Unlike the magic cloth, which was highly anticipated and long-awaited by Savien, the appearance of paper was something that people did not expect.

That's not to say that the Kingdom of Kadir didn't have paper before this.On the contrary, there are a large number of books made of sheepskin and other animal leather in various churches, and the scrolls consumed by magicians every year are tens of millions.

Adrian is a big buyer in this area. He even has a magic quill, which is specially responsible for writing a few contracts for him with fixed content, and only needs to change some names and words.

However, the newly emerged "paper" is far thinner and cheaper than the leather scrolls used for scrolls and religious books.

The first time he saw pieces of dead leaves, withered grass, and discarded cloth turned into thin and delicate paper, Adrian was keenly aware that something was about to change.

Prior to this, the existence of the loom had already brought about a huge change in the lifestyle of the people in the Severn Territory.Enough low prices, coupled with rising incomes, make "owning a new suit" no longer something people can only expect when they get married, but integrated into people's daily life.

The number of tailors climbed like mushrooms after the rain, and once became the most yearned-for profession for teenagers who had no magical talent and could not awaken as warriors.A large number of beautiful cloth signs appeared in the city, and children also had more delicate and lovely dolls.

And now-

In a short period of time, what Adrian thought of was: Will the number of clerical craftsmen also increase?Speaking of which, learning grammar knowledge or learning cloth cutting, which one will be easier?

As time slowly elongated, Adrian gradually realized: No...

Printing costs plummeted, and many bookstores were born.

People's demand for "knowing the latest news" prompted the appearance of booklets printed with a large amount of various information, and quickly evolved into paper that does not need binding and is just stacked together.

But the people who buy these are limited after all.Words are always a threshold, stopping most people.

At first people were willing to stand by the bulletin board and listen to a soldier who could read the words read the contents of the newspaper.Later, he began to spend the money he had saved for the first time to find opportunities for young children to read and write.

In the words of Mr. Guanlan, this is a "precious transformation".

Is it valuable?Adrian's heart began to heat up.He had a hunch that the Severn Territory would definitely go in a direction that no one had thought of.He couldn't see what was in that direction, but he could be sure that it would be a future better than the king's every day.

before that--

Beside the silver-haired youth, the knight who had already finished his breakfast shook out the newly printed newspaper that still smelled of ink, and read out the contents in a little surprise.

"Duke Jacob, Duke Christopher, Duke Andrew...Marquis Samuel, Marquis Nathan," he read out a series of names, "announced that their territories are independent."

Adrian was slightly taken aback.

There is wind blowing from outside.It is now the turn of autumn and winter, and a fireplace is burning in the dining room, the flames flickering in the bitter cold wind.

Feit pursed his lips, his expression showing a concentration and solemnity.He quickly glanced at the content after the news, and then asked Adrian in an uncertain tone: "Eddie, these are-"

"There are no slave-trading families," Adrian said.

Feit listened, his eyebrows raised slightly.

Adrian thought for a while, and pulled out a little detail from the depths of his memory: "I remember that the relationship between Jacob's family, Christopher's family, and Jonalin's family was not very good. They were doing other businesses, and Jonalin's family The hunting team seems to have attacked several of their caravans."

Feit commented: "Dirty."

Adrian quite agrees with this.He also remembered a very long time ago, and now he thinks about the details that he is not sure about: "Yes, just before 'that incident'."

Although it has been a long time, his "falling off the cliff" is still the biggest pain in Feit's heart.Adrian knew this and would not touch it easily.Occasionally mentioned, but also vague references.

Even so, there was still a slight change in Feit's eyes.

Seeing that his hostility towards several families was almost overflowing, Adrian added at the fastest speed, "Jacob's family once tried to get close to me."

Feit paused, "Close?"

Adrian held the knife and fork, while cutting the steak for himself, while thinking about how to describe it more appropriately.

"They seemed to have something to say to me at the time. However, there were too many subtexts, and I didn't quite understand it."

Feit frowned, moved closer, and took the tableware from Adrian.

Adrian paused, feeling helpless and joyful, and said, "There's no need..." Even this kind of thing should be done by Feit, right?

But it is undeniable that there is a special flavor in the action of Veitch steak.To him, it seemed that it was not food on the table, but a target on the training ground.With three or two strokes, it was cut apart.The decisive and sharp movements reminded Adrian of Faith's appearance when facing the enemy.

Throat is a little dry.

Then he heard the brown-haired knight call him: "Eddie?"

Adrian coughed, pulled his thoughts back, and said, "Yes, they asked me about my grandmother. But, you know, I really don't know much about the Langton family."

He didn't think much about it at first.I thought about investigating, but found nothing, and Jonalin's family had already started.Later, all kinds of experiences came too fast, one after another, so that Adrian had no room to think about the big and small things that happened in the capital.Thinking back to what happened at that time, isn't it just today?

After listening to him, Feit was also puzzled.After a while, the two reached an agreement.

Whatever the Jacob family wanted to say in the past, that was a thing of the past.Now, for Adrian and Feit, their only meaning is to become a wall, standing in front of them, so that the Severn Territory can continue to develop.

To this end, the two also reached a second agreement.

Although the "Kingdom of Kadir may become a federation" - all dukes, marquises, including "viscounts" like Adrian are independent from the king's rule, have their own political power, and are ruled by a far looser system than the king. Connected together—there is a lot of talk, but at the moment, they still don't want to join in the fun.

The Savien Territory has indeed undergone great changes, but it is definitely not a good thing to involve yourself in the center of conflicts too early.Both Adrian and Veit prefer to talk less and watch more.See clearly the strength of other people, and use this to determine your own behavior in the future.

After all, based on their geographical location, no matter how many things outside, it would be difficult to affect the lives of the people led by Sai Weien.

Soon after, the real winter came.

It's just that the cold weather didn't affect the flames among the nobles at all.On the contrary, the flames continued to burn bigger and bigger.

Everyone knows that there must be other forces at work.But once the dissatisfaction of the nobles is provoked, how can it be easily eliminated?

Not to mention whether the families who did not operate the slave trade would easily "forgive" the Jonalin family, but the slave traders themselves.At least Serena has deeply realized that it is very inconvenient to do things on other people's territory.

If possible, she would prefer to hold everything in her own hands.

After being called "Queen" a few words in the dream, Serena woke up with a smile, lay on the bed, and began to think.

Going to the sky in one step is not realistic.However, on behalf of the king, it seems completely reasonable to attack those nobles who are "disobedient"?

She went to the palace a few more times.At this time, the conflict between the king and the queen mother had reached an irreconcilable point.

According to what Serena heard, the mother and son have not spoken for a long time.

The king could not forgive the queen mother for repeatedly giving in to the slave traders, thinking that this was the culprit that caused the current division of the country.The queen mother was miserable, sad at the king's resentment, and angry at the king's prevarication.

The most important thing is that she is becoming more and more unbearable for the elves kept in the palace by the king!

For this reason, when she looked at Serena again, the Queen Mother's attitude couldn't get better.After all, she was the one who brought the elves into the palace—and spent a lot of money in the inner treasury!

Serena completely ignored the queen mother's yin and yang aura, went straight to the point, and expressed her thoughts.

The Queen Mother was a little more excited.

If it is really possible to rely on the power of the nobles without using the royal knights, as Serena said... She knows that Serena will not consider Glenn, so she must have her own. Purpose.But in any case, the queen mother still does not want her son to be in charge of a divided country.

Promise then.

Serena got a satisfactory result.From beginning to end, the king did not come forward.

Serena herself would not ask about the other party, but the Queen Mother was a little worried.However, when she asked someone to invite the king, she only got the answer that the king was unwilling to meet her.

The queen mother's original guilt was erased again.She bitterly talked to the court officials beside her about why she only had such a son.

The rift between mother and son is irreparable, but Serena doesn't care about it all.She thought about the coming war, her blood boiled.

In the lead of Savien, people talked about the magic cloth that was finally going to be displayed in the store, and their blood was also boiling.
