Chapter 102 The Gathering
After copying "The Moon and Sixpence", Jon planned to find some lesser-known writers and pay them to write.
Famous writers will naturally look down on the gold pounds offered by Jon, but some poor and down-and-out writers may.
Perhaps it is difficult for these works to become famous, and even if they are signed with Jon's name, they will not be able to become an "artist". But casting a wide net to catch more fish, if a high-quality work becomes famous, Jon will earn an ability .
Regarding plagiarism, Jon has no psychological burden. He is not a writer or an artist. He is a vulgar ordinary person and a plagiarist.
He doesn't want to, nor can he write or engrave his own things. He just wants to imitate some works from his previous life. Even if he can't make them exactly the same, he just needs to make a high-quality imitation that can make him famous.
Good art can be enjoyed by both refined and popular people, such as Venus de Milo. If Jon carved a high imitation of Venus de Milo, he would change the name of the work. After all, there is no Venus, the goddess of beauty, in this era. But she is a goddess of beauty who has the path of the moon.
Therefore, if Jon opens a Sculptor's vest, it is best for this vest to be a believer in the Earth Mother Goddess, and it is best to make friends with one or two nobles from the Vampire Clan. In this case, the Beauty God Sculpture will not be so out of the ordinary.
The superior gods should not care about a mortal artist's fantasy of the God of Beauty. The pursuit of beauty is the commonality of all living things.
Of course, it is not necessary to carve the Venus de Milo. If the carving involves gods, the specific carvings will depend on the classics of each major church.
The True Gods don't want statues in human form, but the dead saints who bear the names of their churches certainly don't care.
Just like assuming that Jon carved a work called "Saint Selina", as long as the original intention of your work is to praise the saint, it stands to reason that the Church of the Night should not care, but Saint Selina herself will. Well, you can ask about the ashes of Saint Selina, but it has been taken away and eaten by Ince.
While Jon was thinking about carving endlessly and practicing carving, he saw Selina handing over a letter sent by someone from outside.
Jon opened it and looked at it, and found that it was an afternoon tea invitation from Miss Angel.
Regarding Angel, Jon felt that the other party's attitude towards him was very strange. In the mysterious world, a woman who couldn't figure out the details could just be regarded as a creature like a witch. It was not too cautious to be cautious.
If you really want to visit the other party, you should wait until Klein is promoted to a magician and develops the function of the paper angel before visiting the other party.
With the blessing of the paper angel, even if there are inexplicable changes in himself, Mr. Fool will be able to notice it and remind himself.
So I'd better say no.
A few hours later, Jon stood up and wanted to get himself a glass of water.
At this time, Jon noticed that Old Warren was holding his manuscript, and his brows were frowning unconsciously, as if he had seen his child bring a failed test paper in front of him and ask for his signature.
"Is there anything wrong with the manuscript or the content on it?" Jon asked.
"I just don't understand your character, Strickland. I think he is simply a fool. I can't quite understand his behavior."
The old man said this.
"He is indeed stupid, I think so too."
Jon said.
"By the way, from the looks of it, you must be twenty years old. Is there any girl you like?"
"Although most girls look down on your status as an undertaker, your status as a writer will give you extra points, especially since you have already written a best-selling book."
Old Warren asked suddenly.
In his previous life, Jon didn't have anyone urging him to get married because of his family. He didn't expect that anyone would care about whether he got married after time travel.
Jon glanced at the manuscript held by Old Warren and suddenly understood why.
"Old guy, the characters in the book are different from me. Please don't blame the character's behavior on the author."
The original author of this book seems to have used the life of an artist as the material, describing the story of Strickland, an originally ordinary London stockbroker, who suddenly became obsessed with art and abandoned his wife and children to learn to paint.
Maybe Old Warren misunderstood something.
"I think you should pay more attention to your son Holden's marriage."
Holden looks to be in his thirties, but he is not married. Jon sits as the leader of the Razor Party, so he naturally knows all the situations in the families of his subordinates.
Noticing old Warren's gray temples and ugly wrinkles on his face, Jon thought that the relationship between old Warren and Holden seemed to be very stiff. He guessed that it was hard for Old Warren to see Holden.
It’s a scene about getting married and having children.
But this is not the ancient Western Continent, and Old Warren is not a nobleman, so he probably doesn't pay that much attention to the inheritance of the family line.
"No, only a super girl is worthy of him, this damn bastard."
Old Warren adjusted the manuscript, his brows twitching, seeming to be extremely dissatisfied with Holden, but his mood was still calm.
Jon didn't ask much. Although he had been here for a while, he didn't really want to know about other people's family affairs.
After chatting with the old man for a while, Jon left and took a carriage to the Brave Man's Bar.
On time, he knocked on the door of the room where the Extraordinary Gathering was held at the "Eye of Wisdom".
Just as he sat down, Jon saw the pharmacist with half of his chubby face raised his hand quickly and said:
"Is the 'Black Snake' coming?"
"'Black Snake'? Didn't he accept your request to help you clean up the beasts in the sewer?"
Jon asked.
"No, he probably didn't clean it up completely. Those beasts are still plundering."
"He violated your trust?" A man in black robes asked with a tight voice. Jon felt that his voice was a little childish, but he could not rule out that it was the result of the other party's disguise.
"No, he went to the sewer. When I felt that he became very strange after coming back from there, I felt that he seemed to be on the verge of losing control. If he was really on the verge of losing control, I could actually prepare some medicine for him to relieve it.
His mental state, but he left before I could ask any more questions..."
The fat pharmacist's tone was a bit strange. Logically speaking, he should have mocked "Black Snake" in a "good-natured" way.
"Can you tell me his specific situation?"
Jon asked.
