Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 111: Lowry Passes Another Level

Lori watched Chesca walk away, dragging Taylor's arm, and suddenly realized why she had said such a stupid thing.

It was to prevent him from being dissatisfied with the child because of Taylor's recent little thoughts.

Lori shook his head and smiled.

How could he possibly get angry over a child's sudden impulse?

Besides, he already knew that Taylor was the one with the deepest affection for his parents among the four siblings.

At that time, he probably just thought that he didn't know much anyway, and at most he could cause some trouble for Pat, but it would not affect the life or death of Pat's mother in the past.

I just thought it was too simple.

Once the human brain is not used, it will really degenerate.

After playing dumb for so long, Taylor's brain became obviously too linear and prone to short circuits.

Lowry wouldn't doubt Taylor's loyalty because of such a small matter.

Besides, the child is only 16 years old, and his living environment is too simple. The love of his sister is enough for him.

He weighed the pen in his hand, because when talking about the Dark Moon, Lori suddenly remembered some of their magic related to the moon, which inspired him to break some inspiration that could break his recent misunderstanding.

During this period, in order to eliminate some external hidden dangers in his artifact space, Lori has been studying magic wonder paint...the same kind used by the God of Knowledge to paint the Scroll Mountain.

But, it keeps failing.

The use of this kind of paint is that when you draw the pattern with your heart, it will jump out from the tip of the brush and form the object or terrain you want...it will become something real.

Of course, there are limitations. It is absolutely impossible to turn stone into gold or build a golden house in a book.

Moreover, I don’t know if it’s a restriction of the rules, so only a specific matching set... four cans of paint and a pen... can the final product be created.

In fact, Lowry was already familiar with the production method and would not make any mistakes when making it, especially the pen, which he made perfectly.

But his biggest problem was that he always felt that the color matching of the paint should be more realistic.

At the most critical point of production, Lowry would always inexplicably think of the principles of painting... That is, when making the work, he would set the four cans of paint to be the three primary colors plus black.

However, according to the normal rules of the fantasy world, the pigment should be colorless.

It will just turn into the color that the object should have according to what you think in your mind when it comes onto paper.

If you want to draw a gate, it will automatically become whatever color you want it to be, without requiring you to mix a color using the three primary colors.

Naturally, people with unstable thoughts would have to work hard to draw something serious... But this definitely has nothing to do with Lowry, he still has no problem in this aspect.

He has a keen eye for color.

But precisely because of this sensitivity, Lowry just can't get over this hurdle.

Even if it was an illusion card, wasn't he drawing it stroke by stroke using special paints based on reality?
The reason why it is so vivid is that he created it bit by bit.

Although he didn't learn it very well, Lowry was still able to use five colors to create a new color with a strong contrast between light and dark and a bright enough color tendency.

It was really difficult for Lowry, who had always been proud of his excellent color mixing skills, no worse than those of the top students, to suddenly accept that a certain white transparent paint could directly turn into all the colors in his mind.

It was then that Lowry realized that he didn't really think magic was omnipotent, at least not in his profession.

He has never believed that everything in the world is determined by some laws, or that various elements can be directly formed by connecting them with magical energy... Even though he has been studying well, the aura of materialism still seems to affect him.

Even if he was studying painting, his thoughts should have been more idealistic.

However, if he could really make his heart soar and his mind fly, how could he always be said to be too mechanical and find it difficult to make any progress in the art world?

Even if his technique is very skilled and excellent... no matter how detailed his lines are, even if the long and short lines that are repeatedly intertwined and overlapped can be used as examples, it is still useless.

It is even not as high as the evaluation received by some people who are born romantics and have never seriously studied painting.

Lowry was unconvinced at first, until he saw a painting by a so-called amateur.

Although it is just an irregular stone, a sea, or even a few flowers, the emotions that come to you are so full.

Every drop of water seems to be filled with the author's tears and sadness.

As for Lowry himself, all he drew was a drop of water that looked crystal clear but was devoid of any emotion.

You can't even tell what lines are used in their paintings. In fact, they are just painted with large and small brushes to imitate reality... but they are just good.

If a painter cannot put his emotions into his brush, then he can forget about becoming an artist.

As for Lowry, whether by nature or through upbringing, he developed a character that hides his feelings and perceptions, tries to blend into the air, and reduces his presence. He has long since forgotten what nature is.

It’s too difficult to change.

Since then, Lowry completely gave up his dream of becoming an artist and began to think about his future. Then he plunged into the road of woodcut painting, which has a bad reputation but can make money.

Although what he did was a bit embarrassing for a student from an orthodox oil painting department in the early days, in the end, compared to those classmates who had been pursuing their dreams, Lowry at least supported himself well.

In fact, Lowry also knew that if an oil painter with good techniques like him really immersed himself in the art path for decades, lived a free and easy life that an artist should have, and did not consider the pressure of survival, it was entirely possible that he would suddenly become enlightened and finally form a unique set of artistic texture.

There are countless such examples in the history of oil painting.

But the books that record these painters will not say that the reason these painters can survive to this day is because of their families that can support them to waste their time.

After all, painters, whether in the East or the West, were originally the domain of the aristocracy.

If it were a grassroots painter...becoming famous as early as possible is the only way for those who want to learn art without any support.

Although some famous painters are poor, they were actually able to make a living by selling paintings.

This alone is enough to discourage those who lack talent.

Especially in modern times when the price of buying their paintings is almost the same as that of reproductions of famous paintings.

Therefore, the rational and cold-hearted Lowry will inevitably choose the realistic life in the end.

He never regretted it, even when he saw on the Internet that his former classmate had become a famous painter and one of his paintings could be sold for 40 M gold.

At least he has survived in this highly competitive society with his own hands. What's wrong with that?
Being such a person, Lori certainly also thought about which type of spells he would struggle in learning... Prophecy and transformation spells have always been his biggest enemies. After all, he has always been so realistic.

But Lowry really didn't expect that the first hurdle that blocked his way would be the production of paint.

This should have been his strong point.

Then Lowry realized belatedly...it turned out that he really loved painting.

Even though he had been a painter for so many years in his previous life, he had never realized this.

As a result, after living in the New World for sixteen years, and after he thought he had forgotten his days of painting, he suddenly realized it.

Lori leaned against the comfortable and spacious sofa chair, looking at the specks of sunlight shining through the shade of trees and flowers outside and spreading on the ground, but what he was thinking about was the watery moonlight.

Even he has his own romance in his heart.

The moonlight is like water. Although it is usually white, on certain nights with coincidences, it can also be dressed in colorful clothes.

At this time, we look at each other and not hear each other, and I am willing to follow the monarch every month.

These were the words that Lowry, who left home at a young age and never looked back, used to comfort himself under the moonlight during the days when he was tired at his desk.

Although he was pretending to be someone else and said it to himself, it made him feel that he was not really alone.

Therefore, he has always had a sense of identification with the moonlight and has collected countless beautiful scenes of the moonlight.

Then, at that moment, he broke through the shackles in his heart... If this pigment is connected to the way the moonlight is formed, then there will be absolutely no problem!

Lori stood up suddenly, pushed open the door to his laboratory, locked it with a wave of his hand, and then rushed into the pile of... huh? Where were the materials he had piled on the ground?

Lori blinked and raised his head as if he had realized something:
When did his broom come into the lab?

Ever since Lowry upgraded this flying broom to a level that is full of energy and vitality, and even added sensing runes, it has indeed become much more useful.

It was comfortable to sit on and no slower than a horse when flying, so Lori had to fly with the broom in his hand.

Unless he needs to travel quickly, this broom is enough for him to patrol the territory in a few hours.

After the Montes Castle incident, Lowry's image as a noble lord riding a broomstick has been thoroughly established.

The common people at the bottom who don't know much about the various professions and only know the Lord Knight would even respectfully call him "Lord Broom Knight" when chatting.

Fortunately, they weren't stupid enough to say that in front of Lori.

After all, Lori is still Baron Gezar, and they must address him by his title.

So, Lowry just let them do what they wanted. Could he really get angry with civilians over such a small matter?
His Majesty the King has been called so many bad names, but he just pretends to know nothing.

Lowry can do it, too.

But what he was most dissatisfied with was why this flying broom would automatically regard its function as a broom instead of flying?
It should just stay on the cabinet, but why does it have to find dirty places to tidy up and clean!
　Nolzur's Marvelous Pigments
　　Wonderful, extremely rare
　　This paint usually comes in a set of 4 cans and a brush in a beautiful wooden box (total weight is 1 pound). It can turn what you draw on a two-dimensional plane into a three-dimensional entity.

　　Each can of paint can cover an area of 1000 square feet, creating up to 10000 cubic feet of inanimate objects or terrain features (such as a door, a pit, flowers, trees, small rooms, large rooms, or weapons). Painting 100 square feet takes 10 minutes.

　　Once you draw an object or terrain, it will become a real, non-magical object. So a door drawn on a wall can be opened and walked through normally, and a pit drawn on the ground will become a real pit, and its interior area will be counted towards the total volume of the object you created.

　　Pigments cannot create anything more valuable than 25 gold pieces. If you try to create something more valuable (such as diamonds or gold nuggets), the resulting object merely looks real, but upon closer inspection it is revealed to be made of paste, bone, or other worthless materials.

　　If you draw some form of energy (such as fire or lightning), the energy will dissipate the moment you finish drawing it, causing no harm.

　　Moonlight is diffracted by ice crystals or water droplets of uniform size in transparent thin clouds. It is an atmospheric optical phenomenon. The inside is blue-green and the outside is reddish-brown. If you are lucky, you can even see a variety of colors.
