Master Tongtian

Afternoon.

Chengnan Market.

"Origin?"

"right."

Thrandis turned and walked towards the cabin, introducing the situation of Shabolai as he walked.

"He is the nephew of Earl Omicia, and his father is the previous Earl of Omicia."

"More than twenty years ago, Silver Moon Castle was very noisy. Even the earl unexpectedly died in an inner court conspiracy. Therefore, my aunt Sophia, who had just been promoted to high-level mage, had to take over the family's responsibility."

"If Chabollet is the only son of a count, then that doesn't mean anything, but he has a brother above him."

"His name is Vobos Omicia. He is a powerful warrior at the pinnacle of high level and the commander of the Second Army of Silver Moon."

"Fubos is smart and capable, with a cold temperament, but he is not broad-minded. But legally, he is the first heir to the next earl."

"The age difference between the two brothers is about ten years. When the old count died, Vobos was already a teenager, while Chabolais was still in his infancy."

"So Sophia replaced her mother with her aunt and raised him with her own hands. It is said that because of this, Vobos was very jealous of his biological brother."

"So, you understand?"

Rosen nodded slowly, gaining a deeper understanding of Xia Bolai.

He was already jealous of his elder brother, and his status, reputation and even force were not as good as his.

If Chabolai had not slandered himself and instead acted wisely and bravely, life would probably be even more difficult than it is now.

"It turns out that uncle is also suffering."

Thrandis sighed.

"Children of big families rarely have real peace and real family ties. It's common for brothers to turn against each other and become enemies."

"For example, my brother, as soon as my father died, he wanted to immediately wipe out the shame of my family."

"During that time, Anna and I kept fighting, acting weird and crazy, and being rejected by the family, so we simply stayed away from Winter City and came to this small rural place called Silver Moon Castle."

"In total, I haven't had contact with my family for three years. I guess my brother has already considered me dead."

"Haha~ This is good. Although I will be looked down upon by others without the protection of the family, I don't have to bear the responsibilities of the family. I can feel relaxed and free. Especially, it also made me lucky enough to meet my dearest and smartest apprentice."

It was Alice's time now. She turned to look at Rosen, her eyes smiling like two crescents.

Rosen smiled: "Mentor, this is also my luck."

The two of them walked back to Thrandis' cabin, one behind the other.

After entering the door, Alice walked straight upstairs: "The house is a bit messy, and I smell of mud and fire smoke."

Rosen immediately cheered up: "Teacher, please rest first, and leave everything to me."

He immediately started busy.

Clean up the house, boil water, mop the floor, light the fireplace, and prepare dinner.

When doing these things, you basically rely on the hands of the mage, and you are stuck at the limit of your own abilities.

The core tenet of the ‘Thousand Hands and Ten Thousand Thoughts’ training method.

"Move forward all the way, pushing the boundaries of the limit every moment."

About an hour later, at the cost of dropping several porcelain bowls, Thrandis's cabin had a completely new look.

The bathtub is filled with hot water, bath towels, bath balls, and a change of clean clothes are all laid out, and the aroma of food in the kitchen is gradually wafting out.

Thrandis was very satisfied. Before entering the bathtub, she said: "You don't have to serve me today. You go downstairs and clean yourself up."

"Yes, mentor."

Rosen thumped downstairs.

He was not so particular and just took a cold shower.

After hurriedly washing up, he went to the kitchen to quickly process the ingredients.

After Thrandis washed herself and put on clean clothes, Rosen immediately cleaned the bathroom and soaked a change of clothes.

The work was done very skillfully and could be completed in ten minutes.

Finally, everything was tidied up.

The master and apprentice sat on both sides of the newly purchased dining table, enjoying the delicious dinner in silence.

After eating for a while, Thrandis asked: "Will you still sell beauty paintings in the future?"

Rosen said without hesitation: "Sell it. If you don't sell it, where will the money come from?"

Although I have made a lot of money recently, who would argue with having too much money?

Thrandis' willow-leaf eyebrows raised slightly: "Didn't you hear what President Phelan said? There will be no future for such self-destruction."

Rosen smiled softly: "You are my mentor, and my future is in your hands. What does it have to do with President Fearon?"

A smile appeared on Thrandis's face.

"It seems you understand."

"President Feren is a kind elder. He hopes that every official mage can focus on spells instead of running around working for the temple and the lord."

"He often said that fighting on the battlefield is a warrior's job, and a mage should be a pure scholar."

Speaking of this, Thrandis sighed softly: "Unfortunately, there is no Utopia in the world. One of the obligations of a formal mage is to accept the call from the temple."

"But it's not impossible to avoid it."

Rosen understood.

"If an official mage has a bad reputation and even has various problems and quirks, the temple that always boasts of being a moral model will keep its distance from you."

"Right, that is it."

Rosen understood, but he did not agree with Fearon's approach. He felt it was too idealistic and too paranoid.

Because the mage is not a pure scholar, he also has powerful power.

If you learn but don’t use it, then what’s the use of all the hard work?

What's the point of life if you have the unique ability to slay dragons but live a useless life?

Of course, in this life, he was the son of a lowly robber, and his reputation was already bad. It didn't matter if he got worse, so he still had to keep painting beautiful women.

After all, nothing can be done without money.

Therefore, he still said seriously: "Thank you, instructor, for your guidance."

But the difference from before is that he said this out of respect rather than sincerity.

He had discovered Thrandis's weakness.

She is an outstanding magic genius, but because she devotes most of her time to magic, she has some shortcomings in dealing with people and is easily deceived by others.

For example, Faerun, Rosen had a vague feeling that this guy was not that kind.

If you don't know the identity of the other party, just based on what the other party did today, he will look like a selfish and scheming hypocrite.

There is no evidence, it is just an intuition generated by Rosen after seeing many different kinds of people in his previous life.

From the current point of view, Feren has an influence on his mentor, but not much. And he is able to deceive his mentor mostly because his words cater to his mentor's personality.

The mentor Anna has a withdrawn character who hates the world and devotes herself to cultivation.

Withdrawing from his reverie, he lowered his head and began to drink the broth.

While I was drinking, I suddenly felt a strange feeling in my heart, as if something familiar was approaching me.

He wondered: 'What's going on? ’

What's even more strange is that this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, and after reaching a certain level, even the soul begins to tremble slightly.

No, to be precise, it was the golden light spot recorded in the godhead that was vibrating.

A thought suddenly arose in Rosen's mind: 'Olekeya is here! ’

Sure enough, the next moment, there was a knock on the door.

‘Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk~’

There was only a knock on the door, and still no one identified himself, but the frequency of the knock was very familiar.

Thrandis said directly: "Ms. Olekeya, the door is unlocked, just come in."

‘Click~’

The door opened, and O'Lekeya walked in with a smile on her face, sniffing her nose: "Do you have my share?"

While speaking, Rosen vaguely felt the other party's eyes turning on him, as if he was confused or curious, but he did not feel any hostility.

Of course, it's also possible that his rank was too low and he didn't notice it.

But one thing is certain, O'Lekeya has discovered something abnormal about him.

I felt a little uneasy, not sure if it was a blessing or a curse.

Because he had expected that the other party would come, he immediately said: "The food has been prepared for you and is warming in the pot. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he got up and went to serve.

Olekeya Chichi sat down and waved her hands to Thrandis: "Where is my bounty?"

"Here you go, 50 crowns."

"Aha~ What a huge income."

O'Lekeya put away her bulging money bag with a smile and said, "I heard you talking about beauty paintings outside the door just now?"

In the kitchen, Rosen has adjusted his mentality.

He came out with the dishes and placed them one by one in front of her: "Yes, we were talking about making money from painting. After all, this will be the main source of income in the future."

O'Lekeya was very interested. She cut a piece of bread and chewed it for a while, then suddenly said: "Rosen, your painting skills are so good, why don't you draw one for me?"

Painting is a trivial matter, Rosen nodded directly.

"I can draw you one for free, the question is how do you want to draw it?"

"Well~~ I have seen many of your oil paintings. Although they are very gorgeous, I have to say that they are also really beautiful. You can always capture the most beautiful moment of a woman very accurately."

Rosen thought to himself: "This is natural. The paintings I chose are all exquisite works made by experts in photography and photo editing with great enthusiasm and energy. How can they not look good?"

"Hmm~ You can also draw me a similar picture. Haha, Miss Thrandis, you don't mind Rosen seeing another woman's body, right?"

It was past six o'clock, which was Anna's time. She shook her head indifferently.

"Everyone has his or her own freedom, and so do my apprentices. And it's just painting."

On the side, Rosen had something in his mind: 'Taking and drawing private photos of yourself seems to be a common trait among women, and even extraordinary people are not immune to this. Maybe it can be developed into a money-making side job for me. ’

After a second thought, I threw the thought out of my mind decisively.

"No, in this world men are superior to women and there are many moral shackles. Drawing on someone else's wife's private photos can easily lead to trouble."

On the other side, Olekeya smiled with a meaningful look on her face.

"Then it's settled, I'll come find you at the Hound House tomorrow morning."

"Oh, by the way, you can only draw pictures for me to admire, but you can't exchange my appearance for money!"

Rosen shrugged: "Ms. O'Lekeya, please don't worry, I still can't bear to leave this wonderful world."

"Well, it's a wise choice~~This meat with carrot sauce is really authentic and delicious~It's so delicious."

After dinner, a certain mysterious and curious extraordinary lady finally left.

But before leaving, she turned her back to Anna and winked lightly at Rosen. Her blue eyes flickered, making Rosen feel more and more uneasy.

Anna didn't see this small detail and said calmly: "Rosen, after you come back from painting tomorrow, I will officially teach you how to write a technique paper."

"Yes, mentor."
