Chapter 269 A natural scholar (additional update, please vote for me)
Russell failed to see his father and eldest brother in Baron Roman’s tower. As the finance minister, Baron Roman had been so busy in recent days.
There are too many post-war pensions and rewards matters that require large financial expenditures from the Grand Duchy, and each expenditure requires the signature of Baron Roman.
And Roland, who moved from assistant to the minister of the seal to assistant to the minister of finance, had to accompany his father to review documents every day. Not to mention sleeping until midnight, even when I hold my lover and make love at night, I have to read documents.
“Master Russell, according to the master’s schedule these days, he should be back after nine o’clock in the evening.” The butler of the tower said.
“Where’s Roland?”
“Master Roland sometimes comes back with me, and sometimes he goes back to his own yard.”
“Okay, arrange for me a manservant who knows the way, and I’ll go out for a while.” Russell was too lazy to wait in the tower, so he simply took a servant from the tower as a guide and went out to attend to his own personal affairs. .
“Sir!” Grove prepared to follow.
But Russell stopped him: “No need to follow me, I’m just walking around the Red Fort. You should seize the time to get in touch with Bill.”
There is no danger in the Red Castle, and Russell himself is the Phantom Beast Knight and does not need protection, so Grove responded: “No!”
immediately.
Russell rode out the door on Polly the Unicorn.
The Red Fort is like a hill, also known as Red Mountain, but in fact it can also be said to be a mountain. Because although the Red Castle is huge, it is composed of independent small castles one after another. These small castles are scattered on the low hills of the island in the middle of the lake.
The highest position is the main hall of the Red Fort, a magnificent and magnificent palace.
The outer fort, in a circle around the island in the middle of the lake, houses most of the administrative agencies and official residences of the entire Grand Duchy. There are also a large number of branch bloodlines of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family who also live in the outer fort area.
Therefore, although the barbican is part of the castle, it actually also has a prosperous market to provide daily needs.
There are many pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages passing by.
Phantom beasts can also roam the streets openly.
You can even look up and see a bipedal flying dragon gliding past in mid-air.
Of course, the most spectacular thing is the Shadow Flame Volcano not far away. This perfectly round red volcano looks like an eternal masterpiece. It is often surrounded by clouds and mist, forming interesting cloud cover on the top of the mountain.
Hot air currents are constantly blowing down from the Shadow Flame Volcano, baking the earth and nourishing the growth of countless crops.
“Master Russell, turn left on the street corner ahead. There is a tower. That is the Great Erudite Tower you are going to.” The male servant guided the road on horseback and soon took Russell to the destination of his trip, a special tower. tower.
This tower has a pointed top, which is particularly tall among many towers.
And at the top of the tower, there is a large triangular sculpture inlaid with an eye inside.
It is as if this eye is overlooking all living things from a high place, or it is looking behind the fog to see the truth of how things work.
Arriving at the gate of the Great Erudite Tower, Russell motioned for Pauly to wait outside, while he showed the scholar’s medal and identification document to the guard.
“Respected Russell Scholar, please come in.” After the guard reviewed, he immediately became respectful.
After entering the door, a blond woman in uniform immediately came forward and showed a sweet smile: “Hello, is this your first time coming to the Great Erudite Tower? I am the guide of the Great Erudite Tower. You can call me Ya Lusi. ”
“Hello Yaros, I am Loremaster Russell. I have a new technological invention that I am going to submit to the Roundtable of Loremasters. What should I do?”
“Ah, are you a polymath? You are too young. I thought you came to the Great Erudite Tower to issue technical requests.” Yalusi said in surprise. Those who often get the title of polymath are at least three or four. Ten years old.
There are really not many erudite people like Russell who are so tender that they can wet their faces.
“The dragon is watching, and I have gained a little bit.” Russell smiled reservedly.
Lifts, as the name suggests, are elevators.
However, it can be said that Longmian Continent has no experience in the development of electricity. The elevator is a special machine designed to be powered by the abundant magic power of gems.
After entering the elevator, Yalusi pulled the knife, and the elevator creaked up.
“What’s the principle?” Russell asked.
“It uses an array of gems to form a small runner, and uses the rotation of the runner to drive the rope, so that the ladder cage we are in can rise or fall.” Yalusi explained that the principle is not complicated.
Russell nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.
The elevator stopped at the eleventh floor, and Yalusi quickly took Russell into the office of Alex, the great polymath.
“Sir Alex is an authority in the field of plants. The “Detailed Explanation of Plants of the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame” compiled by him records most of the plants in all the territories of the Grand Duchy, especially the elven crops. The records are very detailed.”
As Aloth led the way, she explained the achievements of Alex the Great Erudite.
Russell soon met the gray-haired botanical expert, who was writing something quickly.
“Lord Alex, Erudite Russell has a new technological invention and wants to present it to the Erudite Roundtable in person.” Yalusi shouted.
After Alex finished writing a line, he raised his head and looked at Russell.
Then a look of surprise flashed past, and a heartfelt smile appeared: “Russell, a filial young scholar! The reading glasses you invented for your grandmother, Mrs. Ingrid, have greatly helped us elderly people!”
Russell saw that Alex was also wearing a pair of reading glasses on his eyes.
He smiled slightly: “It is my honor to be able to help all the great scholars and contribute to the study of truth.”
The technology of reading glasses is not worth mentioning, but it is absolutely effective in winning people’s hearts.
Because most of these great scholars are already old. Those who have practiced fighting qi are fine, and their body functions will not decline too much. Those who have not practiced fighting qi will most likely have presbyopia, and reading glasses are good news for them.
“The truth is with the Shadow Flame Dragon. How can we slack off in our pursuit.” Alex read a slogan of the Great Erudite Roundtable.
Then he smiled and invited Russell to sit down: “Arus said you have a new technological invention, please let me take a look.”
Russell took out the retting technology information compiled by Charles and Catherine: “This is a technology I have experimented with in the territory. Retting technology converts harmful excrement into beneficial fertilizer through accumulation and fermentation.”
“Oh?” Alex became interested, “Burned feces has this effect?”
Looking through the information, Alex quickly read through only a few pages of information. After reading it, he exclaimed: “So that’s it. Without fermentation, feces will indeed harm plants, but after fermentation, it can help plants grow!”
“That’s true,” Russell said. “This is also a phenomenon I discovered accidentally.”
He immediately made up a story, saying that he had observed feces out of boredom.
It was found that grass does not grow around fresh feces, but after the feces has been left for a long time, vigorous grass will grow around it. From this, retting technology was invented, which accelerated the fermentation and transformation of manure and turned harmful manure into beneficial fertilizer.
After listening to Russell’s story, Alex the Great Scholar sighed again: “Sir Russell, I have to say that you are a natural scholar!”
