Chapter 26: Reviewer tortured by the novel

   "My dear Edmond, if you want to know who wants to harm you, think about who is good for your murder."

  ······

He must now go back to real life, go back to people, and regain his status, power and prestige in society, and in this world, only money can enable people to obtain all this-money is the most effective way to dominate mankind. The greatest power.

  ······

   "So." The priest said with a painful smile: "A total of eighteen months, even for the most dedicated lover."

   After a moment of silence, he said softly with emotion: "A poet once said: Weak, your name is a woman!"

  ······

   It is a precious portrait, depicting a beautiful young woman with dark skin and bright and energetic eyes under slender eyelashes. She wore a beautiful civilian dress, a red and black short shirt with a long skirt, and a golden hairpin in her hair. The background in the lake was the endless blue sea and sky. She watched there with hope and anxiety in her eyes as if waiting for her husband to return.

   The light in the room was not bright, so Albert didn't notice that the earl who saw this portrait turned pale, and his chest and hands trembled uncontrollably. There was a moment of silence in the room, during which the earl's eyes never left the portrait.

   "Your lover is so beautiful, Viscount." The earl said in a calm tone: "This dress is probably only worn when dancing. It makes her look very beautiful."

"Your Excellency." Albert looked sullen: "If you see the picture next to this portrait, I can't forgive you for this mistake. You don't know my mother, so now what you see on this picture It's her. This picture looks like it was painted seven or eight years ago. This costume looks like she imagined it, but it was painted so realistically, it made me feel like I saw my mother when I was young."

"But this portrait of my mother was painted when my father was out. There is no doubt that she wanted to surprise him, but it is strange to say that my father seemed very upset to see this painting, even if it Very expensive, because you have already seen it. This is one of the masterpieces painted by Lalbo Roberts, and this cannot overcome his aversion to it. Really, I can only tell you that, the Count of Morcerf is One of Luxemburg’s most diligent nobles was a general who was good at military theory, but he was the most vulgar layman in art. Her mother was different, she painted very well herself, because she couldn’t keep this picture. Give me expensive paintings, so as to reduce some of my father’s unhappiness."

Albert looked up at the portrait and continued in an emotional tone: "Mr. Matherf’s portrait was painted by Glos, this is the one. Oh~ please forgive me for talking about housework, but since you are willing to appreciate your face, let me introduce you to it. I’ll tell you this, count, lest you misunderstand this painting. This painting seems to have a magical power, because every time my mother comes here, she always looks at it, and every time she sees it, I have to cry. My father and mother have had trouble with this incident over the years. Although they have been married for more than 20 years, they are still as loving and harmonious as they were on their wedding day."

   The Count of Monte Cristo frowned upon hearing these words, his deep eyes looked at Albert as if he was looking for other meanings in his words, but the straightforward young man spoke the words in his heart unsuspectingly.

  ······

  Pullin reviewed all the manuscripts of the "Count of Monte Cristo" for the third time. His eyes became ruddy. He felt the same way as the Count of Monte Cristo. Although he had never experienced anything like this, he was still heartbroken. It is strange to say that he has become accustomed to the novel's strange writing method. This writing method has an illusion that he can substitute for the protagonist's identity. He is both a bystander and the protagonist in the story.

   "Oh my God, how can you treat him like this! It's not fair!" Pulan muttered to himself in a depressed voice, only to realize that his voice was hoarse, clearly with a little crying, and the warmth in his eyes also showed his mood at this moment. The previous plot had made him foresee this scene, but he was still defenseless.

  The Count of Monte Cristo met his beloved again, the lover Mercedes who had supported him through despair. She was married as someone else's wife, and that person still framed the enemy of the Count of Monte Cristo and put him in an invincible hell. The earl crawled out of **** and used the power granted to him by the nemesis in order to draw the husband of his favorite person into the place where he once stayed.

   Pulan put down the draft of the novel, leaned on the table and closed his eyes to reminisce about the plot, no matter what, his mood couldn't calm down.

   He felt as depressed as his love was taken away. He applied all this sensibility to the characters in the novel, and hated the despicable man who framed the earl more and more.

   While Puland was thinking, a young colleague came over and said hello: "Hey, Puland, has the latest draft of the "Count of Monte Cristo" been retracted? We can't wait to see it."

"The Count of Monte Cristo" is finished by a plurality of reviewers. They will inevitably be exposed to the content of the novel. However, almost every reviewer who has been in contact with "The Count of Monte Cristo" is gradually attracted by the content of the novel~www. wuxiaspot.com~ After Pulan retrieves the manuscript from Harvey and reads it, other reviewers will take the lead in reading the plot of the novel in the name of proofreading.

   Pulan gave a long sigh and handed over the latest draft of the novel to these reviewers. At the end, he did not forget to add a complicated tone: "I must remind you to be mentally prepared to read it again."

   The other reviewers looked at Pulan’s gloomy face in surprise.

It didn’t take long for them to experience the same feelings as Pulan, like a tarsal maggot surrounding them for a long time. In the next few days, the reviewer’s office was in a delicate state of lifelessness, sometimes still listening. To curse Harvey or the grunting of characters in "Count of Monte Cristo."

Due to the essence of the plot in "The Count of Monte Cristo", both Alexandre Dumas and Harvey spent a lot of pen and ink to portray the heroine of Mercedes from different angles. She is undoubtedly a beautiful and outstanding. The female is also the love of the actor Edmond, but such a female is married to the despicable villain who framed Edmond.

   All this is torturing Edmond, torturing the reader's heart.

   Harvey would smile if he knew what they thought. This plot is the so-called tauren. He has been depressed because of similar plots in novels or other works, and he has not wanted to live for more than a week. The so-called tragedy is the breaking of beautiful things. This plot is a thousand times more cruel than tragedy.

However, Harvey does not want to modify this plot. This plot can be said to be one of the most dramatic and connotative plots in "The Count of Monte Cristo", and there is no need to deliberately shape Mercedes’ loyalty to her lover. In fact, she is already an amazing woman.

  The more so, the more difficult it is for readers to accept it.
