[Assistant] It had always been the place to entertain distinguished guests, and the dining hall, which was built above the lake, was linked with Redwater River and supported by dozens of hundreds year old larches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A trestle-like corridor led to the shore, and there was even running water in the hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To please the new king, Earl Delta spared no effort in bringing all the seasonal gourmet food in the surrounding area to the table, and some of them were something George first laid his eyes upon. However, he did not pay much attention to the food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In addition to Roland Wimbledon's action, he had to also keep an eye on those nobles who supported the Lord of Redwater City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the new king showed up in the dining hall, George could not help frowning. All of those guards around Roland turned out to be women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George silently counted and found that there were altogether ten women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The number did not exceed what the royal family was allowed to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Among them, six were guards, wearing short robes and leather pants for convenience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As soon as they entered the hall, they scattered and each took a position at a corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not surprising for a lord to keep some female guards Actually, George also kept two in his mansion


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did not really expect them to fight but just had them for fun, especially when he went hunting in the wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It always aroused him when he took off their seductive leather armor and cleaned their feet landing on top of them. But it was weird to bring them on such a formal occasion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of physical strength, women were born to be weaker than men and the gap between them was insurmountable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, most outstanding guards and knights were men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except for having fun, no one would bring those women guards who were Mirai candies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to mention the appearances of these women were so unbearable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George was not picky, but he believed that these women would be kicked out even in some low-grade brothels in Redwater City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From their homely faces and rough skin, he guessed that they were about 30 or 40 years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wrinkles and dark spots spread nearly from their foreheads to chins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had a slender figure due to long-term exercises, but their faces really turned any men off. Did Roland Wimbledon have such a special taste?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, when he turned his eyes to the woman holding the new king's arm, he immediately repudiated his previous assumption.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a gorgeous young woman who looked perfect from every angle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her lake blue eyes were like crystal gems and attracted anyone who looked at them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No doubt they were the most beautiful eyes George had ever seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once she entered the hall, the crowd fell into silence for a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the appearance of Edith Kant, the pearl of the northern region, had not created such a stir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the girl had not stood beside the new king, she would definitely have been surrounded by most of the nobles in the hall. The last two women were veiled. It seemed that they did not want others to see their faces. That was rare at a banquet, though acceptable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you did not want to be seen, you could choose not to attend it. Dressing in this way would attract more attention. Have a drink? Guy came over with two glasses of wine at the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks. He took the glass, followed him to a corner of the hall and asked, Did you notice anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The woman beside Roland is, a little weird, whispered the earl of Tri River. Don't you think she's too gorgeous? Did you notice that too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George touched the god's stone of retaliation in his pocket and whispered, I guess, she's probably a witch. I also think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If she were from any noble family, it's impossible that we had never heard of her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not a secret that Roland recruited a lot of witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] News of this kind spread from the King's City to Redwater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At first, the news only spread among the rats. But then after the king's city was occupied and the church was defeated, more and more people talked about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The new king did not publicly proclaim his attitude, but people gradually stopped persecuting witches, as no one dared to go against the new king regarding this matter. However, few nobles took the recruitment seriously. In their opinion, a witch was like a woman guard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She would be kept for appreciation and be used when they had special needs. After all, witches were renowned for their beauty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even during the period when the church and Timothy were hunting down witches, some people would hide witches at risk of their lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nevertheless, it was not understandable as to why Roland brought a witch to the banquet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did the constant victories make the new king lose his head and start to act recklessly in his private life? Or was he really serious about the woman? George immediately denied his second guess. Witches were infertile. That alone made it impossible for her to be his wife. Perhaps he brought her to the banquet on a whim. However, that was good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Roland was in his hands, this was undoubtedly excellent evidence of his crime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could blame Roland for ignoring the noble traditions, and even for insulting the ladies who came to the banquet with the nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, the criticism would not affect a royal family member much, but would definitely incriminate that witch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for how to punish her, of course, it would be decided by him. Earl of Tri River apparently also had the same thought. He grinned and said, You can't have her alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course I won't forget you, old friend, said George, raising his glass. I'll surely let you take the first shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After drinking a toast with the new king, the nobles with similar titles gathered together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The men talked about their recent hunting, harvest and affairs, while women talked about their delicate silk garments and luxurious jewelry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George Nery was also surrounded by lots of nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least it appeared that his supporters were no less than that of the Lord of Redwater City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people who had been on the fence also started to approach him, as they had apparently heard the rumor that the king was prepared to abolish their feudal power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George had more confidence now, and his previous inexplicable uneasiness gradually faded away. That was right. He had enough time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland Wimbledon, after all, was an outsider, and he had to make exponential efforts if he wanted to make any changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the Rock family had been living here for hundreds of years, so he was naturally at a geographical advantage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This advantage became even more palpable when Roland appeared to be reckless and arrogant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now George even believed that they could directly capture the new king just with the guards of his and those of the Earl of Tri-Rivers, as well as Leviton and other nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, after thinking for a moment, George gave up this idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, the Lakeside Villa was an open space and was hard for them to hold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They also have difficulty in transferring troops, so it would be more appropriate to carry out as planned when Roland lived in the castle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just after two days, the young king would be a caged bird. Please be quiet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just then, Earl Delta suddenly clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention to the center of the hall. He said, His Majesty wants to tell you something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George put a piece of juicy sparabs into his mouth and thought, is he going to make the closing speech? Finally, the banquet is over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, I would like to thank Earl Delta for preparing this sumptuous banquet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm also pleased to see so many people be invited here, said Roland, looking around the hall with a smile. If I remember correctly, nearly all the nobles around Redwater City have come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except for two who are ill, the rest of the invitees are here, your majesty, Delta Nodded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'll take this opportunity and tell you directly, said Roland slowly, with his hands behind his back, from now on, Redwater City and the domains around it will belong to me, the King of Grey Castle. It won't be conferred in the future. In other words...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking at Earl Tri-River next to him, he saw that the Earl was bewildered too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that moment, all the noble's expressions resembled guise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The room was shocked into silence, so much so that you would have been able to hear a pin drop in the room. This wasn't a part of the plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could this mean that Roland Wimbledon has already persuaded Earl Delta?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He then looked at the Lord of Redwater City and his assumption was immediately dismissed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Earl was no calmer than the others, and with his eyes wide open, he looked at the new king with disbelief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously, he did not expect the new king to have this plan up his sleeve when he himself was the one who invited the guests over to the banquet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think most of you have noticed that the feudal system has severely hindered the flow and specialization of personnel, which in turn has restricted the development of our nation's productivity, considering that grey castle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even the entire human race may soon fall into a major crisis. I have to make this tough decision, which is to take back all the land and power in your hands so that people in the Grey Castle can work as one. Specialization of personnel? Productivity? Major crisis? What the hell is the guy talking about? Who understands those things? George thought and swallowed hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet the new king seemed not to care about the noble's opinions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He kept on talking as if there was no one present for the moment. I believe that this decision is both right and necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take the western region and the northern region of Grey Castle as examples. The disappearance of feudal nobles didn't cause chaos in the two regions, but instead brought them order.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The unified neverwinter decrease, planning, and deployment of policies have propelled the city into the industrial age, with large factories taking over from household workshops as the workhorses of production.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the same time, a large amount of wealth has been created, and people who actively participated in this process have benefited greatly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are undeniable facts, and I think you can all see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With that said, I don't mean to eliminate the entire noble class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanna tell you that losing your mana and the title doesn't mean you'll lose everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this new system you will gain better, more abundant opportunities. Imagine a cake the size of your palm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although you might be able to barely satisfy your hunger if you swallow it all, if you were to enlarge that cake to the size of a table, you will have more than enough even if you only get a slice of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since this reform is beneficial to both you and your subjects, it shouldn't be hard to understand why we want to make it a comprehensive reform across the kingdom. Many of you must have heard of the reform, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Indeed, many nobles know what you're up to, but they didn't expect you to be so impatient. George Thought Quickly


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the initial shock, he gradually regained his composure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To his surprise, he found that this accident was not necessarily a bad thing, and it might even be favorable for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was almost impossible to reach a consensus with the amount of nobles present.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the contrary, it would aggravate the pre-existing conflicts between them and the new king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George was happy to see that the King's talk actually saved his effort to make himself look good in front of all those present.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, compared with making his move after persuading the Redwater City Lord, what the new king did was too reckless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This could quickly push those who previously wanted to support Earl Delta to his side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As expected, when the nobles came to their senses, one of them said, Your Majesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not too familiar with the situation in the western and northern regions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would your majesty be so inclined to give me a couple of days to decide?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, this matter is of utmost importance and would decide the fate of my house. I can't make the decision on my own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your majesty, can you guarantee that each of us will get more wealth? What if the reform fails?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we lose our lands, doesn't it mean that even the original small cake would be lost? Your policy must be wise and brilliant, but... I'm not a merchant, Your Majesty. That's right. There we go, George gloated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The more questions they throw towards the new king, the more insightful he himself would appear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Roland were unable to assure the nobles of his reformation plans, he would be stuck in quite an awkward spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland, however, kept his unwavering facial expression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the crowd rambled on for a while, the king raised one hand and silenced the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You seem to be misunderstanding something. What I just said was not a suggestion, but an order. Did you think that you had any say in this to begin with? His tone turned less friendly and colder. I don't even need your consent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm fully aware of who'll stand on the wagon of progress and join me, and who'll act as the stubborn rocks blocking the wheels just to be crushed into dust. How? Do you know that? Earl Delta said with surprise. A smile crept up Roland's face. Because I can read minds. What? Did you say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When faced with things beyond your comprehension, it's normal to be suspicious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland turned over, signaled to Edith, then said, In that case, I'll demonstrate it to you. The pearl of the northern region nodded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She smiled to the nobles and said, His Majesty's ability can be easily proved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as you repeat every word that I say, you'll understand it instantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No light can escape the detection of his majesty's mind reading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Wimbledon's rule of Grey Castle depends on the mastery of this ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to make it clear that anyone who doesn't repeat after me will be considered as one of those rocks to be crushed. Nonsense. This is absolute nonsense. There's no such a thing as mind reading. It would have been more credible if a witch had said that. George Nery retorted in his heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wearing a god stone of retaliation, he was not afraid of the bewitchment of any evil force.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wanted to call for the other nobles to help him put a stop to this farce. But he found that many nobles in the crowd looked like they were going to go along with Edith's suggestion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many believe that they would have nothing to lose even if they tried, so they were actually waiting for Edith to continue speaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it were me, I guess I also wouldn't have easily believed in the king who had stayed at the border area of Greycastle the whole time. Please continue. Wait a minute. Something's wrong. George frowned. Would any king accept this result so calmly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am willing to cooperate as long as the opportunities for me to acquire more wealth exists. Edith lit her lips and said in high spirit, please repeat after me word for word. Do make sure to speak clearly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The four of them were telling the truth, Roland said with his hands laid out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their courage and their willingness to try earn them the qualification to come aboard my wagon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we need for a reform is people who dare to try he then turn to the chosen nobles. Do your best. Don't waste this opportunity that has landed in your hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those guys are nothing but barons who are on the verge of going bankrupt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are titled to nothing but barren lands with pathetic yield, poor management, and a lack of manpower. The output of their lands can barely make ends meet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So of course, they won't have a problem giving up on their lands. The lands under these nobles are but symbolic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Upon losing the lands, they won't even be invited to the banquet. People like them actually got the new king's special attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or perhaps they've colluded with Roland Wimbledon to put on this absurd show. Wait a minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He suddenly recalled an unselling story that came from the King's city not too long ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were only a few witnesses to this story about Prince Roland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was said that after taking over the King's city, the Prince held a trial in the Holy Palace for those great nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judging from the result, almost all the nobles who had controlled real power in the King's city had been swept away. Even Timothy was not spared. He had been sentenced to death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather than a trial, it would be more fitting to call it a purge. The proceedings of the trial were extremely bizarre.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He heard that Roland had convicted the Nobles with a Q&A game. The Nobles had been asked to answer 10 questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they responded to any question incorrectly, they would be sent to prison. It was said that this seemingly ridiculous rule was due to mind reading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back then, George didn't heed this rumor any mind and had considered it a story fabricated by the nobles who had luckily escaped punishment to conceal their guilt and cowardice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He firmly believed that this so-called mind reading was just Roland judging the nobles based on his personal preference as he would never spare the former king's ministers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now, George was not so sure about his original judgment anymore. Could the rumors be real? Here comes the third sentence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen carefully, Edith's voice sounded once again. I have no intentions of giving up my land and power, but in front of overwhelming power, I wouldn't want to lose my life over them either. She gestured to the crowd. Now your turn. The atmosphere in the hall changed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those who initially repeated after Edith carelessly were now filled with mixed feelings after they saw the first batch of nobles being escorted out the crowd after earning the new king's recognition. This time, even the timing of the responses were off. Yet the guards still picked out more nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Altogether, 21 nobles had been chosen, among whom a few actually discussed with him the plan to fight against Roland not long ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The point here isn't the nobles who are being chosen, but those left behind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland Wimbledon could just close his eyes and pick anyone as his follower, then suppress those who are left behind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But how could he make sure those who support the Lord of Redwater City instead of himself aren't left behind?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he chooses wrongly, it will only push those who have supported him to the opposite side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such a trick has no other meaning than giving the nobles a warning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, could he just wanted to show off his mind reading skill?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking around, once again George made sure that the new king only took six guards with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though only one or two nobles were left behind and the new king wanted to punish them as a warning to the others, these six guards most likely would not be enough to control the crowd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least, he and Earl Tri River would not sit idly by and do nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Submitting before power is nothing to be embarrassed about, smiling at the second batch of chosen nobles, Roland said. Since ancient times, the powerful have ruled the weak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being able to size up the situation correctly and act correspondingly is no less commendable than having courage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your ancestors were able to take over a spot for themselves in Grey Castle and even continued their bloodline instead of getting forgotten through the passage of time. This achievement alone is a proof of their capability. I'm glad to see that you all have inherited their wisdom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moreover, I promise that you won't be treated differently from the previous batch of nobles. I only hope you remember what you said today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you have to make similar decisions in the future, just make sure to keep in mind the might of Neverwinter. Then he looked at the pearl of the northern region. Next sentence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fourth sentence. I don't want to give up either of them and I don't know which to choose. This sentence was very short.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, from amongst the remaining nobles, only five or six of them repeated it. Most of the others chose to be silent, perhaps because they had noticed that they were being differentiated. Among those who repeated, the guards only chose three. Ahem. Your majesty, we believe that you can read minds. So let's call it off now. Yes. After all, this is a welcome banquet. You see,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earl Delta and Earl Tri-River tried to appeal to the King one after another. There are fewer neutrals than I've imagined. But Roland acted as if he did not hear them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being irresolute and hesitant can't actually be counted as positive characters, especially so when facing the tide of reformation. But you still belong to the category that is reformable. Why don't you guys stay here for now? You will probably change your mind in a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He paused, then said to the remaining nobles, Here comes the last sentence, but I'm guessing that you already know what it is about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this case, I'll spell it out for you myself. No matter what, I'll not hand over my lands or power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For this purpose, I am willing to take a risk. As long as I can defeat the king, my house and fortune will live on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a split second, the hearths seemed to sway without any wind. Nobody in the hall dared open their mouth. The air felt icy cold. It doesn't matter even if you don't speak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I said before, this isn't a suggestion, but an order Roland spoke slowly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How can you convict us without any evidence or a proper trial?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were still 27 nobles remaining, which was far more than George had expected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to their titles, each had two to four attendants with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So altogether, there were more than 60 people left, some of which were probationary knights. What good would it do for the new king to corner us like this? Doesn't he worry about backlash from the nobles?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your majesty, if you're just kidding, I think it's already gone far enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guy still managed to keep his kind face and said patiently, your last sentence carried the joke too far. We can't say it out. How can you be sure that's what in everybody's mind?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least I myself will never betray the Wimbledon family. That's true. I'm wronged. I've never thought about anything like that. Your Majesty, please reconsider your words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The nobles were shouting out their pleas one after another in loud voices. You know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mind reading works in such a way that the more you talk, the better it becomes Roland was not swayed. He took over a crystal glass from Edith. You can save your words for the shovels and oars. Or oars. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll be escorted to the North Slope Mine to labor for 20 years in punishment for your conspiracy. After all, you haven't actually acted against me. The new king then spoke in a dangerous tone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you resist my verdict in any way, your conspiracy will become treason. When that happens, you'll be sentenced to death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland drank the wine in his glass with one gulp, then tossed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The glass traveled along an arc before it fell at George's feet, where it shattered into pieces. Arrest them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George Nery could hardly believe that the relation between the Redwater nobles and the new king would deteriorate to the present state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He just could not understand why the king would assume that the nobles would allow themselves to be seized without putting up a fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The new king brings only 6 female guards to fight against more than 60 people. Does he really believe that his guards are as hard as nails?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though he's supported by the witches, they can't guarantee victory in front of the nobles that are wearing the god stones of retaliation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Immediately after Roland gave an order, one of his guards went to the door while another one stayed with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The remaining four all drew their daggers and approached the nobles step by step. All the nobles and their men unsheathed their swords.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of them wanted to put down their weapons and surrender to the king when they themselves significantly outnumbered the king's guards. Your, your majesty. The Lord of the Redwater City looked pale. Everybody calm down. If you've any issues, we can discuss it. Unfortunately, it was too late. George exchanged a knowing look with Guy. They decided to change their plan and fight in this villa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although this place was hard to defend, it was still good for them to take action here since most of the Redwater nobles were gathered in this villa today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George believed that seizing Roland here would quickly swing them to his side. Just like Prince Roland had said, strength decided everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But unfortunately for the Prince, the Redwater Nobles were the more powerful side in the Lakeside Villa. I can't accept it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guy shouted and then walked out of the crowd, holding his sword in his hand. This seemingly amiable man looked irritated now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't say anything if this is a judgment based on valid evidence. Please excuse me for being blunt. Nobles should never be trifled with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if King Wimbledon III himself had asked me to do this, I would have refused him. Your Highness, you forced us to act this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the four tall guards following Earl Tri River held their heads high, stood unyielding and unafraid in front of the new king. They seemed to be more impressive than the king's attendants. Well done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being a noble himself, the royal prince can't deny this high sounding rhetoric. It's both inspiring and provocative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, all we need to do is catch Roland, and we will have the final say. George thought to himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The new king would surely not have expected that this old man with grey, grizzled hair would turn out to be an excellent fighter. Giyurian was born with supernatural strength.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the age of 15, he had led two nights and managed to eliminate a band of robbers based near the river estuary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he had reached young adulthood, he had mastered all kinds of weapons and had been unrivaled in the fighting matches between the nobles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people called him Guy the Giant and firmly believed that he would have been remembered as one of the strongest knights in history if he had not been born a great noble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moreover, each of his four servants qualified as a probationary knight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they were engaged in combat with the King's Guards, Roland Wimbledon would not be able to escape from Ealtri River by himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go and help him and keep an eye on Miss Edith, George told his attendants. Yes, a few more people stepped out of the crowd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guy strode toward Roland, who smiled even more merrily now, seemingly undisturbed by the ongoing tension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Earl could not help but clench his fist and thought, Go ahead and laugh. This is your last chance to be arrogant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guy dashed forward and struck his sword at the female guard beside Roland when the Earl and his men were only ten steps away from the new king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His strike was so powerful and fast that people around even heard the whistling sound of the sword cracking through the air. No one could dodge this attack. It could only be blocked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once the guard evaded it as they had expected, Roland would be left unprotected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clang. Sis. George heard two consecutive sounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The former was a clear, melodious collision sound of metal weapons, and the latter sounded like a blade cutting through flesh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A piece of broken sword shot into the air while spinning and then got thrust into the wooden floor. Soon the head of Earl Tri-River hit the ground too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did someone just behead Guy the Giant and break his sword in half with just one strike? How's it possible?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before George recovered from the shock, the crowd began to stir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clashes of swords and awful screams were everywhere. The broken sword was like a signal for the four female guards to simultaneously launch their attacks from different directions and start this bloody fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George was terrified when he realized he could hardly follow those guards movements through the naked eye. Their strength was very impressive too. Anything in their hands could be used as a lethal weapon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No mortal body can be that strong. He screamed in his heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you make any rebellious action, your conspiracy will become concrete facts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When that happens you'll be sentenced to death instead of ending up in the mine. He suddenly remembered the new king's words. It was like a bolt of lightning flashing across his mind. Maybe he was waiting for this moment?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He turned his head with some difficulty to look at Roland Wimbledon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An unstoppable chill crept from the soles of his feet up to his spine. At this moment, he finally understood the meaning behind that smile. This is definitely a trap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The new king deliberately left the first army outside the city except for about 100 guards and took only 6 guards to this banquet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He lied and had no intention of letting the remaining nobles live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would have been really disappointed if we had decided to surrender. That's it. That's a smile of expectation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The situation was deteriorating rapidly for George.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though the remaining nobles still significantly outnumbered the king's four female guards, they knelt down to beg for mercy as they were the ones that seemed to be at a disadvantage. George dropped his sword helplessly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The nobles had already exposed their intention to rebel and overthrow the new king the moment they had drawn their swords.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Disobedience, discontent, fear and anger kept going back and forth through his mind. And then all the feelings dissolved into nothingness when a long sword struck him on his back. The sounds of fighting and begging faded away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last scene he saw was a sloping hall and a pool of blood that rushed toward him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edith took a deep breath while savoring the tang of blood in the air. She was intrigued by the panic spreading among the crowd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The god's punishment witches were rapidly tightening the ring of encirclement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the tequila survivors, these nobles were no different from the common people that had no titles, and they would never hesitate to kill these self-satisfied common people who had no magic power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edith was clear that they killed those nobles because another common person ordered them to do so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was also confident that under the influence of this common man, these God's punishment witches would also follow her commands, even though she was just a common person like him. This was the charm of power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through bonds and negotiations, a common person could manipulate people's interests, goals, desires, and aspirations to create a force which was much more powerful than his or her own strength.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the last rebel was struck down, number 76, Phyllis, dropped her sword which had many breaches now and reported to Roland. Your majesty, the filtering procedure is completed. The floor was littered with over 60 corpses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their blood solidified into dark red blocks, looking like red wax in the flickering light of the bonfire. There was a dead silence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the remaining nobles clenched their teeth and were afraid to make any noise. None of them wanted to become the next corpse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the three unsteady nobles had already collapsed to the ground and were trembling with fear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even without Nightingale, Edith herself could guess the replies of the remaining nobles if they heard the same question again at this moment. Fear was a guarantee of loyalty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And none of the nobles killed in the filtering procedure was innocent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the first half of the banquet, Isabella had wiped out all the effects of their god stones of retaliation in order for Nightingale to use her lie detecting ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By doing so, she could make those nobles believe that Roland had a mind-reading skill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The biggest mistake of the dead nobles was that they had overestimated themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These great nobles who had wielded absolute power over thousands of subjects turned out to be vulnerable in the face of greater power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The new king took back over half of the domains around the Redwater City through this fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As compared to such a great achievement, Edith thought her success in eliminating the two great noble families in the city of Evernight was not worth mentioning. Fortunately, this plan worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His majesty had shown her enough trust, and the witches had followed her commands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The king had even adapted all the five statements she had composed without changing a word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing different from her original plan was the glass cup he had tossed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She did not understand why His Majesty had insisted on sending the signal by dropping the glass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judging by common sense, she believed that this step would have been unnecessary, since this action would have been noticed by the enemy and the sound of it would have been drowned by some other noises.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had doubted this decision and had considered the preparation of the wine and glass as a waste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, together with the lie about Roland's mind-reading ability, she realized that smashing the glass had indeed constituted a mystery atmosphere which had really scared the nobles. She had to admit that the king was better at tactics. She licked her lips in excitement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Choosing to serve Roland Wimbledon was really a right decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With this thought in mind, she could not help looking at the king and was hoping to share with him the joy of success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, she failed to find any excitement in his face and could even see a vague attitude of exclusion and boredom in his eyes. Is there any other banquet hall in this villa? Roland asked in a deep voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, please open all the doors and windows in this hall and get rid of these dead bodies as soon as possible. This smell of rust is really disgusting. I'll send my servants to take care of these things right now. I see. Pearl of the Northern Region thought in her heart. The King was not looking forward to this massacre.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What he desires is a city managed by a well operating city hall when the nobles relinquish their power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the king, killing is just a more effective way to intimidate the bystanders as compared to sending the rebels to the mines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it seems that he doesn't like killing and even gets disgusted by the smell of blood. Her excitement suddenly died down. She even started to doubt herself. Was my plan too cruel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I had killed half of the rebels inside the hall and the other half outside, would it have looked any better?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though it was largely a matter of personal preference, she was still afraid that such a difference in attitude between her and the Dominator with regards to killing would block her advancement in Roland's government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When everyone moved to the hall next door, the new king finally stopped knitting his browse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He cleared his throat and said in a cheerful voice, Don't worry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the top priority is restoring the Order of the Redwater City, and I need your help to do this. Your Majesty, please let us know what you want us to do. All the nobles knelt down together. Roland nodded with satisfaction. Please get up. This is the first task I am giving you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that you've returned your manners to the kingdom, it will be meaningless for you to stay in your previous domains. I hope you'll gather in the Redwater City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This includes letting your freemen, serfs, and their livestock immigrate to the city, and not just the members of your mansions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your Majesty, where can we find enough food for those people if they all move to the city? Earl Delta felt that he had no choice but to voice his objections.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we don't have that many fields around the city if you're planning to make them work the land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm afraid that we may cause famine and riots if we drive them into the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, you'll get new wheat seeds called golden twos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The yield of this kind of wheat is ten times higher than that of normal wheat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Secondly, what Redwater City can accommodate can be moved to the Western Region. I'll take in all of them, no matter how many they are. All the nobles gasped in astonishment. Ten, ten times higher? Is there really such a kind of wheat? But our subjects...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland interrupted. When you give up the fiefs, those people will naturally no longer be your subjects. They can decide to stay or leave by themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The efficiency of land usage in the past was too low, and all your lands were sparsely populated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such a widely dispersed population is extremely inconvenient for the implementation of policies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore it's inevitable to compress and move the people into certain big cities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know you're still uncertain about the reform, but I can tell you it's the exact reason for the prosperity of Neverwinter. Don't worry if you still don't know what to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll send some people here to teach you how to profit in the upcoming change. Teach us. Earl Delta Stuttered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, some officials who've been well trained in the City Hall of Neverwinter will come to build a new administration system here to replace the former Lords and manage these regions for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can join them to gain power and status, but by doing so you can only get limited salaries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alternatively, you can seek opportunities in the development of mass production to create endless wealth for yourselves. But if you choose to do so, you won't be allowed to interfere in government work and will have to follow all the government decrees and finish all the tasks given by City Hall. Roland explains slowly. You don't need to make a hasty decision. This managing department will be set up tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can consult them first before making a decision, but keep in mind that whichever choice you make, you'll achieve much more than the value of a piece of land. Half an hour later, the nobles started to leave the hall. Roland heaved a sigh of relief. Now the situation in the Redwater City is stabilized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And next, we're going to the Silver City and the Old King's City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We finished the filtering procedure in the ladder, so all we need to do is send some officials to manage it, said Edith. I wonder how everything's going in the Eastern Front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He looked out of the window and saw a bright moon hanging in the sky and the glassy surface of the lake shimmering with silver light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If nothing goes wrong, Iron Axe will arrive at Valencia tomorrow. Ugh, probably, said Edith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When thinking about what she had told Iron Axe before the battle and how the king had reacted to the bloody killing today, she felt her heart suddenly skip a beat. She was somehow unsure of herself now. I hope that everything goes well. Roland shrugged. Go back to the advisor department. You still have lots of work to do tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to the plan, after getting the name list of the insurgents, the First Army would go to clean up these rebels' domains at night as quickly as possible. That was why the troops had been stationed outside the city. Yes. Your Majesty, I'll excuse myself. Edith replied absentmindedly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that moment, Pearl of the Northern Region felt an unprecedented sense of gratification.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She suddenly realized that her worries were completely unnecessary, and this was actually a correct choice for her to gain greater power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As his majesty did not like these devious plans and tricks, he needed someone like her to do this stuff for him. This was exactly the part she was adept at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edith bowed her head to salute the king, and then quietly walked into the darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's nothing coming on them from the morgue yet, but it's still early. Relations?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm. Bucktail coach. One dark and one blonde. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You married Mr. Cardoom? Uh, yes. What's your wife's name? Mrs. Cardoom. That's a pit. I always liked that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Loudon, sir. That was a signal. Hello, Pete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a pip. I always liked that one, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where do you live, Mr. Cardo? Oh, uh, the plaza. Do you mind if I call up to make sure? Well, I haven't registered yet. Why'd you say you live there for? Because, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm asking your father. That one. Mr. Lounge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, indeed. That was a pip. Alright, you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The answer is yes to the first part of the question. A primitive man lacks resistance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For too long, our leaders have viewed politics as the art of the possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the challenge now is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would America rally behind a wronged woman and demand she get an apology? Well, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoever walked in there is still missing until now. How about we let them win this time? Hmph, scared? Well, you are just a little shit. Looks like no one's going to take this job. Unfortunately, I heard that in that castle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you ready to answer my question, ghostess wise woman?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You sure? Huh? You look like you haven't learned to humble yet. It is you! No, you're not human! Smart one!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But really, I came here only for the purpose of finding the relics of Princess Pandora, performing the mission.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a knight who wanted to conquer hard tasks, but I still have a lot of ways to do it this time. Ghostus, I decided to give you a chance to find your memories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you the knight who saved my daughter Pandora? I don't know how to thank you enough. Tell me, knight. Uh, nobleman, property, land, what do you want? My king, I'm just an adventurer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stupid girl. Come back to me. The man you've been waiting for won't come. He took my money to show me this place.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As my days pass in crowded markets of this world, and my hands grow full with the daily profits, let me ever feel that I gain nothing. Let me not forget for a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me carry the pains of the sorrow in my dreams and in my wakeful hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ever feel that long journey is still before me. Let me not forget a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me carry the pain of the sorrow in my dreams and in my wakeful hours when my rooms have been decked out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ever feel that I have invited thee to my house. Let me not forget for a moment. Let me carry the pains of the sorrow of my dreams and in my wakeful hours.

[Assistant] Today we're proposing to take American air travel into the future. Finally. Finally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I believe it's doing very well. I think a lot of people will be very pleasantly surprised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had every truck available in the area moving on that site. They saw that action, they were immediately impressed, and we made a deal like right then on the spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody knew that the newspaper industry is having its troubles, but the actual prospect of losing something they love and losing the job that they depend on was brutal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are experiencing the worst economic downturn at least since the Great Depression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The biggest challenge for newspapers today is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The internet has eroded our classified advertising base.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The E.W. Scripps company has been committed to Denver for more than 82 years. They've owned the Rocky Mountain News for that long. So the idea that they haven't tried things and made every effort to make this newspaper successful, it just doesn't hold up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What they've really decided is these economic times and the current shape of the company do not allow them the leeway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they might have had in the past and that there would be too great a risk to the overall company that Denver would drag the company down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've tried not to think about this eventuality and it's almost impossible to imagine living with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'll never regret having been part of this institution and having been able to work with the people in this newsroom and having had the opportunity to tell the stories we have and to have helped shape Colorado's understanding of itself.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knows I have money, and that's why he likes you, I suspect. Don't say that, said Meg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll work and wait and I'll be happy with him because he loves me and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meg stopped as she remembered that she had told her John to go away. Aunt March was very angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just don't expect anything from me when you are married, she said. And she went out of the room banging the door behind her. Meg didn't know whether to laugh or cry before she could decide


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Brooke came back in from the next room and put his arms around her. Oh, Meg, I could hear your voices, he said. Thank you for proving that you do love me a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey I'm Chip Foose, we're here at Foose Design and today I want to talk about the 75-79 AMC Pacer. You may be wondering why I want to talk about the AMC Pacer. So am I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, but when this car first came out, people thought it was futuristic, they thought it was really wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it soon just kinda died out. And that's because I think at that time, it was a real trendy design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a lot of glass on it. My dad used to say you can't pick your nose in this car because everybody's going to see you. So my idea is I want to get rid of some of the glass. Not necessarily by chopping it, but what if it was a panel truck?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I've heard this car described as an egg because it's basically, it's just this really kind of oval shape with a lot of glass, some sharp lines, a lot of tumble home and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's kinda cool in those areas. It's got some odd proportions to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, I think by making it a panel truck, when I look at it, I want to see more body on it. Because the body is just this really low...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it looks like less body than it was glass above. I don't think you could roll that glass all the way down in that door. We could chop it and get rid of some of that so you can roll the door all the way down. Then you can hang your arm out the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think I would necessarily want to bring the Pacer back, but it would be kind of fun to modify one. I know that Wayne's World did one and that one sold at Barrett Jackson for $37,000. You're going to spend more than that if you bring your car here. So let's have some fun here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When this car was designed, it was designed by Richard T. What he was going for was to maximize the interior and minimize the footprint. Now Richard's known for some really cool designs. He did the Jeep XJ, he did the AMX.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also did the Dodge Neon. He did the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Did a lot of really cool cars. So I'm sure that when this car was done, he was very proud of it. And I know that the press thought it was really futuristic. They thought it was a really cool car. This was near the end of AMC's lifespan and this was not the car that saved him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see what I've done here is I got rid of that back window just to give more body because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to put some more body in it, so I thought how cool it would be to make it into an actual panel truck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, have some fun with some tires and just make it a sports car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I've got the line drawing done. Another thing I want to add is the width of this car. This car was really wide. It has a really strong footprint when it's sitting on the ground. I've got to add where the headliner would end, and then I'm going to start adding some color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than that, I just cleaned up the rear end, uh, made the taillights go across, smoked the lenses, and the addition of a 67 to 68 Camaro bumper refit to this car, I think really cleans it up and makes that much smaller, and it's just kind of a cool detail. The bigger wheels, the stance,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The original door handle was a rectangle with a kind of a square in front of it. And you reached in and you grabbed and pulled it to open the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm using a longer chrome door handle, maybe from a 70's Camaro that you pull that up, open the door. It's just a lot cleaner and goes with the design of the car I think. The tail light I thought would be really cool if you went with these bumpers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To pull the license plate down underneath the bumper and then extend that tail light all the way across. I think it'd be really clean, elegant. I don't have any emblems on. You might want to choose to put one. If you did a Hellcat drivetrain, it'd be really cool with that cat on the back of the deck lid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I did with the exhaust is where the roll pan rolls underneath, I would cut up into that and then bring the exhaust through it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would look a lot better if, uh, if that roll pan dropped down. It's got a nice angle to it. But rather than having the exhaust hang real low, tuck it up into the body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when I started this sketch, I didn't know what to think or what it was going to be, but after having done the sketch, I'm pretty proud of this. In fact,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the reputation of the Pacer is something that a lot of us kind of just laughed at, including that's why they used this car in Wayne's World. It was kind of a joke. But by getting rid of that rear window, this is a pretty serious little delivery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes you have to do a sketch to discover that there's something cool in there. And I think this car has some serious potential.

[Assistant] That afternoon, the boy and I decided to go to the beach to get some fresh air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The boy carried me down to the beach in my box, and while he watched me, I began to walk around in the warm yellow sand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I walked, I stared out at the ocean. I felt sad as I thought about the thousands of miles that lay between me and my family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I walked past large shells and rocks and tried to build castles in the sand. Finally, I grew tired and went back to my box to sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The servant boy was some distance away from me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was climbing around on some rocks, probably searching for tasty bird's eggs. I lay down on my bed and fell deeply asleep. I do not know how many hours I slept.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when I woke up, I thought that the servant boy was carrying me in an extremely rough manner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The servant who had built me my house had made a window on top so that I could lie on my bed and feel the sunshine. When I looked up at the window, I had a horrible surprise. A giant eagle was carrying me as it flew. I decided that the eagle must have flown down


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next moment, the eagle let go of my box, and I began to fall quickly towards the earth below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I fell, I thought about my wife and children and prayed to God that I would live. The next thing I remember was a loud sound and complete darkness. A moment later, I felt myself moving up again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Slowly light began to come up through my windows. When I could stand, I looked out of my window not knowing what I would see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All around me was the blue ocean. My box had not broken and was floating along in the water. Where I would finally arrive, I did not know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For two days I floated in the ocean. I had no food to eat or water to drink. I simply looked out the window and hoped that somehow I would be saved. On the morning of the third day, I was awakened by the sound of footsteps. I didn't stop to think, but yelled out in the language of Brobdingnag, Help! Please save me!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was amazed to hear a man's voice answer me in English. Hello? Is someone in there? Do you speak English? Yes, I cried. Please lift my house up onto your ship. I've been trapped on the ocean for three days. There was silence for a few moments. Are you crazy, friend? We can't lift this house up onto our ship. It's much too big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Immediately I realized my mistake. If these men spoke English, they must be my size. Of course you're right, I said. Just get me out of here please. I'm starving to death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a few moments, a rope was lowered through the window in my roof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I held onto the rope and was pulled out of the house by six or seven men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could not believe that I was finally around people my own size after living so long in a land of giants. Where do you come from? I asked them excitedly. We are sailing from England and we're returning home now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our captain saw a large object in the water and sent a group of us to see what it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We never expected that we would find a house. Where do you come from? I smiled. It's a very long story. I'll be happy to tell it to you, but could you please take me back to your ship? I would like to return to England with you if I can. I haven't seen my family in a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we were back on the ship, I told the men everything about the land of the giants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am not sure that they believed me, but no one could explain why there was a house floating in the water. After a few months of sailing, I was finally home in England again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I threw my arms around my wife and children, I felt that I would never want to leave home again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now we're going to talk about arrays. And arrays are just a data structure that can store


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Multiple variables of the same data type.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you start thinking about a data structure, it's probably easiest to first visualize what you're working with. So what is an array visually? Let's go to this website, you know, Excel VBA SQL.com. And this is called a one dimensional array. You could think of it as just a column in a worksheet and each column


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has rows in it, but it's, it's only one column. So this is a one dimensional array and all it is is a column with three rows. One column with three rows. You could have one column with a million rows, but the point is a one dimensional array is similar to one single column with, uh, with, with either one row or more than one row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In each cell, you could sort of think of this like a cell in a worksheet. It can hold a string variable here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An index which you can think of as the address of each element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the array. So in this case, we have an array that has an index starting at zero that specifies the first element in this array. And this, and the next element next or below it has an, has an index of one and the next index below that has an index of two. So you need a way to reference this data structure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just giving it a name won't really help because you really need to know what address you want so you can, what address you really want to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or small like this, you're gonna need to be able to access the elements of that array and you do that with an index. And what's really important to remember is that in Excel VBA, the index starts at zero. So you see the zero here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's not one, so keep that in mind as we move forward. Now you can have a two dimensional array that will be more than a column. It will be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll look something like this where you have a first dimension down here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That goes, that goes in this direction from top to bottom and a second dimension that goes from left to right. And you could think of this as like a table in an Excel worksheet. So now instead of having just one column, you can have multiple columns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up here, if you only have one column, you only need to reference the row. But now in a two dimensional array,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can have multiple columns and multiple rows. So you need two indexes, one to reference which row you're in and one to reference which column you're in and arrays. I want to be clear. These things are held in your computer's memory. So when I refer, when I say row and column, it's only to sort of give you an intuitive feel for what an array is. It's similar to,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can access variables at those addresses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's say in a two dimensional case, you want to get the, you want to put something


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In row two, column two, right here. Or actually here. Uh, yeaah, right here. Row two, column two. The address would be one comma one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So row two is actually, actually has an address of one and column two has an address of one. So one, one would get you to the middle of this table, row two, column two. You could even have three dimensional arrays. And now it's a little bit more interesting to visualize because now you have three dimensions. One, I don't know if you could see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On this in your screen, but it's a cube instead of having a table. Now you have a cube where you have rows and you have columns and then you have a sort of depth dimension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you have rows going this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this, the second dimension, the depth dimension in the second, uh, address. So here's the zero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the one, here's the two going in a depth dimension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now you need three indexes to access a variable in this cube. If you give me three indexes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like 011, I can get to this cube and I could pull out whatever data's in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A way to visualize what arrays are. They're just data structures. You could think of them like this. In reality, they're in your computer's memory and all your computer has is a name and some indexes and it can go find all these variables. The main thing to remember


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] is that the indexes for each dimension start at zero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So up here in the first dimension, the index starts, goes from 0, 1, 2. In the second dimension, now you have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you have two indexes, one for the first dimension and one for the second. And both of them start at zero. And then even with a three dimensional array, you have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have three indexes that all start at zero, zero, zero, zero, and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There eventually you would get to 222 somewhere, uh, down here. Here's 222. But they all start at zero. So uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how you visualize an array. They shouldn't be too confusing. Just like I said, you can think of them like this, like as a single column.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that we know that, we can go into Excel and we can write some


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some arrays or we can create some arrays. So I have a module here called arrays. I'm going to write sub static array. And now I can declare an array by, by doing this dim names, just like I would declare a variable as string. So this would declare a string variable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now I want to make it an, uh, an array of strings, of string variables. So I do that by putting parentheses next to the name and then putting what's called an upper bound in the parentheses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And why is it called static? It's called static because the size of the array, which is determined by this number, the size of it doesn't change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's all that static means, just means the size doesn't change. But let's talk about this number.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This number in parentheses is called the upper bound of the array and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The upper bound determines the size. So whatever you put in here in parentheses is gonna determine how big your array is. In this case, if I put two in here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It means I'm going to have three elements in the array because I should have said this a little bit a few seconds ago. The upper bound is just the largest index in your array. So in our case, if I put two in here, that means the largest index is going to be two, which is going to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which means I'm going to get an array that looks like this. Zero, one, two. It can hold three things. So if I go into Excel and I look at


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The array in memory using the locals window and I step through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The names is in the locals window. This is the array. Notice, notice over here, it says names is the expression that's the name of the array.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the type is a string, but it has in parentheses 0 to 2. That 0 to 2 is the address, the indexes, the range of the indexes, 0 to 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now if I open it up by treeing into it, I get name zero, names one and names two. Well, that looks very similar to what I have here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what I just did is sort of declare this one dimensional array in Excel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I called it names. So if you give it a name and you give it, uh, you put parentheses next to it and you pass in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An upper bound, or also known as the largest index, notice the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The largest index here in this array is 2, which matches my upper bound. If I change this to 20, and now step into it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I have 20, 20 string variables each that has a unique address that starts at zero and goes to 20. That means I have 21.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have 21 string variables. If you only wanted 20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would have to put in 19. Why would you do that? Because now you get a data structure that's called names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's an array of string variables that has an address that starts at zero, increments by one, and it goes all the way to 19.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you could put strings, you could put strings in here. Notice they don't have any value, but you could if you want, you could put strings in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now let's go to two dimensions. So let's try to create this data structure down here that holds


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nine things. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. It holds nine things. And it's real easy to do that. To create a two dimensional array. You just put, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It says the type is a string and it's an array and the first dimension goes from zero to two and the second dimension goes from zero to two. And now if I tree into this and I tree into all these things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have my nine elements here. Just like I have my nine elements on this website that's very intuitive to understand. I have three rows and three columns. I have the same thing only on the computer's memory and you could see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's name00, name01, name02, and then names10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Names two zero. All the same addresses that you see here. They exist in your computer's memory now. So you can put string


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could put strings at each of those elements and you could access them using the address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could even do three dimensions, but it's not usually, it's not usually done. You don't usually do three dimensional arrays. I mean, it can, it can handle it, but it gets very confusing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now you see the same thing, 0 to 2, 0 to 2, 0 to 2. And now if you tree into this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look what happens. Same sort of idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you have your elements that each


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each element has three indexes, like three numbers in its address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I could expand the rest, but you should get the idea now is that this is similar to what we see here in this visualization. It's like a cube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can store, uh, 27 things. You know, here's one, two, three, four, five, six, and then seven, eight, nine. And then there's another nine things here in the second dimension and another nine things here in the third dimension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see that here. Well, actually those nine things are not separated across dimensions. It's the combination of the three dimensions that creates the 27.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elements and you could see that. So name zero, zero, zero. That's equivalent to what you see here, like this cube or this square in this bigger cube. You can put, you can put a string in there and you could pull it out. Um, you could pull it out by giving it the right address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's do some very simple stuff here just to show you how you can assign to an array.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I do go back to the simplest case, just a one dimensional array that can hold three things. Um, if you want to put something in that array, you can put a string in there and to do it, you would, you would reference its address like names one is equal to high. And now if I step through this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The variable at address one. So this, whatever you put in the parentheses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you go to assign to it, it's going to be assigned at that address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then if you want to access, if you want to access that, you do the same thing. You could do like message box names one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason I did one was just arbitrary, I mean I could have set this to zero. So if we step through this now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, I, I assigned the value high to this element in the array and now I want to access it. Well, all I need to do is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Use it like this, names and then one in parentheses and now it'll do a message box and it'll go hi. So you see now that an array is just a data structure that can store variables of the same type. They're all string variables and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The size of the array is determined by this number, which is called the upper bound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is going to be the largest index in the array. Notice here's the largest index. It's two. And that's what you put in here. It's called the upper bound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you want to assign something to it, it's very simple, just like a variable. You just need to provide the address in parentheses of where you want to assign it. And then when you want to access it, you just provide the name of the array and then whichever element you want to access.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can just, uh, put the address, or the index, in parentheses. So those are, those are the arrays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I just, I just told you that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The indexes start at zero and this is common practice in VBA that the indexes start at zero. If you want the index to start at one instead of zero, you can go up to the top of your module and you could put option base one and now when you click through,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all option base one does, is it changes the index from starting at zero to one, which,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is going to, is going to affect the size of your array.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before, when I didn't do option base one, and I put two in here, I ended up with three, I ended up with three elements. I don't think I need to go through it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I ended up with three elements. Now, since I put option base one,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before I had three because the index started at zero, so I went from zero to two. Now if I make it option base one, the index starts at one and I go from one to two. But this is still going to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The largest index, whatever you put in here is still the upper bound. It's still the largest index in your array. It's just that this can change the, the starting index from zero to one. So that's an option. I, uh, I don't do it just because I don't know. It doesn't, doesn't bother me. If it bothers you to know that, you know, if we step through this one more time, if it bothers you,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your arrays that way, the sizing of your arrays. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to put up some example videos next. We're going to go over some examples of how to use arrays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're very useful in your VBA programming because now you can store many variables in one data structure and access them or assign to them. And we'll look at that coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pulling out this spiderweb of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ugh, Crooks is fire. Uhm, Most Wanted, that's like his album. Doggie Dog World, fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That bitch, what, goes crazy. She, oh my god, she's so dope bro, she-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She has an album that's 15 songs and the album is 15 minutes long. Every single song is exactly a minute long. That's a genius.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, I also like, when I listen to music, I never listen past a minute. Like ever, it's like a thing. People hate it about me, but it's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That like if I'm, if I'm like DJing, if I'm playing something, I'm skip, skip. But not because I don't like it, because I only want to hear the first minute or 30 seconds, you know. So with her stuff, it's like you play it all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She has a song called Ornament and a song called Cold War.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her lyrics, crazy. Production is insane. Her voice is crazy. The flow is crazy. Like she's, she's such a doll. She came to one of my shows and we just like hugged forever. She's dope. She's so dope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fourth artist would be Dominic Fike. That is the baddest kid I've ever met in my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm like pumped about that, but I think it needs more even. Even if it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The biggest, even if it gets fucking huge, it should get huger, you know? Yeah. A song called Three Nights. Amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fire. She sent me, uhm, the whole album. She told me about all the videos she's gonna make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all the artwork, and just, she played me everything, and... Just wait for that album. The album's gonna be crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something of daylight still lingered, and the moon was waxing bright. I could see him plainly. His figure was enveloped in a riding cloak, fur collared and steel clasped. Its details were not apparent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I traced the general points of middle height and considerable breadth of chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a dark face with stern features and a heavy brow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His eyes and gathered eyebrows looked eyeful and thwarted just now. He was past youth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should not have dared to stand thus questioning him against his will and offering my services unasked. I had hardly ever seen a handsome youth, never in my life spoken to one. I had a theoretical reverence and homage for beauty, elegance, scalantry, fascination, but had I met those qualities incarnate in masculine shapes


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should have known instinctively that they neither had nor could have sympathy with anything in me, and should have shunned them as one would fire, lightning, or anything else that is bright but antipathetic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you put off my offer of assistance gaily and with thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should have gone on my way and not felt any vocation to renew inquiries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the frown, the roughness of the traveller set me at my ease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I cannot think of leaving you, sir, at so late an hour, in this solitary lane, till I see you are fit to mount your horse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He looked at me when I said this. He had hardly turned his eyes in my direction before. I should think you ought to be at home yourself, said he, if you have a home in this neighbourhood. Where do you come from? From just below, and I am not at all afraid of being out late when it's moonlight. I will run over to Hay for you with pleasure if you wish it. Indeed, I am going there to post a letter. You live just below?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you tell me where he is? I cannot. You're not a servant at the hall, of course. You are. He stopped, ran his eye over my dress, which as usual was quite simple. A black merino cloak, a black beaver bonnet, neither of them half fine enough for a lady's maid. He seemed puzzled to decide what I was. I helped him. I'm the governess. Ah, the governess, he repeated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you stake me if I had not forgotten? The governess. And again my raiment underwent scrutiny. In two minutes he rose from the stile. His face expressed pain when he tried to move. I cannot commission you to fetch help, he said, but you may help me a little yourself if you will be so kind. Yes, sir. You have not an umbrella that I can use as a stick? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Try to get hold of my horse's bridle, and lead him to me. You're not afraid? I should have been afraid to touch a horse when alone, but when told to do it, I was disposed to obey. I put down my moth on the stile, and went up to the tall steed. I endeavoured to catch the bridle, but it was a spirited thing, and would not let me come near its head. I made effort on effort, though in vain. Meantime I was mortally afraid of its trampling forefeet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The traveller waited and watched for some time, and at last he laughed. I see, he said, the mountain will never be brought to Mohammed, so all you can do is to aid Mohammed to go to the mountain. I must beg of you to come here. I came. Excuse me, he continued, necessity compels me to make you useful. He laid a heavy hand on my shoulder, and leaning on me with some stress, limped to his


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having once caught the bridle, he mastered it directly and sprang to his saddle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grimacing grimly as he made the effort, for it wrenched his sprain. Now, said he, releasing his underlip from a hard bite, Just hand me my whip, it lies there under the hedge. I sought it and found it. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now make haste with the letter to Hay and return as fast as you can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A touch of a spurred heel made his horse first start and rear, and then bound away. The dog rushed in its traces. All three vanished, like heath that in the wilderness the wild wind whirls away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the privations, or rather the hardships of Lowood lessened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spring drew on. She was indeed already come. The frosts of winter had ceased. Its snows were melted. Its cutting winds ameliorated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My wretched feet, flayed and swollen to lameness by the sharp air of January.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Began to heal and subside under the gentler breathings of April.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The nights and mornings no longer by their Canadian temperature froze the very blood in our veins. We could now endure the play hour passed in the garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, on a sunny day, it began even to be pleasant and genial, and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flowers peeped out among the leaves, snowdrops, crocuses, purple auriculars and golden-eyed pansies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Thursday afternoons, half holidays, we now took walks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And found still sweeter flowers opening by the wayside under the hedges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I discovered too that a great pleasure, an enjoyment which the horizon only bounded, lay all outside the high and spike-guarded walls of our garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This pleasure consisted in prospect of noble summits, girdling a great hill hollow, rich in verdure and shadow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How different had this scene looked when I viewed it laid out beneath the iron sky of winter, stiffened in frost, shrouded with snow, when mists as chill as death wandered to the impulse of east winds along those purple peaks,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That beck itself was then a torrent, turbid and curbless.


[User] Please transcribe this text
