Chapter 67 Let the sales fly for a while!
Fengling Moon Shadow Palace.
The Queen of Eternal Night finished broadcasting to the whole city, looked at Roger who was waiting outside the formation and asked if there was anything else to add.
Roger shook his head, "Your Majesty played quite perfectly."
The Queen of Eternal Night listened to his heart carefully and found that he truly meant it...
She couldn't get used to it.
Although "New Arcane" was announced to the public, she followed Roger's suggestion and didn't introduce it too much, and just said that it was a platform specially prepared for magicians to explore more possibilities for magic.
Then she talked about the unique subscription method developed by the Queen of Eternal Night for "New Arcane".
And that's about it.
There are a lot of things to promote and brag about, bastard!
They have been and still are working so hard on this magazine, but she couldn't properly promote it (show off in public), this made the Queen of Eternal Night a little frustrated.
Even if there was no competition to beat, she thought she should have cast a magic projection during the "New Arcane" press conference and explain all the advantages of the magazine.
Then they could have hosted some promotional events and lottery activities to stimulate sales enthusiasm. Wasn't this the perfect plan?
But Roger threw her a mysterious line called "Frigid style", and made her introduce it in a super vague way. She was very worried that despite her appeal, it would not be enough to boost sales.
After all, many of the ideas in the "New Arcane" are far beyond the times.
What if the magicians don't adhere to it? What if they oppose me? What if my attempt fails in the end?
Even if she doesn't rule the entire world, when the whole army is on the line, there is still an element of gambling.
Also because she is a king, she has worries and hesitations, and her heart is full of unease, but she can't talk about it to her courtiers, right?
She just saw that there were only a few hundred magazines piled up like a hill in the center of the hall, and only half of them were gone after a long time, and she couldn't help showing a worried look.
To release "New Arcane", the Queen of Eternal Night superimposed a point-to-point item transmission array system based on the city's defense formation in the mysterious city.
A magician only needs to prepare five gold coins and recite a specific spell on them, and then he can receive the latest "New Arcane".
The experience is a lot like online shopping on Earth.
Click on the link (spell), pay online, and have it delivered to your door.
Thanks to the existence of the item transfer array, the timeliness far exceeds the logistics of the Earth.
Of course, the price of five gold coins, including shipping, is ridiculously high.
According to the original idea of the Queen of Eternal Night, anyway, the empire is not short of money now, and they could have given away the first issue for free too.
But it was rejected by Roger.
He is very confident in the "New Arcane" and insists that there is no need to attract users by giving it away for free. After the follow-up arrangements are launched, the Imperial Magicians will definitely see the charm of this magazine.
They must get accustomed to the value of knowledge and develop the habit of paying for the ideas it subsequently give them.
A few twists and turns are still necessary.
Of course, the current scene is not good.
After the most fanatical magicians with good money, had bought the "New Arcane" promoted by the Queen of Eternal Night, there had been fewer and fewer magicians willing to buy it.
Now it's down to a few books a minute, and it's even getting slower...
They prepared 50,000 copies of the inaugural issue, but only 500 copies have been sold until now. This gap is too great. No wonder the Queen of Eternal Night is not calm.
After waiting for another ten minutes, only three copies of The New Arcane were sold, and so the Queen of Eternal Night decided to chat with Roger.
She coughed, pointed to the hill in the center of the hall, and asked, "Roger, why don't you give this first issue of "New Arcane" for free?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Aodu was not built in a day, and a new era cannot come in a day. Let's let the sales fly for a while." Roger bowed.
[Interesting, does Her Majesty also have moments of timidity? Her worried little expression is really cute...]
The Queen of Eternal Night suddenly raised her eyebrows.
I'm not cute, I'm a domineering female boss ok?
I'm just worried that you messed up and ruined the good "New Arcane"!
If all your hard work is in vain, the people who will not lose to you in co-authoring will be the ones who will show up in front of me, right?
The queen said irritably, "If "New Arcane" doesn't sell and doesn't attract the attention of the magicians, I will throw you into a thin wax nest and bake you for a month!"
That night, the Queen of Eternal Night only thought about how to separate Roger from little Joey without violating her principles. As a result, she forgot her original purpose of going to the Ice Room.
After she left, the Queen of Eternal Night had changed her mind. Instead of placing the thin wax nest in the Ice Room, she installed it in Charles House.
Her thinking at that time was infinitely optimistic: if the "New Arcane" developed smoothly, the scale of the magazine would expand, and the boss would stay in the office every day to work...
What if there were a female employee who couldn't wait and wanted to take a shortcut? How about an appointment to read the manuscript overnight?
I can't accept it!
So, she decided to let this kid go home on time after work to avoid images that are not suitable for children.
Of course, the Queen of Eternal Night explained to herself that, when the empire was fighting against the gods, how could he be distracted by those messy things?
The empire and I only have ten more years. You have to serve me wholeheartedly for the benefit of the country and the people!
So I urge my subjects to focus on self-improvement, there is nothing wrong with it, this is what a good emperor with positive energy should do~
This kind of thoughts were hidden behind her gift, but Roger was naturally very grateful to the dignified queen for the effect of the thin wax nest.
Thanks to the talent of the Phoenix bloodline, in the high-concentration fire magic environment, he not only can automatically accumulate magic power without meditation but also feels very comfortable.
Just like the diced watermelon in the hot summer, the small hot pot in the cold winter, the pixie had returned to its Pokeball (not).
However, the thin wax nest was built by the Queen of Eternal Night, and she naturally left a back door, for example, the temperature inside can be changed at will.
Roger won't be roasted to death because of his high-level fire immunity, and his comfortable temperature range is also different from ordinary people.
But if it exceeds 3,000 degrees, he will also feel uncomfortable.
But Roger felt that such punishment was more merciful than those emperors who are always deamining people.
So he also said half-jokingly, "So, if the sales are good, Your Majesty will not be stingy with the rewards?"
Before she knew it, the worries of the Queen of Eternal Night were swept away by Roger's harassment.
She snorted in disapproval, "When have I ever been stingy with awards? If the sales satisfy me, you can make any requests."
"Don't make jokes, that minister can write it down." Roger smiled.
[It is estimated that money and power are what this scumbag woman has in mind. In fact, as a scholar, what we want to pursue is to make her dress up as we wish. 】
Because of the excellent modeling, many players in later generations have played the game deep into the night, and the queen was the well-deserved first heroine.
The pictures formed a massive wave of information.
The Queen of Eternal Night was flooded to the point where her brain was a little shaken...
The style of painting is good, the picture is also good, and the clothes design is also good...
But it would've been great if the heroine wasn't me!
Why am I still stuck with Angelina?
Why do I still pose with Angelina and Margaret?
Well, you poor little brother, in your filthy thoughts, even your sister is not spared!
The Queen of Eternal Night almost gnawed her silver teeth when she received the pictures of the revolving lanterns flowing through Roger's head at the moment.
This bastard's brain is like squeezing toothpaste, and his colored waste thoughts are like a flood attack!!!
No way!
What do you want me to do?
Give someone an inch and they take a mile, right?
The Queen of Eternal Night looked at Roger, who tended to be silly and distracted, and there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of her mouth, "By the way, Mrs. Mosconi will help me make the court clothes and regular clothes for the next season. Anyway, we have to wait for the performance results. Can Roger help me with the style and design?"
Roger's ears perked up.
[Advise the Queen of Eternal Night on styles and designs? In summary, isn't that just dressing up Your Majesty based on my fantasies? 】
[And during this process, won't I be able to see Her Majesty changing her clothes, wearing only close-fitting clothes in-between, or accidentally walking out... Good! 】
"I must share Your Majesty's worries!" Roger agreed with a righteous face.
The Queen of Eternal Night summoned Mrs. Mosconi and whispered a few words in her ear.
When Mrs. Mosconi heard this, she looked surprised and puzzled and looked at Roger more intently.
This made Roger a little nervous.
I, a boy, will accompany the queen to try on clothes, and it was found out by the traditional Mrs. Mosconi. She wouldn't be angry, would she? Wouldn't she disagree?
Mrs. Mosconi is so scary!
But in the end, it seemed that the authority of the queen was higher, Mrs. Mosconi nodded and asked Roger to follow her to a side hall like a warehouse.
There are a lot of fabrics and semi-finished clothes here, and hundreds of tailors are busy.
With the prosperity of imperial magic, these tailors are also magicians, and their efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary Weaver Maidens.
Although the Queen of Eternal Night is not the kind of empress who is extravagant and pursues personal enjoyment, she still is the face of the empire.
Limited to the textile level of this era, even if there is magic protection, many clothes cannot be developed.
A lot of them are one-off costumes with magic special effects.
This has led to many luxurious dresses. The Queen of Eternal Night wears them once and then throws them away to look smart.
It is Tian Tian's classic golden and red robe (original skin), which is also worn in more than a thousand sets of the same.
Naturally, to meet the dress requirements of the queen, a professional team is needed.
Although Roger has the aesthetic sense of a straight male, after all, he has been nurtured by tons of cosplays in the Internet era, and his vision is ahead of this era.
He recalled the classic outfits in his mind, and he came up with a lot of outfits that made Mrs. Mosconi feel impressed.
Then the tailors will carry out the next step of processing and adjustment according to the queen's figure.
"Madam, isn't Her Majesty coming to try on the clothes? No matter how good the design is, it can only be properly altered if she wears it."
After waiting like this for a long time, Roger still didn't see the Queen of Eternal Night come in to try on clothes. He couldn't wait to see the picture he had in mind.
"What Lord Charles said is right, but Her Majesty has gone to the mysterious law meeting to deal with important matters. She made other arrangements here."
She clapped her hands.
Five old maids, who were about the same height as the Queen of Eternal Night, but clearly in their 60s, entered the side hall and began to dress in front of Roger's eyes.
Roger felt like he was about to go blind.
Aunts, don't, be merciful!
Ah, be more reserved!
He asked with a pale face, "Mrs. Mosconi, what does this mean?"
Mrs. Mosconi's habitually tense face also revealed a helpless smile, "Her Majesty said, as long as it looks good on the maids, she will look even better, so please continue to work hard, Sir Charles!"
Roger felt that both his body and spirit were greatly injured.
So the queen didn't try on the clothes for him to see, but let him dress up the five maids beautifully?
This is not the picture I want at all!
At this moment, he suspects that the Queen of Eternal Night is playing with him, however, he can't prove it!
…
…
Fengling Moon Shadow Palace.
The Queen of Eternal Night was lying on her bed, tasting the frozen fruit peeled by the maid, and after listening to Rommel's report on the situation on the front line, she saw Roger's collapsed expression.
She snorted, "That's it? That's it? Children also want to show off in front of adults. Who gave you the courage?"
Roger was complaining nonstop, and she subconsciously listened in on the guy's inner little theater.
Although it doesn't conform to noble etiquette, it is very interesting.
Now Roger is trapped in the side hall, being supervised by Mrs. Mosconi, the five maids are trying to match beautiful clothes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth is getting bigger and bigger.
It was so much fun to see Roger, who was reluctant but unable to refuse!
Suddenly, a light flashed in the Queen's mind.
She used magic to project several outfits and sent them to Mrs. Mosconi.
She's going to make some new clothes for Angelina and Margaret and dress them up, ha!
Not only LSPs like to buy clothes for their wives.
Girls also like to play with Barbie dolls!
How much money does the Nuan Nuan series make?
Aren't the two prime ministers of the empire much better looking than those dolls?
They're both eye-catching and good-looking. Thank you, Treasure Boy Roger, for the pictures, I'll just happily accept it!
The Queen of Eternal Night considered this wave of plunder successful, and she was delighted!
She suddenly lowered her head and ran her fingers across her long legs to her chest, proud of her curves, and whispered:
"If "New Arcane" can achieve the expected results, it's not impossible for me to try on one or two sets of those clothes you like... I also like some of them!"
Everyone like beauty.
After all, there are two categories, one is all crooked, but the other has many works that are normal and girls will like.
The Queen of Eternal Night also yearned for the styles and designs of the clothes, the works created by the Great God.
The old ladies are so beautiful that she's getting excited, so beautiful that it surpasses the times!
Her eyes flashed tremendously, revealing a hint of anger when she saw his demo.
She didn't realize that this is what a woman had to look like to please him.
Someone has more and more weight in her heart, she cares about his feelings very much, and wants to attract his attention all the time.
Is this not what is called liking?
…
…
The mysterious capital, the Imperial Academy of Magic.
By the blue lake, a young girl with brown curly hair and a pale complexion who looked a little unhealthy and thin was sitting under an apple tree, eagerly taking out five gold coins and lining them up in front of her.
Immediately, she showed distress and hesitation.
The purchasing power of imperial gold coins is very strong. Although the Imperial Academy of Magic is free, it also provides subsidies and high scholarships to students, but learning magic is still a bottomless pit for which no amount of money is enough——
Looking at her white-washed magic robe, the girl knew that, even though her grades were perfect and she was admitted to Trinity College, after devoting grants, scholarships, and even most of her living expenses to those magical experiments she liked, life would still be pretty tight.
But Ashley Newton still decided to buy a copy of "New Arcane" for five gold coins.
