Chapter 1009: [Gift to Calvin]

"...Wait, what is that?!" Calvin stared blankly at the statue in the center of the square, his body trembling unconsciously.
He pointed his trembling finger at the statue in front and turned his head to ask his wife who held his other hand. Every inch of skin on his face seemed to be filled with ‘unbelievable’.
Alisa opened the folding fan and covered her mouth with a chuckle: "Calvin, that's a statue, don't you even know the'statue'?"
"Of course I know that it is a statue! But that statue looks..."
With that, Calvin turned his head again, but this one almost collapsed him, "Why is it like me!"
Today is his holiday, just before finishing several tasks, His Majesty the Emperor gave him an excuse to give him a few days of holiday, or let him take a good rest, otherwise he would be exhausted and let him borrow these. Go on a holiday to accompany your wife.
So, he came here today, planning to take Alisa to take a good tour of the entire imperial capital.
After all, Alisa has been living in the upper class before, and has not been exposed to too many civilian things. Although she has had some contact after marrying him, it is not too much. I have never seen anything really good about this emperor.
But when this came out, I met this!
The square here has just been built in recent years. Without that maidservant, perhaps Caesar XIII would not have such a profound understanding of ‘urban planning’.
The purpose of this square is to allow the civilian class to have a place for activities, and there will be business opportunities in this place where people flow gathers. In addition to a series of measures such as tax reduction and job creation, many people have spare money in their hands. So I gathered here.
However, due to a serious shortage of funds, they had no time to lay a flat stone brick on this square, and they had to stop.
However, just now, Calvin saw a tall statue standing in the middle of the square, looking like a weird man in eccentric clothing, only to see his legs staggered, slightly tipped his toes, and raised a half and a half in one hand The box, the bottom of the crooked box is only close to the four fingers, and there is a slightly inaudible gap between them. It seems that it is trying to send this box to the sky.
"Besides me, there are people who will wear that clothes, hold a'box' in their hands, and then pose that way?"
Just a glance at the statue, Calvin's goose bumps all over his body, and he felt uncomfortable.
Alisa looked at her husband for a while, then took a deep breath and closed it.
In order to experience the "civilian life" that her husband said, she only brought a folding fan and a small satchel today. The clothes are very simple. At this moment, she put away the folding fan and took Calvin's hand to run The statue.
Her smile seemed to add some sunshine to the sun, and Calvin was pulled by her and ran under the statue without any resistance.
Alisa turned her head to look at the statue, her eyes drifting from the base, as if she wanted something.
"Hey! Calvin, look here!" After a while, she cried in surprise and pointed to the base of the statue. Calvin followed her index finger and found a line of text there.
The font of this line of text is quite large, as if it was specifically written to others, as long as you stand under the statue, you will definitely find this line of text.
[Sincerely pay tribute to Calvin, the minister of the R&D department of the current Empire who connected the Slo Mendes continental network. Dildinis Urlov lived in the summer of 1582. 】
Seeing this line of words, Calvin froze instantly.
He stared blankly at this line of text, as if...as if something was about to burst out of his heart, brewing in his throat.
The throat moved up and down, he swallowed a spit, and slowly looked at the statue.
"This is...for me?" He whispered, only he and Alisa heard the words.
"Isn't there anything written here?" Alisa also said softly in his ear, "And, this is also the sculpture that Master Urlov personally! The master's work is very precious, if other nobles know his one A piece of work will be placed on this square where people come and go, I'm afraid it will be out of anger..."
"Yes, are you..." Calvin smirked and finally recovered.
He was not an aristocrat and had no exposure to any knowledge related to fine arts. Naturally, he did not know who the ‘Master Urlov’ was.
But from Alisa's words, it can be known that the master's work is quite precious, and he can let this master carve a work for him, and he doesn't know how much ‘they’ have paid.
The people in the R&D department and the manufacturing department knew about the tasks he had performed before, except for His Majesty Caesar XIII and a few nobles. The rest of them did not know exactly what happened and did not care about what happened. Something.
Therefore, the reason why this master would sculpt a piece of work for him was definitely requested by His Majesty or Gregory.
This statue is actually a gift they gave to him, but he was kept in the dark all the time. If he didn't come here this time, he probably didn't know about it.
Magic has been cured on the statue, which can ensure that the statue will not be destroyed by man.
Perhaps this is a surprise, waiting for the surprise when he found it-in fact, even if he did not find it this time, someone in the R&D or manufacturing department will see the statue sooner or later, and will inform this matter to he.
After discovering this fact, Calvin became even more embarrassed.
He smiled shamefully and took a few deep breaths. He took his wife's hand and turned and walked away. "Come on, I've seen it here. According to the plan, we still have a few places to take a good look at today." !"
Looking at his red ears, Alisa smiled her lips, grabbed her husband’s arm with her backhand, and said,
Don’t hurry, don’t you mean to show me the life of civilians? You said it’s civilians Let me play here at the event, OK?"
"Uh..." Calvin hesitated and looked back at the statue, then at the smiling wife.
Thoughts struggled for a while, but in the end it was still no match for his wife's smile. He could only gritt his teeth and said, "Okay, I will show you this place today!"
Hearing his answer, Alissa's smile became brighter.
Under the leadership of her husband, walking in this lively square, passing by the merchants, listening to their struggling screams, the voice is full of passion and vitality.
Alisa looked at all this curiously, and was even more surprised when she saw the smiles on the people's faces.
She remembered that when she passed the civilian area in a horse-drawn carriage, she looked out of the window. People’s faces were covered with an indelible gray, and the numb faces of the same were flashing from the car window, but Looking around, it seems that everyone is passing by the window again and again.
She didn’t think it was a big deal before. After all, civilians should look like this. This is a matter of course-this is her previous view~EbookFREE.me~ but after marrying Calvin, it was gone The large number of servants had to do some things by themselves, and Alisa gradually came into contact with the civilian class and gradually learned why the civilians look like that.
This is not what it should be, or that this phenomenon should be avoided by them.
Her husband, the minister of the R&D department of the Empire, is heading in this direction. Even if he knows that there will be countless difficulties and obstacles ahead, he is still walking with his companions and facing the difficulties.
He is her pride, so they have gradually moved from the ‘familiar stranger’ to where they are today.
"Teacher Calvin?"
At this moment, a suspicious female voice rang beside them, and Alisa turned her head to find out that it was Calvin's female student.
After hesitating for a moment, she put her body on her husband's arm and asked softly to his embarrassed face: "Calvin, your students say hello to you, why not say hello?"
