Chapter 8: worship

"This... is papyrus?" The parish bishop of the Temple of Knowledge kept his neck in his left hand, but the words just blurted out, and he denied it himself. "No, this is not! What is this? A new kind of paper?" ?"
　　 Bishop Cole twisted this ‘paper’ with his right hand. The touch is completely different from papyrus, and it seems to be softer and more elastic.
If you use ancient methods to make paper, it will take too long. After the death of the old duke, the sad wind collar can only support up to three months. If you do not find an open source method after three months, you must let Cervantes. Going to the Black Forest to hunt monsters to generate income for the tragic leader.
　　Selina used the property and influence of the old duke to gather several mages. With the help of magic, she accelerated the speed of making paper and made this sample.
　　Parchment and papyrus have their own defects. Spell books and various magic books must be blessed with spells to maintain them. Not only are they expensive, they are also expensive to maintain.
The arcane empire is very luxurious, and the wizards are also very rich, so they never thought about making'new paper', and papermaking also needs a little inspiration. The invention of Cai Lun paper is the wisdom of thousands of years of working people. , So the maid dare to guarantee that "paper" will set off a huge wave in this world.
　　Selina smiled and said, "Yes, this is a new kind of paper. You can never imagine how low the cost of this kind of paper is."
Edith has accompanied Serena before and after running these days, and the wizards introduced her to Serena, but she did not see how low the cost of this paper is, but the materials are indeed very cheap, very common.
　　 "Low cost?" The maid's words made Bishop Cole raise his eyebrows, unconsciously squeezing the paper, his palms were full of sweat.
From the current perspective, the performance of this paper is better than papyrus. If the cost is lower, even if the cost is higher than papyrus, but as long as half of the parchment is not reached, then this paper is likely to replace parchment. paper.
　　 "What if I say that the paper is only made of bark, rags, and fishing nets?" The maid smiled, "Can this paper become a crowbar for revolution?"
　　 The paper was crumpled by Bishop Cole, but he didn't notice it at all, but looked at Serena dully, with a confused look in her eyes, as if she hadn't heard what the maid had just said.
　　Etis can feel the strange atmosphere faintly, she is very puzzled, why does sister Selena lie about this kind of thing? Obviously this kind of paper is not cheap at all!
"I don’t hide from you, this is a sample that I hired several mages to make for me, but this is also to hurry. If it is not accelerated by magic, it will take a long time to make this kind of paper. "This sentence from the maid gives Bishop Cole a sense of frustration...
　　 "However, this kind of paper can be manufactured in batches, and I found a new way of working. With this new way of working, after half a year, everyone can produce at least 300 to 500 sheets of paper every day."
　　 Bishop Cole seemed to have grabbed the heart by an invisible hand, and his throat hooted with shock, unable to say a word.
Seeing this, Selina smiled slightly and pressed the last straw. "The output of this kind of paper is at least ten thousand in a year. In the future, I will continue to improve the manufacturing process. Daydreams."
　　 Bishop Cole clutched his collar painfully, and Edith standing beside was completely stunned. He could not imagine that there would be such a thing in this world.
　　If Selina is not cheating...
"The price! What is the price?" Bishop Cole gritted his teeth, staring at the maid with a stern look, and asked in a nearly screaming voice: "Tell me, what do you want? Give it to you, what do you want me?" All for you! Gold coins? Magic materials? Or need knowledge? I will give you whatever you want!"
Bishop Cole has been stunned by this "new paper" temptation. As a pastor of the of knowledge, he is a part-time scholar of the value of "this thing". However, he can't wait to change this "thing" Get it, and then dedicate it to his faith, his god, the great of knowledge, Ogma!
　　【Knowledge is priceless, but knowledge is priceless! Tell him the price, let him pay the price-the price of acquiring this knowledge! 】
The roar of the "Book of Wisdom" echoed in Serena's ear, and the maid smiled at Bishop Cole in the most innocent smile, saying, "Knowledge is priceless, but knowledge is pricey, I hope Your Church of God of Knowledge can support our Lord Duke. He is a black dragon. Although he is not evil, his five-colored dragon's identity has caused him a great obstacle-I can guarantee that my master is not evil. !Besides that, I also need some gold coins to overcome the plight that the tragic leader is facing."
Bishop Cole suddenly awakened, ignoring his cold sweat, and unaware of his gaffe, but staring blankly at the'paper' in his hand that had been crumpled by himself and soaked in palm sweat .
　　 He covered his head in pain, even if Edith could feel the struggle in his heart, she could understand why the poor old man felt pain.
　　 She was melancholy, because the pain Bishop Cole felt now was brought by her beloved Selena.
　　 Bishop Cole knew that as a bishop of the parish, he should not agree to such a thing, but...
　　Bishop Cole closed his eyes in pain and sighed: "You won, I need to report this to my lord."
　　 "...You can come back in three days, I will still be waiting for you here."
　　When Edith followed Serena, she looked at the poor old man who had watched them leave, still feeling as if she had lost something important.
　　 "Sorry..." After whispering to the "poor old man", Edith quickly followed the steps of Selena's departure and left the temple of the Church of the God of Knowledge.
　　The gate of the temple, where the respectable old man was still standing still...
　　 "Edith, remember what I taught you yesterday?"
　　 Edith lowered her head to follow behind Serena, UU reading www.uukanshu.com really looked like a little secretary, and raised her head blankly when asked by Serena.
　　 "Uh, yes, yes, Selina." Thinking back a bit, Edith nodded, "I have always kept in mind your teachings to me, and I dare not forget them."
　　Etis's attitude made the maid feel some headaches. She wanted to cultivate Etis, instead of becoming what she is now, she would only listen to her and not think about what she should do.
　　The old duke and Mrs. Molly are good people, but neither of them can teach children, and it is true to respect the teacher, but she should not be so obedient.
"'The sadness leader wants to develop, the most missing is the population, but in a short period of time we can't find more people, nor have the financial resources to buy slaves, so the sadness leader must have a more advanced work concept and work Way. If you can let those unemployed find a job, you can not only create new value, but also stabilize the situation of the sad wind.'This is what you taught me yesterday..."
Selena saw a little hesitation in Edith's face, smiled, and said, "Is there any doubt? Despite asking! There are many things you have to learn, the first thing to learn is opening .'Ignorance' is not a shame. The more'unknown', the more knowledgeable you are, the more you know, the more you will be puzzled, doubt the world, doubt yourself, and then approach the unknown abyss like a moth. Knowledge is twisted into a rope, and the bottom of the abyss is the truth of the world. Maybe it will make you feel terrified as you continue to fall, but is it not the greatest thing in this world to trace the unknown steps to the truth of the world? So, bold Ask it out, speak out the doubts in your heart, and I will take you forward."
　　 Edith was stunned, and... turned all her longing into worship.
