design a flag for Beiyuan City.
Whether it's dividing the territory or going out to hammer other people's heads, you have to have a name!
Huh? If you want to raise the flag in the future, do you still need to design a city song or something?
As soon as I thought that every major festival in the future, all the people in the city would gather to ring bells, raise flags and sing songs in the square...... Liu Ergou always felt that no matter how he looked like an elementary school principal in this position, he was waiting for a speech or something.
Just when Liu Ergou was thinking like this, the bell rang over.
Liu Ergou thought about it and decided to say a few words.
Although the highlight of the whole festival is still inseparable from the dinner and wine carnival, after all, it is the first festival in Beiyuan City, and there must always be some commemorative significance.
Fortunately, the bell tower is not too high, and after turning on the local transformation, Liu Ergou's voice is not small.
After clearing his throat, Liu Ergou glanced at the crowd again, and slowly spoke:
"Today, let's all gather here to celebrate the first festival of our Beiyuan City: Harvest Day."
"Everyone present is working tirelessly every day to build this city; And in the process, everyone's harvest is different. ”
"Some people have reaped all-you-can-eat rations, others have reaped new clothes; Some people have a place to live in the weather, and some people have gained their other half...... Yes, just a few of you, when you speak, you and I won't drink for a while! ”
Several couples near the corner were pointed at by Liu Ergou, and they immediately received a lot of good-natured laughter.
"In addition to these, everyone has also seen that there are many people from outside who have joined us for various reasons."
Liu Ergou said, pointing to Ya Astun, who looked a little inconspicuous in the crowd.
"Whatever the reason, these people came to our land and made an indelible contribution to the construction of this city with their hands and sweat. I think everyone has seen this. ”
"Including these people, everyone present has obtained the right to live here with dignity by virtue of their own efforts! At this point, each of us can be counted as brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters living in this northern city! ”
In fact, there is no need for Liu Ergou to say that the aborigines here have long been involved with the refugees brought by Dress, and some have even developed a different relationship......
Seeing that many people nodded in agreement, Liu Ergou continued:
"In the future, there will be many people who will come to Kitahara Castle, which we have built, for various reasons. And as long as they can contribute to our city like this, then they are all our brothers and sisters, and they can all live here with dignity! ”
"As your city lord, I don't want to take the city we built together as my own, but to lead you towards a better future!"
"I declare today that every laborer in this city is the master of this city! Every upright citizen is completely equal to each other! ”
"This article is the most fundamental law for our Beiyuan City, and even more cities like this in the future!"
"I hope that in the future, everyone can continue to work together to build our home bigger and better!"
"It's time to eat!"
As Liu Ergou's last sentence fell, the crowd that was originally listening quietly suddenly boiled! Cheer and rush to the piles of food and drinks that have already been laid out in the square!
Some citizens spontaneously organized themselves to celebrate the first festival in Kitahara Castle with singing and dancing!
For a time, the whole square turned into a sea of joy...... And it looks messy......
"That's right, it's much more imposing than my patriarch." Elantst walked over from the side and patted Liu Ergou's elbow approvingly.
Being praised by Elanster, Liu Ergou suddenly became proud, and began to boast unashamedly: "That's, what kind of person is my Lord Zhao!" The dignified lord of the Northern Plains, the future field earl, and the god of war to order the sacrifice ......"
"Okay, you can't remember the war song taught by the gods, but you learn pretty fast when you teach you to brag, right?" Seattle didn't give any face, and immediately demolished Liu Ergou's stage.
"Hey...... The god of war has taught too much by his old man, and it is understandable that I can't remember it," Liu Ergou scratched his head with a smile.
After looking around, Liu Ergou always felt that there were a few people missing, so he turned his head and asked, "What about Buffex and Winston?" I remember being here just now, huh? ”
"Oh, they're going to split up to deliver food and drinks to the guards guarding the city walls and the advancing base," replied Liu Ergou, who was Hoffman, who had just finished drinking mead.
"Drith and Avril went with them, too?"
"No, Avril and I are here." Drissy's voice came from behind Liu Ergou, startling him.
Liu Ergou turned his head, but he was colliding with Avril, Avril suddenly blushed again, and hid behind Dries as soon as she turned around.
As if nothing happened, Dulis stretched out her hand to Liu Ergou and handed Liu Ergou a strange thing, and said, "Well, we just went to test this thing." ”
"This is ......" Liu Ergou took the things in Driss's hand, looked around several times, and didn't see a name.
Specifically, Drith is holding a cube-shaped box. There is nothing special about the box itself, and the material is also ordinary metal.
But on one side of the box, a crystal ball is inlaid with a crystal ball...... It could also be half, after all, Liu Ergou only saw half of the sphere exposed.
On the side adjacent to the crystal ball, there is also a slightly smaller crystal ball. There is also a small handle on each of the two faces adjacent to both crystal balls.
"Aim at that smaller crystal and see what's there?" Delisi said mysteriously to Liu Ergou.
Liu Ergou followed his words and brought one of the crystal balls to his eyes, but only saw a vague white strip of green light.
"Oh yes, I forgot to debug it for you." Listening to Liu Ergou's doubts, Delisi suddenly realized: "Did you see that little handle?" Turn the one on the left and try it. ”
Liu Ergou followed his words again, and slowly turned the handle on the left a few times, and the thing in front of him gradually became clear, turning into a white fence and a large green leaf.
Liu Ergou looked at the fence on the terrace in front of him, and the canopy of the giant tree, the origin of the fence countermeasures, and then figured out what was going on. Without waiting for Driss's further explanation, Liu Ergou began to try to twist the handle on the right side again.
With the rotation of the handle, the focus of the crystal ball began to slowly move downward, until it moved to the ground under Liu Ergou's feet, so the field of vision turned into a blurry white spot again.
After adjusting the handles on the left and right sides at the same time, Liu Ergou finally saw the scene on the square as he wished.
At this point, Liu Ergou can basically determine that this is probably a telescope from another world.
"Huh? You're pretty smart," Delis was also a little surprised to see Liu Ergou fiddling with his invention without a teacher.
"Oh, nothing, I just happened to have used something like that before." Liu Ergou continued to fiddle with the telescope with great interest, casually modestly.
Drissy was surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly asked Liu Ergou, "Have you used something similar before?" I just made it, where have you seen it? ”
"Huh? Oh...... I...... Oh yes, I've seen it in the temple, it's a crystal ball, and it works like that. Liu Ergou hurriedly made up an excuse.
Fortunately, Seattle just went to get a drink, otherwise Liu Ergou would have to show his stuffing.
"Oh, you're talking about the solidified mage's eye, right?" Drissy nodded thoughtfully, then pointed to the things in Liu Ergou's hand, and said very proudly
"That kind of crystal ball can only solidify a mage's eye, and the size and distance of seeing things can't be adjusted, where can it compare to my invention, which is both convenient and flexible!"
"Mage's Eye?" Liu Ergou quietly poked Ellanster next to him, "Hurry up, what is the mage's eye?" ”
Erantster just took a sip of mead, and was almost squirted out by Liu Ergou's words, raised his head and glanced at Liu Ergou, and explained to him in a low voice
"You don't even know this! The Mage's Eye is a basic spell! After activation, you can take it to see things in the distance, so it's called the Mage's Eye! ”
After thinking about it, Ellanster quietly added: "But the farther and clearer you see, the greater the magic power you need, so this spell is generally only learned by military mages, or it is solidified on the crystal ball, and then consumes the magic crystal when you use it." ”
After listening to Elantst's explanation, Liu Ergou was quite curious, turned to Dreyse and asked, "Then you... Well, the box, how do you see something in the distance? ”
"It's called the 'All-Seeing Mirror', and it's my latest invention!" Drissy took the box from Liu Ergou's hand, pointed to the crystal balls on both sides of the box and said, "The principle, in fact, is just a combination of multiple mage eyes." ”
A mirror of all sight? Liu Ergou couldn't help but be happy, how did it sound like an optical store.
This girl's ingenuity is true or false, but the level of her name is really not flattering.
"What are you laughing at?" Seeing Liu Ergou laughing, Delisi thought he was laughing at his invention, and suddenly he was quite dissatisfied, and he was about to threaten!
"No, no, I just think the name is too tongue-twisting, or ...... How about calling it a 'telescope'? ”
Anyway, this is a different world, and Liu Ergou is not worried that someone will come to demolish him at all.
"Telescopes?" Drith thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Then please tell us how your invention can adjust the distance and the angle of view?"
Seeing that Delise was coaxed, Liu Ergou hurriedly and politely asked about the principle, and he was also quite curious about this invention.
"Oh, it's not that hard." As soon as she talked about her invention, Drith came to her senses. "See the two crystal balls on either side? In fact, the eyes of the two mages have been solidified here. ”
Pointing to the handles on both sides, Drith continued to explain, "In this box, there are also a few smaller crystal balls, which have also solidified the mage's eye. ”
"It's just that, limited by the size and magic of the crystal ball, each mage's eye is not very powerful, just a very basic small spell. However, by arranging these mage eyes in a specific order, they can be multiplied. ”
So I made two crank handles, one to control the arrangement, and the other to control the angle of the line of sight, and I ended up with this ...... Hope...... What are you looking for? ”
"Telescope" Liu Ergou added the second half of the sentence for Delis, and then asked: "Then what are these mage eyes driven by?" ”
"Crystal crystal," Drith said, lifting a small lid on the side, revealing a piece of crystal inside.
"Speaking of which, I was able to make this telescope thanks to the rails you brought back. With that batch of materials, I was able to make these delicate miniature mage eyes. ”
"In this way, due to the reduction in size, the mage's eye consumes very little mana, and can be used with only one magic crystal for energy...... However, every two hours of continuous use, you still have to change a magic crystal. ”
"Oh......" Liu Ergou nodded, "It turned out to be electric." ”
"Electric ..... Move? I don't use the thunderbolt magic array here, huh? "Drissy is very strange, why does Liu Ergou always say something inconsequential today?
"Oh, it's okay...... In that case, as long as the magic crystal is inserted, all the mage's eyes will continue to consume energy at the same time? Liu Ergou consciously lost his words and quickly diverted the topic again.
"yes," Drise nodded as she should, "I can't just stick a shard into each mage's eye, can I?" That's too much work, and I can't find a magic crystal that small. ”
"That's just as well." Liu Ergou nodded, there is no solution for the time being.
"Uh-huh"
Seattle just came back with a drink, and coughed lightly, signaling that he had something to say.
