It has neither color nor form, like a star in the night sky, the ultimate one.

But, like a faint fragrance, it evokes a desire to embrace... or perhaps joy.

Unbelievable.

This piqued the interest of Leonardo da Vinci, who was able to discern a person's character at a glance. He never expected that at his advanced age, he would encounter someone so interesting.

To an all-knowing person, Favia and Raphael are somewhat similar, yet distinctly different and...something indescribably vastly different?

However, if Favia knew about Leonardo da Vinci's confusion, he could probably guess why da Vinci thought he was somewhat similar to Raphael.

Because Raphael was born on Good Friday and died on Good Friday...

Such a coincidence suggests that Raphael in the Type-Moon universe might be someone favored by a certain one and only god.

The night breeze swept across the hills beyond the Eternal City.

The wind blew through Leonardo da Vinci's black hair as it passed by.

Da Vinci touched the blank first page again, his face as calm as ever, but there was a strange hint of happiness on his face.

"I hope I can finish painting it successfully this time you come to Rome."

Although Leonardo da Vinci always had an image of Favia in his mind, he always felt that no matter how he drew it, he could never capture the same spirit. So he kept that page, thinking that one day he would be able to perfectly depict it.

So when Leonardo da Vinci learned that Pope Alexander VI was to have a theological debate with Martin Luther in Rome, he immediately informed Favia. Although Favia had not shown any related faith, Leonardo da Vinci thought he might be quite interested, since even he himself was interested in this debate that was about to attract the attention of all of Europe.

"...It's already morning."

Leonardo da Vinci spread his arms like the wings of an airplane, turned around on the hill, and muttered to himself.

The bustling city of Rome is bathed in a soft glow, magnificent and luxurious, yet it also seems lonely.

It's as if all of human civilization is laid bare within it.

A month later, Favia and Bavan Hi successfully arrived in Rome. At the same time, news that the Pope would have a theological debate with Martin in Rome spread throughout Europe, attracting countless people to come to Rome to witness this moment.

As a result, people from all over Western Europe flocked to Rome, gathering in all sorts of facilities, ready to witness the debate firsthand.

Above the Eternal City, the sky was ablaze with the colors of sunset. Upon entering the city, the first thing you see is a bustling market street lined with numerous shops, restaurants, and other consumer venues.

In this city with thousands of years of history, the various facilities that have been built with the progress of the times are even more dazzling and fascinating.

Favia and Bavan Hi did not go to Leonardo da Vinci's house immediately, but instead took a stroll around Rome first.

Looking up at the sky, the vast, blue expanse remains unchanged, still above Rome.

Although a thousand years have passed, it is still incredibly familiar.

"This place is so beautiful, there are so many things..."

Even Bavan Shi, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"Indeed, even I have the urge to buy it."

"It must be very expensive, right? Can I afford it with my wages?"

"Have you finished paying it off?"

"I don't know... Ah, I suddenly remembered, Favia, you never said how much I'd get in a month. When will I be able to pay it all off...?"

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you. I'll tell you when you've paid back most of it."

"Then, can I use a little overdraft first?"

"That's perfectly fine, but I need to remind you about your accommodation and meals..."

Upon hearing this, the fairy girl suddenly puffed out her cheeks, gazing at Favia beside her, a calm yet passionate emotion surging within her.

"No, I was forcibly brought to London by you, Favia, so it's only natural that you provide me with food and lodging."

"In that case, let's change the subject and discuss the losses you inflicted on the hunters in the English Highlands..."

"That was an accident, an accident!"

"Although it was an accident, the damage has indeed been done."

"Alright, alright, I'll return it to them."

"I've already paid you back, so just return it to me... We've arrived."

During their conversation, the two arrived at Leonardo da Vinci's residence in Rome.

As Bawan Shi followed the silver-haired boy into the room, a strange feeling arose spontaneously.

The fairy girl quickly understood the source of this strange feeling.

It is a barrier, and at the same time incorporates magic that affects the human mind without using magic power. Obviously, this kind of mystery was introduced into Leonardo da Vinci's house.

"What kind of person was this Leonardo da Vinci?"

"Although I am very famous as a painter, I am essentially a jack-of-all-trades. I can make props, build weapons, design cities, and build ships. As long as someone provides me with help, I will give them a certain amount of reward."

Favia did not hide anything from the questions raised by Bavan Shi, and spoke about his understanding of Leonardo da Vinci.

"However, Leonardo da Vinci was always contemplating the 'process of all things' and pursuing perfect beauty; of course, this is just my personal opinion—"

“That’s right, that’s right, Favia is right. I do pursue perfect beauty, but I actually achieved that goal quite early on. After all, I know what perfect beauty is. Without loving human beings, there can be no human growth…”

In an instant, ripples seemed to spread through the air. The sound that suddenly rang out, though somewhat weathered, was as melodious and clear as a harp.

"Haha, it's been a long time! I didn't expect you to bring a friend this time, Favia. Aren't you going to introduce them to me?"

After speaking to the two of them, Leonardo da Vinci, who slowly walked out of the room, seemed quite interested in the silver-haired boy's reaction.

"Hello! Leonardo da Vinci, I am Bavan Shi, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Before Favia could introduce Bavan Shi to Leonardo da Vinci, the fairy girl bowed and began to speak for herself.

"Hmm... I would also be very happy to meet you, Bawan Xi."

For Leonardo da Vinci, it was immediately clear that Bavan Shi was not human, but some other species.

But he didn't intend to ask any further questions. They weren't human, after all. He'd even seen Dead Apostles and other such creatures, so he could accept it.

"Long time no see, Leonardo da Vinci. Has your research yielded any results?"

Favia looked at Leonardo da Vinci, who was old but still very healthy, and casually asked.

"Yes, it's very troublesome, and I may never succeed in this lifetime."

"really?"

"How about you help me, Favia? Maybe then we can succeed."

"I'm afraid that won't work."

"Then it's impossible."

Leonardo da Vinci waved his hand, a look of distress on his face, while Favia smiled.

Bawan Xi, standing to the side, listened to the conversation she couldn't understand, completely bewildered.

In fact, the conversation between the two took place a few years earlier, when Leonardo da Vinci presented his ideas to Favia.

"Anything related to procreation is repulsive; a person without a beautiful face and aesthetic qualities will die young..."

This statement, which Leonardo da Vinci actually said, was later interpreted by Freud when analyzing artists, suggesting that da Vinci was a person with a cold personality.

However, when Leonardo da Vinci spoke to Favia, there was actually a second part:

"I've made up my mind. I want to create a child that is completely independent, with flesh and blood and a spirit, that belongs to me."

Back to the present, looking at the now unequivocally presented Leonardo da Vinci, Favia subconsciously recalled that he would appear in Chaldea as the 'Mona Lisa'... Oh no, the more I think about it, the more I can't help but laugh out loud.

To avoid bursting into laughter, Favia could only sigh, as if to say, "Even so, I still believe in you," before turning to Leonardo da Vinci and saying:

"Good luck. If that day ever comes, I will definitely come to see you."

209: The night is too short, go to sleep, Bawan Xi (4k5)

When the warm air blows in your face and your body warms up under the sun, it's easy to feel sleepy.

At this very moment, Bavan Shi, who was staying with Favia in Leonardo da Vinci's house, was in the same situation.

The red-haired fairy girl kept shaking her head, then was startled awake by her own behavior. She quickly raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Leonardo da Vinci, who was painting her, was not acting strangely.

Then, under the warm sunlight, the fairy girl's body slowly succumbed to sleep once more...

However, this cannot be blamed on Bavan Shi, after all, she had been like this for five hours.

Earlier today, Favia said she had to go out for a while. Although Bavanshi wanted to go with her, Favia refused. Later, when Leonardo da Vinci saw her looking a little dejected, he offered to paint a picture of Bavanshi.

The fairy girl happily agreed, and that's how it turned out.

"When will Favia come back...?"

Although he was supposed to remain completely still, thinking that moving slightly shouldn't be a problem, Bawan Shi rested his chin on the back of the chair and muttered in a wet voice.

"It should be soon. It's not too far from here to Hans's house and Russell's house."

Leonardo da Vinci held his pen and drew lines on the pure white paper of his already crumpled notebook, following the strokes of his pen to paint a picture of the fairy girl in front of him.

"Hans Russell?"

"Didn't you know? A while ago, Favia asked me to find someone to make a set of rather unique clothes and shoes. Come to think of it, I'm incredibly capable; this kind of thing would be no problem for me at all. But he said that since I'm getting old, I should probably rest more..."

Leonardo da Vinci stopped writing, smiled,

"Actually, the design drawings he gave me were quite rough, so I redesigned them and then had someone I know make them. He probably went out today to pick them up."

The Hans mentioned by Leonardo da Vinci was Hans Sachs, a 16th-century German folk poet, craftsman, singer, and shoemaker who was adept at developing medieval religious drama into satirical dramas reflecting the lives of ordinary people, and was also a supporter of Martin Luther's reforms.

It is worth noting that in 16th century Nuremberg, Germany, if a craftsman wanted to become the head of a trade, in addition to passing a technical test, he also valued singing ability. The famous singers who became heads of trades believed that their songs were produced on the basis of learning seven disciplines: grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. Only those with such a high level of education were qualified to become the head of any trade.

Their promotion order starts with the lowest-ranking "trainee," then "apprentice," "poet," and finally "master."

Later, Richard Wagner, who had composed "The Song of the Nibelungs," created "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg," a work featuring Hans Sachs as the protagonist.

As for Russell, he was Russell Filentino, an Italian painter and architect, as well as a craftsman involved in decorative arts and fashion design. Because of his red hair, he was known as Russell Florence, meaning "Red in Florence, Italy." He was a friend of Michelangelo and Raphael.

"Clothes and shoes...who is he going to give them to...?"

Bavan Shi muttered to himself, fiddling with his red hair.

"It's obviously a gift for you, Bawan Shi. After all, you're one of his people. Who else could he give it to but you?"

A warm breeze ruffled Leonardo da Vinci's black hair as he painted, and a smile appeared on the face of the omnipotent man, revealing a playful look in his eyes.

"Give it to me..."

Upon hearing this, the fairy girl, whose lips were pouting like a frog, blushed deeply and couldn't utter a word.

Then, after ten minutes, as the redness on her face, whether from blushing or the sun, gradually faded, she suddenly opened her mouth and shouted:

"You, Leonardo da Vinci, give me some leeway! When did I become his... human?!"

“Because, it’s very simple, isn’t it?” Leonardo da Vinci’s gentle expression was masked by his bright, dark eyes, and he answered matter-of-factly, “Anyone can see at a glance that Favia values ​​you, Bavan Shi, very, very much.”

"No, no... I didn't really mean it. I meant, it's not just for me..."

"But judging from your behavior just now, you seemed quite happy."

"I was just thinking about 'what the clothes and shoes would look like'...that's all, yeah, that's right."

"Hey, this feels really suspicious."

Leonardo da Vinci seemed to be grinning from ear to ear, which made Bavan Shi's face turn bright red again.

"R-really, it's not that, it's just a friend..."

"Okay, I'll take it that way."

Leonardo da Vinci responded to the fairy girl's explanation with a meaningful tone.

"That outfit would suit Bavanshi's style very well."

"Really, really?"

“That’s right, it’s like a dress made for you, it suits you perfectly, after all, you’re a beauty, Bawan Shi.”
