Chapter 280

Everyone, including the sword master, was unable to catch the thunder sword user's footsteps and aura, so they allowed her to knock Rin down directly.

Compared to the sword user, this daughter of the sword master is obviously more suitable to be an assassin, and she is definitely the king of assassins with the talent of super stealth.

Raphael saw Rin clearly, his face turned red with anger, and he shook his head.

"Damn you dwarf, you are the first to complain!"

"You walk with your head down every day. Your eyes are under your nostrils, right?"

"That's better than having your eyes on your forehead!"

The two of them immediately glared at each other, gnashing their teeth in anger, but all they were thinking about was that they didn't look at the almanac when they went out today, and they stepped on a dog.

Chapter 56: Sooner or later I will ride on you

"You bitch, apologize to this young master!"

Rin rubbed his forehead again, his blood pressure rising.

In less than a month, this woman actually hit him three times.

Just forget it once or twice, but still say it wasn’t intentional the third time? !

Raphael was originally a person who was soft-spoken and would not take hard-nosed advice, so he usually let it go, but Rin looked very displeased with the aristocratic and villainous appearance.

"Apologise? You're dreaming! Don't expect me and a rude guy like you to apologize!"

Rin's temper really got worse this time. He looked left and right, pointed angrily at Raphael, and bared his fangs.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? I was still scolding you before, but now I see that this hedgehog is disrespectful to His Highness, why don't you take her down quickly?"

"Forehead……"

This group of knights worked in the Glorious Cathedral and knew Raphael's identity, so they felt that this matter should not be a big deal, so one of them stepped forward to dissuade him.

"Your Highness, Ms. Raphael's mother, the Meteor Star Sword Master, is the honorary archbishop of our Holy Religion. This time, she came to represent the Meteor Star Sword Master to discuss matters. It is not appropriate to cause a big fuss."

After speaking, he approached Raphael again and whispered: "Miss Raphael, His Royal Highness the Holy Son has a high status and we should respect him. You'd better say something nice, just... just treat it as coaxing. Your Highness."

His voice was very low, and normally others could not hear it, but Rin's hearing was not normal.

"Hello?! Don't you think His Highness didn't hear this?"

Rin secretly cursed the guy who cheated, and was about to reprimand him when he saw Raphael looking him up and down with a proud smile.

"If you want me to coax you, you can call me, sister, to come and listen."

At this time, Xiye took a step forward and protected Rin behind her. She was full of momentum and her hand was already on the hilt of the sword.

"Aren't you always asking to compete with me? I'll give you a chance this time, but if you lose, you have to apologize to my brother."

In her eyes, although Rafael was about the same age as her, he was actually a child spoiled by his family. She wouldn't have cared about his quarrels with her brother, and she even wanted to leave quickly so as not to get entangled with this girl again.

But the other party wanted Rin to call her sister, which just hit Yuye's back, and she couldn't help but take action.

Rin immediately beamed and crossed his arms as if watching a good show.

The other knights were relieved when they saw this, and they rushed to Rin's side to watch the battle together. They were unable to take action, but it was another matter for the Kingdom Sword Master to take action.

Raphael was also overjoyed, and said excitedly while drawing out the thin sword surrounded by thunder and lightning.

"You never accepted the challenge before. I thought that the sword master who is as famous as my mother turned out to be a coward. Now, I finally got what I deserved... um."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Xiye's figure disappearing on the spot, coming to her in an instant, and the scabbard hitting her neck.

"You lost."

Raphael shook his hand and said angrily: "You are attacking me secretly! I'm not ready yet!"

Xiye became fierce, transformed into a stern teacher, and said coldly: "Why, on the battlefield, the enemy still gives you time to prepare?"

Rafael was startled by the stern tone, he opened his mouth to defend, and finally lowered his head.

Rin smiled proudly: "Even if I give you time to prepare, you don't really think that a forty-level Thunder Sword user like me can beat my fifty-level sword master."

Unexpectedly, Raphael seemed to have been stabbed in a painful spot. He raised his head and glared at Rin fiercely, then held the sword tightly.

"Only fools care about level. Next time, I won't lose."

With that said, he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Xiye.

"Where's the apology?"

Rafael was so wronged that her nose was sore and she almost cried, but she had always been a person who kept her word.

"Yes... right..."

"Hello? Are you a mosquito?"

"I'm sorry Hundan! You bullied me! I'll beat you to death sooner or later!"

Raphael yelled something loudly. After thinking about it for a while, he thought it was too cheap. Then he thought about how he usually tame strong horses, and blurted out another sentence.

"No, sooner or later I'll ride you like a horse!"

"Why are you yelling so loudly! It was obviously you who bumped into me, how can you make sense! You still have the nerve to say that I bullied you!"

Rin also roared, but the other person had already disappeared in a flash, so he could only snort in displeasure.

Touching his chin, he couldn't help but mutter: "I didn't go too far, did I?"

Xiye looked at him with extremely soft eyes, and stretched out her hand to smooth out his coat, which was a little messy.

"Raphael is not a bad girl, she just has an awkward personality like my brother, so don't bother her."

"? What do you mean I have an awkward personality? I have fish lips..."

After all, there were outsiders, so Rin swallowed his verbal sarcasm and raised his chin: "I don't bother to pay attention to her. By the way, how do you know her?"

Xiye said softly: "She has been waiting in the arena for a while, and she pesters me to challenge her whenever she sees me."

"...It sounds so troublesome, no wonder you didn't go to the arena today."

While chatting with Xiye, Rin had already arrived in front of the printing workshop.

The emblem of the Holy Church was hung in front of the workshop, and it was just a simple stone tablet with printing engraved and placed at the door, which was not conspicuous in such a remote place.

Rin walked in, and the people inside were wandering around the printing press in groups of three or two, and it seemed that their work was very leisurely.

Seeing Rin and the Templar behind him, the people in the workshop were stunned for a while, and then a man in brown monk clothes hurried over.

"Greetings, Your Highness! I am the head of this printing workshop, Monk B. May I ask if Your Highness has any instructions for you?"

Monk's clothes and vestments are different. If you have to distinguish them, they are casual clothes, which can be worn by both working personnel and believers on weekdays, while the vestments of white robes are work clothes, which must be worn by working priests on formal occasions.

Some working personnel who did not pass the priest examination but also preached for the church would also call themselves monks.

Rin looked around and asked, "Are you all so idle?"

Monk B hurriedly explained, "We are generally responsible for printing holy church brochures, doctrines, books written by bishops, etc. We are very idle when there is no printing task."

"That's it."

Rin picked up a book and took a look. It was a collection of poems called "The Journey of Praise", written by Archbishop Barbara.

I touched the hard cover, which felt good and the binding quality was also very good. I turned the pages one by one and saw that there was no ink smudge or misprint, which made me very satisfied.

As expected of an official printing factory, the quality is top-notch.

Seeing His Royal Highness the Son of God flipping through the book as soon as he came in, the others did not dare to say a word and all stood aside obediently.

"Not bad, not bad."

Rin praised, and then said: "Actually, I came here because I want to print a novel here."

Monk B's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "If it is written by Your Highness, we must read it!"

"Uh, it's not written by me."

Seeing that everyone, including the knights behind him, looked disappointed, Rin explained: "But it was edited and reviewed by me, and the book was written by one of my magic teachers, and it was published and distributed under my guild."

Everyone was refreshed again, and Monk B said respectfully: "Since it is a novel strongly recommended by Your Highness, I think it must be a masterpiece I will certainly do my best to relieve His Highness of the worries of this masterpiece, and I am also looking forward to reading it. "

Rin was satisfied and asked, "I want to order 50,000 hardcover copies, with 210,000 words in total. How long will it take?"

"This..."

Monk B estimated and said carefully, "The cover of the hardcover edition is complicated. We usually hire craftsmen to complete it. It will take at least 20 days for 50,000 copies."

Rin frowned. Originally, 20 days would be enough, but as a hardcover edition, illustrations and cover design are necessary. He needs to find a few people to complete it, which will delay some time.

By the time when the college cup is over and everyone has left, how can we let those student travelers do their free publicity.

Forget it, this wave was originally used for publicity, not for making money.

"Well, then half... No, wait a few days to see the situation, I will come again, but in the meantime you have to mobilize the hiring first."

The monk nodded repeatedly, and then hesitated for a while and asked: "Then your highness, printing funds..."

"Huh? I still have to pay?"

"Well, this... In addition to publications such as doctrinal propaganda, other things, such as the works of the bishop or His Highness the Son of God, also need to be paid, but only at the cost price."

Rin felt a pain again, and then thought that after all, the cost price could save a lot, so he had to nod.

"Calculate for me how much a single copy costs first, so that I can have an idea in my mind, and I will pay later."

"On average, the price of a copy is generally around one silver coin to one silver coin and 10 copper coins."

"Ah? Why is it so expensive? This is the cost price?"

Rin had investigated this industry before. If you don't have your own printing factory, the cost of hiring a printing factory is also this price, and the printing factory should earn at least half.

The monk said helplessly: "Your Highness, we use the best paper, the best ink and printing magic devices, and there are anti-counterfeiting marks, so of course they are much more expensive."

Rin glanced at the poetry collection in his hand. The shiny mark on the upper left corner was actually a small rune. He immediately felt that it was worth the money.

Piracy has always been the most difficult to prevent.

Originally, he chose the Chamber of Commerce under the name of the church to curb piracy. In order to prevent pagans from tampering with their publications, the church was very concerned about their publications.

As long as there is a church, they will sign a bill with the local area and add it to the punishment. There is also a complete reporting system. It can be said that they are very cautious in publicity.

And an anti-counterfeiting rune can also allow local church forces to quickly identify.

On the other hand, people are more or less competitive. The contempt of genuine products for pirated products has existed since ancient times. With such a special mark, plus their subsequent publicity, they can just achieve a brand effect.

The church also has the advantage of having a large number of rune masters. They are all employed staff and are responsible for these in their spare time. They only need to pay for the materials and a small amount of remuneration.

If it were a normal business, who would be rich enough to hire so many rune masters to make anti-counterfeiting labels?

Then the cost price would have to increase three times?

Well, that's it. After that, the Kingdom of Giorar is set as the headquarters, and the cover and content have to be completed in two parts, and the transportation cost will increase a lot.

Unfortunately, Giorar is the trade center of the entire continent and it is also their own territory, so they can't change the headquarters at will.

If only the church could send more rune masters there.

Lin patted the monk on the shoulder and encouraged: "Then work hard and ensure the quality. I am very optimistic about you."

"Follow the command of His Highness the Son of God!"

The monks and the employees in the workshop were very excited, and they all held their chests high, looking like they were ready to die.

Lin smiled with satisfaction and turned to leave the printing factory.

Next, he needed to go to the Commercial Department to register a chamber of commerce, obtain the right to issue, and then report to the church, and then find someone to make a sign.

After that, I have to ask if there are any good and cheap painters, and get more.

Each painter has a different style. If it is placed in a romance novel, the illustrations of men and women will definitely be criticized, but this novel will not.

What needs to be drawn are secret places and rare monsters, and the male and female protagonists only need to draw a few pictures.

In other words, you can find a person who specializes in character drawing, and then find a few people who draw monsters and scenery, and the efficiency is super high.

There are only so many contents in the first volume, and the painters don’t have much work.

Ask Lina to transfer two palace painters, and then go to the church to find a few free laborers, which is perfect.

The registration with the Commerce Department went smoothly. It only cost 100 gold coins to complete the whole process, and also got a license to issue all non-military products, of course, including reading materials.

The name of Lin Chamber of Commerce was thought of before, and there was no messy name.

Phoenix Bowen Chamber of Commerce.
