245, startled
The telescope made by Musoni was made of wood, and it was a monocular telescope. It was quite different from the telescope used by Sean in his previous life.
Sean stood at the window and looked out through the telescope. The scenery in the distance seemed to be close to his eyes, and many things that were originally unclear could be seen clearly.
"You did a great job!" Sean was very satisfied: "Just because of this telescope, I will double your research funding!"
"Thank you, sir!" Musoni smiled: "Sir, I will go to work first!"
"Go!" Sean nodded.
...
After Musoni left, Sean continued to study the monocular telescope in his hand, and he couldn't put it down.
Sean also made a decision in his heart. In the future, he will come up with his own ideas about invention and creation, and leave all the specific processes to Musoni!
Things like steam engines, flying shuttle spinning machines, and internal combustion engines can still be fiddled with by Sean just from memory. More sophisticated machinery manufacturing is too difficult for an ordinary architect like Sean.
You still have to focus on cultivation!
...
...
Half an hour later, Anduin knocked on the door and walked into Sean's study.
At this time, Sean was studying the "five-year plan" on how to improve the territory, and he immediately closed the book when he saw Anduin's arrival.
"Anduin, find a seat and sit wherever you like. Why do you want to see me?"
Anduin sat down on the seat opposite Sean and replied:
"I came to you about the education of the citizens. Last night I studied the textbook you compiled. It is very good, but the parchment is too expensive. How can we popularize education?"
"I discussed this issue with Musoni just now." Sean smiled:
“The matter of popularizing education will be delayed for a while until Musoni can use water power to produce large amounts of paper.
But before that, you can recruit some people who are originally literate or have arithmetic skills as teachers, give them the treatment of ordinary workers, and let them learn the knowledge in the textbooks first.
After the papermaking technology is successfully developed, the recruited workers can be asked to learn the contents in the books first. Those who learn well will increase their monthly salary by 1 gold coin.
For citizens other than workers, if they learn well, they will be given priority to become workers, and even more likely to become factory supervisors. Only in this way can we create a trend of learning for all people..."
…
…
"Bang!"
Sean was talking endlessly about universal education when suddenly there was a loud noise outside!
The ground began to shake violently. The water glasses and bottles on the table, and even Anduin who was sitting in his seat, were caught off guard and almost fell to the ground.
"What the hell! Is there an earthquake?" Anduin stood up straight and looked out the window.
"No! I felt huge magic fluctuations, and it was a powerful magician who caused all this!" Sean's face was extremely solemn, and he hurried to the window to look outside.
At this time, there was a pale green light pillar in the southern sky soaring straight into the sky. Sean visually determined that the diameter of this light pillar was at least ten meters.
Looking from a distance, there is a huge magic shield under the light green light pillar, which is also light green.
By using a telescope, Sean can clearly see the magic lines on the magic shield.
So Sean immediately ordered: "Anduin, call all combatants of bronze rank and above to assemble in the square in the center of the town!"
"clear!"
After Anduin finished speaking, he immediately hurried out.
"Also." Sean said after chasing Anduin: "Let the remaining non-combatants maintain law and order and don't let the masses cause large-scale panic!"
"Okay!" Anduin nodded and used the [Feather of Heaven] skill to leave quickly.
Sean looked at Anduin's feathers condensed by holy light on the ground with envy. He also had fast-moving skills. One was the life-saving [Summon Ball Lightning], which would be uncomfortable to use, and the other was the Vivian Cult.
It's given to him and can only be used when it rains.
So Sean could only walk out slowly.
Sean's guard captain Zude quickly came to the castle hall after the incident and was pacing back and forth anxiously.
Seeing Sean arrive at the castle hall, he hurriedly protected Sean and left the castle together.
...
...
On the way to the town center, Sean observed the surrounding townspeople as he walked.
The townspeople thought it was an earthquake and walked out of their houses one after another.
There were endless shouts, noises, and cries, and some people even took advantage of the chaos to break into the house and rob the house.
Sean said loudly as he walked:
"Everyone, please pay attention. This is not an earthquake. Don't panic. Go home and wait patiently! I and the two Silver-level experts in the town will go back to the scene to check the situation. You can just wait at home and wait for the news!"
Zude also used Dou Qi to control Sean's voice when he spoke, so that the sound reached the ears of every nearby town citizen.
Although the townspeople heard Sean's voice, most of them did not see the green light beam and preferred to believe that an earthquake had occurred, so the commotion still did not subside.
Seeing that the townspeople did not take his words seriously, Sean grimaced:
"Everyone should go home and stay! If anyone dares to run around again, I will stop his food supply for seven days! I will do what I say!"
After hearing Sean's words, the townspeople instantly became more honest and returned home one after another.
Even if there is an earthquake, you may not die if you hide in the house; but if the lord does not distribute food, the family may really starve to death!
So wherever Sean went, the townspeople returned to their homes one after another, and the riot that was about to happen disappeared invisible.
Seeing that it was effective, Sean immediately asked the guards in the town to help spread the news, and the Hetan Town that had just begun to riot immediately calmed down.
Everyone hid in the house and shivered, praying silently to the God of Light, hoping that the lord could bring back good news.
...
...
Not long after, Sean and Zude arrived at the center of the town. Windsor, Anduin, Thor, Zhu Talan and other heroes and most of their entourage had gathered in the square in the center of the town, and everyone else was also there.
On the way here.
In addition to Sean's subordinates, Olga, the leader of the Blazing Cross mercenary group, also came to the square with his mercenaries.
Compared to Sean, who looked solemn, his expression was even more solemn.
"Olga, you came just in time! Let's go to the south and have a look!" Sean pointed to the light green light beam on the south side.
"No problem, I have the same idea." Olga nodded, "But Your Highness Sean, we have to be careful!
The person who can release this level of magic shield must be at least a high-ranking gold-level mage, and most likely even a sky-level mage! Even if we all work together, we may not be able to beat him."
Sean nodded: "We are not looking for a fight with this sky-level mage. Let's go there first to see the specific situation. If it doesn't work, we will retreat to Hetan Town."
Chapter completed!
