Alice Thrandis took the stub of 5,000 crowns and looked over it over and over, her usually free and unruly face full of surprise.
This is really too much money.
Although her father spent a lot of money to send her to La Faurea Academy to learn magic, when she was a girl, the maximum amount of money that Thrandis actually made the decision was 100 crowns, and only once.
On the other hand, after arriving at Silver Moon Castle and accepting an apprentice, my wallet bulged, but it was only about 1,000 crowns.
"Father, this matter is far beyond my daughter's expectations. She can't handle it anymore. I'd better let Anna talk to you."
After finishing speaking, Thrandis' face showed a daze for a while. Ten seconds later, the daze subsided and turned into Anna's dignified, reserved and indifferent look.
Of course, the apathy only lasted for a while and then subsided.
Looking at the large bank stub in his hand, Thrandis sighed softly.
"Rosen, you have truly entered the upper class of Silver Moon Castle now, and you are still at the upper level of the upper class."
"I don't have to worry about livelihood at all. I have enough dignity, a hereditary title and land, and I am also valued and cultivated by important people."
"If you can grow into a high-level mage in the future, you will naturally stand at the top of Silver Moon Castle and become the top few, the big boss who controls the fate of mortals in Huangshui Highlands."
Similar to this existence, the earl counts as one, Faerun counts as one, Bilugu counts as one, the priest of Faao counts as one, Fuller counts as half, and other high-level mages can only count as half.
In short, there can be no more than fifty such great men.
Regardless of his skills or social status, Rosen's progress was too fast, far beyond Thrandis' expectations.
Somehow, a feeling of uneasiness arose in my heart, a feeling that I couldn't control myself, and I didn't know what attitude I should take towards my only apprentice.
After all, this was her first time as a spell instructor, and this was a situation she had never expected.
So, she took the initiative to ask Rosen: "Have you thought about how to spend this money?"
Rosen naturally thought about it.
"Spend 700 crowns to buy a mid-range carriage. It shouldn't be too luxurious, just usable, so as not to overshadow other high-ranking mages and arouse jealousy."
"I don't need to buy a magic staff. The Silver Moon Focusing Sword is decent enough."
"As for the blue and gold paper spell book, I don't really need it. I just bought an ordinary size one just for show. It only costs 60 crowns."
"The remaining money will be saved for living expenses."
Thrandis was startled: "Haven't you always wanted to build a meditation chamber? 5,000 crowns is enough to build an ordinary solar resonance chamber."
Rosen shook his head: "If you want to get it, get the best one, so as not to waste money."
An ordinary solar resonance chamber costs 2,000 crowns, but can only increase the effect by 10%.
The use of better quality contemplative elixirs and nourishing elixirs, coupled with Bilgu's stargazing records, is enough to make up for this gap.
Of course, as a result, the monthly fixed expenses will increase a lot, and it is estimated to reach 900 kronor.
Therefore, even with Bilgu's strong support, he still has to work hard to make money.
Now that Rosen had an idea, Thrandis said no more.
Rosen put the stargazing record on the table again and turned to Chapter 5, "The Eternal Bond between the Earth and the Silver Moon."
"Teacher, here is a description of the celestial phenomenon of the Silver Moon, which will definitely be helpful for your visualization."
Thrandis was indeed very interested, but she was more interested in Rosen's knowledge of persuading Bilgu to take the money.
"I really want to know what my apprentice did to make Master Bilugu value him so much?"
Naturally, Rosen would not hide it. It was now past four in the afternoon, so he simply demonstrated Sunshine Rainbow directly.
After Thrandis read it carefully, he fell into deep thought.
After a long time, she suddenly said: "I used to be very interested in light. I also thought carefully about the rainbow after the rain, and I also came up with some simple results."
With that said, she took out her spell book from the bedroom, turned to one of the pages and pointed it out to Rosen.
"I discovered that there may be only four colors in the world, namely red, blue, green, and cyan. And other colors can be made by superimposing these four colors. For example, the superposition of blue and green makes yellow."
Rosen was shocked: 'The instructor is amazing!'
There are three primary colors on the earth, namely red, blue, and green. The reason is that the eyes of most people on earth are only sensitive to these three kinds of light, but in this other world, they are sensitive to four kinds of light.
So there are the four primary colors.
Rosen was also aware of this, because he often found that the colors in his field of vision were richer than those on the earth. However, since he had been like this since he was a child, he had long been accustomed to it, so he did not study it much.
"Through the research on the four primary colors, I created a very strange little spell, no, it should be called a trick. I call it Anna's palette."
She pointed out the relevant tricks to Rosen.
Rosen watched carefully.
As I watched, my heart suddenly moved, and an inspiration came out.
"Using this trick, I can create an extraordinary mirroring technique that can accurately adjust colors and even adjust colors in post-production!"
What is the use of color adjustment?
That's so useful!
Color can greatly affect how ordinary people perceive an event.
There are two women who look exactly the same, one has yellow skin and the other has snow-white skin. Men know how to choose!
When it comes to the field of painting masters, they have to pay even more attention to color.
You can even create impressive colors that don’t exist in reality through color mixing as your own exclusive label!
After silently memorizing this trick, Rosen sincerely praised it.
"Teacher, your spell is very interesting. However, let's continue studying fusion spells?"
The so-called fusion spell refers to the fusion of 'Preparatory Casting' and 'Constant Focus Ring', which is the main work of the master and apprentice in recent times.
Much progress has been made so far, but there is still some way to go before completion.
Thrandis naturally had no objection.
While focusing on the spell, Rosen suddenly said: "Teacher, I'm going to visit the territory in a few days."
"Oh~ Haven't you already sent a butler to take care of it? Why are you suddenly interested in the territory?"
"After all, it is a hereditary territory, so I still need to take a look at it, so that the people can get to know me as a lord, and also let me understand the living conditions of the people."
Thrandis could no longer control his apprentice. Seeing that what he said made sense, he nodded: "Then go."
There was no distraction after that.
It was late at night in the blink of an eye.
Lying on the soft and warm big bed in the second bedroom, Rosen's thoughts were immersed in the virtual machine and he began to study the mirroring technique in detail.
The most important thing about mirroring is imagination, but imagining it out of thin air will inevitably lead to serious distortion.
Rosen's solution is to think directly about the real thing.
He had a thought in his mind.
"The default scene is the second floor of the Green Eagle Hotel in White Horse Town, the moment when you first enter Lilith's room."
With a flash of light before his eyes, Rosen returned to the hotel and lay face to face with the girl Lilith on the big round bed.
Among the women Rosen had met, although Lilith could only be considered above average, she was the one he was most familiar with besides Thrandis.
And she has no emotions, so she can use her body to do various virtual experiments.
When the experiment was about to begin, Rosen's heart suddenly moved again.
"No, why should I restrict the scene to the current world? I can go back to the past life memory and conduct experiments. There is a lot of material there!"
I have read so many notebooks in my previous life, and the ones I saved were worth five tons. The ones that I didn’t save were lost in the sea.
You can directly use it as a preset scene for in-depth research!
As soon as he thought of it, Rosen jumped back into his past life memory and started experimenting with spells.
The virtual machine has infinite fault tolerance, so Rosen practiced his magic with confidence and boldness.
In just one hour, he mastered the mirroring technique.
"This mirroring technique is still not good enough, and its precision and flexibility are still lacking."
"The tutor's palette has not been integrated either. It's fine for deceiving people in dark places, but it's far from good enough for selling paintings for money."
"Got to improve!"
Now Rosen's knowledge of spells is much richer, which is enough to support him in improving the mirror technique.
So focus on improvement.
Keep changing and changing until you are satisfied.
"It's almost done, let's get started."
Enter the preset scene again to experiment.
After a lot of fussing, Rosen felt very satisfied.
"It's so fine that it's hard to tell whether it's real or fake. I can modify the clothes, face, and body details individually according to my imagination. I can also use a palette to match the gorgeous colors in the later stage."
"It's simply a perfect version of Spell Pisi!"
But, there is one last question.
"The number of actors in this book is limited, and the quality is even more limited. If there are too many actors, it's easy to get into trouble."
"what to do?"
After thinking carefully, Rosen quickly came up with a perfect solution.
"I lived for almost fifty years in my previous life, and I have seen more faces than I can count on TV, in videos, and on the side of the road."
"If I use these faces as a basic template, and then add a body to it, and graft them on, wouldn't I be able to create a person out of thin air?"
In this way, his inspiration is truly inexhaustible. Coupled with the flexible fine-tuning of the extraordinary mirror technique, he has completely overcome the big problem of running out of materials.
Rosen felt that with a frequency of one painting every five days, he could still draw fresh faces even if he painted for 200 years.
In short, the skill of drawing has been completely established!
I looked at the time and saw that it was already four in the morning.
With my mind relaxed, sleepiness suddenly surged up, and I fell asleep within half a minute.
A night of silence.
When Rosen got up at nine o'clock the next morning, he felt that his whole body was full of endless energy.
Then I thought of O'Lekeya again, and then I thought of the night by the lake, and I couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Using various methods to assist me, my mana has increased a lot faster. At this rate, in another two or three months, I will probably be able to reach the lowest level."
"But there is an intermediate level behind the low level. The intermediate level takes at least two years to reach the extreme. Then, between the intermediate level and the high level, there are still annoying high-level obstacles."
"I heard that the high-level confusion is very mysterious. Some people break through to the intermediate level in a few years, but they are stuck at the intermediate level for a lifetime."
"The mentor seems to be stuck at the intermediate extreme. Her mana has not increased for two months."
This was not something Rosen guessed, but something he felt when the mana was entangled during intimacy.
"After the advanced level, there is the master barrier, and after the master level, there is the legendary extraordinary barrier that can never be broken through."
"The road is long and difficult, so let's pursue it for a long time."
Get up, have breakfast, draw the picture according to the screenshot that was repaired last night, and then ask the servant to contact Harik to pick it up.
In order to avoid any disputes and avoid too serious impact on Mr. Laster's mind, I only drew a 90% similarity with Mrs. Laster.
If Mr. Last can bear it well enough and is not satisfied with this painting, he can get him another one with a more violent style for free.
About an hour later, Harrick arrived.
"Where's the painting?"
"Here."
Rosen pointed out the oil painting placed in the corner to him.
"The painting is called "The Lady and the Coachman". You should have met Mrs. Laster herself. Please help me see if the painting can be done first."
Harrick went to see the painting.
After one glance, his face turned red and his breathing became a little thicker. It took him a while to calm down.
He bowed slightly in embarrassment, his face becoming very complicated.
"The details are so real and rich. If I hadn't seen the appearance of the Laster's coachman with my own eyes, I would have thought that Mrs. Laster was really having an affair."
After speaking, he wiped his face vigorously and tried to calm himself down, but his efforts had little effect.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Rosen, I understand those gentlemen a little bit. It's really exciting to see a dignified lady who is beyond your reach cheat on you!"
Seeing him like this, Rosen was a little worried: "Uncle, will this cause trouble?"
Harrick thought for a moment and shook his head: "The woman in the painting looks very much like Mrs. Last, but there are still many differences. Mrs. Last's figure is not so good, her skin is not so fair and flawless, and her face is not like this either.
Charming style."
As he was talking, he noticed that Rosen was looking at him with a strange look.
He was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands to explain.
"No, no, no, of course I have never seen Mrs. Laster's body!"
"I'm just saying that the world in your painting has a kind of perfection that can't be found in the real world. It's fascinating, but you can tell it's fake at a glance."
"Hmm~ It's obvious at first glance that it's fake. Is this okay?"
"It should work. After all, Mr. Rust doesn't really want to bear the pain of betrayal. Anyway, I'll show it to him first. I'll come over and give you feedback in the afternoon."
He took the painting and left.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Harrick came on time and brought good news.
"Mr. Rust is very satisfied. He also said that he is very willing to recommend your craftsmanship to his friends."
At the same time, he took out a confession coupon and a 280-kronor purse from his pocket.
"This is?"
"Mr. Last said that this kind of pain feels very novel and worth recalling. So he wants to book your next work in advance, with the same theme as this one."
"In addition, he hopes that the style of the next work will be more wild. To be precise, let him go and do it, as wild as he can."
Rosen was really speechless, but for Jin Kelang's sake, he still agreed.
"Uncle, you can pick up the painting in five days."
