Pastor's Tantra

——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, nor is she 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 herself 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, the viewer cannot truly enter the world in the painting, and cannot truly put himself 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 person 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 Aiwas gave made her a little surprised.

His evaluation is not tainted with too much personal color.

Be objective and fair enough, 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'. Your choice of 'All-rounder' is a wise choice. If Your pursuit of the pinnacle of your singing craft will only drive you crazy before you get there.”

But for some reason, seeing her teacher recognizing Aiwass so much, she couldn't feel even the slightest bit jealous.

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, Yannis' mood was also very subtle.

She accepted Isabel as her disciple, partly because she felt the "beauty" in 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 comments on 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.

Sofia is extremely cheerful and unfettered by tradition.

She ignored many rules, carried out a lot of reforms, and resolutely abolished many traditions that now seem to be outdated - such as those tortures that are more severe than the death penalty, such as the convention that women cannot become knights, such as The old law that said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

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

Yanis spent twenty years with the enlightened and young queen before leaving her and continuing her travels around the world.

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

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

But Aiwass is different.

Yanis keenly sensed the beauty in him that was similar to her own.

He is handsome and calm, which is undoubtedly a male beauty, but at the same time he also has a female sensitivity and delicacy; his temperament is mature and his behavior is steady, but he also has the vitality of a young man; as a person He was a pastor and walked the path of devotion, but Yanis keenly noticed that he had an invisible arrogance towards the world.

This feeling of contradiction and balance made Yanis seem to see another version of herself.

Similar to myself but different——

Aiwass couldn't help being speechless when he heard this.

Isn't 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 having a fight?

Let's forget it, I'm afraid Sherlock will be beaten to death.

After Aiwas declined, Yanis once again recommended a round of beauty. After Aiwass refused for the second time, she didn't force it.

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

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

If you are forced to follow a path that you don't agree with and don't like, you will one day deviate from the path. It would all be in vain.

Yanis just felt sorry.

Aiwass clearly has the talent for 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 devotion. There is a high probability that he can reach the fifth energy level like her, which is close to the limit of mortals.

And considering the short lifespan of humans, his talents may be even better than his own.

Thinking of this, she made a decision.

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

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

Even Princess Isabel couldn't help but take a breath and didn't dare to say a word.

Aiwass knows how much Yanis likes this painting - among the three paintings, "Visiting the Temple of Akpolis" is Yanis's first magic painting, which is her determination to walk on the extraordinary road. Her own motivation also hides the teenage ambition of "comparing herself to the apostle Hippocrates"; and "Crystal Sea" is the scene at the end of the world that she has seen, and it is her gift to those who cannot leave the glass island and will never have the chance to see it. What a beautiful gift from her best friend Sofia to that scene... a summary of her journey around the world and the culmination of her friendship.

And Golden Dawn is the pinnacle of her sheer craft.

It was a painting she painted through the shock of watching the wonders of the sun when she saw people worshiping the sun in the Horus Empire. The best painting that can be drawn without involving the "power of the path".

From this painting onwards, her paintings have a mysterious power that can change reality. This is the last painting that can flow and be viewed by all mortals. It is also the most highly regarded painting among all Yanis's paintings.

Undoubtedly a masterpiece. Its value is immeasurable.

——How can you give something like this to someone when you meet them for the first time? !

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

When Yanis spoke her next words, Aiwass finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s okay, just ask. I'm just afraid that I don't have any demands - the most difficult thing to repay is a debt of favor, especially this kind of troublesome favor that is hard to say exactly how much it's worth.

But when he heard Yanis' request, Aiwass's expression became more subtle.

"You are a genius, Aiwass. I believe you will develop very well on the path of devotion... Even if you have just stepped into the extraordinary world, your promotion speed must 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 advancement ceremony or the third advancement ceremony, if you have already caught up with Isabel...can you wait for her for a while and advance with her? Of course, the full moon ceremony will do... "

This requirement is almost equivalent to no requirement.

Bringing friends in the full moon ceremony and intercepting enemies in the new moon ceremony are basically the rules of the supernatural world.

This can only be said to be a matter of course.

Friends with the same progress and other paths will have a pretty good advantage on the extraordinary road... Although Yanis only needs to help Isabel once, as long as her advancement speed is not much slower than Aiwass, this is basically It was the parents who took action and personally appointed a fixed team.

After all, the probability of winning by matching together is greater than that of playing solo. 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 slight problem.

"...Should I find a chance to show off my cards to Her Highness the Princess first?" He thought in his heart.

If I get into the book and find out that I am her "Mr. Fox"...will it have a bad psychological impact on the little girl?

Aiwass fell into thought.
