Chapter 53 Manuscripts and Writers
In view of Ningzhe's own privileges at Angel's Gift, when he came to the tavern directly owned by Chenxi Winery, the bartender Charles immediately presented him with valuable aged wine.
When she saw the bottle of Chenxi Winery's fine wine, Wendy could hardly move her eyes away.
But Ningzhe was honest, maybe because he didn't like drinking very much, so he only had one bottle and even gave half of it to Wendy.
Faced with this situation, Wendy naturally accepted it with a smile.
We had just experienced the dragon disaster, and there didn't seem to be many people drinking in the tavern. Most people took it upon themselves to maintain the square and repair the church. It seemed that the Dragon of the East Wind incident had changed them a lot.
Ningzhe was quite happy with this situation.
The people of Mondstadt are just too lazy. They have to leave some trivial things to the knights for help. I hope they can change after this incident.
When she got excited about drinking, Wendy suddenly summoned a silver-white harp from her hand and hummed an epic poem.
Ningzhe listened quietly to one story after another, which was also a kind of enjoyment for him now.
When the old man wakes up, he will have to embark on a new journey...and now, let him feel the atmosphere of this free city again.
...
The next day, the Liyue envoy was stationed.
After returning from the angel's gift, Ningzhe fell asleep and didn't notice that he was being followed along the way.
In other words, even if he knew someone was following him, he didn't care at all.
Because with a simple mental scan, he could clearly see the identity of the person following him.
Although the stalker was dressed in black and wore a black mask, it was clear from some subtle lines and breath that he was from Liyue.
Since you are from Liyue and the equipment is so luxurious and exquisite, it will be easy to handle.
In all likelihood, it was his sister who sent him to "monitor" him, and there is a high probability that this person will be a member of the Privy Council... maybe his position is not low.
Knowing Ningguang's character very well, he knew very well that after the battle of Ossel, an organization like the Privy Council would inevitably fall into the hands of this Tianquan star. Perhaps all the existing documents and materials of the Privy Council would be jointly managed by the seven stars, but the organization's
The members belong to Ningguang alone.
Well... I have another reason to fish.
Under this situation, Ningzhe even completely relaxed his mind and walked back to the station without any precautions.
Now when he wakes up, he just feels refreshed.
Prompted by this happy mood, Ningzhe even had a sinful thought in his heart that he wanted to get up early.
But this thought lasted until he took a look at the scenery outside the window. The sun hadn't even risen yet...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just when Ningzhe was about to take a nap, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.
"..."
Ningzhe was silent for a moment, and immediately prepared to pretend not to open the door, but the door opened by itself.
At first glance, the person knocking on the door was actually Lao Cheng. This middle-aged man had a letter in his hand.
"Lao Ning... Do you still remember what you said in public last time about Stephen King's new book?"
Seeing Ningzhe lying on the bed with a dead look in his eyes, Lao Cheng didn't bother Hu and spoke directly.
"The new book...oh, that "Poetry of the Wind", right? Didn't I give it to Mondstadt's publisher a long time ago?"
As soon as he heard about this, Ningzhe lost interest and immediately rolled his eyes and wanted to go to sleep.
However, Lao Cheng sighed, and then raised a letter in his hand, with a helpless tone: "That's the problem. Your manuscript paper was handed in a long time ago, but the publisher suddenly changed its mind and said that it must be
I need you to hand over the manuscript of this book in person."
At this point, Lao Cheng's expression became a little strange.
"Furthermore, this letter emphasizes "personally" and "original manuscript". I don't know what kind of confusion caused Mond's publishing house to imitate Inazuma..."
"Um?!"
Upon hearing the two words "Manuscript", Ningzhe straightened up like a carp on a conditioned reflex and stood up straight away.
During his time as a novelist in Teyvat, only the fox at Yaedo Hall kept asking him to submit the manuscript of the novel. All other publishers wanted the final version... Why did Mond start to learn this?
Is the rice wife here?
At that moment, his identity and self-perception almost jumped from "Stephen King" to "Koji Tadokoro".
"Yeah, when I received this letter, I almost thought this was Ina Wife..."
As a guard who has been by Ningzhe's side for many years, Lao Cheng immediately understood what Ningzhe meant and immediately sighed helplessly.
"etc......"
After hearing Lao Cheng's words, Ningzhe suddenly realized that this is Mondstadt...which means that the publishing house here is controlled by Yinsmeier.
In other words, the sudden request for the manuscript of the novel was probably Anna Insmeier's request.
But Ningzhe couldn't refuse this request, because generally speaking, in order to control copyright issues, the original author of the novel will send the manuscript to the publisher...
"Oh, yes, I remembered... When I took over for you to attend the banquet, I also saw the eldest lady of the Yinsmeier family, but she didn't seem to be in a particularly good mood."
"She sat on the chair the whole time, didn't eat anything, didn't dance, and kept a polite smile throughout the banquet.
After seeing Ningzhe's rapidly changing expression, Lao Cheng understood most of it.
Now it seems that it was probably because Ningzhe refused the invitation to dance with the young lady at the banquet, and even quietly left the scene, making the arrogant young lady angry.
Um......
Mentioning this, Lao Cheng couldn't help but think of the princess from Nata. She also made the other party lose face. One directly froze Ningzhe's book release, and the other even killed her directly from Nata, thousands of miles away.
.....
Why is Lao Ning always so popular with these young ladies?
"I have to find where the original manuscript of the novel is...if I remember correctly, it should be in the room..."
Compared with Lao Cheng's look of watching the excitement, Ningzhe's current mood is not so good.
Unlike the mysterious and approachable light novel writer "Koji Tadokoro", Ningzhe's character for the pen name "Stephen King" is a talented novelist who attaches great importance to his works...his previous performance was very high.
Cold and loyal.
If the novel promised to readers at this time is not released on time, the character will be ruined!
"I found it, I found it..."
After rummaging around, Ningzhe finally found the original manuscript of the novel "The Psalm of the Wind" that he had placed haphazardly under the bed.
"Without further delay, I will go out to find Anna Insmeier now, and I will leave the affairs of the station to you!"
After finding the manuscript, Ningzhe carefully put it away, and then looked at Lao Cheng solemnly, as if he was explaining some funeral arrangements.
After finishing speaking, regardless of Lao Cheng's speechless expression, he took a deep breath and walked out without hesitation.
"..."
Seeing Ningzhe's expression of despair, Lao Cheng's mouth twitched, and then he shook his head helplessly.
He actually had one more thing to tell Ningzhe when he came here, but he forgot about it when he mentioned the manuscript of the novel.
Chapter completed!
