An hour and a half later, George Martin put down "I Am the Archmage" in his hand, looking constipated.

This...

Is it the most popular fantasy novel in recent times?

It does differ from traditional fantasy novels.

There is an alternative appeal.

It feels as if an inferior version of "The Count of Monte Cristo" has been kneaded into the setting of "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

can

Is this still a fantasy novel?

What about the grandeur and richness of the worldview, the rigorous setting of the power system, and the exquisite plot?

Even the author of the most deviant "King of Light" in fantasy novels did not dare to write his work like this!

He hesitated, but picked up the phone, ready to contact Robert Jordan, who is currently the most respected in fantasy fiction and is known as the second "Tolkien".

He is also the author of the best-selling "Wheel of Time" in fantasy novels in recent years.

He hopes to use his prestige and status in the minds of readers of fantasy novels to criticize "I Am the Archmage" and avoid fantasy novels going astray.

But at this moment, the object he wanted to criticize, Wang Wanzheng was standing outside the apartment with a tangled face, looking at the two little black boys who had just run over.

Because, while running, the two little boys shouted the sentence "I am the archmage".

"Great prince, how dare you touch my woman!"

"Satan, you are no match for me. For your daughter's sake, I, Mike, spare your life. ”

This made Wang gradually feel the urge to run back to the apartment.

However, community work cannot be left unattended.

So, he took a peaked cap, lowered the brim, and walked briskly towards the sign-in point.

When I arrived at the check-in point, I could still see several prisoners holding "I Am an Archmage" in their hands, gathering together to discuss the rapper's shooting.

"I understand very well that those two dudes shot them. A young white man covered in tattoos said: "After reading this book, in addition to wanting to buy tacos, I just wanted to find my former boss and beat him up and ask him, 'You used to look down on me, do you regret it now?'"

Another young man said, "yes, this book is so exciting. I'll tell you, I even take it to dinner, and my girlfriend thinks I want to go to university!"

"yes, this book is going to be cool. ”

"Especially the last sentence, my life is up to me, God is nothing. It's just pretty cool. ”

Wang gradually pretended not to hear, found a place where no one was, and squatted down silently.

It's so TM ashamed.

Unexpectedly, a prisoner who had not usually had much contact with came over and took the initiative to talk.

"Hey, King. He pointed to the author column of "I Am the Archmage" and asked, "This way of spelling is your Chinese, right?"

"Wang Gradually. Wang gradually replied helplessly.

"Wang Yan?" the prisoner suddenly asked, "It is very similar to your name, is it?

"I don't know. Wang gradually shook his head, feeling that it was very embarrassing for someone he knew to praise the book.

And the other party is still discussing the author with himself, which feels weird.

So he said to the prisoner, "It's so stupid that you don't read it." ”

Who knows, the prisoner, who was very kind just now, stood up in an instant.

Then he said with a serious face: "This is literature, this is art." You can't denigrate it, it's the best novel ever!"

That look is the same as discussing which novel is a classic with my classmates in my previous life.

And after a few years, look back.

It's a yarn argument.

A protagonist shouts "Don't bully the young man to be poor", and a protagonist roars "My life is up to me", all of which are Xiao Baiwen who is full of middle school atmosphere.

But

Forget it, forget it.

Wang gradually watched the other party run back to the crowd on the other side, and happily discussed.

Finally, Lily, the sign-in officer, was late.

This made Wang, who originally felt that it would be very embarrassing to meet again after the relationship, gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

Because, no matter how embarrassing, it will never be more embarrassing than it is now.

Fortunately, after the community work began, everyone stopped discussing "I am the Archmage".

This made Wang gradually feel relieved.

But on the other hand, I don't know if it's because the relationship has been determined, Lily actually didn't shy away from calling Wang gradually to her side.

She took out a $20 bill, handed it to Wang, and said, "Little Jean wants a book, but I have been to several bookstores but have not found it." ”

"You're in the Bronx, where it's said that the bookstore is doing very badly, can you go there and buy the books back?"

Wang gradually had a bad premonition in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "What book?"

Lily thought as she began to rummage through her satchel.

Finally, she found a note, spread it out, and said to Wang Yan: "I am the archmage, this is the name." ”

Wang Gradual's mentality collapsed in an instant.

He asked Lily with a smile and a smile, "Little Jean is only five years old, can he read novels?

"He can't read it, I can tell him. Lily looked at Wang gradually with a little confusion, and said, "Isn't it okay to read a bedtime book to him?"

Jean said that many parents of children in their kindergarten read this to them. "I am the archmage", as soon as you hear this name, it is for all ages. ”

She looked around, and suddenly approached Wang Jian's side, "If you can buy 'I Am the Archmage' before the end of the community labor." Tomorrow night, I'll reward you. ”

As she spoke, she slowly licked her lower lip with her tongue.

The lips are painted with a bright red color, and they are particularly attractive in the sunlight.

Wang gradually swallowed his saliva and hesitated for a moment.

Lust finally overwhelmed shame.

So, after informing Lily, he ran to a nearby phone booth, threw in a coin, and called Roy from Scholastic Press.

"Hey, Roy?" asked Wang Yan.

"Wang?" Roy's voice was full of excitement, "Today's sales are 90,000 copies, just one day!"

"In the evening, I will go to your apartment and sign the printing contract. By the way, the release of the French version and Latin is also on the agenda. ”

When Wang gradually heard this, he was naturally very happy.

But looking at Lily, who was not far away, with a graceful figure, he still made his original purpose clear.

"That's right, I want a few copies of I Am an Archmage. Then, as a souvenir for relatives and friends, can you bring me a few copies?"

"Of course, there is no problem. Now, your needs are all I have!" Roy said pompously, "Tell me the address, and within an hour, I will deliver it to you personally!"

After Wang gradually reported his address, he waited while doing community work.

Roy, on the other hand, took the other authorization contracts that Wang gradually needed to sign, and left in a hurry.

And at this time, the United Kingdom.

The Sun reported on the details of what happened to the celebrities in as much detail as ever.

It even used 1/4 of the newspaper to report in detail on "I Am the Archmage" in the 2PAC shooting.

In the English countryside, a woman became a little excited after reading the introduction to "I Am the Archmage".

Isn't this style the evening story I tell my children?

Can I publish a book myself?
