Chapter 306: But Lady Mina gave too much
Why did you, a cactus, go to the rainy and damp ghost world?
Every time faced with this question, Shaga gives the same answer.
"In order to follow Mr. Matthews, learn to write under him."
Lying is an essential skill for writers, and it must be opened to the mouth.
The truth is, for the sake of high subsidies.
Ms. Mina, or Ms. Jyoti, offered a very high salary to recruit an accompanying assistant for five years. The assistant is responsible for organizing books on a daily basis, and is required to be able to write and read, have a flexible brain, and be diligent with hands and feet.
The total remuneration for five years is enough to buy a decent house in a big city like Yaocheng.
SaGa loves money, and the more the merrier.
The feeling of extreme material abundance makes it yearn for it very much.
Originally, this kind of job was not available to SaGa. In Shacheng, there are not thousands of people who meet this condition, but also hundreds.
However, the employer, Ms. Mina, required that it be a cactus on the back of the box.
Later, Saga learned that this was to be kept secret for Mr. Matthews. That's why Ms. Mina only looks for the pure natives of Sand City, that is, the cactus with a back box.
Sha Jia went to learn many words, including his own name Sha Jia, the name of the city Sha Cheng, Yao ...... And, of course, the most important Yaoshen.
It writes crookedly, but eventually gets the job. In terms of other requirements, it is definitely nimble in the cactus.
Got the job, but Saga felt empty.
I don't really know how to write, and I will definitely be exposed in five years.
What to do?
Saga could only pray silently in his heart, Lord Yaoshen, please bless me, get enough money and be dismissed.
When it learns that its destination is the Ghost Realm, Shaga is in a hurry.
Isn't going to that kind of place to a cactus a way of death?
I heard that the ghost world is always rainy and rainy, full of puddles and mud pools, and the humid air is seeping water, and the sun is not visible all year round. In the eyes of the cacti, it is an extremely dangerous hell.
Saga said he couldn't go.
Matthews told it, "Don't worry, I know you can't touch too much water, you need light and warmth. So this time we brought a steam stove and plenty of black black mud, so we didn't have to worry about water and cold. ”
"Also, after we passed, the place where we settled was not in the Ghost Realm, but in the Pillar Mountain. It was dry and sunny, and there were plague beasts that could cause drought...... So these aren't the problems. ”
Saga still stiffened his head and said that he couldn't go.
Matthews smiled and said, "You're a good fit to be my assistant." I was worried that the cactus clan was too wooden and honest, and it seems that there are also flexible and bold brains like you. ”
Only then did Saga realize that he couldn't write, and he was seen through from the beginning.
"Of course, I respect your choice."
The writer in brass armor said slowly, "But this may be a good opportunity for you." ”
"Do you know why there are heroes and prophets?"
Sha Jia replied, "Because of the gift of the god Yao." ”
"Yes, the god Yao sent down grace to spread the name of prophets and heroes in all directions. But not everyone has this qualification, heroes are heroes because they do things that others can't. ”
"The courage to go to the ghost realm is something that most of your people don't have. Like most people, they would not go to live in a backward and poor kingdom of God, as my wife and I did. ”
"When everyone is not optimistic, you have achieved what is impossible in the eyes of ordinary people, and this is the road to becoming a hero."
Matthews put his hands behind his back and said, "We Yao people conquer the earth, step into the sea, enter the desert, explore the underground, and I believe we will fly into the sky." That's what we're doing, not because it's easy, but because we're going to do things that people can't. ”
"This means that we are the Yao clan, and we are the ones who make the impossible possible, which is our nature, and our courage and talent lie."
"You have to think about whether this will be your only chance in this life, not all young people have the right to make that choice."
Saga chooses to give up the only chance in his life.
Matthews was silenced by it, and the scene fell into embarrassment for a while.
Ms. Mina raised her index finger: "I'll add another box of gems, enough for you to buy a cottage with a garden by the river in Saniro." ”
Shaga immediately patted his chest and said, "Mr. Matthews, Ms. Mina, Saga is definitely your most loyal and reliable assistant. Neither the rain nor the flames will stop Shaga from following in your footsteps! ”
……
Money is the driving force of SaGa.
Lady Mina would settle her salary once a week, and when she had an extra pearl or a piece of gold, Saga could feel the satisfaction.
It doesn't like to spend money, but it especially likes to make money.
As for work, Saga had no interest in writing, at least initially. Saga is more of a life assistant to Matthews, and all the chores are contracted by him.
Hard work, of course, is hard work.
But Ms. Mina gave too much.
With those sparkling gems in his hand, Saga grew stronger and harder as he dried.
The Matthews couple's home was built on a flat area of Pillar Mountain, and the foundation of the house was laid by the mortuary. They used great engineering skills to build the stone and clay into the main body of the house, which is an elegant and exquisite three-story castle.
The windows of the castle are all made of stained glass brought from Sand City, which is said to have been made by the craftsmen of the Crystal City of the Bright City, and each piece is expensive to pay off, and it is very striking in the sun.
The mansion is surrounded by a large wooded area and a surprisingly large garden with arches lined with boulevards, all made of bamboo, light and close to the forest.
Saga works in such an environment.
All it has to do every day is to stay by Mr. Matthews' side and make sure it's on call. As for Ms. Mina, she spends most of her time in the garden, which is full of all kinds of roses, and she loves to grow flowers.
One day, Matthews collapsed in his chair irritably and said, "Sagar, the pen is for you, you will write!" ”
"Huh?"
The cactus assistant was stunned: "But sir, I don't know anything." ”
"It's okay, it's not always an advantage."
At Matthews' whim, Saga picked up a quill and dipped it in ink to write the first line of the story on paper.
It felt like it would never forget that sentence for the rest of its life.
- The teacher tells Saga that the gods are calling you. Go, ShaG, to the distant and evil Black Abyss, which will be your shining place.
Why this sentence was written, it is no longer remembered.
But what Saga remembers more clearly was that when he saw this sentence on paper, it had a dreamlike feeling, as if he had unfolded another life.
In the days that followed, Saga officially became Matthews' writing assistant. It does things such as reading the manuscript, giving comments, and organizing the manuscript, and bringing out the required reference books for verification.
The castle displays almost all the important books of the Yao people, covering an entire wall.
In this year, Matthews opened a new work, The Book of the Grave. The book tells the story of a grave that is very different from what everyone thinks, and for the first time it is a formal description of spell casting and combat.
】
Compared to its predecessor, The Crystal Empire, Book of the Grave is a transformation, creating a new way of writing that makes everyone curse Matthews a little less.
Three years after the publication of The Book of the Grave, a thin book called The Temple Samurai circulated in Sand City.
The book describes a mysterious high-level profession [Temple Warrior], which is a powerful transcendent who can only be transformed into a divine being inspired and summoned by the god Yao.
The Templars exist to defend the faith and majesty of the gods, and to eradicate all kinds of monsters, even enough to fight against the apostles and evil gods.
Most of the time, they live like ordinary people, can cook, drink, and have many worries.
Only when the most difficult enemies can they be called to reach the temple from all directions, don the armor bestowed by the gods, and join the battle in the form of temple warriors.
As soon as this book appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.
Sha Jia, the mysterious author of "Temple Warrior", has also become the object of discussion among the Yao people. All you know is that Saga is a cactus with a back box, but it has been missing for several years.
It is said to have gone to the ghost realm.
This statement has aroused many people's doubts.
The ghost world is damp and rainy, and the perennial black fog is overwhelming, and it is like a torture prison for the cactus in the back box, who would go to that kind of place?
Saga can't write, as is well known among cacti.
Many believe that the author of this book is likely to have known the temple warriors, or were eyewitnesses to the battle. That's why he was able to write about the massive battle scenes, as well as the powerful and detailed situation of the Temple Warriors, so realistically.
Because that's true!
Quite a few people even asked Mayor Slemod for this.
The apostle had only one reply.
"No comment."
The Templar Warrior enters Yao City and Yancheng from Sand City, setting off a new storm in the Yao world, and everyone is curious about the Templar Warrior and excited about this mysterious profession.
……
Displayed on the simulator.
[Saga wrote The Templar Warriors.] 】
[The Yao clan has developed a fanatical worship for you because of "Temple Warrior", and their faith has been greatly improved. 】
["Templar" has given rise to a new trend of thought that has never been seen before, creating a whole new genre of pop culture. 】
This frenzied worship caused the faith value to increase in the upper right corner to 520,000, even exceeding the current population limit of the Yao tribe.
Lu Yao was a little dazed.
What's going on with this book?
