Chapter 51

There is neither happiness nor pain in the world, only a comparison between one situation and another, that's all. Only those who have faced misfortune can experience the greatest happiness. Morrel, we must experience the pain of death before we can realize the happiness of life.

So, my beloved children, enjoy the happiness of life! Never forget that until the day when God revealed man's future destiny, all human wisdom was contained in these four words: "waiting" and "Hope".

Your friend, the count of Monte Cristo, Edmond Dants.

······

Harvey wrote the last sentence of count of Monte Cristo with a lot of emotion. He didn't realize the greatness of this work until he consciously reviewed it. Even though it is a popular novel, it is full of philosophy of life. The count of Monte Cristo, who was wronged and jailed, met father Faria and exercised the power of revenge after repaying his kindness, was undoubtedly troubled in his life. As he said, "all human wisdom is contained in these four words: [waiting] and [hope]."

This sentence runs through the life of the count of Monte Cristo, who had been desperate, crazy, and finally redeemed in revenge. Harvey witnessed that Captain Edmond Dants, who had a bright future, turned into prisoner No. 34 and turned into the count of Monte Cristo in despair. After seeing all the experiences of the count of Monte Cristo, Harvey was shocked and awakened by this sentence.

It's just a simple sentence in the letter, but it's as loud as a million thunders, and it's more sonorous and powerful than the groundbreaking voice.

"Sure enough, it's a classic handed down from generation to generation. It's a process of reviewing the novel. I'm not naturally infected by the emotions in the novel." After finishing count of Monte Cristo, Harvey, feeling empty in his heart, spoke to himself with a breath. His eyes were slightly moist, and his heart cheered for the wonderful life of Edmond Dants countless times.

He is not the real author, and only the end of such a work will make him suddenly lost.

Harvey sorted out the original novel, and used the "little miracle" to make two copies. The real original was given to Diana, who helped him through the difficulties. He kept one for himself, and sent one to his reviewer, Pulan. In front of him, the scene of Earl of Monte Cristo bombarding Elroy appeared. The second half of the novel is more wonderful than the first half. At most, the first half can only be regarded as innovative and wonderful, while the second half is more substantial. At the same time, it endows the whole work with the soul, making it qualitatively changed and sublimated.

Readers may cheer for its wonderful plot after reading the first half of the book, just like Harvey's feeling when reading online novels.

But when readers are attracted by the wonderful plot in the second half of the book, they will also feel the core idea of the work and experience the shocking philosophy expressed by those words! It is not to admonish the readers from a high position, but to elaborate through the development of the plot, the whole story and the life of a character.

······

In the evening, Harvey sent a manuscript of the novel to the reviewer Pran and invited Diana to dinner with one of his own. The invitation was sent out the day before yesterday, and Diana replied that night, apparently not interested in the banquet hosted by the second son of the Elroy family. Although Harvey is not interested in this matter, as a normal male, he still can't tolerate other people's digging behavior.

He didn't wait long at the appointed high-end restaurant. Diana arrived on time in her standard British school uniform, which didn't fit in with the high-end environment of the restaurant. Her arrogant and confident attitude eliminated the sense of difference.

"Good evening, Miss Cromwell. I thought you would come in a different suit." Harvey stood up and opened the chair for her. She couldn't help laughing that Diana was not an illiterate type. She had to change her clothes to show respect when she ate in a high-end restaurant.

Diana sat down, tone helpless explanation: "sorry, I now only school uniform can wear, before the clothes are not very fit."

Harvey looked at her in surprise, which seemed to come from the mouth of a great merchant's daughter.

"I don't care. Isn't there a party in your school today? You're not going to attend?"

Diana's heroic eyebrows frowned: "I don't like the lively environment so much." Seeing a folder in front of Harvey, she relaxed a little and asked, "are these the new manuscript of the count of Monte Cristo?"

"Well, the second half of the count of Monte Cristo is all about it, but the illustration is not finished yet."

"So fast?" Diana asked in surprise, less than a month after the first half of the count of Monte Cristo was published. She thought it would take at least three months to see the second half.

"As you know, the count of Monte Cristo is now in a situation where it was banned by Leonard's Publishing House and could not be sold in regular bookstores. To break this situation, we must maintain the popularity of novels. I used some extraordinary means to write novels and accelerated the progress."

Diana didn't understand what Harvey was talking about. She asked with a slight look, "Mr. Adrian, have you got someone to write for you?"

"Don't get me wrong. It's not a ghostwriter." Harvey smiles and whispers a few strange syllables. The folder in front of him floats up slightly to Diana, and the words in ink appear on the folder: "to Diana."

Harvey took his hands and said with a smile, "you know that there was a caster in the Adrian family. I inherited the blood of the caster. I'm also a half hanged caster myself, which is almost what you see. Specific spells can greatly shorten the creation time."

Magic!

Seeing this scene, Diana naturally feels surprised. The Adrian family is indeed famous as a caster, but Harvey's ability to use magic is beyond her expectation. She looks at Harvey carefully: "I didn't know you could do magic."

In the eyes of ordinary people, the caster is awe inspiring. Diana also thinks so. At this moment, Harvey becomes very strange in her eyes. Looking at his face can not be associated with the frivolous image of half a year ago.

"Everyone has his own secret, but when you come here, it's even more surprising to say that you don't have the right dress."

"I rarely socialize, and I've been independent of my family ever since I went to college." Diana said frankly that there was one more thing she didn't say, which was that these were all preparations for leaving the family, and her original intention was not to marry Harvey Adrian.

He picked to pick eyebrow: "before you give me money is also oneself earn?"

"No, those are the money I got from selling the jewelry my mother left me."

Harvey

With a dry smile, he knew that Diana's mother had passed away, and he didn't intend to continue the heavy topic. Instead, he asked in a dignified tone, "Miss Cromwell, I'd like to ask you a question. Do you know Kathy Elloy, the second son of the Elloy family? He's the author of the wild rose

Diana squeezed her delicate chin and thought, "I know you, but I'm not familiar with you. I'll meet you occasionally in some elective courses."

"You told him about me?"

Diana hugged her hands and looked at him like an idiot. She said sarcastically, "Mr. Adrian, do you think a woman will mention her disgraceful fiance in front of an outsider?"

"Well." Harvey gave a dry smile and asked to take the blame for Harvey Adrian. Now he is sure that Cathy must be hostile to him. The root of the problem lies in his relationship with Diana.
