Chapter 33 Yes, Mentor, I have written it down
Although Thrandis's symptoms were strange, they did not threaten Lawson's personal safety, nor did they affect his ability to learn magic.
So, just see the trick and dismantle it.
"Mentor, this is the painting I promised you, do you think you should move upstairs now?"
"Oh~ Rosen, my dear apprentice, you are a gentleman who keeps your promises. Come on, come on, move it up, hang it on the wall. ”
Thrandis was like a little girl, bouncing ahead to lead the way.
When he came to the second floor again, Rosen had lost the anxiety of yesterday, and when he followed Thrandis's guidance and moved the painting to the wooden bed, he discovered some details that he had not noticed yesterday.
It turned out that there was a small door hidden on the wall on the right side of the wooden bed, and because of the angle, it was impossible to find it if you didn't look carefully.
The small door was closed so that it could not be seen inside, but the doorknob was polished to a very bright light, and the floor under the door was lighter than the other places, indicating that people were often entering and exiting from here.
'What's in it?' ’
Rosen was curious, but after all, this was Thrandis's house, and since the owner didn't take the initiative to explain it, he naturally didn't want to explore it deeply.
Thrandis seemed completely unaware of Rosen's slight distraction.
She was still very excited: "Hang here, hang here, ah, wait a minute, lift the cloth, let me see how the painting goes." ”
The moment he lifted the veil and saw the picture clearly, Thrandis couldn't help but cover his mouth and let out a low cry.
"Is this really me? I didn't expect that I would be so beautiful~~"
Her face was flushed, her eyes were full of wonder, and she looked at the painting for a long time, and then suddenly turned around and grabbed Lawson's hand tightly, her face full of excitement.
"My dear apprentice, you have eyes that are good at catching beauty."
"This painting of yours has made me reacquaint myself with myself. I never thought that my body would be so beautiful~ It's a pity ......"
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly dimmed, and her tone lowered.
"It's a pity, I'm a mortal after all, time flies like an arrow, and soon, the young bird will fly off my shoulder."
"When youth passes, the compact and smooth skin will become saggy, full of wrinkles, and the chest will also dry up, turning into two dry water bags."
"Clear eyes will become cloudy and sallow, my body will become bloated, I will become ugly, and at the end, life will be gone."
"I'm going to be buried in the dark, damp ground, to be gnawed by rats and insects......."
In the almost dreamlike words, Thrandis became very depressed, exuding a desolate and lonely aura.
"yes, life is short."
Rosen's voice rang out in the room, full of emotion.
A hint of surprise flashed in Thrandis's eyes.
"Junior apprentice, the young bird has just fallen on your shoulders, and your life has not fully bloomed, how can you have such an sigh?"
Of course, it can't be said that Rosen experienced it in his previous life, but although this life was short, he also witnessed the withering of many lives.
He sighed, "There are many things in the world that you don't have to experience to experience. ”
"I've seen buds that die in the middle of the process, I've seen flowers that are trampled on when they're in full bloom, and I've seen the desolate appearance of flowers after they wither."
"In this world, everyone has a love for beauty, a beautiful face, and a strong physique, which is everyone's favorite."
"Seeing the treasures that belong to you, a little bit from between your fingers and unable to change them, will naturally be sad."
Thrandis froze, and looked at Rosen with fixed eyes.
After looking at it for a long time, his stagnant gaze reactivated, but a crystal tear flowed from the corner of his eye.
"My dear apprentice, you are so clever that your future achievements will surely shine in the golden land."
This sentence brought Rosen back to his senses from his sadness.
He smiled and said, "Mentor, what you said is too exaggerated, in fact, everyone will feel the same way, but I can express it more clearly. ”
He saw a protruding wooden strip nailed to the wooden wall behind the bed, and guessed that it was for the painting, so he held it up and put it up.
"Mentor, can you put it in this position?"
"Well, a little further left, yes, that's it. Na~ Give you a nail, but it's going to be fixed, I don't want to be smashed in the middle of the night when I go to bed. ”
After hanging the painting, Thrandis stopped at the bedside to admire it, as if he couldn't get enough of it.
It wasn't until Rosen reminded her that she came back to her senses and followed him to the first floor for dinner.
"Hmm~ My dear apprentice, lunch tastes good, but compared to the food you cooked, there is a little less heart in it."
Rosen said secretly in his heart: "No, you said that I don't have to bother, but I forgot about it after only a few hours." ”
Of course, it can't be shown, it can only be guaranteed.
"Mentor, please forgive me for my negligence, I will cook with my own hands in the future."
"Uh~ Sure enough, it's still the father who loves his daughter the most."
As he spoke, Thrandis stood up, leaned over the table, and kissed Rosen on the lips.
"This is a little reward from a daughter to her father."
Rosen was rather speechless: "Mentor, even if it is an expression of intimacy, the daughter should not kiss her father's lips, but her forehead." ”
Thrandis blinked, "But we're not really father and daughter." And as a guru, there is nothing wrong with me kissing my disciple out of love in my heart. ”
Rosen couldn't be rectified by her, so he could only bury his head in silent bread.
After filling his stomach, it was Lawson who cleaned up the dishes as usual.
Thrandis stood by and watched, reminding him from time to time.
"Pay attention to the use of mage hands, but also pay attention to the fact that as imaginary creations, mage hands are not only one, they can be two, three, or even countless of them."
Rosen's heart moved, and he immediately turned around and thanked him: "I understand, mentor." ”
He immediately tried to imagine two mage hands, and it was fine, it was easy.
Continuing to try the hands of the three mages, the result was a bit beyond the limit, one of them didn't hold back, and immediately smashed a ceramic teacup.
"Don't be discouraged, failure is the mother of success. But you still have to pay attention, after all, I am not wealthy. ”
"I'll take notice, Mentor."
Lawson temporarily regained the state of the two mage hands, and decided to practice with stones as a substitute when he had free time.
"Oh, by the way, Lawson, remember to go buy a new tub later, and then boil warm water, I'm going to take a shower in the afternoon."
Rosen secretly cried out in his heart.
He's penniless now, and the money from the sale of his paintings hasn't arrived, so why should he buy a new bathtub?
But there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there will definitely be a solution, but if it doesn't work, let's go to Harrick and borrow money.
Thankfully, Harrick is much more reliable than Chapole.
These psychology will naturally not be expressed, because the weak are not qualified to be capricious, and the strong can be wanton and chic.
So, he only had respect on his face.
"Yes, Mentor, I made a note of it."
"By the way, and remember to buy me some new clothes. The teacher's dress was worn out, and it was undignified to go out in such clothes. ”
"Yes, Mentor, I made a note of it."
"I forgot to say it. Take advantage of the time to buy a bathtub and buy a screen to come back, so that it will be much warmer to separate a separate shower room upstairs. ”
"Yes, Mentor, I made a note of it."
"Oh, and there's my dirty laundry upstairs, remember to wash it."
"After the underwear is dried, it must be carefully dried with charcoal fire to drive away the sickness. Outer garments should be washed carefully to prevent the cotton cloth from pilling. ”
"Yes, Mentor, I made a note of it."
'Ha~~~'
Thrandis yawned and stretched lazily.
"Then, my dear apprentice, mentor, I'll go take a nap first, and when everything is ready, come and wake me up."
"Yes, Mentor."
She turned and went upstairs.
Rosen took a deep breath, suppressed the fucking feeling in his heart, quickly cleaned the dishes, and quickly ran out the door, galloping towards Harrick's hound house.
There are too many things, and it is no longer enough to paint people in exchange, so you have to borrow money from Harrick.
And in front of the window on the second floor of the House of Thrandis, the beautiful woman with long fiery red hair was reclining on the edge of the windowsill, watching Lawson fly away.
A serious female voice suddenly sounded in the air.
"Alice! You're such a fool! You're going to scare him away! ”
The girl smiled softly.
"Anna, I saw a burning passion for magic in his eyes. He would never give up his studies because of this trivial matter. ”
"I know you're probing his character and abilities, and I agree with you, but you're too anxious, he's only a half-grown teenager, not our father."
"But didn't we say it? I'm in charge of my time, Anna. ”
"Humph!"
"Do you want to fight again?"
"Boring!"
"Okay, okay, sister, if you really feel sorry for him, then comfort him more in the time that belongs to you."
"I don't care how much I can comfort you."
"I really regret my decision!"
"Hee-hee~~"
