How did I become the Lord of Evil Gods?

Chapter 39 Ancient Elf Language
  "Have you used the ability of [Painter Apprentice] since you went back yesterday?" Si Zin looked at her and asked.

"This." Yun Mu tilted his head, and after recalling it for a while, he said, "Probably."

It seems that she only used the painting [Falling] skill last night when she was cleaning up those gangsters.

As for the [Spiritual Painting] and [Psychic Shock] she obtained after taking up the [Painter Apprenticeship], she has never used them.

"It's good to find opportunities to use it more and calm down, but if you lose control at the critical moment because you are not familiar with the ability, it will be more than worth the loss."

"Only by using the ability of [Painter Apprentice] more can you speed up the ether fusion with [Painter Apprentice]."

"Fusion?" Yun Mu noticed the key information.

"Well, what should I say?" Si Zin touched his chin, as if he was trying to organize his words. After a while, he said:
  "It's like a stereotype. The ether will give you different stereotypes based on what you do."

"If your swordsmanship is superb, then you are a [Swordsman]. In the same way, a person with superb painting skills will also be labeled as a [Painter]."

"Your current profession, [Painter Apprentice] is the impression mark of the ether on you. As long as you use the ability of [Painter Apprentice] more, this impression will gradually deepen."

"When you are completely integrated with the ether of the professional [Painter Apprentice], you can prepare to advance to the second-level elite [Painter]."

"Oh~ So that's it!"

Yun Mu had some doubts before about how to continue to improve himself after becoming a professional. Will he need to meditate to improve his mental power or cultivate fighting spirit like in the novel?

I didn’t expect that all I need to do is use the extraordinary abilities of the corresponding professions.

"I will practice more often," she said.

"By the way, can I accept those special commissions within the association now?"

"Of course you can, but remember to act within your capabilities when choosing a commission."

"Apprentice-level [Painter Apprentices] have little fighting ability. It is best not to accept commissions such as cleaning up monsters in sewers, exploring in the wild, or conquering monsters."

With a gentle face, Si Zin explained to her what she needed to pay attention to when accepting the commission, as well as various pitfalls that she might step into, emergencies that needed to be prevented, etc.

After talking about about a dozen situations that she might encounter, Si Zin recommended to her: "After you have earned enough contributions, you can exchange it for an introductory book on ancient Elvish language."

"Ancient Elvish?"

What is that stuff?
  Seeing Yun Mu's doubts, Si Zin explained to her: "You should have heard that the first magic was created by the elves."

"Ah."

Seeing that Yun Mu knew about this, Si Zin continued: "There was a difference between the original and oldest elves and the current elves. I don't know the specific difference. It's just that the ancient elves used The ancient Elvish language has the inherent power to mobilize the ether."

"Apprentice-level [Painter Apprentices] don't have any skills that can instantly create a painting. They can only try to shorten the painting time and the precision of the painting. In this case, you can try the ancient Elvish language."

"For example, fire."

As Si Zin spoke, he picked up the brush and randomly sketched out a symbol with only two strokes on the paper.

boom!
  A raging fire suddenly ignited on the drawing paper. However, strangely, the flames did not spread and only burned the drawing paper on the canvas to ashes.

"This is the effect of ancient Elvish language." Si Zin said to her with a smile.

Originally, if you want to summon flames, you need to draw at least the appearance of flames, but in ancient Elvish language, you only need to write the word "fire".

Yun Mu looked at the scene in front of her with some surprise, and decisively added the ancient Elvish language to her study plan.

"That's all I have to say."

Si Zin stood up and walked towards the door. As he walked, he said: "If you want to accept the commission from the association, just show your ID card to Miss Rose at the front desk."

"I still have work to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"Does he say this every time he leaves?" Yun Mu muttered after Si Zin left the painting room.

She recalled that when the other party left last time, it seemed that he also said that he had work to do.

I don’t know if he, as the president of Shuangluo City Painters Association, has any important things that he needs to do personally.

Shaking his head, Yun Mu stopped thinking about this matter.

She returned to the lobby on the first floor of the Artists Association and handed the ID card to the female waiter at the front desk, Miss Rose.     “Ah, it’s a colleague!”

Miss Rose made a cute sound, and then, after noticing the strange looks that everyone in the hall was looking at her, she immediately covered her mouth.

"Ahem." She coughed lightly, and the expression on her face returned to its usual look.

"Please follow me." She walked out from behind the counter, and then took Yun Mu to the room behind the hall on the first floor of the Painters Association.

"Here are all the commissions within the Painters Association that require the presence of extraordinary people."

Miss Rose turned on the gas lamp in the room and illuminated the various commissions hanging on the bulletin board.

Hmm. How should I put it? The number of commissions was a bit pitiful. Although Yun Mu had not counted them in detail, but after a rough glance, he estimated that there were only about thirty or forty items.

I don’t know if the number of these commissions is greater or less compared to the forces of other extraordinary beings.

Yun Mu carefully looked at the various commissions on the bulletin board and found that just as Si Zin said, there were actually commissions similar to cleaning up monsters in the sewers.

"Where do these commissions come from?" Yun Mu asked curiously, pointing to the contents of the commissions that were incompatible with the painter's profession.

"These commissions"

Miss Rose could probably guess what Yun Mu was thinking, because she had thought the same way when she first came here, so she explained to her:

"Most of these are commissions jointly issued by the Security Agency. Basically, these commissions can be seen in regular extraordinary forces."

It turned out to be issued by the Security Agency, no wonder it looks weird.
  Yun Mu thought to himself.

Let’s look at other commissions
  five minutes later.

"Damn it, why, except for the commissions issued by the Security Bureau, almost all of them are commissions requiring third-level [Painters] to carry supplies!"

"What kind of commission is it to summon the goddess of your imagination?"

"Requesting to make a [Slime] monster card for research. This seems quite normal, but I don't know how to do it!"

"Are there no commissions that an apprentice-level [Painter Apprentice] can do?"

"Actually, there are."

Miss Rose, who had been holding back laughter for a long time, finally spoke. She took out a piece of yellowish white paper from the corner of the bulletin board and handed it to her.

"what is this?"

Yun Mu took the blank paper from Miss Rose's hand with some curiosity.

　ps: The Artists Association is an organization with a long history.

　　The room where commissions related to supernatural powers were received was actually the hall of the former Painters Association.

　　It can be said that it is a long time ago.

　　However, with the continuous improvement of industrialization and modern laws.

　　The backward trade union system has gradually failed to keep up with the times.

　　This is also the main reason why extraordinary commissions are becoming increasingly rare within the Painters Association.

　　In fact, the money earned from extraordinary commissions is no longer as much as the handling fees collected from ordinary painters.

　　Sitting in front of the computer typing is really a bit freezing.

　　It’s really hard to wear something thicker and uncomfortable to type on.

　　I hope readers can forgive me.

　　I will definitely ensure normal updates.
