At the strong request of Marcus, even after the iron-blooded experience of the last world, Ah Zhai still did not learn how to refuse others well, not to mention that Marcus has a life-saving grace for himself, Ah Zhai hesitated for a moment or lived here, he also contracted cleaning and other work in addition to paying rent, although he did not say that his ten fingers were completely not touched by the spring water, because his cooking skills were still full of food out of his love of food, but for washing dishes, mopping the floor and cleaning up the room, he was handed over to the housekeeper to deal with, But now I am forced by life to do it myself.

Therefore, after the temporary contact with Sherlock, he still let the black cat stay with Sophia temporarily, and he still carried a sketchpad on his back to paint in the square every day for a living.

"You're really good at drawing." Sylvia is not a familiar girl, but after knowing that Mansion's family is in Makas's house and the two have become neighbors, this kind girl will still give Makas an equal gift every time she visits Marcus, and it can be seen that although Silvia's background is not one of the best, she is also wealthy.

Although Ah Zhai is a gay, he doesn't know much about the relationship between men and women, but he is not a negative emotional intelligence of the storage zài, in Sylvia's more frequent visits, Ah Zhai still saw that this girl has a girlish feelings for Marcas, she knows that her bamboo horse family is in difficulty, in order to take care of the teenager's strong self-esteem, she always brings some worthless but very practical small gifts every time she visits, such as self-baked biscuits, a very beautiful tablecloth spliced with old cloth, and a vase with a small corner but exquisite craftsmanship...... The Italian nation is a nation that loves art, especially in the handicrafts flourishing, so the handicrafts she brought are light and delicate and warm to decorate the whole house.

Ah Zhai occasionally helps to take care of it together, and his level of appreciation has been much more than ordinary after the edification of several worlds, and gradually, several people get along more and more naturally.

Ah Zhai learned that Silvia's father was a tailor, and many upper-class nobles, including Miss Sophia, who was known as the Emerald Pearl, also customized clothes for him, thinking of this, Ah Zhai simply drew some design drawings of women's clothing in his free time and handed them to Sylvia, asking her to contact her father, hoping to earn gold coins from it, and the result was naturally not expected by Ah Zhai, his design drawings quickly swept the entire upper class society and gradually radiated beyond the surrounding cities.

"Thank you." Hearing Silvia's praise, Ah Zhai couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, he actually knew that his level was still far behind many masters, but she was still very happy that her work could be liked by others.

"By the way, can you paint a picture for me?" The reddish girl said a little shyly, "I hope you can draw a picture for me, and when I am old in the future, I can still see what I looked like when I was young." ”

“…… You invited me to draw for you? Ah Zhai was a little surprised, he thought that this girl was going to talk to him and let him give more space for her and Marcas.

"Actually, I've seen a lot of artists paint Miss Sophia, but I think you're better than them." Although she was able to deal with many nobles because of her father's exquisite craftsmanship, Sylvia did not like those noble ladies very much from her heart, especially the pearl of Fei Leng Cui, who looked down on her, but in order to get a lower price from her father, they reluctantly accepted her in the circle, and Sophia was even more arrogant, treating her like a maid every time.

The other day was the coming-of-age party of Kate, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Sith, and the late Grand Duke Sophia, after giving her host a gift, began to show off her newfound portrait to everyone. Everyone knows that the Conte family has sponsored many artists, and therefore many painters are willing to serve their family, and the girls present are either envious or jealous or because of their status, they have pursued this pearl held by their father in the palm of their hands and intentionally or unintentionally left their masters aside.

Kate, who was snubbed, trembled angrily, her relationship with Sophia was not good, which made her have to wonder if Sophia did it on purpose, but her father was only an earl and the family could only occupy the last seat in the parliament all these years, she was sad but had to force a smile, and Sylvia has always been a straightforward and sincere girl, after seeing her friend's plight, she cleverly used the latest clothes to lead the topic over, and thus successfully angered Sophia, and ridiculed Sylvia's father, Sylvia has always been a generous girl, but at this moment she only felt that her heart was on fire, although her father was a tailor, but he relied on his own ability to support himself and bear the family's livelihood, she never felt that her background was lowly and despicable, and she never thought that her father's identity as a businessman was inferior, so after seeing the painting of Ah Zhai, she thought of the idea of slapping Sophia hard.

"Your Excellency, the Pope." In the Vatican Papal Palace, you can see all kinds of lifelike murals everywhere, the successive popes are all noble, have received a good education since childhood, and have a good artistic accomplishment, so after years of development, the entire Papal Palace appears more and more noble and elegant, Ian saluted Pope Timothy fifty respectfully.

"Haha, Ian, my dear child, is your father okay?" Timothy was a thin old man, full of silver hair, with a compassionate expression, and from his face there was naturally a compassionate temperament that made people want to get close to him.

"My father has always been good." Ian raised his head slightly and held the palm of the old man's hand, which seemed to be a little trembling because of his weakness, and respectfully dropped a kiss, "I heard that you contracted a cold not long ago, please be sure to bless your body." ”

"Ian, come." Waving off the attendants who had followed, Timothy lovingly motioned for the young man to follow him, "It's been a long time since I've spoken to you, my child, I heard that you were attacked on the way here. ”

"Yes, the betrayers have been repulsed, and the pension has been paid." Ian replied respectfully after the old man, on the one hand, he felt very grateful to this uncle, who had taken him to the Holy See after his mother's death, but on the other hand, he had a faint suspicion of the doctrine because of the birth of his cousin Croze.

God loves the world, he is merciful, merciful, just, pure, as the pope who is the representative of the world, even if mortals cannot do God's existence, but at least they should not do things that are contrary to God's will, and his uncle has a very loving illegitimate son who is flesh and blood.

So, is God's will wrong?

Or is there no such thing as a god in this world?

……

Ian grew up in the Holy See, he secretly controlled himself from thinking about it anymore, although he had seen the infighting in the family for a long time, the change of power within the church, but his heart still contained a purity, and now this purity is gradually dyed by the whole world with other colors.

"You're doing a great job." Timothy smiled gently, he was five years older than his sister, almost watching the little baby in swaddling clothes grow into a slim girl little by little, the wedding of his sister and brother-in-law was still presided over by him himself, at that time he thought that his sister would be able to continue to be happy, but after a few years he received the news that his sister had died and his brother-in-law had married another person, and the cardinal, who was already thirty years old at that time, cried all night in the confessional, No one knows how this young man who loved his sister once knelt in front of the statue and prayed for a miracle to come and save his poor sister, but nothing happened in the end, how much he once believed in God and how much he hated God now, and that is why Kroze was born after that, even though Kroze's mother was just a down-and-out shepherdess, but he did it anyway as a revenge on God.

At one time, he actually regarded his nephew as the only blood relative, this child who inherited his sister's good looks was humble, intelligent, calm and decisive, but when the shepherdess died of illness and left that thin little child, he finally relented, how pitiful should the child who lost his mother and could not get his father's care be, did he also feel lonely and sad like his poor nephew?

"Uncle, how is Croze's health?" The two slowly entered the garden through the back door, and it was the blooming season of the purple lilies, and the large purple flowers in the garden gathered into a sea of flowers, stretching their branches and leaves in full bloom in the sun.

"He's still like that." Because of the poor drinking and sometimes the premature child became more and more frail and sickly, he could only stay in bed all the year round to recuperate, thinking of this, Timothy's heart was sour, if it weren't for his own negligence, this child was afraid that even if he was not as talented as his nephew, he would at least be able to run and jump like a normal child.

"By the way, uncle, this is a letter from your father." Silent for a moment, Ian handed over the letter he had brought to Timothy, and that night they finally killed all the pursuers, but most of their own men and horses were killed and wounded, and even the captain of the escort Yarman was killed on the spot, Ian did not dare to stop to collect their bodies, he took the remaining more than a dozen people to cross the Ambrizette Mountains overnight, regardless of the tired horses, shortened the week's journey to three days, and arrived at the Vatican, and the horses that sat down were convulsed and died on the spot! After contacting the Conti family's guard stationed in the Vatican, he ordered someone to collect the body, and only after he calmed down did he have time to meet the Pope, and even the letter in his hand was later recovered from the station.

"Yes, I know." Timothy nodded and took the envelope from Ian's hand, but he hesitated in his heart how to reply, after all, he did have the idea of asking Sophia to marry Croze before, but it was just ...... He looked at his nephew, who had obviously had a bit of slaughter in his temperament after the bloody fight, and couldn't help but sigh.
