LOL: I'm a bad prince in Demacia

Chapter 82 It's clearly agreed to be bad together!
"Navis!"

Lu Qi's voice was a little heavier, and he said, "I have a task for you, and I order you to develop the microphone quickly."

Hearing this, Navis subconsciously stood up straight and replied, "Yes!"

Eh?
Immediately, she froze for a moment.

Why did you get so confused that you accepted a mission?
"I'm waiting for your good news."

Lu Qi smiled.

Microphone, good stuff.

After researching it, he will install one at home at that time. When he wakes up every day when his mouth is dry, he doesn't need to get out of bed, just call Yuerna directly.

It's not in vain for him to waste his tongue for so long!

"Your Highness, I heard that you are looking for me, and there are other matters."

Navis came back to her senses, her voice returned to normal, she seemed to have no strength.

"Ah, yes." At this moment, Lu Qi also remembered his real purpose of coming here today, "I'll tell you about the newspaper."

Not much to say this time, just a concept.

After listening, Navis sighed: "I had a similar idea before. But when I proposed it, many people laughed at me, and I didn't have the funds to prepare."

The current Demacia basically uses transcription and lithographic methods, which are very rigid and inflexible.

Generally, official bulletins are transcribed by special people, and then posted outside for the common people to watch.

Lithographic printing, on the other hand, can basically only deal with books, because the content of books is rigid. It only needs to burn out the fixed words, then copy them with ink and paper, and then fix these papers together, and paste the leather surface prepared in advance.

The whole process is laborious and time consuming.

Don't look at Lu Qi and the others who have books to read every day. In fact, folk books are extremely expensive.

There is even a kind of occupation, which is to copy and write books for others.

Therefore, it will definitely cost money in the initial stage to make a big deal of printing.

Whether it's paper, equipment, or manpower and material resources, it's a lot of money, and the three thousand gold coins on Lu Qi's body may not be enough to spend.

That's why he recruited three of them, Lacus, Fiona, and Kashina.

Under the premise of not being sure that this thing will explode in the future, naturally no one would dare to try it lightly.

It stands to reason that Navis is the young lady of the doorman family, so she should be qualified.

In reality, however, this is not the case.

Because her mother didn't listen to the family's words, she married an ordinary craftsman without permission, which made her not very popular in the doorman family.

Even though her name has the word "menke" in it, some people regard her as an outsider.

Looking at the girl who bowed her head in front of her, Lu Qi said: "Now you don't have to worry about this problem, just do it boldly according to your ideas."

Navis raised her head, looked at Lu Qi, and said with some confidence: "But... can I do it? Why don't you go find someone else?"

In terms of talent, she doesn't seem to be the most outstanding in the Menke family.

She often makes some useless inventions, leading many people in the family to think she is the most stupid one.

It obviously has no advantages.
Lu Qi looked her up and down, and said seriously: "Because other people don't seem to be as easy to fool as you."

Navis: "???"

She couldn't help but stay on the spot.

What is the reason?
"Then it's settled. From now on, you will work for His Highness."

Seeing that she still seemed to be a little confused, Lu Qi made a final decision.

"Hey, wait a minute." Navis quickly came to her senses, wanting to say something.

She hasn't said whether she wants to accept it or not.

Lu Qi stared at her, snorted coldly and said, "Why, do you want to reject His Highness? I'll ask you, do you want to?"

Under the gaze of those star eyes, Navis immediately felt a lot of pressure. She lowered her head nervously, her face flushed a little, but she didn't have the courage to refuse, and finally said weakly: "Yes."

When she said this, she was so wronged that she almost cried.

"You're sensible." Lu Qi didn't care. He hasn't met such a bully girl for a long time, so he naturally didn't want to let it go, so he intensified and said, "Don't worry, my Highness won't let you work for nothing. If it’s good, I can give you a monthly salary of ten gold.”

Navis raised her head in a daze, her expression even more confused.

Ten gold a month.

And still occasionally in a good mood.

She suddenly felt that her life was gloomy.

"Okay, stop bullying her!"

At this time, Lux couldn't stand it anymore, rushed up and punched Lu Qi, and then gave him a hard look.

Then, she pulled Navis away and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I can add more hardware for you in private."

Navis: "."

You two, where are you demons from!

Is there a big difference between ten gold and fifteen gold?

In the end, it was Katina who acted as the face and comforted Navis.

But in the end, Navis didn't say whether she wanted it or not.

Anyway, I was already on board in a daze.

And all four of them discovered that Navise was really easy to bully.

She is an honest girl with no borders, she is quite weak in nature, and she is submissive in character.

Of course, Lu Qi was basically the only one present who would bully others cheaply, and there was no chance now, because Navis was temporarily protected.

At this moment, everyone is switching venues.

Because the Menke family is a family of craftsmen, there is a large workshop within the family, which can be regarded as the industrial base for their internal personnel.

General research and development is carried out here.

With Navis leading the way, everyone moved forward.

When he arrived at the place, Lu Qi found a square. In the center of the square was a three to four meter tall statue, which looked like a leopard and a lion.

After taking a closer look, this statue seems to be made of forbidden magic stone, and it should have a certain history.

Lu Qi flipped through his memories from the books he had read, and the name of this statue was probably called "Anti-magic Quartz Field Beast".

Rumor has it that in ancient battlefields, this quartz statue was used to charge into battle.

This made Lu Qi think of the giant statue outside the city, Galio.

It has the same story. Ancient people used it to fight against mages. Often the battles it appeared in were one-sided, and it was regarded as a hero by countless Demacians.

But now, this has become a legend.

Already, in people's minds, the giant statue outside the city seems to have never moved.

These stories were later thought to be codified, and although they were not forgotten, they were not believed.

After all, there is no moving stone statue.

Withdrawing his thoughts from the beast in front of him, Lu Qi looked around, one steel building after another was lined up in a circle, and he was greeted by a sense of machinery.

"It's here."

Navis stood in front of an iron door twice as big as her body, pressed her body against it, and pushed hard inside.

Lu Qi stretched out his hand to add strength.

"thanks."

Seeing that the door was easily pushed open, Navis carefully thanked her and walked in.

Everyone also entered, and the space here is not small. At a glance, all kinds of steel accessories, basically craftsman's equipment are also readily available.

"Your Highness, regarding the newspaper, can you tell us your thoughts?"

Navis stood there, wanting to hear Lu Qi's opinion.

Just confirmed that the concept is the same.

Now, as to how to start, there is still a question.

Regarding this, Lu Qi had been prepared for a long time, so he asked, "Do you know typesetting and letterpress printing?"

"here we go again!"

When the three girls of Lacus heard this, they immediately rolled their eyes.

They seemed to have a premonition of what was going to happen next.

He simply didn't wait where he was, and decided to go outside to see the scenery.

After all, you can't understand what you listen to, and you can't join the topic.

This time, Navis did not understand, and said, "Can you expand on this?"

"What is called Typesetting and Letterpress Printing"

Lu Qi didn't talk nonsense, and started talking again.

And Navis stood opposite, nodding while listening, with a very serious expression.

The three of Lacus came outside and wandered around in the nearby garden, waiting to go back later.

"Now I suspect that he secretly reads books behind my back!"

Walking on the road, Lacus showed anger and confusion.

Why does this guy know so much?It seems like a little bit of everything.

Obviously, she was the same as her in class, and she didn't see where she was going seriously. She only ate and slept all day long.

But what he's showing now is not at all what a scumbag should look like!

It's not right, it's [-] points wrong!
This made her suddenly feel betrayed.

It's clear that we agreed to show it off together!
What do you mean by secretly working hard, kid?
When Kashina heard this, she smiled and said, "Maybe it's because His Highness has outstanding talent."

Today's Lu Qi opened her eyes again.

Because of her personality, Navis stayed at home all year round, so she never went to the academy.

However, as her friend, Kashina knew that Navise's knowledge was already much higher than that of her peers.

However, Navis like this is like an apprentice in front of Lu Qi today.

This once again made Kashina realize the extraordinaryness of Lu Qi.

She couldn't help thinking of the thank you gift she thought about last night, and she became a little distracted.

"Heh" Lacus sneered, just about to refute her words, but was suddenly attracted by a flash of light, glanced sideways, and found the necklace that inadvertently appeared on Kashina's chest.

Feeling familiar for a while, he muttered, "I don't think I've seen this necklace before."

Hearing her words, Kasina came back to her senses, lowered her head and hurriedly put the necklace back into her clothes, and changed the subject forcefully, "What did you just say?"

"I said item"

"No, the last sentence."

"What did I say last time? That's right! Lu Qi, that guy, secretly worked hard behind my back!"

"Really? Your Highness is too bad!"

Kashina immediately stood in the position of a good sister, showing an expression of righteous indignation.

This makes Lux full of firepower.

The two immediately started a burst of output to Lu Qi.

On the side, Fiona, who didn't join the conversation, calmly looked away from Kashina's neck, as if she knew something.

After half an hour.

The three girls returned.

But at this time, Lu Qi had said almost the same thing, and there was no need to say anything more.

Because he discovered that Navise was very talented and possessed a lot of knowledge. Basically, she could understand many things at one point, and she could even draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

This made Lu Qi very relieved.

I feel that I have found a good employee in this wave.

Up to now, Navis has heard it very clearly.

"That is to say, we should start with the typesetting of the typesetting, express the characters of Debang as lead and iron, and then put them together in different ways, and take the typesetting when needed. .”

She said to Lu Qi.

"Well, that's about it."

Lu Qi nodded, found Navis who was still about to say something, raised his hand to interrupt, and then patted her on the shoulder: "You are now a qualified laborer, you have to learn to study by yourself, for ten gold coins, do your best. effort."

Navis: "."

As soon as she heard the ten gold coins, she suddenly wanted to sabotage her work.

Of course, just think about it that way.

Her heart is full of motivation at this moment, and she can't wait to start studying printing.

Naturally, she didn't care about salary. What Navis loves most is the artisan itself, and what she really cares about is what she gains in the process.

He raised his eyes and took a sneak peek at Lu Qi.

I have to say that His Royal Highness is really amazing.

Today brought her a lot of inspiration.

After calming down her confidence, Navis raised her head and said cautiously: "Then Your Highness, I will start according to my own ideas."

Lu Qi replied with a flat expression: "Well, you can do whatever you want."

Navis nodded, then turned and walked towards the workbench.

After glancing at the girl's back, Lu Qi withdrew his gaze.

It's not that he doesn't care, but after several conversations, he thinks that Navis' ideas are sometimes better than his.

Therefore, at this time, he will not control Navis.

Otherwise, what I am looking for this time is not a good employee, but a puppet.

at this time.

Fiona was wandering around in the workshop when she suddenly noticed something and got closer.

Crouching down, in front of you is an iron statue?Or dummy?At this time, it stretched its body like a piece of scrap metal and placed it here.

She took a closer look and found that the dummy seemed to be full of accessories.

Can't help but be very curious.

She stood up and asked, "Navis, what is this?"

Navis looked at it, and then replied: "That's something I was researching a while ago, I called him a training dummy."

Seeing the curiosity in Fiona's eyes, she trotted over.

"Can you give me a hug?"

She wanted to pick up the dummy by herself, but found it difficult, so she looked at Fiona for help.

Fiona nodded and reached out to help her hug her easily.

Navis continued: "Help move to the open space over there."

When she reached the open space, she took a spring that she had held in her hand before she went, found the insertion hole, and inserted it.

Then turned very hard several times.
