The new novels continued to be sold out in more than a week. From morning till night, there was no need to queue up at the door of the bookstore. The publishing house operated by Pran made a big profit and established its position in the publishing industry of Elroy. At the same time, the first volume of the dark age was officially sold in Norton.
The evaluation is mixed, and most of the evaluation tends to the good side, especially loved by young people. For those readers who like to take risks, there is no better story than "the dark age", which satisfies their desire for adventure and curiosity about the outside world.
Most of the bad comments come from the faction of traditional novels. The revenge melody of count of Monte Cristo has made many novelists feel rebellious, and the dark age is beyond their understanding. Not to mention the plot, the three-dimensional narrative structure of characters, plot, time and space has made countless novelists scratching their ears.
They don't have the identity of another layer of caster. They don't know how Harvey wrote such a magical effect.

Alchemy workshop
Harvey put on a gas mask and carefully mixed different liquids together. After a while, the liquid solidified to form a small amount of white powder. Seeing this, Harvey was relieved, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a bitter smile, "I can't imagine that my former liberal arts student would study chemical formulas."
Now the alchemy workshop has almost become a chemical laboratory, full of bottles and jars filled with strange colors of liquid and solid. These are Harvey's experimental materials. He is studying the film making process of the world. Because some elements of the earth could not be found here at all, Harvey needed to look for chemical raw materials again, read countless modern photography books, and finally used the alchemy workshop to make similar photographic materials after numerous failures.
Harvey mixed the plural materials together, used the enchantment stage for processing, and soon made a translucent film.
And put the film in the strange facilities to test.
After more than a month's research, Harvey finally found a way to make films that belong to the world. The production process of films is relatively complex, and it is difficult to put them into use for the time being. However, with the help of photographic crystal, the role of films is dispensable.
"Zizizi ~"
While waiting for the result, a strange sound came from the metal box the size of a drawer beside Harvey. He lifted the lid and took out a colorful photo from it. Harvey looked at the details of the photo and finally showed a satisfied smile.
The photo development technology is much more practical. Harvey abandoned the traditional photo development mode and began to study in the field of laser printing technology. The research is not as complicated as he thought. There is a similar principle of [development] in the magic of the change system. To grasp this idea, Harvey finally made a laser printing device in front of his eyes, and the magic array engraved inside is not complicated, It's easy to commercialize.

When Harvey finished his experiment and came out of the wizard's tower, he saw Diana sitting on the sofa reading his novel the dark age. It was only recently that she came into contact with this novel. The novel has a lot of content, and many places are worth tasting again and again. She hasn't finished reading half of it this week.
Shirley's dress has changed a lot. Now she is wearing a white long skirt with light yarn. The skirt seems to be covered with countless layers of light yarn. The skirt is more relaxed. The upper part of the dress is designed for self-cultivation, which has the effect of waist binding. The willow waist is more delicate and beautiful. Of course, she does not pursue the effect of thin waist excessively. Her temperament is simple and elegant.
After experiencing the demonization of Shirley, the study has become the entrance to the wizard's tower. There's nothing wrong with Diana sitting here reading novels.
Diana saw that the secret door leading to the wizard's tower had been opened. Her white mitten catkin put down her bookmark, closed the novel, stood up, picked up the document on the desk and showed it to Harvey: "Harvey, this is the bank transfer document sent by Mr. Pran this morning."
Harvey went over and looked through the document. The content of the document was very detailed. There were records of how many novels he had sold. Harvey, as the author, could get 30% of the net profit of the dark age. This week, more than 400000 barons were remitted to his bank account. Harvey had already calculated in his mind how much magic material he could exchange for the money.
Harvey nodded, put down the papers and pondered, "Diana, please contact William and say I have something important to find him."
Diana's calm look revealed a little curiosity: "what happened?"
Harvey explained with a smile: "it's not a big deal. It's just that we have found suitable photosensitive materials and photo developing technology. They are all props used with photographic crystals, and they have great commercial prospects."
"I'm still studying strange things. How's the novel going?"
"Fiction?"
Diana picked up "the dark age" on her desk and motioned, "I mean the second one."
"Why do you say this all of a sudden?"
"Didn't you read Norton's newspaper? I said to you, even if you are addicted to experiments, at least you can spare half an hour to read the newspaper and learn about current affairs." Diana, holding her waist and holding her chin in one hand, reproached.
Harvey laughed, "and then what?"
Diana's face became grim: "you won the Bauhinia prize and the dark age. There are many disputes in Norton's literary world. Then the new issue of Norton's night completely intensifies the contradiction. Now you and count Henrietta are regarded as heretics in the literary world, but this will not have any practical impact on your status, Anyway, most of the people in the community are after your novel, and the dark age is also popular
"Do you think dark age is good?"
"It's good. I have a desire to read on." Diana nodded, saw Harvey's complacent smile and snorted, "don't be too happy. Don't forget that you are the author of count of Monte Cristo. Now I don't think your novel can surpass count of Monte Cristo."
Harvey touched his chin and laughed: "really, I'm quite confident about this novel. Besides, these two novels are not of the same type at all. There is no saying that the novel can be finished any time. I'm waiting for Shirley to finish her illustration."
Diana raised her chin. She understood Harvey.
Her affirmation of the dark age is more than what she said. In particular, the narrative style of the dark age surprised her. Unlike the linear development of ordinary novels, it's like a three-dimensional model. It's very complicated to understand, but it's easy to read, and it won't give readers a sense of confusion. Shirley's illustration plays a significant role in it.
I don't know why, Diana felt some unhappiness and loss in her heart. Since that night, her attitude towards Shirley has completely changed. She used to be a friend, but now it's neither hot nor cold. Shirley has apologized to her, but Diana always has a bad heart.
Sherry can help Harvey, but she can't do anything. Harvey no longer asks her for advice when writing novels.
