Chapter 430 "Stay with Me"

Neither Aiwas nor Isabel stopped Janice from leaving.

This was a long-foreseen farewell, and it was also a destined separation. If he forced her to stay at this time, it would be impolite and not good-looking.

And Aiwas knew another secret reason. Only if Janice left at this time could she have a chance to change her future tragedy.

Janice is a standard painter, and her main mana is water attribute.

Based on her understanding of the balanced path, in addition to the mana of water attribute, Janice also has the mana of wind, earth, and fire attributes, and the ratio is exactly 8:5:5:5.

Because of this wonderful ratio, Janice was complained by players at the time as a "golden ratio Shaomai man"... so Aiwas remembered it very clearly.

This is also similar to Janice's personality.

Her usual personality is very similar to that of ordinary people, and she is quite cheerful. You can't see the paranoia after the path goes deep into the fifth energy level. But her deep personality is a handful of invisible water.

Sometimes gentle like a trickle, sometimes violent like a tsunami.

Sometimes it is ice, sometimes it is fog, sometimes it is snow, and sometimes it is a spring.

But only the unpredictable and ever-changing water is the balanced water.

If it stays for a long time and gradually becomes still, it will become ice because of the concept of "eternity".

At that time, it will deviate to the path of dusk.

Although strictly speaking, the path of dusk is not a wrong path... but at this point, Janice can no longer turn back.

The principle of the path of beauty is flow and eternity. Although there are many professions in the path of beauty, they are generally divided into two schools:

One is inclined to the path of balance, emphasizing "mirror beauty", maintaining the rationality and conservatism of the artist, and controlling one's sensibility with balanced rationality and rules, which is flow; the other is inclined to the path of dusk, emphasizing "extreme beauty", trying to pursue the ultimate beauty that is eternal and instantaneous, which is eternity.

Balance and dusk have similarities. One of the holy numbers is 5, which is the middle of the nine numbers both from the front and back, and its guardian gem is topaz; the other holy number is 9, which is the extreme of holy numbers, and its guardian gem is amber.

Just as the auras of the paths of beauty and adaptation are close to green, the colors of balance and dusk are also close to yellow.

After all, the pillars of the path of beauty are twin mirrors... and a mirror cannot reflect images out of thin air. Just like beauty must be sought from the outside world.

For this reason, after the extraordinary people of the path of beauty reach the limit of the pure art field, they will inevitably embark on the second path. Although there are also people who pursue other paths, it has nothing to do with the path of beauty itself.

As an extraordinary person who graduated from a professional school, Janice naturally chose the path of balance.

The so-called "magic painting", this dynamic painting with special power, is a miracle produced by the technique of the path of balance. Its essence can also be regarded as an alchemical creation, so it is natural that it has power and can be mass-produced.

But when Janice reached a certain realm, she began to question the path she had chosen at first.

This is also normal... Every artist finds it difficult to resist the call of "dusk" after reaching a certain realm. The call received by painters and sculptors is the strongest.

But Janice herself does not have the power of the Dusk Path.

So she pursued the fragments of the Heavenly Master of the Dusk Path, trying to make them into pigments and use their power to complete a pinnacle static painting.

If she was wrong, there would be only two results: either she wasted the fragments of the Heavenly Master and only made a magic painting; or she died because she could not bear the conflict of the path.

But the most terrible thing is that Janice did prove that she really chose the wrong path back then - she did have the talent of the Dusk Path, and it was far greater than the Balance Path. But she could no longer regret it.

All she could do was to exhaust her strength, consume all her previous life, and paint her last work with all her obsession.

In the static painting of "Skull in Amber" drawn by her in the future, the skull emitting dim yellow light is Janice's own skull.

This is why the extraordinary people of the Path of Beauty will not start to choose their second path until they reach a certain level. At least for the extraordinary people of the Path of Beauty, balance and dusk are two completely contradictory paths. Choosing one means denying the other.

The concept of "real is real, fake is fake" that she taught Isabel is the concept of the Path of Balance; while the concept of the Path of Twilight is "fake can also become real, real can also become fake".

So Janice, who deviated to the Path of Twilight, lost control and turned into a phantom demon, can easily switch back and forth between reality and illusion.

That is exactly what "beauty" blessed by the Path of Twilight can do. And at that time, her mana pool became a pure and single water attribute.

——Now it seems that the death of Queen Sophia is probably a very important node.

As an immortal species, she has established friendships with too many humans. After repeatedly experiencing the bond and separation, her spirit gradually leaned towards the path of dusk.

She wanted to solidify the past, did not want to admit Sophia's death, wanted to paint for a long time on the Glass Island, and painted slower and slower... This was because her spirit was leaning towards dusk.

In the original timeline, Master Janice probably started to lean from this time.

It was useless to stop Janice from getting the fragment of Lingbo Tianshi - her heart was twisted at that time, and she could stop it for a while, but not for a lifetime.

The root cause was that Sophia in that world line did not have a good end.

She did not die of old age, but of betrayal - and then there was an extremely ugly drama of seizing power.

Janice had no chance to say goodbye to Sophia, and she was in no mood to paint this first and last painting.

She could only carry her drawing board and leave Avalon disappointed. And she did not forget this emotion, but it was always accumulated in her heart, and eventually became a demon that swallowed up Janice's humanity.

- However, Aiwas changed this future.

She finally finished the painting quietly, and did not take the painting away, but left it to Aiwas and others.

This is abandonment.

She finally let go of her obsession, spit out the depression in her chest, and frankly admitted the death of her friend.

Therefore, the calm and nearly icy water will flow again, turn into an elusive mist, and drift to the unknown distance with the wind.

Janice's departure at this time is the beginning of her redemption.

Her fate has changed.

The sentence "Life is short, cherish it well" is also her regret and sigh for her best friend Sophia's life.

In this life, getting along with Master Janice made Aiwas like this gentle and free-spirited elder. Aiwas is still very happy to have the opportunity to change her fate and save her future.

The only regret is... Being interrupted by Janice, Aiwas and Isabel can only return to the Silver and Tin Palace in a hurry.

Originally, the two planned to go shopping for an afternoon on the last day of 1898 during Queen Isabel's rare holiday, but now they have to end it early.

——If such an important thing is accidentally dirty or broken outside, it will be heartbreaking.

This painting is undoubtedly the masterpiece of Master Janice. It is also a precious gift that contains her strong emotions and memories. It is also a proof of commemorating Aiwas's change of Janice's fate.

Isabel can feel the "resonance of beauty" and thus enhance the strength of the power of the path just by taking a casual look.

She even felt that she had vaguely touched the threshold of the fourth energy level.

This is the main way for the extraordinary people of the path of beauty to be promoted.

Just as the pastor, in addition to daily prayers, healing others is also an important way to improve the energy level of the path; and in addition to daily basic practice, the most important means of improvement for the path of beauty is "aesthetics".

Whether it is listening to music and watching plays, or appreciating paintings and sculptures, as long as you can resonate with them, feel and be touched, and immediately improve your level in the corresponding field, it represents the improvement of the power of the path.

It is precisely because of the long-term accumulation of foundation that Isabel can advance synchronously with Sherlock's wisdom path after embarking on the extraordinary path, and even now can surpass it.

Sherlock is still far from the fourth level, but Isabel has already touched the edge.

It is precisely the aesthetic experience accumulated over the years that has enabled her to develop.

Of course, if the level and talent are too poor, it is difficult to realize the beauty of a painting or an opera.

If it were not Isabel, but other students in the school, I am afraid that they would not be able to get any benefit from this painting...

This painting can inspire painters who have been stuck in the third or even fourth level for a long time, and they are likely to gain insights.

It can be said to be a national treasure-with this painting, Avalon has the inheritance of the fifth level of the path of beauty.

This is undoubtedly a great gift.

...But if only Aiwass was allowed to send it back, he would be worried about Isabel's safety.

They went out shopping this time to hide their identities and relax, and naturally did not bring followers, servants and guards.

Only at this time would they miss the surveillance of Master Yannis, the camera spirit.

But she has left now. Unless she suddenly missed her friends in Avalon, she might come back to take a look through those portraits.

And according to Janice's free and easy personality, I'm afraid she won't come back for a long, long time.

Looking at Isabel who was a little disappointed because she couldn't go shopping, Aiwas felt a little sorry.

Especially since Isabel was still using Yulia's appearance and had that kitten face, Aiwas felt doubly sorry.

He suddenly spoke, trying to distract Isabel: "Have you thought of a name for it? Master Janice didn't seem to have named this painting."

"Shall I do it?"

Isabel was a little surprised.

"Of course," Aiwas smiled while holding the painting, "You can't let me name it, right? You are a real 'all-rounder'."

I don't know what she thought of, Isabel's originally somewhat disappointed mood suddenly became high, and she said excitedly: "Then I'll do it! Let me think about it..."

Aiwas's plan was successful.

Isabel, who used the appearance of "Yulia", kept frowning and thinking until she returned to the Temple of Silver and Tin.

Isabel's disguise is really good.

Aiwass stared at her profile and couldn't help thinking in his heart.

I don't think I'll have a chance to take a walk today... But tomorrow is the Candle Festival, which is also quite lively. I can still go out and relax.

If Isabel can skillfully use the "painted skin" that Master Janice remade for her, then even if she goes out to play by herself, Aiwass will not have to worry about her having an accident.

"Got it!"

Isabel suddenly gently tugged at Aiwas's clothes and came closer.

She said seriously, word by word: "Just call it... "Be with me."

Aiwas was slightly stunned when he heard it.

He soon realized why Isabel named it that way. So he laughed helplessly.

In addition to the friendship between Janice and Sofia... it was also because Aiwas said to her this morning that Isabel remembered deeply and could not forget.

"- I am with you."
