As the research results of the illusion crystal became more and more obvious, Harvey almost lived in the [Alchemy Workshop], immersed himself in research day and night, fiddling with instruments, and meditating and resting for a while when he was tired. Most of the illusion crystals that Kenneth sold him had to be consumed during research, and the instability of the magic array would directly affect the crystal material itself, causing the crystal to crack and the blue light mineral element contained in it to dissipate.

Time has passed for another few more weeks, illusion crystals, no! The research named by Harvey as a photographic crystal was officially completed, integrating photography and projection functions, and the pixels of the picture are not inferior to modern professional photographic equipment.

"Finally took the first step, and now it's time to contact the Brenda Theatre Troupe to talk about making a movie... Hmmm... Phantom thing. Harvey looked at the illusion crystal in his hand and muttered excitedly, and there was an open wooden box next to it, and the internal space of the wooden box was inlaid with a lens, which was a device to help the photographic crystal shoot a clearer picture, and the actual function was no different from the lens of the camera.

Photography crystals can still be taken without these installations, but the imaging clarity is the gap between SD and 1080P, and it is not even as good as the original semi-finished illusion crystal with photographic functions.

The principle of photography is illusion crystal, which has nothing to do with the movie, and Harvey simply and rudely renamed the film Phantom, which means the image created using illusion.

During this time, the national sales profit dividends of "The Count of Monte Cristo" have been delivered, and "The Count of Monte Cristo" has sold hundreds of thousands of copies nationwide, creating a history of the first sales of books in the Kingdom of Barron, and even throwing the second place several times over. "The Count of Monte Cristo" in a sense creates a new era of literature, which takes into account both literary and entertainment in itself, and anyone can understand it and watch it with relish, and the sales volume naturally cannot be compared with esoteric and difficult classical literature.

Harvey received hundreds of thousands of balun pounds in dividends this month, paid off his debts to buy diamond raw materials from the jeweller Avory, and left more than 200,000 balun pounds enough for him to splurge or hire a theater troupe to make a film for him.

······

Jared Evan, the heir to the drama theater, received a call from Harvey after a long absence.

"I see, then I'll go and make arrangements, Mr. Brenda must be happy to meet with the most brilliant novelist in the kingdom right now, and the time will be arranged for these two days."

"Oh! Can I be there then? ”

"Well, I don't know what you're trying to do, but I'm glad you still remember me as a friend."

Jared hung up Harvey's phone with a complicated expression, he suddenly found that the existence of this good friend had become very strange, was Harvey Adrian originally such a person? The tone of conversation with Harvey is no longer as relaxed as before, more like talking to a superior person.

I haven't seen him for a while, Harvey has gone from a playboy who only pleases some women to the most well-known novelist in the entire kingdom, "The Count of Monte Cristo" is sought after by the literary community of the Kingdom of Barron, and even the social world is all over the shadow of this novel under a series of chain reactions, people will think of "The Count of Monte Cristo" when talking about literary works, and the literary association and the royal family in the capital Norton are ready to award a special medal to Alexander, the author of "The Count of Monte Cristo".

Now Harvey's potential social status is something that even the Elroy family doesn't dare to provoke easily.

It's just that compared to "The Count of Monte Cristo", people rarely talk about Alexander, that is, Harvey, because Harvey, as the author, is too low-key, except for one newspaper exposure, he has not even participated in a social event, only the social community in the city of Elroy has a small number of rumors about Harvey, and most readers only know that Alexander is a young man.

Harvey had just called him and asked him to invite Maxwell Brenda, the manager of the Brenda Theatre Company, to have a dinner with him, and that he, as the son of the owner of the theatre troupe, could also attend the dinner himself.

He shook his head and put his complicated thoughts behind him, he was sure that Harvey asked him to invite the director of the theater troupe to dinner to discuss serious matters, and the thought of letting him participate in this dinner party, Jared's eyes lit up, and he had a vague conjecture in his heart: "Do you want to make "The Count of Monte Cristo" into a play?" That's fine! When the time comes, even the nobles of Norton will come here to watch in person! If he single-handedly contributed to this matter, the family would definitely no longer have complaints about his inheritance of the drama theater! ”

The El family is a big family, and the drama theater is the lifeblood of the family's economy, although Jared is the eldest son of the family, he is not trusted because of his frivolous style, and the actual situation is that Jared can't refute it, if most of the family is against it, he will lose the right to inherit, and without wealth, what qualifications does he have to hook up with courtesans in the social world.

At that moment, he hurried to the drama theater himself, he was half the owner of the theater, and the staff and the people of the Brenda theater knew him, and when he said that he wanted to discuss an important matter with Mr. Brenda, he was soon received.

After listening to Jared's explanation, Maxwell, the owner of the theater troupe, stood up in surprise: "Mr. Evan, do you mean that Mr. Alexander, the author of "The Count of Monte Cristo", wants to meet me?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Brenda, why are you so surprised?" For the first time, Jared saw Maxwell, who had always maintained the image of a gentle gentleman, look so excited.

Maxwell coughed, sat down and took a deep breath: "It's me who lost my temper, of course I have also seen the great work "The Count of Monte Cristo", and the first thought in my heart after watching it is that if this work is made into a play, it will be an incomparable performance!" Mr. Alexander is in the city of Elroy, and I have wondered if the Brenda Theatre Company has this honor, but I have no way to contact Mr. Alexander, and it feels like a dream after listening to your words, yes! The dream is right in front of my eyes! ”

Jared had a strange look: "Oh! Have you forgotten, Mr. Brenda? ”

"What?"

"You've met that Mr. Alexander before, and I'm sure I could have arranged for you to meet him if you had contacted me earlier."

Maxwell was stunned for a moment, frowned and pondered: "I have heard that Mr. Alexander is a young man, but if it were such a talented novelist, I should be impressed by him, are you his friend?" ”

Jared smiled and explained: "The Count of Monte Cristo did not appear in front of the public eye, he really didn't look very conspicuous, his identity did not receive attention, do you remember when your theater troupe finished performing "Eva's Secret"? ”

Maxwell thought of a man and asked, "It's him!" The young man who wants to meet Mr. Randolph!? ”

"Yes, his real name is Harvey Adrian."

Maxwell was remorseful: "I should have kept him and talked to him a little more, and I was really impressed with him at that time. ”

Jared said meaningfully: "Mr. Brenda, then we are scheduled to meet tomorrow night, and Mr. Adrian has asked Mr. Randolph and me to appear with him, you may be able to anticipate his purpose, and he has praised your troupe after watching 'Eva's Secret'." ”

Maxwell figured out something at once, his steady image was swept away, and he stood up with a ruddy face and smiled excitedly: "Mr. Evan, thank you very much for this visit, please tell Mr. Adrian, I am looking forward to this invitation, and it is also a great honor for me." ”
