Be a matchmaker in an otome game

Chapter 303 The press conference is coming soon

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The trebuchet they developed here can already throw rocks weighing about 30 kilograms 40 to 50 meters. Although most people think there is room for improvement, at the press conference

Demonstration is enough.

It was possible to do it so quickly thanks to Felissa, who put forward many clear and effective theories.

For example, regarding the instability of the support, Felissa thought of geometry in middle school. She proposed that triangles are the most stable structures. Based on this idea, they stabilized the support.

If they were allowed to do their own research, they would have to repeat the experiment several times to find this conclusion. But Felissa knew it without experimenting at all. What she said was conclusive. Although others were doubtful, after all, Felissa only had theories and no knowledge.

Explain, but the time is really urgent, just do as she said, and naturally everyone will be happy.

This somewhat relieved Felissa. After all, she stayed in the manor and made no contribution at all. It was really embarrassing.

On the night before the press conference, Olivia rushed to the manor overnight and organized people to push the trebuchet to the conference site.

Although the wilderness where the press conference was held was not far from the manor, the trebuchet after several improvements was heavy and large, making it difficult to move. Fortunately, Felissa had already thought of this, and when she improved the trebuchet for the last time

At that time, wheels were added.

Olivia frowned and looked at it: "No matter how powerful this trebuchet is, its biggest drawback is that it is difficult to carry."

It takes five or six people to push this trebuchet forward. It's fine on flat ground, but if it encounters a place with terrain changes, it will be a headache. It is far less flexible and convenient than the magician army.

"How can things in this world be so easy to have both?" Felicia just shook her head, looked at the trebuchet, and then applied a wind magic to it, making it easier to push it.

Is magic bad? Of course it is, but the threshold for learning magic is in the hands of the nobles. Only nobles have the right to learn magic. If civilians want to gain the power to compete with magic, they must either practice hard physical skills or use other forces.

, when the level of science and technology develops and guns are available, then why do magicians have anything to fear?

"The trebuchet is bulky," but Olivia has other worries. "If it is ambushed, the trebuchet cannot be saved, and on the battlefield, if the opponent's magician destroys the trebuchet first, then our efforts will be in vain."

.”

"The trebuchet can throw a stone weighing about 30 kilograms 30 to 40 meters. If it is a lighter stone, it can be thrown farther. Later, my uncle will also start studying how to increase the range of the trebuchet," Felicia knew.

, "No matter how powerful the magician is, the distance he can control magic is only twenty meters. The trebuchet is beyond the range that the magician can control."

Felicia said it right. The larger the magic, the more precise it is to control it. If it is too far away, even the magic circle cannot be seen clearly, so there is no control. Therefore, when magicians cast magic, they will try their best to control it within what they can control.

Within the range, otherwise the magic cannot be cast, and the magician will have to bear the consequences of the magic returning.

Twenty meters is the limit of human power, but the range of the trebuchet can be increased. Even if there is no stone of thirty kilograms, if a stone of ten kilograms is thrown, the power of being thrown from a high altitude is not something that humans can withstand.

Not to mention, they combined the trebuchet with the Kiss of the Goddess.

By the time the trebuchet was moved to the site, the morning star could already be seen in the sky. After a while, the sun would rise.

Felicia looked around and saw that there were many things on the originally bare hill, such as parasols for sun protection, exquisite small tables, neatly arranged chairs, beautiful potted plants, etc., which must be felt by visitors.

Comfortable.

"There are quite a few similarities with the racecourse in the royal city," Felicia said with a smile.

Olivia was slightly surprised: "I did refer to the layout of that racecourse. Has Felissa ever been there before?"

"I've been there once or twice," Felissa recalled the scene she went there with a curl of her lips, "The fees at that place are really bad."

However, the place was seized by the royal family and is now gone.

Since Olivia asked this, it proved that she had been there, but she obviously didn't like it very much. She frowned when she mentioned it: "That kind of place should be cleared away."

While they were talking, the adjustment of the trebuchet had been completed. After trying several times to confirm that there was no problem, Felissa and Olivia breathed a sigh of relief, asked people to keep a good watch, and then got into the tent that had been prepared.

Forced to squint for a while.

But it was only for a while. When the sun rose, they got up and simply washed themselves under the service of the maid.

Next, it’s time to wait for someone.

The first to arrive were the military from the royal city, headed by Nannuo.

"There won't be any mistakes today, right?" Nannuo looked at Olivia and asked, "You know, His Highness Fred is also waiting for the results of this press conference."

Olivia raised her eyebrows and refused to lag behind in her momentum: "Of course, please report to His Highness truthfully."

Olivia's confidence could be heard as soon as she said this. If she was not confident about the press conference, she would probably trouble Nanno to say something nice, but she said she would report it truthfully, proving that she believed that the effect of the press conference would make the royal family happy.

satisfy.

Felissa quietly pulled Olivia: "Your Highness also knows?"

Seeing that it was still early in the day, Nannuo brought people here so early to arrange soldiers to protect the venue, so Olivia pulled Felissa to a hidden place and whispered to her.

"You are my sister, and I won't hide it from you. My mother was engaged to someone else back then," Olivia slowly told the story of that year, "This engagement was made by the royal family, and it was originally supposed to be in the royal city.

I came back after getting married, but at that time there was something strange happening in the demon clan, so my mother went back to Cliff City first and discussed the wedding later. As a result, the betrothed eloped while my mother was at war."

Felissa was dumbfounded. This was a big piece of gossip that most people couldn't hear. She blurted out and asked, "Why?"

There is no such thing as marriage in this world. What's wrong with marrying a noble son who can't inherit his title to a noble who is certain to inherit his title? Why should he run away? It can't be because of love.

It is difficult for her to believe that nobles have love without seeing it with her own eyes.

Olivia said vaguely: "My mother has a more serious personality."

Felicia understood that Viscount Cliff was so serious even to his own daughter, let alone others. It is estimated that the nobleman who grew up in Wenwen Township could not accept Viscount Cliff's temper, and he did not dare to openly confront the family.

Confronted the royal family and ran away.

"This is really courageous." Felissa said sarcastically.

Olivia did not dwell on this topic, and just continued: "Then my father saved my mother's life on the battlefield, and my mother wrote to the royal family saying that she was willing to give up the engagement and just marry my father."
