Superpower manga artist Kobayashi Narumi

Forum: The hero is behind the scenes.

The Lucia Islands are known as the "City on the Sea".Candy-colored houses like a fairy tale world are distributed in the land divided by rivers, like a flying chess board.In the Lucia Islands, it is much more convenient to travel by boat than by car.

And the very center surrounded by countless islands is where the king's capital of the Merman Kingdom is located, and it is also the core area where the royal family lives.

On the first day, Salem wandered around the Lucia Islands.

As long as he reveals his face, he can instantly become the center of attention of the crowd.No matter where you go, you will become the object of people scrambling to inquire.

He randomly pops up at every tavern and says candidly, "I don't have any money."

Then he politely asked if he could pay for consumption with paintings.

If rejected, he never pesters.

But if the boss agreed to his request out of curiosity.He will use a pencil to draw a small picture on the coaster, and ask the boss to exchange him for an equivalent drink.

By the third day, people in the whole city had learned from many tavern owners that his name was Salem, and he was a painter who had traveled here and had no money in his pocket.

The small paintings painted on the coasters are displayed in the store by the bosses.The guests passed it around and listened to the boss tell this interesting story.

From the boss, he could also find out the name of the hotel where Salem is currently staying.

So, Meddy watched the snowflake-like orders and flew to the hotel where they were temporarily staying, with a few love letters mixed in from time to time.

If it wasn't for Salem's sensibility to accept a few of the more well-paid orders, they might have robbed the business of the painters in the city.

Maddy counted the numbers on the check: "Siren, are we rich?"

Salem looked at it, and threw it aside casually: "These are just small profits."

His goal is very clear, to get in touch with the real big shots in this city.

It took a few days to complete the order, and all the customers were full of praise when they received the goods.And graciously let Salem handle the remaining paint and painting utensils by himself.

Salem collected the paints, and went to the paint store to buy red, yellow, and blue with the reward.He bought paper and canvas, and asked Meddy to help him stretch the canvas.

The painting materials in Shenen Continent are too expensive, but just like this, he spent all the rewards he got.

It's not that he can't ask Daniel for help, it's just that he doesn't want to use such a trivial matter to realize Daniel's favor.

Facing the canvas, Lin Chengshi took a deep breath: Thank Mr. Takeda for his abnormal training.Unexpectedly, one day I could only basically paint with the three primary colors.It's outrageous.

He squeezes paint into the palette.I took yellow and blue and blended them together. There were grass green and white in the remaining paint, and I added a little bit to it.

The proportions are just right, and it is a very beautiful green, like a clear lake in the midday sun.

The pen moved involuntarily.

Golden hair, blue eyes, and golden red flames around her.

Arthur was drawn unconsciously.

After all, the most convenient character drawn by cartoonists is always the protagonist!

Sellen produced three oil paintings and several sketches in three days.

Fortunately, he bought oil that dries quickly.Even so, Meddy was careful when helping to carry it, for fear of damaging the picture.

It was also at this moment that Daniel brought the good news.

"My patron wants to hold a solo exhibition for me." Daniel's pale face was rarely flushed, and his eyes were shining.

"Congratulations! That's great!" Although she didn't know what it meant, Meddy sincerely sent her blessings.

But at this time, Daniel's attention has been attracted by the paintings that Salem hangs in the small room.

He suddenly realized: "So Seren, are you good at painting portraits?"

Salem's three oil paintings and all the sketches are all portraits.

Salem smiled and did not deny it: "I want to take an order for a portrait."

Daniel agreed: "The demand for portraits is indeed great, and I will follow up with suitable clients for you."

"Thank you, Daniel."

Salem doesn't care what orders he receives, after all, the main line of his comics is not painting.

What he valued was what lay behind the portraits—the opportunity to meet the dignitaries in person.

There is no avant-garde technique or special composition in Salem's works, which are the most traditional portraits.

The only special thing is that his portraits seem to have been "beautified", and each one looks radiant.They give up realism, just to serve customers.

If Mr. Takeda knew about Lin Chengshi's behavior of reversing history like this, he might be blown away with anger.

But again, Salem is not really here to engage in art.

Daniel took some of his portraits and showed them to regular customers he knew.Most of the clients he knew were big spenders, and they did bring Salem a few big deals.These old customers spread word of mouth, and new customers came here admiringly.

Since Daniel was preparing for an exhibition, his patron arranged for him a residence in the city, allowing him to devote himself to making some more works.And after Daniel asked the patron's consent, he let Seren and the others live in as well.

Seeing that Saleen's order was almost impossible to fill, Daniel didn't feel jealous: "I knew that Saleen is a genius, and now everyone knows your talent, it's really great."

Even Daniel's patrons took notice as Salem's reputation grew.

The thought of the famed portraitist living in her own house led her one day to seek her too.

It turned out that her younger sister was about to get married, and she wanted to ask a painter to paint a portrait of her and her husband as newlyweds.

Saleen was originally only one of her choices, but when she saw Saleen's face in person, she immediately placed an order.

"No problem, ma'am. Thank you for your generosity in allowing me to lodge here. I will make your order first."

There was a perfect business smile on Salem's mouth, coaxing his wife to be elated.

This is the moment, Salem thought.

The lady's sister is marrying into a royal family.

All he needed was a chance to get in touch with the royal family, and for that, it would be no problem for him to paint "Portrait of the Arnaud Finneys".

After getting acquainted with the royal family through painting, Salem, like every ordinary painter, expressed his desire to become a court painter by knocking sideways.

As far as the royal family is concerned, this is nothing more than a lift.So Salem successfully obtained... the qualification to become a court painter.

That's right, in this country that adores art, the court painter has a transcendent and noble status, and it is also the position that the Merman people most yearn for. It is not something that can be done casually.

There may be only a few places for the position of court painter every year, and all painters who want to compete for this position must take an exam.

Those famous painters will be invited to participate.But for an unknown painter like Salem, if he wanted a qualification, he needed some special channels.

It is of course safest and legal to obtain directly from members of the royal family.

After all, this year's exam starts in less than a month, and Salem is unwilling to wait another year.

After successfully obtaining the exam quota, Salem seemed to have a feeling...

He said silently in his heart: wait a moment, don't attack suddenly every time, the experience is extremely bad.

So this time, he returned to his residence smoothly and sat down on the comfortable sofa chair.It was only then that his eyes went dark and he woke up in the real world.

This time he didn't wake up suddenly like before, but gave Lin Chengshi time to recuperate.

Lin Chengshi didn't know if this meant that he was gradually reaching a consensus with that mysterious force...

"Hey, old man, let me see how you arrange me in the comic again." Lin Chengshi said to himself.

The pace of this manga is fast.

Using countless fragmentary mirrors, the entire layout process of Salem is smoothly displayed.

Salem made a fortune by cheating food and drink in the city, exchanged three tubes of paint for an order, became a portrait master in a month, and climbed up to the royal family in minutes.

The readers were dazzled and stunned, and in the end they all became salted fish who only knew 666.

[Is this the true strength of Saishen?! 】

[This, is this the story of a paperclip being exchanged for a villa]

【If you want to know someone, you only need to go through 6 people, I believe it】

【Now it seems that the moment Saishen saw Daniel on the boat, everything was settled】

[I think the upstairs is exaggerated, but if you think about it carefully, it might be true if you put it on Salem]

Lin Chengshi nodded in satisfaction. It seems that the readers responded very well, and Salem's high-intelligence businessman design did not collapse at all.

Most readers enjoyed it, but...

When Seren picked up the paintbrush and was the first to draw Arthur's portrait, the Aceia CP party was completely paralyzed.

【I said, the old thief Xiaolin definitely did it on purpose】

[What is wrong with drawing, let Seren draw Arthur]

[In the previous chapter, Seren was wearing Arthur's coat and I became wary, so I was waiting here! 】

【Arthur has become Salem's obsession】

【If I don’t draw it down, I’m afraid I’ll forget your face——】

Lin Chengshi: The imagination is too rich, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time, I will not take the blame.

Due to the word limit, the barrage can only express the most intuitive reaction of readers.Lin Chengshi had to go to the forum to see the discussion to confirm the specific response to this statement.

The most popular post on the Mengman Forum happens to be about "God's Grace".

Title: [I'm in a daze, am I watching "God's Grace"? I thought I was watching "The Blue X Era". 】

[If you haven't watched the latest episode of "God's Grace", go and watch it.My art student already had ptsd after watching "The Blue X Period", but I didn't expect that I would also be painting when I came to watch "The Grace of God", and I also had to take an exam. I was really in a trance. 】

[I understand you, the poster. When I was watching, I couldn't help but cut out to look at the title. Isn't this really "I Am a Great Painter in Another World"? 】

[It can't be that Mr. Xiaolin heard from the readers that the plot is too routine, so he should not be routine at all, right? 】

[Laughing and crying, this is indeed out of the ordinary, no one would have guessed that the hero suddenly went to paint!So where did the main line of the manga go? Arthur didn't care about it, didn't he go to the desert? Why did he feel that Seren was going to live in the mermaid kingdom for a long time? 】

[Focus, "Palace" painter. 】

[It is not necessary to take the court painter exam just to make money, Salem must have her own plan, and I am afraid it is aimed at the legendary pearl! 】

[The hero is so nb, as long as you trust the hero.I feel that IQ is crushed by the male protagonist, and I no longer read this manga without thinking. 】

[No one thinks that Seren's current shaping is too supernatural?The future is completely unprepared, and she suddenly has the ability to draw, which Meddy didn't know about after knowing him for so long. 】

[This can be regarded as a foreshadowing, (Screenshot 1.jpg) (Screenshot 2.jpg) In these two places, Seren used branches to draw on the ground and snow, and Seren was able to draw maps freehand before.The reason why Meddy didn't know it might be that Salem was embarrassed to use Arthur's money to buy painting tools...]

[Now all the skills of the hero are related to his life experience by default.See how Mr. Kobayashi explained in the end, I hope it can be justified. 】

[So is there any professional to analyze, how is the hero's painting skills?]

[The drawing skills are exactly the same as Mr. Kobayashi's, which is funny. 】

[Funny, how to analyze the drawing skills of comic characters, they are all drawn by the author.Since the people in the comics say it's good, it's good. 】

……

Lin Chengshi clicked on the second most popular post on the forum, which was also related to "God's Grace". However, compared to the previous post which focused on plot discussions, the title of this post revealed a strong spirit of entertainment.

Title: [Sailen, you sinful man, who exactly do you love. 】

[First molested Francis, then had a deep affection for Arthur, then had a long relationship with Meddy, and now there is a new handsome boy Daniel.Just ask Salem, who did you give your sincerity to! 】

【Siren: I have always respected Daniel, I am grateful to Francis, and I feel pity for Metty, but I have... an unforgettable love for Arthur. (dog head)]

【Siren: You are all my wings! 】

【The old sea king of Salem... Seeing that Meddy was fooled by him, she just wanted to run away and don't get involved in these Nantong matters. 】

【Don't you think that Meddy raises Salem as a son, or the kind who blindly dotes on her. 】

[Wearing a filter is indeed a bit of a heartthrob for Salem, after all, the value of the face is there.But if you take off the filter and discuss the plot... In fact, they are basically the male lead's tools.

Only Arthur got the sincerity. After all, Salem wanted to resurrect him, so he wore his ring all the time, and took out his pocket watch from time to time to see things and think about others. 】

【I've really endured certain Atheya CP fans for a long time... I said it as if I was an official partner.However, there is currently no official match for the male protagonist of this comic, only the female protagonist Metty.

Many people wrote small papers to analyze why Seren regarded Meddy as a tool man, and why Meddy regarded Seren as his son.It's really doing everything to wash the sugar.

The fact is that Seme and the others have been traveling together, and they have staged countless heroic rescues, while Arthur is just a sideshow who has appeared in a few episodes.Thanks, stop posting brainwashing packages. 】

[Sigh, don't quarrel. Judging from the timeline of the comics, Seren met Arthur and Meddy at the same time, and then Seren lived in Arthur's house for more than a year.Salem admitted to Arthur that he is a pure human being, and it can be seen that he really regards Arthur as a relative.

Meddy should be in a similar position, after all, there was a scene of making a snowman in the middle, implying a family of three.If you want me to say that the three of them should be the feelings between relatives, if you have to talk about love, maybe the childhood sweethearts Arthur and Meddy are more dramatic. 】

【However, if Arthur is resurrected, it would be embarrassing not to be with Seren, after all, he gave away such an important ring. 】

[Thinking about it, it's scary that Salem approached Arthur just because of that ring.After getting it, he designed to attract robbers to kill Arthur.After all, the robbers didn't come early or late, and they came when Salem rarely went out. 】

[Fuck, I'm actually somewhat convinced by the theory upstairs. 】

[Laughing and crying, stop conspiracy theory about the male protagonist, they all said that the protagonist cannot be a real villain! 】

[Who knows, don't guess what Xiao Lin is thinking. 】

Lin Chengshi closed the post without a word.The brains of these readers...not to mention quite logical.But it's completely different from the truth.

Can these readers have a little confidence in the character of the author himself?

He played Salem, how could he murder his own son!
