"If I cooperate with you in playing this boring game, will you let me go?"

God knows how much courage Ciri had to say such provocative words to the demon in front of him.

Ciri's character is like this, she never grovels to anyone.

Anyway, her life has been pinched in Qiao Xiu's hands, and the worst result is a dead end... Well, that doesn't seem good.

But the problem is that Ciri has tried to get along with Qiao Xiu with respect, and the style of those nobles in the royal court who are 'dressed in a well-mannered appearance but are full of thoughts on how to seduce men', Ciri can barely imitate a tenth.

In exchange for her own life, she found that she could not do so.

Because she couldn't feel any threat and oppression in Qiao Xiu at all...... There is no demonic contempt for humanity, nor is there contempt for servants from above.

This is the reason why she ran the train with her mouth full when she communicated with Qiao Xiu, and her true nature was completely exposed.

"That's right, I'll set you free when this shoot is complete."

Of course, Qiao Xiu understands the truth of whips and sugar, give her a small hope, and she will work hard for this hope.

"But I'll correct you a little, the next thing we're going to do is make a movie, not a game."

"Isn't it a whim for a demon to save those villagers to pass the time?"

Ciri's words were muttered to herself, but she didn't deliberately control her voice, as if to let Qiao Xiu hear.

This kind of idle aristocrat Ciri has seen so much that he should really throw them all out into the wilderness to survive in the wilderness, experience the days of eating tree bark and make them understand how precious time is.

Wait a minute... Thinking of this, Ciri suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten for almost a day.

The hunger in her abdomen made her give up the idea of continuing to fight with Qiao Xiu, and began to turn up the small package under the magic robe she was wearing.

Ciri found that there was nothing to eat except for a bunch of drawings and pens that were useless.

No, there is still half a bark trunk under the package!

Ciri's excitement was no less than that of Geralt the witcher who had discovered a certain Gwent card master, who had just taken out this bark stem from his package, and before he could take a bite, he noticed that Qiao Xiu looked at her a little strangely.

"What? Haven't seen the bark trunk of a cocoa tree? This tree is a delicacy in the human world...... Well... I'm serious. ”

Ciri said that he couldn't make it up later, and his poor side of having no money to eat was exposed to others, which made Ciri a little embarrassed.

"I want to ask you that you drew this?"

Qiao Xiu was holding a blank piece of paper in his hand, which had fallen out of Heri when he was rummaging through things in his package just now.

On the white paper is a sketch landscape, a stream, a grove, a simple grill, and a campfire, and the black and white tones perfectly outline the scene of a camping picnic under the night sky.

"Where did you find it! Oh no, give it back to me! ”

Ciri suddenly realized that this had fallen out of her bag, and she immediately stepped forward to snatch the painting from Qiao Xiu's hand.

But her status as a magician and the blessing of the negative state of hunger doomed Ciri to have a basically zero chance of snatching the painting back from Qiao Xiu.

Not only did she not grab it, but Ciri was too excited and rushed forward, causing her body to be unable to maintain balance, and she was about to fall to the ground face to the ground.

Qiao Xiu considered that the poor girl had the only little breast and part of the car, and that it might be because of this fall, he politely stretched out his hand and hugged Ciri's waist, so that her body stabilized Ciri's balance.

The hug was only loosened at the touch of a button, and Ciri still trembled, and immediately took a few steps back.

It's the first time that Ciri has grown so big and has been touched by a man with such a sensitive part of her stomach! It's just that before Ciri could pay attention to this problem, she found that the bark she was holding in her hand had dried up on the ground!

She hurriedly ran to Qiao Xiu's side, picked up the piece of bark on the ground, and patted it a few times.

It should be no problem! Ciri once heard a famous archmage say, 'If the food falls on the ground, pick it up and eat it within three seconds.' ’

"I said..."

Qiao Xiu half-squatted down and looked at Ciri like this, and began to feel a little inexplicably sympathetic to the poor magician lady.

How poor is this to gnaw on the bark every day?

"If you painted this picture, I could consider treating you to some meat."

Qiao Xiu put the picture in front of her and said.

It may be an illusion, when Qiao Xiu said the words 'please eat meat', Ciri's eyes suddenly lit up, and the reluctant look just now was completely gone.

"That's right, I drew it."

Judging from Ciri's excited appearance, Qiao Xiu really shouldn't have promised to 'let her go free' just now, he should have directly used the sentence 'Follow me in the future to ensure that you have meat to eat every day'.

"You know how to sketch?"

At first, Qiao Xiu did plan to release this magician lady after the filming of the movie was over, so that she could return to nature.

But the painting on Qiao Xiu's hand proves that Ciri has the value of making Qiao Xiu keep her.

"Sketches? What is that? I drew it with charcoal that I used to draw the magic circle, and I caught a few fish in the creek that day, and the reason for drawing it... It's for the sake of having a thought. ”

Ciri pondered it carefully, and finally explained it in this way.

As an apprentice of a traveling mage, she was still not very rich, and the burden of ordinary spell casting materials put her in a state of poverty.

This kind of life has allowed Ciri to develop a good craft, and she is particularly good at catching fish with thunder and lightning, and catching rabbits with fire and mist.

One of the only specialties is that I can draw a little bit.

"Did you teach yourself all this?"

"Who else can teach if you don't learn it yourself, just the paints used by those court painters can top my food money for twenty years, and if they teach me, it is estimated that I can't afford to pay for fifty years."

"Very well, maybe I'd like to hire you officially, Miss Ciri."

Qiao Xiu didn't expect that this female magician would be a talent for painting.

It's easy to learn drawing, but it's hard to learn it, and Ciri's painting has undoubtedly stepped into the realm of 'subtlety'.

You must know that learning to paint and sketch is the most basic kung fu, and maybe some painting geniuses have indeed skipped the stage of sketching, but Qiao Xiu really learned to paint for ten years and five years for impastory.

Considering that Qiao Xiu will develop towards game design in the future, there are not too many talents who can draw.

"Employment? Not... Didn't you say you'd let me go when the movie was done? ”

Ciri nibbled on the trunk of bark she was holding, and she didn't seem to believe Josieu's promises to her, including the phrase 'Invite her to eat meat'.

And here the so-called employment must be synonymous with servitude!

"Whether you want it or not is up to you, but I think the price I offer will satisfy you." Qiao Xiu said.

"What's the price?"

"Guarantee your food money for the rest of your life."

In the future, if you want to make your cultural invasion business bigger, you will definitely need a lot of talents, and Qiao Xiu has not yet formulated specific employment conditions, but this sentence is enough to make Ciri's heart move.
