[Chapter 14 The Imprisoned Light]

“Another world?”

Annan suddenly became a little interested: “Tell me about it in detail?”

Nigel took a sip of tea instead of wine.

Then he sighed and told Annan about the trip from the beginning:

“In the beginning, I received a letter from a friend a long time ago. He helped me a lot when I first returned to the painting world. Busy…he’s a wizard and a well-known artist in the industry, a student of the legendary ‘Eye of Time Lapse’.

“When I first came back to painting, I was very under-known.

I had a fair amount of confidence in my painting at the time – it was, after all, a painting that Javon would rate as ‘okay’.

“But that’s the level of ‘okay’, not ‘very good’ or ‘not bad’. My skin is not thick enough, and if Yaon says a little bit, I can go out and promote in Yaon’s name. Degree.

“If it wasn’t famous, it wouldn’t sell for the price it matched.

Those who can buy paintings will only be aristocrats in the countryside who know a little about art.

I have to sell some paintings and save enough money to open a gallery.

“Only then can the reputation really get out—I’m ready for the first two years of my return to the art world. Until I save enough money to open a gallery and invite industry critics to come… Or at the gathering of the nobles, people who know the goods can see these paintings drawn by me.”

I all pointed to this famous.

Painter Nigel said so.

In these plain and humble words, there is actually an absolute confidence in himself hidden.

Although it is said that “I dare not use the name of Yaon to promote it”, but Nigel himself knows the actual level of this painting.

He believes that as long as people who really understand art and see this painting in other noble houses, they will be able to realize what level of painter they are.

As long as there is a noble willing to sponsor him.

With his strength, he can soar into the sky with ease.

“But at this moment, I met him… a traveling wizard from Howling White Tower. He was full of praise for my painting, and offered to raise the price to three times what I asked for, and bought the painting back. ”

Within two months, some nobles from the capital came to my hometown from all over the world, wanting to buy my paintings with a lot of money.

Only then did I know what he had done for me.

”

What’s your friend… What’s the name?”

asked Annan.

”

Rafaelo Santi .”

This is his name.

Nigel replied quickly: ”

He’s probably a dozen years older than me.”

But unlike me, he was born into an artistic family since childhood.

His parents are believers of Shifu and Zhiji respectively… His father is a well-known architect in the United Kingdom, and his mother is Noah’s painter – his mother is one of the paintings I imitated when I taught myself painting skills when I was a teenager. s work.

“But when he was very young, he was sent to Winter to learn witchcraft. Because his father told him, ‘The technique of carving has its limits – human energy and physical strength, and the texture of the stone will affect it. The final product. A truly perfect sculpture can only be made by mastering the spells of the Idol and the Sculpture School.’

“So he went to the White Tower of Howling to concentrate on his spells.

And when he was in his thirties, he became a great wizard of the silver rank, successfully graduated…and began to concentrate on art.

”

Nigel sighed seriously: “I really envy him and appreciate him.

For me, he was one of the few friends I really wanted to be with.

So even after I became famous, far more famous than Rafaello, I wrote to him a lot.

“Although my mother is a ritualist, I don’t know any rituals. My painting experience keeps reminding me that I don’t have the talent to make a name in different fields as calmly as those geniuses.

“I just work hard.

The art of this era is constantly evolving, and I don’t even have to step back… just stop, and soon I will be left behind.

“Because this is the experience that I have finally realized after 20 years of seclusion and devotion to a craft. If it is for those who are talented, it may only take 15 years, or even 10 years – if they still have enough The money, the time left to work, may surpass me in five or six years.

“I don’t have the energy to delve into other things.

And with my talent, it’s not enough to master the skills of a ritualist with a short period of study…”

If you don’t have enough skills, then you’re just humiliating yourself.

Nigel’s self-esteem as an outstanding painter, With a calm and rational judgment of himself, he did not intend to contact the profession of ritualist at all.

It is precisely because he clearly knows that ritualists are more eager for talent and accumulation than painters, so he will not expand to such a degree. ”

So, we have always used letters to communicate.

I don’t know where he traveled again, so I can only send the letter to a contact point in Winter… that’s where he often goes back, and can also be regarded as his home.

“We get one or two letters from each other almost every year, but it’s much more troublesome to see each other. That’s why he wrote me a letter… I hope I can go to the winter and help him draw Some ‘things that can’t be properly depicted at his level’.

“He promised me high enough pay, including a winter villa.

That’s why I chose to sell all of my property in Noah at this time to pay off the debt I owed Zhi Ji.

”

Of course, his accumulation over the years has long been much more than his debt. It was dozens, even hundreds of times.

But what Nigel paid back was not with those bad paintings that couldn’t be sold. A little living expenses in exchange for sacrificing to Zhi Ji… It is the money used to maintain his “dream”.

It is because he owes a lot to Zhi Ji, so when he is criticized by Yaon, he will cry and grit his teeth. Perseverance.

That is the initial light that he can walk on this road without giving up.

“I arrived at the agreed cold wind fortress, and met Count Felix under the recommendation of Rafaello. He gave me a commission… that is to enter the bottom of the ‘Furnace Mountain’ from the secret passage and describe the ‘world’ the shape of the wound’.

” – I thought at one point that he was trying to murder me.

”

Nigel said with lingering fears.

Anyone who travels thousands of miles to a foreign country and is told with a smile on the other side that he is going to be sent to the bottom of an active volcano… will have questions like “Am I being fooled” and “Am I going to die?” “The feeling of”.

“And when I went down the deep well and descended to the bottom of the ‘Stove Mountain’… I found a magnificent sight that I had never seen before.

Nigel murmured in a dreamy tone, “That’s really the [wound of the world].

“I really see the end of the world – where all color disappears and all matter does not exist. At a glance, it’s easy to see ‘outside the world’.

“It’s all matter, nothing A realm of chaos with fixed form constraints.

Only with the intuition of ‘beauty’ can we barely discern their essence.

“It was… a living flame, and a light imprisoned. I lost my mind, and when I woke up, the painting was finished.

“It was the painting I was most proud of and could never replicate.

I felt like my heart and my skills and everything else was lost on that painting…I will never be able to paint that painting again in my life.

“As long as you lift the canvas that is blocking it, other papers and fibers in the room will burn by themselves. All the mirrors will shine with their violent light at the same time, as if the light trapped in the depths of the mirror is about to escape.”

Nigel Er glanced at Annan, and said incomprehensible words with certainty: “That’s the ‘light’ that is very similar to the light on your body…”
