Chapter 1021 Graycastle Weekly
After there was one more person on the couch, the backing board suddenly bent a lot and made a soft creaking sound.
It seemed like I had to remind the store to strengthen this thing a little more. Victor thought to himself, although the big bed was placed in the corner of the room, sometimes not everything had to be done on the bed. Changing places would often bring unexpected beauty. In the King's Capital, the taverns here still lack some heritage.
After a while, Linglong had packed up the drinks and spread the newspaper in front of him.
"This is..." Victor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and saw that the paper was neatly covered with dense small words, just like the classics he collected at home!
He has believed that he has extraordinary vision since he was a child. Not only has he seen most of the strange things in the world, he has even played with them himself. Usually when a product is placed in front of him, he can immediately judge its approximate value, but the newspaper made Victor hesitate.
It is unlikely that such neat and detailed handwriting was written by hand. In other words, it most likely used rigid imprinting technology. Considering the cost of the latter, makers generally only use it on important and rare occasions. Documents that are rarely revised, such as the Kingdom Code.
This is where the problem lies. In order to achieve the best imprinting effect, such books will use the best materials possible. Lambskin that has never been wooled can only be regarded as a basic requirement. The cover is inlaid with gold and gems. There are many of them, which not only highlight the luxury and extraordinary, but also ensure sufficient durability.
But what is a newspaper? The paper was obviously ordinary gray straw paper, varying in thickness, and melted when wet. It had no cover and no protection at the corners. Even if you flipped through it normally, you couldn't even read it a few times. To him, this move was like forcing a luminous pearl into an iron ingot.
Victor couldn't help but think of what the maid said before. The king plans to use this thing to replace publicity announcements. Does this mean that it will print new content in the future?
After asking about his doubts, he got a positive answer from the other party.
"Yes, the announcement at the time said that the newspaper would publish an issue every other week, and the number will only increase, ensuring that most people can read it."
And one portion only costs ten bronze eagles.
He began to wonder how much wealth His Majesty Roland had amassed in Hermes. How could the other party still want to continue doing this for a long time?
The gem merchant who thought there might be business opportunities here has now given up the idea.
No matter what, Victor muttered to himself, it was not his money that was spent anyway, so what does it have to do with him whether the other party makes money or loses it? It's better to concentrate on reading the newspaper.
With this thought in mind, he moved his gaze to the first page.
At the top is a bold and bold title: "Greycastle Weekly w."
The next full page contains the news that the king is about to ascend the throne, as well as the Kingdom of Dawn and Graycastle have formed an alliance to fight against the devil.
He had already heard about these contents, but only to the extent that he knew that there was such a thing.
After just scanning two lines, Victor was completely immersed in it.
The content above actually made him feel like he was holding his breath.
It was the first time that he saw such a detailed description of these two major events from a high-level perspective. Different from the gossip circulating in the streets, the records in the newspapers not only contained precise time and place, causes, processes and results, but also elaborated on them. The reason why it happened. In particular, the breach of trust by the Moya royal family in the Dawn Covenant, the rebellion of the nobles, and the letters for help sent thousands of miles away, all of which ultimately formed the reason for Graycastle to send troops. Afterwards, the three major families turned against each other, and it became a matter of course that the new Lord of the Dawn would be led by Roland Wimbledon to reestablish order in the kingdom.
Although he knew that these descriptions were not necessarily true and reliable, he found that he still unconsciously wanted to believe them, just because the content was so complete and the connection was so tight that it was difficult not to believe it.
In fact, if the other party dares to put this kind of thing on the stage openly, it is already convincing enough.
Victor ignored Linglong's existence for a moment and couldn't wait to turn back.
The content on the second page is actually related to the devil. The author wrote a complete record of the battle in units of days, including the First Army's expedition to the northwest wilderness and the attack on the devil before winter.
This was the first time he heard this news.
When he returned to Neverwinter last time, he only knew that there were terrifying beasts attacking the border. He didn't expect that the king would take revenge for this. Not only did he go deep into the uninhabited forbidden land that was rumored to be full of dangers, he also gave his opponents a head-on blow, so that they would never dare to take it easy again. If the record of appearing in the Western Region is true, this incident can almost be described as "legendary"!
"How could such a thing happen?" This was the thought that appeared most frequently in Victor's mind.
Whether it was a thousand-mile run for nearly half a month or a life-and-death showdown ten kilometers away, it was all thrilling.
When he saw the army forming a position to resist the waves of enemies falling from the sky, he even felt a tremor coming from behind.
Having been exposed to "black money" since he was a child, he knows better than most that the world is not as simple as people think. There are many restless forces hidden in the dark places that cannot be seen. Therefore, when the news of the devil's appearance reached Chen Xi, he was not too surprised. Most of the leaders of the chamber of commerce were also the same.
But that's all.
The aristocratic merchants of Chenxi still focus on their own interests and pay no attention to the battle of divine will that only remains on paper.
Victor never expected that Graycastle would now have a head-on conflict with them and win, which made him feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
He couldn't tell what it was, but it made people feel relieved and happy.
And this matter should have nothing to do with him.
After thinking about it, maybe the word "human" that appeared many times in the newspaper infected him, right?
For a moment, Victor seemed to feel that he was standing with the First Army of Graycastle. In front of the terrifying and powerful alien race, the barrier between family and bloodline seemed to have faded a lot.
He took a deep breath, licked his slightly dry lips, and turned to the third page.
The contents on this piece of paper are much more relaxed. They are all trivial things that happened in Neverwinter City, and the titles are quite novel. For example, "Shock!" Where did the late-night explosions in the city come from? The detective team will help you uncover the mystery! w. "The water pipes cracked and the road turned into a skating track!" w. "A Guide to Cooking Bird's-nosed Mushrooms That Neverwinter People Must Know" w, etc...
Victor scanned all the way down, and when he followed the content to the back of the newspaper, he suddenly froze.
It was actually a black and white painting that took up half of the page. The scenery inside was so lifelike that it was difficult to look away.
Among them, two women held hands and stood quietly on the snowy field, looking incredibly beautiful with the white snow flying in the sky. Below them was a row of beautiful large characters.
"Art that transcends the times, a gift for the enthronement ceremony, a performance by the Star Flower Troupe and witches, and written by His Majesty Roland, it's all in "Wolf Heart Romance w!" It will be staged at the end of the month! Pre-orders are now open!"
