NOVEL NEXT Chapter 51
Chapter 51 Wait and hope
There is neither happiness nor pain in the world. There is only a comparison of one condition with another, that’s all. Only those who have faced misfortune in person can experience the greatest happiness. Morrel, we must experience the pain of death in order to experience the joy of life.
So, my beloved children, enjoy the joy of life! Never forget that until the day when God reveals the future and destiny of man, all human wisdom is contained in these four words: [wait] and [hope].
Your friend Edmond Dantès, the Earl of Monte Cristo.
······
Harvey wrote the last sentence of “The Count of Monte Cristo” with a lot of emotion. He will not feel the greatness of this work until he consciously revisits the work. Even if it is a popular novel, it is full of philosophy of life. After being wronged and imprisoned and meeting Father Faria, he exercised the power of revenge after repaying his favor. The life of the Count of Monte Cristo was undoubtedly ups and downs. As he said, “All the wisdom of mankind is contained in these four words: [Waiting] and [Hope].”
This sentence runs through the life of the Count of Monte Cristo. He was desperate, crazy, and finally redeemed in revenge. Harvey witnessed that the promising Captain Edmund Dantes became prisoner number 34, and became the Count of Monte Cristo in despair. After seeing all the experiences of the Count of Monte Cristo, Harvey was shaken by this sentence. Daigo is as awakened as initiating.
is just a simple sentence in the letter, but it is comparable to a million thunder and thunder, and it is more powerful than the sound of the world.
“Sure enough, it’s a classic handed down, and this is the process of revisiting the novel, and I am not naturally infected by the emotions in the novel.” After completing the “Count of Monte Cristo”, Harvey, who felt empty in his heart, said to himself. His eyes were slightly moist, and he cheered for Edmund Dantes’ wonderful life countless times in his heart.
He is not the real author, and only the completion of such a work will make him feel lost.
Harvey sorted out the original manuscripts of the novel, and used [Tiny Miracles] to make two copies of the original manuscript. The real manuscript was given to Diana who helped him through the difficulties. He kept one copy by himself, and the other copy needed to be sent to his reviewer Pulan. , The scene of the “Count of Monte Cristo” sensationalizing the city of Elroy almost appeared in front of him. The second half of the novel is more than a little bit more exciting than the first half. The first half is innovative and exciting at best. The second half is more substantial, and at the same time it gives the soul of the whole work to its qualitative change and sublimation.
Readers may applaud the wonderful plot after reading the first half, just like Harvey feels refreshed when he reads online novels.
But when the content of the second half of the book attracts readers to the wonderful plot, they will also feel the core idea of this work, and experience the shocking philosophy that those words can express! It is not an admonishment to readers from a height, but a whole story, a character’s life to explain it through the development of the plot.
······
At night, Harvey sent a manuscript of the novel to the reviewer Pulan, and he took a copy and invited Diana to dinner. The invitation letter was sent out the day before yesterday, and Diana also replied that night, obviously not interested in the banquet held by the second son of Elroy. Although Harvey is not interested in this matter, as a normal man, he still cannot tolerate other people’s digging.
Not long after he waited at the high-end restaurant he had appointed, Diana arrived on time, still dressed in a standard British school uniform, incompatible with the restaurant’s high-end environment, but that arrogant and confident posture eliminated this sense of gap.
“Good evening, Miss Cromwell, I thought you would come here with a change of clothes.” Harvey stood up and pulled out the chair for her and couldn’t help but tease. Diana is not an ignorant type, so she can eat in high-end restaurants. You need to change your clothes to show respect.
Diana sat down peacefully and explained helplessly: “Sorry, I only have school uniforms to wear now. The previous clothes didn’t fit well.”
Harvey glanced at her in surprise, which seemed to come from the mouth of a big businessman.
“I don’t care, isn’t there a banquet in your school today? You don’t plan to attend?”
Diana frowned, “I don’t like lively surroundings that much.” She saw a folder in front of Harvey, her expression relaxed a little and asked: “These are the new novels of The Count of Monte Cristo. Manuscript?”
“Well, all the contents of the second half of “The Count of Monte Cristo”, but the illustration part has not been completed yet.”
“So fast?” Diana asked with a look of surprise, less than a month has passed since 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.
“You also know the current situation of “The Count of Monte Cristo”. It was blocked by Leonard Publishing and cannot be sold in regular bookstores. If you want to break this situation, you must maintain the popularity of novels. I used some extraordinary methods to write novels and speed up schedule.”
Diana did not understand what Harvey said about the extraordinary means, and asked with a low expression, “Mr. Adrian, have you found someone to ghostwrite.”
“Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a ghostwriter.” Harvey smiled and sang a few strange syllables in a low voice. The folder in front of him floated slightly in front of Diana, and the text written in ink appeared on the folder: “To Diana.”
Harvey shook his hands and smiled and answered: “You know that the Adrian family used to have spellcasters, and I have inherited the blood of the spellcaster. I am also a half-hearted spellcaster. It’s almost what you see. Certain spells can greatly shorten the creation time.”
spell!
Seeing this scene, Diana was naturally surprised. The Adrian family was indeed famous as a spellcaster, but Harvey’s ability to use spells was beyond her expectation. She looked at Harvey with a cautious look: “I I don’t even know that you know how to use spells The caster is an awe-inspiring existence in the eyes of ordinary people. Diana also thinks so. At this moment, Harvey became extremely strange in her eyes, looking at him No matter how hard his face can’t be connected with the frivolous image six months ago.
“Everyone has their own secrets, but when you came here, it surprised me that you didn’t have the right dress.”
“I seldom participate in social activities, and since I went to college, I have no longer depended on family funding.” Diana said frankly, there is one more sentence that I did not say, that is, these are all preparations for leaving the family. The original intention was to prevent myself from marrying Harvey Adrian.
He raised his eyebrows: “You made all the money you gave me before?”
“No, those are the money I got from selling the jewelry my mother left me.”
Harvey: “······”
He gave a dry laugh, knowing that Diana’s mother had passed away, and did not intend to continue on this heavy topic. Instead, he asked solemnly: “Miss Cromwell, this time I have a question for inviting you to have a meal. I want to ask you, do you know Kathy Elroy, the second son of the Elroy family? He is the author of “Wild Rose”.”
Diana squeezed her delicate chin and thought: “Knowing, it’s just not familiar, I will encounter it occasionally in some elective courses.”
“You told him about me?”
Diana hugged her hands and looked at him like an idiot and said sarcastically: “Mr. Adrian, do you think a woman will bring up her shameless fiancé in front of outsiders?”
“Uh.” Harvey gave a dry laugh, and wanted to give Harvey Adrian back. Now he is sure that Kathy must be hostile to him, and the root of the problem lies in his relationship with Diana.
