Shoot The Dragon With One Arrow

"Aiya, my poor Pepper doesn't know where he is now? Is there any hungry?" The woman was a noble's wife, speaking in a calm tone. She lost her pet, and came to the mercenary union to issue a task to find the pet.

"Mrs. Ruth, Evan is our painter who is responsible for drawing portraits of your pet. Is it Pepper, right? Could you describe Pepper’s image characteristics." Harold introduced the one behind the small table Evan.

As usual, Mrs. Ruth casts a questioning look at Evan. Evan has long been accustomed to this.

Like this kind of impersonal simulation portrait, Evan is also experienced. Hearing that Pepper was a two-tailed cat, Evan quickly sculpted the outline, and then modified it a little bit according to Mrs. Ruth's description.

Mrs. Ruth described the color of the pupils, the size of the ears, and the pattern on the body in a very specific way. It seems that she really cares about the cat.

As the painting perfected, Mrs. Ruth's eyes shone a little.

A well-behaved two-tailed cat is yawning and his misty eyes are moisturized. On the basis of realism, Evan added a little manga drawing technique to make the two-tailed cat become quite cute.

"Why don't you give this picture to me." Mrs. Ruth took the finished draft and couldn't put it down.

"It's okay, but...according to the rules..." Evan cast his gaze at Harold calmly.

Harold pondered for a moment, "Yes, the mercenary union has the rules of the mercenary union..."

Mrs. Ruth took out a Silver Coin from her wallet, "This is OK Is it?"

"Deal!" Harold said decisively.

After Mrs. Ruth left, Harold sighed: "It's so easy to make money."

"Don't forget half of it is mine." Evan reminded.

Harold is actually very rich, but he is a bit greedy for money. When someone asked for painting at first, Evan gave it away generously. Harold saw a business opportunity from it and stopped him from giving away for nothing. When someone asked for it, the two played a double role and made a small profit. There is extra income, and Evan is of course very cooperative.

Mrs. Ruth's concern for two-tailed cats is not fake. Evan saw the possibility of a deal, so he deliberately added these tips.

Evan's portrait painting business back then, if it were opened in Shangcheng District, the result would definitely be quite different.

After that, another client came in, but he left right after Evan finished painting. Not everyone is interested in painting, and very few people are willing to spend money to buy paintings.

"Yes, this is today's wages, a total of ninety bronzes."

The work of the garrison officer is twenty bronzes, and the two portraits of the mercenary guild are twenty bronzes. Ruth Evan gets half of the money for the painting of the lady, 50 bronzes.

Evan took out the bulging cloth bag from his arms and put it on Harold’s table, "Uncle De, here are 94 Silver Coins and 570 Copper Coins, plus today’s wages, troublesome Help me replace it with Gold Coin."

Harold opened the drawer and took out a Gold Coin. "I have prepared it for you a long time ago. After working hard for so long, the tuition has finally been collected. Uncle De will help you Happy."

"But Uncle De, after enrolling, you may not be able to continue your wanted painting job."

"cough cough...If I remember correctly, you were I haven’t passed the two exams even the first one. Don’t speak big words, hurry up and practice. Don’t worry about such a large mercenary guild, you are missing a drawing. And there are weekends, when the time comes You can come and work part-time."

"Uncle Xie De." Evan thanked Harold from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for his appreciation, it would be difficult for Evan to earn this Gold Coin.

Leaving the Mercenary Guild, Evan made a special detour to take a look at Green Lion Academy.

The fifteen-meter-high blue brick wall, and the wooden door with magical patterns, is placed in front of a majestic bronze lion statue, all of which make Evan look forward to.

There are two teenagers who are accompanied by their families, and they also look longingly at the Academy.

"The assessment will begin in one week, and this year must pass!" Evan muttered silently.

The most common career model in this World is apprenticeship, tailor apprenticeship, blacksmith apprenticeship, etc. Once the development path is determined, there will be few changes, and the basic life will be set.

After Evan learned about the development prospects of these careers in detail, he had no interest in apprentices. Without him, he made too little money, so he could maintain adequate food and clothing, which was far from his ideal life.

By chance, he heard the conversation of hotel guests.

"The boy Rod, I watched him grow up. Now that he is worthwhile, he is hired by a nobleman in the upper city and can earn one Gold Coin a month."

" That's not the case. Green Lion Academy graduates start with at least 80 silver per month. The chief graduate of each year is directly awarded the Baron knighthood."

80 silver? Baron's title?

Evan thus determined the direction of his efforts.

Back to the hotel, Evan faced reality, wiped the table and swept the floor, and started business at night.

"You brat, why didn't you run away again?" The one who should come or will come, Leslie took Evan's neck, fiercely fiercely.

Evan has an innocent expression on his face, "Huh? Leslie Young Master, you ran too fast. After I was hit, I couldn't find you for a long time after looking for it."

"Evan, table number two is ready, take it over." Nelson's voice came from the kitchen.

"Hmph, don't run around tomorrow, follow me closely. If you play and disappear this move..." Leslie patted Evan's back hard, and saw Evan grinning, satisfied, nodded, I ran to the kitchen to get a sausage and ate it upstairs.

I have been busy until about nine o'clock in the evening, when the business is over, Evan finished the same dinner as noon and returned to his nest.

After a busy day in the green, Evan lay tiredly on the haystack. He reached into his trouser pocket, touched the round and hard thing, and regained his energy.

He took out the Gold Coin, put it in his mouth, bit it, and smirked twice.

Evan touched his pocket countless times today, for fear of losing the Gold Coin.

"It’s not safe to put in a pocket." Evan looked around for a week, then carefully stuffed the Gold Coin into the corner of the wall. "That’s it."

Evan from the haystack Take out his Supreme Treasure, a secret book of Battle Qi cultivation.

"Basic Battle Qi"

lowest is also the most widely circulated cheat on the market, so the price is not high, Evan bought it for 20 Copper Coins.

The Green Lion Academy's first test was a physical test. Evan failed the strength test twice. He was too thin and couldn't eat enough all day. It's strange to be able to have strength.

"If you can practice Battle Qi, your body will gain Battle Qi increase, you will definitely pass the test."

But Evan has been practicing for so many years, and even the most basic cyclones have not been able to condense. Success, he suspected that the book might have problems more than once, and went to the market to confirm several times that the book is true, and the failure to cultivation success can only be his own problem.

"I don't believe it, I can't even reach the third stage of fighting power!"

Evan sit cross-legged, and according to the book, try to enter a state of meditation. He closed his eyes tightly, relaxed his body, and soon entered...sleep state...
