Chapter 886： New rules (1/2)
The embarrassing topic was finally over, and both Gavin and Hetty felt relieved-then their attention was refocused on the Blazers' shield.
This legendary shield lay quietly on the table. The weathered and corroded metal coating wrapped the almost new alloy body with a faint silver light inside. The sunlight shone on the surface of its metal parts. It seems that centuries of time have settled in the light. Hetty stared at it for a long time, and then coughed gently to break the silence: "ancestor, how are you going to publicize this?"
If it was Hetty a few years ago, the first reaction after seeing the Guardian ’s Shield must have been to consolidate the glory of the family. It was a treasure returned to Cecil ’s treasure trove, thinking of the promotion of family status and The restoration of influence, but years have changed her. At this time, without Gao Wen reminding her, she knows how to maximize the value of this lost treasure.
"Only announced that the dragon friends of the empire helped us retrieve this shield. In addition, do not make any official additions or statements-leave everything to the public opinion to ferment, and let the MIB pay attention to it," Gao Wen said casually, "This incident itself does not have any insider information, so the official caliber only needs to say so much."
"Yes, ancestors," Herty nodded, and then once again couldn't help but cast his sights on the guardian's shield. "It's just that I didn't really think ... it just came back like this ..."
"In the war years, this shield was a vital asset for the expeditionary army, and many people's lives and deaths were pinned on it, but that era has passed," Gao Wen shook his head gently, his tone was flat and low, " Now it ’s just a shield-the symbolic meaning behind it may bring us some benefits, but that ’s all. ”
Hetty glanced at Gao Wen and thought deeply: "Do you want people to pay too much attention to the return of the 'Guardian of the Kingdom'?"
"We still have a lot of more important and practical things to pay attention to," Gao Wen said casually. "On the other hand, the excessive attention and promotion of the 'Guardian of the Kingdom' is likely to re-excite the old knighthood and the noble nobles in the bloodline. The enthusiasm for nobleness and family glory has brought the social atmosphere back to the worship of nobility and justice of the lineage-we finally pressed this thing down, and we must avoid it from making a comeback, so in the "Guardian of the Kingdom" matter In the past, the Office of Government Affairs only needs the most basic propaganda and positive guidance. "
Hetty immediately lowered her head deeply: "Yes, I understand."
Gao Wen yelled, did not say anything more on this topic, but after a moment of meditation, he seemed to ask casually: "What is the status of the observatory project that Kamel previously applied for?"
"Are you saying the Paramel Observatory project?" Heti blinked and quickly sorted out the corresponding information in his mind. "The project has passed the audit of the Government Affairs Department and construction has begun. The first batch of skilled workers arrived last week. The Paramel Heights is currently progressing smoothly. In addition, the first resident scholars have also been selected, and the head of the Paramel Observatory is Mr. Morgan Morgan, the great magician. "
Gao Wen recalled the name he heard: "Morgan ... I remember he was the original royal mage from Saint Sunil."
"Yes, Master Morgan is a member of the former Masters’ Association of Saint Sunil ’s Masters and the Astrologer. He has been an astrological consultant for the old royal family for decades. He is an expert in the fields of astrology, astrometry and planetary natural history. We have calculated the rough distance between our planet and the sun, and accurately predicted the date when two asteroids skimmed the sky, which is trustworthy in knowledge. After the siege of San Sunil, the stargazing tower of the old king capital is at It was severely damaged in the war and has not been completely repaired so far, so this 'star expert' came to the Southland at the invitation of Master Kamel. After hearing that Paramel Heights will build a new observatory based on modern technology, he volunteered to sign up Now. "
"Such scholars are the treasures of the empire, and they must be treated with utmost importance," Gavin said while nodding while listening to Hetty's introduction. "In addition, the Paramel Observatory can have an additional period of funding-there is Kamal One of the best 'windows' in the Empire's territory has been calculated, the sooner it is allowed to function. "
"Yes," Hetty immediately took orders, and then she couldn't help but look at Gao Wen with a smile, "Ancestor, you really value the plans put forward by Master Kamel to set up the observatory and observe the starry sky." . "
Gao Wen couldn't help but think of the previous conversations with Melita and Noleta, recalling those impressions about the Viplandon Observatory and the glorious technology of the old Gondola. Although many memories are not his, but that kind of The regrets and emotions that permeated through the retrospective memory really filled his heart, which made him unable to help but sigh gently, watching Hetty solemnly said: "Related to the study of the starry sky Projects are important—although they may not see huge economic benefits like railways and mines in the short term, in the long-term future, they may brew various technological changes that will change the world without even considering These distant things, curiosity about the unknown and the distant place is also the biggest driving force for mortal development-Hetty, the most mysterious unknown in the world full of secrets, is in the starry sky above us. "
"I understand your words," Hetty smiled, with a hint of happiness in her eyes, "Ancestor, don't forget-I'm also a mage, although I can't indulge in research as before, but I still Is a mage, and the mage is the most passionate about exploring the unknown. "
Gao Wen looked at Hetty who was smiling in front of him. After a few seconds, he also smiled.
"In the age of the ancient Gondor, humans have become curious about the starry sky above us. Various observatories and stargazing stations are scattered in various 'windows'. Our scholars have created a natural interweaving through magic ripples in the atmosphere. The channel observes the cosmic starry sky and speculates on the secrets of our own world. It was a brilliant and exciting era ... However, before they really developed, the magic tide erased everything.
"Now, it may be time for some of our eyes to return to the starry sky."
...
Wearing a red and gold robe, Malm Dunett lowered his eyelids, his hands folded on his chest, the gold beads and amulets wrapped around his wrists hung down, and there was a slight glow in the light.
In the pious prayer to the God of War, his heart gradually calmed down, and with the whispering voice in his ears as if containing infinite knowledge, the burly and sturdy old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at To Matilda Augustus standing in front of himself.
"His Royal Highness, on behalf of the church, I would like to thank the royal family for this year ’s support for the God of War Festival and for the consistent protection of the believers," he said in a low voice, "May the God of War shelter you and your family, and may the glorious Augustus Will stand forever on this land blessed by the Lord. "
"It is the duty of the Augustus family to support the operation of the church in the empire, and it is our innate responsibility to protect the people of the empire," Matilda nodded slightly and respectfully politely respected the old man in Chinese. But always maintain a decent tone, "The Church of God of War is the most powerful church in Tifeng, and you have a huge influence on tens of thousands of Tifeng people-our majesty hopes to see you as always and correctly Influence the believers and let them follow the right path. "
Malm Dunnet, with a calm smile on his face, nodded slightly: "This is also the duty and responsibility entrusted to me by the Lord."
