After accepting the punishment, Marpel simply began training in the courtyard, while Owen went to the study.Located in the middle of the third floor, the highest floor of the castle, the study is small in size, with a glass window facing the doorway, in front of which a desk and a chair are placed, and on both sides of the room there are bookshelves filled with all kinds of books.
【Wow!
Your family has a lot of books, and you are really a wealthy aristocrat. 】Winster knew that the books were made of parchment.Each book is so valuable that it is impossible for civilians to afford it.Coming to the bookshelf, Owen stretched out his right hand and brushed the books on the shelf, and he couldn't help but have a nostalgic expression on his face.
[These books are the accumulation of the Eisen family for many years, my father is very fond of books, and often read to me when I was a child.As a result, I have grown to love reading, and I have read every single one of the books here. 】[Okay, okay, don't be emotional!
Hurry up and get down to business!
】Winster urged.
[Got it, don't rush. 】The main thing is that Owen quickly browses the books, and allows Winster to obtain and decipher the text of the world and store the text in the database.There are many advantages to this, such as Winster can directly provide translated books or blueprints from other worlds, etc., and when he upgrades Owen's system in the future, he can also replace it with a script he knows.Owen casually took out a copy of "The History of Morning Light", spread it out in his hand, and opened it from the first page.Browsing is fast, after all, he doesn't need to read word for word.Even so, Winster kept urging Owen to turn a little faster, a little faster, a little faster.Isn't that slow?
In the end, Owen had to put his thumb against the side of the book, and quickly turn the pages with the force of the book's bending, and he finished a book in more than ten seconds.Then I flipped through a few more books in the same way until Winster said to stop.
[Is that okay?]
I turned it so fast, did the words in the book be recorded?
】Owen questioned this.
[Okay, not only has it been recorded, but the decipherment has also been completed.] 】[Huh?
That's it?
】Owen was amazed that it took so little time to decipher a text he had never seen before, was this the high-tech power that Winster was talking about?
[Haha, little meaning, there will be more things that will surprise you in the future. 】[Oh?
Then I'll see. 】The decipherment of the text was done, and Owen asked the guard at the door to call Ryan over, while he sat at his desk to deal with the documents that had piled up yesterday.Knock knock!
Before entering, Ryan knocked on the door, and then bowed to Owen's chest: "Master, do you have something to look for me?"
”After writing the last word, Owen put down his quill and looked up at Ryan."
Well, Ryan, you take someone to clear out the innermost room on the first floor of the castle where the sundries are placed, and put the sundries somewhere else, and then hire someone to dig a square pit in the center of the room, about a meter deep, the area is half of the floor area of the room, and finally fill the square pit with sand.""
Yes, master."
With that, Ryan was ready to leave to run errands.Owen suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped him: "Eh, wait a minute, there are still windows to cover with curtains." ”"Yes."
Ryan nodded, "Do you have any other requirements?"
”"Hmm......
No, you can step aside. ”Ryan stroked his chest and retreated, and Owen continued to work on the papers at hand.As the steward of this castle, Ryan is undoubtedly very qualified.As long as it is not a dangerous matter, he never asks, and completes the tasks assigned to him by the head of the family seriously and efficiently.The reason why Owen wanted to build this bunker in the castle was to facilitate the transfer of things from another world in the future.Why do you use sand?
This involves what Winster said about conservation of mass, and Owen didn't understand it very well.It is said that the masses of two parallel universes are certain and equal, and the transfer of things between parallel universes must be carried out in both directions, otherwise the mass of one parallel universe will increase for no reason, and the mass of the other parallel universe will decrease, which will be a big problem.Winster explained to Owen in layman's way of explaining the principle of transfer to the same quality of sand for something from another world.…… Owen spent the whole morning in the castle taking care of business.In the afternoon, he took Mapel, who had completed his training, out to the test field where yesterday's accident occurred.As soon as she left the castle, Mapel raised her vigilance to the highest level.She walked in front of Owen, her right hand resting on the hilt of her sword all the time, her eyes fierce and cold, and the civilians who passed by chose to avoid it.
[Hey, is your knight going to kill someone?]
So fierce. 】Winster teased.
[It's not you who hurt it!]
】Owen cursed.However, Marpel's appearance will make Owen's style as a lord be harmed, which is not good.There was no way, so he had to persuade loudly: "Marpel, you don't have to be like this, yesterday's accident won't happen again." ”"That's not going to work."
Marpel stopped and turned around, "Yesterday I thought it was safe, but there was an accident, it is the knight's responsibility to protect the lord's safety, and I must make sure that nothing can get close to Lord Owen." ”"So, for my safety, you don't even listen to me, do you?""
This ......," Mapel was momentarily speechless.Disobedience is disloyalty, and knights are the embodiment of loyalty.When Marpel was appointed chief knight, he was loyal to Owen.This was difficult, and she was suddenly caught in a dilemma, not knowing what to do."
Alright, Marpel.I know you didn't like to use your brain since you were a child, and I can't bear to see you so embarrassed. ”Owen smiled and shook his head, then said, "Guardianship and loyalty are both important, you don't need to choose one or the other.It's just that your act of protecting me has gone too far, you look at the little girl over there, I know that she admires you very much, and once gave you flowers, but now she doesn't dare to come near you. ”Marpel looked in the direction Owen was pointing, and it was really the little girl who had given her flowers before.Now the little girl is hiding far away, obviously afraid of herself.After Owen said this, Marpel suddenly knew that he had overreacted."
I'm sorry, Owen-sama."
She looked guilty, "A dull knight like me may not be worthy of being your chief knight." ”"Don't say that, Marpel."
Owen's face was grim, and he corrected: "You have been my playmate since you were a child, I know you very well, and I trust you very much, and no one can be my chief knight except you."
Moreover, it is an undeniable fact that you have saved the lives of many people, including me, by doing a brilliant job of the task given to you by your father last winter, and that you are a very good knight, and I will not allow you to deny yourself like that. ”Being so praised by Owen, Marpel's cheeks flushed and she hung her head a little embarrassed."
Yes, Lord Owen, I will definitely fulfill my duties as chief knight.""
Alright, let's go."
This time, Marpel honestly followed Owen.Looking at Owen's back, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend up slightly, and her heart was warm.What happened to you last winter?
】On the way, Winster couldn't help but ask Owen about it, wanting to find out.
[Hmm......
I'll elaborate on it when I'm free, but let's get down to business. 】[Oh well. 】
