Chapter 742: What the novelist said about collecting folk songs is actually collecting folk songs
"Of course, I was pushed hard by my editor... ahem, what I mean is that because I demand perfection from my work, which makes readers and editors particularly moved, and because I feel responsible for my work, I traveled to various countries... everywhere to collect materials and collect folk songs."
It sounded very nice, if it wasn't for the two pauses and changes in that sentence, Mo Cheng would have...
Mo Cheng also didn't believe that this guy would really submit the manuscript on time. After all, between submitting the manuscript and going to the battlefield, this guy chose the latter.
It is said that so far, the manuscripts that Wendissa owes are as high as her height.
"Then you should be familiar with the bards."
"Yes, of course I am familiar with them. When I didn't have money to drink, I drank their wine."
Perhaps because she was talking about her past [glorious days], Wendisa started to talk more. It should be said that this girl has always been talkative. "I dare not say much about other things, but I know at least 80% of the resident bards in every tavern in the four or five countries around me."
"I have a story I want you to help me research the source for."
As he spoke, Mo Cheng recounted the story he had heard. Mo Cheng's eloquence was not very good, and the story he retold was also very dull without any ups and downs in his voice. From a bard's perspective, he was completely isolated from the profession of bard.
"I have some impression of this story. I occasionally hear it in some areas." After listening patiently, Wendisa began to search for the origin of the story from her memory. "There are quite a few versions of the story about the Mad King in the empire. Before he went crazy, these stories were always left alone. In fact, there were quite a few bards who closed the door of the tavern at night and secretly told the erotic stories of the Mad King in the court. There were many audiences."
"The story you told is not mainstream, and most people don't buy it. You know, most people want to hear about palace gossip."
Mo Cheng had no doubt about this. After all, in [Foreign Land], the post about Liu Bei about [Mad King Dom] was directly pinned to the top, and the number of replies was always ranked in the top 20.
Although apart from the constant comments like "The author of the post is a good person, may you have a peaceful life", more than 80% of the content in the post was about the crazy political establishment of the Vahlan Empire at that time.
"Can the source be found? I need to know where this story was first passed on."
Wendisa didn't say anything. She looked at Mo Cheng for a while before asking, "Is this related to the Mad King?"
"Yes." Mo Cheng confirmed Wendisa's guess. They all fought together and there was no need to hide this from her. "I got this story from an unpleasant guy. For some reason..."
Mo Cheng suddenly sighed and said, "Well, actually I am not sure that I can crush Mad King Dom directly, so I need to find some information."
The strength of [Mad King Dom] was beyond Mo Cheng's expectations. It was hard to say who would win or lose in this life-and-death battle, but at least it was certain that this battle would not be a crushing victory for either side.
Therefore, both sides were cautious at this time and had no intention of fighting again immediately, but this strange period of peace would definitely not last too long.
Because Archdruid Veblen was about to be unable to suppress Mad King Dom. Even if this ancient demigod used his own life to delay the birth of Mad King Dom, the effect would not be very obvious.
Mo Cheng could clearly feel the birth time of [Mad King Dom ], and that time had never changed.
Even if the ancient demigod used his own life to delay, he could not make any changes to the "destined day".
Otherwise, in that chaotic area of time and space, Mo Cheng and others would not have met Mad King Dom.
Wendisa lowered her head and pondered for a long time before she looked up and said, "If you want to know the origin of this story, I might be able to help."
"This story is circulated in few places. Even if other bards bring this story to other places, they will hide it because the audience does not like it. So if you want to find the source of this story, you have to start from the place where this story is still circulating."
"Yorkshire, Corripon, Eldria..."
Windissa counted on her fingers the places where her story had been circulated. She might be a novelist who was often hounded by editors for not being able to submit manuscripts on time, but apart from the submission deadline, her other relevant abilities required of a novelist were not compromised at all.
She had learned about the customs and practices of various regions, folk tales, and even wrote an erotic story to earn money for drinking when necessary.
Although Wendysa did not submit her manuscript, she was running around, but what she called "collecting folk songs" really was collecting folk songs. At least she was very familiar with the stories she had heard and the pubs in various countries.
I just can't submit the manuscript on time.
"Apart from other stories that sound like they were spread from outside, if you want to find the source, you have to go to Yorkshire, Corripon, and Eldria."
Hearing that there was something that could be investigated, Mo Cheng directly said that he could help, "Is there anything I can do?"
Before the decisive battle, you have to collect intelligence first, travel to five or six places, and play a dozen supporting roles.
This was such a familiar process that Mo Cheng began to think about how to run through these three places in order to complete a lap as quickly as possible.
"I'll go to Yorkshire. I have some intelligence channels there." Wendysa did not refuse. If she were to go alone to do what Mo Cheng asked for, it would really be impossible to solve it quickly.
She took out a piece of paper, wrote a long paragraph on it quickly , and handed it to Mo Cheng, "These are the relevant contacts in Kolipeng and Eldria. You can get their help by following the corresponding passwords. They are trustworthy, and you can't bypass them in your investigation."
After saying this, Wendysa promptly asked a passing cavalryman to dismount, then mounted her horse and prepared to set off.
Before leaving, she looked at Margaret and Dorothy, and her eyes suddenly turned, as if she thought of something.
"By the way, if you plan to go out to investigate, I suggest you take Margaret or Dorothy with you."
Wendy Sha shrugged helplessly, "I received intelligence that one of my editors is looking for me in these two places with a knife in hand. She has a lot of information to investigate about this story, but how should I put it..."
"I suggest that only two people go."
After saying that, Wendisa rode away without looking back.
After they were far away, the novelist who never submitted his manuscripts on time chuckled, "Oh my, now we have to see who Mo Cheng is going to choose."
"Margaret, and Dorothy, I can only help you up to this point."
