LOL: I am a bad prince in Demacia.

Five p.m.

The sky is still very clear at this time, and the residual summer temperature does not seem so hot anymore. Today is a cloudless day. When you look up, you will see thousands of miles of blue. Looking at it more often can make you feel a little relaxed.

Lu Qi and the other three rode the carriage to the printing workshop.

When I arrived, I found that a carriage had stopped here. I looked at the sign on it. It should be the emblem of the Bouvier family.

"Is Kashina here too today?"

Lux's eyes lit up. She missed her little sister very much. As soon as she saw this carriage, she couldn't wait to get off.

Lu Qi also hadn’t seen Kashina for some time.

After entering the workshop, you can see that many places are different here compared to the previous days.

First of all, it was divided into many areas, and some new workshop equipment was added. At the same time, according to Lu Qi's opinion, Navis added several power fans inside.

It can be regarded as a minimalist version of air conditioner.

Different from the water-powered fans at home, the workshop uses gear power to provide workers with timely relief from the heat.

Not long after entering the workshop, the three of them met Kashina head-on. She seemed to have just arrived.

Wearing a pale white gown and black shorts that gently outline the curves of her legs, she wears a refreshing ponytail as before, giving off the aura of a young girl.

"Good afternoon, you three."

After meeting, Kashina took the initiative to say hello, and she was very happy to see several people, with a smile on her face.

When he looked at Lu Qi, he was the same as before, with a little smile in his eyes and a longing that he hadn't seen in a few days.

Apart from that, there was nothing else. It seemed that what happened last time had no impact on her.

Everything is still the same as before, getting along as usual.

While chatting, the four of them headed to Navis's office.

After opening the door, Navis, who was processing a pile of information, raised her head. When she saw Lu Qi, her eyes under her glasses suddenly lit up.

"Your Highness!"

She rummaged on the table twice, picked up a few pieces of paper, jumped off the chair, walked up to Lu Qi, and reported to him with a little excitement and joy, "The hand-operated printing press has already been installed in the morning. The assembly is complete, and no problems have been found after several rounds of testing.”

She looked very excited as she spoke, but this is normal.

For a craftsman, the greatest joy is seeing his work come out.

The concept proposed by Lu Qi was really realized.

Now, his image in Navis' heart has risen to an unshakable position.

Lu Qi took a few pages handed over by Navis, and the three girls around him also moved closer curiously and looked up.

The content on these pages is exactly the same. The ink writing on them is clear and highly recognizable at a glance. It is obviously the result of a hand-operated printing press.

Lu Qi glanced at it for a few times and then said, "Take me to see the printing press."

"You come with me."

Navis walked in front and led the way.

After a while, he stopped in front of a room and opened the door.

There were also two figures inside. Lu Qi glanced at them and found that they were siblings Meili and Kesen.

They treated it like a rare treasure, carefully wiping a machine in the center of the room with a hand towel.

"Your Highness the Prince!"

When the two siblings saw Lu Qi, they immediately came up to salute and say hello. Their attitude was very respectful and completely heartfelt.

If they were a week ago, they might have been dissatisfied when they saw Lu Qi, but now they are basically convinced both verbally and physically.

It is no exaggeration to say that whatever Lu Qi wants them to do now, the two siblings will do it without hesitation.

For no other reason than because the hand-operated printing press was actually built.

From the very beginning, the two of them had a vague feeling that His Highness the Prince and Navis seemed to be working on something very awesome.

After they built it, they discovered that it was indeed awesome.

The emergence of hand-operated printing presses almost directly solved the problem of difficulty in disseminating written words.

A machine that allows everyone to read text in books, you just wonder how powerful it is.

After glancing at the two siblings with licking expressions, Lu Qi ignored them and walked forward, stopping next to the printing press.

Fiona and the other three also approached and looked at them curiously.

Lux stretched out her finger and poked it: "Just such a big piece of iron? Is it as powerful as you said?"

"You'll know if you take a look."

Lu Qi took a closer look. In fact, it was the first time for him to see something like this, which was almost from ancient times.

But in Demacia, it is already a cutting-edge product of the times.

"Let me show you!"

Upon hearing this, Coson immediately stepped forward with great excitement, planning to demonstrate the operation to the four people.

"Go aside."

Meili stepped forward and kicked Coson aside. Then she ignored Coson's glaring eyes, walked up to Lu Qi and said respectfully, "Your Highness, let me demonstrate to you."

Being robbed of the opportunity to perform in front of His Highness the Prince, Keson stared at Meili, daring to be angry but afraid to speak.

"let's start."

Lu Qi said casually.

It makes no difference to him which of the two siblings performs.

With Lu Qi's permission, Meili immediately walked to the type strip storage rack on the other side and explained: "They are the type strips that have been made in these days. Each character has different characters. They are arranged by signs and stored in an orderly manner. Here, no matter what the content is, you only need to follow the signs to find it.”

While talking, she took out a small type strip from the shelf and put it in her hand. After about a handful, she came to the typesetting area.

"The found type strips will be typeset here. The words can be combined at will, and can be divided into three ways: horizontal, vertical and oblique."

She said as she demonstrated, placing the type strips in the typesetter.

This typesetting device is naturally very important. Basically, the framework of a newspaper, such as a large section, a small section, or an independent section, is determined by it.

Unlike modern times, where you can easily create rich newspaper frames, before this ability was available, people used typesetting machines.

Prepare several different frames in advance, put the type strips into them, and you can get the ideal layout.

At the same time, this step is also the most troublesome, because the content of a newspaper must be spelled out here basically, and the position of a single typeface must not be wrong.

The four of them watched quietly, not disturbing Meili who was gradually concentrating.

After she carefully fixed the typeface, she slowly relaxed and said, "That's basically it. Now I just need to add ink and confirm the content of this blackboard report."

As he spoke, he placed a piece of pure white paper flat on the typesetting device, then used a tool to straighten it and stick it completely to it.

Then, uncover it from top to bottom, and your first sample newspaper will be ready.

"Please take a look." She handed it to Lu Qi.
