Eagle Byzantium

It has been more than three months since I wrote the story of Gawain, and the manuscript in my hand has reached 400,000 words. Sometimes, Sulla would think about the difference between Gawain and Lepidus in the previous book in his spare time, because some readers now complain that Sulla's book is useless, and Sulla himself is also worried that Gawain will become another Lepidus in the end.

So I talked about it in the remarks in advance, first as a memorandum for my own writing, and second to clear up the confusion of readers.

Let's talk about the issue of "blank" first. In fact, Sulla may not want to write it more plainly. Plain books are not easy to write, because if you rely too much on historical materials, sometimes you will fall into it unconsciously, which will lack the rhythm of the plot and the characterization. In addition, if it is "blank", more readers will be interested in some niche and unpopular topics, which is probably Sulla's expectation - to make more people interested in their novels. I think no author doesn't think so, but whether it is successful or not, there is still no confidence, and it is too early to close the coffin now.

In addition, the difference between Gao Wen and Li Bi Da, I think Comrade Li Da Shuai is first of all a great literary youth, a young man who has not suffered from the hardships of reality. He was very boastful before the time travel, but he immediately fell into disgrace after the time travel. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was broken and bloody. Fortunately, Li Da Shuai is a person who is very good at "evolution" and "adaptation". In the cruel Colosseum of Rome, he gradually abandoned his cowardice and began to become cold and calculating, but Li Da Shuai also has a soft spot in his heart: it is not the princess Adiana (he always hopes to be as strong as Adiana, but he lost. It is not clearly stated in the book, but careful friends should be able to feel that he is more eager to be with the princess, so that his heart will calm down and he can also gain masculine confidence), but the patron saint Tuna who treats him like his own son. He later exploded like a beast and protected his family in front of the enemy; but in front of the patron saint, he was like a filial child in every way.

Lepidus is a silkworm, who secretly weaves a web of power and intrigue; Lepidus is also a viper, who parasitizes in the institutional empire built by Rome, but eventually devours the host. But Lepidus is not a hero who can turn the tide, because in the era when he lived, Rome was already the overlord of the entire Mediterranean, and the Roman legions were invincible. He only needed to follow the trend and did not need to go against the current.

But Gawain is a different person. He has a greater sense of responsibility and a greater sense of responsibility, which is determined by his origin and starting point. The village that Gawain originally wanted to protect was still destroyed, and the Red Hand Squad, where he placed his feelings, had the same ending. He began to realize that "in such a fucked-up old empire, protecting a small village is as difficult as overthrowing the empire. In this case, why not start with the latter?"

Then break all the jars and pots and let go. What is needed is courage, determination, and unyielding struggle.

Gawain fought against the odds. He faced not only the enemy troops in numbers, but also the stubborn mountains in front of him.

After all, in this chaotic and decadent era, no matter how high you climb in the system, you are often mediocre. Historically, although Anna Komnenos constantly complimented her husband Brennus' family in her biography, she looked down on him in her heart and hated his weakness and indecision. She respected him in etiquette, but did not love him at all. Anna and the empire need a true hero to give the ancient Eastern Rome a rebirth from the ashes. This is the value of Gawain Lusser's existence.

Therefore, Gawain will not become the second Lepidus, at least Sulla reminds himself from time to time.

But this doesn't mean that Sulla is fickle. In fact, I still have a lot of feelings for Marshal Li. If I have free time, I might even write some extra chapters of Augustus Road, such as the Roman Empire entering the steam age in advance, and the story of the descendants of Lepidus continuing to fight in the other plane, but this may just be a brain hole... After all, niche themes in Western history are not easy to write, and there is not much economic benefit. To be honest, Sulla can insist on writing this Byzantine theme, and it is also a bit painful and hesitant.

In fact, I can also write about national history, ahem...

But since many readers and fans expect me to continue writing about Western history, I can't let you down, right? After all, life and work are still okay, but if Sulla opens national history themes one day in the future, I hope everyone will not be surprised and support me, because I am also interested in some aspects of national history and always have the desire to write.

When I was on a business trip last week, the editor of Huya reminded me on Q that the book "Yingyang Byzantium" won the Xingchuang Award in the history category (is that the name? I clicked on it when I opened the book), and asked if I wanted to buy it out for 25 yuan per thousand words. I said yes, according to the subscription prospects of my subject, 25 yuan per thousand words is also fine, but Huya continued to remind me that the buyout must be completed with 2 million words.

That's not possible, because I plan to exceed this number of words, and the story is incomplete and the beginning is not complete. For me who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder...

In the end, I had to decline.

So tomorrow's listing, in fact, Sura knows in his heart that this is also the editor's love for me. It is reasonable that the subscription prospects are better when it is listed at the beginning of the month, and it is also Huya mm who fought for it. But I am still uneasy in my heart, as if I have more concerns than when I wrote the first book, so Sura appealed:

I need your support, dear readers!

This kind of enthusiasm may not be so large-scale, but it is the most heartwarming.

When Augustus Road was abused and misunderstood, you and Sulla worked together to finish the book. I hope the same is true for this book, because Sulla is now similar to Lepidus in the previous book and needs your confidence.

There is a joke in the industry that a book must be a god after it is finished. In fact, gods are not simply measured by income and number of fans. As long as you like the medieval world created by Sulla, Sulla is the god of this small world. Sulla promised that he would never leave the incomplete world of Gawain and Anna to readers. That's it.

Let us continue to sail towards the hopeful land of Glamorgan together. Thank you!

PS: Starting from tomorrow morning, two chapters will be updated on time at 2:00, one chapter will be updated on time at 10:00 in the morning, and two chapters will be updated at 19:30 in the evening, for a total of five chapters. I hope you will support me.
