Culture Conquers Foreign Worlds

Chapter 38



After testing the power of the new activated spell, Harvey gets some dead branches and burns two unfortunate ducks and half of the crown with a fire. Although he is a magician, this is not something that can't be seen. If it's not necessary, Harvey thinks he should try his best not to expose his identity. Especially, the trend of the Elroy family is not clear, and it's not clear whether it's related to the fact that the Adrian family used to be a magic family.

It needs to be mentioned that the casters were brilliant in ancient times, but their status was comparable to that of the religious witch hundreds of years ago. At that time, including the kingdom of Baron, they all carried out the suppression action against the casters. Originally, it was only a religious activity to wipe out the magicians. They advocated magic as heresy and stole the power of God to do the devil's business. However, the rulers of the Kingdom also thought that the magicians were a threat to the ruling class, which catered to the religious activities.

In recent hundred years, with the development of civilization, the understanding of magic has gradually cleaned up the demonized image in people's hearts, and the traces of magic can often be seen in daily life. For example, most street lamps are made of a special crystal material. The energy is not electric energy, but a magic array engraved on the base of the street lamp.

After the destruction, Harvey clapped his hands and left the deserted countryside.

Half an hour after he left, a black carriage stopped nearby. An old man came down from the carriage. He carefully looked around and found the ashes left by the burning. He took out a white glove belt from his arms, twisted the ashes and smelled. He didn't care that the soiled white gloves continued to search in the ashes, and whispered to himself: "it takes a lot of time for a general flame to burn a corpse to ashes. It should be that some strange magic increased the temperature of the flame."

His judgment was right. Harvey used the "little miracle" to extract oxygen from the air to support combustion, and then burned the duck's body to ashes in ten minutes.

The old man recited several complicated incantations. His turbid eyes were covered with a layer of blue light, through which he could see things that ordinary people could not find.

"Judging from the remaining spell traces, one is a first-order spell [venomous bite], the other

The old man's wrinkled and bark like cheek moved, showing a very surprised appearance, and his mouth continued to chant. Soon, the blue light of his eyes almost burst out, and he quickly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes had returned to their normal appearance, but the white part of his eyes was covered with blood, and became extremely ferocious.

"What kind of spell is this! It's negative energy

He speaks to himself in silence and his face is incredible. In his cognition, all the magic that can mobilize negative energy are high-level magic, which can only be controlled by the big people who are at the top of the caster. His face changed dramatically and he quickly got up to leave here. From the beginning, he felt the magic wave, but he didn't dare to get close. Only when Harvey left did he want to come and explore. The negative energy was far beyond his control.

The old man rushed back to the carriage, opened the iron door and got in.

The coachman at the top of the carriage looked back and asked strangely, "Lord Calvin, what happened?"

"Go! Let's go! Get out of here The old man waved to urge him.

The coachman didn't know why, but he knew Calvin was a caster. At the moment, he didn't want to beat the horse's ass with a whip. The black horse hissed and rushed out. Calvin in in the carriage fell down directly because of inertia. He held the seat and looked around for fear of some strange magic attack.

It's taboo for most casters to peep at others' casting. No one wants to break his own magic. If the caster is aware of his action, he doesn't have confidence to escape from the caster who can mobilize negative energy.

The old man took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead: "an unidentified powerful caster has entered Elroy. He must report the news to the count."

······

After this day, Harvey seldom left the house, and his main energy was on count of Monte Cristo and his research on magic. His research on magic was based on his knowledge. He had no basic knowledge of casting, and of course he could not verify any useful conclusion, but he was happy with it.

Soon, coupled with the progress of the previous series, the count of Monte Cristo has written 400000 words, about half the length of the whole novel, enough to publish the first half of the volume.

Good news also came from peer Pran. An aristocrat who had read count of Monte Cristo was full of praise for the novel and was willing to support Harvey to publish it at his own expense. At the same time, he contacted a publishing house and just waited for Harvey to finish the novel.

Harvey is not worried about this, he is finishing the content of the count of Monte Cristo.

Since Diana got his original novel, she is very interested in some self created sentences in his novels. Although she seldom visits her in person, she almost sends letters to Harvey every day to exchange ideas. Every time Harvey sends her the original novel, she will receive a letter of opinion the next day. The contents of the envelope rarely mention the plot of the novel, More to help Harvey improve the background of the novel and the choice of words and sentences.

Diana is different from Harvey. She has read books since childhood and has more knowledge in this world than ten Harvey put together. Her opinions are more like polishing the content of a novel and filling in the gaps.

In addition, Harvey did not rush to publish the count of Monte Cristo for another reason.

······

Shirley sits in Harvey's humble study, where she already has her own temporary workbench, which is covered with a piece of white paper and some painting tools. She is also wearing the classic Maid Dress, the white apron part is a little yellow, she sits upright, even the conservative style skirt design can not cover the proud figure, rigorous and serious eyes move with the nib.

Her writing is not words, but a fine sketch, style and early has earth shaking changes. In this era, sketch is also popular with realistic style. Harvey directly asks Shirley to try another style according to the impression in his mind, which is very close to modern meimanfeng.

"Sir, is that all right?" Shirley also handed over a completed illustration to Harvey for examination. In the painting, it was the scene of the meeting between the count of Monte Cristo and his fiancee, melcedes, and Albert, respectively. Secondly, it described the surrounding architectural scenery in detail, delicate and exquisite.

Shirley's white right hand had been blackened with ink, and her sleeve was stained with indelible black.

Because Harvey is a modern illustration of the standard requirements of painting, this illustration has gone through more than a week since the completion of painting, superb painting skills and advanced style gives this illustration unparalleled visual experience, of course, is also based on this world, in modern times can only be regarded as ordinary.

Harvey put down the envelope in his hand, took the illustration from Shirley, looked at it for a long time, pointed to the eyes of Meredith in it and said, "it's better to draw the corners of the eyes drooping here. The eyes should be slightly widened to highlight her surprised expression, but it's not a big problem. It's qualified."

Hearing Harvey's words, Shirley relaxed her eyes, pulled up her skirts on both sides and gave Harvey a gentle Judo: "thank you."

Shirley returns to her own position, and Harvey stands beside her and guides her to draw the next illustration. Shirley is short-sighted and is difficult to control the architectural details and sense of space. Harvey plays her eyes and is responsible for planning the environment and sense of space. It is expected to take another two weeks to complete all the illustrations of the novel, which also gives Harvey time to re edit the first half of count of Monte Cristo.
