Chapter 6: Traces of the Mage Outside the Town
Bruce struggled to get up from the ground, even though the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he still looked at Akeley with that kind of deep meaning, as if he was pitying, but also seemed disgusted. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ackley couldn't take it anymore and grabbed Bruce and smashed it against the wall.
"Bruce, as a senior of the Night's Watch, I give you a word of advice, never provoke an opponent you can't defeat, or you will die a terrible death. ”
"Of course, I won't kill you today, but you're not much better off than dead. ”

The news that Myer's manuscript had been approved by Master Loren caused a small storm among a group of junior editors, and at the center of the storm were Maier and Elle, as well as a cheeky Wren.
Since being attracted to Myer's story, Elle has often taken the initiative to walk with Myer, mainly to discuss novels, but the more time they spend together, other aspects are naturally involved.
For example, Ellie's dream of becoming a librarian or something.
This suddenly made the eyes of other teenagers hot, if it weren't for the hormones, there was morality and reason to control the behavior of the body, but I was afraid that they would have to act quite irrationally.
Perhaps a teenager would suddenly jump out in front of Myer, dressed formally, with a long sword in his hand, pointing at him, and saying something very strange.
"Mel, let's have a duel, the victor gets Ellie, and the loser must not come near Ellie. ”
Of course, if such a person really had to say, maybe Ellie would be furious, how could there be such a strange thing to treat themselves as a bet, and what qualifications did they have to treat themselves as a bet?
The angry Ellie is not easy to mess with, as a girl from the Toronto family, practicing swordsmanship is a must, coupled with the physical advantage of girls over boys in pre-puberty, there are really not many of these teenagers who can beat Ellie.
On the way home, Wren said this to Myer.
Maier couldn't cry or laugh, and suddenly asked, "Wren, do you like Elle too?"
Wren shook his head.
"When I was in the Pizza Library, you used to sneak in Ellie's back, and you would get distracted and giggle when you looked at it, and I'm pretty sure I was right," Malton poked. ”
Wren was a little annoyed and said angrily, "How can I giggle?
"Come on, Wren, it's not a shame. ”
"But ......" Wren suddenly sighed and said, "But she is the pearl of the Toronto family, and I am just a marginal figure in the family, I am not worthy of her ......"
Maier thought about it, but decided to persuade the young man in front of him.
"Wren, birth is not our choice, this cannot be changed, but there are many turning points in a person's life, you are not completely without a chance, as long as you work hard. ”
"What should I do?"
"Well, for example, you can lose weight first. ”
"Well, Mel, you're here to laugh at my ......"

As the largest and most popular semi-monthly magazine in the principality, Loren Anderson was subscribed to by almost every aristocratic family and wealthy merchants, and its sales were extremely optimistic.
Because of the lack of entertainment in this era, the ball was too long and expensive to prepare, and the field trip was not so safe, and the game of chess was too brain-draining and relaxing.
Reading Loren Anderson doesn't have any of these concerns.
Such a book only needs to be held in one hand, with enough light, and a slightly quiet environment, to be able to read it with relish and immerse yourself in the story world.
Even after reading it, you can share and discuss it with the same readers, which is not fun.
So it was in this environment that Myer's first story appeared before people's eyes.
Pretty princesses, ugly witches, evil magic, blinded kings, righteous dwarven knights, and young handsome princes, and of course, most importantly, perfect endings.
It's a story with a very wide audience, and it's really a good story.
Therefore, when this story appeared in Loren Anderson, most of Loren Anderson's readers were immediately captured and deeply immersed in the story.
And most of their rhetoric is like this.
- Snow White is so beautiful, if only I could marry a beautiful princess like Snow White.
- I'm not that picky, I just want to marry a princess, even if not as beautiful as Snow White.
It's a teenager's fantasy.
- Prince Charming is so handsome, I'm going to marry him.
- I want to marry the prince.
It's a girl's fantasy.
- The dwarfs are so cute, I want to beat them.
- Such a cute dwarf must have been used as a slave.
This was what the slave traders thought.
- Damned witches, damned heretics, burn them.
- Tell me where this witch is, and I'll ask her to help me kill someone.
This is what the die-hard believers of the temple and their opponents think.
But not many people are curious about the emerging author of Meier, firstly, because in the current era, there are many chivalric novels, and it is not impossible to be better than Snow White.
The second is because the author's name on Loren André is not Meier's real name, but an author's name.
In fact, many authors choose this way, on the one hand, they want their stories to be recognized, they want to see their stories spread in people's mouths, and they want to gain fame.
But on the other hand, they want to be able to separate this aspect from their private life and not be disturbed, and for this reason, the change of author's name is a normal and even frequent thing.
So when a good story and a new author name appear on Loren Anderson, they generally think that the old author has changed the author's name, rather than a new author has appeared.
But in the Pisa Library, Maier did attract some attention, again from the junior editors.
The Pisa library operator had more than one periodical, and Loren Anderson was the most famous, and Myer's story had been reviewed by Master Loren, but they didn't expect it to be Loren Anderson.
This left them a little confused.
Junior editors who can come to work at the Pisa Library are interested in the text, and if they can, they will try to write their own stories in the hope of appearing in the journal.
They usually set this time more widely, probably after two or three years of accumulation, or even more, and the target is not Loren Anderson at the beginning.
And yet a colleague standing right next to them, an inconspicuous colleague, even a colleague who came in later than them, did what they were prepared to do in a few years.
So their emotions become very subtle.
A little envious, a little jealous, and a little discouraged......
Mel noticed the change in his gaze, but he didn't have time to do anything, and he didn't plan to do anything, because he had more important things to do.
For example, the mage trail that appeared yesterday outside the town.
