Chapter Forty-Nine: The Invisible Connection

(High energy ahead, please refrain from eating or drinking while watching!)

Looking at the three "celebrities" who focused their attention on themselves, Edison instantly sensed the malice from the world!

"Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm have become employees of the editorial department of "Nonsense Wizard", and they also like his adaptation of "Nonsense Fairy Tales", is there anything more nonsense than this?"

After venting the soul of complaining in his heart, Edison said in an embarrassed attitude:

"It's a pleasure to see you like my book for the first time, and if you're writing too, I'll definitely take a look!"

As soon as he heard this, before Greene could speak first, Jacob Green, the eldest of the Grimm brothers, spoke: "Really? That's great, I just happened to finish writing a long story about "The Legend of the Funny Frog", can you help me read it and give some advice?"

"Also, the outline is ...... here."

Edison took the manuscript when he heard this, and took a cursory look at it, but his face became quite wonderful as the story developed:

(ˇ?ˇ) want to ~

(⊙_⊙)——

(⊙o⊙) Ah—— the groove -

O__O "Embarrassment...

The outline of the story is as follows:

A magician who is proficient in transfiguration, one day because he made a mistake in the transfiguration on himself, he became a giant green frog who could not be turned back, he was originally a genius of the magic family, but after the news was known, his life won a huge change, his fiancée came to the door to divorce, and his people began to reject him. His family doesn't recognize him anymore, and only his childhood sweetheart is willing to adopt him. But as a owner......

But at this time, he learned from a ring that he had hung on his body since he was a child. He became like this because he was cursed or blessed, and the ring was actually the embodiment of the magic inheritance left behind by the death of a legendary Transfiguration, and only when he could master the Legendary Transfiguration could he finally turn back into a human.

Eventually, the giant green frog left the sad place and began to practice the magic of transformation......

Along the way, his special situation has attracted the attention and research of various female magicians, including his fiancée's teacher, the royal sister-type ice specialized female magician, who paid attention to him.

The chief auctioneer of the Great Magic Auction House, a plump/full-type fire-type specialized female magician, arrested him.

A plague sorceress in a small city who sells potions for a living, studied him and nearly ......dissected him.

N years later. After being persecuted, he finally became a legendary monster - the giant frog with the inheritance in the ring and the body of the giant green frog, and used transfiguration to turn all the female magicians who had studied him and hurt him into a giant green frog and included them in his harem. (End)

......

After Edison read this story, his hands trembled, his heart was "plopping, plopping" and beating non-stop, he slowly raised his head and looked at the Brothers Grimm solemnly and majestically, and the hearts of the Brothers Grimm who had been watching also kept beating with the "plop, plop".

Suddenly, the serious expression on Edison's face dissipated, and he asked with a smile: "What the hell is this? Why is it a giant green frog, why is it a divorce stream that has turned into a genius? Why has it been persecuted by female magicians all the way? and. The most important thing is, why didn't the protagonist change back into a human in the end!?"

Without waiting for the elder brother to answer, the younger brother William Green rushed to reply: "Because isn't that how 'Talking Fairy Tales' is written?"

Edison: "......" makes so much sense that I'm speechless.

Half a day. Only then did he speak weakly: "Forget it, put these problems aside, this is indeed a good story." You can serialize this story in the next issue of "Fairy Tales!"

"Ahem!" it was only then that Greene coughed back Edison's messy thoughts.

Probably seeing Edison's inner embarrassment and speechlessness, he proposed, "All right! I'd better take him around to see the publishing house. ”

With that, Greene got up and opened the door, motioning for Edison to follow

But before going out. Edison asked Hans Christian Andersen cheaply, "Did you write any stories?"

Who would have thought that it was okay not to ask, but as soon as you asked, it was exposed...... Hans Christine Andersen, who had previously behaved as a quiet and steady man, was actually just sullen, and as soon as he found out that someone was talking to him, he couldn't wait to stuff a note into Edison's hand.

If you really think it's just a plain note, you're wrong.

Because this is a magic letter paper that can transmit information within a certain range, each piece of paper is double-layered, as long as one of the layers is given to others when needed, so that no matter what the two of them write on the paper, it will be displayed on the other layer, so it is quite like a remote chat.

It's just that the shortcomings of this magic letter paper are obvious, the text written on it cannot be modified, it can only be smeared, and because the size of the paper is limited, the information that can be transmitted on it is also limited, and the most important thing is that when the double layer distance of the magic letter paper is more than 100 meters, it will be the same as ordinary white paper!

To put it bluntly, this is an "artifact" for short-distance information transmission, which is only suitable for messaging in some large office spaces, and remote transmission crystals are still needed.

And Green, seeing that no one was following, turned around and saw such a scene......

But seeing Edison fiddling with the paper with a confused look of "what is the situation", he couldn't help but remind: "Don't think about it, Hans will write what he wants to say directly on the paper later." ”

Edison's eyes twitched, and he complained puzzledly: "What's the point of him doing this, I'm obviously in front of him! Can't he just talk to me?"

In this regard, Greene could only explain with a wry smile: "Hans, he is the person who is responsible for replying to letters in the editorial department all the year round, and somehow, he has developed a habit of only writing letters and not talking, no matter what, he likes to write letters and communicate with people, but rarely talks directly to strangers, you just get used to it!"

"Usually even if he communicates with us. It's also the posture I wrote for you with a pen and paper!"

"So...... No delay anyway. I'll show you around here first! Hans doesn't usually stop without filling a piece of paper. ”

Listening to this explanation, Edison could only think with a subtle expression: "Is this a magic letter paper communication dependence syndrome"?

Soon, though. He was made unable to complain about what he had seen and heard along the way, because with Green's guidance and continuous introduction, Edison discovered that compared with the two just now, this publishing house is really a collection of heroes (wonderful), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

......

You see, for example, a winner in his early 30s, who was sandwiched between several women to deliver lunch, was painful and happy. When you inquire with others, you will find out: he is the editor-in-chief of "Romance" magazine, and he is romantic, and the most important thing is that his name is - Victor Hugo!

Another example is that Edison passed by a training room, and saw a fat, fat, and about 50-year-old man, who was patiently writing and instructing the people below, and looked up to see that the name on the lecturer's desk turned out to be Gustave Flaubert.

Or sitting at his hands and deserting. He frowned at a female student below, who claimed to be the most gifted writing disciple he had ever taught, until he stood up and was gently reminded by the roll call. Edison only knew that he was Guy de Maupassant

The current president of the publishing house is a legendary magician who has not been seen for many years and has a pen name: Shakespeare.

Many have speculated that Shakespeare's true identity is that of the legendary troubadour in the civilian government. But he was not forced to admit it, and he himself hung everyone's appetite with an attitude that neither denied nor admitted.

If there is something important to announce in the publishing house every time. The announcement is usually made by the three vice presidents.

Speaking of which, these three vice presidents are actually "celebrities" that Edison heard of in his previous life, they are-

First Vice President of the Western Continent Branch: Charles Dickens (author of "Orphans of the Fog" in his previous life).

Second Vice President of the Western Continent Branch: Charlotte Brontë (author of Jane Eyre in his previous life).

Third Vice President of the Western Continent Branch: Jules Verne (author of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" in his previous life).

Well in this world. Did they publish these well-known books from Edison's previous life?

Edison said, "Nonsense!" Of course not, otherwise he wouldn't have known him.

But such a strange overlap of names still makes his heart heavy, once or twice can also be said to be a coincidence, the winding power brought by the traverser, but now such a large-scale duplicate name can only explain:

In addition to the direct influence brought by the time-traveler, there is also an invisible force, or information disturbance, that is subtly connected with the world of the previous life, and as for whether such a connection is good or bad, Edison can't say clearly, but it gives him a glimmer of hope to return home.

......

In the stop-and-go introduction, the time quickly reached 13 o'clock at noon, Edison, who had visited for nearly 2 hours, leisurely did it, took out the note given by Andersen and planned to inform them to eat together, by the way, to see what he wrote, and also hoped to communicate at the dinner table, but on the paper wrote such a story that ruined his childhood, the story is called "The Ugly Bird":

Once upon a time, there was a very ugly bird on the farmer's farm, because all the birds thought he was ugly, and he himself thought so, he was very inferior, and anyone could bully him because he was ugly.

Until one time, he couldn't stand this kind of bullying, and slightly instigated his wings, but easily slapped to death a bird who said he was ugly.

The owner of the farm was overjoyed to find out about this phenomenon, and the next day all the "male" birds that said he was ugly were gone, leaving only the female to be with him, and from then on, all the birds around him looked like him, and no bird would call him ugly anymore. (End)

......

Edison's heart is complicated at the moment, he thought that he was already a master of ruining childhood, but he didn't expect that after being influenced by himself...... These "celebrities" are even more sad (dry) and sick (drifting) crazy (bright), which is deeply true!

He began to regret it a little, he knew that he would not write "Nonsense Fairy Tales";

Then an idea came to me: maybe I can salvage these fairy tales! )

PS: (21~22 to defend the thesis, I here in advance "squeak", in order to ensure that the time is constantly changing, so the manuscript will be saved in the next two days; the number of words to update will be reduced.) Forgive me!)
