Harvey signed his name on the contract.

Scott accepted the contract signed with Harvey's name and looked at him with envy: "Congratulations, Mr. Adrian, when "Norton Night" is published next week, it is estimated that you will be the youngest and most outstanding novelist in the kingdom. "The Count of Monte Cristo" will be a bold innovation in the history of fiction, and there is wisdom in every passage, and to be honest, if it were not for Monsieur Adrian in front of me, I would have liked to believe that "The Count of Monte Cristo" was written by a weathered scholar, but the plot does have the sharpness of a young man. ”

"Mr. Adams, you have a good reputation, and The Count of Monte Cristo is where it is today thanks to your help." Harvey was humble, and indeed his praise of Scott was not seen as praise for himself, but for the famous novelist Alexandre Dumas, who had made some money and fame by the hand of a giant.

Nowadays, mainstream classical literature does not regard revenge as a theme of fiction, no matter what the reason, it is necessary to package private feelings as righteousness! The Count of Monte Cristo's mere theme of revenge is more direct than anything else, which is what he calls sharpness.

Puran, who was sitting on the sofa, turned his head and sighed: "I should be glad that Mr. Evelyn gave me the hint at the beginning, otherwise I might have kicked away the biggest opportunity of my life, I dare not imagine how stupid such a decision is, I will definitely regret it." ”

Avery laughed, "Haha, Mr. Garcia has moved to a new place, how does it feel?" ”

Puran hurriedly replied with a respectful face, "It's all your credit, Baron, and our family is grateful that you can introduce us there, otherwise a poor man like me would not be qualified to rent there." ”

Avery stroked his palm and smiled: "With the current momentum of "The Count of Monte Cristo", once it is published in Norton, Mr. Garcia will be able to pay off the money for the purchase of that mansion in a lump sum, and my jewelry store can also rub the limelight for a while, oh~ Mr. Adrian, you won't mind if I use "The Count of Monte Cristo" to promote my jewelry store a little." ”

"Of course, it's my pleasure." Harvey replied with a smile.

The four of them chatted for a while, mainly Puran and Scott asked about the details of "The Count of Monte Cristo" and their plans for the future, it can be seen that Puran and Scott really like "The Count of Monte Cristo", Avery is also interested in literature, but his topic is more focused on the future, people in the social circle of Elroy basically know that he helped "The Count of Monte Cristo" be published, once "The Count of Monte Cristo" is on the front page of "Norton Night", he is almost equivalent to becoming Harvey's agent in the social world.

Harvey did want to do that, and they left the trouble to them, and when The Count of Monte Cristo was published, he was satisfied with the benefits he deserved, and he focused more on wanting to create new things.

In the middle of the night, after the party broke up, Harvey rode back to his mansion alone, he was quite happy, what kind of reward could he get on the day "Norton Night" was published!? Although "Norton Nights" was published in Norton, it will gradually be sold throughout the kingdom, and "The Count of Monte Cristo" must have more than one level of influence.

"Judging from the strength of my current mental power and the spells he has mastered, he is at best a low-level mage, barely able to master first-order spells, but because he has not been exposed to magic since he was a child, his knowledge about spellcasters is insufficient, and his too narrow knowledge also limits his room for improvement." Harvey crossed his hands and analyzed his current situation.

Before he knew it, the noise around him became quiet, and just as he was thinking, the carriage slowly stopped, and then Harvey heard the footsteps of the groom jumping to the ground and fleeing in a hurry.

He jerked open the black curtains in the carriage, and saw the groom running away, the carriage stopped in a remote area off the main road, near the river, and the building on the right was dilapidated and old, and it seemed that it was uninhabited.

The night is dark and the wind is high, and in the wilderness, what will happen is not to mention that Harvey also knows in his heart.

"Have you sinned against anyone recently, is it someone from the Elroy family?"

In an instant, Harvey realized his situation, and silently recited the incantation, and a transparent and cold poisonous snake quietly wrapped around his right hand.

The first-order spell [Negative Energy Viper], Harvey's main offensive spell.

Harvey is still confused about this spell, mainly because this spell is too strange, the negative energy that constitutes the viper has the property of dispersing all material structures, as long as it is touched, the so-called negative energy will erode the material structure, causing it to disintegrate and disintegrate, even the ball of light he created with [Small Miracle].

It's because of this peculiar trait that it becomes extremely troublesome to learn more about, and there is no doubt that this offensive spell is very powerful!

Harvey could hear his own heartbeat in the dim silence, he held his right hand and took a few deep breaths, this was the second time he felt danger in this world, his keen mental sense could smell the strange atmosphere around him, which he described as malice, and he also felt this uncomfortable malice from the handsome second son of the Elroy family.

His physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people, and he didn't get out of the carriage directly without timidity, and the continuous use of [Negative Energy Viper] is not a small loss to his spirit, and if it drags on for a long time, his situation will become quite bad.

Soon, a few people came out of the alley next to the dilapidated house, and they were all familiar faces.

"Mr. Lester, I think my arrears should have been paid off." Harvey squinted at Lester who came out of the shadows and said in a loud voice, with several muscular thugs with him. The transparent viper poked its head out of his sleeve, carefully guarding his surroundings, and it seemed to resemble some of the animal's defensive instincts.

"Yes, but it has nothing to do with the arrears, and unfortunately I should have given Mr. Adrian a hint that you don't seem to have figured out what was going on." Lester, a gentleman on crutches, walked out of the alley and said slowly with one hand on the brim of his hat.

Harvey pretended to be forced to calm down and hurriedly said, "You mean you warned me to be careful about the Elroy family?" I don't even understand where I offended them, what do you want to do, killing the rightful heir of a nobleman is a felony punishable by hanging! ”

"They'll take care of it, and now you don't need to know when you've offended them." Lester didn't intend to waste words with Harvey, and nodded to the strong man next to him and ordered: "Catch him, be careful not to cause obvious injuries." ”

One of the thugs laughed: "Look at him as thin as a stick, what can he do?" ”

"Boy, if you don't want to endure hardship, just obey."

"It's a matter of a few minutes, and you won't feel pain."

Three strong men with hideous faces stepped forward and were about to reach out and grab Harvey.

- It's really quite a thug-style line.

Harvey laughed at his own humor in the dangerous environment, and silently put the illusion crystal in his hand into his pocket, and Lester acted decisively and seemed to have no more information. Uninduced, Harvey very decisively manipulated the negative energy viper to fly towards the strong man who pounced on him, and the transparent viper could not be found, passing directly through the hearts of the three strong men, like an illusory image, without any sense of obstruction.

"Huh?"

"You!! You you!! What did you do? ”

The brawny men who stepped forward felt a chill in their chests, and then their bodies fell to the ground out of control, looking at each other with frightened eyes, completely unaware of what was happening. They saw the strangest thing in their lives, their companion's chest as if it was being burned by fire, their clothes and flesh turned to ashes, and the thug's face contorted with pain, but they could only watch in fear as their companion's body was swallowed by strange energy.

"Ahhhh

"Ahhh Damn, stop it! ”

"Help me!"

"Ah~ What is this!? It hurts! ”

The screams of despair lasted less than ten seconds before they ended, the negative energy corroding their throats, and they finally let out a faint snort. Harvey's compassion was not so much as to give it to the enemies who wanted to kill him, and before their heads turned to ashes, a ball of light condensed to illuminate the purgatory-like scene around him, and he looked at the solemn Lester and said calmly, "Now Mr. Lester may be able to tell me why." ”

"You're a spellcaster!" Lester's face changed drastically and he lost his voice, this was more troublesome than the status of a nobleman, completely beyond his control.
