How did I become the Lord of Evil Gods?

Chapter 438 Promotion
"Then let's stop here today and have some rest."

In the Limestone Hotel, Yun Mu said to Stia, Perris, Maine, and Sabelle.

"Yeah." The guide Miss Perris nodded. Because of what happened before, she, like Yun Mu and the others, temporarily moved into the Limestone Hotel.

Of course, she used her own money.

In fact, Yun Mu did suggest that they just live in the guide's house, but this suggestion was rejected by the other party.

The main reason is that there is not enough space in Perris's house, and it is not realistic to accommodate so many people.

Speaking of which, what that python Garcia said before leaving is also a bit worrying.

Why does the other party always use the term "plague" when referring to Royal, the god of fear and plague?

Although calling out the god's name directly is very impolite and will attract the god's attention, the other party is Royal's follower, so it shouldn't be a big deal even if you call out a few times.

Even if they don't say their real names, they should use words like "My Lord" instead.

And why would that guy tell her such a thing?

Wasn't she coming here to assassinate her?
It's really strange, I have no idea why.

But no matter what that guy's purpose was, she would never abandon Sabelle.

After all, Sabelle is her crew member!
Besides, the situation was not as serious as Snake Garcia said. Only when they were close to a certain distance could Royale's followers sense the approximate direction.

The specific scope is probably about the same as an entire city.

As for how Yun Mu knew?
Humph, she is also another God of Fear and Plague after all. It would have been fine if she didn’t realize it before, but now that she knows about this, of course she can test it out herself.

It's a pity that the aura emanating from Sabelle cannot be eliminated. This is mainly due to the divine power of Royall in her body that has not been absorbed.

Only when she becomes a transcendent being can she digest it completely.

However, a transcendental person must wait until he is at least 12 years old to be employed. Before that, the ether in the human body has not been completely stabilized, and it is impossible to be employed as a transcendental person.

It’s really a headache just thinking about it.

"Ugh"

With an imperceptible sigh, Yun Mu slowly closed his eyes and stopped thinking about these troublesome things.

There will always be a way when the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. There will always be a way.

I’m going to sleep first today.

"Uh-huh—where is Perris going to take us?"

The next morning, after having breakfast at the Limestone Hotel, Perris recommended a place to Yunmu and the others.

Although what happened yesterday, they still have to participate in the painting competition. Because the theme of the painting has to fit the city of Yerga, Yunmu and Stia hope that Perris can recommend a good place to them.

"It's just ahead. We'll be there soon." Perris kept it a secret for the time being.

However, looking at the somewhat dilapidated paths around them and the winding dirt road at the end of their sight, if nothing unexpected happens, the guide should be taking them to the top of the mountain.

Sure enough, when everyone climbed to the top with great effort, Perris spoke:

"It's right here. It's a pity that it's not night time now, otherwise we could see the night view of the city. And you know, if you look down from here, the tops of the three tallest buildings in Yerga just correspond to the three main stars of Libra."

The three main stars refer to the center points supporting the scales on the left and right sides of Libra, as well as the fulcrum star in the center.

Unfortunately, it is daytime now, and even at the top of the mountain, not a single star can be seen.

As for waiting until night, forget it.

After all, the deadline for the painting competition is today at noon.

"Even if it's not at night, it's enough." Yun Mu said at this time.

It is worthy of being a place recommended by the guide. Apart from the night and the stars, you can overlook the entire city even during the day.

With this kind of picture, it would not be difficult to complete the painting.

Of course, although it was a bird's-eye view from above, Yun Mu did not intend to draw the entire city.

Firstly, it seemed a bit perfunctory to do so. Secondly, she was definitely not the only one who could think of this. She always felt uncomfortable if the content of her painting was the same as others. Although it probably wouldn't affect her advancement, she still didn't want to do so.

Ah, or maybe just draw a picture of Yerga as a city girl. The personification of the city girl will definitely make the people in this world stunned!

Ahem, just kidding. Although he was a little eager, Yun Mu still wanted to win. He didn't want to fail to advance because of a spur of the moment action.

Besides this, if I didn't stop when drawing feminine things and was found to be the author of "Torrina's Adventure Journal", my life in the other world would probably end here.

It doesn't seem right. Even if she didn't advance, so what? Does she care about the reward for the painting competition?
Speaking of which, what was the reward for the painting competition? She didn't seem to have asked Si Xin this question.

Thinking of this, Yun Mu asked Stia beside him: "Um, Stia, do you know what the reward for the painting competition is?"

"Huh?" Stia, who was conceiving a painting, was a little surprised when she heard this: "You, you don't know?"

"The champion of the painting competition will receive a reward of 2000 gold frost and 1000 points of association contribution. Most importantly, he or she can become a core member of the Painters' Association."

"If you become a core member, you can enjoy many conveniences, and you are also eligible to run for president of the branch or headquarters association."

"Ah..." Stia suddenly remembered something when she said this. She looked at Yun Mu with admiration and said, "With Miss Yun Mu's strength, she will definitely be able to win the championship easily. Moreover, it is completely enough to become the president of the association!"

"Well, I can become a core member, but forget about being the president." Yun Mu said with some resistance.

If I become the president, won’t I have to work in the association every day like Si Xin?
She doesn't want this kind of thing.

She was quite interested in becoming a core member and enjoying treatment that ordinary members could not enjoy.

In addition, there is the 2000 gold frost given by the champion. To be honest, this thing is the most attractive to her.

Although the current situation of the Painters Association in the Frost Kingdom is somewhat delicate, it is still an organization that can open branches in multiple cities. Its foundation is really not to be underestimated.

He is so rich!
For the sake of two thousand gold shuangs, it seems that she will have to show her real ability!
She has already thought about the content of the painting!

Just draw a front view of the Painters Association headquarters building, and then add some small animals, such as a cat girl, a few bird girls, etc.
There is a bit of flattery in the painting of the association building, but... humph, don't underestimate her awareness of 2000 gold frost!

As for cat girls and bird girls, part of it is her hobby, and part of it is to let the people of this world think for themselves. Drawing cats and birds as humans may have some deep meaning in it, and she probably wants to guide them in this direction.

Anyway, her painting skills are good enough, and when the time comes, she can add some lighting that looks profound, and there will be great scholars who will help her explain it.

But even if no one can see it, it doesn’t matter. She just needs to pretend that others are ignorant and she is very disappointed.

Even just based on the quality of this painting alone, it is enough to advance.

Once you decide what to paint, the rest is easy.

Yun Mu picked up the paintbrush and started painting on the drawing board. Within two hours, the association's headquarters bathed in the morning sun appeared on the paper.

On the balcony of the association's headquarters, a lazy cat was lying quietly in the sun, and two little birds with yellow wings were squatting on the roof.

Of course, the two little birds were also feminized.

Done~
Yun Mu nodded with satisfaction.

She injected a lot of spirituality into this painting and successfully completed the practice task of drawing a spiritual painting every day.

In other words, the painting in front of you is already a spiritual painting that can be used to cast spells.

Paintings imbued with spirituality also seem to have a mysterious feel.

This is certainly not cheating, but rather an unspoken rule of the painting competition, indicating that the person who drew this work is an extraordinary person.

After the person in charge of reviewing realizes that the drawings are not too bad, the candidates will be able to advance.

Stia told her about this, and the other party also injected a lot of spirituality into the painting after it was completed.

"Stia, what did you draw?" Yun Mu asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just some tricky works." Stia said, placing the drawing board in front of Yun Mu.

What comes into view is a leaf with a small round hole in the middle of the leaf.

Outside the small hole is naturally the city view of Yerga. It sounds ordinary, but Stia's painting is very interesting. The line of sight passing through the leaves seems to extend like a distorted mirror, as if the leaves do not block any vision at all.

Coupled with the spirituality infused into the painting, an average person might feel dizzy if they stare at it for too long.

"Isn't this a great painting?" Yun Mu couldn't help but admire it: "It feels much better than what I drew."

She wasn't just bragging, she really felt that Stia's painting was far more creative than her own.

After all, she just wanted to curry favor with the Painters Association, so she chose to paint the association's headquarters, and the anthropomorphic cats and birds were just her XP and hobbies.

But Stia obviously doesn't think so.

"How could that be? Miss Yunmu's paintings are obviously much more interesting than mine! I'm just taking shortcuts," she said.

She had seen Yun Mu's unfinished work before. Not to mention his painting techniques, after all, Yun Mu was a fourth-order master-level transcendent, so it was normal for him to be better than her in terms of techniques.

What really amazed Stia was the creative lighting and the bold idea of ​​painting animals as if they were humans!
Yes, those small animals living in Yerga are also part of this city and should be cared for like humans!

Uh. Although I don't know what Stia is thinking in her heart, but seeing that she looks intoxicated, there should be no problem.

Yun Mu calculated the time and felt that it was about time, so he said, "Let's go to the Artists Association and hand in the drawings."

"Then let's go have lunch together!"

After the drawings are submitted, there is still one day for review, and the second stage of the competition can begin tomorrow at noon.

Yun Mu felt that both she and Stia would be able to advance without any accidents.

As for the rest, it’s hard to say. After all, it’s a national competition, and she doesn’t dare to say that she will definitely get first place.

All I can say is work hard for the sake of two thousand gold creams!
Everyone came down from the mountain and rushed to the Painters Association, handing the finished works to the female waitress at the front desk.

"We have received the paintings. You can come back tomorrow at 1 pm. The second qualifying match will be held then."

"I understand." Yun Mu nodded and looked at Stia beside him: "Is it done?"

"Well, it's done." Stia responded.

The two left the Painters' Association and reunited with Maine and Sabelle outside.

Then, after enjoying lunch outside, the people who had nothing to do returned to the Limestone Hotel to rest and wait patiently until the next day.

By the way, some things happened during this period that Yun Mu didn't know about.

"Ugh!"

"Damn it, Snake Python Garcia, why are you stopping us!"

His companions fell one after another. The man looked at the figure slowly approaching from a distance and couldn't help swallowing.

"Because you are too much of a nuisance." Garcia looked at the man with cold eyes.

They are just a bunch of trash who haven’t even won the championship, yet they dare to come to her, Lady Yunmu?
What a life-or-death thing!
"Damn it, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're lucky enough to be favored by God!"

The person in charge of the Plague Church in this city, a fourth-order master-level man roared.

He spewed out a large amount of poisonous smoke from his mouth and controlled the corpses of his men to explode.

Every member of the Plague Church is a completely unknown pathogen. If all these corpses were to explode, the mixed viruses plus the smoke she created would make it impossible for even a champion-level transcendent to escape unscathed!

Of course, the man’s goal was not to defeat Garcia. After all, he was very clear about the opponent’s strength.

As long as I can buy a little more time, that's fine.
"Where do you want to escape to?"

Garcia appeared beside him at some point, his arm transformed into a poisonous snake and instantly wrapped around the man's neck.

"How, how is this possible?" The man said in disbelief as he felt the suffocation on his neck.

"Nothing is impossible. It's just that your vision is too narrow. It's not even one ten-thousandth of that adult's."

"Forget it, why am I telling you all this?" Garcia shook his head, and under the other's desperate gaze, he completely strangled the man's neck.
