At noon the next day, Sean arrived in town on time.

From the outside, he looked no different from an ordinary tourist or fur businessman. He was wearing fur, fur, and empty-handed, and looked unthreatening.

But in secret, Sean prepared very well, with explosives, pistols, and rifles all in his pocket.

His sun divine power has returned to full state after yesterday afternoon and this morning's charging, and he can have a hard battle. In addition, he has the assistance of a group of reliable partners.

"You go in and prepare first, remember, if it is an enemy, I will throw the cup to the ground. Then you will do it directly, otherwise you will not be exposed." 1

Ragner and the hunters nodded and entered the tavern in groups of three or three.

Sean waited outside the door for a few minutes before he pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, he noticed the two men. Ragner was right, they did look a lot like some kind of ‘professional’.

The sound of opening the door also made the two of them notice Shaun at the door. The moment they saw Shaun, they were a little unbelievable at first, and then they showed a look of surprise.

It was a good sign that he didn't pull out the gun and shoot it as soon as possible. Sean thought of walking over, his left hand was in his pocket and his right hand was behind him, ready to take action at any time.

He walked directly to the two of them without taking a turn, and looked at them with a smile, "I heard you are looking for me?"

Sean noticed the wine tables around him, and the hunters turned their eyes to this side, hiding under the table, and the muzzles inside the coats were aimed intentionally or unintentionally.

This is my place! Sean thought to himself, if you really come to cause trouble, then I have to say that you are really stupid.

The uneasiness in his heart had completely disappeared, and all that was left was the confidence of a cat and a mouse.

"Yes," Henry said with a serious expression at Sean.

He reached into his arms, and the action almost triggered a gunfight, but when his hand escaped, he was holding a business card.

"First, let me introduce myself, Henry Butler, senior editor of Nathaniel National Press, this is Ben Albert, my assistant. It is my honor to meet you - the respected Mr. Forrest. In our press, your name is well-known."

Publisher? Editor? Sean was stunned. He thought about all kinds of possibilities, but he did not expect that the other party was sent by the publisher.

"What are you doing when you run to Nordfordson in the middle of winter? You can't come to me for a draft, right?"

"In fact, this is true. Our superiors gave us a task that must be completed. We hope to make a new book with Professor Sean and complete it according to our requirements. The remuneration is not a problem - but I still have something to explain in advance before starting the formal discussion - can I sign me?"

Henry said as he took out a book from his bag and handed it over. It was a hardcover version of "Thirty Thousand Miles Under the Sea", which seemed to be the latest version.

Sean took the book and he was a little amused and confused. He thought to himself that this was nothing, but he felt a little emotional. It was really a long time since no one had asked him to sign it.

He glanced at the cover of the book.

On the cover is a gloomy and deep sea. There is the outline of a small island in the distance of the sea, which is looming in the setting sun, looking very artistic.

Sean had some differences, he had never seen the cover of this version before, and looked at the back cover, published by Nathaniel National Press.

Suddenly I remembered something, "Wait a minute, I don't remember having authorized it to your publisher? Nathaniel National Press... aren't you from Brighton?"

The Republic of Nathaniel is an island city-state located on the ocean. The most famous country is its naval and technology, and is also one of Brighton's powerful business competitors. It is said that this country has no nobles and is a parliamentary country completely ruled by scholars. The supreme leader is the speaker.

At the same time, it has a very close business ties with Brighton. Since it is both an industrial civilization country affected by rational learning, the cultural industry exchanges between the two countries are also quite frequent.

"It is true, but our publishing house and the Bible Publishing House of Jianbao have held a cultural exchange activity in the past two years, translating each other's literature and scientific works from each other. Professor Sean's book "Thirty Thousand Miles Under the Sea" is also listed here.

In fact, it was already six months ago. The sales of this book were very popular, which caused great responses from citizens of our country. Especially the principle analysis of the Nautilus inside, which is amazing. Even some famous scientists in our country have published many papers on it to prove its feasibility."

All our citizens are eager to continue reading Professor Sean's scientific works, but unfortunately, most of Professor Sean's other works do not meet the needs, so the superior specially appointed and came to find Professor Sean to make an appointment in person."

Sean couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing this. Unexpectedly, the book he wrote a few years ago could still trigger such a craze.

He was both surprised and relieved. As an author, it was always exciting to be sought after by his works.

At the same time, he felt a little regretful. He was not in the mood to write any science fiction novels now.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I've been busy with various matters recently and haven't started writing for a long time."

Henry only regarded this as a means of increasing his value. Before he came, he had received a reminder from his fellow voyeurs publishing houses that Sean Forest is not the kind of literati who is ashamed of talking about money. He has high requirements for the remuneration of novels.

Every time I have to slap the publishing house a lot of money.

Fortunately, he was prepared for this.

"Sir, please do not refuse first. In order to show sincerity, the editor-in-chief gave me great authority, including the pricing of royalties. As long as Professor Sean is willing to accept this job, we can increase the royalties of this book to one thousand pounds - and this is only the basic royalties. If the number of distribution exceeds a certain amount, an additional royalty share can be provided.

As far as I know, none of Professor Sean’s books have achieved such gains in the past.”

Sean was a little surprised. These people really invested a lot. They spoke up and said a thousand gold list. This was quite a lot of money. If they had changed themselves, they would really not be able to agree immediately.

Unfortunately, he is worth up to 100,000 pounds now and doesn't want to waste this time. Besides, he still has the great cause of studying the art of summoning, and he can only talk about writing books later.

"Sorry, this is not a matter of money."

"Two thousand gold pounds."

"It's said that this is not a matter of money."

"So what about three thousand pounds? This is the maximum amount the company has given me. As far as I know, Mr. Sean has written books for almost ten years, so he probably has made so much."

Sean was a little confused. Although his works were best-selling, was it necessary to be so exaggerated? He spent so much money just to publish his own book...

He couldn't help but feel something was wrong. Although he was very confident in his works, this situation became a little strange.

The more this happens, the less he dares to agree.

"Sorry, I think what I said is very clear. This is really not a matter of money. I now have a higher level of pursuit, so I don't plan to waste time for money."

Henry stared at Sean's face, as if he wanted to find a flaw in Sean's face.

"Well, if Professor Sean said that, I can't say anything else, but there may be something else to impress you besides money."

He said as he reached into his arms and took out a small black box.

When I opened it, I saw a golden badge inside. The main body of the badge was the shape of a shield. In the middle of the shield was a closed eyes, and on both sides were decorative rose reliefs.

There are a few letters above the badge. Sean looked carefully and said it was written in imperial language.

He recognized this badge, which was the badge that the rational society represented the identity level.

"Are you people who have learned rationality?" he asked in surprise.

"Yes, we are members of the Society of Reasons - Nathaniel. Speaking of which, Professor Sean is also a member of the Society of Reasons, right?"

Sean nodded, "Honorary member, just named him."

"But Professor Sean applied to join, right?"

Sean did not deny that it would be beneficial to join such an influential academic organization. At the beginning, he also wanted to enjoy the cool under the big tree and applied to join. Unfortunately, although he had some influence, no one recommended him, so he only won the title of honorary member.

"Now Professor Sean has the opportunity to become a formal member. This badge was specially brought by the editor-in-chief. If Professor Sean is willing to complete this work for us, we are willing to introduce Mr. Sean to officially join the Society of Reason and directly become a member of the Wise Level."

Sean had learned before that the membership level of the Rational Learning is divided into five levels.

Scholars, wise men, philosophers, wise men, and prophets, the fewer the number of people upward. Even if they are just academic members, they can still enjoy great benefits. Therefore, almost everyone of the professors and assistant professors of Swordburgh University have applied to join, but unfortunately there are very few people who can pass the review.1

Now he can directly become a member of the wise man, which is equivalent to becoming the backbone of the rational society.
