The Defeated Dragon

Chapter 161 Apple Table

Remove the finished set of crystal lamps.

Upon returning to the castle, Lester ordered the servant to install the crystal light fixtures in his study. White crystal lamps emit mild white light, much like natural light, although there is no strong sunlight. Just one crystal lamp is brighter than ten candles.

“There are about 50 watts of incandescent lamps that are not strong enough and it is best to install two more. ”

Three crystal lamps are the most suitable brightness in a house. More puncture, less darkness. These crystal lights can stay on for years. Crystal lamps can also be designed to be switched on and off at any time, but that requires a high level of technical carving and is not affordable.

Crystals do have a high value, but the price is not too high.

Hundreds of crystal lamps in Tulip Castle, lit day after night, are a castle of light that never goes into darkness. Many noblemen love to craft dishes with crystals, and after they are sealed, Lester also gets a beautiful set of crystal dishes, even though the magic is exhausted and used to entertain VIP guests, which still stands out in class.

“Crystal lights are also to be installed in the bedroom, and then a shade is to be installed, so that you don't have to turn the lights off, just turn off the shade and it's off.” He's used to sleeping in the dark, with the lights on, and he can't sleep.

Command the servant and correct the position of the crystal lamp.

Pinch your fingers silently. At Granny's speed, it will take about three or five more days to get the ten crystal fixtures done. Ten light fixtures maintain the use of up to five rooms, but he doesn't intend to add more, taking out so many crystals at once, showing a little bit of character, or keeping a low profile.

Besides, three in the study, two in the living room, two in the dining room, two in the bedroom and one in the bathroom are enough for him to use.

“Sir, Mr. Marcus is here and is waiting for you in the living room.” Carter came over.

“Did Teacher Marcus say anything? ”

“He came to report on the training of the knights of the serf children. ”

Listerio thought slightly, “Get Carl Iron Hammer and Rom Barrel notified, and call my twelve cavaliers, all from the knights, and I'm convening a meeting. ”

Downstairs.

Meet Marcus.

“My lord, Marcus sends his regards. ”

“Good day.” Lester let Thomas sort out his tie for himself, "said Teacher Marcus, we went to speak under the apple tree, and I invited others to meet to discuss knight training. ”

An apple tree, a wild fruit tree not far from the entrance to the castle.

Beneath the tree are stone stools, wooden tables, Lester often reads under the tree, or thinks about problems. Unfortunately, this season, the apple has been ripened. So he was temporarily unable to learn Newton, get hit in the head by an apple, and then think about the laws of gravity.

Wait till next year to tie the apple on the tree, he will definitely think about astrophysical and magical fighting under the tree.

“Apples are good things, and three apples can change the world.” Lister sat down and smiled pointing at the apple tree.

Marcus didn't know, so he said, "Apples are delicious, but how does it change the world? ”

“Do you know how humans get here? ”

“We are rulers of nature, born at the same time as this continent, my lord. ”

Well, looking at Marcus for a serious answer, Lister suddenly finds it boring that this earth knight, is not an object of humor. So he said, long story short: “There's a legend that the first two people ate apples and created the human race today. ”

Marcus asks, "Why are three apples changing the world? ”

Sneaking up on forbidden fruit, gravity, Apple phones... Lister regretted opening the subject a little, and had to bullshit: “Then someone ate the apple and cultivated the fighting spirit, and someone ate the apple and created magic. Of course, it's all legends. From the Knight novels, the novelists have a good imagination. ”

“The magicians? They can't change the world. The world belongs to knights! ”

“ …… ”

Bullshit for a moment.

Carl and Rom have arrived, and the knight has circled under the apple tree.

Looking at Marcus, Carl, and Rom, sitting on top of each other, and standing up straight from the knight, Lester suddenly thought of King Arthur and his round table. The fictional King of Great Britain, who loved meeting with his knights around a round table, wrote a lot about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

Little Japan also came out with a lot about King Arthur.

“If one day in the future I would be king, this table under the apple tree, would it be called the apple table, the apple table? Marcus, Carl, Rom, are these seniors called the Knights of Applejo? Maybe just the Apple Knight? ”

Thoughts pass slightly.

He said seriously: "Teacher Marcus, is the division of the serf children over? ”

“Yes, my lord, three hundred and fifty-four young children, twenty-six deformed and untrained, leaving three hundred and twenty-eight, one hundred and sixty-nine boys and one hundred and fifty-nine girls. As directed by the adults, I divide girls into separate groups and boys into passing and failing groups. ”

“Girls' groups are handed over to Roma training.” LISTER DECIDES DIRECTLY, "the purpose of the training is to provide them with physical fitness, facilitate the organization of work in the future and, if they have excellent seedlings, cultivate their fighting skills and make other arrangements. ”

Rom immediately stood up and saluted: “If you wish, Rom will train these girls rigorously! ”

Female cultivation is not mainstream, at least most lords choose knights and boys. But it is not fixed, and there are many lords who train female knights… Sister Levera trained a group of girls to form a team of female knights, of course she also trained more boys.

Lester trained girls, not to form a female knight squad.

Instead, it is hoped that women will also be able to increase their energies and do some heavy work in the future, or, alternatively, freeing up the male workforce by fully contracting out farm work. Men can go to workshops to work as workers, and they can go to roads, bridges, boat building and other jobs that require more physical strength.

More importantly, females become stronger, fertility difficulties decrease, and infant survival increases dramatically.

And one more thing - if you really show up with a few talented female knights, you can be regarded as an obedient knight, if you are a beautiful white knight, and then adjust to a close guard, isn't it aesthetic?

“Failure groups are handed over to Karl for training. ”

Lester put away his thoughts and went on to say, "It's best to train the failing group, like the girls group, to work out the fighting spirit. In the future, if this group of people have the courage to fight, they can be included in patrols and insect protection teams. If they have no courage to fight, they can repair bridges and roads. ”

Carl rises and leads: “As you wish! ”

“Finally, the passing group was handed over to Teacher Marcus for training, who was the choice of future Territory Guardian Knights. Philip, Xavier, you assisted Mr. Marcus from the knight rotation, training passing groups… I think we should split the passing groups by age level, a few more groups and train them separately. ”

Marcus nodded: “It can be divided into a group under six years of age, which mainly trains etiquette and basic merit; a group between six and eight years of age, which mainly cultivates fighting and loyalty; and a group over eight, which mainly trains courage and rides. ”
