Nigel sat next to Annan, lowered his head and whispered.
There were almost no people on the subway from Noah to the Principality of Winter. So they all sat in the front row of the train.
Although the name is a subway, it does run on the subway... but in terms of seating arrangements, it is closer to the train. It is just that there are no seats arranged, so you can just find a place to sit.
The first-class seats on the subway are two rows facing each other, with low sofas that can seat two or three people. There is also a wooden table in the middle, and there is a plate of fruit, a plate of dried fruits, a plate of preserved fruits, and a plate of preserved fruits on each table.
A plate of pastries, this table can even be used to read, write or draw.
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 Anke could theoretically sit next to Lin Yiyi or sit next to Annan - after all, Annan was thin and could squeeze in one more person.
But after Lin Yiyi and Jiu'er had a silent fight with their eyes, and finally reached a compromise (meaning no one could sit in the past), Si An, who was originally sitting next to An Nan, was ruthlessly rushed to the corridor to face her by his sister.
beside the table.
He occupies two sofas and a table by himself, as well as all the snacks on them.
For Si Anke, it was quite refreshing to be able to lie on the sofa, eat melon and listen to stories.
But speaking of it, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Si Anqi always feels that Annan is much cuter than before after turning into white hair... Anyway, Annan will not shy away from male players, and Kaifuni is not wary of them either.
Whenever I have nothing to do, I will come over and take a few puffs of Annan.
As Andersen said - since you can't have sex anyway, and the real gender doesn't matter, it's better to just think of Annan as a beautiful girl in your mind. Anyway, Annan does look very cute, and her voice hasn't started to change yet.
Just like in every silly monk group, there will always be a lucky group member who is selected and sacrificed by the crowd to become a fake beautiful girl.
If you think about it this way, whether you hug Annan or sit with Annan and chat, wouldn't you be taking advantage of the young and lovely white-haired princess?!
——You are truly a talent.
Si An was always in awe of Andersen.
These days, not many people look directly at their own desires...
When I thought about it carefully, I even wanted to call the police.
Annan is only fourteen years old, what are you going to do?
But thinking back, Annan's charm is indeed a little unusual. Before, she was just ordinary pretty, but after Annan turned white, even Si Anke would look at Annan from time to time... Even Annan
His voice seemed to have become better, and even his words had become more convincing.
Is this some kind of charisma-related supernatural ability?
While Si An was thinking deeply.
Nigel, who was sitting with Annan, was still narrating his story in a low voice.
"Really... a very clumsy painter.
"Neither of my parents are painters, and they don't even have anything to do with the art industry... My father is a viscount's financial controller, and my mother is a poor ritualist. They hope that I can become an extraordinary person in the future, and it is best to enter the
Learn transformation spells in the Zedi Black Tower."
Nigel looked at the table and said softly: "Because of their work, they have been exposed to the transformation products and know how much money they can make. They think this is a way that is not busy, safe, will not be easily eliminated, and can make a lot of money."
A profession...and also able to master extraordinary powers.
"So when I determined to become a painter, I encountered unprecedented obstacles. Not only did they not give me a penny since I was fourteen... I was even kicked out of my home, and naturally I had no food.
Fee, you can only go back after admitting your mistake.
"At that time, my father was still a well-known person in our town, so no one was willing to hire me to do hard work. He also said hello to several uncles and uncles he knew, and I couldn't find a job at all...and what about me?
No, it will be difficult to support yourself, and painting also requires money to buy paint and canvas."
The middle-aged painter sighed and took a deep breath: "I was still young at the time, didn't understand anything, and had never suffered much before. After I was hungry, I became angry, thinking that no matter what, I would never
Looking back - even if I starve to death, I will never go back and apologize."
...Thankfully you didn't go, otherwise the whole body would be dead by now.
Annan was silent for a moment.
The wizards in the Black Tower of Zeland are almost extinct - this matter has not been made public yet. This will affect the credibility of Noah's officialdom and will also affect the enrollment of the Black Tower, so it is tacitly concealed by both parties.
"Then what did you do?"
Jiu'er asked curiously: "Did you discover your talent for painting and sell a few previous paintings?"
"It would be nice if this could happen."
Nigel smiled bitterly.
Deep in his blue pupils was the pain that had subsided long ago. The pure bitterness brewed into old wine gave him a strange charm even though his face was covered with stubble and looked extremely decadent.
He said sincerely: "Really, it would be great if I had talent.
"At that time, I put my only chance of survival on Zhiji. I painted like crazy, fourteen hours a day. First I painted vases, fruits, non-stop paintings, and I painted hundreds of them.
, use my greatest enthusiasm and effort to paint...and then sell all the paintings to Zhi Ji in exchange for living expenses, paint and canvas, and rent.
"At the end of the day, I was so tired of painting that I couldn't get much money for the painting. So I looked out the window of my rented room and painted the scenery outside the window.
"Because I have to rent the cheapest house, I often move every few months to avoid getting sick from the cold in winter or getting rashes in summer. After all, I don't have money to hire a priest from Yin Jue to help me.
I treat illnesses, so I must not get sick.
"But thanks to the fact that I can move at any time, the scenery outside the window often changes, so there is no shortage of things to draw. The same scenery is different in spring and autumn... When I returned to the room I rented before
Finally, I can always discover the beauty that I never noticed before.
"At that time, I was able to survive and continue on this road only because of the support of Zhiji. My talent was too low... I painted hard for seven years before I finally sold my first painting.
"I was only twenty-one years old at that time, and I became a famous genius painter... But they didn't know that before I became the 'genius' they called me, I worked on more than two thousand scraps.
"At that time, because of my vanity, I coveted the name of 'genius' that did not belong to me. I always felt that this was an honor and an affirmation of the future I chose... In order to become a genius in the eyes of others, I worked harder
I paint with all my strength. But among the paintings I paint, at most one or two out of a hundred can be seen by me, and can be sold without losing myself.'
A painting in the name of genius."
Nigel replied slowly: "But at that time, I didn't understand anything at all.
"When I first started, I knew little about Paper Princess... I thought that the coins I got were all trading items that Paper Princess used her magical power to conjure up out of thin air. I am very satisfied with the current situation of extremely low quality rate, and there is no I have no desire to change it at all; I even feel proud that I can always exchange my paintings for a higher price to Zhiji - I think that I am a person recognized by Zhiji, and I can persevere and maintain my enthusiasm... ...another kind of genius.
"...until I learned from my mother that the money Zhiji gave to us painters was not something she conjured out of thin air...but that she painted her own paintings and used all the money she earned after selling her paintings. given to us.
"It wasn't until then that I realized how much trouble my inferior talents had caused to Paper Princess."
