Chapter 129: Baggins' Shock (Asking for Subscriptions and Rewards)
"If Professor McGonagall heard this, she would be very sad, hehe~"
Jim Baggins put his cane aside and chuckled with his huge fat nose.
As the manager of Gringotts in England, a middle-aged goblin, Baggins knows a thing or two about the famous wizards.
Minerva McGonagall is the most famous female wizard in England, and she is also a high-quality client of Gringotts. Baggins knew Professor McGonagall's character very well.
"This is the outline of the custom article. You take a look at it first. ”
Arthur shook his head at Baggins' teasing, and instead of responding to it, he pulled out a thin manuscript from his shoulder bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Baggins.
"What a surprise to me, I thought that in such a short time, you just had a little inspiration, but I didn't expect the outline to be written."
Baggins held the manuscript in his hand, and after a cursory flip through it, he found that Arthur's outline was perfected to the extreme.
When it comes to the writing industry, Baggins is a layman. But now that he has become a shareholder of Knights of the Round Table, he has also made up for some of his writing knowledge in the past two months.
Looking at the content in the manuscript, the world view setting, character setting, character biography, main plot, side plot, etc.
Baggins had to admire Arthur's professionalism and talent.
"The Lord of the Rings... Fairy Bilbo Baggins left the Shire during his 111th birthday party......"
"In order to fulfill his promise to the wizard Gandalf, the elf Frodo embarks on an adventure with three of his friends..."
Jim Baggins wanted to go through the outline in general terms, but as he read it, he was fascinated by this fantasy adventure.
The male protagonist Frodo lives in a small village called Shire, and in order to fulfill the agreement, he braves the hardships and dangers to go to the elven kingdom of Rivendell with his companions......
After reading the entire outline, Baggins' shriveled and cloudy eyes suddenly had the urge to cry wildly.
The story of the warrior defeating the demon king, in the wizarding world, most of them are with wizards as the protagonists.
And Arthur's outline not only meets their goblin requirements, making one goblin the protagonist, but also arranging three goblins to become supporting characters, and they all depict their glorious side, not the kind of characters that run the trick and add for the sake of the plot.
Although it is only an outline, Baggins has already seen the vivid characters of the goblin quartet and their selfless and fearless spirit.
Although this is different from the real goblin. But the goblins just want to whitewash them and win the battle of public opinion with the wizards. Arthur's handling was just right.
"It's amazing! This is one of the most wonderful I've ever seen, not one of them! In my personal name, I will definitely make your outline pass the high-level review. ”
Baggins reluctantly placed the manuscripts on the table, and these manuscripts, which were condensed with ordinary rush papyrus and pencil, were more valuable to him than gold coins and precious stones.
He was afraid that he would accidentally damage the manuscript.
"Hehe, I'm relieved if you're satisfied. This is just the first one. If it becomes a hit, I will continue to write about it. ”
Seeing this, Arthur also understood that the goblin version of "The Lord of the Rings" had been approved by Baggins. He smiled and began to throw the bait.
"The Lord of the Rings" is the most famous full-length fantasy in Arthur's previous life, and has been rated as "the most important book in 2,000 years". Before Arthur traveled to the world of Harry Potter, it had been translated into more than sixty languages and spawned into illustrations, music, films, TV series, radio dramas, and games.
Such a famous book is known as the cultural imprint of an era, and it is well deserved.
Even J.K. Rowling says that I started reading The Lord of the Rings when I was 14 years old. Tolkien has new languages and myths in his work that I don't have in my magical world.
A time and space comparable to any other mythological system, a civilization that is close to history, a creation myth of the English nation itself.
The Lord of the Rings is the ultimate adventure, the ultimate showdown between good and evil, the ultimate chronicle. There is always an infinite number of imitators, but it has never been surpassed.
This is The Lord of the Rings! A masterpiece praised by major media and readers.
The Lord of the Rings is divided into "The Fellowship of the Ring", "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King".
Arthur just acted as a copyist as usual, and at the same time changed the hobbits in the Lord of the Rings to goblins. Copy the outline of the first Fellowship of the Ring.
"And a follow-up?"
Baggins looked incredulous when he heard this. In his mind, the outline of the Lord of the Rings in front of him was really written.
He has three times more content than Arthur's first Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
There was actually a follow-up series, and Baggins suspected for the first time that Arthur was boasting and exaggerating. But looking at Arthur's confident appearance, the suspicion in his heart slowly dissipated.
"yes, you wouldn't have read the outline of the last volume carefully, would you?"
"Uh... The content is so wonderful that it has already shocked me. My final parting plot is over. ”
Baggins shook his head in embarrassment. His pale face was flushed with blood, and he was too excited at this time.
"Mr. Pendragon, you are the most gifted writer I have ever seen in a hundred years. Your future will be bright and immeasurable. ”
In order to ease his embarrassment, Baggins once again praised Arthur sincerely.
"I don't have such big dreams, I just want to make money. Take this outline back. I don't think your companions can really feel how right it is to ask me to write a custom essay just by dictating it. ”
Arthur just smiled at Baggins' approval, picked up the hot milk that Baggins had ordered for him earlier, and took a small sip.
"I'll take it back? So what do you do? I'm going back for a month! ”
"I conceived this, do you think I can't write it without an outline?"
Faced with Baggins' doubts, Arthur smiled. At this time, the Gringotts manager in the business world was like a newcomer who didn't know anything in Arthur's eyes.
"Uh, I'm sorry. It's that I'm so excited. ”
Baggins lifted the black tea in front of him and took a sip. I secretly scolded myself for seeing all the big scenes, why are you so reckless here.
"I'll give this manuscript to the patriarch to see. I'm sure he'll love it too. ”
Baggins carefully picked up the manuscript on the table, put it into his robe like a treasure, and then pulled out a piece of detail and handed it to Arthur.
"Here's a breakdown of the Knights of the Round Table's sales, revenue, profits, and your dividends and manuscript fees for the two months, you take a look, if there are no problems. I'll keep this money in your vault. ”
