When I finished the last chapter of "Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece", I felt both lost and relieved.

I still remember that after experiencing a very boring time 5 years ago, I finally made up my mind to rewrite the story about ancient Greece in order to make up for the guilt that I had previously broken, and at the same time, it was also my long-cherished wish in my heart.

At that time, I only conceived a rough outline and started writing in a hurry. I never thought that I would write for nearly 5 years (including the idea and pre-storage time), and the number of words was close to 4 million. In such a long time, my life and work have changed a lot, and I have experienced a lot of difficulties in the process of writing. I have thought of giving up many times, but the passion and long-cherished wish in my writing Tell me that I must persevere, and there are countless lovely readers who accompany me on my lonely writing road. It is your continuous encouragement and support that has made me fight to this day.

"Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece" is finally finished. Maybe you think it was a bit hasty, but in my opinion, it basically achieved my expected goal. It completed the outline of the novel prepared in advance. It can be regarded as my first online writing career. The work that is really ending (not counting "Campus Love Record", it was interrupted twice in the middle and ended in a hurry), it is also a big achievement, worth celebrating!

But for the first time to complete such a super long novel, lack of experience revealed some shortcomings.

I think there are several main shortcomings:

One is that the characterization is not enough, most of the characters are just symbols, leaving no impression on the readers. Second, the process of Dionia’s rise to hegemony was too easy. The impact of some unprecedented new systems on the ancient West and the conflicts formed by the protagonist were too superficial, and they did not carry out more complicated interpretations and conflicts. 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 described in detail, the countermeasures taken by the various forces relative to the rise of Dionia and the armed conflicts with it are not well described. reasonable……

The reasons for these deficiencies are, first of all, that I have insufficient pen ability and limited talents, unable to plan and control the overall situation as well as those great gods, and at the same time can write thousands of words every day. Secondly, there is not enough time, especially after all manuscripts have been saved, you have to go to work during the day, and housework at night, you can only rely on some fragmented time to quickly update every day, even if the task is completed, no more Time to sculpt characters and plots in detail.

Another main reason is that energy is not as good as before. Writing takes a lot of energy, and when I write, I like to substitute myself into everyone I conceived, to imagine their emotional flow, their dialogue, and their reaction in battle... The whole brain is constantly resting. Is running. When I was writing "Campus Love Record" more than 10 years ago, I was able to stay up late to write a book for a long time 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 that I’m in my 40s, I feel tired after an hour of continuous thinking. If there are patients and housework bothering me on the way, I will be very upset, and it will take a lot of effort to return to the previous place. In the conceived situation, I will instinctively avoid writing 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 motivation to write a novel. I will spend more time to elaborate the outline and construct the image and character of each character. , Perfect the scenes in the novel, enrich the plot of the story... I hope it will be better than this novel by then.

I say so much, because I have a lot of reluctance in my heart. The novel I wrote with all my hard work is over. I am reluctant to part with you who have always supported and encouraged me. I hope that my next novel will be uploaded. I can get together with you again, but the interval may be longer, because I need to rest for a while before preparing for the next novel. After all, I haven't been able to relax properly for more than 4 years. Included in the Spring Festival.

Finally, I will tell you a little secret. In my original conception of the novel, the full text ended after Dionia defeated Persia and became the overlord of the Mediterranean. There is still a postscript, but I think twice, for the blank of the novel and not to be obtrusive. , So it was deleted later.

Now I tell you the general plot of the postscript:

When the time comes to 2020, when the city of Xianyang in the country of Z is vigorously renovating the old city, the construction team excavated an ancient tomb in the west of the Weihe Plain. After the identification of the ancient tomb by archaeologists, it was believed that the ancient tomb was actually It comes from the Dionian Empire that dominated the West more than 2,000 years ago, and it is most likely the burial mound of the founding emperor Daves of Dionian.

This news shocked not only the international archaeological community, but also the entire Western world.

You must know that in history, Dionia was a great empire that spanned Europe and Asia, and ruled the West for three hundred years. At its peak, its territory not only encompassed the entire Western Europe, the entire North Africa, the entire Asia Minor, and most of the Near East. The region even extended its influence to Eastern Europe and India. Although it eventually fell apart due to its own decline and the invasion of the barbarians, the later generations of Western European monarchs with great talents wanted to reproduce its former glory, and there were countless Western countries. Literati and innocent people fantasize and eulogize the greatness of that era, but no matter how hard they work, until today, the entire West is still a small country, and it is difficult to complete the reunification. The great cause of Dionia has always been only a beautiful vision of Western descendants, but As a result, 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 in anger: How could the clothes of Emperor Daves, who they respected as the emperor of the ages, be buried in the country of Z thousands of miles away!

But soon, Europe’s oldest and noble descendant of the royal family, the current Patriarch of the Davos family, publicly declared that this is very possible, and he also publicized the part of the records of the words and deeds of the emperors of Dionian who have been secretive. The chapter emphasizes that the founding emperor Daves repeatedly mentioned to the second emperor, Croto Kataks, known as "the beloved" the country far away in the east, and Daves also spoke to the third emperor in his later years. The emperor Christod, known as the "smart man", expressed his yearning for the far east, and claimed that Hades had issued oracles to him several times in his dreams, and that it would be better to bury his clothes after his death. Far eastern countries, 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 have carefully searched all historical materials of the Dionian Empire and found that during the reign of the 5th emperor, known as the "conqueror", Salius A large team of envoys was sent, allegedly to find a distant eastern country, but there was no historical record after that.

As a result, there was a great uproar among the Western people, and the people of every Western country also marched and protested unanimously: If this is really the burial mound of the great Emperor Daves, the government of Z should return it to the West!

The governments of all western countries comply with 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 crown burial mound of Emperor Davos, then it is the wealth of all mankind and should be shared by all countries.

Soon, the western archaeological group headed by the descendants of the Davos royal family joined the archaeological team in the country of Z. UU看书www.uukanshu. com also broadcasted the entire archaeological process live at the request of the people of the world.

A rusty golden crown, a helmet, a golden breastplate, a sword, and a decayed brocade robe... After every item is taken out of the tomb, the Davers Patriarch will vividly tell some historical anecdotes about the item. , The audience in front of the TV was also fascinated.

It can now be fully confirmed that this is the crown burial mound of Emperor Dafus.

The audience is looking forward to the archaeologists in China and the West using modern technology to restore the old style of these objects as soon as possible.

A few days later, the golden crown, helmet, breastplate, and sword were all removed from the rust spots, shining with brilliance, and Western experts also found that these objects were all engraved with the same inscriptions, but the experts on the z side were surprised His eyes widened: Because these inscriptions are the simplified characters of country z!

...

Haha, guess what characters are those?
