Eric's study.

Mr. Writer is working on a book called "A Song of Frost and Fire", which has just come to an end of the first stanza.

According to Mu Yan, this part should be broken neatly, such as at the climax, leaving a strong suspense, so as to arouse the reader's desire to continue chasing.

Mr. Writer thought this was too much at first, but then he thought about it and agreed with it very much, so he slapped his thigh and made it more crisp, so that the character who seemed to be the protagonist was pushed off the windowsill, and this section ended.

After writing the plot and putting down his pen, Eric looked at his character sheet and fell into deep thought.

Martin pushed the door open with a hot coffee.

Martin had been a waiter at the Twilight Tavern for a while, and quickly became acquainted with Eric and became his servant.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always felt that Eric's accent was familiar, as if he was from the Kansa area, but whenever he asked about the other party's identity, he smiled and didn't say anything.

Seeing the dense crowd of characters on the wall, Martin guessed that Mr. Eric was having trouble with the fate of these characters again. He knew that this was a great writer, and because of the proximity to the water, he was fortunate enough to read this book for the first time, and quickly indulged in it and couldn't extricate himself.

But he was curious, what should he do if there are so many characters at the beginning of a story?

Putting down his coffee, he simply asked the question.

"On this subject...... Eric thought for a moment, "it's okay, my editor-in-chief said he would give me a lot of space if the kids liked the story......"

"No, Mr. Eric, I mean...... The question of the trade-offs of the characters. You can only advance the fate of several people at the same time, and there are always people who are put on hold. Over time, the old characters are forgotten, the addition of new characters dilutes the story, and it takes a lot of pen and ink and space to portray the waves of the characters' fate......"

When Eric heard this, he felt that Martin had a lot of ideas, so he simply asked: "Then what do you think should be done?" ”

"Die." Martin said seriously: "If you are killed, you will die, since you have to create multiple characters, you simply don't have a protagonist." Since there is no luck for the protagonist, when fate comes to a certain point and makes a wrong choice, the death knell will ring, and the person will die, without life. This way you don't have to worry about their scenes. ”

Eric shuddered, but he suddenly felt an endless surge of inspiration.

"Martin, be my assistant." He couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? Me, can I? ”

"Yes, as long as you are good enough, I will let your name appear after me, and then you will have the opportunity to write a great book of your own!" After a pause, he asked, "By the way, I don't know your full name yet." ”

"George Raymond Richard Martin, sir."

Martin replied excitedly.

---------------

On April 9, the sixth issue of the newspaper "Bignius" was released.

There was still a long queue outside the newsstand.

Most of the students who got up early and queued up did not open the newspaper in their hands as soon as possible, but went to the classroom first to pick a more conspicuous spot, so that more people would come around.

With Jialan's current price level, 1 gold coin can barely eat a full day in the outer city, and many students are still unwilling to use a day's living expenses to buy a newspaper that is published once every 3 days......

But that doesn't include Derees, who isn't poor enough to do that.

Open today's newspaper, the front is rare and does not tell those lace news, on the contrary, almost the entire page is telling a story.

A Song of Frost and Fire

Looking at the title, it should be a knight of the fantasy world, which is very common in the plains of the horses.

The new world in the text is often based on the history that has already happened, with fictional protagonists for adventures, and often has ambiguous entanglements with elves, and finally returns to the human kingdom to be knighted and worshipped, etc...... Dresses also read a lot of similar stories when he was a child, but most of them are thick, and from today's eyes, it seems that there is no nutrition in the whole text, which represents the extreme desire of human beings is nothing more than to soak in the elves and become kings, and there is no other pursuit.

But with such a piece of paper in front of you, what story can you tell?

Lokan did not have a mature publishing industry, and was basically an aristocrat who was literate and had the spare time to write books.

Aristocrats often did not need to worry about their livelihoods, so writing books was only a means of interest and entertainment, mostly to show their knowledge and show off their elegance, the most famous of which was Baron Marcus of the Morning Star.

As one of the many barons on the plains of the herding horses, he was able to open a chain of taverns called "Milk Love" in the bustling section of Morningstar City, and his deep pockets speak for themselves. And both this wealth and the name of the tavern come from his own experience - "Milk Love".

This tells the story of a super-friendly relationship between Marcus, a nobleman with his namesake in an alternate world, who has a super-friendship with a number of big-breasted women in his adventures, the content is easy to understand, the description is vivid, and Marcus himself is an aristocrat, and he knows the habits and temperament of the aristocracy well, which makes this book addictive, and its name even spreads to Jialan.

So now this is to be emulated?

Dreas remembers that "Milk Love" was also a thin booklet story at the beginning, but Marcus put it together and sold it for a good price.

Deres is also a thinker, and from the time this newspaper first appeared, he wondered why Mu Yan did this, because in his opinion the teacher was a very mysterious person—mysterious and interesting.

But this time, he couldn't keep up with the other party's thinking.

Read the first side carefully, this is a story that takes place in the fictional world of Westeros, where seven principalities are scattered and submit to the feet of the descendants of the dragon.

The story begins after the new king leads the Seven Kingdoms to overthrow the Dragon Descendants and is proclaimed king.

The story style is more refined than that of knights, but not as serious as documentary texts......

It is not like a high-minded narrator, but more personal - for example, the protagonist at the beginning of the story is neither the descendant of the dragon nor the new king, but the original seven kings, one of the current seven dukes, and the three heirs of the Duke of Lancaster's family: the eldest son is the new king's royal bodyguard, the eldest daughter is the queen of the new king, and the younger son is a dwarf born deformed.

"How does it feel like Professor Dawn is telling a story? The ...... of the crepe

Dreas was quickly amused by the thought of his own. How could Professor Dawn tell such a lively story: a royal guard who cheated on his sister behind the back of the new king, and a dwarf brother who lingered on the belly of a prostitute and was ugly......

Non-fiction is all serious and rigid, as is the case in most people's minds.

But the story is lively, and Dres can even feel that the person who wrote the story is giving him frequent "you know" hints.

It feels so wonderful.

As he continued reading, he didn't feel the passage of time at all, until the plot came to an abrupt end.

"That's it?"

He flipped through the pages as if uncertain, and finally realized that this was indeed the end of the story.

In the story, the daughter of the Duke of Lancaster sneaks into the terrace where the evening breeze is harmonious while the king is asleep on the other side of the pillow, and the royal guard is climbing up from under the windowsill......

It came to an abrupt end here.

"Damn, I just stopped at this time......"

Deres couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and then hurriedly covered his mouth and looked around.

Thankfully, no one found out.

Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but turn to the first side and read the story again, smacking his lips, loving and hating the broken chapter at this critical juncture.

"It looks like the gold coin in three days later won't be saved."

……

The same experience happened in the corners and corners, and almost the same scene played out on different people, even the nobles.

Eric, the initiator, sneezed for almost a day, and he knew that he had been secretly greeted countless times.

"If you want to blame it, blame that guy Mu Yan, this is what he taught me, what hangs people's appetite to ensure curiosity, this is a good ***, in order to prolong the vitality of the work, you must do this......"

As for the culprit, he was sitting in Professor Dawn's cabin, receiving the old man's constant praise for Eric......
