A few days later......

Early in the morning, the painter Leonardo da Vinci was called by Chris to help inside the city hall.

As a veteran artist, I never turn down requests for paintings, especially invitations from lords.

At the marriage registry, at Ted's request, everyone who came to register their marriage was given an elaborate marriage certificate with a color photograph of the husband and wife.

Originally, all this was normal, everything was going on in an orderly manner...

Until a 60-year-old father of an excellent citizen made a request that was not excessive.

Out of the lord's people-oriented policy, the need for humane treatment is not excessive! Chris, who doubled as a housekeeper and interim mayor, did not refuse!

The 60-year-old citizen wanted to use the magic camera to help him find his son who was separated more than 20 years ago, and even if he couldn't, he begged the staff to let this magical machine transform into his poor son and appear in a family photo with the family.

Of course, Chris knew that the camera wasn't capable of that, but... Just because the camera doesn't have that ability doesn't mean people can't...

Helping him find his son can't be done, but the wish behind can be fulfilled, but it has to be drawn with a pen.

It seems that ~ Leonardo da Vinci, who is cleaning up the gallery, will be able to accomplish this task.

Because Leonardo da Vinci was a mature artist, with the face of this old father, it should be possible to imagine what his son would look like...

So Chris used his special authority to send a letter to Leonardo da Vinci in Ted's name.

Of course, this right was granted by Ted, and as long as it was not military or political, Chris could accept it with full authority.

Taking this opportunity, by the way, da Vinci can be slowly accepted by the people, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Yesterday I received the letter, and Da Vinci packed the materials early and made full preparations, and even rehearsed three times in advance what kind of smile to keep when he was scolded or sneered.

...

When the appointed time came, he dragged the materials to the livelihood department of the city hall.

At this moment, in the hall...

As a few days ago, it was full of people, and in order to prevent people from waiting in line outside, Chris came up with the idea of receiving a number to register, and if there was no extra place at the city hall, he could go to a nearby restaurant or bar and wait, so as not to wait outside and get frostbitten from the weather.

When Leonardo da Vinci came to the front of the appointment office, he saw Chris and the clerks registering together, because there were too many people coming to apply for the certificate, so Chris urgently transferred people from other departments to relieve the pressure of work here.

However, there were still not enough people, and by the time he noticed Leonardo da Vinci, it was already 20 minutes later.

Even so, Leonardo da Vinci still smiled and waited patiently.

Suddenly, a vicious couple saw this strangely dressed person! He squirted viciously at Leonardo da Vinci, "Phew! What do you do when you come to us Valentine? ”

"Phew!!"

"Huh!" Chris stretched out his arm to block the spit sprayed at Leonardo da Vinci, and rebuked the citizen in front of him: "This citizen, please pay attention to your words, this Sir Leonardo da Vinci is a person hired by the lord to improve the dilemma of cultural desert for us!" You're questioning our lord! If you have any comments, you can write a letter and put it in the mailbox! But please don't do such vulgar behavior and pull down our overall quality! ”

"This..."The illiterate northern citizen in front of him was so reprimanded by Sir Chris that he had to shut up and pretend to be honest.

After all, if you eat the food distributed by the lord, if you question him again, you will be stumped by the fanatical good citizens, and every time you receive something, you will be short of catties and two.

"I'm sorry I didn't think about it—" The vulgar man had to be deflated and returned to the group to wait patiently.

After doing this, Chris took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the stains off his sleeves, and motioned for Leonardo da Vinci to come along.

"Over here, take this road and bring good things with me~"

"Okay..."Da Vinci was very moved, since he came to the north, only a few outstanding citizens in the north will not treat him coldly, and the others will avoid him when they see him, and some even speak ill of him.

Because Leonardo da Vinci is a 'lifelong nobleman' of the 'foreign', the title of Sir is the status of a commoner nobleman in the Xueman Empire, and he is not up or down, and is looked down upon by hereditary nobles and commoners at the same time.

It's completely different from the treatment of Lord Huck Empire.

Here, how can a lifelong nobleman who has no vassals, but just a richer commoner, be on an equal footing with the hereditary aristocracy?

The common man did not like them because he was detached from the people, and not only could not intimidate others with his knighthood, but also could not make the people around him benefit from him, so the people would be jealous and sarcastic about him.

It's just that... Even if Sir is revered like the Huck Empire, it doesn't mean that the North will be like this... After all, some time ago, the citizens drew their weapons against the prince, let alone this knight.

...

On the way, Leonardo da Vinci whispered to Chris gratefully: "Thank you..."

Chris didn't mind, but responded with a smile: "Don't thank me, you should thank Lord Lord, because his plan changed my mind by the way, and half a month ago, I was not much better than the person who spat out the fragrance just now." ”

Walking upstairs, Chris stopped and waited for Leonardo da Vinci to come up.

"I just understood one truth: if you want to make the north rich and strong, you have to 'learn from each other'! It's useless to rely on humans alone, for example, before the arrival of the Moon Elves, our shortcoming was food cultivation, and after they came, they joined our northern border, and this shortness was made up by the long, and with them, the city is more exciting. ”

Hearing this, Da Vinci was confused, he didn't know what Chris wanted to express: "But, what does this have to do with the people of the North not liking me?" ”

"You are now being used by us to make up for your shortcomings, everyone has made up their minds about you for the time being, if you want to join us, you can either contribute and solve the problem of our cultural desert, or become like us... But the latter is no fun for you, because you are not from the north, and you live like a foreigner. ”

Chris didn't explain too much, just said it in a weird way.

If you tell the truth, it's too ruthless.

"Are you the tool we chose? A wrongdoer who spent money to enrich the livelihood of the people of the north? "Chris is also a nobleman, a man of face, and after the New Year, he will be promoted to a vassal baron, and he will become a hereditary nobleman, let alone say this abruptly.

The previous problem of the Moon Elves was just an inappropriate analogy, the value of the Moon Elves is immeasurable, and it is not only an insult to the Moon Elves to measure their value, but also to the human beings themselves.

Moreover, even if they don't know how to grow food, they will not be discriminated against.

Because they conform to human aesthetics, their unique temperament wanders in the mountain streams and woodlands, like a cold but touchable statue.

Moreover, they have a large number of women, which can alleviate the singles crisis in the city, in addition, accepting them will also give the city a certain amount of magical protection, whether it is effective or not, it is worth considering, plus their unparalleled night vision, it is difficult to refuse them.

And most importantly... That is Ted's desire to find a Moon Elf wife, and use his own resolution to create a pitiful image for the Moon Elves, so that the people of the North will look at them with pity.

So... The first impression of the people on the Moon Elves was very good, and it was even more natural to accept them later.

...

If the people who come are goblins, even if their abilities are even more outrageous than the moon elves, Ted will not make a good image for them and let the citizens take them in...

Because goblins do not conform to the aesthetics of human beings, let alone the so-called 'equality' of human beings.

In the eyes of most people, the value of human life is higher than that of the goblins, and advocating equality will only stimulate the desire of human beings to resist, and they will be ruthless to the goblins.

But if you change it to an aesthetic creature... There are no more such problems...

For Leonardo da Vinci, the lord Ted set up a decent character for him, and as for what happens after that, it's up to him...

"Come with me~The place is at the end of the corridor, soon~"

...

Five minutes later, Leonardo da Vinci arrived in the agreed free room.

These days, in order to integrate into the north, he shaved all the hair on his body like a native, and even his beard was gone, and his face could be seen from a long distance.

Before pushing the door in, Chris took out a note card and reminded: "This family~ is our excellent citizen model family, they are very good, as long as you are polite, you will be fine." ”

"No problem!" Leonardo da Vinci straightened his sleeves and followed Chris into the room.

Pushing open the door, two familiar faces flashed through my memory.

A voice from the bottom of his heart asked himself, "They... Who is it? ”

Ordinary citizens sitting in the vacant room, out of politeness, stood up to greet someone when they saw it.

But I never thought that this familiar and unfamiliar face made the tears of the parents slowly flow out of the corners of their eyes unconsciously...

"Son?"

The old man in front of him burst into tears, looking up at the face that was very similar to his youth, and a call from blood and soul woke him up.

Chris froze, pushing his glasses against his nose to take a closer look.

"This..."

Without the cover of beards and dense body hair, the faces of the two men are indeed very similar.

Human beings in this world have a lifespan of about 200 years, and only after the age of 150 will they age little by little from the prime of life.

So... It is easy for outsiders to judge whether a stranger is a family or not by their appearance.

"Phew—" Chris didn't speak, but walked out the door and gently closed the door behind him.

Before leaving here, he instructed the three people in the room: "I'm busy, so I won't accompany you, remember, you have to leave here before eight o'clock in the evening ~ We have to clean the city hall at night ~"

At this point, it doesn't matter if they're a family or not. Because Chris's task has been completed, there are more important things to do now, and there is no need to dwell on other people's affairs.

...

Da Vinci, who was stunned in place, and the strange man continued to look at each other, without any movement, and the pestle was at a loss in place.

In my heart, the voice sounded again: "I... Got a father? Right? I grew up in an orphanage in Blackwater in the middle of the empire, an abandoned orphan... This..."

While thinking about it, the woman next to her also acted, she smiled wryly, walked enthusiastically, stretched out her hands and grabbed Leonardo da Vinci, after a closer look, stroked his face with her hand and asked, "Michelangelo, is that you?" ”

"I... You—" Leonardo da Vinci froze in place...

It seems that this 'Michelangelo' and this tone have appeared in his life...

It was the first time he had been touched so affectionately, and the familiar feeling made his mind go blank, and he didn't know what to do next.

At this time, the old man also came to his senses and walked towards Leonardo da Vinci step by step.

"Son, where did you grow up?"

You can determine part of it just by physiognomy, but you can't be completely sure, and you can find common ground little by little from your life experience, so that you won't make trouble.

"I... He grew up in an orphanage in Blackwater in the middle of the empire, and..."When he said this, Da Vinci seemed to remember something bad and did not dare to continue.

The man patted his thigh, as if he had a heart: "the kid, didn't our child just lose it in Blackwater!" ”

"Then you're really Michelangelo! My son! After saying this, the mother sat down on the ground, unable to look directly at the young man in front of her.

She still couldn't let go of it, she was so tired that day that she just sat on the pile and took a nap before the baby was carried away.

"Michelangelo... My poor child... How much you've suffered these years, you've lost weight like this..."

The mother was so excited that she didn't know what to say, so she could only say some things that the mother should say incoherently, even though the Da Vinci in front of her was not thin at all, and even a little fat...

At this moment, Leonardo da Vinci still couldn't believe what had just happened, he pulled over a stool, trying to sit on it to relieve his excitement, but because his body was shaking, he couldn't control his hips precisely and fell to the ground.
