Chapter 1018 Propaganda Position

"But my magic power can continue to grow through practice, and there is no upper limit for the number of times I can be promoted, right?" Lightning didn't look frustrated at all, "That's great - I can continue to surpass my own limits. Just thinking about it makes me sad. It’s exciting! Besides, I can be considered half a fighting witch now!”

"Fighting!" Maisie raised her head and echoed.

"I know you are happy, but remember not to speed up over the castle next time and cause trouble to His Majesty Roland." Wendy coughed twice, "In addition, you have to save your magic power in the next few days until all tests Done, got it?”

"Yes, Sister Wendy," Lightning stuck out his tongue playfully.

Roland had a different view in mind. Although sonic flight could bring unparalleled mobility to the opponent, once the magic power was used up, it would easily fall into a desperate situation. What's more, the lightning is much smaller than an airplane. It's still unclear how much damage it can cause to the devil when it breaks the sound barrier. It's obviously not cost-effective to use it as a combat witch.

As for the kind of demon slayer who can disrupt the magic effect on a large scale, it is even more like a nemesis to her.

What he values ​​more is the duration of the opponent's subsonic speed - a speed of 100 kilometers per hour is absolutely unparalleled in this era, whether it is to open up the map or as an investigator to make up for the outside of Sylvey's detection range The blind spots on the battlefield are much more efficient than pure combat.

Just when Lightning was about to leave, Roland suddenly stopped her.

"By the way, I have another question to ask you." He thought about the wording. "If...more than ten years later, there is no more danger to explore in this world, what will you do?"

"Is there no danger... to explore?" Lightning was slightly startled.

"For example, every continent has been visited by people, every sea area has been recorded in detail on the sea charts, and the entire world can be seen at a glance. There is no place that can be called an unknown territory anymore. Although it sounds a bit incredible, suppose this happens. If so, do you still want to be an explorer?"

"So that's it," the little girl suddenly realized. "You mean, what should I do if the group of explorers in the fjord explore all over the land and ocean during the War of Divine Will, right?"

"Uh... That's understandable." Roland couldn't help but secretly curse. He had already spoken tactfully enough, but he was still pointed to the core. Sure enough, his peers are the biggest enemies.

"Unless each of them is as powerful as my father, but even so, I will continue to explore," Lightning said without hesitation, "because there are some places that only I can reach, and even my father cannot do this."

"You mean..."

Lightning pointed to the top of his head and said confidently, "There is still a huge blank space in the sky!"

It wasn't until she resigned that Roland couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Should he say that he deserves to be a father and daughter? Not only did this answer have a tone similar to that of Lei Lei, but it even went further in terms of momentum - he didn't know whether the explorer's fate would really be what Lei Lei said, but there was one thing that the other party was right about. In terms of talent, Lightning It does have a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

"What are you laughing at?" Nightingale asked curiously.

He stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the dark clouded sky. His eyes seemed to penetrate through the clouds and reach a more distant depth - although it was still elusive, someone was already watching it.

"I'm laughing...it's so nice to be young," he lamented.

…

After dealing with the lightning matter, Roland left Wendy behind.

"I plan to add a new department in the city hall," he said straight to the point. "In addition to handling emergencies like today, it will also provide the public with a credible channel for discussion."

"You mean...it's mainly used to release news?" Wendy asked.

"Yes, this department is called the Propaganda Department." Roland nodded, "But the way it releases news is somewhat different - first of all, unless it is an emergency, it will no longer make announcements through the bulletin board in the central square. Secondly, it contains The content will not be limited to Neverwinter, but some novel events happening in various places will also be included."

"How can we let others know if we don't publicize it in the square?" Nightingale curled her lips.

Roland picked up a piece of scrapped scrap paper from the table and unfolded it in front of the two of them, "So it requires a brand new publicity method - that is the newspaper."

In fact, it is helpless to set up a bulletin board in the central square and send people to preach repeatedly. In the early days, the literacy rate of people was extremely low, and it was a fool's errand to achieve universal reading. Under such circumstances, word of mouth became the only way to promote government orders.

However, with the rapid expansion of the city's population and the rapid expansion of the territory, this method can no longer keep up with the actual needs of the people in the territory. In the past, convening 3,000 people for a lecture was equivalent to informing the entire city. Now, to meet the same ratio, at least 80,000 to 90,000 people must be gathered.

Not only does this exceed the capacity of the central square, but extracting such a large crowd at once will also bring the industrial operation of Neverwinter to a halt.

Barov's report made him realize that the saying "if you don't occupy the propaganda position, enemies will occupy it" is not just talk. Without a reliable discussion channel, all kinds of rumors will spread in the pub. Discussions are brewing and fermenting, and it will be difficult to come back when word spreads.

Now that the work of popularizing primary education has been carried out for two and a half years, Neverwinter City has much more resources at its disposal than in previous years, so opening a newspaper has become a matter of course.

If the former is the basis for running a newspaper, then the latter is a strong guarantee for publishing newspapers.

What does an official newspaper need? In order to have the largest possible circulation and timely reports that can guide public opinion, Neverwinter City must have a large amount of paper and efficient printing technology.

The paper problem is easy to solve. In the central and eastern cities with developed commerce, paper has been popularized by middle- and upper-class families. He still remembers Lucia's deceased parents, who once ran a paper mill in Golden Spike City. According to the statistics of the city hall, there are many craftsmen who master the papermaking technology among the immigrants from the east. As long as these craftsmen are recruited and the production capacity is expanded, the demand for large-scale issuance can be met.

For Neverwinter, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

Printing is even simpler. Metal movable type and rollers are mature technologies, and ink is provided by dark clouds. In theory, it is easier than making paper.

It's just that he doesn't have to explain all these to Wendy in detail. Regardless of the technical aspects, newspapers must be written by people, so the most important thing is those who can collect the news.

The purpose of keeping Wendy is to select a few suitable candidates - whether it's the Witches' Alliance or Maleficent, she should be the one who knows the sisters' abilities best.

"I probably understand..." After listening to Roland's explanation, Wendy thought for a moment, "So you need a witch to be involved in this matter, and she can not only discover the incident immediately, but also run faster than anyone else. , send the news back to the Propaganda Department as soon as possible?"

"Ahem, there's no need to run fast," he almost choked on his saliva. "As long as she knows where the incident happened, she can send others there."

"In other words, she will serve as the center of the Propaganda Department? Well... I did think of a good candidate." Wendy smiled, "Your Majesty, what do you think... Honey?" WeChat search official account: wmdy66 , you are lonely, my lady warms you with movies
