Dorothy originally thought that Xia De had prepared for this conversation in advance, but as she talked, she realized that Xia De seemed to really understand.
"The predecessor of knights was heroic epics. But unlike traditional hero legends, most of the heroes of knights only fight alone for their own careers, sometimes purely for adventure, and the adventures are usually carried out in a fictional environment. However, knights have developed to the contemporary era, with the With the decline of the knight class, the elements of adventure in the stories are constantly weakening, but the elements of love and **** are increasing, so some dirty creation genres have been derived."
Xia De shook his head slightly:
"In my opinion, compared with the ancient knights hundreds of years ago, contemporary knights are gradually abandoning chivalry, and the chivalrous spirit shown in order to defend love, honor or religion. But this is also understandable, after all The real knight class has disappeared, and the root of creation has disappeared, so literary creation is like duckweed without roots on the water.
"Very well said!"
Professor Mulder Goethe raised his glass and said.
This means that the bearded middle-aged man does have the temperament of a literary master. He not only has made great achievements in prose creation, but also has a certain attainment in popular literature.
Others also agreed with Xia De's opinion in a low voice. It's not that what Xia De said was good, but that in this era, it has become normal for upper-class writers to criticize knights. Although not all knights tended to the bottom, it is true that literature that has gradually become pornographic and rude language is no longer suitable for this era.
Xia De chose to talk about the knight because he knew that no one would defend the knight in public at the Queen's birthday party.
"However, Mr. Hamilton, it is a marvelous thing for you, a knight, to say that the knights have fallen."
Lady Yeva Swift of Carson Rik said that her Delarion is not very good and she speaks slowly.
"But this is also true, but in my opinion, the decline of the old-style knights also represents the rise of the new-style knights."
"oh?"
His words naturally attracted the attention of many people, even Dorothy looked at Xia De in surprise.
In her opinion, Xia De is not the kind of person who would say big things in a field she is not familiar with, and it is not appropriate to say such things on a occasion with many writers.
"So knight, how do you define the so-called new knight?"
Asked Mr. Prossie Newman, the playwright, who, despite his effeminate appearance and dress, had a normal voice.
"It's very simple, the old-fashioned knights are more focused on depicting fighting powerful enemies and even ghosts in the wild and in the countryside, winning the highest honor of knighthood, returning triumphantly, becoming prominent figures, and marrying ladies or princesses from far away. But for our In terms of the era, where would anyone venture in the country and the wild? Gentlemen, literature must be consistent with the background and tone of the era."
His words did arouse people's approval.
"So, I think the main stage of the so-called new knights' adventure should be placed in the city. This is the most familiar place for those civilized people who can understand the text and like to read books to pass the time."
"Makes sense."
Mr. Miles Garrov, a poet, touched his chin and said that most people are now listening to Shade's "high-spirited talk".
"Secondly, the story of knights defeating robbers, ghosts and evil spirits to gain honor is too clichéd. In urban adventures, where is there any chance to kill casually? Therefore, the story of the new knight should not be like As before, with the purpose of killing a powerful target, but to fight against evil with more civilized means on the main stage of the city."
Before the others realized what he was about to say, Xia De sped up his speech and said:
"Living in the steam city, a man who is good at fighting, proficient in mathematics, grammar, astronomy, and mechanical production, uses his own apartment as his base, shuttles through the fog and steam, hangs out in slums and downtown, hangs out in clubs and noble salons .Sociable with the poor, yet endearing to the big. Fight crime, get paid, dress up in the dark and shadows to get information, make mysterious criminals your number one enemy, and even befriend dames and princesses through quests , get a happy life at the end of the story..."
"Isn't this the detective?"
Finally someone understood what Xia De wanted to say, and people broke away from the scene created by Xia De's words. For people of this era, the scene described by Shad is equivalent to a sense of reality and picture.
Everyone laughed, because Xia De is a detective, and Xia De nodded seriously:
"Yes, so I think that the new type of knight that should be popular in the future is the detective. The detective will definitely succeed."
While talking, Xia De turned his head and smiled at the blonde girl again, and the people seemed to understand something, showing good-natured smiles.
Well, Xia De's speech just now can be explained in terms of romance, so it won't offend people. Moreover, what Xia De said just now seems to have some truth.
Dorothy looked at Shad with a gleam in her eyes:
"So, the detective is the contemporary knight?"
She asked softly, but before Xia De had time to speak, the foreign lady of Carson Rik said:
"Then Mr. Hamilton, the detective, is not the knight who lives in this troubled and complicated northern pearl?"
Probably because the words came out of my mouth, so she used Kasenlik. Shad could understand Kasenlik, so he rolled his tongue and said with a smile:
"Yes, ma'am."
This is also Carson Rik, and he still knows this simple expression.
Ms. Yeva Swift covered her mouth with a chuckle, and continued to praise Shad in Carson Rik, and the people around also expressed their views on the knight.
Only Dorothy was there watching Shad:
"detective......"
"What's wrong?"
Xia De also looked at her, and the gas lamp and crystal chandelier overhead illuminated the two of them. In Xia De's view, Dorothy is very beautiful today, but in Dorothy's view, the high-spirited Xia De seems to be a little different from the past.
After being slightly dazed, she smiled and shook her head:
"Queen Diana is due out in five minutes."
The "illiterate" Xia De, who obtained the status of knight by "saving Queen Diana", seemed to be regarded as one of his own by the writers here after he published his criticism and new opinions on knights.
Before the queen appeared, Xia De took out the business cards he had prepared and exchanged them with people, which was also for the purpose of opening up contacts and attracting business. When these rich people entrust, the bids are generally very high.
People are naturally very happy to get acquainted with the detectives in Saint Teresa Square. Except for the relationship between Xia De and Miss Galina, which no one dares to mention at present, Xia De still has some level as a detective. In the past two months, every commission he took over has been successfully completed.
When the French horn sounded suddenly, there was a sudden silence in the lively banquet hall, and then everyone stood up. It was Queen Diana who was about to appear.
First, a small group of Yordle Palace guards walked down the stairs on the third floor. They all wore thick armor painted with the royal family crest, with long swords and pistols pinned to their waists.
After clearing a passage from the stairs on the third floor to the balcony on the second floor, the trumpeters wearing soft hats and red cloaks with heavy old-fashioned styles also came down from the third floor and stood on the cleared out both sides of the channel.
The reporters gathered on the terrace and set up their cameras aiming at the staircase on the third floor. Half of the people on the first floor came to the second floor, and half went directly into the courtyard to look up.
Amidst the whispers, the low-pitched trumpet sound gradually dropped to the extreme, but after a few rounds, the tone suddenly became louder again.
The voices of the guests fell silent, and everyone looked up at the height of the stairs on the third floor.
First, several maids came out, and then several noble ladies including the Marquise Sulla and the Baron Duchess Randall came out. They stood in the middle of the stairs and looked up with everyone. While the trumpets were being played to the extreme, Queen Diana, wearing a crown and a long silver-white dress, finally walked out surrounded by several princesses, and the person holding her hand, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com is Agelina Cavendish wearing a blue princess dress.
Although compared with her own daughter, Queen Diana was no longer young, but when she appeared here, she seemed to be shining with the clothes and accessories.
She smiled at everyone downstairs, and the applause almost overwhelmed all the horns at this moment. And the smoke and flashes produced by the detonation of a whole row of flash lamps make this picture even more wonderful.
Shade, along with Dorothy, stood at the back of the crowd with the other writers looking up and clapping along with the crowd.
After Dorothy applauded lightly, she turned around and hid behind the taller Xia De, so as not to see Rezia. And Xia De looked up the stairs on tiptoe. He first saw Rezia who was pulling the queen's skirt. The red-haired girls and young people around her should be the princesses and princes of their own country.
Then I saw Miss Galina, and the witch followed Queen Diana. She was also dressed up today, and although she kept that elegant smile on her face, no matter how Xia De looked at it, she felt that the witch seemed a little absent-minded.
