Chapter 4

The advertisement in the newspaper!

In fact, the world's civilization level is not low. Although it is not as good as the information explosion, it is also in an explosive state. The fairy tales that scare children and the heroic epics sung by vagrant poets can not meet people's needs. Especially in the aristocratic field, reading the works of some famous novelist or poet can become the capital to show off, It represents the educational difference between them and the ignorant masses.

Poetry Harvey doesn't understand, but fiction is his field!

When he was still on the earth, he was a fan of online novels. It's no exaggeration to say that the number of words he read was more than that of a library in the world. He also studied the field of online novels and planned to write a work of his own. Of course, the result was not very ideal. His novels do not have any advantage in the modern era of information explosion, but there are not so many harsh requirements in this world which is still in the replacement of civilization and barbarism.

The field of literature in this world is in an explosive period of development, and ordinary people begin to come into contact with literary works because of the popularization of books. The society's desire for culture is like an abyss.

The network novel does not occupy the superiority in front of the traditional literature, coupled with the two world cultural differences, the network novel creation experience does not have any help to Harvey, Harvey has the huge advantage in the field of novel is to open up the horizon, second, even if can not refer to the network novel creation experience, the western classical literature works can also give him inspiration.

The works of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights by Bronte's three sisters, the Earl of Monte Cristo, one of the most famous popular novels in the world, the scientific novel twenty thousand miles under the sea, and even the series of fairy tales of green, which are full of fairy tale color, are all acceptable.

Haven't you ever eaten pork? Haven't you ever seen a pig run? Harvey has never dabbled in the field of traditional literature, but these works are not only presented in the form of words, but also in a more specific and more attractive way of film expression. Before Harvey passed through, he loved the English time drama full of Victoria style, The slightly famous British era plays are basically adapted from famous classical novels.

"If you are selected in this advertisement, you will be awarded the Leonard prize for the most talented works by Leonard publishing house, including a gold medal and 5000 Barents! The time limit of the award is one month. It is evaluated by the staff of the publishing house and all the readers who watch the collection of novels. It seems that it is tailor-made to solve their current situation! " Harvey's eyes are focused on the prize money of the advertisement. It's hard for him to collect 30 pieces of gold coins in a month. The essay campaign held by Leonard's publishing house is a good choice. After being selected, the prize money is enough to pay off his debt at one time. On the other hand, as an author, he also enjoys the royalty of the novel, and the fame of the selected novel will certainly increase, The royalties will keep him well fed for years.

The question is, does he have the ability to pick this attractive fruit in front of him?

Harvey's eyes fell on the deadline displayed below the advertisement and frowned: "it's been a while since the advertisement was published. The deadline is within this week, that is to say, there are still five days left. We must prepare as soon as possible."

When he made up his mind, another mysterious message appeared in his mind. Without any written explanation, Harvey could understand the meaning of the message. The mysterious attribute panel in his head did not give him the ability in vain. It was more like a task system. Only Harvey paid the price to complete something would he get a reward. The quality of the reward was equal to the impact he caused.

If he becomes a world-famous novelist, the mysterious system in his head can even make him one of the top casters in the world at one time!

Harvey is more excited, which is a great thing for him. He is very interested in magic, but the threshold and mystery of magic make him unable to get into this field. Now he can't get into this field. If he can get the reward of the mysterious system in his head, it's much easier to become a regular caster than a regular caster.

······

Time is pressing. Harvey doesn't dare to delay for a moment. He orders Shirley to prepare a sandwich lunch for him and then put on her coat to leave the house. The place where he lives belongs to the prosperous area. The road is spacious and unobstructed, which is not inferior to the modern metropolis. The streets are clean and paved with floor tiles. The people who come and go are basically well-dressed gentlemen and ladies. It is a symbol of identity to live in this kind of place.

Stop a carriage and tell the driver to go to the library not far from the street.

After getting off the bus, he paid the driver 2 barons. In front of him is a Victorian style compound building. Victorian style is a very general statement, which actually contains no less than ten architectural styles, each of which has distinct characteristics. This building combines plural style to explain what is the beauty of Western classical architecture, and the grade is obviously higher than the surrounding buildings.

Harvey pushed the door in. As soon as he reached the counter, a well-dressed woman asked respectfully, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Harvey was surprised. According to his understanding, there will not be so many jobs for women in the world.

The Elroy library, which is also the name of the city, has a spacious and bright interior with two layers of bookshelves packed with books. One can't help but wonder if overthrowing one of them will cause the donomi domino effect. In addition to bookshelves, there are tables and chairs for readers to read, and flower pots in the corner. The quiet and comfortable environment is no less than the modern library of the earth.

The Elroy library is donated by the Elroy family. Most of the books are collected by the Elroy family or common books bought from various places. Generally, they are only available to people with identity and students of some schools in the city. Ordinary people can't come here without the introduction of people with status.

Harvey was glad that he was still a noble. He took off his hat and put it on his chest and said in a warm voice, "yes, madam, I want to apply for a loan certificate here. What procedures do I need?"

"OK, please leave your identity here."

After completing the form and paying a Barron coin, the librarian confirmed his identity, and Harvey got the library's borrowing certificate, which is a small book like a certificate, with instructions and borrowing records.

Time does not allow him to hesitate. When he comes here by carriage, Harvey will consider which novel to write. The works of Bronte's three sisters are not suitable for him. Twenty thousand miles under the sea is quite different from the world's cultural style, and there is a certain risk. Thinking about it, Harvey decides to write the popular novel count of Monte Cristo, which is still in its infancy in this world.

There are many cultural differences between the two worlds. For example, in count of Monte Cristo, the protagonist is framed because of Napoleon's letters. There is no Napoleon in this world, so he needs to find an existence with similar status in the history of this world. It's not that he is picky. The world culture is not very developed. If there is no actual history as the writing background, the attraction and the value of the novel will be greatly reduced.

And he also needs to weigh up the problem of "translation" of novels. What he speaks now is not English or Chinese, but a language that he has never touched at all. If the translation work is not well done, no matter how excellent the novels are, they will be a pearl in the dust.

Standing in front of the huge bookshelf, Harvey sighs with a complex mind. There are still five days to go before the deadline for soliciting articles, so there is not much time left for him to consult the materials.
