Guided by the prison guide boat, the yacht rented by the drama troupe landed in the harbor of reef island. Harvey and his party were warmly welcomed by the warden as soon as they got off the boat. Harvey was still a little confused about the warden's warm attitude, and the warden was surprised when he learned that Harvey was Alexander, In his imagination, the author of count of Monte Cristo should be a middle-aged noble with extraordinary temperament.
Harvey's clothes are pretty good. Now he stands out in the crowd. After a short surprise, the warden shakes hands with Harvey excitedly.
"Are you the Baron Harvey Adrian whom count Henrietta mentioned? Since reading your work the count of Monte Cristo, I have always admired your talent. You are much younger than I expected. It is my great honor to meet you in such a place. I sincerely hope to discuss literature and the problems in the count of Monte Cristo with you. " The warden's right hand swayed a few circles in front of his chest before sticking it to his chest and bending down to salute. This kind of etiquette is generally used to express the respect for people with noble status. The common people respect the nobles, and the nobles respect the members of the royal family.
Although Harvey inherited the title of Baron, he was no higher than the warden in front of him in terms of aristocratic status.
Harvey took off the top of the black gentleman hat and put it on his chest. He leaned over and said, "you are so humble. I can only come to this beautiful island with your permission. Please allow me to thank you, warden Scott." Harvey got his name in the letter.
Jared came forward and gave Harvey a box containing valuable jewels carefully selected from the jewelry store of evry.
Warden Scott looked embarrassed, shook his head and said solemnly, "I can't accept your gift, Mr. Adrian. You need to understand that your presence here means more to me personally. If you can, I hope you can sign my novel."
Harvey was surprised and said, "you mean the count of Monte Cristo?"
"Yes."
"Oh, of course, but this gift was originally prepared for warden Scott. If you don't accept it, we have to throw it into the sea. It should belong to you. Besides, we have also disturbed your prison during this period. This is an apology from all our members. " Harvey still insisted on giving the gift to the nobles. When dealing with the nobles, they were polite on the surface, but they might be different in private.
Warden Scott hesitated for a moment and accepted it.
Under the leadership of Jared, the rest of the troupe began to work together to film the story of the count of Monte Cristo's imprisonment as soon as possible. No one wants to spend some time on this desolate and small island. It is estimated that it will take half a week to complete the shooting.
Harvey followed warden Scott to his office to explain the purpose of his visit. The troupe and others were all eye-catching in the downtown area. Besides, warden Scott didn't understand Harvey's purpose in this desolate island. They were old and young, men and women, but none of them looked as relaxed as sightseeing, No one would choose an island prison outing.
······
Inside the warden's office, the walls are clearly projected with pictures taken by super high quality photographic crystals.
Harvey said: "as you can see, this is a new photography technology belonging to the kingdom. This technology will change the structure of people's daily life, just like the influence of books on people. My purpose this time is to make a similar film, the original script is "count of Monte Cristo", so as to promote this technology
"Great invention! No wonder even the royal family is willing to open the door for you, but I've lived in isolation for a long time, and I don't know what the outside world, especially the bustling Norton, has become. Maybe I won't be able to see this technology spread all over the world. " Warden Scott sighed bitterly. After a pause, his voice became high again: "so, are you going to use this technology to shoot the scene of the count of Monte Cristo, the poor captain Edmond's imprisonment here?"
"Yes, it's very suitable here, whether it's the atmosphere or the terrain."
"I admire your attitude of pursuing art. As you said, reef prison is very suitable. It's not the best choice."
"Why do you say that?"
Prison warden Scott shook his head with a bitter smile: "you also know what kind of prisoners are held here. There are ferocious pirates, cruel murderers, some special forces and political prisoners. This is the cage where many hungry crocodiles are kept, and the members of your troupe are like a piece of fresh meat outside the fence."
"You mean it's not safe here?"
"Oh, Mr. Adrian, it's certainly safe here, but you need to understand that it's not the cages or the iron railings that hold these prisoners, it's the natural dangerous environment. In fact, the garrison here is much weaker than that of ordinary prisons. In case of any accident, our guard force alone can't stop it. I sincerely hope you can change your plan." Governor Scott's voice was sincere.
"They're crocodiles... I know what you mean a little bit." Harvey nodded thoughtfully.
"My troupe members may be tender lambs, but I think I can protect them."
Warden Scott looked at Harvey in amazement. "What do you mean by that..."
"Mr. Scott, are there any prisoners to be executed?"
"Almost anyone you see is."
"That's good."
"But I still don't know what you mean," Scott asked
"No matter how hungry crocodiles are, they won't be stupid enough to provoke a dragon. If they are cruel, I just need to play a more dangerous role than them."
After hearing this, warden Scott was stunned. Then he felt funny and said, "Mr. Adrian, I don't think those outlaws are afraid of anything."
"Now, I'm sure. No matter what happens, please keep calm, warden Scott. I'll take care of everything
Seeing that Harvey is still insisting, warden Scott has no choice but to come with Harvey to the place where the prisoners are held. Combined with Harvey's words, he can guess Harvey's idea and use the prisoners' lives to build prestige among the prisoners. It's very easy to put this method in half of the prison. This is actually the place where the "demons" are held.
Warden Scott doesn't resent this kind of practice. Every prisoner here deserves to die. Justice in law is a great kindness. Kindness to crime is cruelty to justice.
