Chapter 208 Broadcasting
After returning to Ilia from Osteria, Colin took a few days off with peace of mind.

In the past few days, he woke up from the quilt that his senior sister personally dried, and then ate the breakfast brought by his senior sister in the study, as if he had returned to the time of the mage tower.

Tessa was grabbing the younger brother's neck to help him straighten his sleepy hair, when she heard the report - Lady Phinea had entered Winter City.

"Let's go to meet Ms. Phinea." Colin was devouring his breakfast while twisting his head trying to avoid the clutches of his senior sister.

"Why do you go out to meet people like this, your hair is all up high, and you don't know how to sleep. Is this the same way you teach students in Ilya? Then you won't be laughed to death."

"Who dares to laugh?" Colin snorted, "Do they still want to graduate?"

"People laugh behind their backs."

"I'm well-known in the Western Continent now, and no one cares about these details."

The regret of using a fake identity is that you can’t really show your face, and you feel like you’re walking in a brocade suit, so every time Colin makes achievements, he always wants to come back and find someone to brag about. Unfortunately, the teacher is too lazy to listen to his bragging, and Veronica can’t listen to it. I understand too well, only the senior sister will praise him very cooperatively every time.

Tessa helped him tidy up his clothes, and the two of them walked out of the study, left the castle, and headed towards Winter City.

It's the end of December, and the new year will soon be ushered in.

Veronica has already traveled halfway, and will arrive at the fortress in more than 20 days without any accidents. According to the calculations of the royal court officials, there will be a good day in mid-February.

Therefore, in one and a half months, Xia Ya will usher in the lord's wedding.

"Senior sister, isn't it too early to arrange these?"

When Colin walked out of the castle, he saw a group of people building temporary wooden climbing ladders. It was obviously to decorate the outer wall of the castle. From now on, there was already a festive atmosphere in the fortress. Wald Sophia and others would say something from time to time "Congratulations, my lord."

This is obviously the atmosphere that Tessa mobilized.

"It's not too early. Some things must be arranged before the ceremony officer sent by His Majesty arrives. Otherwise, with the aesthetics of those old guys, maybe I will give you a wedding in the classical period."

"Is that bad?" Colin was puzzled.

"Of course it's not good. Black was advocating in the classical period. The reason why magic robes are all black now is the tradition left over from that time. But black is so ugly in weddings, it must be red and white." Tessa said about this At one o'clock, he was extremely persistent, even gnashing his teeth: "Of course I have the final say on my junior brother's wedding!"

Colin didn't dare to say much.

After walking for a while, he remembered something, turned around and asked:
"Senior sister, is the distribution of the mechanical clock going smoothly?"

"One-third of it has been sent out, but it will test the productivity of the workshop to complete it in such a short period of time."

"Don't be in such a hurry."

"Why would you want to distribute a mechanical clock to every household?"

"Let them watch the time." Colin said as a matter of course.

"Is this very important?" Tessa asked: "Ordinary people don't need to know very precise time."

"Of course." Colin explained earnestly: "If you know the exact time, you can plan a lot of things in advance, and the efficiency of your work will be greatly improved. I want to, but now, this hour can be saved to do other things, even an extra hour of sleep is good.

"This is just the first step. Unlike Thunder City, Winter City can be equipped with special magic towers to remind everyone regularly. Even the towers can only be reminded once every hour, which is far from enough."

The two had already walked outside the gate of the fortress, and the guards saluted one after another.

You can see the whole of Winter City below.

Colin pointed forward.

"I'm going to build four clock towers in the city, with square columns, tens of meters high, and install a huge mechanical clock dial on all four sides of the clock tower, so that people in the whole city can see the time when they look up."

"It will cost a lot." Tessa, who is the chancellor of the exchequer, said with some concern.

"But these expenses are worth it, Senior Sister." Ke Lin said: "Every citizen of Twilight City is contributing to the city, and every minute they save is precious."

"Okay." Tessa said helplessly: "However, our recent expenses have increased, why don't I go back to Thunder City and see if the teacher can find some more..."

"No, no, no." Colin felt sorry for the teacher for a second, and said with a smile: "After Ms. Phineya comes, we will have the account soon."

……

……

After all, Phinea was familiar with the player, so she quickly understood the meaning of "broadcast".

Not far away is a tall column, and the sound is coming from it.

After getting a little closer, she stopped and listened.

"Residents of Twilight City, good morning, today's temperature is 2 degrees, slightly warmer than yesterday, but it is still not recommended to reduce clothing..."

Phinea looked surprised.

"What's the meaning of this broadcast? Do they know what a tower temperature is?" She looked back at Maugham.

This kind of temperature counting method derived from magic, except for magicians, only some professional craftsmen can understand it, and ordinary people have no interest or need to know it at all.

"Students understand it, and most workers know it. Farmers may not know it, but they probably understand it." Maugham said with a smile: "Master, in Twilight City, the younger you are, the more knowledgeable you are. In the words of the lord, children are Xia Ya's future..."

Phineya nodded and continued listening.

However, the more I listen to it, the more interesting it becomes.

"Announcement from the Government Affairs Office: Families in the southwestern city who have not received a mechanical clock can go to the Government Affairs Office to register to receive it, or wait for the second round of distribution next month..."

"Next year's food collection price will be further increased..."

"From now on, Winter City will open the first batch of farmers' markets. Currently, the supplies for sale are limited to five kinds of rye, wheat, mustard, bitter thistle, and eggs. The scope of sales will be gradually expanded in the future..."

"Vegetables have many benefits for the human body..."

"..."

The content played in the "radio" is very random, there are weather reports, important notices from the government affairs department, some common sense of life, and even simple mathematics popularization, with a piece of music often inserted in the middle.

Phineya found that many people had already gathered under the pillar, and some even sat on the ground and listened relaxedly.

Apparently, most residents regard "radio" as a form of entertainment.

Phineya stood there for half an hour, and was reluctant to leave until Maugham reminded her.

However, just as he was about to board the car, a familiar name came over the radio.

"...Welcome Ms. Phinea to Winterfell..."

Feniya didn't hear the words before and after, but she was shocked enough by this sentence.

She stopped and subconsciously looked around.

Not far away, Colin Wayne took Tessa and was slowly waving at her.
