This is the ninth art

Chapter 128 Cut the body with the sword, and the soul with the heart!

Since it is a game script, there is no such thing as a single protagonist.

When Zhao Min turned to the second page, it was the background story of each profession when it appeared, each with a concise introduction.

Writer's notes state that each character will be integrated into the main plot by the end and will develop in the same way.

So Zhao Min only chose one of the characters to substitute.

When he glanced at the first [Ghost Swordsman], his pupils shrank suddenly.

The ghost swordsman was infected with the plague when he was young, and his left hand was infected with the uncontrollable power of ghosts and gods, and his mind was eroded by ghosts and gods.

When he came back to his senses, his parents, and even the whole village, were killed by his ghostly hands.

Therefore, this incident became a psychological shadow that accompanied him throughout his life.

"I...Damn? This, what is this setting..." The thunderous blow at the opening made Zhao Min speechless for a long time.

He has read the beginnings of many fantasy novels, such as those born in slums, some downcast nobles, and exiled princes.

But he has never seen a blood relative at the beginning...

And even if it is the famous top-notch hot-blooded manga "Naruto" in the neighboring island country, Uchiha Itachi still has a younger brother.

Come to you and kill the whole village, I am the only blood in this village!
Uchiha Itachi saw this unfolding, and he might have to shout three times, 'Back!retreat!retreat! '

However, due to the erosion of consciousness and the fact that the protagonist is young and uncontrollable.

This way of appearance did not make Zhao Min immediately hate the protagonist, especially when the adult ghost swordsman first appeared on the stage, it clearly described the ghost swordsman waking up in a sweaty nightmare, hissing in pain .

It can be felt that the nightmare has never faded away.

At this moment, Zhao Min began to sympathize with this poor guy instead.

Such a tragedy happened, and the protagonist didn't want to see it. He slaughtered the whole village unconsciously. The people closest to him were gone, and the person who protected him from the wind and rain was gone. Those painful scenes kept repeating The words emerged in his mind, and he was terrified all day long.

At this point in the story, it stands to reason that the protagonist should start a revenge plan like all kingly and passionate protagonists.

Investigate the source of the plague and find out the truth. No matter how powerful the opponent is, he must kill him at all costs.

But this ghost swordsman didn't, he lived like a salted fish without any dreams.

When traveling around the world, a kind mage helped him make a lock to restrain the ghost hand, so that he would not hurt the innocent.

He carried a rusty iron sword dug out from the garbage dump, and put it on his shoulder every day, pretending that he was strong, and started his idle career.

And it was an elf girl named Celia who changed the life of this ghost swordsman.

One day when the ghost swordsman came to the small town of Alvin, he saw a photo of a girl in a white and green robe on the bulletin board in the town, and the bulletin marked a reward.As long as the girl can be rescued in the depths of Lorraine Forest, the adventurer will be paid 100 gold coins.

100 gold coins are enough for his living expenses for a year.

Therefore, the ghost swordsman who was forced to make a living tore up the reward list with his own hands, and went to the depths of Lorraine alone.

"Wait... Celia?" Zhao Min always felt that the name looked familiar.

He turned to the first page again and looked at the names of the apostles.

On the last line, he saw a line of description.

"Almighty Celia"

"????"

Such an awesome apostle needs a worthless adventurer to save him?

With some curiosity, Zhao Min continued to look down.

When Celia first appeared on the scene, she seemed really powerless.

A mere apostle was actually trapped by a weak creature like a goblin.

Fortunately, the ghost swordsman arrived in time, lifted the seal of the ghost hand, and swung the rusty broadsword buzzingly.

Defeat the goblins and save Celia.

At this point, the unfolding of the story seems not as amazing as when the world view was depicted at the beginning, and it belongs to the old-fashioned hero saving the beauty.

But there is still a question that has been bothering Zhao Min.

Why is the apostle Celia trapped in this kind of place?
The ghost hand seems to have a very strong explosive potential, will it have other effects?

And, the most critical question lingering in his mind, how the weak human beings should revenge the apostles.

In addition, the plot structure of this manuscript is also very smooth and silky, and the rhetoric is embellished, which is fascinating.

Zhao Min couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and then scrolled down.

In this manuscript of only seven or eight pages, he saw the truth about the mutation of the animals in the Lorraine forest.

The animals in the forest originally lived peacefully with humans, but one day later, a monstrous fire broke out deep in the forest.

Since then, the animals in the forest have become extremely violent, killing anyone they see.

Celia went to the depths of the forest alone to investigate the reason, also because she noticed a trace of abnormality.

This little elf girl who has lost her memory has a heart that loves the world.

She can't bear to see the animals in the forest suffer, and she no longer wants to see humans lose their lives by stepping into the forest.

Among the information she collected through painstaking efforts.

Celia discovered that the emergence of this mutation phenomenon began with the first known "transfer" event in the continent of Arad, the transfer event of the apostle Shirok.

Affected by the transferred power, many of Arad's creatures mutated.

At this time, the ghost swordsman learned that the forest mutation phenomenon was caused by the chaos created by the apostles.

The word apostle completely hurt his eyes.

The painful memory that I deliberately wanted to forget was slowly brought back again.

Behind him, there are piles of corpses.

Hands stained with blood and sin.

Harmonious families are destroyed.

Men, women and children in the whole village fell in a pool of blood "created" by him.

He thought that as long as he escaped from that village by himself.

Run far away, one day, everything will be as if it never happened.

He will have a happy family again, and everyone around him will laugh and laugh.

But now, he finally realized.

Nothing happened.

His memories are always chasing him.

On this continent that was supposed to be full of vitality, there is now a mess created by the apostles floating everywhere.

He can never escape from it all, unless——

Destroy all the apostles!Complete the redemption of self!

After the purpose of the story is clear.

Zhao Min turned his hands faster and faster, and his breathing also involuntarily increased.

Following the author's perspective, he also follows the protagonist's desperate desire for redemption.

Witness the ghost swordsman defeating Goblin Kailei, who controls thunder and lightning in the depths of the dark jungle.

Beyond Graka, half ice and half flame.

Defeated the ruler of the Lorraine Forest, the tauren Utaza.

The pot merchant who only cares about money, Linus the blacksmith who is enthusiastic and funny, and many residents living on the defense line of Eldar.

Every character on the stage is vivid and vivid on paper.

The strength of the ghost swordsman has also continued to grow stronger through experience.

Comprehend one technique after another.

Regrettably, the ghost swordsman found gray crystals in Graka.Socia believes that through this, the truth about the destruction of the Elven Holy Land can be found.

And not long after, with the help of Ghost Swordsman, Norton obtained and checked the memories of the zombies in the Dark Thunder Ruins, and found an amazing conclusion: these zombies were transformed from the missing elves after the Grand Forest fire!
Sinda reported the information to the Principality of Belmar, but the Delos Empire sent people to take the information, so far, all previous efforts have been wasted.

Although Gran's Forest's clues were broken, it just so happened that the energy of the Sky City's magic circle weakened at this time, allowing Ghost Swordsman and Celia to enter the Sky City and retrace the trail left by the apostles.

After defeating the Puppeteer, Golem, Destroyer and other minions, Ghost Swordsman successfully found and defeated the Lord of the City of Light, Segerhardt.

But it turned out that Segerhardt couldn't die at all.Celia explained that Seghardt was created by the apostle Bakar, the Dragon King.

So he linked his existence with Bakal's loyalty.

As long as he doesn't know the news of Bakal's death, he can be immortal.

Fortunately, Kakun's father, Karas, knew Bakar. Before his death, Bakar gave his last words to Karas, and Kakun left them to Kakun. Gerhardt finally knew that Bakal was dead, so he ascended to Void.

The connection between the city of the sky and the heavens is finally opened, but it will take some time to repair the large magic circle that allows the residents of the two places to unblock the owner.

Therefore, Ghost Swordsman and Celia took a rest in Hutton Mar, the main city of the continent of Arad.

Here, Ghost Swordsman made many friends again.

Kelly, a mysterious girl from heaven, possesses strong spear skills and the ability to help people strengthen their weapons.

Hutton Marr's living map, Master Fengquanliu Fengzheng, once guided ghost swordsmen to find the way to the sky city.

Grandma Oran who sells pets in the back street, Goblin merchant Sherlock.

Kakun who has a crush on Celia.

And, a blind old man who called himself GSD, he opened a ghost sword dojo on the corner of Hutton Mar.

After a Ghost Swordsman mission to help GSD find lost items was completed, he agreed to teach Ghost Swordsmanship and Ghost Swordsman, guiding him to complete the job change.

While watching, Zhao Min blended into the plot.

He was still wondering what the purpose of this blind old man was.

Until the old man's next line burst out.

"The knife cuts the body, the heart cuts the soul!"

Fog grass!

Zhao Min couldn't help but widen his eyes.

What a handsome line!
This old man has something!
Zhao Min couldn't wait to turn the page again, but there was a scene that made his cardiopulmonary arrest.

"Gone???"

"Damn!! How did this story end here? Isn't this fatal..." Zhao Min immediately looked up at Ling Tianhang, with an eager look in his eyes: "Brother Hang, you still have extra manuscripts on hand. ? Let me see the follow-up!"

"Didn't you say that this manuscript is not good?" Ling Tianhang looked at his posture and knew that this story deeply attracted Zhao Min.

Although he hasn't read the complete game script, even the editor-in-chief of China's largest Magic Dragon Fantasy Publishing House can be attracted by the story, which shows that Mr. Chu has a good control over the game script.

"This... I, this novel is different... It's not the same as anything I've read before. I can't explain why, unless you let me read it carefully." Zhao Min's Adam's apple twitched, and brought With a bit of uncertainty: "This manuscript was written by you, Mr. Chu alone? Is there no trace of your team's processing?"

"No..." Ling Tianhang shook his head, telling the truth.

"Hiss..." Zhao Min firmly filled his lungs with air.

"So vivid?" Ling Tianhang asked again.

"I can only say that as long as the story doesn't collapse, this is definitely a fantasy masterpiece!" Zhao Min forcefully described: "The story connection of this game script is perfect! And the power system is very clear, every promotion of the protagonist It can make me feel really cool, and the names and substantive effects of those skills also make me want to enter the game to experience the experience.”

"More importantly, the attractiveness of this game script has always existed and has never weakened! The author's grasp of the macro situation is very precise, and the foreshadowing has been laid many times in the article."

The more Zhao Min talked, the more excited he became, and he didn't even realize that he was spitting: "The transfer of the apostle Shirok involved the conspiracy of the human empire. Transferring the apostles to other planes, there is another hidden story behind the human empire! This is very attractive to me, unlike other fantasy novels, the human race is almost only beaten."

"And what is the existence of the heaven above Sky City? Judging from the mention in the manuscript, it is a world without swords and magic, and it is a world that advocates a high-tech civilization. I have to say that the author only used a few paragraphs , It aroused my curiosity about the civilization of the heavens. I have been thinking, what will the collision of high-tech civilization and magic be like? Fantasy has never had such a similar setting!"

"Also, Bakar, the Explosive Dragon King who has ruled the heavens for so long, is also one of the twelve apostles, but it is briefly mentioned in the text that he is dead. Who killed him? Something as powerful as the apostle was killed so easily?"

"As an apostle, why does Celia look like a harmless girl now? How far will the adventurer ghost swordsman grow? There are four professions in the job transfer mentioned in the article, but the author has not yet It also makes me very curious to give the details of the occupation."

"and also……"

Zhao Minyang talked eloquently for 10 minutes, his mouth was dry.

To be honest, he hadn't read such a logical and self-consistent manuscript for a long time.

Not only is the logic self-consistent, but it also has a huge and complete worldview!
In addition, every character, even an insignificant supporting role, has its own vivid personality and will have interesting interactions with the protagonist.

There are too many places to attract yourself!

These were all written by one person, without traces of team processing.

and.

This person is actually a leader in the game industry who has been famous recently in the game field, Chu Jun.

Even if the game is done well.

How the hell do you write such a good book? ? ?

This is what surprised Zhao Min the most.

"Mr. Chu is simply a talent! I have to admire! I can only say that if the core of this game follows the plot line, it will definitely be a very good game!" Zhao Min promised , and then secretly glanced at the remaining manuscripts in Ling Tianhang's bag with a corner exposed.

I completely forgot how I was when I kept saying 'don't watch, don't watch' just now.

"Don't think about it... Our company has regulations, and it involves no spoilers when it comes to game secrets. I can show you a little, because we have been friends for 20 years." Ling Tianhang immediately covered the official document vigilantly Bag.

"Is our 20 years of friendship only worth a few pages of manuscript..." Zhao Min swallowed, regretting it already in his heart.

If I had known earlier, I would not have praised this manuscript!
belittle!

Put it down to death!

Then he tricked Ling Tianhang into producing the rest of the manuscript with the aggressive method, to prove the strength of President Chu.

This makes everyone happy.

It had been a long time since he was so tempted by a manuscript.

He can't wait to see what happens next!

Alas, what a pity.

At this moment, Ling Tianhang's cell phone rang suddenly.

After answering the call, I found out that it was Mr. Chu calling.

Ling Tianhang immediately greeted him respectfully.

Chu Jun called this time because he had just woken up, and asked about the situation of the proposal by the way.

Zhao Min kept giving Ling Tianhang winks frantically.

Only then did Ling Tianhang bite the bullet and speak.

Tell Chu Jun what happened just now.

Immediately, he handed the phone to Zhao Min.

"Hello, Mr. Chu, I'm sorry to bother you, but I still can't help but want to say that this manuscript of yours is the best fantasy novel I've read in recent years!" Zhao Min hurriedly opened his mouth, afraid of speaking slowly Will hang up.

"Hello." Chu Jun was sleeping in a daze, before he realized what was going on, he was praised when he came up.

"Mr. Chu, it's like this. I don't know if you have the intention to write the full version of this manuscript... no, no, there is no need for a full version! You can write a volume first! Then publish it in our Magic Dragon Publishing House, and we will write it for you." You are responsible for the subsequent publication of the novel, do you think it is okay?" Zhao Min thought of a way.

Although he wants to see the follow-up content.

But I also know that this involves the commercial secrets of a game.

He really doesn't have the cheek to ask people directly.

But publishing is different!
After signing a contract with the other party, isn't it a matter of course to read the other party's manuscript!
For the first time, Zhao Min realized that the privilege of being an editor and being able to read manuscripts is so blissful!

Although he was still complaining to Ling Tianhang half an hour ago that he was about to throw up reading the manuscript.

However, the other end of the phone soon poured cold water on him.

"Writing novels... can't make money?" Chu Jun hesitated.

"Uh……"

In a word, Zhao Min was stopped.

The fantasy market has indeed been sluggish in recent years.

Last year's best-selling fantasy author only sold [-] copies.

A volume is priced at 49 yuan, which is only 500 million here, and after deducting the royalties and the publisher's share, the income goes to the author.

like……

A little bit less?
At least for Junyue, a booming game company whose monthly profit is even approaching over [-] million yuan.

Really not much money.

"However, fame can also radiate to the game industry." Zhao Min hurriedly remedied with a smile: "As one of the eight major arts, novel culture, once out of the circle, fame can feed back the game market. Take this manuscript from Mr. Chu It’s hard to make a name for yourself in the fantasy novel market.”

On this point, Zhao Min did not lie.

Although the current physical book industry is sluggish, there are still a lot of pirated copies of works that are really out of the circle.

These are real names.

He has been the editor-in-chief for so many years, and he can attract content that he can't wait to read.

Definitely the best of the best!
Chu Jun pondered for a while, and felt that what Zhao Min said was somewhat reasonable.

The income from writing novels is secondary.

If it can open up a certain reputation in the novel world.

It is also good for your own game promotion.

After thinking about it, Mr. Chu agreed to Zhao Min's request.

"It's really great! Thank you very much for trusting us, Dragon Fantasy Publishing House! We will definitely recommend your work as a recommended book to all fantasy readers!" Zhao Min stood up from his seat excitedly upon hearing this , almost turned the wine table over.

It caused the diners on the side to look sideways.

"By the way, during this time, Mr. Chu, please come up with a pen name first. With a pen name, readers can get to know you better." Zhao Min added.

"Pen name?" Chu Jun really didn't think about this question.

After thinking about it, he said.

"Just use your real name."

Zhao Min smiled awkwardly: "As the editor-in-chief, I still suggest that you choose a name so that you can maximize your profits."

"If a person is brilliant in different fields, people will only pay attention to what he is best at. Da Vinci, who painted the "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper", is usually regarded as a master of painting , but he will also forget that he is still the ancestor of modern anatomy, and he is an all-rounder in the research of astronomy, physics, machinery, architecture, etc. "

"To put it simply, your fame will compete with yourself. The light in the game field will obscure others."

"But having a pseudonym is different. You are a well-known 'Holy Lord' in the game industry, but in the field of novel culture, you are another person. Your book can nourish each other with games. When introducing 'Holy Lord', People will mention your game. When introducing the pseudonym of the novel, your work will be mentioned. There will not be a situation where you mention the most famous game when introducing you, so that the novel you wrote is ignored."

After hearing what he said, Ling Tianhang couldn't help giving Zhao Min a thumbs up.

It is true that cultural people are different when they speak, and what they say is quite reasonable.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Jun also agreed with Zhao Min's statement.

The game derivative culture will also be counted by the system as the progress of the main game. Although the specific bonus is not clear, it will not be too little.

The game live streaming industry driven by Hearthstone.

Luo Tianyi, as an electronic virtual singer, drove the virtual anchor industry after her advent.

Derivatives such as script killing and secret room escape that were born from Witch's House.

As a derivative of the game, these have added a lot of progress bars to him.

If you can create derivative peripherals yourself, you may be able to accumulate experience for the main mission more quickly.

The two sides reached the most basic verbal signing agreement. Zhao Min said that he would find time as soon as possible in the near future, and personally bring the contract to come to talk with Chu Jun about the signing of the novel.

And with a cheeky face, he asked Mr. Chu if he could show him the remaining manuscripts that had been written.

Chu Jun thought for a moment, then readily agreed.

Although the framework and settings of the game proposal are well done, due to the huge plot line of DNF, he has only written the first volume so far.

That is, the plot line until the protagonists from all walks of life complete their job transfers.

The next awakening, the second awakening, the third awakening, and the battle between various adventurers and the apostles, the intrigue of the empire, the mutual use of humans and the apostles, these most exciting places, he has not mentioned in the plan.

Even if Zhao Min really wanted to kidnap his manuscript, it wouldn't work.

In addition, Ling Tianhang made a guarantee in the middle, telling him that this is a very good friend he has known for more than 20 years.

Chu Jun nodded in agreement.

Zhao Min, who had just hung up the phone, took Ling Tianhang's manuscript overjoyed and got up immediately.

"Hey, I haven't finished drinking yet!"

"Drink a fart! Drinking with you is not as interesting as reading manuscripts, goodbye!" Zhao Min disappeared into the tavern in a flash, so fast that Ling Tianhang couldn't catch up.

When he got home, Zhao Min's wife had just served hot meals and dishes, and asked him to wash his hands and eat.

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Min washed his hands, he washed his hands.

But he didn't mean to go to the dining table, but walked into the study.

The wife felt surprised and looked over on her heels.

I saw my husband, sitting with his back straight, exhaled a few breaths.

Take out a paper towel and wipe off any water stains on your hands.

Then he carefully took out a manuscript from the briefcase, and placed it neatly on the desk.

That devout look was even more serious than when he proposed to himself.

The wife suddenly became unhappy, and asked with a straight face.

"Are you still eating?"

"Go, go, don't bother me."

"You talk to me like this now, don't you? When you were chasing me back then, you shouted one baby at a time. Now that you're an old couple, isn't the sense of ceremony important?" The wife snorted.

Zhao Min thought about it.

said again.

"Go, go, don't bother me to read my precious manuscript."

(End of this chapter)
