****(POV)
"*Sigh* I feel old, you know"
"Please! If a young man like you is feeling old, how am I supposed to feel? Dead?!"
The old noodle seller isn't wrong haha. It's just there have been so many changes here in the last two years. I was just drawing in the ruins of Eaglevein when I t a weird man. A very weird one that was accompanied by his wife.
My first reaction when I saw them was to ask myself if they were crazy to venture there. But then I rembered that I myself was in the process of painting a deadly bone dragon that wanted nothing more than to tear apart. Still, it couldn't as it had to protect its master.
The man asked if he could live nearby. I honestly answered that asking was pointless, well sothing similar. I think the guy was just looking for an excuse to do it, asking was rhetorical.
He then proceeded to invite to his place, with drinks, food, and shelter included. At first, I thought he was trying to have draw specific things, on the contrary. I had full reign over whatever I was creating. He didn't need anything specific.
How lucky am I to have stumbled upon such a big art lover?!
At first, I thought there was so kind of misunderstanding between us. The man was way too respectful! Well, it's nice from ti to ti but still. I have repeated that I am but a simple artist enough tis by now that my throat is getting dry hahawell not really since drinks are included haha.
By now I am truly convinced the man doesn't expect anything from . He simply has a great appreciation for art.
Recently, I've seen the city turn from a bigger town to almost a tropolis. One where countless beings roam the streets. There is still a poverty issue for sure since most people that co here do so in search of a safe Heaven.
All are poor ghosts lured in by the sweet promises of a mad man. Oh, don't get wrong this city lord is actually great. He's mad because no one manages to understand the entirety of his vision, but he clearly knows where he is going.
As I'm slurping my noodles while drawing, I'm always drawing haha, I notice soone. He is a new rchant that is on the rise lately, or so I heard. I don't pay attention to that kind of stuff but I tend to hear about it from rumors. Well, not all rumors are accurate, I should know I've heard a few crazy ones about .
I greet him and ask him his opinion on why there have been so many people here recently.
"Well, Sir, it's all because we need many n to confront the surroundings sects. Scattered the people are vulnerable but united they are unbeatable!"
"Oh? Then how would you describe how it's going as a rchant?"
"Honestly? A huge ss, but not as huge as it would normally be."
"Hehe, thanks to people like you, am I right?"
He gives a bashful smile.
"Thank you for noticing, Sir."
Now, I know for a fact this guy in front of barely cares about art. I think he respects just because of the city Lord. Not that it matters to . Everyone can have their own set of values, who am I to judge haha?
That is when appears another guy vital to the city, the commander. This guy has an interesting backstory. He used to be nothing more than a gangster in the city, BBC sothing. What it stands for I have no damn clue.
Anyway, apparently, he changed over a new leaf after he had a close encounter with death. I'm not exactly sure what happened as he never gives much detail, but he almost got killed for pissing so amazing guy off.
Then he saw an opportunity to get an official position and he didn't let it slip. If I had to describe the man I'd say he is plain. He isn't powerful, he isn't smart, he isn't even hardworking! Is he incompetent? Not at all, that's the weird part.
He's great at delegating stuff to whoever is best suited to it. He always does his job, but he's lazy enough that he'll find the easiest way to finish it. Well, that's a type of intelligence, I guess.
"Hello, Sir!"
Another one that treats super politely. He sits beside .
"Sir, what do you think of our current maneuver against the Bright Sun sect's territory?"
He shows so sort of tactical formation. I've never understood these guys. First, this is a public place, wouldn't there be spies here?! Second, why is he showing this in the first place?! I do not understand, care nor have any affinity towards tactics.
For now, I'll just tell him that I don't know and.sothing is bugging there. I shouldn't have, but I glanced at the scroll he is showing . This formation seedskewed?
Once again I have no clue what any of it ans, it simply looks bad from an artistic standpoint. If I remain with this image in my mind it will screw with my work. I'll keep thinking of that ssed-up imagery!
It's fine I have a way to fix this easily. I get myself a blank canvas and I start drawing on it. I reproduce the sa thing, but with a few changes. Great, now it looks more way more elegant than before. I'll be able to just focus on drawing my surroundings once more.
"S-sir! C-can I take this?!"
The formation I just drew? It's obviously worthlesswhy does he want to have it? Ah, I think I know. As much as the artist in couldn't stand this ssed-up picture of his, the strategist in him probably can't stand my amateur's work. After all, I simply care about the esthetics.
"Sure, take it. You can burn it if you want to. Just do so out of my sight, thank you."
"S-sir I would never! This is clearly very precious! Thank you, Sir!"
Kiss-ass haha. Oh well, I'll simply keep drawing.
That's when I hear a *CLANG!*
Out of theis that the sewers?! Out of it cosan unidentified humanoid?!
"MUAHAHAHAHA This KIM is back!"
It seems to be a young lady's voice. One wouldn't guess looking at the appearance. She is wearing a mask and
"Oh, right! You guys should probably run! The slis are coming!!! Muahahaha!"
What?! Slis?!
Guess I'm drawing slis today
Maybe I should move back a bit. For so reason the way she said it makes believe I should...
