"Please forgive me for asking, because you are a newcomer, and newcomers have too many unstable factors, and it is difficult for them to live in the rhythm of the later part of the story, and may even choose to give up in the middle of the story. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" explained the middle-aged editor.

Maier nodded in understanding, and then said, "I've finished writing the story, and I've brought the complete manuscript with me, so you can take a look." ”

"Really?" the middle-aged editor's eyes lit up.

Maier took out the manuscript and handed it over.

The middle-aged editor hurriedly took it and read it quickly.

Don Quixote is not very large, but it is not short either, so although the middle-aged editor reads it at an astonishing speed, it will not be able to read it for a while.

Therefore, the middle-aged editor chooses to read by leaps, often skimming over a large section of the details of things, and only stopping slightly in the particularly tight climax.

"Yes, really good. ”

The middle-aged editor is not stingy with his admiration for the novel.

"Well, Mr. Calculus, I'm sorry for my previous suspicions, but you don't seem like a newcomer, and many old authors can't do the same thing about the plot as you do. ”

"You're a genius!"

Maier said modestly: "Mr. is too prerequisitive, so Mr. Editor, can we come and negotiate the contract now?"

"Yes, no problem at all. ”

The middle-aged editor was very enthusiastic and said: "The quality of this novel is very good, but after all, I have only read it alone, and what it really needs is the reader's recognition." ”

"And you're still a newcomer, so in terms of price, it probably won't be too high. ”

Maier nodded, the middle-aged editor's words are very reasonable, it is true that in the novel industry, the works of newcomers are actually very uncertain, maybe the quality is very good, but they can't cater to the tastes of readers.

This is a very common thing.

The price of the manuscript is closely related to the reader's recognition, and even more closely related to the quality of the manuscript, so the editor will not give a newcomer too high a price.

But knowing this truth, you still have to fight for your own interests.

First, the price is stated, this is business, if you don't fight, the other party will not pity you because of this, on the contrary, they will get more inches.

In the face of interests, few people can hold on.

Second, Mel is now very short of money, very short of points, and formal-level magic, Mel is still missing one to complete.

Moreover, the potions needed for formal magicians to assist in meditation are not cheap, and it is even more expensive to go to the tower to listen to the lectures of intermediate magicians.

So the two sides started a war of words.

After a long period of back and forth, the price was finally determined within a suitable range, in line with Meier's psychological expectations, and within the range of the editor's acceptance.

"Mr. Calculus, you really don't look like a newcomer, either in fiction or in bargaining. The middle-aged editor pretended to smile bitterly.

Maier smiled and said, "Nice to work with." ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

The exchange ratio of gold coins and points is one to one, and this time the middle-aged editor gave Don Quixote a price of twenty points for a chapter, and Don Quixote's official chapters have a total of one hundred and twenty-six.

This means that Don Quixote will bring him almost 2,000 gold coins.

Compared to Byzantium, this income is higher, and although he is a newcomer, it is not much different from the price of Mel after Byzantium had already won the best young writer.

It's not that Master Loren deliberately lowered prices, but that there is a gap in the consumption level between the two places.

It's just that this money is not in place all at once, but with the publication of Don Quixote, part by part, it can be settled about once a month.

Of course, if the reader reviews it well, the price will also increase.

According to the ten chapters and a half monthly, Maier gets four hundred gold coins in a month.

For ordinary people, even ordinary people in Pigg, this is a high income, but for a magician in the growth period, it is a bit insufficient.

The usual meditation potions and lives of Mel, Lily, and Little Lauren cost almost a hundred gold coins, and the remaining three hundred gold coins could not buy any magic materials at all.

And the lectures of intermediate magicians are even more expensive, and an ordinary class often requires dozens of points, which means that the three hundred gold coins in Maier's hand can only listen to a few classes at most.

Leaving a month's worth of manuscripts for the middle-aged editor, Mel touched the magic badge on his chest.

For magicians, the birth of points is very meaningful, for example, this time, if the middle-aged editor is paid in gold, then Mel has to carry a small money bag.

The use of points is to use magic badges to trade, which is a lot more convenient.

Back at home, Mel meditated for a while, then began to think.

Don Quixote was recognized by the middle-aged editor, so there is no need to worry about daily living expenses for the next period of time, but he is still very lacking in magic equipment, and he needs to put some effort into it.

By the way, guns and swords obtained from the Templars can be sold, perhaps for a good price due to their special meaning.

There are also javelins that were made before and were specially designed to deal with worms, which can also be sold, and the damage that these javelins can do is still a little weak compared to magic.

The Black Gold Knife can be left behind, and this material can be used as one of the wand materials.

With this in mind, Maier came to a small shop.

"This is ......" The shopkeeper was originally dismissive, because neither the temple gun nor Mel's javelin material was too good, and the craftsmanship was of an ordinary standard.

However, after seeing the sign of the temple above, the shopkeeper's face suddenly changed.

"This is the temple's weapon?"

Maier nodded and said, "This part is the standard weapon of the Templar Knight, so their price cannot be measured by ordinary weapons, and the other part you can just look at." ”

The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed slightly.

It couldn't help it, after all, the temple weapons were too significant on the eastern side of the Red Sea, and the mage and the temple had been fighting for hundreds of years, and the hatred between the two broke through the sky.

So naturally, there will be a considerable number of people who are interested in collecting things from the temple.

Because a long time ago, it meant honor.

And now, due to the barrier of the Red Sea, there are very few weapons circulating in the temple, and the price is not cheap, and the special meaning of the temple's weapons is not cheap.
