Chapter 204: The Future: Mystery

A phantom from three hundred years ago.

Three hundred years, three centuries, is equal to three times the life expectancy of ordinary people, is there really a work that can span three hundred years to make the audience feel satisfied in the world that has entered a new era?

Triss had read in history books about the Count of Monte Cristo movie, which was said to have caused a seismic sensation in the kingdom at the time, and countries rushed to introduce the technology. Phantoms are not a rare thing nowadays, there are ordinary phantoms, there are sensory simulation phantoms that can make the audience truly "immersive", and spiritual phantoms, which are relatively high-end phantoms, and the ticket price is relatively expensive, usually let the audience sleep in a specific place first, and guide their spirit into a fictional mental space, where the audience can freely choose different visions to watch the phantom.

Triss doesn't think that the apparitions of 300 years ago can cross this huge time gap, cultural differences, and the audience's own aesthetic judgment.

"It's going to start, and it's going to feel very comfortable the first time you look at this shot." Esther looked at the phantom's screen with a look of fascination.

The sound of the sea breeze blowing, mixed with the shouts of seagulls, half of the sunset is submerged in the water, and the sea water laps against the wooden sailboat, and the camera moves up to a young man, standing at the bow of the boat, leaning on the railing with his hands on the railing and looking into the distance, with a casual chuckle on the corner of his mouth.

This is Harvey Adrian!?

Triss recognized the young man's identity at a glance, but felt that she was very different from the textbook.

The plot developed as she had seen, and to her surprise, "The Count of Monte Cristo" did not have the visual perception of a modern phantom, but the extremely comfortable cinematography style and exquisite use of lenses could always bring her into that world, this phantom did not have the stiff and frivolous style of early phantoms, and it was not at all like the work of that era.

"This long shot was not cut in any way, and no stand-ins were used, and Mr. Adrian conquered me with this lens." Esther couldn't help but talk while watching the movie, as if she wanted to confide in her troubles all along.

It didn't take long for Triss to see Diana Cromwell, a good-looking girl, and for some reason it always felt a little familiar to see her.

There's a strange idea in Triss's head, Diana looks about her age, and in modern times, Harvey Adrian, who married her, would be punished by the law.

"You're very similar, especially the look of no one to enter." Next to her, Esther chuckled and commented.

Triss said displeasedly, "I don't think I'm arrogant. ”

Esther looked at her with a smirk: "To say this is the greatest arrogance. ”

Two hours is neither long nor short, and Triss has to admit that she was so fascinated by the oldest apparition that she didn't even realize the passage of time, which was rare for her who didn't like to see apparitions to pass the time.

The phantom faithfully restored everything, no, perhaps it should be said to be a sublimation.

After seeing the apparitions, Triss began to ask Esther about the era and express her doubts about the subject of her research.

"Ah, that's it, as a reward for you to accompany me to see the phantom, I'll tell you for free." Esther stretched and stood up: "This matter has long been considered an open secret, but ordinary people really have no way to know about it, and one day, the Kingdom of Barron suddenly exploded into classics one after another. ”

Triss added: "Yes, and then I couldn't find any information about the work other than the author's name. ”

"Come with me."

Esther led her to another bookshelf, on which fourteen books were neatly arranged.

"Are those fourteen really related to Harvey Adrian?"

Esther smiled, took out one of the books, flipped to one of the characters' meaningless words, and asked, "Can you read it?" ”

Triss shook her head blankly.

"Quite simply, at first glance this is just a meaningless line for a madman, but if you use the Beavis code to parse the first and second letters of each word, you will get the corresponding hundred to thousand digits, if it is a percentage, the first digit represents the work number, the last two digits represent the number of pages, if it is a thousand digits, the first two digits represent the book number, and the last two digits are also the number of pages of the book."

"Find the hidden clues of each book according to this code, put them together and transform them into the identification sequence of the star text, and you will get a sentence [Author: Harvey Adrian]."

Triss was stunned for a moment, and under Esther's guidance, she did come to this conclusion by piecing together all the book information, and asked in a daze: "These works that caused a sensation in the kingdom's literary world at that time were all made by one person!?" ”

"Not only that, but it was written by the Harvey Adrian over the course of one night, and it was recorded in the secret diary of the Count of Henrietta."

"Why hasn't anyone found out for so long?"

"Because no one has discovered from the beginning, with the passage of time there are copies of each work, plus some translations, but in a few decades, the works we see are no longer the first edition, even if there is a word missing when printed, or the specifications are different, the clues in this will only become meaningless words, and the truth can be found out entirely because the descendants of the Count of Henrietta donated his diary, that is to say, these books are the first editions that were collected later."

Writing fourteen books in one night, each of which was a classic work in the literary world at the time, adding up to a total of more than seven million words, was it really possible in that era?

Even in the current era, it is difficult for a spellcaster with a spell network to assist in the creation of a million words in one night, unless it is a title-level spellcaster, and only a caster of this level has such a strong spiritual power, and the spell caster continues to create words, but a spellcaster with such a strong spirit does not necessarily have creative talent.

One person, in one night, promoted the progress of the literary world of a kingdom, to say the least, shortened the process of literary development by more than half a century!

Absurd!

Ridiculous!

Triss felt that the walls that had built her three views were rapidly crumbling, and she wondered if she was living in a false world.

Esther put the book back and yawned and said, "The conclusion is that Harvey Adrian created these works entirely to help the then Count Henrietta become the president of the Literary Society at that time, don't talk about it, after all, it is a scandal that is not a scandal of the Henrietta family." ”

Triss sighed: "Since I have reached a conclusion and it is not the result of my personal excavation, then I have no need to publish it, but, Teacher Esther..."

"Please."

"What kind of person is Harvey Adrian?"

Esther looked around and shook her head: "It's all about him here, the mystery of Harvey Adrian is like that splendid era, different people can find completely different conclusions, if you want to know, you are always welcome here, after all, you are the princess of the Cromwell family, sooner or later you will have to contact these." ”

"My research project is over." Triss stared at the cover of the bookshelf in distraction, not knowing what she was thinking, and the corners of her mouth curled again: "The new topic has not been decided yet." ”

In order to understand that era, she also needs to continue to research what role Harvey Adrian played in that era.
