Chapter 404 [SSSSS]-level wonder, completed!
Actually...
Bruno has always been struggling with the establishment of the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
If they were given too much power, it would be detrimental to the Stuart family's rule over the Principality of Idar, and would go against Bruno's original intention;
However, if the power granted is too small, it will be difficult to play the positive role that Bruno wants to see. It will not make much difference whether it is built or not, and it will not play a role in attracting nobles to join.
Therefore, although Bruno had ordered old Ford to carry out preparations and planning, he gave a relatively slow schedule for the progress of the preparations.
In conclusion,
According to Bruno's current idea...
In the future of the Principality of Idar, the House of Lords composed of nobles and the military forces of the Principality of Idar will be directly responsible to themselves, that is, to the Stuart family.
As for the House of Commons, which is composed of civilians and talents from all walks of life, it will be closely linked with the Government Affairs Office and become an important support for maintaining the operation of the principality.
But it is obvious that the definition of power between the House of Lords and the House of Commons is far from being easily summarized in just a few sentences.
Bruno must find a balance, a balance that can both maintain the rule of the Stuart family and promote the development of the principality.
after all……
He didn't want to be like Charles I of John Bull's family or Louis XVI of Gallic Rooster, and become the first confused noble monarch in the other world.
The topic of the group suggestion house undoubtedly aroused old Ford's interest, so the two of them simply sat around the table with steaming hot pot and asked and answered questions.
As the discussion on the relevant content became more and more in-depth, even the extremely experienced old Ford, as the highest official of Idar's Government Office, had to marvel again and again at the ideas and prospects of his own Duke that transcended this era.
In his opinion, many of Bruno's ideas are far-sighted, not to mention far-sighted! Awesome! My Lord Duke!
Just then, the little maid Avril coughed lightly and then ran over cautiously.
Originally, she should have stood beside Bruno and waited for instructions, but the aroma of the hot pot aroused her appetite again and again, so with Bruno's permission, she slipped into the kitchen to fill her stomach.
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
Although she had already filled her stomach, Avril still looked at the hot pot on the table with some envy, and then she said softly:
"Those great engineers who only know how to spend money to build things. They just sent a message that the Idar Public University on the other side of the river... has been built!"
Hearing this,
Bruno's eyes suddenly lit up.
You know, this is much earlier than the engineers originally expected.
Bruno said seriously: "Really?!"
"Hmmmm."
Avril nodded quickly and said seriously, "This is the news that has just been delivered. The entire university campus area has been fully completed and is waiting for you to personally inspect it!"
Just as Avril finished speaking, a crisp sound suddenly came to Bruno's ears... [Ding!]
As the host of the wonder construction system, Bruno is very familiar with this voice.
Ah! This beautiful sound... Isn't this the system notification sound when the new wonder is completed?
Although what made Bruno speechless was that the system's notification push speed was even a little slower than Avril's manual delivery speed, this was not the key point!
Most importantly…
The [Idar Public University] that Bruno had high hopes for, the first custom-made wonder standing within the territory of the Principality of Idar, has finally been completed!
You know, for this wonder, the Principality of Idar paid a huge amount of gold coins, mobilized a large number of manpower, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources, which can even be compared with the sum of several previous wonders!
Thinking of this, Bruno couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. Finally... it's done! "Your Excellency the Duke, I will take my leave first."
Old Ford naturally saw Bruno's excitement, so he didn't delay at all. After bidding farewell to Bruno, he left in a hurry.
He benefited a lot from the conversation with Bruno, and the collision of thoughts from the souls of the earth and the natives of this world also made many new concepts and ideas emerge in old Ford's mind.
Although the completion of Idar Public University was a pleasant surprise, he did not know the significance of the completed wonder to the Principality of Idar, so he could not wait to go back and sort out his thoughts.
As for Idar Public University... it's right there anyway, you can't get away, and there's actually not much difference whether you go a day earlier or a day later.
Seeing this, Bruno nodded.
At this moment, his heart was full of surprise after the completion of the wonder, and he really had no interest in continuing to discuss the division of power between the House of Commons and the House of Lords with old Ford.
"I know. Go ahead and do your thing."
Restraining his excitement, Bruno said to Avril.
After saying that, Bruno turned around and walked towards his study.
The completion of Idar Public University is of extraordinary significance. As the news of the completion of the wonder was confirmed by the system, several pop-up windows popped up in the interface of the wonder construction system. Bruno naturally had to return to his study to think carefully.
You know, the last time he went back to the study to check the system message was when he just traveled to this world.
After closing the main door of the study and sitting upright in his chair, Bruno took a deep breath, activated the system again, and entered the interface of the wonder construction system.
In Bruno's opinion...
This might be the closest he's ever been to a [SSSSS]-level wonder! Whether he can take down his first [SSSSS]-level wonder since crossing over depends entirely on the answers given by these great engineers! As the system message slowly came into view...
Bruno clutched the armrest of the chair tightly, his heart pounding, and his eyes were fixed on the slowly unfolding message interface.
one……
two……
Three...
When Bruno counted to the fifth S carefully in the most clumsy way, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Hard work pays off.
With Bruno's huge investment, after including Oxford University, Alexandria Library and a series of classic buildings designed and built by great engineers, Idar Public University finally lived up to expectations and was rated as a [SSSSS]-level wonder by the wonder construction system!
This is great news for Bruno!
What Bruno was looking forward to even more was that... according to the description before the system, wonders rated at [SSSSS] level would bring completely different wonder bonus effects than before! However...
When Bruno looked at the overview interface about the wonder bonus with great anticipation, he couldn't help but freeze there.
I am confused...
Or stupid?! At this moment, no words could express Bruno's complicated feelings.
actually,
The bonuses from the first two wonders were rather mediocre, and there were no highlights unique to 5S-level wonders, so they did not cause much excitement in Bruno's heart.
For example……
[Temple of Science and Technology: The mathematical ability of all personnel associated with Idar Public University has been greatly improved, the ability of students to study science and engineering subjects has been significantly improved, and the scientific research level of students and researchers has been improved]
[Literature and Business Boom: Economic theory research results have received widespread attention, the learning ability of liberal arts and business students has been greatly improved, and the probability of new theories being born has increased]
The above two wonder bonuses were within Bruno's expectations, so he didn't feel that much of a surprise.
But what made Bruno feel extremely confused... was the third wonder bonus brought by Idar Public University! Unlike the text descriptions of the first two bonus effects, the content of the third wonder bonus was only a line of extremely brief characters, but it was this string of characters that made him feel a kind of... indescribable feeling.
Idar Public University's third wonder bonus:
【The Forgotten Past.mp4】!!! Seeing this, Bruno rubbed his eyes vigorously with his hands.
but……
That’s right!
What appeared before his eyes was always this extremely concise file name - [Forgotten Past.mp4]! And behind this string of characters, there was something like a play button.
What is this? Is this the third wonder bonus that Idar Public University has brought to itself? !
So…
The third wonder bonus that Idar Public University brought to itself is actually a video?!
Bruno leaned back in his chair and stared at the file name for a long time before he finally recovered.
The bonus effects granted by wonders cannot be changed, and the videos obtained by building [SSSSS] level wonders obviously cannot be meaningless.
You know, Bruno had only encountered this kind of wonder effect that would not bring group benefits to the Principality of Idar when he was building the Namur Fortress.
But even just an ordinary wonder of [SSS] level allowed Bruno to gain powerful strength that was enough to look down on many magicians.
Therefore, after Bruno calmed down, he became more curious about the video pushed to him by the system.
The forgotten past? This name must have a meaning, and it is definitely not the bad soap opera in the previous life that only looks at the face.
Who knows...it might even bring unexpected benefits to me!
Thinking of this, Bruno did not hesitate at all. He just moved his consciousness and lightly clicked the play button of [Forgotten Past.mp4].
In an instant...
Bruno only felt that his consciousness seemed to be wrapped by an invisible force and pulled into another world.
And when he opened his eyes again...
Although there was no familiar melody or the green dragon logo at the beginning of the movie (i.e. the screening license electronic examination entry {XXXX} No. XX), Bruno was still clearly aware of...
This film, called "The Forgotten Past", has begun!
…
The camera seems to be looking down from the sky, passing through the clouds from top to bottom.
As the dense clouds were left behind by the camera, the originally blurry image quality (480P) gradually became clear (Blu-ray 4K + Dolby Atmos).
The first thing that caught Bruno's eyes... was a boundless and strange continent.
This continent may be very large...
But due to the lack of a scale or other reference points, Bruno was unsure of the actual area of the continent.
If I were to estimate roughly based on the time and distance the camera moves... it would probably be much more vast than the continent I'm on now.
Then, the camera turned.
A bustling and crowded crowd suddenly appeared in front of Bruno.
People's clothing was not much different from that of ordinary civilians in the Norman Empire, and there was no distinctive style. They were just rags with patches on their clothes. Even the noise in the crowd was not much different from the tone of the Normans.
Judging from the density of the crowd alone, this is probably a fairly large city.
Whether it is the city walls, streets or the surrounding architectural styles, there is not much difference from those cities in the Norman Empire.
On both sides of the street are stalls selling fruits, vegetables and melons. In addition, there are baked bread and daily necessities woven by vendors with their hands. There are all kinds of goods and they are quite complete.
The child held his parents' hands, looked around, walked and stopped along the way, as if he was full of curiosity about everything around him.
The film presents Bruno with a picture of a harmonious and comfortable life. Although the social productivity is not high, it is no different from the world Bruno lives in today.
At least so far, Bruno has not gotten any useful information from this video.
Could it be that...
Is this the legendary clickbait title? !
But this shouldn’t be the case!
Just as Bruno was daydreaming about the situation in the film, a team covered in white robes finally appeared at the edge of the camera.
The moment they were seen, not only did the background music in the video change abruptly, but even the crowds on the street dispersed to both sides, consciously leaving the middle of the road empty.
The camera's perspective began to zoom in...
And Bruno,
I finally saw clearly the attire of the group of white-robed people who suddenly flooded into the camera.
There was not a single trace of color on them.
Not only was he wearing a pure white robe, but he was also wearing a pointed hood that only exposed his eyes. Looking around, it was all white, and Bruno couldn't help but have a... rather weird feeling.
The white-robed man at the head held a torch high and muttered something, and around his neck, a golden cross was shining brightly under the sunlight.
Whenever a person in a white robe passed by them, the civilians crowded on both sides of the road would, without exception, lower their heads and make the sign of the cross on their chests.
Cross! Could this be the former Church of Light? Thinking of this, Bruno couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
At this moment,
Wonder construction system...
Is he showing me the history hidden by the church? !
An era without any written records?
