Chapter 339: Liya Nan's blessing

"Sadness?"
Joan didn't understand what Li Yanan meant.
"For example, from my young friends, taking the vitality and using those who died young as sacrifices, so that I can live longer and stay young forever."
Liya Nan sighed.
"Are you... really kidding?"
Joanne was unwilling to believe, and she couldn't bear to believe that she was a confession of remorse.
"I'm serious, in fact I'm sorry, but I never regret what I did, because I haven't cheated anyone, and I have stated the price of the other party before giving the blessing."
Li Yanan raised his head and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and then continued to speak for a long time.
"If you want to come, you also know that most of our elves have a passion for art. The art in our eyes includes not only unique creative works such as literature, music, painting and sculpture, but also the skills of using magic. But as a noble elf, I was born With the magic power to enhance the talents of artists, and the education I have received since I was young, I have formed a concept that I think is lofty-I am the protector of art and artists.
"To date, I have lived for more than three centuries. During this long career, I have been carrying out my mission. Except for the occasional seclusion in the jungle, I travel most of the time."
"I have traveled almost all over the world of Valais and in countless cities and villages. Everywhere I always look for famous local artists and appreciate each other's proud works. If I feel the brilliance of genius, I will try to persuade each other to I signed a contract to use my talents to enhance each other’s artistic talents, so that they can create more beautiful poems, more beautiful music, more touching scrolls, and even more powerful casting ability."
"So what is the price?"
Joanne couldn't help asking.
"Yes, everything has a price."
Li Yanan sighed softly.
"If the other party accepts my blessing, I must agree that I can extract part of their vitality at any time... When they are still at the peak of their artistic creation, even if they are thousands of miles away from them, they can feel their glittering soul and spirit through that contract. Passionate creativity, at this time, I just want to appreciate their endless masterpieces, and can't bear to take their vitality."
"However, with the passage of time, when those once-talented artists have gained fame and wealth, intoxicated by the admiration and praise of the world, they gradually lost themselves, forgetting to devote themselves to the original intention of artistic creation, and their inspirations have dried up over time and become mediocre, The reluctantly produced works are also lack of sincerity, just repeating themselves...they themselves and the followers around them may not be aware of these sad changes, but they can’t hide me."
"I have a keen enough sensitivity to discern whether a person is actually creating or deceiving himself, and I never have mercy on those who have squandered their talents."
"If I understand correctly, you will always execute the contract that was signed when an artist friend could not create a better work, and take his life?" Qiao An tentatively asked.
Li Yanan nodded and said lightly: "It may be cruel to do this, but instead of watching a once talented person gradually degenerate and vulgar, he will end up in the evening and ruin his reputation by himself, it is better to start at the beginning When I went downhill, I withdrew my blessings and saved them from wasting their lives."
"In this way, people will not realize that this great artist has exhausted his thoughts, only to sigh that they haven't had time to create more and better works and die early, leaving only the most glorious and brilliant A masterpiece is a good start and a good end."
Joan listened to her and felt shudder at first, then she couldn't help but agree.
There are many examples of short-lived geniuses in the world. While lamenting the demise of geniuses, people are not aware of the genius artists who are fleeting like meteors. If they live long enough, most of them will go downhill.
Li Yanan's blessings can enable an artist to explode all his creative talents in the best years of his life, and imprint his best in the world.
If a person is willing to accept this dangerous blessing, it shows that he loves art more than his own life, and the end of the genius is premature. For him, is it not what he wants.
From this perspective, Li Yanan's blessing is nothing more than an equivalent exchange, perhaps a bit cold, but not to mention evil, let alone curse.
"All that has been said to you has been made clear. Please allow me to make the request that was once rejected by you again... Joanne, my young mage friend, are you willing to accept my blessing?"
Joan thought for a few seconds, looked up to meet Li Yanan's eyes, and responded calmly: "Ms. Li Yanan, I am willing to accept your blessings."
"You'd better think about it carefully, especially the unfortunate consequences that may be brought to you after entering into the contract." Li Yanan exclaimed in a mixed mood.
"I've thought it through, and there is nothing to worry about." Joan's expression was calm and firm. "If one day in the future, I really lose the motivation to continue to study magic and stop on the path of seeking knowledge, even if you can't bear it. My life, I don’t want to live any longer."
"Young people always overestimate their love for a certain business, but in the face of the test of time, the flame of passion will eventually go out. How deep the love is, and how tired it is at the end."
"You mentioned'passion', and this seems to be the quality I lack." Qiao An sighed. "It seems to me that passion or love are extremely unreliable things that can really make people unswerving. The motivation to stick to a certain creation is not necessarily the ambition to become a famous family, or the ambition to change the world. It is more likely to come from the habit of hard work. Fortunately, I have cultivated this habit."
"'Diligent habit'? Let me testify how long you can keep this habit."
Lia Nan took a step closer to Joan, raised his right hand and pressed his forehead.
A warm energy was injected into Joan's body from her palm, like a stone thrown into the calm water surface, so that the magic net thread that was originally evenly and randomly distributed in his body violently turbulent, and finally condensed into six special configurations.
Joan knew that Lia Nan was blessing herself with mana.
This wonderful feeling reminded him of the magic devices he had refined.
Lia Nan's approach at this moment is like treating him Joan Vida as the material of a magic guide, using his own talent to enchant him, and finally turning him into a living humanoid magic guide!

P.S allows us to create a work, not the desire to become famous, but the diligent habit. --Marcel Proust, "Remembrance of the Dead Water"
