Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece - Chapter 1317
[Summary of the book and postscript to the novel]
When I finished the last chapter of “Mediterranean Overlords of Ancient Greece”, I felt both lost and relieved.
I still remember that after a very boring time 5 years ago, I finally made up my mind to rewrite the story about ancient Greece to make up for the guilt of breaking up before, but also to fulfill my long-cherished wish.
At that time, I only conceived a rough outline and started writing in a hurry. I never imagined that I would be able to write for nearly 5 years (including the conception and pre-recording time), and the number of words is close to 4 million.
During such a long period of time, my life and work have undergone a lot of changes, and I have also experienced many difficulties in the process of writing. I have thought of giving up many times, but the passion and long-cherished wish in my writing have never been the same. Telling me that I must persevere, coupled with the countless lovely readers who accompany me on my lonely writing journey, it is your constant encouragement and support that keeps me fighting to this day.
“Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece” is finally finished. Maybe you think it’s a little hasty, but in my opinion, it has basically achieved what I expected. It has completed the pre-drawn outline of the novel. It can be regarded as the first book in my online writing career. The work that is really finished (“Campus Love Record” is not counted, it was interrupted twice and ended in a hurry), it is also a big achievement, and it is worth celebrating!
But it was the first time to complete such a long novel, and the lack of experience exposed some deficiencies.
I think there are several major deficiencies:
First, the characters are not portrayed enough. Most of the characters are just symbols, which do not leave any impression on the readers.
Second, the process of Dionia’s rise from rise to hegemony was too easy, and the impact of some unprecedented new systems formulated by the protagonist on the ancient West and the contradictions and conflicts formed were too superficial, and more complex interpretations and conflicts were not carried out. Dig deeper.
The third is the lack of comprehensive control over the entire grand historical process in the book, which should be abbreviated and which should be written in detail, and the countermeasures taken by each force in relation to the rise of Dionia and the armed conflicts that occurred with it are not well described. Reasonable……
The reasons for these deficiencies, I think, are first of all due to my lack of writing skills and limited talent, so I cannot plan and control the overall situation as well as those great gods, and at the same time, I can write 10,000 words every day.
Secondly, there is not enough time, especially after all the manuscripts have been exhausted, you still have to go to work during the day and have housework at night. You can only rely on some fragmented time to hurry up and update every day, even if the task is completed, there is no more time to carefully sculpt the characters and plot.
Another major reason is that the energy is not as good as it used to be.
Writing takes a lot of energy, and when I write, I like to put myself in every character I imagine, imagining their emotional flow, their conversations, their reactions in battle…the whole brain doesn’t stop is running.
When I was writing “Campus Love Records” more than 10 years ago, I was able to stay up late for a long time to write the book without feeling tired, and even after I finished writing, my whole spirit was still immersed in it, and I couldn’t get out for a while.
Now, as I am in my 40s, I feel fatigued after thinking for an hour in a row. If there are patients and housework to disturb me on the way, I will feel very irritable, and it will take a lot of effort to get back to where I was before. Therefore
,
I will instinctively avoid making the plot more complicated, so that I can complete the task more easily…
In short, this novel is finished, but I have a lot of regrets, and these regrets will become my writing The motivation for the next novel, I will spend a longer time to develop a detailed outline, build the image and character of each character, improve the scenes in the novel, and enrich the storyline… I hope it will be better than this novel. progress.
I have said so much, because I have a lot of reluctance in my heart. I am reluctant to let the novel I wrote with all my painstaking effort come to an end. I am reluctant to part with you who have always supported and encouraged me. I hope that when my next novel is uploaded I can meet you again, but the time interval may be longer, because before I prepare the next novel, I need to rest for a while. After all, I have not been able to relax well for more than 4 years. Included in the Spring Festival.
Finally, let me tell you a little secret. In my original novel concept, the whole text ended after Dionia defeated Persia to become the overlord of the Mediterranean Sea. There is also an afterword in this book, but I thought about it again and again later, for the sake of the novel’s blank and in order not to be obtrusive. , so it was later deleted.
Now let me tell you the general plot of the postscript: the
time comes to 2020, when Xianyang City in country Z is vigorously carrying out the renovation of the old city, the construction team excavated an ancient tomb in the west of the Weihe Plain. Identification, it is believed that this tomb actually came from the Dionysian Empire, which dominated the West more than 2,000 years ago, and is most likely the tomb of Davos, the founding emperor of Dionia.
This news not only shook the international archaeological community, but also shook the entire Western world.
You must know that Dionia was a great empire spanning Eurasia in history, ruling the West for three hundred years. At its peak, its territory not only covered the entire Western Europe, the entire North Africa, the entire Asia Minor and most of the Near East The region has even extended its influence to Eastern Europe and India. Although it eventually fell apart due to its own decline and the invasion of barbarians, the Western European monarchs with great talents in later generations all dreamed of recreating its former glory, and there were also countless Western The literati fantasized and sang the greatness of that era, but no matter how hard they tried, until today, the entire West is still a small country, and it is difficult to achieve unity. Therefore, the cultural relics of the Dionian Empire are highly respected by Westerners.
When this news spread all over the world, it was questioned by countless Western people: How could the clothes of Emperor Davos, who they respected as the first emperor of the ages, be buried in the country Z, which is thousands of miles away!
But soon, the oldest and noblest descendant of the royal family in Europe, the current owner of the Davos family, publicly declared that this was very possible, and he also released part of the words and deeds of the emperors of Dionia, who had always been kept secret. The chapter emphasizes that the founding emperor Davos repeatedly mentioned the distant eastern kingdom to the second emperor, Crotokatax, known as “the Beloved”, and in his later years Davos also spoke to the third emperor Emperor Christopher, known as “The Wise”, expressed his longing for the Far East, and claimed that Hades had several times in his dreams given him an oracle that after his death it would be best to bury his robes there. The distant eastern country, so as to ensure the long-term stability of the empire.
Immediately afterwards, the most authoritative association of archaeologists in Europe also announced that they had carefully searched for all the historical materials of the Dionysian Empire and found that during the reign of the 5th emperor, Salixius, known as the “Conqueror”, it was indeed true. A huge contingent of messengers was dispatched, allegedly to find the distant eastern kingdom, but there is no historical record after that.
As a result, the Western people were in a commotion, and the people of every Western country also marched and protested unanimously: If this is really the tomb of the great Emperor Davos, the government of Z country should return it to the West!
All Western governments have responded to the demands of the people and put pressure on the government of country Z.
In the face of strong international pressure, the government of country Z finally agreed: if this is really the tomb of Emperor Davos, then it is the wealth of all mankind and should be shared by all countries.
Soon, a Western archaeological team led by the descendants of the Davos royal family joined the archaeological team in country Z, and at the request of the people of the world, the entire archaeological process was broadcast live.
Rusty golden crowns, helmets, golden breastplates, matching swords, and rotting brocade robes… After each item was taken out of the tomb, the Davos family master would vividly tell some historical anecdotes about the item , the audience in front of the TV was also fascinated.
It is now fully confirmed that this is the tomb of Emperor Davos.
Audiences are looking forward to archaeologists from China and the West using modern technology to restore these objects to their former glory as soon as possible.
A few days later, the golden crown, helmet, breastplate, and matching sword were all stripped of rust spots, shining brightly, and Western experts also found that the same inscriptions were engraved on these objects, but the experts on the Z side were surprised. Eyes widened: because these inscriptions are the simplified characters of country Z!
…
hehe, guess what those words are?
