There is neither happiness nor pain in the world, only the comparison of one condition with another, and that's it. Only those who have faced misfortune first-hand can experience the greatest happiness. Morel, we must experience the pain of death in order to experience the joy of life.

So, my beloved children, enjoy the joy of life! Never forget that until the day when God reveals the future destiny of man, all human wisdom is contained in these four words: "Wait" and "Hope".

Your friend, the Count of Monte Cristo, Edmond Dantès.

······

Harvey was filled with emotion when he wrote the last sentence of "The Count of Monte Cristo", and it was not until he consciously revisited this work that he felt the greatness of this work, even though it was a popular novel, it was full of life philosophy. After being wrongfully imprisoned and meeting Father Faria, and exercising the power of revenge after repaying his kindness, the life of the Count of Monte Cristo was undoubtedly a rough and uneasy one, as he said, "All human wisdom is contained in these four words: "Wait" and "Hope." ”

This phrase runs through the life of the Count of Monte Cristo, who was desperate, crazy, and finally redeemed in revenge. Harvey witnessed the bright future of Captain Edmond Dantès become prisoner No. 34, and in despair incarnated as the Count of Monte Cristo, and saw all the experiences of the Count of Monte Cristo, Harvey's heart was shaken by these words, and he woke up like an enlightenment.

It was just a simple sentence in the letter, but it was comparable to a million thunderous sounds, and more sonorous and powerful than the earth-breaking sound.

"Sure enough, it's a classic, and even if I revisit the novel, I won't be naturally infected by the emotions in the novel." After finishing "The Count of Monte Cristo", Harvey, who felt empty in his heart, let out a long breath and muttered to himself, his eyes moistened slightly, and his heart applauded the wonderful life of Edmond Dantès countless times.

He is not the real author, and only the end of such a book will make him feel lost.

Harvey sorted out the original manuscript of the novel, cast a spell and used [Tiny Miracle] to make two copies of each, the real original manuscript was given to Diana, who helped him through the difficult situation, he kept one for himself, and one for his reviewer, Pullan, who almost saw the scene of "The Count of Monte Cristo" causing a sensation in the city of Elroy. The content of the second half of the novel is more than a little more exciting than the first half, the first half of the book can only be regarded as innovative and wonderful at best, and the content of the second half of the book is more substantial, and at the same time gives the soul of the whole work to make it qualitative change and sublimation.

Readers may applaud the wonderful plot after reading the first half of the book, just like Harvey feels happy when he reads a web novel.

But when the content of the second half of the book makes readers attracted by the wonderful plot, they will also feel the core idea of this work and experience the shocking philosophy that can be expressed in those words! It is not a warning to the reader from a high place, but through the development of the plot, the whole story, and the life of a character.

······

In the evening, Harvey sent a copy of the original novel to the reviewer Puran, and he took one with him and invited Diana to dinner. The invitation was sent the day before yesterday, and Diana replied that night, apparently not interested in the banquet held by the second son of the Elroy family. Harvey wasn't interested in it, but as a normal man, he couldn't tolerate others digging into the wall.

He waited for a long time in the high-end restaurant he had made an appointment, and Diana arrived on time, still dressed in a standard British school uniform, which was incompatible with the high-end environment of the restaurant, and that arrogant and confident posture eliminated this sense of disparity.

"Good evening, Miss Cromwell, I thought you would come over in a change of clothes." Harvey stood up and pulled out a chair for her and couldn't help but laugh, Diana is not an uninteresting type, how can she change into a high-grade dress to show respect when eating in a high-end restaurant.

Diana sat down peacefully and explained helplessly: "I'm sorry, I only have school uniforms to wear now, and the previous clothes didn't fit well." ”

Harvey looked at her in surprise, as if the words had come from the mouth of a great merchant's daughter.

"I don't care, isn't there a banquet held in your school today, you don't plan to attend?"

Diana's heroic sword eyebrows frowned: "I don't like the lively environment so much. Seeing a folder in front of Harvey, she relaxed a little and asked, "Are these the new original novels of The Count of Monte Cristo?" ”

"Well, the second half of The Count of Monte Cristo is all in its contents, but the illustration part is not finished yet."

"So fast?" Diana asked with a look of surprise that it had been less than a month since the first half of The Count of Monte Cristo had been published, and she had thought that it would be at least three months before she could see the second half.

"You also know the current situation of The Count of Monte Cristo, which was banned by Leonard Publishing House and cannot be sold in regular bookstores, and if you want to break this situation, you must maintain the popularity of the novel, and I used some extraordinary means to write the novel and speed up the progress."

Diana didn't understand what Harvey was talking about, and asked with a slightly gloomy expression, "Mr. Adrian, have you found someone to ghostwrite?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, it's not about asking someone to write for you." Harvey smiled and whispered a few bizarre syllables, and the folder in front of him floated slightly to Diana, and the words written in ink appeared on the folder: "To Diana." ”

Harvey clasped his hands and smiled and replied: "You know that the Adrian family once had a spellcaster, and I inherited the caster's bloodline, and I am also a half-spellcaster, which is almost as you can see, and specific spells can greatly shorten the creation time." ”

Spell!

Seeing this scene, Diana was naturally surprised, the Adrian family was indeed famous as a spellcaster, but Harvey's ability to use spells was much more than she expected, she looked at Harvey with a cautious gaze: "I didn't even know you could spell." ”

The spellcaster is a formidable existence in the eyes of ordinary people, and Diana thinks the same, and at this moment Harvey has become extremely strange in her eyes, looking at his face how can not be associated with the frivolous image half a year ago.

"Everyone has their own secrets, but I was surprised that you didn't have the right dress when you came here."

"I rarely participate in social activities, and since I was in college, I have stopped relying on family funding." Diana said frankly, there is still a sentence that has not been said, that is, these are all preparations for breaking away from the family, and the original intention was to keep herself from marrying Harvey Adrian.

He raised his eyebrows: "The money you gave me before was also earned by yourself?" ”

"No, that's the money I got from selling the jewelry my mother left me."

Harvey: "······"

He laughed dryly, but he knew that Diana's mother had died, and he didn't intend to continue on this heavy topic, so he asked in a solemn tone: "Miss Cromwell, I actually have a question for you to invite you to dinner this time, do you know Kathy Elroy, the second son of the Elroy family?" He is the author of Wild Roses. ”

Diana pinched her delicate chin and considered: "Acquaintance, it's just not familiar, and I occasionally encounter it in some elective courses." ”

"You told him about me?"

Diana clasped her hands and looked at him sarcastically like an idiot, "Mr. Adrian, do you think a woman would mention her dishonorable fiancé in front of outsiders?" ”

"Uh." Harvey laughed dryly, and was about to take the blame for Harvey Adrian, now that he was sure that that Kathy must be hostile to him, and that the root of the problem was his relationship with Diana.
