"Those who do not know the flame are not enough to paint the world; Those who are tempted by fire are not allowed to paint the world. ”

"Don't worry, Mom, I haven't forgotten ......"

With her hands propped up on a stool a few points taller than herself, the little girl in the painting world was in front of a huge canvas more than two meters high, and the shelves beside her were full of paintbrushes and mixed paints, and white light was projected through the lattice window of the attic, just shining on her body, covering a layer of white veil.

"Big brother, do you see," the little girl gestured with her hand, as if to describe the size of the canvas, but it was doubtful that her two little hands would cover the canvas completely, "and when I finish it, it will be a very cold, dark, and soft painting." ”

"Why the cold?" Zhang Lin stood beside the little girl, looking a little puzzled.

"Because ......" the little girl was stunned, she just knew that she should draw it like this, but it was not clear why.

"Because the world of painting is a world drawn by blood, cold can inhibit the rate of blood decay, so that the world has enough life." Gail's voice sounded from behind Zhang Lin, "If the corruption is difficult to remove, the priest will light the painting so that the eldest lady can see the flame, so that a new picture can be painted." ”

"Moreover, the eldest lady can only draw what she has seen, and Aredell is the one she is most familiar with."

It sounds like the opposite of the outside world, where the fire is to spread and keep the flame alive, while the world in the painting is to stay cold and dark until the end, when the flame is lit and restarted.

"Can you draw this?"

Zhang Lin took out a piece of drawing paper, on which was drawn an orc with muscles all over his body, green skin, and turned teeth, looking powerful.

"What is this? It looks pretty cute. The little girl brushed the hair on her forehead a little, and looked at the thing in Zhang Lin's hand with a pair of red eyes.

Burst! Lovely?

Zhang Lin flipped the drawing paper, and then noticed that what he took out was an orc in Q print style, so he took out some realistic painting style drawings, from scenes to characters, they were all boring works in his spare time.

"I painted them, what do you think?"

"Big brother is also very good, I can only draw one style," the little girl's eyes widened, as if she had seen a new world, and then lowered her head in some disappointment, "Although I can draw it, it is useless, I have not seen these things with my own eyes, and the drawings are just ordinary paintings." ”

"When I have a chance in the future, I'll take you to see it with your own eyes." Zhang Lin looked at the little girl with a smile and handed the drawing paper in his hand to the other party.

Holding these never-before-seen things, the little girl was full of curiosity about the outside world for a while, "Really? Can I see that too, by the way, this one has the feeling of a mother, can I see her too? ”

The little girl took out a portrait of Nuwa's descendants and looked very nostalgic.

“...... No, the eldest lady can't leave here, it's too dangerous outside. Gail shook his head, his duty to protect the eldest lady did not allow her to be in any danger.

"I can keep her safe." Zhang Lin retorted.

"Grandpa Gail......" The little girl looked at the old knight longingly, and the slightly aggrieved look made him a little unbearable.

"Unless I verify it first," Gail coughed a few times, looked at the little girl lovingly, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Lin, "If the place you said is really not dangerous, then I will agree." ”

"Great, thank you Grandpa Gail." There was a rare smile on the little girl's face.

"Okay, but it's not the time yet, you might have to wait a while."

"Looks like I've interrupted your chat, the priest has already told me about the way to get out of here to Ilusir." Ciris climbed up the attic stairs.

"Are you leaving?" looked at Zhang Lin with some reluctance, and the little girl's face that was still smiling immediately turned from sunny to cloudy.

"We still have things to do, don't worry, I'll bring a sister over to play with you in a while." Zhang Lin gently patted the little girl's head through the small round hat on her head.

"Then it's settled."

Gail accompanied Zhang Lin and Ciris downstairs, and dragged out several heavy chests from the corner, which contained some precious stones, scrolls of miracles or magic, as well as some weapons, armor, and unknown items.

While many things look a little older, they haven't lost their relevance.

"I promised to pay you enough, and Aredell has a lot of old and lost stuff that is worth it out there."

Zhang Lin picked a few gems with different attributes that could change the nature of the weapon, as well as a few special magic scrolls, and those equipment were basically not taken by him because they were too ugly.

Cialis thought that he did not contribute much, and took some symbolically and did not take any more.

"I thought you'd take more." Gail sighed, what he considered to be a treasure didn't seem to be very in the eyes of others, and clicked the box shut, pushing it back into the corner.

"Can you show me your crossbow?" When Gale turned his back to them, Zhang Lin saw the crossbow hanging from the other party's waist, and if memory serves, this thing shot like a storm.

"It's something I've spent a long time renovating myself, but every now and then I get stuck." Gale took the crossbow off and didn't hesitate, "I'll give it to you if you like it." ”

"No, I'm just curious." Zhang Lin waved his hand, in the case that people in this world basically use single-shot or even three-shot repeating crossbows, Gale can transform such a repeating crossbow by himself, and his hands-on ability is really good, this can be regarded as a handicraft master in another world.

But now that this thing looks very old, it's no wonder that he says that there will be a problem with jamming, and a weapon with such a problem obviously cannot be used as a means of saving life.

"What are you going to do after that?" Zhang Lin handed the repeating crossbow back to Gail, and then asked.

"I'm going to look for the blood with the dark souls, and the eldest lady's painting needs it to be truly completed."

"Then you may need to make a trip to the city of India."

"Oh, it should be there, the kingdom of the Dwarven King, but no one has been to that place for a long time, and not many people remember the way there." Gale muttered the name of the Ring of India, his expression a little melancholy.

"If you find a place, don't go alone, it's better to wait here for me next time."

"Why is that? Are you still willing to help me? I probably won't be able to get paid anything more worthy, after all, you don't like my stuff. ”

"I just don't want your eldest lady to lose her grandfather."
