Chapter 872: Human Emperor Aragorn
In the spacious courtyard, no one drank the tea brewed by Zhang Chu, and even the fruit bowl was placed there alone.
Everyone buried their heads in the work, and they didn't have the leisure to eat and drink at all.
Originally, the housewarming was to make the house lively, but it turned out to be so quiet that you could almost hear the sound of a car engine in the distance!
Zhang Chu didn't want to disturb them, so he simply took out the laptop in the room and began translating the English version in the courtyard in the sunshine.
He had a strong premonition that maybe this "Lord of the Rings" would bloom inside the walls and incense outside the walls.
This kind of fantasy work with a slow pace and not too many cool and cute points is difficult to attract readers other than its own fans in the first place.
If you only look at the first 10,000 or 20,000 words, it is very likely that you will give a big bad review!
So he didn't plan to make a trial reading of tens of thousands of words like "The Da Vinci Code", which would expose his shortcomings.
The Da Vinci Code creates suspense from the outset and keeps the reader hooked.
And the beginning of "The Lord of the Rings" is decent, there are not many highlights to speak of, and its story unfolds slowly!
If you don't have patience, you won't be able to experience the fun at all.
At first, Zhang Chu thought that he could write 20,000 words of Chinese and 20,000 words of English every day, but later found that there was no need for that.
Because the Chinese version needs to be constantly modified, the corresponding English version also needs to change, and if you keep writing the progress, there will be a lot of unnecessary trouble later.
So he simply wrote the Chinese version and then translated it into English, saving the effort of revising the English version.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to come up with both versions in such a short period of time!
A group of people read a book, a person writes a book, and the whole courtyard looks extremely harmonious.
I don't know how long it has been, Zhao Fang walked over from the path next to the small building, she saw that the group of children were all fascinated, but she had to open her mouth to interrupt their reading: "Everyone has eaten, or let's take a look after eating!"
Zhang Chu looked at his file, he saved the English version of "The Lord of the Rings", and then held the computer in his hand, saving Matcha from accidentally breaking it while playing.
Yang Ling and the others woke up like a dream, and they all folded the page they were looking at.
"It's going to be lunch so soon, and I feel like it's only been half an hour. Anmi sighed as she stretched.
Zhou Kang was also a little unsatisfied, but he still got up, "It's all because Zhang Chu writes too well, let's go eat first." ”
"Well, after eating, you can choose to take a lunch break or go back to sleep. The sun seems to be a bit big outside, if you think it's dazzling, there is my study on the left side of the first floor, and you can go there to read later. ”
Zhang Chu no longer has to order takeout after having a nanny and aunt, Zhao Fang is a very diligent person, and his cooking skills are good, which is very similar to Zhang Chu's hometown.
Washing their hands and eating, the round table was full of delicacies, and they were a little hungry when they read a book, and they ate without any subtlety.
Although the ancestors all said that they would not eat or sleep, when these people gathered together, the topic fell on "The Lord of the Rings".
"I'm in it, and my two favorite characters right now are not the main character, Frodo, but Gandalf and Aragorn, both of whom are quite attractive. Yang Ling took a sip of soup and asked, "Do these two have a lot of roles in the back?" Aragorn looks quite powerful, shouldn't he get a bento?"
Zhou Kang didn't see this plot because he came much late, so he was very confused: "Who is Aragorn? Is he also a hobbit?"
"No, it's a strange human ranger, who knows Gandalf and calls Freelander, which sounds a bit powerful. ”
"Yes, at the Prancing Horse Inn, Aragorn saved them from the Black Knight. This look has a feeling of being a prodigal master, just look at Zhang Chu's description, it is absolutely amazing. ”
Zhang Chu said with a smile: "When Aragorn will live to the finale, he will still be the emperor ......."
"Don't say it, don't say it!"
"No spoilers!"
"Why are you telling me this?"
Obviously, these people are discussing, and they love this character one by one, and they are worried about getting a lunch box halfway.
But after Zhang Chu said two simple words, he was unanimously criticized by everyone.
The least favorite thing about reading books, watching movies and TV series is being spoiled, so there is no suspense at all.
Now that Yang Ling knew that Aragorn would live to the finale, he immediately judged that this should be a heavyweight, and there was no imaginary plot of heroic sacrifice for saving a few hobbits!
In fact, they haven't seen many plots, and Aragorn's identity has not been completely exposed.
This Ranger is no ordinary character, a descendant of the Human Emperor Essidor, the emperor who was seduced by the One Ring, and after the Lord of the Rings, he became the founding king of the United Kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor.
And Arwin and Rivendell's elven princess Arwyn had a love that spanned the human and elven races, and in the end, Arwyn even gave up his ability to live forever, and did not leave Middle-earth with the rest of the elves, but accompanied Aragorn until his death!
This natural aristocrat is weathered, heroic, reassuring to his peers, has super leadership skills, and is an indispensable member of the Fellowship Squad.
Compared to Frodo, Aragon is more of a hero!
In fact, in the Lord of the Rings, he does enjoy the treatment of the protagonist, especially in "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers", and he is the undisputed male lead.
In the second work, because Frodo and Sam left alone, Aragorn, Pipin and others began to fight on two fronts, and Frodo's role was not too much.
And Aragorn in this work is the protagonist's halo, chasing and killing orcs, finding teammates, defeating opponents with fewer enemies, helping Rohan get out of trouble, and having feelings for the king's daughter, which is completely the treatment of the male protagonist.
Tolkien portrays the future king of humanity in The Twin Towers, a heroic figure who can take charge of his own life, has the responsibility of a leader, is wise and brave, and has the temperament and qualities that all mature men should have.
Zhang Chu felt that when Yang Ling saw that he had written the Twin Towers, he would probably think that the entire book had changed the male protagonist!
The food on the table was swept away, and Anmi and the others didn't want to waste any time, so after a short rest, they went to the courtyard to take the book indoors and continue to read, and they continued their adventure in Middle-earth.
