After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 773: You can't even understand literature

"The two elders fell to the ground with a "plop", bent over in defeat and said, "You're amazing! We're no match for you."

The Westwind elder laughed triumphantly and said, "Hahaha, now you know what it means to be no match for someone? Hahaha!"

After admitting defeat, the two elders quickly picked up the book and flipped through it. After reading a few pages, their faces showed a strange expression. They closed the book and said to Robb, "Mr. Lord of Westwind City..."

"I'm not the lord, just a commoner," Robb said. "Or you can call me the Great Druid if you like."

"Oh, okay, Great Druid, we have a question," the two elders said. "We just read this book, 'The Forest Full of Black Pines', we feel...cough...its level...cough...is just so-so. How can a book like this sell five hundred copies? Are we really out of touch with literature, cough, or with this world?"
 

 

Robb smiled and said, "Maybe you are. Let me show you another book."

He swooshed and threw out a novel, 'Five Centimeters Per Second', written by a noble lady from Westwind City. It told the story of her beloved man who went to study fire magic in the Magic Academy of Bright Road. She personally saw him off at the train station, as heavy snow blocked the road, the train moved slowly, only at a speed of eight centimeters per second.

The man stuck his head out of the train window and promised her that he would become successful in his studies. When he became a "Court Magician," he would come back and marry her.

The man worked hard on Bright Road to become a Court Magician, but his magical talent was really bad. He failed time after time, and was rejected by the Court Magicicians again and again.

But he didn't give up. In order to become a Court Magician, he even fought against the Church of Darkness!
 

 

Now the girl is still waiting for him! Waiting for the day when the train will bring her beloved man back to marry her.

The two elders flipped through a few pages and were moved unconsciously. The book was beautifully written, and the key was the flavor of the heroine's naive love and the attitude of the hero's struggle for love. They couldn't stop reading it. Of course, they didn't know who the prototype of the male protagonist was. If they knew, they would surely be so shocked they would die.

The two elders couldn't help but applaud together, "This book is so well written, this is true literature...but...what is a train? And what about the cake mentioned in the book? And the water wheel...Oh, and here it says the main character eats pudding, what is pudding?"

Robb laughed and said, "Look, the outside world is changing rapidly, and you elves are hiding in the mountains and forests, not keeping up with the times. You can't even understand the words in literature. I'm sure that in a few decades, you won't be able to understand anything in the books written by others. Then, won't you become illiterate?"

Upon hearing this, the two elf elders immediately broke out in a sweat.
 

 

This was no joke!

If the outside world continued to change like this, they might not be able to understand anything in books. How could they survive?

For the elves, they could lose their heads and spill their blood, but they must not lose their literature.

Robb took several books out of his bag and threw them in front of them. "Take a look at these books and tell me your thoughts."

The two elf elders picked up the books and flipped through them, then shook their heads at the same time. "What junk are these? How could such rubbish be published?"

Robb laughed and said, "You're right. These books are all garbage, selling very few copies. There is even one book that sold less than a hundred copies. But... there are still people publishing such books now, trying desperately. Why? Because the printing industry has just begun to rise, and people have a strong desire to read, but there isn't enough quality content to provide them. So, businessmen print all kinds of garbage, trying to sell them to the people. If they sell well, they make a big profit, and if they don't, they lose a little...thus, these garbage books are created."

The two elders pondered for a moment. "So what you're saying is that there are few people writing books now, and people need content creators."

"Exactly!" Robb smiled. "Don't you envy Elder Westwind for publishing a book?"

This question was purely rhetorical. The two elders nodded their heads like little chicks pecking at seeds.

"If you want to write a book, come to me! I can provide you with the opportunity to publish a book. You can also establish your own literary reputation and spread your literature. Isn't that beautiful?"

With this, the two elf elders no longer hesitated.

"Let's go to Westwind City! Let's publish a book! We also want to spread literature."

"That's right! The books we write will definitely sell better than the ones Elder Xifeng writes."

Elder Westwind was furious. "Nonsense, you are not capable of surpassing my achievements. I am not only a literary artist, but also a film artist. I have blossomed in the field of art. You two fools who only squat in the forest are not even worthy to learn from me."

The expressions on the two elders' faces immediately froze. "What is film art?"

"So, you are fools. It's too early for you to think about surpassing me."

"Who's afraid of who? We learn things very quickly. As soon as we enter Westwind City, we will know everything you know, and even the things you don't know, we will learn."

"Come on, let's challenge each other! I'm currently writing a new book, and you should join in too. Let's see whose book sells better."

The tribes of the White Poplar Forest and the White Birch Forest have left the forests and entered Westwind City.

At the same time, in the famous mountains and rivers within the territory of the Kingdom of Gran, many reclusive, kind and upright races in the deep mountains and old forests are experiencing the same problem.

The continuous influx of monsters into the deep mountains has occupied the living spaces of these kind and upright races, forcing them to run out of their thousand-year-old homes. They were warmly welcomed by humans.

The Kingdom of Gran, which is thriving, showed great enthusiasm for the elves and dwarves who are skilled in magic and technology. Elves were invited to make magic items and alchemy, while dwarves were invited to be craftsmen. Those who have abilities are needed in this prosperous kingdom!

Soon, the Wind Elves who lived in the Wind Spirit Cave moved eastward to Stone Canyon.

The dwarf tribes living in the Tianhua Canyon also came to Westwind City.

In the east of the Kingdom of Gran, the elves who lived hidden in the elven forests came out and entered the White Lion City.

Various regions have seen many elves and dwarves appear like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, whose existence was previously unknown. Their arrival greatly accelerated the Kingdom of Gran's rapid development, forming a beautiful virtuous cycle.
