Chapter 140

After several months of hard work, Rosen looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Activating the painting's spirituality at this moment allows it to materialize the town of Ironwood and all its inhabitants in reality.

However, fake is fake. No matter how real a person is, they have no soul. No matter how real a building is, it is primarily spiritual with material as a secondary element.

Moreover, without exception, none of the living beings depicted in the painting have eyes.

Therefore, Rosen needs to incorporate all the resources required to create the spiritual realm into the painting.

He also needs to add the finishing touch, giving all life its final eyes.

First, there are spatial attribute spiritual crystals, and second, there are temporal attribute spiritual crystals.

Both of these are controlled resources, and only the kingdom's official authorities will grant limited purchasing rights to certain nobles.

Rosen is currently Sequence 7, and it will take him ten years to purchase enough for one Spirit Realm painting.

However, if you are willing to sell a painting from the Spirit Realm, you will gain ten times the purchase rights.

Therefore, this time, Rosen absolutely cannot allow himself to fail.

If we really fail, we'll have to find a solution on the black market.

The spiritual painting absorbed two kinds of spiritual essence, expanding the space within the painting by more than a hundred times, and time within the painting began to flow slightly, further enhancing the realism of the entire painting.

Rosen then began dismantling the entire Ironwood Town, and after the town was completely demolished, it was moved into the space within the painting.

He incorporated the power of gluttony into this painting when he was painting it earlier.

Therefore, the fictional buildings in the painting capture the real architecture of the Ironwood Town, and the two immediately begin to merge.

That wasn't enough; Rosen also began to incorporate the red iron refined from the ore extracted by the scavenging space into the painting.

Finally, he took out a large amount of ironwood that he had purchased in advance and incorporated it into the painting as well, depicting the thriving ironwood.

Everything came together through gluttony, and the picture before Rosen's eyes became more real.

Now, all that's missing is the finishing touch, and this painting will become a masterpiece of spiritual art.

Rosen multitasked, controlling his self-portrait clone to infuse all his spirituality into the painting before him.

His true spirit, at this moment, projected itself into the spirit world from the real-world town of Tiemu, quickly passing through the surface of the spirit world and entering its depths. Using each person in the painting before him as bait, he began to fish for traces of Tiemu town's history deep within the spirit world.

During this process, Rosen's spirituality began to be consumed rapidly.

If he continues to let his spirituality be depleted like this, he will soon be unable to hold on.

Once the spiritual connection is broken, it means the fishing line has snapped and the fishing attempt has failed.

Even if you spend months drawing the bait, it will be completely consumed by the spirit world once the fishing line breaks.

This is why only those at the Sequence 7 limit can create paintings of the Spirit Realm.

No matter how talented a painter is, if their spirituality is insufficient, there is nothing they can do.

However, Rosen's spirituality is 30 points, only three points away from the average painter's spirituality cap of 33 points.

He can borrow those three things from his pet.

This is the greatest benefit of cultivating both the painter and hunter sequences when creating paintings of the spirit realm.

Rosen first borrowed the spirituality of the Nightmare Slime, and then the divinity of the Gray Rat.

Still without success, he immediately transformed into the feathered serpent god, converting his spirituality into divinity, and then used the cultural divine authority of the feathered serpent god to enhance his divine perception. This time, he finally followed the clues and found the historical traces of the Ironwood Town.

If the depths of the spirit world are likened to a vast ocean, then the historical traces of the Ironwood Town are but a tiny drop of water.

This drop of water may exist independently, or it may be assimilated and contaminated by other historical traces.

Therefore, luck also plays a part in whether the finishing touch on the painting is successful.

Rosen's divinity captured the moment of that drop of water, communicating with the ancient tree of the spiritual artist sequence through his own spirituality.

At this moment, the ancient tree in the artist sequence, anchored by Rosen's divinity, instantly sent down a golden leaf into the depths of the spirit world, enveloping the drop of water and merging it into the extraordinary essence within Rosen's divine brush.

After Rosen's divinity returned to reality, he immediately took the magic brush and began to add the final eyes to every life in the painting.

The moment the last stroke was made, his extraordinary essence and the painting before him underwent a dramatic change.

First, the skill of "adding the finishing touch" was born from the extraordinary source essence.

[The finishing touch: It can transform spirituality into creative divine power, thereby capturing historical traces in the spirit world]

[Creative Power: 1 point]

This is another special skill without skill levels, and it is also one of the most important skills for a painter.

With this skill within his extraordinary source essence, he will no longer need to rely on the Artist Sequence Ancient Tree to capture historical traces.

The key here is to create divine power; painting a spiritual landscape increases one's creative divine power.

Painters expend creative power, enabling them to create something from nothing and transform a figure in a painting into a real person.

The entire process requires absolutely no effort to capture historical traces from the depths of the spirit world.

Moreover, after the creation power is consumed, as long as the corresponding spiritual painting is not destroyed, the consumed creation power will slowly recover. It can be said that mastering the creation power is equivalent to mastering a little bit of the creation power of Sequence 0 in advance.

The extent to which one possesses the power of creation directly determines the strength of a painter's rank.

Rosen eagerly looked at the painting before him; successfully obtaining the power of creation meant that the painting of the spiritual realm was a success.

【Ironwood Town: A Spiritual Painting】

[Level: Sequence 7]

[Area: Within a radius of thirty li]

Population: 1160

Specialties: Red ironwood, ironwood, and local people

【Characteristic: The Land Favored by the Feathered Serpent God】

In terms of sheer quality, this would be at the bottom among paintings in the Spirit Realm.

Only the first painting of the Spirit Realm by the artist will have the Sequence 7 level.

However, in terms of value, Rosen is certain that the vast majority of Sequence 6 paintings are not as good as this one.

Because for paintings of the same level, the more intelligent beings within them, the more difficult it is to paint.

Rosen was confident of success on his first attempt, entirely due to his trust in the divine authority of the feathered serpent god culture.

Unexpectedly, the land favored by Quetzalcoatl was born.

The Morning Star divine authority of Quetzalcoatl can grant this spiritual realm a higher reserve of red iron and a small sun. The Harvest divine authority can yield more ironwood and red iron. Finally, the Cultural divine authority can grant the life in the painting a stronger learning ability.

Rosen only learned that the people in the underground city were not normal humans after he obtained his great-uncle Baal's memories.

The humans depicted in the painter's dreamlike paintings are not actually recognized by the world government.

Those people he transformed from the spirit world using his extraordinary dwellings were not actually recognized by the world government.

The greatest value of these people is that they become subjects of the painter's divine realm.

The town of Ironwood has a population of 1160, and all their descendants will be subjects of his divine territory. Moreover, the World Government does not recognize the rights of these people, so it is not a problem to treat them as slaves.

This made Rosen realize that the people in Ironwood Town, as well as Kuroro and the others, were not truly human. Even if they seemed real, they were still a hair's breadth away from being true humans.

The only way to cross this line is with the help of the power of creation.

The enormous painting of the Ironwood Town Spirit Realm gradually shrank under Rosen's control.

He shrunk it to three feet in size and framed it in a white bone frame.

Rosen sent the painting to the Alchemy Castle in the Divine Realm and hung it in his bedroom.

Then a projection is generated and projected onto a blank stone tablet hanging at the foot of the mountain in the divine realm.

At this moment, through the projection of this painting, the 1160 people of the Ironwood Town in the painting can leave the painting and appear in the Divine Realm territory. The original citizens of the Divine Realm territory can also enter the Ironwood Town in the painting, which is equivalent to directly expanding the area of ​​the Divine Realm territory.

Rosen roughly estimated that there were 150 farmers in the town of Tiemu.

Then there were nine knights, and 1001 squires.

Farmers are responsible for planting ironwood, while knights and their squires are responsible for the security of the ironwood town.

The highest level is Sequence 7, and the lowest level is Sequence 9.

A full thousand Sequence 9 knight squires, a subordinate sequence originating from the knight sequence.

Don't underestimate a Sequence 9 unit; in a thousand-person charge, most Sequence 6 units are no match for it.

While the nine human sequences are powerful, they are all, in general, focused on individual combat strength.

In order to improve their strength, the extraordinary beings of the nine sequences must constantly take risks in various spiritual realms and dangerous places.

Only a very small number of talented individuals, whose potential has reached its limit and cannot progress further, choose to settle down and join the official systems of various countries.

While the nine major sequences are powerful, they have never trained the lowest-ranking troops.

Therefore, the subordinate professions such as Knight Squire were born. These professions are all ordinary people who change their job. After changing jobs, it is difficult to raise the sequence level to sequence 7 or above. Moreover, even if the sequence level is raised, the increase in lifespan is very slight.

The nine Sequence 7 units can live for three hundred years, while the Sequence 7 squires can only live for one hundred and fifty years.

Short lifespan and weak strength are disadvantages, but low resource consumption and rapid growth are advantages.

To prevent various countries from converting ordinary people into a large number of auxiliary professions, the World Government strictly limits the number of auxiliary professions such as knight squires. Even a duke can only train 10,000 knight squires.

Below the rank of Duke, no one was qualified to be a knight's squire.

Rosen was able to acquire a thousand knight followers ahead of time by using the Spirit Realm paintings, and after raising them to Sequence 7, few below the demigod level could rival him.

It took more than half a month for the Ironwood Town to successfully integrate into the Divine Realm and coexist harmoniously with other inhabitants.

Having died once, the memories of that time are still vivid in my mind.

Therefore, everyone in Tiemu Town cherishes and is extremely grateful for this opportunity to be reborn.

After all, whether they live well or not in the future depends entirely on the lord's will.

This time, he successfully mastered the three skills of a painter, and Rosen's spirituality also increased to 31 points because of painting the Ironwood Town.

Thanks to his divine inspiration, he was also able to transform two acquired skills into innate skills.

Without even thinking about it, Rosen converted the skills of talisman drawing and dragon painting into innate skills.

Both of these skills are special skills without levels. After being converted into innate skills, they can be further enhanced according to the sequence level.

Rosen has now figured out that the most suitable skills to be converted into innate skills are special skills that do not have skill levels.

This special skill cannot be leveled up, so it naturally possesses a unique and irreplaceable effect.

Therefore, the most suitable skill for transformation is actually the Mind Canvas, where one can gain more by improving the skill level.

Upon returning to the Adventurer's Kingdom, Rosen immediately visited Marquis Alonso.

Despite being a Sequence 5 nobleman, this person only possesses the Sequence 7 gourmet skill.
He was definitely born with good genes but poor aptitude, but that doesn't mean the Marquis of Alonso was a good-for-nothing.

On the contrary, Marquis Alonso is cunning and shrewd, and a master of investment.

He specifically invests in young nobles, then waits for them to grow up and reaps rich rewards.

The Heart Eater's heart was a resource he borrowed from Marquis Alonso.

Now that he has the ability to paint spiritual landscapes, it's natural for him to pay off his debts sooner and feel more at ease.

Marquis Alonso was surprised that Rosen had arrived so early. Although he knew from his friends that Rosen was a genius painter, he thought it would take at least a decade or more to recoup the investment.

Unexpectedly, only half a year has passed, and it seems that the most valuable part of this investment is actually the goodwill.

Two hours later, Rosen left with a spiritual crystal of space and time.

He had come to pay off a debt, but Marquis Alonso refused to accept it and instead presented him with such a generous gift.

This clearly indicates that he believes his future value in terms of personal relationships far exceeds that of a painting depicting a spiritual realm.

It must be said that the Marquis of Alonso has a very good eye for talent.

Having unexpectedly acquired a core material for a painting of a spiritual realm, Rosen thought for a moment and put it away.

Creating a painting of a spiritual realm is extremely taxing; each painting can shorten one's lifespan by a full six months.

A balance between work and rest is beneficial to physical and mental health, and he plans to take a good rest for a while.

His spiritual intensity surged continuously, which made his sequence ancient tree somewhat unstable.

His spiritual strength will definitely not be able to improve for at least six months.

With the help of Marquis Alonso, Rosen successfully integrated into the noble circles of the dungeon kingdom.

It must be said that being a noble is a high-risk profession, and there are quite a few lonely noble ladies in the Adventure Royal City who need comfort.

Rosen attends dances every night, working until late at night and so tired that his back aches and he has no time to rest.

It wasn't that he was indulging himself again, but rather that he truly realized the profound heritage of the old aristocracy through the Marquis of Alonso.

Although he attended various noble balls in the Blue Whale Royal City, he never actually integrated into the noble circles.

Because he was only Sequence 8 at the time, the nobles with a strong background were only superficially polite to him.

The nobles in the Adventure Kingdom knew that he had already painted the Spirit Realm painting, which is why they granted him the right to integrate into their circles.

Many precious treasures have always circulated only within aristocratic circles.

You can't buy truly rare and precious treasures in the kingdom's black market or official trading houses.

After two months of building connections, Rosen received an invitation that day.

Two days later, there will be a noble trade fair that can only be attended by those starting at Sequence 6.

To participate in this trade fair, you must prepare at least three items of rare value in advance.

After thinking it over carefully, Rosen realized that the only thing he could use for trading seemed to be the Ash Bees.

There's only one item; we still need to figure out a way to get the other two.

Farah, even a drop of fallen god's blood could be used as a bargaining chip.

One thing is still missing; it seems the only solution is to try and find it on Greed Island.
