amazing magic

Chapter 94. 93. The Rich Author Fee

Hank's home is a little far away, not in the urban area, but in a rural area on the edge of the urban area.

When he was carefully avoiding snowdrifts on the front of his bicycle, Lin An in the back seat could only helplessly grab the bracket under the seat, trying to learn to apparate again.

"It's a little far away, isn't it?"

Hank's voice was carried in the wind: "However, you should be glad that you can still ride a bicycle during this section of the road. If we go further, we can only walk."

"It's ok!"

Lin An also put aside her reserve and demeanor, and also shouted loudly. After all, although the snow had stopped, the wind was still blowing bitterly. If she hadn't used a magic spell to cover it a little, her face would be chapped right now. .

Fortunately, about an hour later, the two arrived at Hank's door.

It is said to be a rural place, but it actually looks pretty good-green lawns, big yards, and red-roofed villas, neatly arranged.

If it is placed in China 30 years later, many people will be envious.

But in fact, the law and order here is terrible.For example, Hanke once told Lin An eloquently about his heroic deeds of subduing a gangster who held a knife and robbed and squatted in front of his house at night...

This made Lin An realize that he was covered in white sweat, so he painted his face even worse that night.

Moreover, according to Hank, there are two old shotguns at home, and his mother is very accurate with marksmanship. Occasionally, when the mood comes, she will drive the family car to hunt in the forest.

Accurate marksmanship...

Lin An thought numbly: After staying in the ivory tower of Hogwarts for a long time, she even forgot how miserable the life outside is.

Of course, this kind of thing doesn't happen every day, but once in a few years, it's enough to make people worry.

Hank pushed open the fence gate, put the bicycle on the lawn at random, and then shouted loudly:
"Hey Mom, I told you about my very talented friend, and she's here today!"

However, he called again, but no sound was heard.

Pushing open the door, Hank walked around the room twice, and finally shrugged helplessly: "I probably took Julie to see a doctor."

"Julie is..."

"My puppy. The past two days have eaten less than usual. I think it's because it's snowing and he hasn't exercised much, but my mother still thinks I should go and have a look."

As Hank spoke, he opened a door next to him.However, as far as the eye can see, it is the bed that is as messy as a pig's nest. There are not only magazines, clothes, and even potato chip bags and messy residue on it——

Lin An cast his eyes over, only to see Hank dodging quickly, closing the door with a "bang", and then said loudly:
"I'm sorry...you have a lot of these things. I'll tidy them up a little bit. There is tea on the table—well, if there is tea, you can pour it yourself."

Ok.

Lin An also sighed.

It's not a good thing for a pretty young girl to follow a guy who doesn't know much about his home.

However, being a witch is quite convenient.

Especially wandless magic, it is even difficult for the Ministry of Magic to confirm who it is, which is much cheaper than changing a wand.

Look at the layout of this room—it is a very warm living room, not too big, but very neat.The blue sofa is covered with blankets woven with orange wool, and there are burning firewood in the fireplace, which makes people feel warm and bright at a glance.

It seems that Hank's mother is very good at life, no wonder she can raise a boy like him...

"boom!"

There was the sound of things hitting the ground in Hank's room, as well as his uncontrollable cries of pain.

Then there was another bang.

Fortunately, after a while, he finally hugged his things in a concealed manner, and hastily closed the door again.

When I turned around, I couldn't hold it in my arms, and the top gift box fell to the ground, making a "clang" sound!
He quickly squatted down to pick it up, and then dropped more things...

Lin An couldn't help but "puchi" smiled: "It's okay, isn't there a carpet here? Let's just look here."

She said and sat down first.

Only then did Hank heave a sigh of relief, then simply pushed the thing in front of her, and also sat down with his ass:

"Look, it's all yours. These are the manuscript replies you want me to send out regularly, and there are about your manuscript fees in them, but I haven't opened them."

Speaking of this, he looked at Lin An enviously: "You are amazing. I mean, so many newspapers have given you generous royalties, will you have to publish a book in a few years? Thank God there is a school that allows you I am willing to let you study, otherwise it would be a waste of talent."

Lin An blushed a little.

The contributions to these newspapers were all made up by her in order to earn money. She combined the weekly gossip magazines she had heard, seen and read in her previous life, as well as celebrity secrets.

It is also fortunate that the masses today have not received too many similar bombings, which allows her to earn a little living expenses in the cracks.

She gathered all the envelopes first, followed by a thick stack of newspapers and two or three magazines.

At the end there was a taller pile of gift boxes, tied with beautiful ribbons.

She was a little curious: "What is this?"

"You forgot!" Hank looked at her: "There are Sudoku games on every page of the "Metor" newspaper. I remember you solved 7 pages in a row and sent them over."

"However, its efficiency is too low, so the presents are only sent after you go to school."

This was a real surprise.

Lin An wished he could take another stack of newspapers and read them -- no matter how small the wool is, it must be squeezed!
Moreover, who would have thought that this was what she used to pass the time when she was really bored under the bridge hole?

Look at other newspapers——[The Sun "The Sun"]

【Daily Mail】

As well as two gossip magazines with color pages, they are also very thick piles, which can be taken back to school to read slowly.

In the end, she opened the stack of envelopes in her hand, which were thick, and it did not disappoint her.

For those articles and stories, the manuscript fee ranged from £5 to £230. After careful counting, it was a full £1137!

There was even a sincere enough continuation invitation attached to the letter.

In 1991, the journal submissions really made a lot of money!
Lin An was really surprised, and even Hank was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear: "God! You really..."

He racked his brains, but in the end he could only smile foolishly, the freckles on his cheeks became more active: "You are amazing."

There was only surprise and admiration in his pure eyes, but no greed.

Lin An's heart moved, and he took out 200 pounds from the stack of money at this moment, and smiled at him:

"Of course our friendship can't be measured by money. However, I heard that big stars give commissions to their agents—I'm not a big star yet, but maybe you can treat me as one? You know, except you Besides, I have no other friends to be agents."

　It's a lot of words again!

　　Celebrities and managers: It's just a metaphor, Lin An made such a wisecrack because he was afraid that Hanke would not accept money.

　　The older the article, the more valuable it is...

　　These three newspapers are magazine tabloids with a large circulation in the UK, covering everything.
