"I was a ...... Very clumsy painter. ”

Nigel sat next to Annan and whispered with his head down.

On the subway from Noah to the Duchy of Winter, there were almost no people. So they all sat in the front row of the train.

Even though the name is a subway, it does run on the subway...... But it's closer to the model of a train in terms of seating arrangements. It's just that there is no seat arrangement, and you can just find a place to sit by yourself.

The first-class seats in the subway are the kind of low sofas that can sit two or three people in two rows opposite each other. There is also a wooden table in the middle, and on each table is a plate of fruit, a plate of dried fruits, a plate of preserved fruits, and a plate of pastries, which can even be used to read, write, or draw.

And sitting opposite them were Jiu'er and Lin Yiyi, who were very interested in the story.

As the only male among the three players, Si Dark Carving can theoretically sit next to Lin Yiyi or sit next to Annan - after all, Annan is thin, and it is said that he can squeeze one more person.

But after Lin Yiyi and Jiu'er had a silent battle with their eyes, and finally reached a compromise result (referring to no one sitting down), Si Mingke, who was originally sitting next to Annan, was ruthlessly driven to the table across the corridor by his sister.

Occupy two sofas and a table by yourself, and all the snacks on it.

For the four dark moments, it is also quite cool to be able to lie on the sofa and eat melons and listen to stories.

But speaking of which, I don't know if it's an illusion, but Si Darken always feels that after Annan became white-haired, he was a lot cuter than before...... Anyway, Annan won't shy away from male players, and Kaphni is not wary of them, and Si Dark will come over and suck two puffs of Annan if it's okay.

As Hans Christian Andersen said - since you can't anyway, it doesn't matter if your real gender is real, it's better to simply treat Annan as a beautiful girl in your mind. Anyway, Annan is really cute, and he hasn't started to change his voice yet.

Just like in every group of stupid hanging monks, there will always be a lucky group member who is selected by the masses and sacrificed to become a false beautiful girl.

If you think about it this way, whether you hug Annan or sit with Annan and chat, wouldn't you take advantage of the young and cute white-haired princess?!

- You're really a talent.

Fourth, he was in awe of Hans Christian Andersen.

These days, there are not many people who look directly at their desires so directly......

If you think about it, you even want to call the police.

Annan is only fourteen years old, what are you going to do!

But looking back, Annan's charm is indeed a bit abnormal. Before, he was just an ordinary level of delicateness, but after Annan turned gray, even the four dark carvings would look at Annan from time to time...... Even Annan's voice seemed to have become better, and even his words had become more convincing.

Is this some kind of charisma-related transcendent ability?

While the four were thinking about it.

Nigel, who was sitting with Annan, was still whispering his story.

"Really...... Very clumsy painter.

"Neither of my parents was a painter or even a member of the art industry...... My father was a viscount's treasurer, and my mother was a crappy ceremonist. They want me to become a transcendent in the future, preferably by entering the Zedi Black Tower to learn transformation spells. ”

Nigel looked at the table and whispered, "Because of their work, they have access to the transformation and know how much money they can make." They feel that it is a profession that is not busy, safe, and will not be easily eliminated and can make a lot of money...... And they can also master supernatural powers.

"So when I decided to become a painter, I encountered unprecedented obstacles. Not only since I was fourteen, but he has not given me a penny...... Even kicked me out of the house, naturally there was no food money, and I could only go back after admitting my mistake.

"My father was a celebrity in our town at the time, so no one wanted to hire me for hard labor. He also said hello to several uncles and uncles he knew, and I couldn't find a job at all...... And I don't know anything, it's hard to support myself, and I need money to buy paints and canvases for painting. ”

The middle-aged painter sighed and took a deep breath: "At that time, I was still young, I didn't understand anything, and I hadn't suffered anything before. I was hungry and so angry that I thought I would never turn back no matter what—even if I starved to death, I would never go back and apologize. ”

…… It's a good thing you didn't go, otherwise you would have been dead by now.

Annan was silent for a moment.

The wizards of Zediheta are all but dead - this has not been made public. This will lead to the credibility of Noah's officials, and it will also affect the enrollment of the Black Tower, so it is tacitly concealed by both parties.

"And what did you do then?"

Jiu'er asked curiously: "Did you discover your painting talent and then sell a few of your previous paintings?" ”

"If only it could be like this."

Nigel smiled wryly.

Deep in his azure pupils was a pain that had long since subsided. The thick bitterness of the aged wine makes him look stubble and unusually decadent, but he also has a strange charm.

He said heartily: "Really, if only I had talent."

"At that time, I put my only way of life on the paper hime. I went crazy and painted for fourteen hours a day. First, I painted vases and fruits, and I continued to paint hundreds of them, with my greatest enthusiasm and effort...... Then sell all the paintings to the paper her, in exchange for living expenses, paints and canvases, and rent.

"By the end of the day, I was so disgusting that I couldn't get much money for my paintings. So I looked out of the window of my rented room and went to paint the scenery outside the window.

"Because I have to rent the cheapest house, I often move every few months so that I don't get sick in the winter or rashes in the summer. After all, I don't have the money to hire a priest from Silver Lord to heal me, so I must not get sick.

"But thanks to the fact that I can move at any time, the scenery outside the window changes from time to time, so I don't lack something to paint. The same scenery is different in spring and autumn...... When I return to the room I used to rent, I always find beauty that I didn't notice before.

"At that time, I was able to survive and walk on this road, all thanks to the support of Paper Ji. My talents are too inferior...... It took seven years of desperate painting before I finally actually sold my first painting.

"I was only twenty-one years old at the time, and I became a genius painter known far and wide...... But they won't know that I was the brainchild of more than 2,000 scrapped manuscripts before I became what they call a 'genius'.

"At that time, because of my vanity, I coveted the name of 'genius' that did not belong to me. I always feel that this is an honor and an affirmation of the future I have chosen...... In order to become a genius in the eyes of others, I painted even harder and tried my best to paint. But out of a hundred, there are only one or two paintings that I can see by myself, and I can sell them without losing my name as a 'genius'. ”

Nigel replied slowly, "But at that time, I didn't understand anything at all.

"When I first started, I didn't know much about paper hime...... I thought that the coins I got were all trade objects that Paper Ji conjured out of thin air with his divine powers. I am very satisfied with this very low quality rate, and I have not the slightest desire to change it; I even felt complacent that I was always able to exchange my paintings for a higher price for the paper her—I thought that I was a person who was recognized by the paper her, and that I could continue to be enthusiastic...... Another kind of genius.

“…… It wasn't until I learned from my mother that the money she gave us artists wasn't something she had conjured up out of thin air...... Instead, she painted her own paintings, sold her paintings, and gave us all the money she earned.

"Only then did I know how much trouble my inferior talents had caused to Paper Hime."

He groaned in pain.
