Early morning.

Sunshine Cottage.

At breakfast, Rosen couldn't help but sigh: "Mentor ~ The higher the number of stars, the more difficult it is to improve." In the last few days, it feels like there has been no progress at all. ”

He took a hard bite of the fluffy white bread and added: "Sometimes there is even an illusion that you do not advance but retreat." ”

Thrandis comforted softly: "Don't worry, you are still so young, as long as you keep practicing, you will never regress." You feel regressed, it's because you're too tired after a day of practice, and you're in poor shape. ”

"If you don't believe it, get up the next morning and look at it again, and I'm sure it's a little better than the morning before."

Rosen naturally understands this truth, but after experiencing the rapid progress some time ago, he feels that the current improvement speed is like a turtle crawling.

People who are accustomed to eating big fish and meat are a little difficult to swallow in the face of pickled vegetable steamed buns.

The most important thing is that he obviously has seven extraordinary fire spells that are quite powerful, but at this moment, because of his lack of spell casting ability, he can only stare dryly.

It's like not doing anything when facing a naked beauty, it's really a sigh.

In the face of this, Thrandis couldn't help it, and he couldn't start training from an early age, which was a deficiency that Rosen couldn't make up. Now this situation can only take time to boil slowly.

Although she can still break through the life-and-death barrier, she is reluctant to let Lawson go out on an adventure.

After breakfast was quickly finished, Thrandis stretched and yawned.

"I didn't sleep well last night, I want to make up for it."

She went upstairs to rest.

Lawson continued to train spell-casting skills according to the 'Thousand Hands and Ten Thousand Thoughts' training method taught by his mentor.

While he was concentrating, the gardener came running and reported, "Master, Mr. Harrick has come to visit." ”

"Uncle Harrick is here~ Invite him in!"

Rosen liked the red-haired red-bearded uncle very much, because he would give him money every time he came.

Soon, Harrick, who was neatly dressed and in good spirits, was sitting in the living room.

Now, he is also in a carriage, although it is a low-end carriage of less than 300 crowns, but it is also out of the life of mud legs.

"Tell me, Uncle Harrick, what do you want to see this time?"

Harrick laughed, took a notebook from his purse and handed it to Rosen.

"The last time you said that you would only draw four pairs a month, after I spread the news, many gentlemen expressed their great sadness and hoped that you could speed up the frequency, and the price was not a problem."

Rosen shook his head: "No, no, no, the world of magic is vast, and painting is just my side job, and it can't take up too much time."

As he spoke, he flipped through his notes to see the requirements.

Harrick said to himself: "I knew this was the case, so I held a qualification auction, four pairs a month, and the highest bidder will get it." ”

Lawson smiled: "Well, it's long overdue, so how much can you sell this time. The Golden God is above, and this request is too much! ”

The smile has become a shock.

Harrick naturally knew the content of the request, and smiled awkwardly: "It's a bit excessive, but the customer gave a full 1,000 crowns, you know, it's a lot of money."

"1,000 crowns. Has my worth risen so much all at once? ”

Harrick nodded his head in reverence.

"Rosen, you don't know how famous you are now, everyone says that you are a master of flow numbers, a sage of the stars, and a great master of gravity."

"In short, your paintings are already highly collectible and can be used as family heirlooms."

"Well, that's right."

Although he hasn't been out much these days, he can probably expect this situation, and after thinking about it, he made a new decision: "Then I'll only paint one for a month, and the highest price will get it." ”

"Also, the subject matter must not deviate too far from morality. For example, this time, the theme is already touching the limit of what I can bear, and I won't draw it after a while. ”

"After all, I also have to worry about reputation."

Forget about ordinary books.,After all, it's human nature.。 If the theme is too perverted, not to mention that he is difficult to accept, it is really bad to paint too much.

Harrick doesn't care, because he's not short of money now, and if Rosen paints less, it doesn't necessarily mean that he will make less, maybe he will make more.

He shrugged his shoulders with a little schadenfreude on his face, "Oh, those old gentlemen are going crazy now."

"Whatever, haha."

Rosen looked down and continued to look at the request, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the painter was asking too much.

"The golden god is above, this is no longer a moral slippage, but a very serious moral decline! How can the temple give out confession vouchers? ”

This world is no better than the earth, and the issuance of confession coupons still has some bottom lines, and the content of the confession will be reviewed before distribution.

As soon as he finished speaking, Harrick found out ten confession tickets.

"It is true that morality has been lost, but the god of gold is the god of wisdom and mercy. As long as this soul has a repentant heart, he will never give up on saving. ”

Rosen understood: "Oh, praise God."

Turning his head to look at the notebook again, he saw that it was written.

'I have five beautiful young daughters, and every time I look at my daughters, I feel a surge of love in my heart. Tragically, this is not father-daughter love, but lovers' love. ”

"I know that if I don't control it, it's going to ruin them, and it's going to ruin me."

"Even if I can bear the harsh criticism of the world, but I am already old, whether physically or mentally, I can't carry the love for my five daughters, maybe I should only have one, but I don't want to be partial."

"Lust eats away at my reason like a poisonous snake, and just when I couldn't control my desire to put it into practice, you appeared."

"Master Rosen, please help me and let me make my wish come true in the world of imagination."

Rosen sighed, and suddenly felt that his profession had become a little greater.

Because his paintings have a good chance of succeeding in preventing a father from falling into real moral decay, and thus preventing a family tragedy from happening.

He asked, "What about the portraits of the daughters?"

"No, but if you agree, this gentleman will arrange for his daughters to come to Sunshine Cottage as guests."

"You don't have to be a guest, because my mentor likes to be pure. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock in the morning, I will pass by the gate of the courtyard, and I will just take a look. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Rosen asked the specific requirements: "Uncle, is it better to draw as much as possible?"

"Yes, it's better to be exactly the same, and the details must be full."

"Exactly the same. Okay, but you tell your employer that I'm not going to be too explicit and I'm going to do some reasonable masking of sensitive areas. ”

"If he doesn't agree, then I won't take the order."

Now he is a big man, and he is not bad for money, so he must cherish his feathers.

Similar to such a theme of moral decay, for the sake of a large number of gold coins, he took it, but he could not fully follow the employer's requirements.

After all, although his moral bottom line is a little lower, it still exists.

Harrick nodded in agreement, "You're right, after all, it's not what it used to be." With your current reputation, you're not bad at customers. ”

I thought that there should be nothing wrong today, but I didn't expect that after a while, Xia Lina, who I hadn't seen for more than a month, came.

"Miss Summera, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Lawson greeted her and poured her tea.

Xia Lina took the tea and drank most of the cup.

"Rosen, you have become more and more famous recently, and everyone who knows words in the streets and alleys is discussing you, your flow number, your law of gravity, and your private life."

Rosen corrected: "To be precise, it's the number of streams between the mentor and me."

Charina shrugged her shoulders, "Who made Miss Thrandis so low-key?"

After another sip of tea, she asked, "Have you been free lately?"

"I've been working on spells lately, is there anything I need help with?"

"It's not a big deal. It's that the temple wants to find you to order a batch of gravitational spell rune stones. ”

Rosen became interested: "Give money or obligation?"

Runestone is a one-time artifact that is easy to make, inexpensive, and easy to use, but of course has many limitations.

For example, the effective time is limited, it is easy to trigger by mistake, and various rune stones of the same kind are easy to interfere with each other.

In short, when going out, the mage will carry some rune stones with him, but no more than three.

"Of course give money. The temple will not endlessly let the mage fulfill his obligations, of course, the temple does not have a lot of money, and I hope you will give it a discount. ”

"Of course there are discounts, but I have many kinds of gravitational spells, and not all spells are suitable for constant entry rune stones."

"Just the one you jumped out of the battlefield last time, and the one who broke through. The same half. ”

"These two spells can be fused into runestone, but they are not safe. If it is triggered by mistake, or if you don't choose a suitable place to use it, you will kill yourself or fall to your death. ”

Xia Lina laughed: "Don't worry, of course there will be training before use." As for the problem of false triggering, it depends on your skill as a mage. ”

Since this is the case, Rosen said: "Let's talk about it first, although I can build spell rune stones, but I am a beginner, and my speed is very slow, and I can only build five in a day."

This is true, although making rune stones is a basic skill that every mage must have, he has only just started learning spells for a short time, and although he can create rune stones, he can only be said to be just getting started.

After a pause, he felt that his broken craft might cost someone's life.

He suggested, "If the temple is willing to ask for a share of the guild for me, I can sell these two spells publicly in the mage's guild."

The division of the mage's guild has always been a mystery, the big people are divided into countless people, and the small people are divided into big people's moods, but Rosen believes that no one dares to black the temple's money.

Xia Lina looked disdainful: "Can't you get out of the cash box?" Do everything you can to trouble the temple. ”

"Who made me poor?"

"Five pills a day is enough, anyway, it's not urgent. Order 200 first, the same 100. 6 kroner a piece, right? ”

"No problem, but why do you have to ask me to make it?"

"Okay, I'll give you money, the main thing is to ensure the quality, after all, you're gravity Oh no, now it's time to call the creator of gravitational spells. And the craft of this thing, if you do a few more, you will be proficient. ”

"Understood."

After saying the matter, I thought that Xia Lina was leaving, because she has always been a resolute character.

Unexpectedly, she was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Rosen, do you want to accept an apprentice?"
