A pair of crystal lamps were taken away.
Back in the castle, Liszt ordered the servants to install the crystal lamps in his study. The lamps made of white crystal emitted a gentle white light, much like natural light, although not as strong as the sun. Just one crystal lamp was as bright as ten candles.
"About 50 watts of incandescent light, not strong enough, it is best to install two more."
Installing three crystal lamps in a room was the most suitable level of brightness. More dazzling, less dim. These crystal lamps could be lit for several years, and they would always be lit. They could also be designed to be switched on and off at any time, but it would require a high level of technical carving and was not cost-effective.
The value of crystal was indeed high, but the price was not unacceptable.
Tulip Castle had hundreds of crystal lamps. It was a bright castle from day to night, never falling into darkness. Many nobles liked to use crystal carved tableware. After the enfeoffment, Liszt also received a set of exquisite crystal tableware. Although its magic power was exhausted, it was still used to entertain distinguished guests.
"The bedroom also needs to be installed with crystal lamps, and then a lampshade. In this way, there is no need to turn off the light. As long as the lampshade is turned off, it is equivalent to turning off the light." He was used to sleeping in the dark. He couldn't sleep with the lights on.
He instructed the servants to correct the position of the crystal lamps.
With Glanny's speed, it would take about three to five days to finish the ten crystal lamps. Ten lamps could at most maintain the use of five rooms, but he did not intend to add more. It was a bit out of line to take out so many crystals at once. It was better to keep a low profile.
Besides, three lamps in the study, two in the living room, two in the dining room, two in the bedroom, and one in the bathroom were enough for him.
"Master, Mr. Markus is here, waiting for you in the living room." Carter came over.
"What did Teacher Markus say?"
"He came to report on the Knight training of the serf children."
Liszt thought for a moment and said: "Inform Carl Hammerstein and Röhm Wintong to come over. In addition, call my twelve retainer Knight over. I want to hold a meeting."
He went downstairs.
He saw Markus.
"Sir, Markus greets you."
"Good day." Liszt said as he allowed Thomas to fix his bow tie. "Teacher Markus, let's talk under the apple tree. I've also invited some others to discuss Knight Training."
The apple tree was a wild fruit tree not far from the castle gate.
There were stone benches and wooden tables under the tree. Liszt often read or pondered under the tree. Unfortunately, the apples were already ripe in this season. Therefore, for the time being, he couldn't learn from Newton, get hit in the head by an apple, and then come up with the epoch-making law of gravity.
Next year, when the tree bore apples again, he would definitely ponder on astrophysics, magic, and battle qi under the tree.
"Apples are good stuff. Three apples can change the world." Liszt sat down and pointed at the apple tree with a smile.
Markus was confused. "Apples are delicious, but how can they change the world?"
"Do you know how humans came to be?"
"We are the rulers of nature. We were born at the same time as this continent, sir."
Well, looking at Markus's serious answer, Liszt suddenly felt bored. This Earth Knight was not a humorous subject. Therefore, he made a long story short. "There is a legend that the first two people ate apples and created the current human race."
Markus asked, "Then why did three apples change the world?"
Eating the forbidden fruit, gravity, iPhone … Liszt regretted starting this topic. He could only talk nonsense. "Later, some people ate apples and cultivated battle qi. Some ate apples and created magic. Of course, these are all legends. From the Knight novels, the authors of those novels have a good imagination. "
"Those wizards? They can't change the world. The world belongs to the Knight! "
"…"
After talking nonsense for a while.
Carl and Röhm had arrived. The Retainer Knight was also gathered under the apple tree.
Looking at Markus, Carl, Röhm, and the upright Retainer Knight, Liszt suddenly thought of King Arthur and his Round Table Conference. The fictional king of ancient Britain liked to hold meetings around a round table with his Knight. The Europeans wrote a lot of stories about King Arthur and the Round Table Knight.
The Japanese also wrote a lot of stories about King Arthur.
"If I become king one day in the future, will the table under the apple tree be called the Apple Table or the Apple Table Conference by future generations? Will Markus, Carl, and Röhm be called the Apple Android Knight by future generations? Maybe they should be called the Apple Knight? "
Liszt's thoughts were fleeting.
He said seriously, "Teacher Markus, has the grouping of the young serfs been completed?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. Of the 354 young children, excluding the deformed and untrainable 26, there are 328 left. There are 169 boys and 159 girls. In accordance with Your Excellency's instructions, I have divided the girls into a separate group, and the boys into a passing group and a failing group. "
"The girls will be trained by Röhm." Liszt directly made a decision, "The purpose of the training is to strengthen their bodies and facilitate future work arrangements. If there are outstanding seedlings who can cultivate qi, then other arrangements will be made."
Röhm immediately stood up and saluted, "As you wish, I will train these girls strictly!"
Women cultivating qi was not mainstream. At least, most of the lords would choose boys when they chose a Knight. However, it was not fixed. There were many lords who trained female Knight … Sister Lvera trained a group of girls to form a female Knight squad. Of course, she also trained more boys.
Liszt did not train girls to form a female Knight squad.
Instead, he hoped that women could also increase their strength and do some heavy work in the future. In other words, he wanted to completely contract the work of farming and liberate the male labor force. Men could go to workshops as workers and do more physically demanding work such as repairing roads, bridges, shipbuilding, and so on.
More importantly, if a woman's physique became stronger, the difficulty of childbirth would be reduced, and the survival rate of the baby would greatly increase.
In addition, if a few talented female Knight emerged, they could be taken in as retainer Knight. If it was a beautiful female Knight with fair skin, they could then be transferred to a personal guard. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
"The failing group will be trained by Carl."
Liszt put away his thoughts and continued, "The training for the failing group will be the same as for the girls group. It is best to strengthen the body and cultivate qi. In the future, among this group of people, those who have qi can join the patrol team and the insect guard team. Those who don't have qi can build roads and bridges. "
Carl stood up and accepted the order, "As you wish!"
"Finally, the passing group will be trained by Teacher Markus. They will be the future Knight Guards of the territory. Philip, Xavier, you two retainer Knight will take turns to assist Teacher Markus. Train the passing group … I think we should divide the passing group into smaller groups according to their age and train them separately. "
