The new ones continued to sell out of stock for more than a week, and from morning to night, there was not a moment when there was no queue at the door of the bookstore, and the publishing house run by Puran became famous and profitable, and completely established its position in the publishing industry in the city of Elroy, and at the same time, the first volume of "The Dark Age" was officially sold in Norton.

The reviews are mixed, and most of them are biased towards the good side, especially by young people. For those who love adventure, there's no better story than Dark Age, satisfying their thirst for adventure and curiosity about the outside world.

Bad evaluations mostly come from factions that adhere to tradition, the revenge melody of "The Count of Monte Cristo" has made many families feel deviant, and "Dark Age" is beyond their understanding.

They didn't have another layer of caster identity, and they couldn't figure out how Harvey could have written such a miraculous effect.

Alchemy Workshop

Harvey put on a gas mask and carefully mixed different liquids together, and after a while, the liquid solidified to form a small amount of white powder, seeing this, Harvey breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to himself with a wry smile: "I didn't think that I, a former liberal arts student, would also have to study chemical formulas." ”

Now the alchemy workshop has almost become a chemical laboratory, full of bottles and cans of strange colors of liquids and solids, which are the experimental materials of Harvey, who is studying the world's film-making process. Because some of the earth's elements are simply not found here, Harvey needs to find chemical raw materials again, read countless modern photography books, and after countless failures, he finally uses the alchemy workshop to make similar photosensitive materials.

Harvey mixed multiple materials together and processed them using an enchantment table, and soon a translucent film was made.

The film was put into a strange facility for testing.

After more than a month of research results, Harvey found a way to make film that belongs to this world, the production process of film is relatively complex, and it is difficult to put it into use for the time being, but with photographic crystals, the role of film is dispensable.

"Zizizi~"

While waiting for the results, a strange sound came from the drawer-sized metal box next to Harvey, and he lifted the lid and took out a brightly colored photo from inside, and Harvey finally smiled with satisfaction as he checked the details of the photo.

Photo processing technology is much more practical, Harvey abandoned the traditional photo processing mode, towards the field of laser printing technology research, research is not as complex as imagined, there is a similar principle of [development] in the spell of the change system, grasp this idea of research, finally make the laser printing device in front of Harvey's eyes, the magic array engraved inside is not complicated, it is easy to achieve commercialization.

Harvey finished his experiments and came out of the Mage's Tower to see Diana sitting on the couch flipping through his "Dark Age", she had only recently come into contact with this book, and there were so many contents that it was worth savoring again and again, and she hadn't read half of it for a week.

Shirley's dress has changed a lot, and now she is wearing a white light gauze long skirt, the skirt seems to be draped together by countless layers of light gauze, the skirt is looser, and the upper body is a slim design of the dress, with the effect of a corset, the willow waist is more slender and soft, of course, there is no excessive pursuit of the thin waist effect, and the temperament is simple and elegant.

The study has been the entrance and exit of the Mage Tower after the Shirley demonization incident, and there is nothing that Diana will not sit here.

Diana saw that the secret door to the Mage's Tower was opened, and Rouyi, who was wearing snow-white gloves, put down the bookmark and closed it, stood up and picked up the documents on the table and showed them to Harvey: "Harvey, this is the bank transfer document sent by Mr. Puran in the morning. ”

Harvey took it and flipped through it, the content of the document was very detailed, there were records of how many copies were sold, Harvey as the author could get thirty percent of the net profit of "Dark Age", and more than 400,000 barrons were remitted to his bank account this week, and Harvey was already thinking in his heart how much magic materials could be exchanged for these money.

Harvey nodded, put down the file and muttered, "Diana, please contact William, just say that I have something important to find him." ”

Diana's calm expression showed a little curiosity: "What happened?" ”

Harvey smiled and explained: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I found the right photosensitive materials and photo development technology, which are some props used with photographic crystals, and have a lot of commercial prospects." ”

"I'm still working on weird things, how is the writing?"

“？”

Diana picked up "Dark Age" on the table and gestured, "I mean the second part." ”

"Why do you say this all of a sudden?"

"Didn't you read Norton's newspaper, I said you, even if you are addicted to experiments, you still take half an hour to read the newspaper to understand current affairs." Diana hugged her waist and pinched her chin with one hand.

Harvey laughed dryly: "And then? ”

Diana's expression became grim: "Your Bauhinia Award and "Dark Age" have a lot of controversy in the Norton literary world, and then the new issue of "Norton Night" completely exacerbates the conflict, and now you and Count Henrietta are regarded as heretics in the literary world, but this will not have any real impact on your status, no matter how much people in the social world are chasing you, "Dark Age" is also popular." ”

"Do you think Dark Age is good?"

"It's good, and I want to read it." Diana nodded, saw Harvey smile smug and snorted: "Don't be too happy, don't forget that you are the author of "The Count of Monte Cristo", and now I don't think you can surpass "The Count of Monte Cristo." ”

Harvey touched his chin and smiled: "Yes, I'm quite confident in this one, and these two are not the same type at all, there is no such thing as super-exceeding, I can finish it anytime, I'm waiting for Shirley to finish drawing the illustration." ”

Diana lifted her chin as she understood what Harvey meant.

She affirmed "Dark Age" much more than she said, especially the narrative of "Dark Age" especially surprised her, not like the ordinary linear development, like a diorama, very complex to understand, but read without hindrance and without confusing the reader, Shirley's illustrations play a big role.

Somehow, Diana felt some unhappiness and loss in her heart, since that night her attitude towards Shirley has completely changed, she used to be a friend, but now she is lukewarm, Shirley has also apologized to her, but Diana has always had a grudge.

Shirley can help Harvey, but she can't do anything, and Harvey doesn't ask for her opinion anymore.
