In the alleys of the lively streets, Harvey stood at the corner where the crowd could not see, his sharp eyes searched the subtle movements around him, and after making sure that no one was there, Harvey was not at ease, and the ring on his hand dissolved into mercury and split into hundreds of silver filaments to flow to the alley in all directions.

After making sure that there was no one, Harvey cast a spell and cast an illusion, and his facial features distorted into a pale young man, and Harvey's body shape and skin were changing, transforming into another young man who did not bear any resemblance to Harvey Adrian.

Harvey conjured up a mirror and made sure that his disguise was perfect before he walked out of the alley, targeting the publishing house directly across the alley.

Harvey spent more than three days writing the first part of "City of Thorns", using the plot outline and many settings, and adding his own ideas in the details, divided into three parts, each of which subverts the content of the previous one. The first part is written in the first person with the visual of the heroine Sue, the second part is written in the first person of the heroine Maude, and the third part is written in the third person to explain the whole story.

From the subject matter to the concept, this is a film that challenges the taboo bottom line of this era, and Harvey has no doubt that this book may be banned on the day it is published, and even the Count of Henrietta will be shocked after reading it.

Puran was in a good mood, and when he sat in the carriage, he couldn't help but hum a song, which was the tune of the song in "Frozen". He had the second volume of Dark Age in his hand, and it took him a whole week to finish it, all as he expected it and unexpected.

"Dark Age" is much better than the first one, and in this "too much" slightly exceeded his expectations.

It was hard for him to imagine that there would be a wonderful degree beyond "The Count of Monte Cristo", in which the protagonist completes revenge and regains his dignity, the plot has made him applaud, and he only feels very comfortable. And when flipping through "Dark Age", the fate of the country, the future of mankind and the missions of different heroes are intertwined into a magnificent symphony, creating a sense of grandeur and epic that makes Puran seem to really see a war between light and darkness.

When Puran saw Rohan's cavalry coming to his aid, his whole body was excited, and he hoped to rise up in the midst of the oppression of a desperate situation! The indomitable momentum of the cavalry described in the text can infect any male reader and make his blood boil. It's hard to imagine that the words create a more wonderful feeling than the phantom of "The Count of Monte Cristo", which has pictures and music, and only Harvey's unique use of words and writing can express such a magnificent and intense scene.

When Puran arrived at the publisher's office, he found that the atmosphere was a little delicate, and several reviewers looked very serious, including the experienced reviewer Mottley, who had formed a small circle and didn't know what was being discussed.

"Mr. Pullan~" The staff of the publishing house greeted Pullan, and his name alarmed the reviewers who were still pondering.

Motley looked up at him and seemed relieved and beckoned him over.

"What, are you all waiting for me here?"

Motley nodded and said solemnly: "There are indeed some things that need to be decided by you, the decision-maker of the publishing house. ”

"Say, I'm in a good mood right now, if it's a promotion or something, I can get a salary increase or something at any time, and is anyone willing to work at Norton?" Puran sat down at the table and chuckled in greeting.

Motley picked up an original manuscript on the table and handed it to him: "You read this first, and after reading it, you will know why we want you to make a decision." ”

"What?"

Motley shook his head with a strange expression: "Just like when Mr. Adrian submitted "The Count of Monte Cristo" to us, this one gave me exactly the same shock. ”

Puran's expression also became serious, and he nodded to take the original manuscript, Motley is the most senior reviewer in the publishing house, and he was the one who helped Puran save Harvey in the first place, and now this experienced reviewer actually compares a new submission to "The Count of Monte Cristo"!? That Motley must have understood the meaning of this metaphor, and even Puran did not dare to say that the second volume of "The Dark Age" in his hand could match or surpass "The Count of Monte Cristo" 100%.

If this is the case, then what is Motley hesitating about!? Shouldn't such a campaign be arranged immediately for publication in print!?

After a moment's consideration, Puran returned to his office with a thick stack of manuscripts to flip through them.

"The title of the book is "City of Thorns", is it written in the first person? Puran is a little lost, since he is used to the third person, watching the first person always feels a little boring and monotonous.

The name "City of Thorns", a common first-person, a female protagonist. Soon, Puran forgot his own mind, and the delicate brushstrokes and descriptions slowly unfolded a very characteristic story, two women who should not have crossed paths were involved in the joke of the god of fate because of a conspiracy to seize the family property, the plot is very novel, and several times Puran was worried about whether the heroine Su would reveal her identity.

Later, Puran knew why Motley would be so nostalgic for this film, and the two heroines in it actually fell in love! Oh, my God! How bold is this author!? A hundred years earlier, this author would have been executed by the Church as a heretic, and now, this subject matter is also touching the edge of the law.

Pran didn't feel surprised incredibly, the delicate descriptions in it implicitly revealed the feelings between the two heroines, and with a round of plots, Pran only felt that a certain door in his mind seemed to be slammed open, and he didn't feel the slightest disgust for this plot that should have been spurned.

Puran is very worried about the fate of Sue and Maud after that.

"There should be a good ending, heroine, you have to be angry, don't sell your dignity and true love for a little money, let that gentleman get out! Abduct Maude yourself! Seeing the end of the first part, Puran was already secretly cheering for the heroine Su in his heart.

However, to his disappointment, the plot does not develop as he expected, and Sue carries out the gentleman's plan to help the gentleman pursue Maude, get them married in the chapel, and prepare to send Maude to an insane asylum.

"Damn! This is stupid! And that's it, it's worth being compared to The Count of Monte Cristo!? Puran couldn't help but scold, seeing the part where Maud and the gentleman got married, Puran couldn't stand it, and felt like something was blocked in his heart, so he couldn't vent and could only go and return the manuscript to Motley, if Motley hadn't helped him and had a higher rank than him, Poran would definitely beat Motley out of anger.
