After there was one more person on the couch, the pad suddenly bent down a lot and made a soft creaking sound.
It seems that the store should be reminded to strengthen this thing a little bit, Victor thought, although the big bed is placed in the corner of the room, but sometimes not everything has to be done on the bed, and changing the place is often unexpectedly wonderful than the two. In the King's Capital, the taverns here still lack some heritage.
After a while, Linglong had already packed up the drinks and spread out the newspaper in front of him.
"This is..." Victor couldn't help raising his brows, and saw that the paper was neatly covered with densely packed small characters, just like those ancient books treasured in his family!
Since he was a child, he believed that his vision was extraordinary, and he had not only seen most of the strange things in the world, but even played with them himself. Usually a commodity is placed in front of him, and he can immediately judge the approximate value of it, but the newspaper made Victor hesitant.
Such neat and detailed handwriting is unlikely to be handwritten. In other words, it is almost nine times out of ten that it uses a stereotyped embossing technique. Considering the cost of the latter, the makers generally only use it for important and fresh. On dossier books with less modification, such as the Code of Kingdoms.
This is where the problem lies. In order to achieve the best embossing effect, such books will use the best materials possible. The lambskin that has never been shaved can only be regarded as a basic requirement. The cover is inlaid with gold and gemstones. There are a lot of them, highlighting the luxury and extraordinary, but also ensuring sufficient durability.
But what is this newspaper? The paper is obviously ordinary gray straw paper, which varies in thickness and melts when it gets wet. It has neither a cover nor any protection measures for the edges and corners. To him, this move was like forcibly stuffing a night pearl into an iron ingot.
Victor couldn't help but remember what the maid said before. The king intends to use this thing to replace the publicity announcement, which means that it will print new content in the future
After asking the doubts in his heart, he got a positive answer from the other party.
"Yeah, the announcement said at the time that the newspaper would issue an issue every other week, and the number would only increase to ensure that most people could see it."
And a serving is only ten copper eagles.
He began to wonder how much wealth His Majesty Roland had collected in Hermes, such a thing that once made a loss, the other party actually wanted to do it for a long time
The gem merchants who thought that there might be business opportunities here have now dismissed the idea without a trace.
What about him, Victor murmured to himself, it wasn't his money that was spent anyway, so why did the other party make or lose money? Still focus on reading the newspaper.
With this thought in mind, he shifted his gaze to the first page.
At the top is a line of bolded headlines: "Greycastle Weekly".
Next, the entire page contains the news that the king is about to ascend to the throne, and that the Kingdom of Dawn and Greycastle have signed a covenant to fight the devil together.
He had already heard of these contents, but only to the extent that he knew that this was the case.
After just two lines, Victor was completely immersed in it.
The content above made him feel like he was holding his breath.
It was the first time he had seen such detailed descriptions of these two major events from a high-level perspective. Unlike the gossip circulating in the streets, the newspaper records not only contained precise time and place, causes, processes and results, but also explained them. the reason for the occurrence. In particular, the broken promises of the Moa royal family in the Morning Covenant, the rebellion of the nobles, and the letters for help sent from thousands of miles, all of which ultimately constituted the reason for Greycastle to send troops. After the three major families defected, it became a matter of course that the new Lord of Dawn would like to rebuild the order of the kingdom with Roland Wimbledon as the head.
Although he knew that these descriptions were not necessarily true and reliable, he found that he still unconsciously wanted to believe that they had nothing else, just because the content was so complete that it was so tightly connected that it was hard for people to believe it or not.
In fact, if the other party dares to bring this kind of thing to the front of the stage, it is already convincing enough.
Victor ignored Linglong's existence for a while, and couldn't wait to turn back.
The content of the second page is actually related to the devil. The author will write a complete record of the battle situation in the day before the first army expedition to the northwest wasteland and dispatched to attack the devil before the winter.
It was the first time he had heard the news.
When he came back to Neverwinter, he only knew that there were terrifying beasts attacking the border. He never thought that the king would take revenge for this. Not only did he go deep into the no-man’s-land that was rumored to be full of dangers, but he also gave his opponents a head-on attack, so that they would no longer dare to take it lightly. If the record of appearing in the Western Territory is true, this matter can almost be described as a "legend"!
"How could such a thing happen?" was the most frequent thought in Victor's mind.
Whether it's a thousand-mile raid in the past two weeks, or a life-and-death confrontation ten kilometers away, it's all thrilling.
When he saw the army forming a position to defend against waves of enemies falling from the sky, he even felt a shudder from behind him.
Having been exposed to "dark money" since he was a child, he knows better than most people that this world is not as simple as the world thinks, and there are many restless forces hidden in the invisible dark places. Therefore, when the news of the devil's appearance reached Dawn, it didn't surprise him too much that the leaders of the chamber of commerce were probably the same.
But that's all.
Chenxi's noble merchants still focus on their own interests, and don't care about the battle of divine will that only stays on paper.
Victor never imagined that Graycastle had now had a head-on conflict with them and won the victory, which made him feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
He couldn't say what it was, but it made people feel reassured and happy.
And this should have nothing to do with him.
After thinking about it, it was probably the word "human" that appeared many times in the newspaper that infected him, right
For a moment, Victor seemed to feel that he was standing with the First Army of Greycastle. In front of the terrifying and powerful alien race, the gap between the family and the bloodline seemed to have faded a lot.
He took a deep breath, licked his slightly dry lips, and turned to the third page.
The content on this piece of paper is a lot easier, it's all trivial things that happened in Neverwinter City, and the title is quite novel. For example, "Shock! Where did the late-night explosion in the city come from? The detective team will take you to uncover the mystery! ", "The water pipe cracked, and the road turned into an ice skating track! ", "Neverwinter must know the bird's beak mushroom cooking guide" and so on...
Victor swept all the way down, and when he flipped through the contents to the back of the newspaper, he was stunned.
It was actually a black-and-white painting that took up half of the page, and the scene inside was so vivid that it was hard to look away.
Two of the women are hand in hand, standing still on the snow field, with the white snow flying all over the sky, they are unbelievably beautiful, and there is a row of beautiful big characters below.
"The art beyond the times, the gift of the enthronement ceremony, the performance of the Star Flower Troupe and the witch, and the writing of His Majesty Roland, everything is in "Wolfheart"! It will be staged at the end of the month! Pre-orders are now accepted!"
