After dinner, they took a walk by the river. The night was as cool as water. The clear moonlight reflected on the water, shimmering and swaying with the breeze. Lying quietly under the river bed, the moon was more pure. It's far away from the noisy streets, and it's almost night without pedestrians. Harvey likes the quiet atmosphere very much.
In addition to her thin school uniform, Diana also wore Harvey's coat. The cold wind mixed with the moisture of the river really made her feel a little cold.
When we had dinner together, Harvey had already got the answer he wanted to know, but somehow he invited her to go out for a walk. He glanced at the beautiful and arrogant girl next to her. The corner of his eye was slightly lifted, and he was still arrogant. His eyes were straight ahead. A little light reflected from the water was shining on her face. Her skin was like jade, and her blue pupils were shining.
Harvey said a few incantations, and a ball of light formed in front of him, light as nothing, floated in front of them, illuminating the road in front of them.
He first broke the silence and asked, "Miss Cromwell, what are you going to do in the future?"
Diana was still holding the manuscript of the second half of the count of Monte Cristo in her hands. She looked down at the river and said, "in the future? It's true that I will graduate from university in half a year. If there is no accident, I will probably marry Mr. Adrian and live a peaceful life. "
Harvey touched his chin and laughed. "It doesn't sound like a joke, but I don't think it's going to go that well. As you and I all know, the Adrian family is no longer worthy of the Cromwell chamber of Commerce. It's beyond my expectation that you still don't intend to break the engagement. "
"I was supposed to marry you a year ago, but I put it off on the pretext of going to school. It's Mr. Adrian's change that's surprising." She raised her ears, curled her hair, and looked at Harvey calmly: "I've heard bad rumors about you in school before, but now I'm a famous novelist and caster. Either of these two identities is unattainable to ordinary people, including me."
"It sounds like you have no intention of breaking the engagement."
Diana stares at Harvey, picking her pretty eyebrows, and some aggressive questions: "does Mr. Adrian want our engagement broken?"
"That's not true. I don't think you're the kind of person who will easily give in to family orders, and you don't seem very willing to marry me." Harvey shook his head subtly.
"Well, it's strange enough. No matter what other people think, it's really my choice." Diana, with one hand akimbo and the other hand outstretched, pretended to be indifferent. She looked at Harvey with strange eyes: "it always feels like the best result is to keep us in a friendly relationship, Mr. Adrian. If you don't mind, can I call you by your name?"
Harvey, who had been given a friendship card for no reason, shrugged: "of course, we do look more like friends now."
"Well, Harvey, compared with my opinion, your personal will is the key to this engagement. As you think, I won't let others decide my future easily, but I am a woman after all, and I don't have the confidence to live without a man. I don't want to marry a frivolous man, but I don't mind spending my life with a talented and mature man. " Diana, who said this, looked lonely and frustrated. She came to the guardrail by the river, holding her chin with one hand and gazing at the moon in the water, fell into silence.
Harvey unequivocally asserted, "then marry me."
Diana's delicate eyes opened slightly, turned her head and looked at Harvey strangely. Then she pursed her lips and gave a low smile, which turned into a light and pleasant laugh. For the first time, Harvey heard Diana, who had always remained aloof and arrogant, laughing so cheerfully.
······
Send Diana to the carriage, Harvey go back alone, although Diana did not give him a clear answer, the relationship between the two really further, he clearly expressed his will, do not want to become a simple friend relationship. In fact, Harvey's feeling about Diana is more suitable to be a friend and can discuss the problems in the novel together, but he just doesn't want to hand Diana over to others, especially the second son of the Elroy family.
When he went back to the house, he found that the layout of the hall of the house had changed slightly. The whole house looked brand new, and there was no waste in the cost of employing servants. Shirley has been concentrating on painting in her studio. With the help of servants, she can concentrate more on painting.
After taking a bath, Harvey is comfortable in his soft bed. Now he finally feels relaxed that everything has come to an end, just like the students are looking forward to the summer vacation and will be able to sleep in tomorrow.
His debt has been paid off. After writing the novel the count of Monte Cristo, he still has some savings and has stepped into the door of the caster. He has integrated into the world and found his own goal.
He had to make a good plan for the rest of his life. The first question he needed to think about was whether to go to the capital of the kingdom of Baron to see the world, and then use it as a springboard to go to what Kenneth called the prosperous east of magic. As a passer-by, Harvey is not in a hurry. He belongs to the type that only after collecting all the equipment can he challenge the boss and strive to win steadily. He has his own golden finger. He is considering whether to upgrade his level to 999 before taking risks in the outside world. At that time, he can take any staff to fight hard.
The water is shallow, so he doesn't have to worry about his life in Elroy.
The way he can improve his strength is very simple. As long as he has repercussions in the world, he can get all kinds of rewards.
The Earl of Monte Cristo caused a sensation in the literary world of Elroy. The reward of the novel is enough to let him step into the door of the caster, and the reward is bound to be more crazy after the second half of the book is published.
This is just a literary work of the earth. In the era of information explosion, the earth has more to offer. His fantastic ideas never stop, and become the caster to pursue the illusory truth? This seems ridiculous in Harvey's eyes. He is more interested in how to apply magic to a wide range of civil fields, just like the impact of science on modern life. Science is the first productive force. Can magic be the first productive force in this world?
Harvey thought deeply, is magic such a big thing.
"You can use [sketch] to write a novel. It's not a dream. Using [illusion] to make naked eye 3D effect, it must be very interesting to make a card game. Although there are short films similar to movies in this world, no real movies have been developed. There are more strange magic and mysterious magic nets to study. It's not a dream to create a magic version of the online world. "
This era is in the transition of barbarism and civilization, but magic is added into it. What chemical reaction will happen when combined is hard to predict for Harvey.
He has a unique attribute template. As long as he causes repercussions in this world, he can get rewards and improve his strength. What to do is very clear.
