Kingdom of Holm, County Pephos, small town Samara.!
At the end of the golden moon, the night begins to advance quietly, and the time that originally belonged to the setting sun dyeing everything red has become dim and dim. But Pefos Skirt is the top three prosperous places in the Kingdom of Holm, a small town.
Street lamps and electric poles were also erected on the streets of Samara. The magic crystal lamps, connected by wires, began to bloom with bright and clear light, excluding the darkness from their own coverage.
The citizens of the small town took to the streets in twos and threes and walked towards the only square - Baron Bechigo Square. There was a magic broadcast installed by the city hall. Whenever night fell, it would make a "loud sound"
, delivering radio programs such as "Mysterious Voice" to everyone.
As there are more and more broadcast channels, citizens are also troubled with choice. Although "Secret Voice" is very good and is their first choice, there is no program that can satisfy everyone's tastes, so everyone has their dislikes.
A certain "Mysterious Voice" column, but unfortunately the magic radio does not belong to me, so I cannot "change the channel" when encountering similar programs.
"You must work hard, save money, and go to 'Elemental Gift' to buy a magic radio!" Banus, a young man wearing a short jacket, said with fists.
The companion next to him said with envy and yearning: "I heard that in big cities such as Rentat, anyone who subscribes to a newspaper for one year can get a magic radio as a gift!"
"Really? Is this much cheaper? Those who sell newspapers are not afraid of bankruptcy?" Banus asked in disbelief. This is a good thing that he has never heard of.
His companion was a big boy with freckles. He cut his hair and said: "I heard that these newspapers are run by the radio station itself, mainly to increase the coverage of magic radio. Her Majesty the Queen also signed and promulgated the
According to the "Ordinance on Promoting the Development of Broadcasting" submitted by the Parliament, every time a radio station sends out a magic radio, it can receive a certain range of monetary subsidies and tax exemptions, and..."
His voice gradually became lower, and he pretended to be mysterious: "I heard that there is also the promotion of the Magic Council behind this. They give the radio station huge subsidies in the form of advertising, so the radio station will basically not lose money..."
"Magician?" Banus suddenly became excited, and then suddenly realized, "By the way, they developed the magic radio. The more they sell, the more they will make!"
"Of course, do you think magicians who study the nature of the world will be fools? They are much smarter than you!" the older boy sneered.
As for the political significance, they don't understand it at all.
Banus suddenly exclaimed: "Ali, how do you know these things? 'The mysterious voice, I didn't tell you!"
Only then did he feel strange, how could his companion who had the same knowledge as him suddenly become a scholar?
The big boy Ali hooked his fingers and said in a small but very proud voice: "This is what someone told me, a noble lady from Rentat!"
"The noble lady of Lentat? How could you know the noble lady of Lentat?" Banus was completely shocked. For people from small cities like them, even with the vision brought by the "Mysterious Voice"
It is open and open, but I still have a heartfelt awe for the nobles in the small town. I think they are unattainable, that their life is luxurious and enjoyable, and that they are in a different world from myself and others.
Compared with the nobles of Rentat, the capital, the nobles of the small town are nothing. If the nobles of Rentat are swans and the nobles of the capital of Pefosshire are white geese, then the nobles of the small town are ugly ducklings at best -
- This term comes from the "Voice of Mystery". The biggest hobby of these nobles is to follow the fashion trends of Rentat and imitate the dress, daily behavior and entertainment methods of the capital's nobles.
The nobles in the small town have this kind of mentality. Banus and other civilians are naturally even more serious, and they consider themselves "hillbillies" in their hearts.
Ali chuckled and said: "Pen pal, she is my pen pal!"
"Pen pal, what is that?" A confused look appeared on Banus' horse face.
"I told you to learn more words, but you didn't listen. After the postal department was established, some newspapers launched a letter-writing campaign, allowing people in two different cities to become friends by writing to each other, because simply relying on words
Communicate, so we call them pen pals.”
Ali enthusiastically introduced Banus, "Think about it, maybe we will never be able to leave this small town in our lifetime, but we have sincere friends in Rentat, in Pefos, and in other major cities.
Strange yet familiar friends, friends who have never met but communicated with each other through words, what a beautiful thing it is..."
He looked intoxicated and obviously liked this pen pal method.
"Sounds great!" Banus opened his mouth wide, looking like he was infected. Only then did he deeply realize the importance of words. The biggest difference between him and Ali is that his father used to be a scribe!
As a follower of Ali, he learned to write and then taught him,! However, he could only rely on Ali's occasional explanations and could only recognize a few words and could not read the newspaper at all!
"This kind of communication has no interests, no entanglements of lust, does not look at each other's faces, and does not care about other people's identities. It is the most sincere way of communication between people." Ali looked like the host of the "Mysterious Voice" psychological program.
, "So, what I said before is from the pen pal. She is a noble of Rentat. She has her own magic radio. She can listen to other channels freely and get news from other nobles. It is definitely not
Would lie about something like this."
"You kid, you actually hooked up with a noble lady!" Banus hit Ali hard on the shoulder.
Ali protested: "What does hooking up mean? We are purely pen pals!"
"You dare to say that you haven't fantasized about her? What kind of aristocratic lady is she?" Banus glanced at Ali, I don't know what your character is like yet?
Ali's expression softened: "The tone of her letters has always been very gentle. She is definitely a well-educated girl. And after knowing my identity, she did not discriminate against me. She answered all my questions and would talk to me.
Share interesting things in life... Her handwriting is delicate and should be very similar to her..."
Seeing Ali's expression and listening to her description, Banus' excitement gradually calmed down and he couldn't help but say: "Ali, you have to remember that she is a noble, and you are just an ordinary civilian."
"I know, we are a pure pen pal relationship!" Ali waved his hand to indicate that he understood, then changed the subject, and talked endlessly about the scene in Lentat described by his "pen pal" to him, describing the ever-changing changes
It's more exaggerated.
"The big city is great. There are such kind-hearted noble ladies, and there are such shocking changes..." Banus was shocked. Although the "Voice of Mystery" mentioned similar changes, due to limited time, there was absolutely no talk about it by Ali.
In such detail, "And only big cities can give you a magic radio when you subscribe to a year's newspaper!"
"Yes, I must go to Rentat to see it!" Ali also looked yearning for it.
Banus's mind was racing, and he suddenly said excitedly: "Let's go to a big city to subscribe to a newspaper. The round-trip magic steam train fare plus the annual newspaper cost is at most half of the magic radio. It will still save a lot!"
"No, something similar happened before, so now you have to be a citizen of a big city to enjoy this kind of gift." Ali sighed bitterly.
This, this is discrimination! Banus completely forgot about his praise and yearning for the big city just now, and blurted out: "Go to your big city!"
The two people moved forward while discussing, and gradually arrived at Baron Beqig Square.
"Today is the opening ceremony of the Rentat Music Festival. I wonder what special program 'Mysterious Sound' will have?" Ali thought expectantly.
Banus nodded. Suddenly, his eyes widened: "Magic, magician!"
In the square, there is a young magician wearing a black dress floating. A stream of silvery light spreads out of his hand, which is connected to the strange curtain in the center of the square. Around the curtain, there are six or seven people who are constantly taking out
The person who arranges the items is obviously also a magician!
"Really, really a magician!" Ali stuttered in surprise.
Then the two of them got excited. Apart from street magic, it was a rare thing to see a magician casting spells at such a close range. So, they squeezed towards the center of the square. Unfortunately, there was a huge crowd of people in front of them, making it difficult to move. Every citizen who came to the square was like
They have the same mentality!
"What happened? Why did the magicians appear here?" Seeing that he couldn't squeeze in, Ali hurriedly asked the citizens in front.
A commoner in the front who was good at inquiring about things and was willing to show off loudly replied: "It is said that the opening opera of the Rentat musician is going to be broadcast live?"
"Straight, live broadcast?" Banus and Ali both opened their mouths in shock. They had heard the term "live broadcast" in the "Mysterious Voice", but they never thought that they would encounter it in their small town!
Seeing a screen and the surrounding magic circle gradually taking shape, the magician floating in the air began to connect to the "artificial planet" in orbit and make final adjustments.
"Sir, is it okay?" the magician arranged below asked.
The mid-level magician nodded lightly: "You have done a good job. This is a good opportunity to show our new style as magicians."
"Humph, the Aalto Music Festival only has live broadcasts in the Aalto Municipal Square. It's so stingy!"
The goal of our Magic Council is that cities with council local organizations in the four Strait Countries and the Northland Coastal Corridor can all see the "live broadcast" through satellite!
