Hello everyone~ This is Qingkong. I haven’t come out to chat with you for a long time. The third volume has recently been completed, so I just came out to talk to you.
First, let’s answer everyone’s questions.
Reader: Wow, with this recent title, is this book going to be finished?
Aozora: Not yet. It’s only the third volume now. There will be at least three more volumes in the future. I guess as I write more, there may be more inspiration. If the results are good, it is not impossible to expand to 10 volumes.

Reader: What story will be written in the next volume? Has Little Lorraine been turned into pieces? Oh, no, my Little Lorraine.
Qingkong: The next volume will write the daily story of Luo Lan living alone in the Eastern Continent. Little Luo Lan will not die so easily, but it will take a while to regain his strength. It is also a good time to experience a simple and relaxed life, every day
Being a sage is also very tiring.
——
Reader: Oh, what about the other witches? I really want to read the stories of other witches. Have they become mortals now?
Aozora: After the crown is broken, witches will also go through a period of weakness, but they will regain their scattered powers because they are originally candidates for gods.
——
Reader: Why do the fragments of power always choose girls to become witches instead of boys?
Aozora: Because girls are very beautiful and cute 0 0/, I want to see a lot of beautiful, cute and powerful girls. (Actually, it is the subconscious preference for beauty that makes the fragments prefer beautiful girls.)
——
Reader: Will you write a sequel about Pullman in the future? I want to see how he and his friends build a country.
Aozora: Well, this is a big hole (fog). I will probably fill in the memories slowly in the fifth or sixth volume. I won’t fill it in for now. (Because I have to write the story of the Eastern Continent (`?ω
?′))

Reader: I want to make a comment! I feel that the pace of this volume is so fast. At the end, the perspective suddenly changes to green and so on. The end is also weird, as if it is in the clouds and fog.
Aozora: There is no way, Aozora is a loser_(:з」∠)_Because the writing of the second volume is not very good, it seems that the breath has not been vented. If the progress of the third volume is still slow, it will feel very depressed and uncomfortable.
(At the end of the second volume, I had read a lot (T_T)). So I sped up the pace to express the accumulated emotions in my heart as quickly as possible, and to meet everyone's expectations for the development of the story.
The ending is also accelerated because of this. If you want to explain it in detail, there will be much less room for foreshadowing, and some things will have to be supplemented in extra chapters. This is indeed an imperfect place, and it also exposes the fact that Qingzora is a noob (
cover eyes)

Reader: I think so because in my opinion the main theme of the third volume is still the change of the people's destiny. The destiny of ordinary people is completely in their own hands and not controlled by others. Whether it is the nobles who once oppressed them,
Or Selene's behavior of sacrificing ordinary people for a certain future. Their essence is to try to determine the fate of others, and the protagonist resists this behavior. I think this is what you want to express, but the main idea is
One chapter ends with a 1V1 between two beings with obviously superior strength, which makes people feel very regretful. This shows that in this world, the fate of ordinary people is still determined by certain individuals. The fighting power shown by these two people in the end is too great.
It's outrageous. If Lorraine loses in the end, then all the efforts made by the Clansians will be like ants fighting, and suddenly seem ridiculous. They are still too far away from controlling their own destiny.
Aozora: Thank you to this reader for his long comment, because he is really reading and thinking 0 0/
Regarding this, it actually involves the issue of literary aesthetics, whether it is necessary to reflect the greatness of a certain spirit and praise it that conquers and dominates everything, in order to be considered a good story and novel.
It is undeniable that this kind of idea is indeed the main theme, very good, and I like it very much. But sometimes, because of being too persistent and ignoring the objective reality, I fall into a narrow situation, which feels like forced preaching.
But in fact, I did not say that the fate of everyone is determined by individuals. On the contrary, the crown is produced by carrying the prayers of the vast majority of people, and its leader must also be someone who can respond to those prayers and dreams.
.
The formation of a person's concept is closely related to the society, environment and experience in which he lives.
Selene's actions may seem cruel and inhumane to later generations, but in the era when she grew up and lived, she was undoubtedly a hero, leading the rise of mankind and overthrowing the rule of the orcs. In that precarious era, mankind was
Those who recognize this sacrifice and think it is worth it.
Later, the Mercury Dynasty established by the witches did respond to these prayers, further strengthening her recognition and belief in this approach. The story of the 'Backlighter' was also told in the book. This idea is not Selene's alone.
An isolated case.
After thinking about it, I finally realized that it was me. I wish I had told Selene's story earlier. It was in reverse order and failed to live up to everyone's expectations. Wow.

Reader: Qingkong Qingkong, I saw a reward from the Silver League, why don’t you update it!!
Aozora: This is really difficult 0 0. People think that authors can write books 24 hours a day, but this is not actually the case.
10 a.m.: Get up, check my phone, reply to group messages, say hello, visit forums, watch videos, etc.
12 noon: It’s almost time to get up, go out to buy groceries, and then come back to cook.
1 p.m.: The meal is ready, and I sit in front of the computer to eat and watch videos.
2pm: After eating, I feel a little sleepy and don’t want to work at all, so I lie down.
3 p.m.: I got up with an uneasy conscience, wondering what I should write today.
4pm: Looking for inspiration and materials, trying to draw up a new outline.
5 p.m.: After much thought, I’ll just go with my feelings and forget about it.
6 o'clock in the evening: It's time to code, Qingkong. He said, it's time to do it.
8pm: Chapter 1 is out! I’m going to heat up a meal.
9pm: Read the comments on Chapter 1, finish dinner quickly, and continue with Chapter 2.
11 o'clock in the evening: Chapter 2 is completed, but I still need to check for typos and send it out before 12 o'clock in the morning.
1 a.m.: Chat with group friends and send emoticons.
2 a.m.: I remembered a game I haven’t played today.
4 a.m.: I was sleepy and went to bed under the covers.
6 a.m.: What happens when you suddenly can’t sleep?
The next morning: I feel very sleepy, so I will continue to sleep for a while.
That's probably what it's like 0 0/Occasionally, I die suddenly overnight, which makes me feel depressed the next day.

Because of writing novels, I have been thinking a lot about life, society and other issues recently. In fact, it is difficult to deny that there are ugly and dark parts in the world, or even most of them, which make people feel disappointed and uncomfortable.
But it doesn’t mean that the world is like this, so I have to be like this too.
Judging from my experience in the past few years since I entered university and entered society after graduation, I have indeed gone through a lot of ups and downs, including but not limited to the death of my mother from a serious illness, the loss of all the money at home, being defrauded at work, and changing several jobs. Later,
I also applied for a class to learn programming but failed to change my career. I suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the hospital, which required me to take medication all year round.
But these are nothing. I know and have seen people who are more unfortunate than me, not counting those in the media, but those I have seen with my own eyes.
Life is indeed not as fair and just as we imagined.
Even so, we can still pursue some things we really want to do within our capabilities. Sometimes it may be naive or unbelievable. As long as it is something that has been tossed and turned in our hearts for many years and we want to try it, and it does not violate the law.
Regarding public morality, you can try it.
In this way, you will filter out those regrets that you shouldn't have, and at the same time, you will discover the things you really like in the waves.
The meaning of life is to chase those things that you like and make you feel warm, peaceful and comfortable. And such things are gradually discovered in life and growth.
When you see a disgusting scene, if you have the ability, try to change it. If you don't have the ability, try to avoid it. If you can't avoid it, try to adapt to it.
Adaptation does not mean recognition, nor does it mean helping others do evil, but rather trying to achieve goals without doing the same bad thing.
Finally, I would like to borrow the words of my favorite and most admired writer, Mr. Lu Xun.
"I hope that all Chinese young people will get rid of the air-conditioning and just move up, without having to listen to the words of those who give up on themselves. Those who can do things will do things, and those who can speak out will speak out. If you are hot, you will shine.
Just like a firefly, it can shine a little in the dark without waiting for a torch.
From now on, if there is no torch, I will be the only light."
