Chapter 188: Comic Strips
In the alchemy workshop, Harvey, who was holding a basketball-sized construction core crystal, sneezed for no reason, and the construction core crystal in his hand almost fell to the ground.
A few days ago, Harvey dismantled the constructed creature he bought to obtain this core crystal, and handed it over to the diamond fairy Helen for safekeeping because of the lack of [Construct Enlightenment]. In order to pay Harvey for making the game, the gem elves allowed the crystal to be buried in their castle to absorb the power of the leylines, and as a result, the core crystal that was originally less than the size of a fist grew into the size of a basketball today, and the crystal was even more pure.
"The Arcane Contribution Points I have are enough to buy [Constructing Enlightenment], but I don't have time." Harvey sighed with some regret and put this precious high-level construction core crystal in the material warehouse for safekeeping. The Core Crystal can hold more information, and it can also be intelligentized by using [Constructing Enlightenment], and its power is undeniable.
"Helen, what did you just say?" Harvey looked at Helen, the diamond fairy standing on the table with a restrained face, and his beautiful little face was full of embarrassment.
Diamond Fairy Helen bit her thin lip and said apologetically: "Harvey, I'm sorry, there is a game crystal that was brought to this world by the goblin. โ
"What's going on?"
"During the argument, a working elf hugged the metal box where the game crystal was placed, and was summoned to the present world by the contractor along with the metal box." As she spoke, Helen's little face flushed with shame.
Harvey stretched out his index finger and rubbed the diamond fairy's colorful hair and comforted, "It's an accident, isn't it?" So I don't have to put on this expression, not to mention that game crystals are not a valuable thing, and I can always make more if I don't have enough. โ
Helen jumped from Harvey's arm to his shoulder, kissed Harvey on the cheek, looked relaxed and said softly: "Thank you, I'm afraid it will cause Harvey some trouble." โ
"It's just a game crystal, what trouble can it cause me." Harvey smiled indifferently, got up and walked to the workbench, took out a high-quality diamond and handed it to Helen: "You go teach Lily to sing, I'm going to go outside." โ
"Hmm."

Harvey's animation of "Frozen" is not just an animation, Lily is still practicing how to sing "Let It Go", the Kraken's voice is very peculiar, Lily usually speaks with a milky and crisp Lori voice, but when she sings, she can adjust her voice according to the content of the song.
Lily's singing of "Let It Go" is very close to the original song, but there is a fatal flaw, the singing lacks emotional investment, and she can't feel the urge to break through all shackles and liberate herself as the lyrics say.
Harvey knew why, in Lily's eyes, it was a strange song, and she had never felt all the emotions that Anna felt in Frozen.
What Harvey plans to do for this is also to warm up for the broadcast of "Frozen".
The essence of the theme of "Frozen" is no different from the story of the princess and prince in the fairy tale who is happy, although it is not suitable for writing, but it can be made into a comic book.
Children may not be interested in words, but they certainly have no resistance to beautiful illustrations and wonderful storytelling.
And the best person to draw a comic strip is none other than Harvey's royal artist, Shirley.
The interior of the quiet studio is simply decorated, and there is no furniture in the spacious room except for some special props for painting, and the windows are slightly open, blowing in a cool breeze, leisurely and quiet.
Harvey stood behind Shirley and admired the magnificent illustrations that Shirley had constructed, and said after explaining his thoughts: "That's it, Shirley, you stop drawing illustrations for Dark Age for the time being. โ
Shirley's level of illustration is far beyond Harvey's expectations, and it is not inferior to those tentacle monster-level painters in later generations, and can always find the focus that Harvey wants, perhaps it is Harvey's illusion, since Shirley's painting skills have been fused with the succubus personality, and many places have been able to draw independently and draw their own style.
"Sir, what do you mean by comic strips?" Shirley sat in front of the drawing board, put down the drawing pen and tilted her head and asked suspiciously.
Although there are some picture books in this era, they are only circulated among the people, and they are far from being on the stage and recognized by society.
"Well~ how to explain it, it is the opposite existence of "The Count of Monte Cristo" that we created together."
"On the contrary?"
Harvey came to Shirley's side and held the brush and explained: "Yes, "The Count of Monte Cristo" is based on content and illustrations as the secondary body, and your illustrations play a vital role, which can make the character setting fuller and allow readers to have more room for association." The so-called comic book is the opposite, with the painting as the main body and the text content as the auxiliary, this is your work. โ
Listening to Harvey's words, Shirley's delicate eyes couldn't help but widen slightly, and then dimmed, and leaned on Harvey's shoulder and said apologetically: "Master, I feel a little weak just by drawing your illustrations, how can I complete your lofty vision?" โ
"You can." Harvey was categorical, looking at Shirley's worried and hurried appearance, and smiled: "Don't worry, it's not as difficult as you imagined, I will help you draw the storyboard of the comic strip, that is, the general content, you just need to follow along as usual." There are still some vacant rooms on the first floor, and I'll ask William to arrange for some skilled painters to come and set up a studio, so that your burden will be much lighter. โ
"Well, I'll listen to the master's arrangement." Shirley smiled lightly, Harvey was so sure she knew there was no room for objections.
Harvey added: "By the way, just tell me if you have any opinions, and this time you are the main writer, which means that you are the real author." โ
"Master, you know that this means nothing to me, as long as I can draw by your side, and besides, this story was also created by my master, and signing my name will only make me ashamed." Shirley looked embarrassed.
Harvey smiled dumbly: "Then write the names of the two of us, after all, you are the main writer." โ
"Hmm." Shirley's delicate and gentle little face looked even happier.
After a while, Harvey went to the [Endless Library] to find information about comics and comics, there is no comic book in this era, if you leave it all to Shirley to draw and estimate, even how to conceive the plot is a big problem, people who can draw are not necessarily good at comic books, and artists and comic book artists are completely different professions.
