Capuchin:

The third volume is successfully concluded, and the first part of the story has also come to an end w

In this way, this book is also 50 words, and now about a quarter of it has been written, or it may be a fifth, a sixth, or other ratios.

Why do you say that the first three volumes are classified as "Part One"?

Because the first three volumes are about Haiwen's process from the mayor of Mustang to the earl, and it is also the process of laying the foundation. It is not an exaggeration to say that the first 50 words are all prologues.

From the beginning of the fourth volume, the map will be expanded, and the map will leave Bear Mountain or Mustang Town, and come to the entire Gulf, to the North and South; to many new places such as Wolf City, Wine City, and Witch's Secret Realm.

This means that Haiwen alone is no longer enough to support this story.

So, I officially tell you that I will use pov writing in the fourth volume to describe the group portrait stories of the eight protagonists.The scheduled eight protagonists are as follows:

① Haven? Ambleside, the perspective of Bear Mountain.

② Delaire: Spoilers involved.

③ Fassnut: Spoilers involved.

④Isrit: Southern Perspective

⑤ Raya: Spoilers involved

⑥ Unappeared characters

⑦Available characters

⑧ to be determined

The eight characters have different perspectives and different environments, but the plots between them will be related.This kind of writing technique should be relatively rare in Shuke, and it may bring some reading obstacles to readers in the early stage of reading.But in fact, this style of writing has matured abroad, and the representative work is A Song of Ice and Fire.

The reason I chose this way of writing is because it has two great advantages.First, the pov writing method is suitable for supporting a large scene of a multi-character group drama, allowing readers to understand a thing objectively from various angles; second, it replaces the perspective of God. In each character pov, you can only see What the character sees and thinks, you can understand that each character's pov chapter is a "No. 1" novel, which means a strong sense of picture and sense of substitution.

The author is not talented, so I'm afraid I can't use this new writing method very well, but fortunately, I have already tried this writing method with 100w words in the last book.That book won the fantasy zone newcomer award of the year on another website, which is also an affirmation of my attempt this time.

So I have the confidence to write this book well.In the next year, you will probably be able to witness the birth of the most peculiar work on this website.

Finally, there are some things I want to say to readers:

Rather than spending money to reward, I hope you can actively leave a message.Because the reward is at most tens or hundreds of dollars, which may disappear in a blink of an eye, but the message is always there, and I often take it out to look at it to motivate myself.And the reader's experience is a weathervane and a mirror for the author. Your message can help me make this book better.

But this does not mean that I will modify the plot of the story because of readers' comments. I will fine-tune some things, but the main plot is unshakeable.I am responsible for the story first, and then for the readers.

If it is to cater to the book market, the protagonist will not be a bald hunk, but a certain female clothing boss or a well-known anime character, and then the four princes will become the four comprehensive planes, and readers will I am happy to see the great chaos.

In that case, maybe there will be more readers and more subscriptions, and I will make money and you will have books to read. Everyone seems to be happy.

But the story of the Three Questions of Philosophy no longer exists.The thoughts and souls I entrusted in this book no longer exist; the morality I pursue, the things I reflect, and the characters I love also no longer exist.I think these things are much more important than a little money, which can bring me happiness beyond material life.

I am a layman, so I choose to be happy.

Chapter 1: Haven's loneliness, one

Part Two, Volume Four, Rise of the Baylands.

Chapter 1: Haven's loneliness, one

Dreyer set off today.

The old housekeeper didn't stay long after he was released from prison. Hewen gave him three days to pack his luggage, but he left on the first day.Dreyer told him that if he stays, he will cause trouble for the people of Bear Castle, and it is better to leave early.

Dreyer is exiled.So according to the rules, Haiwen arranged for him two escort soldiers.These two people are farmers who came with Haiwen, and they are very loyal. Haiwen gave them a sum of money, one said it was travel expenses, and the other said it was to ask them to hand it over to Delaire when they arrived, so that the housekeeper would not be killed. Penniless, sleeping on the street.

It is summer now, except for Lujiaoguan, there is a wasteland, and the desert is beyond.To go to the Wine City in Hesse, Dreyer must first go through the Antler Pass, and then go south to the Middle-earth Desert to reach the Valley of Divine Grace.When you reach the valley and continue to walk in, you can reach Hesse deep in the valley, and the wine city is hidden deep in Hesse.

Wine City is an ancient city that existed before the establishment of the Four Kingdoms.Its history and myth are intertwined. Some say it was built by the remnants of the demons, some say it is the site of the last blood emperor, some say it has existed for 8000 years, and some say it is only 100 years old.Under the divergent opinions, no one can tell where the wine city came from.But most people believe that the wine city has existed for more than 1000 years, because there is a thousand-year-old tomb here, where there is the altar of the night god and the iron-blooded whip enshrined by the Frauss family for generations. The coffin of the king of wine and blood.All kinds of ghost stories, poems, novels, and librettos revolve around the wine city.

Wine City is a place full of legends, but Dreyer's destination will not be there - as an exile, he can only live in Hesse Valley, and legally speaking, he cannot live in the city for more than seven days.Hesse is not a rich and prosperous place, it is full of barbaric and chaotic religions; the notorious rotten meat beach is also there, it is a lawless area composed of stilted buildings and swamp huts.This dark place is filled with rancid sour smell and smog all day long, full of all criminals you can think of, and dirty transactions are carried out every day; tobacco from the west, red wine from the wine city, smuggled from various places Salt, cloth, spices and slaves can all be found in the Rotten Flesh; robbers rob thieves, thieves steal prostitutes, and prostitutes poison robbers to death; there are also bloody Colosseums and arenas, in short, it is a good place to lose your life .

Dreyer left early this morning. He didn't notify Haiwen in advance, so Haiwen didn't know that he was gone, and he couldn't send him off for the last time.At the breakfast meeting that day, Haven informed the soldiers about Delaire, saying that he was ruthless and would not cover up any guilty person.The smiling cat applauded loudly, and the slave fighters slapped the table and stomped their feet.People praised him as a wise leader. Hearing these praises, Hai Wen smiled, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

After breakfast he had a great deal of business to attend to.Just like when he took over Mustang Town, Bear Mountain's finances are also a bad debt.The debts owed, the debts owed, and the expenditure and income of each quarter are in a mess.Earl Xiongshan suffered from gout, so he let go of it a long time ago. Wen Kai was good at running the army, but he didn't know anything about accounting.After investigation, Hai Wen found that Wen Kai had handed over all financial matters to a financial official named Sears. This person had a bad reputation among the people and was said to be a corrupt official.If the count asked him to dig a well, he said that he needed to withdraw five hundred gold coins. In fact, digging a well did not cost that much money at all, and [-]% of the gold was embezzled by him.

This kind of person Haiwen will never let go, Haiwen inquired with the people below, saying that he wanted to ask this person for questioning.He said it was a question, but Haiwen was ready to take the financial officer.Xiongshan is short of money now, what should I do when I withdraw money?Then find a rich person to take it!The so-called rebellion in ancient times was actually a process of redistribution of interests. In the past, everyone divided who was the landlord and who was the farmer. In this rebellion, once the cards are shuffled, the previous identities can be changed.Now he doesn't talk about rebellion, but Xiong Shan needs to reshuffle the cards.

However, the people below did not know where this Sears is now. Ramon asked someone to inquire, and only then did he know that Sears had left with his property and family members since the fall of Bear Castle. where.

This guy is not stupid, Haiwen thought to himself, if he stays here, I must make him look good!

However, the money is gone, and there are still landlords and wealthy businessmen. Most of these people have made ill-gotten gains, and it is time to pay back their debts.Haven asked Ramon to give him a list of rich people in Bear Mountain City, and asked him to notify Judge Bear Mountain to come to the castle another day. Haven had important matters to discuss with him.

It was so busy until noon, when it was time to eat.Hai Wen didn't pay much attention, so he asked the kitchen to make some food, and worked in the study while eating.While drinking soup, I heard someone knocking on the door.He shouted "Come in", and saw Gerrita push the door open.The witch stood outside the door and would not come in.The moment the two looked at each other, Hai Wen had a bad feeling, because the witch's eyes did not smile today, but there was a strong sense of sadness and helplessness.

"What happened?" Haven asked.

Gerrit's lips twitched, and she said, "It's... Fasnat, he..." The witch's eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look at Haven's eyes. "His hand is festered and necrotic, and needs to be amputated."

Hai Wen had already been mentally prepared for this matter. Fassnat's right hand was too badly injured, and he might not be able to keep it.well!That young man lacks his right hand, what will he do in the future?

"I see." Haiwen sighed, and he played with the spoon subconsciously, "Cut it off and cut it off, anyway, his right hand can't be kept anyway. You just need to be careful, I believe Fassnut can Get through this."

After he finished speaking, the air fell into dead silence——Gerette stared at the floor, her expression frozen like plaster.Haiwen was frightened by her appearance, and a terrible premonition rose in his heart. He held his breath subconsciously, and asked Gellette, "What's wrong?"

"Ah..." The witch's mouth opened and closed, as if a chicken bone was stuck in her throat, "My lord, no, it's not what you think..."

Haiwen asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Zhe Lite swallowed her saliva, and finally said: "Fasnat... it's not his right hand that festered, it's... his left hand."

With a "bang", the iron spoon in Haiwen's hand fell to the ground, and the sound was extremely ear-piercing.

Author's message:

ps: From this volume onwards, I advise readers to fatten up and not chase after updates.

The reasons are as follows: ①Multi-view pov causes the so-called "cool point" to be dispersed, and the amount of information has doubled several times.Therefore, chasing updates will consume a lot of energy, it is better to read carefully after fattening.

②Each character perspective is considered a big chapter. For example, this chapter "Haiwen's Loneliness" is composed of 1~6, and each section is 2000 words, so each chapter actually has about [-] words. If you follow up If you don't, you can't even finish reading a chapter every day, which will hurt.I split the chapters and posted them in order to ensure full attendance, but I hope readers can wait until the end of each major chapter before reading.

③This volume has basically departed from the traditional web writing method and is closer to physical books, so the rhythm will slow down, but the excitement of the story will increase a lot.Watching the foreshadowing plot for a month will wear down readers' patience, why not come back and watch it once a month

I have written this word count, and I don’t care about the update rate and the data of the book. I just hope that it can be done well. I hope that this book will still remain in your memory after many years.

Thank you.

Haven's Solitude, II

Haven's Solitude, II

Haven asked: "Does this mean that Fasnat can't keep both hands?"

The witch nodded silently.

"Why?" Haiwen stared, "It's not just...is his right hand injured? Why is there something wrong with his left hand? I gave you medical alcohol, and you and Laya took turns looking after him, right?"

Gerette looked like she was about to cry, "Yeah! Why? Why? I did everything I was supposed to do, but his hand just broke, and he started to have a fever. I argued with Raya for a while. In the evening, it turned out that we had no way to save his life except amputating his limbs... I..." Gerrit cried out like a child, "My lord, I'm so useless!" She covered her face cry bitterly.

"You...it's not your fault." He suppressed all the emotions in his heart, "Let me think about it, let me think about it..." Haiwen stood up and wandered around the room.He straightened the floor, but the handsome and cold face of the young man appeared in front of his eyes.

Fassnut, a nearly perfect teenage hero.He is righteous, kind, brave, firm, wise, handsome, ruthless, and he has a good kung fu that is not lost to the smiling ranger.He can walk through Yang with a hundred steps, he can slash fierce monsters with a sword, and the most important thing is that he is only a little over 16 years old this year.He is one year younger than Islet and one year older than Hyacinth, he is a child anyway.

He was supposed to have a bright future, but without his two arms, what future is there to talk about?He is a samurai, and if a samurai loses his hands, isn't he a cripple?

The more Haiwen thought about it, the more his heart ached, when he heard Gerrit sobbing.He realized he had to do something, he was the leader of these people, he couldn't be lost.

"Gerette, does Fasnat know about this now?"

Gerrit suppressed her sobs and said in a nasal voice: "Not yet, I don't know how to tell him."

I don't know how to speak. "But he has to know..." Haven murmured.

"Laya was afraid that he would get emotional because of this, and asked me to use poison to anesthetize him, and then perform a forced operation, but this..."

"No." Haven couldn't imagine what it would be like for Fasnat to wake up and see himself with nothing in his sleeves.He will go crazy.

Haiwen looked at the resourceful witch, and wanted to ask her: Is there really no other way?But when their eyes met, Hai Wen knew that the forest witch was at the end of her skills.It is useless to ask again.

"Let me talk to him."

"My lord, you..." Zhe Lita hesitated to speak.

This is a drudgery, a drudgery worse than that of a mourner.But there must be someone to do the errands. Hai Wen is the leader, and the leader should take on heavy responsibilities that others cannot.

"I have to say it." Haiwen said solemnly, "Gerette, tell Laya to come over, and then let's go together."

"Yes, my lord." She saluted solemnly, turned and left.

Haven stayed in the house by himself, waiting for Laya to arrive.The clock was ticking, and the soup was congealed, and he counted the time silently, hoping that Laya would come more slowly.
