"Mr. Adam, go in first. The servant trotted over, and the words were much more cordial: "Please follow this path, through the main entrance parlor, and pass through the corridor on the right, and you will see Lord Alva." ”

"Please forgive Ai for not coming with you. ”

It's just that he could feel that the old man looked at him again as Ai spoke.

Adam nodded, thanked him, and walked inside, still hearing the conversation behind him.

"Mr. Ai, please let me know. The old man's voice trembled a little.

"I'm sorry, but Master Alva isn't at home. Ai opened his eyes and said nonsense, and even without looking back, Adam could feel the dark faces of the old man and the groom.

Even Adam was a little shocked, Alva's servant was a bit powerful.

At the same time, I was also a little curious, what did this nobleman ask Alva for, but Alva turned him away.

However, before entering the main entrance, Adam vaguely heard the old man talking about taking pictures for his friends or something.

"It didn't feel like Alva's image at all. Adam looked at the resplendent hall and remembered Alva's usual image, and he did feel a little disobedient.

"The corridor on the right. Adam stepped on the soft carpet and, following Ai's reminder, walked through the corridor on the right and saw a room full of portraits.

As soon as he stepped into the room, Adam frowned, and a feeling of discomfort rose in him.

It seems to be watched by countless people, and this feeling is like being picked up by the teacher to stand up and read the textbook in middle school, and as a result, the whole class laughed at because of the accent.

A wave of shame and anger rose from the bottom of his heart, making Adam instinctively want to explode.

"No, there's some kind of inducement here. But Adam quickly realized that the events of the middle school in his previous life had passed so long, and if he hadn't even thought about it, most of the things had been forgotten.

Even if he was reminded of that incident because of the same gaze and similar scenes, Adam would not have that kind of shame and anger today.

Obviously, this room has some special function, similar to blood, tracing the past, making people unconsciously reveal their own abnormalities.

Sensing this, Adam immediately calmed down his emotions and returned to his calm state.

"It's really troublesome, is it okay?" Alva's voice came, and he was standing behind Adam, dressed in a white robe and covered in various paints.

"Come with me. Alva said impatiently, turning to leave.

"Yes, teacher. Adam nodded his head and glanced at the paintings before leaving.

Most of them are portraits, a few are landscapes, and the people in those portraits seem to come to life, looking at Adam with their eyes.

Then he keenly saw a portrait of three people, which was the only one that did not feel alive, so it was a little obvious.

The portrait was very realistic, Adam didn't look at it much, and hurriedly followed Alva away.

"Wait......" The moment he walked out of the hallway, Adam sensed that something was wrong, and when he turned around, he saw not a hallway, but a portrait of the hallway.

"Teacher, this painting?" Adam asked in horror without hiding himself, and it was only then that Adam understood why the old man had given him a special look when Ai was reminding him of the path.

"And the painting. Adam remembered the three men vividly, they were three young men.

One of them, a young man who sat in the middle, smiling very happily, if he was older and unkempt, would be about the same as Alva is now.

And the other ...... "What impressed Adam was the man on the left, and the portrait realistically painted the gloomy face of that person, which inexplicably gave Adam a familiar feeling.

As for the man on the right, Adam didn't know or know him.

In the lower right corner of the painting there is also a signature: Alvar Latour.

So a name appeared in Adam's mind, the Three Masters of the Holy Voice.

"Brother Char. Comparing Brother Char's wrinkled and peaceful face with the gloomy young man, the familiarity was finally explained.

"Could it be that Alva also built the knight's path?" Adam didn't understand.

Because a person's energy is limited, genius is not absent, but there are few geniuses who are pushed to the top of both professions.

If it weren't for Adam's own bloodline abilities, Kim wouldn't have suggested that he be both a sorcerer and a knight.

Based on Alva's previous performance, Adam thinks he should be more of a sorcerer, after all, he struggles to carry a bucket of paint.

In this world, there are many ways to prolong life, but most of them believe that birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, so they will grow old and die normally.

Because of the sorcerer's focus on the soul, there are many ways to extend life, but most of them are related to xenogeneous bloodlines.

And the most normal means of prolonging life is knight cultivation, knights in the dimensional stage, as long as there are no accidents, can generally live to be about one hundred and twenty years old.

Knights who have completed the merit ritual can live to about three hundred years old, and as for how long the knights of the ascended stage can theoretically live, no one discusses this, because the first knight to become the ascended stage is still alive for more than a thousand years.

"It seems that I still know too little about supernatural powers. Adam frowned, his lack of understanding of the characteristics of powerful people in various professions was a very dangerous thing, in short, he couldn't recognize the big guy.

Luoya is a border city, and it usually seems that a group of ordinary people live here, even if they are professional, they are not outstanding, but after in-depth understanding, they will find that Luoya's water is very deep.

"You don't need to know that, just follow me. Alva walked ahead and said nonchalantly, Adam could only try to be as calm as possible.

Then you came to the real studio, with all kinds of canvases, paints, all kinds of brushes, and so on.

Alva stood in the studio and placed two objects in front of Adam.

"Your talent is really good, and you can naturally awaken your spiritual power. Alva was still frowning, and although he said words of praise for Adam, he never hid his dislike for Adam.

"Spiritual power? Is it the power formed by the mind? Teacher, do you know?" Adam was stunned for a moment, brewed his emotions in place, and asked as if he suddenly realized, which made Alva look at Adam with some complexity, Adam is indeed very talented, but he doesn't like ambitious people like Adam, this kind of person is all dead, and the world is quiet.

"Adam needs the right guidance, Alva. The words of his old friend Char were still in Alva's ears, but he and that old friend were never on the same page.

"Congratulations, Thousand Paintings House didn't pull out your mental abnormality. Instead of answering Adam's question, Alva said congratulations, but his face showed pity.

Then he tapped on two things in front of him, one was a paintbrush and the other was a letter.

"So you have a choice. Alva pointed to the brush and said, "One is to continue to learn painting with me, I will teach you all my painting skills, and then inherit my gallery." ”

"Another, I have a letter of introduction here, you take the letter of introduction, and he will guide you to find someone who can teach you how to develop your spiritual powers. ”

"Adam, I know very well that you are a kind of person, your ambition makes you never stop at the purpose of becoming a well-known painter, take this letter and leave immediately, this is my advice to you as a teacher. ”

Alva pushed the letter forward, as if hoping that Adam would get out of the way with the letter right away.

Seeing that he didn't get any more information from Alva in his inquiry, Adam could only think about Alva's choice.

Inside, he was thinking frantically, and on the surface, Alva hoped that Adam would choose the letter and give up the paintbrush.

But judging by Alva's dislike for him, he doesn't look like someone who would give Adam advice, so it's quite possible that choosing a brush is the right choice.

From the moment he entered this mansion, the house of a thousand paintings, the corridor of paintings, and the unusual servants all directly reflected Alva's simplicity, and from this point of view, it was a tangible benefit to continue to study painting and inherit everything from Alva.

But Alva is talking about inheriting his gallery, and what he promises is his painting skills, which has nothing to do with anything else. Adam looked at Alva, the look on the other party's face, he was familiar with.

The kind of disgust that comes from instinct, but for some reason, I have to face his expression.

The difference is that the man in front of him gave Adam a choice, despite the many traps set inside.

Some of Alva's previous moves were just to put Adam in a mind game, you think I'm on the first layer, you're on the second layer, but I'm actually on the fifth layer or something.

For this kind of mille-feuille routine, Adam's choice is to abandon those temptations that seem good and choose what he needs.

Adam took the letter in his hand.
