Chapter 17

Looking at the explanation of [magic trick], Harvey was very interested and thought of a famous magic idea: "if fireball can't destroy the enemy, it's not that fireball isn't powerful enough, it's just that fireball isn't big enough and the temperature isn't high enough. If fireball can achieve the same effect as the sun, even level one fireball can achieve the effect of destroying the world."

[magic trick] similarly, this is a very comprehensive and weak spell. If this spell can be developed to the extreme, can it revive the dead, forcibly stop the rotation of the planet, and make any props out of thin air.

Harvey shook his head and chuckled at his idea, knowing that it was almost whimsical. Take fireball as an example. The structure of fireball can only support a certain amount of etheric elements. If the structure exceeds this limit, it will collapse. If the structure of fireball is changed, it can't be called fireball.

Harvey knew the whole casting process of magic trick, and he almost knew the world's casting system.

Generally speaking, the caster is a human flesh computer, the magic net is a network, and the magic is all kinds of software. If the performance of the computer is not good, it can't run large software (advanced magic). If the performance of the computer is enough, it can't run out of thin air without installing software (learning magic).

All the casting process needs to go through the magic net. The computer uses some software to calculate a certain result. When this structure is uploaded to the network, it can mobilize the ether element to cause some effect. In addition, it's not that the caster can't cast without the help of the net. It's just that there will be a more complicated calculation step in the casting process without the help of the net.

The magic trick activated by Harvey gives him two kinds of magic knowledge. One is simple and convenient to cast by magic net, and the other is more complex and needs to prepare materials for casting. The relative magic effect is more flexible.

He doesn't expect to rely on [magic trick] to eat the whole magic system. The first one is enough.

He lay on the bed and looked at a hardcover book on the desk, spitting out a few difficult letters in his mouth. After that, the book on the desk trembled slightly and floated to his hand under his gaze. Harvey looks at all this with novel eyes. A simple process opens the door to a new world for him, and the floating books move with his consciousness.

How amazing, beyond the knowledge of the earth!

"No, I feel that the burden of spirit is heavier. Although [magic trick] is a zero order magic, I can only count my mental power beyond the ordinary level, far from the standard of a qualified caster." Feeling more eyelid, Harvey put down the book and yawned.

After Sherry brought up the dinner, Harvey took a few mouthfuls and went back to sleep.

······

The next morning, Harvey got up with a clear mind, and his mental strength and energy were more unexplained. He felt more relaxed physically and mentally. In the morning, he created count of Monte Cristo, and in the afternoon, he tried to use magic to complete the printing.

A simple zero order spell has no casting conditions. It only requires the most basic chanting. When Harvey is energetic, he will follow his consciousness to achieve the desired effect.

In the bedroom, Harvey, sitting in front of his desk, squints. After singing, a drop of ink in the ink bottle floats and drops onto the white paper next to him. Then the ink is absorbed by the white paper, and the standard text emerges like a magic trick on the white paper plane.

"It's a success!" Harvey sighed with joy. The printing effect did not exceed the limit of magic trick, but Harvey could not cast magic while writing a novel. This page of white paper was created by him in the morning. At most, it was copied to another piece of paper. His next goal was to use magic trick to complete the code.

When he felt tired, Shirley knocked on the door and told the reviewer of Leonard press, Pran, to come to visit him. Yesterday, the reviewer came to visit him because Harvey was in poor health, which was postponed to today by Shirley.

Yesterday, I didn't see Harvey and asked him to come to the living room in person. Harvey felt confident and asked Shirley to arrange for him to wait in the living room.

When Harvey came down the stairs in his formal clothes, Pran, the reviewer he met the other day, stood up in a hurry and said with a smile, "Mr. Adrian, please forgive me for the inconvenience I brought you."

Now Pran is wearing a black suit and should be waxed. He looks very formal.

Harvey nodded quietly: "Mr. Pran's personal visit shows that the review of my novel has come to an end. I hope it ends well."

"Of course, this time I brought good news to Mr. Adrian."

After Harvey sat down, Pran stood and hesitated. He bowed his head and apologized sincerely: "Mr. Adrian, I have to apologize to you personally for one point. As for your work, I didn't read it carefully before. If it wasn't for Mr. Evelyn, I would have made a big mistake."

He graduated from a university. He was an advanced intellectual in this era. Before, he looked down upon Harvey Adrian's comments, but now he is completely convinced by the count of Monte Cristo. No matter what Harvey's external comments, the count of Monte Cristo is a masterpiece. If it can be finished, it will become a famous work of Elroy.

"Oh?" Harvey raised his eyebrows, and the secret was that the count of Monte Cristo was a world-famous work of the earth, and it could not have done nothing at the same time.

"I'm ashamed of my stupidity. In addition to discussing the publication of your work the count of Monte Cristo, we at Leonard press have prepared this apology, which I will personally deliver to you." Pran took out the slender gift box from his pocket and put his hands on the table. Harvey asked Shirley to put it away.

Seeing that Harvey was willing to accept the apology, Pran was greatly relieved. It was time to get down to business after apologizing.

The count of Monte Cristo is scheduled to be published tomorrow. It will be added to the second issue of the collection of novels published by Leonard press. Originally, it could be published yesterday, but because it is written by Harvey, it needs to be retouched and edited by several reviewers before it can be printed.

"I'm very glad that my work is on the list of publications, and I have no objection to publishing it."

Pran hesitated and asked, "does Mr. Adrian have any spare manuscripts? Your works are written by hand, so we hope you can provide as many manuscripts as possible so that we can prepare them in advance."

"Of course."

Sherry goes to Harvey's bedroom to take out the copies of Harvey's novels, which are more than 20000 words in total. She looks at the thick pile of Pulan and is pleasantly surprised. The weight is more than he imagined. In this way, he may be able to see the follow-up story of Edmond meeting father Faria and see the real beginning of the whole story.

Harvey didn't plan to hand over the 10000 words he had finished today to Leonard publishing house before he made a copy. He didn't plan to print them outside, and the rest of the money was just for practicing magic tricks.

Looking at the manuscript in his hand, he looked embarrassed and half jokingly explained: "Mr. Adrian, to tell you the truth, since I read your novel, I have been deeply attracted by the story in it. Even when I sleep, I dream about poor Edmond. Now I want to go back to the publishing house to study your work, I want to know what happened to captain Edmond, who was framed and imprisoned

Hearing the name of the protagonist, Harvey knew that what he said was true. At least he had actually seen count of Monte Cristo.

Harvey stood up, reached out to him and said with a smile, "it's a great honor. In order to live up to the expectations of readers and your society, I also need to have a good idea."

"You are a great novelist, and I believe that your work will shock the whole Elloy literary world after it is finished," he said

After shaking hands, they looked at each other and said goodbye with a smile.
