Chapter 56 "Golden Dawn"

——Medium.

Just after hearing the comments about the first painting, Yanis immediately understood Aiwass's aesthetic tendency.

Moderation is not a derogatory term. This is the way of beauty she pursues.

The path of beauty will affect oneself from the material level, making one's image and temperament gradually move closer to one's ideal "perfect beauty". And Yanis is not too tall among humans and not too short among elves; her figure blurs the characteristics of men and women, and her face and temperament cannot be called mature or immature.

Because "the aesthetic of moderation" is the aesthetic that has the most audience.

This is Yanis’ personal understanding of the “Path of Beauty”. This is also the reason why she walks on the path of balance.

Different from the professional critics of Iris who have spicy words and sharp eyesight - they can always find some points that even Yanis can't think of, some details that she doesn't care about, and they are immersed in the void and talking about themselves. Something.

When creators transform inspiration into works, there will inevitably be losses.

After all, viewers cannot truly enter the world in the painting, and cannot truly put themselves in the artist's shoes and feel the artist's thoughts and emotions when creating.

They can only appreciate it with their own knowledge and understanding.

Real "beauty" has something in common and can move people of different races, genders, origins, ages, and cultures. But if it comes to "the reason for feeling beautiful", then everyone's answer will be different.

Because instead of saying that they feel the beauty from the artwork, it is better to say that they see their own reflection in the artwork.

My own life, my own fantasies, my own fears, my own dreams.

Therefore, the answers given by viewers will be more or less biased.

Yanis likes to ask other people what they think of her paintings. Because she is a creator herself, she certainly knows what the standard answer is as a "benchmark".

By asking, she can find out whether the other party has real talent, level and talent. You can also reversely analyze your own personality, experience and even path tendencies from the comments that the other person has racked his brains to spit out.

It was as if she saw the condensed results of life one after another in these comments. This is also a kind of psychological test, and she never tires of it.

——But the answer Aiwass gave made her a little surprised.

His evaluation is not tainted with too much personal color.

Enough to be objective and fair, but at the same time not lacking in emotion. She is outspoken about the shortcomings of her immature skills, and will appropriately praise the areas of pride that she has carefully laid out but that are not appreciated by others.

It's like a concluding answer from another self...a more mature self from the future.

There is no doubt that Aiwass is his "soulmate".

"...Are you interested in embarking on the path of beauty?"

Yanis couldn't help but ask: "I think you may be the human being who has traveled the furthest on the road to beauty."

"Huh?"

Isabel on the side was startled and looked at her teacher in surprise.

She has never seen a teacher give such a high evaluation to someone!

The teacher's evaluation of himself can even be considered low!

Yanis's original words at that time were: "With your talent, no branch of the path of beauty can reach its limit, not even the 'Songer'. It is a wise choice for you to choose 'All-rounder'. If Your pursuit of the pinnacle of your singing skills will only drive you crazy before you get there.”

But for some reason, when she saw her teacher recognizing Aiwass so much, she couldn't feel any jealousy in her heart.

There is only a sense of joy and a subtle sense of pride.

It's like a friend you finally found and was highly praised by your parents when you brought it home.

——And I raised this child!

Isabel whispered in her heart.

She didn't dare to say it because she was afraid of being scolded - of course she knew that Aiwass was raised by Professor Moriarty, and she also knew that she had only played Aiwass's mother once in a dream. But she still couldn't completely "come out of the drama", and she still couldn't forget the memory of that dream.

So, this is just what she said to herself.

Rather than deceiving myself, it is more about not forgetting.

On the other side, Yanis' mood was also very subtle.

She accepted Isabel as her disciple, partly because she felt the "beauty" from Isabel and thought she was cute enough; partly because she and Queen Sofia were close friends.

The first time they met was sixty years ago, when Queen Sofia had just succeeded to the throne.

She was a lively teenager then, even younger than Isabel is today.

But it is completely different or even opposite to Isabel's personality-Sofia was full of energy, extremely outgoing and approachable when she was young. She would often sneak out of the palace after dressing up and go to the theater to watch a play; or she would enter the school wearing schoolgirl clothes and ask other students for their evaluation of various government decrees as a school girl.

That was the first time Yanis came to Avalon for a painting exhibition. At her painting exhibition, she met the young Queen Sofia. He was so amazed by the beauty and vitality of this lovely girl that he wanted to draw a painting for her on the spot.

They were painting and chatting. As a result, when Yannis was halfway through painting, the queen's personal guards rushed over.

It was then that Yanis realized that this girl who looked younger than herself was actually the new queen of this country.

Sophia is very cheerful and not bound by tradition.

She disdains many rules, and has carried out a lot of reforms and resolutely abolished many traditions that seem to be outdated now - such as tortures that are more severe than the death penalty, such as the convention that women cannot become knights, such as the old law that knight families can only be imprisoned but not executed... and also for the prosperity and development of the kingdom, the teaching and learning of some "forbidden arts" are open.

The development of Avalon's alchemy, art, preservation, medicine, and translation and detective of the wisdom path all started with Queen Sophia.

Janis lived with this enlightened and young queen for twenty years before leaving her and continuing her journey around the world.

Now she returned to Avalon and accepted Isabel as a student, just because she saw the shadow of her former best friend in Isabel. But in fact, she didn't think Isabel could inherit her mantle.

Art requires a lot of time to accumulate. The five times life span difference between humans and elves is an insurmountable chasm in the field of art.

But Aiwas is different.

Janice keenly sensed the beauty similar to her own from him.

He was handsome and calm, which was undoubtedly a male beauty, but at the same time he also had a female sensitivity and delicacy; his temperament was mature and his style of doing things was steady, but he also had the vitality of a young man; as a pastor, he walked on the path of dedication, but Janice keenly captured his invisible arrogance towards the world.

This sense of contradiction and balance made Janice seem to see another self.

Similar to herself but different -

Aiwass was speechless when he heard this.

Is this a coincidence?

Guess what, Sherlock just said yesterday that I am more suitable for the path of wisdom. As a result, Master, you said today that I am suitable for the path of beauty... How about you two fight?

Forget it, I am afraid that Sherlock will be beaten to death.

After Aiwass declined, Janice recommended another round of the path of beauty. And after Aiwass refused for the second time, she did not force it.

After all, walking on the path requires not only corresponding talents but also some obsession.

If you don't want to, you can't force it.

If you force yourself to walk on a path that you don't approve of or like, you will deviate from the path one day. Then everything will be in vain.

Janice just felt very sorry.

Aiwass obviously has the talent of the path of beauty, but he has no desire to pursue beauty. If he can enter the path of beauty, his future will definitely be much brighter than the path of dedication. There is a high probability that he can reach the fifth energy level like her, close to the limit of mortals.

And considering the short lifespan of humans, his talent may be better than hers.

Thinking of this, she made a decision.

"Since you like my paintings so much," Janice said lightly, "then I will give you "Golden Dawn."

Hearing this, Aiwass suddenly opened his eyes wide and felt his scalp tingling.

Even Princess Isabel couldn't help but take a breath and dared not say a word.

Aiwas knew how much Janice liked this painting. Among the three paintings, "Visiting the Temple of Acropolis" was Janice's first magic painting. It was her encouragement to herself who was determined to walk on the extraordinary path, and it also concealed her youthful ambition of "comparing herself to the apostle Hippocrates". "Crystal Sea" was the scene of the end of the world she saw, and it was a gift she gave to her best friend Sophia who could not leave the Glass Island and would never have the opportunity to see how beautiful that scene was... It was the summary of her journey around the world and the crystallization of her friendship.

"Golden Dawn" was the pinnacle of her pure skills.

It was a painting she drew when she saw people worshiping the sun in the Horus Empire and was shocked by the sunrise. It was the best painting that could be drawn without involving the "power of the path".

From this painting onwards, her paintings carried mysterious power and could change reality. This was the last painting that could flow and be viewed by all mortals, and it was also the most highly rated painting among all Janice's paintings.

It is undoubtedly a masterpiece of the highest level. Its value is inestimable.

——How can you give such a thing to someone the first time you meet them? !

"Of course, it can't be considered completely free..."

When Janice said the next sentence, Aiwas finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay, as long as there is a request. The worst thing is that there is no request - the debt of favor is the most difficult to repay, especially this kind of troublesome favor that is hard to say how much it is worth.

But when he heard Janice's request, Aiwas's expression became more subtle.

"You are a genius, Aiwas. I believe you will be able to develop well on the path of dedication... Even if you have just entered the extraordinary, your promotion speed will definitely be very fast.

"As you can see, my student Isabel is a somewhat weak girl. I am not very confident about her advancement ceremony.

"When you are performing the second or third advancement ceremony, if you have caught up with Isabel... Can you wait for her for a while and advance with her? Of course, the full moon ceremony can be..."

This request is almost equivalent to no request.

It is basically a common practice in the supernatural world to bring friends with you during the full moon ceremony and to stop enemies during the new moon ceremony.

This can only be said to be done out of convenience.

Friends with the same progress and other paths will have a considerable advantage on the extraordinary path... Although Janice said that she only needed to help Isabel once, as long as her advancement speed was not much slower than Aiwass, this was basically a parent personally making an appointment for a fixed team.

After all, the probability of winning when entering the dungeon together is greater than that of entering the dungeon alone. Having someone you can absolutely trust is a huge advantage. Therefore, Aiwass had no reason to refuse.

But when it comes to Aiwass, there is a small problem.

"... Should I find an opportunity to show my cards to Her Royal Highness the Princess first?" He thought in his heart.

If I enter the dungeon and find out that I am her "Mr. Fox"... Will it have a bad psychological impact on the little girl?

Aiwass fell into deep thought.
