In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

Anno's own works are generally bold and innovative in style, but apart from commissions from the Catholic Church, most of the commissions he receives are portraits, so Anno's portraits are also excellent.

By the time Anno got home, it was already dark, and Leonardo da Vinci had already gone home.

He moved a chair, sat on the rooftop, and quietly looked at the moon, lost in thought.

He was thinking about the clothing orders.

Now that he had accepted the order, Anno was not going to shy away from the challenge; he was even considering learning tailoring.

------------

I'm not sure if I'll be able to update today...

A typhoon is right above me... Ugh, so many things to do at the end of the month. I'm currently back home, without water and electricity, I really don't know if I'll be able to update today... Sorry...

------------

I'll start a separate chapter to explain the situation.

The typhoon has passed, and power has been restored. There will be an update tonight. Also, there's something else... I might have to go back on my promise and release it.

The release date has been finalized with my editor. To be honest, this release was a last resort, so feel free to criticize me; I accept it.

You can join the group to learn more about the specifics. Honestly, it's quite frustrating.

Chapter 173 New Discovery

The next morning, Harley personally delivered the gold and jewelry mentioned in the commission.

After all, it was a precious item, and I wouldn't feel comfortable giving it to a servant.

Anno opened the box Harley had sent. Inside, on a piece of ornate fabric, lay a gold chain and several gems.

But the most eye-catching are the two nearly spherical transparent diamonds.

Anno held the two diamonds in her hands, her eyes filled with amazement and admiration.

"This is really something." After thinking and observing carefully, Anno determined that the two spherical diamonds had been polished, but were almost completely free of impurities and were nearly pure transparent diamonds.

“What a rare find…” Anno said with a smile.

He had no desire for the diamond, so he casually put it back, closed the box, and carried it to his workbench.

He was commissioned to complete a necklace and two earrings.

So he picked up a pencil and began designing the piece of jewelry.

Anno used a ruler to measure the size of the two diamonds, both of which were about 3 centimeters in diameter.

"Where did you find such a pair of diamonds? It's really rare." Anno wanted to take out other gemstones, but the two diamonds rolled and met Anno's gaze.

In an instant, Anno felt that the things on the other side of the diamond had become incredibly huge.

“…” Anno remained silent, holding the two diamonds upright in his hand. He glanced at the distance but found that all he could see was a blur.

“That was…” Anno frowned.

He temporarily abandoned his orders and began fiddling with his new discovery made from the two spherical diamonds.

He kept adjusting the distance between the two diamonds, positioning them towards the table.

Finally, Anno found the right distance, and what the diamond revealed became clear.

The table inside the diamond presented a sight that astonished Anno.

Anno's wooden tables are actually like little rooms!

......

Anno incorporated his findings into his manuscript.

However, these two diamonds were not his; he still needed to fulfill orders and had to temporarily set aside his enthusiasm for the new discovery.

Anno put down her pencil; she had a lot of work to do today.

Da Vinci stretched and said, "Lawrence, you have a lot of orders." He was still in his learning phase and had quite a few tasks to complete.

Anno smiled and said, "It's just that I've been studying a lot."

Da Vinci wasn't very tall, only reaching Anno's shoulder: "That's great... My father recently found a new wife, sigh, my allowance is going to be reduced again."

“If you didn’t buy so many things to copy, you might have more money to spare,” Anno patted Leonardo da Vinci’s arm.

"I just want to speed up my learning process."

Is that so?

"Hmm." Leonardo da Vinci's eyes sparkled with delight. "I've wanted to learn to paint since I was a child. Now that I can enter the most famous studio in Florence, I naturally have to motivate myself."

"Well then, good luck, Leonardo." Anno also stood up and stretched. It was almost dark, and he was a little hungry, so he decided to go get something to eat.

Although the two address each other as brothers, their actual relationship is more like that of a student and a teacher.

Anno is calm and silent, and acts with maturity and elegance, possessing a temperament completely inconsistent with his 18 years of age. Da Vinci, on the other hand, has a strong thirst for knowledge that makes him appear very energetic, and he is always full of drive.

Chapter 174 Kredy's Jealousy

Kredie has been very irritable lately.

Lawrence and Leonardo were driving him crazy.

How awful! How awful!

Why do such dazzling talents even exist in this world?

He watched the two seemingly amicable individuals from the shadows, his teeth clenched in fury.

Kreddy is a talented man, that's beyond question.

However, his talent cannot compare with Lawrence and Leonardo, and he is even slightly inferior to the other three members of Verrocchio's studio, Creedy. His talent is not much beyond that of ordinary people.

Genius, genius.

Having been called that by those around him since childhood, Creedy felt utterly insignificant after joining Verrocchio's studio.

Verrocchio did not give up on Creedy, but Creedy, involuntarily, became tainted with a feeling called jealousy.

He was grateful to Verrocchio as his teacher, but felt somewhat disgusted with his other fellow students.

However, he still had some self-awareness and knew what he should and shouldn't do.

However, the arrival of Lawrence Anno Falgao and the qualifications he displayed completely threw Creedy off balance.

The magnificent, bold, and uniquely styled oil paintings, and the exquisite, precious, and beautiful jewelry.

Lawrence Anno's rise was incredibly rapid, making it impossible for Kreddy, despite being his senior, to forget him.

He eventually put aside his jealousy and began to respect Lawrence, because Lawrence was no longer Verrocchio's student, but his partner.

However, the arrival of new members at Verrocchio's studio completely shattered Creedy's mental state.

That uncanny learning speed, that incredibly focused expression on painting!

What the hell is this, you bastard!

The flames of jealousy finally caused him to lose his mind.

He decided to frame Leonardo da Vinci.

But now is not the time.

Kreddy looked at Leonardo, who was saying goodbye to Anno, with a horrified expression.

Once you become even slightly famous, you're doomed, Leonardo.

"Kreddy, haven't you gone back yet?" Anno had already come to the corridor and saw Kreddy standing by the door, which was a little strange.

Kreddy usually gets home very early.

"Ah, Lawrence, I have some things to take care of, so I stayed behind." Kreddy instantly changed his expression, greeting Anno with a hint of respect and friendliness.

Anno smiled and said, "Then let's go back early. It's getting dark, so be careful on the road."

After saying that, he walked past Kredy and went straight upstairs.

Kreddy watched Anno's figure disappear completely at the end of the stairs before shaking his head and sighing.

Anno is beyond reproach; his fame is too great, and he wouldn't dare to retaliate.

After packing his things, Creedy left Verrocchio's studio.

Verrocchio stood at the second-floor window, watching Creedy leave in a hurry, and sighed softly.

Kredie was his least promising student; although he was excellent, he didn't meet his standards.

Moreover, Creddy spends a lot of time on things outside of work and study, especially in matters of the heart; Creddy is very open about relationships.

"Teacher." There was a knock on the door, and Anno's voice came from outside.

"Please come in." Verrocchio sat back in his seat.

Anno pushed open the door and came in: "Teacher, I'd like to discuss with you the matter of the bronze statue..."

------------

Chapter 175 Travel, Europe

Anno and Verrocchio discussed the design of the bronze statue from before to after the meal.

Anno couldn't help but sigh, "Old ginger is spicier," and Verrocchio's rich experience gave him a lot of inspiration.

Verrocchio is 32 years old this year, but he is still constantly improving and exploring.

Time always flies. Anno is a patient person. For four months, he did not accept any other orders, but only completed the few orders he had on hand.

Incidentally, Anno did indeed go and learn tailoring. He found a well-known tailor shop in Florence and studied tailoring for more than a month. Then, he personally purchased the materials and commissioned the maid of the Orvis family to measure Miss Harley's size before making the dress.

Instead of adopting the traditional style of dividing the dress into two parts and then sewing them together in the middle, Anno created a completely one-piece dress herself.

The entire garment is dark red and can be worn directly. The back features a ribbon and multiple pleats, which makes the back of the skirt voluminous. The neckline of the upper body reveals half of the shoulder, and there is also an armband included with the garment.

In short, when Anno handed over the clothes and jewelry, even the usually calm and collected Miss Harley showed an expression of amazement and delight.

Neither major nor minor alterations were needed, and Harley was very satisfied with the dress.
