Celestial Mage

Chapter 8: Both Danger and Opportunity

Seeing that Cyrus was about to go out, Rosen hurriedly said, "Mentor, didn't you say that all the pretty girls in the town are poisonous?"

He used Joe as a gesture, emphasizing the difficulty of painting, in order to increase the weight of the bargaining chip, so that Cyrus could teach him more spell knowledge.

And judging from Cyrus' fearful attitude towards Lilith before, that woman is not simple, and if she fails to do so, she will end up in the wilderness.

Dealing with Cyrus alone was tiring enough, he didn't want another tigress.

Cyrus had already reached the door, touching the handle with his hands, but finally stopped and did not open the door.

He didn't want to get in trouble either.

After being silent for a while, he said, "Why don't you paint another picture of the girl you painted with a quill pen yesterday?"

Just finished speaking, before Rosen could speak, he shook his head.

"No, no, that girl dresses too conservatively. Those hypocritical moralists might welcome it, but those guys are mostly poor people."

After much deliberation, Cyrus still decided to take the risk: "I know this matter well, there will be no danger."

After speaking, he opened the door and walked out.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door gradually receding, Rosen thought carefully about the pros and cons of this matter.

After some weighing, he found that this matter was not necessarily all harmful to him, and it might be beneficial.

Judging from what Cyrus said before, Lilith should belong to a certain organization in Whitehorse Town, and the leader of the organization should be Mrs. Pessie.

And Cyrus, a wandering mage, is very afraid of this organization.

Now, they are working with Lilith, making her a mannequin and painting oil paintings to make money.

Cyrus did benefit, but at the same time, Rosen's status also rose, and he and his painting skills were also publicized.

Even if Lilith and Cyrus conceal his existence, there is a game of interests between the two.

Once the oil painting can make a lot of money, Lilith and the organization behind it can completely kick Cyrus away and pull herself to do it alone.

And Cyrus will definitely try his best to avoid this situation, but he is weak, how can he prevent being kicked?

After much deliberation, Rosen came up with a solution, which was to firmly control his life in his own hands.

Once he found out that Lilith was planning to turn his back on him, Cyrus would most likely threaten Rosen's life.

If Rosen was in Cyrus' situation, he would quietly use poison or curses to control Rosen, a money-making machine.

'In Baima Town, curses are not visible, so there is a high probability that they poisoned me! '

And thinking that the cooperation between Cyrus and Lilith was a temporary idea, and it must have not been arranged in time, so he should still be safe now.

Then how to continue to be safe in the future may be entrusted to Lilith.

After thinking about this, Rosen calmed down completely, carefully organized the oil painting tools, and welcomed the future full of dangers, but also hidden opportunities.

Time passed by every minute and every second. About a quarter of an hour later, footsteps came from the corridor outside the door. A familiar footstep sounded, and it was Cyrus.

The other sound of footsteps was slightly faster, and the sound was crisper. It was the sound of women's wooden high-heeled shoes stepping on the wooden board, and it was probably Lilith.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and Cyrus walked in first, then opened the door, and stretched out his hand as an invitation gesture.

A few seconds later, a charming woman wearing a lady's gauze feather cap, a dark purple gauze knee-length skirt, and black fishnet garters walked in slowly.

It was Lilith.

'click~'

Cyrus gently closed the wooden door, pointed to Rosen and introduced, "Miss Lilith, this is my magic apprentice. He is responsible for the painting work."

Lilith gently raised her hand, and with her slender fingers she parted the veil that covered her face. She sized up Rosen carefully with her bright amber eyes, and covered her mouth with a light smile: "This is still a child, Mr. Cyrus, are you sure?" Can he draw well?"

Cyrus smiled faintly: "Miss Lilith, I never do things that I'm not sure about. As long as you cooperate, then according to the previous agreement, I will give you 2 grams of hard work each time. At the same time, the income from selling paintings will be given to you." Thirty percent."

Lilith was noncommittal.

She swayed like a cat, walked half a circle around Rosen and his easel, and stood behind Rosen.

Bending down, bringing her bright lips to the back of Rosen's neck, she jokingly said, "Young man, have you ever seen a woman's body?"

Rosen felt goosebumps on his neck, and thought to himself: "The girl from another world is really precocious. She is only two or three years older than mine, but she seems to be of two generations." '

The soft and warm scent of the perfume, like a naughty elf, happily passed around his cheeks and penetrated into Rosen's nose, making him angry with a wonderful feeling of danger and excitement at the same time.

It's like stroking the back hair of a female leopard. It's really beautiful to look at, but it's also really dangerous.

It feels really exciting.

Rosen found his heart beating faster, and his body tended to tremble slightly. After thinking for a while, he didn't suppress it at all, but amplified his body's natural reaction as much as possible.

Lilith found out and giggled: "Mr. Sellers, your little apprentice is still a baby."

Cyrus was not surprised: "Everyone has their first time, doesn't they? When Miss Lilith experienced it for the first time, she might not be calm, right?"

"You are right."

Lilith admitted generously, she tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Anyway, I have a lot of free time. Instead of staying in the hall all day and smelling the stench of a group of drunks, I might as well come here and do something interesting."

"So, shall we begin now?"

Lilith looked curious: "No problem, but how do I start?"

Cyrus pointed to the wooden bed: "Lie down on it, put on the pose you think is the most seductive to a man, and then let my apprentice draw it."

Lilith turned around and lay on her side on the wooden bed, and said with a smile, "Interesting, do you want to take off your clothes?"

"I'm talking about the posture that can seduce men the most. As for how to do it, it's up to you. As a layman, I don't talk too much."

"Hee hee~ It's really interesting."

Lilith tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Mr. Cyrus, I know what to do. However, our Nightingale will have a rule that two men cannot see the body at the same time, so."

Cyrus shrugged, and approached the door wisely: "I'm going to drink on the first floor."

Walking to the door, he said meaningfully: "Oh, by the way, it's best not to touch my personal belongings, because I have set up some not-so-friendly traps on it."

"Don't worry, Wandering Mage, Mrs. Pessie has recognized you as her friend, and we will not attack friends."

"hope so."

Cyrus closed the door and left.

Only Rosen and Lilith were left in the room.

Lilith smiled and said: "Little guy, I doubt your level, but it's boring anyway, let's try it."

She repositioned herself, and pulled the clothes on her body a little bit to show off her aura. At the same time, her eyes were only half opened, and the eyes seemed to be condensed. There was a hint of daze in the laziness , a hint of fiery teasing.

Rosen was not in a hurry to draw.

He first walked half a circle around the wooden bed, looked up, down, left, and right, then walked back behind the easel, closed his eyes and concentrated, summoned the tabletop, and began to take screenshots to select angles.

Seeing his concentrated appearance, Lilith's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and she realized that she seemed to have underestimated this thin young man.

Soon, Rosen chose the most alluring screenshot and started printing it.

From Lilith's point of view, the young man who closed his eyes and thought suddenly opened his eyes, and then turned his hands as quickly as a carriage wheel.

All kinds of paints are constantly being wiped on the drawing board, and the painting knives and brushes are like the sculptor's chisel, jumping lightly on the drawing board.

But the young man was focused, but his eyes seemed a little empty and blank, as if he was deeply trapped in his own spiritual world, completely ignoring her, a lively beauty.

"It's really interesting~"

Lilith has put away her previous contempt, and she is looking forward to the final work.

Having said that, it was the first time for her to be a model for a real painter as she was born in a small place.

This feeling is very novel, and a little honored.

You must know that those rich and powerful ladies are often the ones who allow painters to copy face to face.

Minutes and seconds passed, and a morning passed in the blink of an eye. When the aroma of food wafted into the hotel room from the window, Rosen completed the last touch of the painting.

He stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said softly, "Miss Lilith, it's done."

"Let me see."

Perhaps because she thought that Rosen was just a child who didn't understand anything, Lilith didn't continue to put on airs, showing the casual and innocent side of an ordinary girl.

Walking quickly to the canvas and taking a look, Lilith couldn't help exclaiming "Ah".

"Mother Spider, is this really me?"

'The spider mother? '

Rosen's heart moved, but his face did not change.

Lilith didn't seem to notice her slip of the tongue, she stared at the drawing board tightly, her eyes sparkling.

"Little guy, your painting skills are really amazing. It's the first time I've seen such a good painting. This painting will definitely sell for a lot of money!"

Rosen pursed his lips and 'forced' a smile: "Oh~ this is really good news."

Lilith noticed it: "Hey~ You can't be forced?"

Luo Sen shook his head again and again, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and lowered his eyes at the same time: "No, no, no~ I'm just a little tired and want to rest."

"Oh~ then you have a good rest. I'll go first."

Lilith didn't seem to think much, she turned and left the room very simply.

After a while, Cyrus came in, holding a dinner plate in his hand, and there was a lot of food in the basin.

Rosen looked at the grilled chicken with burnt butter and a large jar of goat milk on the plate, and his heart moved slightly: "I'm afraid they are here to poison you!"
