Chapter 161: Apple table meeting

Take away the made pair of crystal lamps.

Back in the castle, Liszt ordered his servants to install the crystal lamps in his study. The lamps made of white crystal emit mild white light, much like natural light, although not as strong as sunlight. Only one crystal lamp is as bright as ten candles.

"It's about the brightness of a 50-watt incandescent lamp. 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 dazzling, less dim. These crystal lamps can be lit for several years and stay on all the time. It can also be designed as a crystal lamp that can be switched on and off at any time, but that requires high technical carving and is not cost-effective.

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

There are hundreds of crystal lamps in the Tulip Castle. It is bright all day long, and it is a castle of light that never falls into darkness. Many nobles like to use crystal to carve tableware. After the entrustment, Liszt also got a set of exquisite crystal tableware. Although the magic power has been exhausted, it still highlights the class when used to entertain distinguished guests.

"Crystal lamps must be installed in the bedroom, and then lampshades must be installed. In this way, there is no need to turn off the lights. Just turn off the lampshades, which is equivalent to turning off the lights." He is used to sleeping in the dark, and with the lights on, he can't sleep.

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

I counted silently with my fingers, and at Granny's speed, it would take about three to five days to complete the ten crystal lamps. Ten lamps can be used in at most five rooms, but he doesn't plan to add any more. Taking out so many crystals at once is a bit out of line, so it's better to keep a low profile.

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 to use.

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

"Did Mr. Marcus say something?"

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

Liszt thought for a while, and said: "Have someone call Carl Hammer and Rom Barrel to come over. In addition, call all twelve of my retinue knights. I want to hold a meeting."

go downstairs.

Meet Marcus.

"My lord, Marcus greets you."

"Good day." Liszt said while letting Thomas straighten his bow tie, "Mr. Marcus, let's talk under the apple tree. I also invited other people to have a meeting to discuss knight training."

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

There are stone benches and wooden tables under the tree. Liszt often reads or thinks about problems under the tree. Unfortunately, this season, the apples have already been ripened. So he couldn't learn Newton for the time being, he was hit in the head by an apple, and then he thought about the epoch-making law of gravity.

Wait until next year, when the tree bears apples again, he will definitely think about astrophysical magic fighting spirit under the tree.

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

Marcus doesn't know why: "An apple is delicious, but how does it change the world?"

"Do you know how humans came here?"

"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 cut the long story short: "There is a legend that the first two people ate an apple and created the present human beings."

Marcus asked: "Then why are three apples changing the world?"

Stealing forbidden fruit, universal gravitation, iPhone... Liszt regretted opening this topic, 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. From the perspective of knight novels Yes, the writers of those novels have a good imagination."

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

"..."

Nonsense for a moment.

Karl and Rom had already arrived, and the retinue knights circled around under the apple tree.

Seeing Marcus, Karl, Rom sitting upright, and the retinue knights standing upright, Liszt suddenly thought of King Arthur and his round table meeting. The fictional king of ancient Britain likes to hold meetings with his knights around a round table. Europeans have written many stories about King Arthur and the knights of the round table.

Little Japan also published a lot of episodes about King Arthur.

"If one day in the future, I become king, will the table under the apple tree be called the apple table, the apple table conference? Is it called the Apple Knight by later generations? Maybe it's called the Apple Knight directly?"

Thoughts are fleeting.

He said seriously: "Mr. Marcus, the grouping of serf children is over?"

"Yes, my lord, among the three hundred and fifty-four young children, twenty-six who were deformed and unable to be trained were eliminated, and there were three hundred and twenty-eight remaining, including 169 boys and 150 girls. Nineteen. According to the instructions of the adults, I divided the girls into one group, and the boys into the pass group and the fail group."

"The girls' group will be handed over to Roma for training." Liszt made a direct decision, "The purpose of the training is to make them fit so that they can arrange work in the future. If there are excellent seedlings who can cultivate fighting spirit, then we can make other arrangements."

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

It is not mainstream for women to practice fighting qi. At least most of the lords choose boys when they choose knights. But it is not fixed, and there are many lords who train female knights... My sister Li Weila trained a group of girls to form a team of female knights. Of course, she also trained more boys.

Liszt trained girls not to form a team of female knights.

Instead, I hope that women can also increase their strength and do some heavy work in the future, or in other words, completely contract the work of farming to liberate the male labor force. Men can go to workshops as workers, and they can do more physical work such as road repairs, bridge repairs, and shipbuilding.

More importantly, as women's physique becomes stronger, the difficulty of childbearing will be reduced, and the survival rate of babies will be greatly improved.

In addition, there is another point - if there are a few female knights with outstanding talents, they can be accepted as retinue knights, and if they are fair-skinned and beautiful female knights, they can be adjusted as personal guards, wouldn't it be flattering

"The unqualified group will be handed over to Karl for training."

Liszt put away his small thoughts and continued: "The training for the unqualified group is the same as that of the girls' group. It is best to build up your body and cultivate your fighting spirit. In the future, those who have fighting spirit in this group can be included in the patrol team , Insect guards, those who have no fighting spirit, build roads and bridges."

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

"Finally, the passing group will be handed over to Teacher Marcus for training. They will be the candidates for guarding the knights in the future. Philip, Xavier, you knights will rotate to assist Teacher Marcus. Training the passing group... I think the passing group should be divided according to Age level, subdivide into several groups and train separately."

Marcus nodded: "It can be divided into a group under the age of six, mainly training etiquette and basic skills; a group of six to eight years old, mainly training fighting spirit and loyalty; a group over eight years old, mainly training courage and riding charge."
