Preview of the second volume

*** ***

The greatest mobilization in the history of the North, the greatest crisis in the history of the South. Due to the de facto rebellion of the Julok Republic and the Northern Military District, the free countries did not have enough troops at their disposal for a while.

"I don't want to fight a civil war, but if you want to attack, I can only accompany you. Do you know who the real enemy is? It's the Empire!"

"The empire must get Stillburg! The ownership of the central plain of the Kirman is related to the success or failure of the empire! All the principalities and candidate states are fully mobilized!"

Men and women act separately, envoys from the Julok Republic, former enemies turn into comrades-in-arms.

"Which do you think is the best agent? you, me, or anyone else? Let's decide by the winner - the one who gets the Julok is the winner. ”

"Only the Ruloks can decide where the Rulok Republic belongs. I've been working hard all my life and will continue to do so. ”

Second Lieutenant Naimon Soleton looked up at the hazy sunlight in the mist. When young girls look up to reality, they will understand that there is a heavy thing called responsibility.

"Then I slowly realized that I didn't have any dreams that I had to achieve. My thinking is always swayed by the people around me, and I always work hard for them. ”

"Perhaps...... I've found something I want to work for. ”

Espionage, intelligence, diplomacy, the lives and fortunes of millions of people hang by a thread, and all-out war could break out at any time.

"At first, it was laid out, and then the parties started to settle. By the time the war began, everything was already doomed. War never believes in genius, and planning always determines success or failure. ”

"There is such a thing as a war genius, if you don't participate in the war, you won't know. All plans are destroyed when they are carried out – but we still have to make them. ”

The thread of fate entwined in chaos, the warm sunshine of early spring, the faint mist of spring, and the butterfly in the storm enter a new chapter covered with war clouds!

"Maybe this thing should be called an ideal, right?"

"Ideals are just mirages. The end determines the means, and the means always affect the ends in turn. ”

The offensive and defensive battles between Deland and Lenny, from Fort Steele to Kengler, at Fort Fort, peace trembled on the tightrope, the elites of the North and South were exhausted, and the story of BIS was finally in full swing!

"Thin Brume".

Postscript to this volume

*** ***

Pure small talk

*** ***

Well, a few thoughts and small talk.

The path of literature is such a profession that requires talent! (aria)

It's really hard for someone like me to be able to do it without any talent. The most painful thing is not geniuses, nor mediocre talents who are complacent with their current level, but two knives that struggle senselessly with perseverance between not going up or down! In any case, writing a postscript now is not empty words, and I can finally write some serious feelings and writing intentions. To reiterate upfront: my profile doesn't deceive the reader with a single word!

The volume of twilight is finally finished, and the first part of "Butterfly" is over. It took about more than four months to write a full 49 verses, "358450 words completed" (very serious addition: in fact, the number of words at the starting point is not accurate, the pure text is only 640k, how can there be 350,000 words). There are so many words, and Kuaishou is still far away, but the speed can barely boast, at least the things that come out are not too bad (of course, it's not very good). I still felt a lot more relaxed when I filled in the last line of the Twilight Scroll. Looking back at the words written in the past four months, I feel that the last two years of charging and brewing have not been in vain, and at least there has been some improvement - although it is not a lot, I still feel ashamed to look back, and once again set the ambition of "I must completely revise it in the future" (why do I say again...... ）。 In the future, if I have the opportunity to write a complete book, I will probably put GBR in the BIS preface. At present, according to the outline, GBR is the "prologue", and the remnant light, trade wind, and twilight are the "first chapter", and then the author is worried about whether to write two or three chapters first......

Hopeless self-encouragement

"I don't write books for the attention of the contemporaries, but for posterity as classics. —Ancient Greece, Thucydides

"What I really wanted to write was 'Butterflies in the Storm,' GBR · N is just a preface to the butterfly. —Imitation of the arrogant words spoken by Orson Coste Card

Okay, back to the point. As you can see now, this book under the banner of YY, full of not very subtle spoofs, and the beginning seems to be messy, but it is actually written as a super long epic fantasy. Under the atmosphere of spoof and light comedy, there is a complete set of epic fantasy level settings and world views. The chronology, geography, and humanities of this story, the author can confidently say that it will not be much worse than the setting of any epic fantasy in the world. I only have the setting of the worldview, and I have the money to be proud of (in other words, as a novelist, what a failure...... ）。 As for someone's lofty ultimate goal of nothingness, it is to write a whole set of truly epic works that "can be shown to others even if they are placed on the bookshelf at home" (in fact, as long as they are placed on the author's own bookshelf, the author does not blush...... Really).

Underneath the chaotic combination of technology and magic is a very simple and striking world code: a code that is completely contrary to the fantasy formula that began with LOTR. The vast majority of epic fantasy works since Tolkien have a very obvious characteristic: in the worldview, there is a "good old gone", or "the lost advanced civilization of antiquity"—in a word, "the past is better than the present". The Lord of the Rings itself is a fictional world created to fill in ancient mythology, needless to say, Istar of the Dragonlance, Amber's Real City, Feron's Empire of Sickness, and countless games and novels such as "Ancient Civilizations", "Ancient Magic", "Lost Atlantis", ...... All of this can be said to be a reflection of the Christian Garden of Eden, or a yearning for the good old days.

But my world is set up differently: in this worldview, there are ancient empires that have perished, but there are absolutely no "powerful civilizations that have passed away". The basis of BIS's worldview is "rationality".

Yes, "rational". The worldview of BIS acknowledges the butterfly effect and does not admit the existence of fate, and acknowledges the laws of history and does not recognize the theory of historical inevitability. The BIS's worldview allows magic to exist, religion to exist, but it does not recognize creationism, but natural selection. There are gods in the world of BIS, but they are not created by God, but by man. Everything is set according to reason. Here, the forbidden spell is not an ancient forbidden curse, but a gradual study with the development of the times, and spiritual power is not the enemy of science, but the two wings of the scientific method. The magic technology of the old era is always not as powerful as the new era. This is a magical world that is constantly evolving, and it does not stay in a fixed era forever, but it does not stop moving.

Except for one very idealistic philosophical premise: in this world, the spirit determines power. The power of magic is determined only by the strength of the faith. The sword does not suppress the pen, nor can power and violence suppress wisdom and thought. Because there is magic as the blade of the wise, because there is magic as the spear of knowledge.

This is the biggest, purest YY, laughs.

Summary and review

*** ***

If the first volume before was not enough to smash bricks...... This second volume is enough to smash bricks. In my personal writing opinion, the advantages and disadvantages of BIS are really significant, and it is very suitable for the mouth of a poisonous snake. (Insertion ads: Now you can bite down, you can urge the author to improve in the later chapters!There are not many opportunities for such a good bite, bite now, the effect is fast, bite Ma Ma Xiang, and send back the volume, want to bite as soon as possible!)

The first is the self-examination of the plot. Compared with the great reversal of the first volume, the reversal of the second volume, according to the words of some readers, "However, when the author revealed the answer, I suddenly found that there was no change, and I was inevitably disappointed." What's this...... It may still have something to do with the rush in the last few quarters. Although, I've tried my best to be "unexpected, reasonable...... So far, it's only a "first-class plot and a half", and I'll work harder to improve the outline. (ahahahaha...... The plot behind ...... Let's keep the current impression of "nothing has changed" for the first time, ahahahaha...... ）

And then there's the writing...... Writing...... That's probably it, no matter how gorgeous it is, it's going to be a eunuch. You see, the most ornate writers like to dig holes and become eunuchs—because ornate writing is unlikely to survive epic lengths. I was well aware of the fact that I had no talent, so I didn't expect anything from the writing side. If you really rely on refining words and words, your writing can indeed be improved to another level...... However, how can it be possible to refine words sentence by sentence in a super long article, then even if you write it to death, you can't finish it.

And then there are the characters. The characters are really hard...... Tear. Although I have been scrutinizing the character for two or three months, I still feel that there is something wrong when it finally falls into the pen. Or it should be said that although it is smooth enough in terms of "rational logic", when it comes to the specific text, it always does not reflect the changes in the characters. Only when I have actually written it does I know how difficult it is to write characters who are "non-faceted" and "have a mental journey". Or write Facebook to make it easy...... In particular, it is even more difficult to write about the characters with a little bit of self-interest called "thinking". Sun Xiao wrote a heroic chronicle, and halfway through the writing, all the characters became smugglers, and recently even the plot has become smugglers, and he has run out of a huge army of smugglers of 1.34 million plus 13 million...... It's a really difficult road. If there is a poisonous snake that can guide the characters in the maze, it would be very grateful.

Finally, dog blood. The dog's blood is still not spilled, save me...... (The person who was listed in the list of "famous Internet female writers" but still couldn't sprinkle dog blood convulsed and fled)

PS: The author is a man, but there was a misunderstanding before...... (You really misunderstood...... Explosion)

A statement of all evil

*** ***

Finally, find a corner and whisper a statement.

Next, the main line should stop for a while, and the author should take a break, conceive the plot and structure later, and then accumulate the manuscript. Since the author is a little dissatisfied with the second half of the twilight volume, it may have to be revised again. Some paragraphs are written in too much hurry, too "smooth", too in one go, resulting in a significant lack of strength and detail. Because of this, I reviewed it and decided to reduce the update rate appropriately in the future, about one session every three days. Although it can be written in almost two days, the quality does deteriorate.

In the next update, we will start serializing the set chronology and geography of the GBR and BIS worlds, which can also be read as imitation historical essays and writing plans, and you can also guess the future direction of BIS from it. I swear by the soul of my setters and the soul of Otaku, it won't be too ugly...... So, so be it. I'm going to dig the beginning of another pit and prepare the backlog for the next round.
