Hey, do you have a party?”
Zephyr was constantly asked this by women.
He was in a square where a lot of lonely women sat and gathered together.
Zephyr told them sadly.
“I… have a party.”
“If you have time later. My name is Elaine…”
“I am sorry. I have someone waiting for me.”
Still, Zephyr was having a good time at the festival of Morata. The streets were full, it was bustling due to the festival! But Yurin, who he liked, was not there with him.
She had cold-heartedly refused to visit and was traveling around the world using Picture Teleportation.
At the cost of his pride, Zephyr pulled up the whisper window and contacted her first.
- When will you be back?
- There’s still a lot of sightseeing to do.
- Do you have time tomorrow?
- I’m hanging out with two of my friends tomorrow.
- How about the day after?
- Sorry, I will be busy drawing.
- Will I be able to see you this week?
- I can’t promise you as I’m busy...when I have the time I’ll tell you.
After that he didn’t hear anything from her.
Obviously, Yurin used her Picture Teleportation to travel the Northern towns, but also after that she went to Rosenheim Kingdom, Brent Kingdom, Central Continent's biggest cities and towns, and drew in Tiananmen Square’s making friends doing easy requests. If Zephyr saw the requests he would have scoffed at it.
The quests involved getting Kobold’s toy figures or getting poisonous serpent teeth.
But with a level difference of 20, she gave the requests to other people.
Even if he was to do something great, they couldn’t share with each other what mattered the most.
“Ahhh, without Yurin here the festival feels boring.”
Zephyr watched as the crowd dissolved into the festival.
Having given his heart away to Yurin, his feelings had grown so large that he easily became embarrassed and it made him tremble.
==============================
“Huck huck(sobbing), will she not be coming back?”
There was one more person who fell head over heels over her.
The artist who hung many paintings, Petrov!
Reflection of an elf in the creek(stream or river).
Evil spirits scouring the land.
The view of the stars in the night.
A Young crazy orc.
Petrov expressed these magnificent and mysterious landscapes by using warm colors.
They were all either Masterpieces or Magnum Opus works!
He made his paintings with colorful expression which clearly showed an unique story that would make other painters jealous.
When Petrov showed his drawings to Yurin.
“How did you draw the elf in the stream?”
“When I was invited to go to the elf village, there was an elf girl who asked me to draw a picture of her.”
Yurin admired the painting of the elves that were running around freely between the trees.
Petrov was very familiar with the Elf and Fairy tribes. When he visited villages, he painted and gave some away, and the others he kept for himself as his own collection.
“The night view with the stars is very pretty. I have never thought to draw something like this before.
“As a child while I looked at the stars, I dreamt about moving them into the canvas. It would be very hard to just think about moving it, but when I painted it I had a really fun time.”
There are a total of 10 paintings in the Stellar Night Views series, they were pieces of art that express the exotic night.
The stars high up in the sky even had expressions. As the stars grouped together into constellation they even expressed themselves as monsters.
There were many different star images like the boy who looks at the stars, the women, the priest, and the magician.
An young boy looking up while working at the rice field, a young boy who climbed a tree on a hill that look down towards the ground and a young man who was fixing something in the stable looked up towards the sky for a brief moment. The girl who woke up early at dawn to make rice for her family looked out the window, and the swordsman who was training in the castle was tired and laid on the ground looking up towards the sky.
When expressing a thief, he was sitting on a person’s home wall and looking up towards the sky!
Petrov’s small work of art were not negligent, it had composition, volume, and it also stood out.
Until this point Yurin’s atmosphere was bright and cheerful.
“I have drawn a lot so please take your time looking at them.”
“Do you have more?”
“That’s correct. I haven’t even showed you one third of my work.”
Petrov couldn’t stop himself from talking every time Yurin admired his work.
Everytime he heard her voice praising him, he felt like he was flying away into the clouds!
He even talked about the art that has not even been released, but he did not think it was a waste.
-Art stat has increased by 21 for appreciating a Magnum Opus painting.
-Your art skill and proficiency has risen.
-Wisdom and Knowledge status has risen by 2.
Whenever Yurin listened to him talking about different things a lot of her art stats increased.
For Petrov it wasn’t just the drawings he drew, he also obtained them through requests and had a large amount of art collected, his illustration skill level was to the point of being over two level higher.
“This picture has quite a good feeling to it. Did you make it with purchased paint, or did you make it yourself?”
“I have things that I made, and I also have things that I have purchased at the art store. I have also made homemade paint that are still kept fresh, and the color is still maintained for a longer period of time. But because you need to do it a lot I don’t recommend it for you miss.”
As Yurin looked at the pictures, she started to want to go to the land of high Seas.
“You have quite a skill in art, it’s pretty good.”
“These are my drawings. There are a lot of things that I drew like the elves, spirits, and the people and You are the first one to see them.”
“How were you able to get to their place?”
“There are pictures drawn about spirits. I used picture teleportation to travel there. At first, they avoided me because I was human, but now whenever they see me, they ask to be drawn.”
Using the picture teleportation by traveling through dimension, he was able to do quests and act as intermediaries.
He tried to keep as much secrets as possible, but Petrov told Yurin without any restriction.
“I thought only sculptures were able to get it so I didn’t know that painting could also get Magnum Opus. This is my first time ever knowing about this.”
“In art, painters and sculptors are often compared to each other. Even though there are a special connection to one another when sculpting, but in drawing you can capture everything. In this piece it includes a majestic sunrise, an aesthetic of odd colors, and you will be able to draw nature pictures of magnificent beauty. Nothing is impossible in art.“
Yurin was curious and asked him a question.
“You have done many great works but Petrov, I have not ever heard your name at the painter guild.”
In Weed’s case it wasn’t just in the Sculptor guild, but if you were a player in Royal Road you knew about them.
But no one had heard of Petrov’s name before.
Even if he did not do many quests, if one had excellent command over painting normally majority of their work will become famous.
“When I was offered quests, I did not like the rowdiness so I did not give my name. When I finished the quest as an anonymous my picture’s fame will become relatively low, if I normally gave my name Petrov, it would be known throughout the Versailles Continent.”
