Luo Lan is blind to the printing and publishing of books in the Ayalan Kingdom, if he is not in a hurry to try to make money, he will only focus on improving his strength, and will not think about literary and artistic knowledge at all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

So after thinking about it, he decided to cut through the mess quickly and directly hand over the manuscript to the owner of the bookstore in the city to sell it.

The two of them found the largest bookstore in the city, called Slot's Book House, and as soon as they pushed the door, they were greeted by the unique smell of book ink, which was not unpleasant. There were a lot of customers coming in and out of the bookstore, and it was the bookstore clerk who received them.

It is undoubtedly very rare for such a stunned young man to come to the publication of a book manuscript, and most of the scholars who publish books have a fixed channel, as long as the manuscript is written and handed over to the cultural officials of the kingdom for review, it can be printed in large quantities in various cities, villages and towns.

The female clerk quickly led the two to the owner of the bookstore, a middle-aged man with a two-handful beard and a single round eye, who was sorting through a pile of documents and listening to his subordinates report on the business status of books. After briefly understanding the intentions of the two, he glanced up impatiently and said casually.

"I want to print and sell the finished manuscripts, there happens to be a publishing slot this month, and we can publish it after our Slote administrator has reviewed it, and I need thirty silver coins at my own expense, and the accountant will register it for them, and send it for printing with the book the day after tomorrow, remember to leave my address for easy notice." ”

The bearded bookstore owner seems to have encountered this situation very often, and dealt with it very quickly, without saying a word, he hurried to the publication of the city bulletin, and assigned several female clerks and managers to immediately start reviewing the manuscript.

Publishing and printing were resolved very quickly.

After finishing the affairs of the bookstore, Luo Lan took Lucia back to the street, during which the female clerk enthusiastically introduced the two of them to the situation of publishing for a while, so that they finally got to know each other.

The library of the kingdom of Ayalan is generally divided into three types of books, one is the manuscript obtained from the scholar of the volume, after the review has a profitable market, it can be sold in large quantities, and the object of cooperation is generally the more famous scholar of the volume. The second is the publication of mandates, such as the dogmas promulgated by the dukes, princes and even kings of Ayalan, or the State Chronicle, which is assigned by the Holy See of Light to print canons, which are all national book publications.

As long as the content complies with the laws of the kingdom, even if the sentence is not in the right mouth, one or two hundred copies can be printed, and as for whether it can be sold, it is not the business of the library, it is often a remote corner of the shelf, and no one cares about it until it is taken off the shelves.

The female clerk seemed very kind, answered the little girl's questions, and finally told the two that her name was Jenny, and she was a new clerk.

Lucia smiled and thanked the female clerk Jenny, and then went straight to the academy with Luo Lan, and they had to rush back to class in the afternoon.

Evening.

Inside the Slote Book House.

The closed bookstore is still busy, with clerks and publication managers reviewing upcoming manuscripts to make sure there are no errors.

Jenny is a new clerk, but she has studied at the Academy of Magic for a few years and has a level of education, so the boss also assigned her, a newcomer, the task of reviewing the manuscript.

Re-reading the manuscript in her hand, Jenny reconfirmed the signature on the back, the name left by the author is Suzumu, and it is true that they are two customers who came over in the morning to publish at their own expense. She remembered that one of them was a cute little girl, and the other looked a little mysterious, shrouded in a black robe.

"This, these stories...... It's so beautiful!"

This is not the first time Jenny has reviewed published books, her task is only to find mistakes or find illegal propaganda, and she does not care about the content and plot. But this fairy tale book, which is composed of small stories, deeply attracted it.

Since she was a child, she has liked to read quietly in the courtyard in the afternoon sun, and she has read a lot of storybooks, whether it is the story book of Ayalan, the books of the neighboring kingdom of Lattimore and other kingdoms, even the once popular "Mr. Suzuki" is no exception, perhaps the author's name of this book comes from it.

But Jenny searched for memories and could swear that she had never read such a concise, smooth and unpretentious storybook, not that it was boring, but precisely that the plot of the writing had reached a very high point and returned to the point of returning to the basics, and a lot of reading had broadened her horizons, but she had never seen a few stories of this level, even in the works of those master-level scholars.

And every seemingly novel and concise story has a thought-provoking meaning behind it, and Jenny is sure that she would have loved it when she saw it as a child, and more importantly, it is also very interesting and thought-provoking to look at it from an adult point of view now.

She flipped through a story called The Wolf, and after reading it, it seemed to tell the famous words of a master of the scrolls, the child who herded the sheep deceived the villagers that the wolf came, which illustrated that lying is a bad behavior, it is not respectful to others, and it will also lose the trust of others.

The profound meaning behind the wonderful fairy tale is a story that is better than the works of the master scholars.

Jenny reported her findings to the bearded owner of the library, but he just waved his hand casually and said that there was no problem and could be published, as if he was completely unconcerned about the new manuscripts, and a good work could be buried like this.

It wasn't until after work that she came home that she still remembered the amazing story in her heart, and thought of the lovely little girl who handed over the manuscript in the morning, if only she could give birth to such a beautiful girl in the future, Jenny thought so silently when she waited for her husband to come home with a full dinner.

Soon a young man knocked on the door, and it was her husband who had returned. The newlyweds began to eat after a simple hug, although they were not financially rich, but the two felt very happy, during the banquet the young husband suddenly held Jenny's hand, and said with a smile:

"In a few days, there will be a major boxing match in the gladiatorial arena, it seems to be an undead skeleton battle from another world, let's go and see it together. ”

......

An underground gladiatorial arena where people come and go.

The night is an ordinary registration challenge, there are still many spectators sitting on the spectator stage, and the people in the gambling room are even more popular, rubbing shoulders one after another, but they are all looking at the biggest gambling board, and the topics of discussion are also talking about it, and it is very noisy.

After the momentum of the gladiatorial arena and the overwhelming publicity, everyone now knows that there will be a blockbuster boxing match in a few days, one of the players is an undead skeleton from the other world, that there is an undead creature summoned by a necromancer in the upper court, which is a very rare thing in the ordinary city of Ayalan, and few necromancers are willing to show their undead to ordinary commoners and nobles.

One after another propaganda slogans were played, the mystery of the undead in the other world, and the seats for that night were booked in just one day, and the early opening of the betting market made people bet frantically, and the odds soared.

"There is a fist fight match of the undead, and I want to press ten silver coins to win the undead!"

In the crowd, a thin middle-aged man pulled out his money bag and prepared to place a bet. But someone next to him grabbed his arm in time, it was a guy wearing a hat, and the thin man saw his eyes light up and said hello, obviously the two had known each other for a long time.

"Hey, man, don't be in such a hurry, come over here. The guy with the hat pulled the man to a corner and said mysteriously: "I didn't expect to see you for so long, you are still so reckless, have you forgotten the strategy of our casino?"

"Oh, do you have any news?"

The thin man's small eyes flashed, and he knew that the strategy that this companion said was the principle pursued by the veteran gambler, which was called the casino as a battlefield, and the funds were soldiers. In general, it is necessary to have a steady mind, analyze the situation with a cool head, and understand the betting information.

"I just heard an inside ......story from the internal management of the gladiatorial arena," the hooded guy rubbed his index and middle fingers halfway through his words, which meant self-evident, and after getting the coin handed over, he smiled and continued to whisper: "If we didn't know each other well, I wouldn't have revealed this news to ordinary people...... In fact, the undead who was very hot was just a remnant skeleton that had not reached the threshold of a soldier, and the remnant skeleton did you know? It may not be as strong as the farmer in the countryside, it is very weak, and it is said that the steward of the gladiatorial arena also ordered the opponent to fight lightly, lest the game be over as soon as it comes up......"

"Really?!" The thin man exclaimed, immediately realizing the gaffe and cursing in a low voice: "This damn gladiatorial arena is so dark, boasting about a low-level skeleton so much, it is clear that I want us all to bet into it, and then defeat the upset in one fell swoop, no, I have to press the boxer to win, put all the funds into it, and make it a lot of money when the time comes......"
