Master Tongtian

the next day.

At dawn, Rosen woke up early, meditated, and immediately started preparing breakfast.

The milk from last night was already stale, so it wasn't a big problem for him to drink it himself, but naturally he couldn't use it to serve his mentor.

Fortunately, I still had a dozen coppers in my pocket, so I took it to the milk merchant in the south market to exchange it for a small can of fresh milk.

After returning from the market, the flour that had been prepared in advance had just finished fermenting, and was shaped into a steamed bun shape and placed in the steamer. Then I took the time to make a few light and appetizing side dishes.

While preparing breakfast, footsteps came from the ceiling, indicating that Thrandis had also woken up.

Soon, breakfast was ready, Rosen quickly went upstairs, stood in the entrance hall and knocked on the door softly.

"Teacher, do you need me to help you get up?"

An indifferent response came from the door: "Have you forgotten what I said last night so quickly?"

Well, this woman may have completely changed her face.

Rosen immediately changed his mind: "Tutor, breakfast is ready. Do you want to go downstairs to eat, or should I bring it into the room?"

"I'll be down in a moment."

"Yes, mentor."

Rosen ran downstairs with a bang. Naturally, he couldn't eat first, but stood at the dining table and waited.

Fortunately, Thrandis didn't keep him waiting for long. Five or six minutes later, she also went downstairs.

Rosen raised his eyes and looked over, and saw that her hairstyle was not messy, her clothes were neat, her expression was dignified, and her body was held reservedly, as if she was a lady who had received an excellent aristocratic education.

Compared to his bohemian appearance yesterday afternoon, he looked like a completely different person.

He secretly sighed in his heart: "A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea."

But he also felt lucky that he was here to learn magic after all, and he would have to rely on magic to start a family and build a career in the future. Being in the same room with a young and beautiful female instructor, a lady is much better than a slut.

Thrandis's voice came from beside him: "Don't stand and watch, let's eat together."

This hasn't changed.

After Thrandis sat down, he sat down opposite.

The breakfast was rich and tasted very good. Thrandis was very satisfied, with a faint smile of satisfaction on his indifferent face.

After finishing breakfast, Thrandis took a tablecloth and wiped his lips reservedly.

"From now on, our teaching classes will be held between 6 and 9 o'clock after dinner. At other times, you are free to arrange as you wish."

That's good, but there's one little thing.

"Tutor, do you want me to arrange lunch for you?"

Thrandis was slightly startled, pursed his lips and thought for a moment, as if he wanted to refuse.

But in the end, she nodded.

"Just prepare some food. There is no need to make a big fuss every day. After all, it will take up a lot of your time and energy."

Rosen was delighted.

In this case, he would have a lot more personal time.

He couldn't help but think: "There will be more and more places to use money in the future, so we have to make money quickly."

If you have enough money, you can hire a servant to do these chores.

Not to mention, further training in magic in the future will cost a lot of money.

Thrandis's voice came over again: "By the way, Rosen, don't forget the oil painting you promised yesterday."

Rosen immediately came to his senses: "Mentor, I will prepare it for you as soon as possible."

"Very good, then go and do your work. I will also continue to study spells."

After saying that, Thrandis stood up and walked towards the stairs, walked a few steps, then walked back and handed Rosen a shining silver ring.

"This is the identity ring of House of Thrandis. Wearing it, you can enter and exit this wooden house freely without being blocked by the home protection spell."

"Homeland Protection Technique? Is there any?"

He went out to buy milk this morning and didn't feel anything unusual.

"That's because I specifically turned off the spell, otherwise it would be impossible for existences below high level to enter my house."

"Time is precious, don't delay."

Thrandis waved his hand and turned away.

Rosen put on the ring, quickly put away the tableware, and hurried out the door.

Soon we arrived at the Hound House.

When I walked into the hall, I saw Harrick cleaning.

Business in the hall was as slow as ever, with Chabollet being the only freeloader.

As soon as Chabolai saw Rosen, he winked at him and gave him a strange smile: "Hi~ How were you last night?"

"Not bad. Thrandis is indeed an excellent spell instructor."

This is obviously not the answer Chabolai wanted.

"Of course Thrandis is brilliant, but she's also crazy."

"As far as I know, she has never left a man to spend the night at home. Nothing happened to you while you stayed in such a small wooden building, eh?"

Seeing that Xia Bolay was getting more and more outrageous, Harik interrupted him.

"I said, can't you, a breeding pig, think of something else in your mind?"

Xia Bolay didn't care and laughed strangely.

"Who makes Thrandis a great beauty? That face, that figure, tsk tsk tsk. Even if I die on her bed, I am willing to do so."

Seeing that Chabolai kept talking and became more and more explicit, Rosen felt that he could no longer stand by and watch.

After all, Thrandis is now his serious magic instructor, and if friends want to get along for a long time, they must set a bottom line for joking with each other.

His face was straight and he said solemnly: "Uncle, we have fought side by side. I respect you, but I also hope you can respect me!"

Xia Bolay was stunned for a moment: "Rosen, why don't I respect you?"

Rosen said seriously: "No matter how Ms. Thrandis behaved in the past, she is now my magic instructor."

"As her apprentice, I can't just sit back and watch you insult her reputation. Just like I would never insult your aunt in front of you!"

"Uh~~~Tsk~~~~Uh~~~"

Xia Bolay was speechless and hesitated for a long time before finally straightening his tongue again.

"I was wrong, Rosen. I apologize to you. I will never make fun of that crazy mentor of yours again."

"Very well, I forgive you."

When Harik saw this scene, he couldn't help pointing at Chabolai and laughing.

"Finally someone can control this rogue pig like you, hahaha."

There was no trace of pride on Rosen's face. He walked over to Chabolai and sat down.

"Two uncles, can you tell me how you met my mentor?"

Thrandis's behavior was so strange that he felt very curious and needed to know more about it.

Upon hearing this question, Xia Bolai rushed to say: "I will tell you."

After speaking, he took a big sip of ale, burped, and then started talking.

"This was two years ago."

"One day two years ago, I came to the Hound House to apologize to Harrick, but I saw a beautiful red-haired girl staying in the hotel."

Harric added: "That's Miss Thrandis. She said she came from Winter City and wanted to find a cheap and comfortable place to stay."

Xia Bolay quickly continued: "As soon as I saw her, I felt that she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my life. Naturally, I pursued her at all costs."

Harrick had a look of contempt on his face: "Are you pursuing? You are just messing around!"

‘Hey hey hey~~’

Chabolai rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly.

Harric continued: "But Shabolai's offensive lasted less than half a month and ended because we all found that Thrandis was very abnormal."

Rosen asked hurriedly: "What about?"

"One day at two or three o'clock in the morning, she went to the hotel lobby to dance alone, giggling while dancing, ignoring anyone, and after dancing, she went to sleep by herself, as if she was possessed by an evil spirit. "

It's really weird.

Rosen's hair started to stand up when he heard this.

Chabolai also said something strange.

"One time I went to look for her, and I saw her leaning on the balcony alone, arguing with herself. When the argument got fierce, her left and right hands actually started fighting each other."

He sighed and said, "I, Xia Bolai, consider myself a warrior, and I will pursue beauty even without caring about my own safety."

"But seeing this weird look, I actually felt flustered. Although I was reluctant to give up, I had no choice but to give up."

Rosen understood that her mentor was probably suffering from a very serious schizophrenia.

As if he was afraid of scaring away Rosen, Xia Bolai quickly added.

"Although he behaves strangely, it is generally safe. Your mentor has been in Silver Moon Castle for more than two years and has never hurt anyone, let alone harmed anyone."

"I see."

In short, keep your distance, ignore the other person's madness, stop meddling in other people's business, and focus on learning spells.

Back to topic.

"Uncle, you must have prepared oil painting tools for me, right?"

Xia Bolay laughed and said: "That's natural. They are all the best goods and they are all placed in your room."

After saying that, he turned to look at Harrick: "I said Red Hound, your shabby hotel has no business at all, why don't you come and help sell paintings."

Harrick also became interested, threw away the rag in his hand, walked over and sat at the table.

"Selling paintings? What kind of paintings do you sell?"

"Of course it's a painting of romantic beauties. I've thought about it. Rosen will be responsible for painting, and you will be responsible for finding a buyer. As for me, I will be responsible for dealing with those blind bastards!"

After saying that, Xia Bolai waved his fist vigorously.

Harrick smiled and said: "Sounds good. But didn't you say you wanted to change your career to a bounty hunter? How is the investigation of the murderer in Chengnan Market?"

Xia Bolai chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, after all, blind bastards don't happen every day."

"As for the market murderer, this guy is a bit cunning, but it doesn't matter, I will always catch her!"

Rosen raised an eyebrow: "Her?"

"Yes, from the current clues, the murderer is a young woman. In every murder case, young men die, and they were in a very excited state before death."

Rosen understood: "In other words, he fell into a death trap after being seduced by sex."

"That's right."

Xia Bolay raised his hand and patted Rosen's shoulder.

"There are already four unlucky ones. Although the dead are all foreigners, it has not caused any panic. But you must be careful. Once it gets dark, never leave your mentor's house."

"I remember."

Xia Bolay turned to look at Harrick again: "In a word, do you want to do it or not?"

Harrick also became serious: "How to divide the money?"

Xia Bolai had already thought about it: "Listen to my proposal first."

"Rosen is a painter. His importance is self-evident. Learning spells will be expensive in the future, so he will take half. For the remaining half, you will get 30% and I will get 20%."

Rosen nodded: "I agree."

Harrick also nodded: "A pig like you finally has a conscience. That's okay, I'll join!"

Chabolai laughed with satisfaction.

Harrick was worthy of being a business boss and immediately began to offer suggestions.

"Since we are going to sell paintings, we must have a resounding name. Rosen, do you have any ideas?"

Rosen naturally thought about it.

"I am still a mage in my profession. I need to worry about my reputation and am not suitable for public appearances. How about opening an anonymous studio and calling it "Stunning Beauty"?"

Chabolai immediately shouted: "Okay, this name is resounding!"

Harrick also nodded: "This name is indeed good. It fits the theme of the painting and is straightforward and atmospheric."

Xia Bolay slammed the table: "Then, let's start work now!"

Rosen got up and walked towards the studio upstairs. After walking a few steps, he remembered something again.

"By the way, Harik, I have to rush back later to prepare lunch for my mentor. Remember to remind me."

"Understood, I will prepare it for you, and you can just take it back when the time comes."

Harrick was reliable and saved him a lot of time.

Rosen no longer had any worries. After going upstairs, he immediately began to mix paints. While mixing, he searched for materials in the harem.

His eyes flickered between the two sub-files "Quite Charming" and "Rare and Excellent", thinking about how to choose.

Selling paintings for money is a long-term job.

There are ten times more materials in the former folder than in the latter one, so it stands to reason that the former should be taken.

However, to sell a painting at a high price, not only does the painting have to be good, but it also needs the support of fame.

If a new studio wants to gain fame, it must produce some excellent works to support its appearance.

Since the studio is called "Stunning Color", let's have a stunning look.

Therefore, Rosen finally chose to find material from "Rare and Excellent".
