Chapter 339: Liyanan's Blessing
"What's wrong with you?"
Joan didn't understand Liyanan's meaning.
"For example, from my young friends, take the vitality, and use those who died young as sacrifices, so that I can live longer and remain young forever."
Liyanan lowered her head and sighed.
"You...are you really joking?"
Joan neither wanted nor could bear to believe her confession that seemed to be remorseful.
"I'm serious. In fact, I'm sorry, but I never regret what I did, because I have never cheated anyone. Before giving blessings, I first stated the price that the other party needs to pay."
Li Yanan raised her head, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and was in a daze for a long time before continuing.
"If you think about it, you also know that most of us goblins love art. Art in our eyes includes works of unique creativity such as literature, music, painting and sculpture, as well as the skills of using magic. As a goblin nobleman, I was born It has the magic power to enhance the talents of artists, and the education I received from an early age has formed a kind of self-respecting concept——as a protector of art and artists.”
"To this day, I have lived for more than three centuries. During this long life, I have been practicing my mission. Except for occasionally living alone in the jungle, most of the time I travel around."
"I have traveled almost all over the world of Vales, and I have been to countless cities and villages. Everywhere I go, I always look for well-known local artists and appreciate their masterpieces. I signed a contract to use my talent to enhance the other party's artistic talent, so that it can create more beautiful poems, more beautiful music, more moving pictures, and even gain more powerful spellcasting ability."
"Then what's the price?"
Joan couldn't help asking.
"Yeah, everything has a price."
Li Yanan sighed softly.
"If the other party accepts my blessing, they must agree to me taking part of their vitality at any time... When they are still at the peak of artistic creation, even if I am thousands of miles away from them, I can still feel their shining soul and spirit through that contract." Passionate creativity, at this time, I just want to admire their endless masterpieces, and I can't bear to take away their vitality."
"However, with the passage of time, when those talented artists gained fame and wealth, lost themselves in the admiration and praise of the world, and forgot the original intention of devoting themselves to artistic creation, their inspiration dried up over time and became mediocre. The works that are barely produced are also lacking in sincerity, just repeating themselves...they themselves and the followers around them may not be aware of these sad changes, but they can't hide it from me."
"I have enough sensibility to tell whether a person is really creating or deluding themselves, and I have no compassion for those who have squandered their talents."
"If I understand correctly, you will always execute the original contract when an artist friend can't create a better work, and take his life?" Joan asked tentatively.
Liyanan nodded, and said lightly: "It may be cruel to do this, but instead of watching a once talented person gradually become depraved and vulgar, and eventually destroying his own reputation with his own hands, it is better for them to do so at the beginning. Take back my blessing when things go downhill, and save them from wasting half their lives."
"In this way, people will not find that this great artist has exhausted his ideas, but will only feel that they died young before they had time to create more and better works, and only their most brilliant works are left behind. A masterpiece with a good beginning and a good end."
After hearing her words, Qiao An felt shuddering at first, and then couldn't help agreeing.
There are many examples of short-lived geniuses in the world. While lamenting the premature death of geniuses, people do not realize that those talented artists who are fleeting like meteors will probably go downhill if they live long enough.
Liyanan's blessing can enable an artist to burst out all his creative talents in the best years of his life, and engrave his best side in the hearts of the world.
If a person is willing to accept this dangerous blessing, it shows that he loves art more than his own life, and the ending of a genius who dies early is not a wish for him.
From this point of view, Liyanan's blessing is nothing more than an equivalent exchange, perhaps a bit cruel, but it is not evil, let alone a curse.
"I have already explained everything that needs to be said to you. Please allow me to make that request that you rejected again...Joan, my young mage friend, are you willing to accept my blessing?"
Joan thought for a few seconds, looked up to meet Liyanan's gaze, and replied calmly: "Ms. Liyanan, I am willing to accept your blessing."
"You'd better think about it carefully, especially the unfortunate consequences that may be brought to you after signing the contract." Liyanan urged with a complicated mood.
"I've thought it through, it's nothing to worry about." Joan's expression was calm and firm, "If one day in the future, I really lose the motivation to continue studying magic and stop on the road of seeking knowledge, even if you can't bear to take it My life, I don't want to live anymore."
"Young people always overestimate their love for a certain cause. However, in the face of the test of time, the flame of passion will eventually be extinguished. No matter how deeply you love at the beginning, you will be so tired in the end."
"You mentioned 'passion', and that seems to be the quality I'm lacking." Joanne sighed, "In my opinion, passion and love are extremely unreliable things that can really make people stay committed The motivation to persevere in a certain creation is not necessarily the ambition to become famous and start a family, or the ambition to change the world, it is more likely to come from the habit of hard work, and fortunately I have cultivated this habit.”
"'Habit of hard work'? Then let me witness how long you can keep this habit."
Liyanan took a step closer to Joan, and raised her right hand to press his forehead.
A warm energy was injected into Joan's body from her palm, like a stone thrown into a calm water, causing the magic net threads that were evenly and randomly distributed in his body to violently turbulent, and finally condensed into six special configurations.
Joan knew that Liyanan was blessing herself with magic power.
This wonderful feeling reminded him of the magic tools he had refined.
What Liyanan is doing at this moment is like treating Joan Vida as the material of a magic tool, using his own innate magic power to enchant him, and finally refining him into a living human-shaped magic tool!
