Chapter 69

The children's painting class in the north wind went well. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

She is really good at painting, if not enough to be an artist, at least she is an excellent painter. What's more, she has absolutely no perfunctory intention of teaching children to draw, but has taken out twelve points of seriousness and meticulousness.

She is not like those crooks on the earth who tinker with the so-called "children's paintings", making some simple figures for children to copy, but really starting from the basic skills of painting - structure, line, color, layout...... And so on.

And the first lesson she taught was "sketching squares".

Sketching refers to the use of pure black to depict things. Great painters, such as Sui Xiong, only need a pencil to draw pictures that make readers clearly feel power, speed, temperature and even emotion, while ordinary enthusiasts can at least draw some less complicated things decently, so that people can know "Ah, this is this" at a glance.

What the north wind is talking about is the simplest in the sketch, drawing a square.

She placed a square piece of wood on a plate and taught the children how to draw the square "like".

This is easier said than done. Beifeng taught them almost hand-in-hand, one by one, and for almost a week, only the squares drawn by four or five children had a slight appearance, so that people would not see anything else.

These children are either more gifted or have a certain foundation. Overall, it's a makeover.

As for the other children, it's far from it. Some of the worst drawings are distorted and messy, even the basic frames, and it's impossible to see what they are.

If you change to an irritable teacher, you probably can't help but sweep them away. But the north wind didn't do that, and she showed patience that amazed Wood, dividing the children into three parts according to the progress and educating them in a targeted manner.

Needless to say, the children who are making fast progress are no problem, and the progress is mediocre, but the slow progress makes her spend amazing time and energy.

In Beifeng's painting classroom, there are no lazy people on the earth who "eat all day long and don't care", and there are no bear children who not only don't work hard, but also make trouble for others. Every child who came to learn to draw was very serious and attentive, and they all practiced hard after returning - this can be seen from the children who are making rapid progress.

And those children who are slow to make progress, they have neither the foundation nor the talent, and the reason why they don't draw things is because they can't build "shapes" in their minds, so their brushstrokes are so messy.

The basic skills of horizontal lines, vertical lines, and arcs can be mastered by hard practice, but how to configure them in your mind is definitely not something that can be explained clearly in one sentence.

When Beifeng was learning to paint, the teacher never told her how to teach others to master this ability - people who don't have this kind of talent are not suitable for being painters at all, and they will be eliminated directly.

But she didn't want to, she hoped that she could do things well and establish herself in Pyroxene City.

An ordinary teacher, and a good teacher who is respected, have a completely different social status!

For a spy, being a respectable teacher is pretty much the best disguise.

Of course, if you can become the top of a country, this disguise will definitely be better. But this kind of thing is hard to come by, and what even Wood can't do, North Wind doesn't think he can do.

However, to be a respectable teacher means to pay more than to be an ordinary teacher.

More time, more energy, more effort.

Wood saw that she was working so hard, so he advised her not to be too desperate, after all, the identity of a teacher is just a disguise, and if this identity is too good, there may be unexpected trouble.

"You see, I was just going to be a carpenter, but then Ferex saw my woodcarving and became a woodcarver. Then he became an artist, and now he is a great artist......" Wood smiled wryly and sighed, "Do you think I can still be a good spy in my current situation?"

The north wind looked at him calmly and shook his head.

"yes, I can't. Wood sighed, "A spy, the best cover is not a brilliant identity, but that feeling of obscurity." If I had been a humble carpenter, I might have been even better at espionage. ”

Beifeng frowned slightly, she knew that Wood had a point, even though it wasn't the same as what was taught in the spy training class.

"When we were trained, the instructor said that 'a good identity is the best cover', which is of course not wrong, but a good identity also needs more time and energy to operate while playing a covering role, and at the same time will shoulder greater social responsibility. Wood said, "Our intelligence station isn't the type with plenty of manpower, just the two of us, how much do you think we can do?"

Beifeng thought for a moment and nodded.

"You're right, you've already taken up too much time with woodcarving, and if I spend too much time on painting education, intelligence gathering will be greatly affected. ”

So she got sick, very sick. According to the doctor, it is the accumulation of work.

"You've worked too hard during this time, and you need to recuperate for a few days. The doctor who was born in the medical major of New Oriental Comprehensive Technical School confirmed Beifeng's condition after a little diagnosis, "It is not troublesome to recover from this disease, but remember not to work too hard in the future." In a situation like yours, if you repeat it repeatedly, it can easily accumulate into a serious illness. When the time comes...... It's really troublesome!"

After the news spread, the parents of those children who were slower came to the door, saying that they wanted their children to drop out of school and stop learning to draw. Even many parents of children with ordinary progress have come to talk about this matter.

"Why?" asked Beifeng in surprise, "Although their progress is relatively slow, they have studied very hard!"

But she is just making a gesture, and specially uses confidential drugs to make herself "sick from overwork", isn't that just for this!

A few days later, the north wind recovered, and only about half of the students in her painting classroom remained.

(That's enough.) )

Looking at the more than 20 children, Beifeng sighed, but he was secretly smiling in his heart.

Without the drag of those children who lack talent, it will be much easier for Beifeng to teach. In just two or three months, the faster children were almost complete with the "Simple Still Life" course, and it was time to take them outside to learn colors and drawing.

This is also the most fundamental reason why she set up this painting class - with this group of children as a cover, she will spy on certain places and draw some pictures, and she will not be suspected.

A person who sits there and paints will be suspicious of anyone who looks at it. But the painting teacher is drawing with a group of children, and even the most wary person will not suspect anything.

A few days later, she tried to do it once. This time I went to the South Gate of Pyroxene City, and of course the painting is the South City Gate.

The walls and gates of Pyroxene City were designed by Sui Xiong. He adopted the ancient Chinese architectural style, the city walls and gates are extremely thick, coupled with the existence of the urn city, it is obviously not a complex structure, but it has a convincing sense of security.

A group of children who had just been learning to draw for a few months, of course, could not draw a very similar picture of the city gate, so Beifeng drew a demonstration map for them.

This demonstration picture uses the sketching technique, because the light and shadow depiction is relatively omitted, and there are still disadvantages when you look closely, but for children, it is already an excellent example.

Sui Xiong, who was hidden in the air, looked at the painting, shook his head, and said, "This level, no, no, no."

With his ability, there are few painters in the world who are qualified to let him nod and say, "This painting level is good". Most of them are concentrated in the kingdom of the god of literature and art......

In fact, Sui Xiong and the god of literature and art often exchanged painting techniques, and both gained a lot. The god of literature and art even directly said, "Your understanding and attainments in the art of painting are fully qualified for this priesthood."

Sui Xiong did not resist becoming the "god of painting", on the contrary, he felt that it was very honorable - for a person who loves painting, it is of course a very honorable thing to be able to become the god of painting.

But he is no longer a simple painter, now he is the leader of a great power, responsible for the rise and fall of a church and a country. His core ideal is no longer like before the time, as long as he is a good painter, and then make some money, and live a stable life. He now wants to lead these people who believe in him and worship him to move forward and build their homes better, and he also wants to promote the progress of this society, change those unreasonable and unfair phenomena, make this society more vibrant, so that the vast majority of people can live and work in peace and pursue their own ideals.

It's a lofty goal, and for this, it takes a lot of time and energy, and it takes a lot of effort from him. Therefore, although he was once tempted, he finally rejected this proposal of the god of literature and art, and did not choose to become the god of painting.

"I want to be the god of development and progress. He said, "Painting is my hobby, and it is my ideal to promote the development and progress of the world!"

"What's wrong with turning a hobby into a priesthood?" asked the god of literature and art, "and the vast majority of gods are like this." ”

"Perhaps, but hobbies are not so important compared to ideals. Sui Xiong smiled and said, "This is the relationship between the main goal and the secondary goal, I can't confuse the primary and secondary." ”

The God of Literature and Art was silent for a moment, and asked, "Have you ever thought about how much resistance you will encounter if you really want to promote the development and progress of the whole world, or at least the entire Main Plane?"

"I've thought about it. Sui Xiong said with a smile, "Progress is not something that is said by mouth, but by hands." In this process, there will inevitably be blood and fire, and there will inevitably be swords and swords...... I've been mentally prepared for this for a long time. ”

"Even if it's the enemy of the whole world?"

"It's not going to get to that point. ”

However, soon after that conversation, a great battle broke out between the evil gods besieging the "sanctuary" of the Void Kamen God Kingdom.

Sui Xiong didn't think there was anything bad at the time, anyway, it would not be a bad thing to destroy evil. But this time, when there were many good gods among his enemies, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Perhaps...... I should have chosen to be the god of painting......" He couldn't help but say to himself when he remembered the original discussion.

In fact, he's just talking.

If you want to become the god of painting, you can do it at any time, even now.

But his ideals are not here, so he will not make this choice.

Just like the North Wind, she could have been a real pure painting teacher and a respectable figure, but she had to be a spy.

Just like Wood, he is already a respected great artist, as long as he is responsible, the Northwest Republic will give him strong protection, and no one can attack him with his past spy career.

But he still insisted on his identity as a spy and insisted on his loyalty to the Mystic Tower Federation.

Even if it hurts the people who have cared for him and taken care of him all these years, he will not hesitate to do it!

Beifeng's painting class is going well, and after more than half a year, the people of Pyroxene City have fully adapted to her presence, and they are also used to the situation where she takes a group of children to sneak out of place from time to time.

Not only that, but she also often sticks everyone's paintings outside the painting classroom for people to see.

From those works, you can clearly see the progress of the children. Their way of painting is still immature, but it is gradually getting better, and even people who don't understand art can feel that they are getting better and better.

This gave Beifeng more support, and even her request to paint "miners at work" was approved by Mr. Raif Kawat.

Of course, there was no way that Reif would have allowed her to take the children to the underground mine to paint, that would be too dangerous. He just made an appointment and asked Beifeng to bring the children to observe the situation of the miners when they got off work.

However, this is already a huge step forward.

Until then, not even a single spy had been able to infiltrate the vicinity of the Negative Energy Crystallization Mine, let alone go around the pit and observe the miners off work up close.

When the north wind sent this information back, it was praised by the secret tower federal intelligence agency.

"Finally, there is another decent piece of information!" The intelligence director looked at the illustrated information and said with a smile, "It's really a good idea to send someone to take over the work of Ninety-Seven!"

"That's true, but I would suggest clearing the Wood thing...... Isn't it a little longer?" advised his lieutenant, "at least until now, Wood has not hindered the work of the north wind, but on the contrary has helped a lot. ”

The intelligence director thought for a moment and nodded.

"You have a point, whether he defected or not, to be able to send this information back shows that he has not yet fully gone to the opposite side of us, at least not yet. There really wasn't any need to rush to get rid of him now. ”

After their discussion, it was decided to have the intelligence officers send an order to suspend the removal of Wood.

As for the channel for transmitting commands, of course, it will not be as exaggerated as directly using the teleportation array.

Anyway, both North Wind and Wood get along well during this time, so don't worry too much.

However, even they didn't expect that while this order was still being passed on the road, the north wind acted...... (To be continued.) )
