The number of words in this volume is even more than that in the third volume of Evil City... This is something Sanjiu didn't expect, but there's nothing we can do about it, there are too many stories to tell in this volume.
The volume is called "The Us We Were", and "we" refers to three groups of people in total. One refers to the [Heroic Spirit] team that appeared at the beginning of the volume, the second is the [Night] team, and the third is the original chess pieces that lasted for two thousand years. …Of course, the most important thing is the separation of [Night].
There is no eternal banquet in the world, and eternal companionship only exists in dreams, let alone [Night], each carrying different missions
From the awakening of Baili Pangpang in the Battle of Chennanguan, to the death of Jiang Er, to the betrayal of An Qingyu, to the death of Cao Yuan, to the return of Shen Qingzhu... [Night] Parting and reuniting, people keep leaving. , someone returns again,
When Lin Qiye finally stood on the top of Jiuhua Mountain and became the seventh commander-in-chief of the Night Watch in Daxia, only Brother La was left by his side.
But this is the growth that Lin Qiye should experience.
Lin Qiye Niu during the bloody battle at Chennanguan? Of course! There is also the agent of many gods, the Tian Cong Yun Sword, and the plug-in of the Gods Mental Hospital. Of course, it is the young hero who sweeps the battlefield, the legendary [Night Curtain] Captain!
But can he be considered a real strong man
cannot,
At that time, he could only be considered a talented young man at best.
If he wants to carry the banner of mankind and become a strong man who affects the destiny of mankind, this is not enough. His character is still far behind...
He still needs to experience more, the departure of his brothers, the death of his comrades, the betrayal of the person he trusts most, the disappearance of the person he loves most. He has been played by powerful enemies and has lost everything he once relied on.
Perhaps many other types of books avoid it, but Sanjiu has written it all, because from the beginning, the purpose of this book was not simply "enjoyment".
After experiencing confusion, pain, despair, and two thousand years of accumulation, Lin Qiye now looks like a "strong man"... Of course, being strong does not mean being invincible, and the next volume cannot be either. What an invincible novel, Lin Qiye just stood at a higher place to continue his story.
In this volume, Sanjiu also wrote two love scenes with great color... This is also the part that Sanjiu is least good at. Many people once told me, if it doesn't work, don't write love scenes. There are so many movies without heroines nowadays. Books, aren’t they still beautiful
emmmmm... But I always feel that a story is incomplete without love, because people are emotional creatures, and if a character does not produce any fluctuations in love, then he can only be regarded as a tool to advance the plot, not a living " people".
So despite being scolded all the time, Sanjiu is still working hard to learn and explore the emotional line. Sanjiu also put a lot of thought into the emotional line between Qingyu and Qiye. It is better than before, right
Then let’s briefly talk about the other two groups,
The [Heroic Spirits] team does not account for a large proportion in this volume, but Sanjiu has described each of them in detail or in detail, because they do not only represent a character, but also the characters in "Slaying Gods" 》Silhouettes of different eras on the background.
Huo Qubing and Gongyang Wan will talk about it later. From the turbulent era represented by Nie Jinshan, to the development era represented by Li Kengqiang, to the modern era represented by Tang Yusheng, to the modern era represented by Wang Qing, the existence of each of them corresponds to a period that is not in the book. The "God-Slaying" era is described in the book but actually existed. Their existence expands the world view of this book and makes the Night Watch more knowledgeable.
The "once" here is also the contradictory contrast between the era in which they lived and the era in which the story takes place.
Then there are the first batch of "chess pieces" two thousand years ago, Huo Qubing and Gongyang Wan, who supported that ancient and dangerous era.
Two thousand years ago, Lin Qiye and Jia Lan met, the Yaochi was in turmoil, the Evil Suppression Department was established, the Black King was born, and the chess game began... They are the starting point of this story and an important turning point for mankind.
This volume has a total of more than 800,000 words, condensing the past and future of a group of people. Both in terms of time span and depth, it is more ambitious than any previous volume.
To be honest, Sanjiu is getting more and more tired as he reaches this word count, but he still pulls his hair and wants to write this story better. After all, readers who can catch up to this word count are really in love (?′?` ?)*??*
Okay, there’s the last volume left!
The length of this volume may be relatively short. Sanjiu is expected to be completed at a little more than four million words. This long-distance race that has lasted for almost two years is about to reach its end.
The final volume is called "Under the Night"... Sanjiu won't spoil the specific meaning, everyone knows it.
Next time I will write a summary, it should be the end of the book. For all the true book fans who have followed this update, we will see you at the finale~~
