When the news broke, the world was watching. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's an unprecedented mystery feast, enough to keep any mystery fiction fan excited for days without sleep.
The organizer "Aurora Brain Domain" soon announced the list of participants for this world reasoning competition:
Olivia, Bastian, Gunn, Endoma, Manchester......
Fans who love reasoning are completely boiling!
Any name in these lists has tens of millions of fans, and in these lists, it is the recent rise of theking teachers, all of whom seem a bit inconspicuous, not to mention the Dragon Kingdom reasoning writer Dongfang Yu.
It's the battle of the kings of reasoning!
Even when Luoyang was painting for guests on the streets of Japan, he often heard passers-by discussing this reasoning contest.
Not only Japan, in fact, in the "News Network" of the Dragon Kingdom that night, he also made a special broadcast on this matter for a few minutes.
"Today, a world mystery contest initiated by "Aurora Brain Domain" kicked off, and it is said that this competition will be the grandest competition in the history of reasoning, and "Aurora Brain Domain" has so far sent invitations to 50 mystery writers around the world......
"Among these 56 mystery writers, a total of 10 contestants are from our Asia!"
"My country's famous reasoning writer Mr. Dongfang Yu also received an invitation, after Mr. Dongfang Yu posted his invitation on the meager one, countless netizens have offered their blessings, and Mr. Endoma, who had a literary fight with Mr. Dongfang Yu not long ago, was also invited to participate in this competition, what kind of sparks will they encounter when they meet again......"
Dongfang Yu was milked by the news broadcast of the motherland.
This mysterious force from the East, I don't know how far it can help Dongfang Yu.
But what is certain is that as a qualified to participate in the World Reasoning Competition, Dongfang Yu has become the hope in the hearts of many people, and everyone's blessings to Dongfang Yu are real, after all, there has never been a mystery writer in the Dragon Kingdom who has bloomed in the world.
……
Luoyang ignored the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
He is writing a novel at the moment, and the name of this novel is "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes".
Many people are no strangers to this story, and more precisely, this work has long been familiar to mystery lovers in previous lives.
This "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" is a long detective novel written by British writer Arthur Conan Doyle, the protagonist is named Sherlock Holmes, a total of 4 novels and 56 short stories, the first story is called "A Study in Scarlet Letters".
This book ushered in the "golden age" of detective fiction history!
It is the most respected detective novel in the history of world literature, and is known as the "Bible" of mystery novels by mystery fans.
Since the 30s of the 20th century, countries around the world have published "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", which has been translated into 57 languages for more than 100 years, and has swept the world, and its protagonist Sherlock Holmes is witty and brave, vicious and hateful, and has a high sense of responsibility and mission The image of a private detective can be described as a household name, and Sherlock Holmes has become the best synonym for the world's famous detective and the hero of everyone's worship, and he is also one of the most vivid and successful characters portrayed in British novels.
Conan Doyle is the author, because of this work, he has earned the reputation of "the father of British detective fiction".
Therefore, this is a must-read book for lovers of mystery novels, I haven't read "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", and I am even embarrassed to say that I like mystery novels, this sentence is not an exaggeration to some extent, because the influence of this novel has gone beyond the mystery itself!
And what Luoyang is writing now is the first story of "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", "A Study of Blood Letters".
In fact, "Scarlet Word Study" is not particularly outstanding compared to the entire "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", and it is even a little tragic that when Conan first wrote "Scarlet Word Study", there was no publisher willing to publish this book at all!
Even if a publisher later agreed to publish it, it only paid £25.
Yes, a work that later became popular all over the world and was hailed as the Bible of Speculation, its first story sold for only £25.
If this is not intuitive enough, then in other words, "Blood Word Research", as the beginning of Sherlock Holmes, the remuneration at that time was about more than 230 yuan......
All the great beginnings are actually just mediocre, and the main reason why this work, called "A Study in Scarlet Letters", can later become one of the more well-known in the Sherlock Holmes series is because it is the first case of Sherlock Holmes.
In A Study in Scarlet, the author introduces the protagonists Sherlock Holmes and Watson and all that goes into Baker Street for the first time.
And Luoyang participated in the World Reasoning Contest held by "Aurora Brain Domain", and the story he chose was the first story of "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", "The Study of Blood Words".
[In 1878, after receiving my M.D. from the University of London, I went to Netri to study compulsory courses in military medicine. Immediately after completing my course there, I was assigned to Northumberland 5th Musket Regiment as a medical assistant. This regiment was stationed in India at that time.
When I came ashore in Bombay, I heard that the unit to which I belonged had passed through the mountain pass and advanced deep into enemy territory. Nevertheless, I followed a group of officers who had fallen behind like me and reached Kandaha safely. I found my regiment there and immediately took up my new position......]
The perspective is very interesting, because the perspective of "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" is unfolded with a man named Watson.
Most of the stories in this novel are told from the perspective of Sherlock Holmes' friends, with only two narrated by Sherlock Holmes himself and two written from a third-person perspective.
Moreover, because the history of this world is somewhat different from the previous life, Luoyang had to modify some background elements, but fortunately, the results of these modifications will not affect the interest of the story itself.
In addition, he believes that even if "The Study of Scarlet Letters" is not the most outstanding one in "Sherlock Holmes", it also has excellent quality, so there is no pressure to pass the first round of this world reasoning competition.
As for the translation, Luoyang planned to continue to ask Lu Yuer for help.
According to Lu Yuer's introduction, in addition to being proficient in Japanese, her English level is not bad at all, so Luoyang plans to let Lu Yuer try to translate Sherlock Holmes, and if he can, he even wants to directly hire Lu Yuer as his full-time translator.
