Carpenter thought for a few minutes before she figured out what Russell was talking about, and then she felt even more how confused Gilbert's mood was.
Their teacher was always very considerate in his work and would rarely change the aircraft settings without giving instructions.
"Why?" She couldn't help but muttered,
"Go to the Tower of Siya..."
"We are Heinelson, Carpenter." Russell, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly spoke quietly,
"Although we have never experienced how tragic the past was,... the Heinalson of the past was the Nicholson of the Defense Tower. We faced the kind of strong man who could kill us all with his backhand. It’s true that we can’t do anything about it, but at least we don’t have to express our own strengths. Ha~ Especially those related to art. Carpenter, the ones you see in the black town have no artistic vision at all...only pursue color and texture The nobles who are so special and don’t care about matching or color differences are not special cases due to the decadence of the Black Mystery Tower. In this world, most nobles and mages have given up on beauty over a long period of time. We have even lost our pursuit of inheritance. The reason why our Heinalson family is the exception is because, during those gloomy times, the Defense Tower was the only magic tower that insisted on painting the flowers in its heart. . They have their own persistence, so... and because of this persistence, they chose to face the fate of death. After that, art no longer existed in people's lives... Because of the choice of defense tower, most people felt , too much sensibility, especially sensibility that overwhelms rationality, can make people impulsive. However, although our Heinalson family has been trying to make the family more rational,... you see, they can't even give up giving birth to young children. Children, take an art analysis class. They will tell us that although the flower is extinct, how beautiful it once was. Even though the painting has amazed us, it is still not as beautiful as the original. One in 10,000. They will listen to a piece of music for us, and then lament that they can no longer hear the flavor of the past... That is a song that only those with dreams in their hearts can play. Children born in Heinalson always They will make some choices that will surprise everyone, which is inseparable from what we have been exposed to since childhood. Carpenter, when we chat, including Felice, what will usually come to mind if we mention a bouquet of roses? ?”
"Roses? Red roses or white roses?" Carpenter asked subconsciously,
"Besides, it has to match...ah...I seem to understand a little bit what you mean."
"You don't understand." Russell stood up.
"Are you thinking that people outside can't understand that red roses are so gorgeous, why do they need to be paired with some tiny branches?" Looking at Carpenter who nodded silently, Russell sneered.
"But, Carpenter, even in the Tower of Black Mystery, most people don't know what a rose is. I checked, and there are no roses in the magic garden of the Tower of Black Mystery...for some reason. , the magic garden here pays more attention to practicality. Even if it is a flowering plant, the fruit it bears must be very useful... you know? It can make people eat more comfortably. Therefore, many middle- and high-level people have never been out to visit. If mages who have been to other magic towers don’t like to look at some of the past albums, they don’t even know that there once was a beautiful flower called a rose in the world. Let alone what color it is. How could they do something that didn’t exist? Think about it? How can we discuss it? "
"The Great Library, doesn't it have such art albums?" Carpenter was a little confused.
"I remember that you held it and admired it for a long time!" For Russell, after the meditation, looking at similar picture albums for a while is a good rest.
Russell sat gently on the sofa and shook his head slightly: "That's because Mr. Gilbert likes to read, so he copied them from the big library. But I was sorting out the books a few days ago, and by the way, I talked to the big library. When we checked the catalog in the library, we discovered that for hundreds of years, Mr. Gilbert was the only one who made copies. After him, there were no records of copies." Carpenter didn't understand at all: "Such a beautiful album. , how come no one is watching?”
"Because they never knew that there was such beauty in the world... In other words, they didn't want to see what they had before, they just wanted to know what they could get in the future. Life is already very hard, hard and tiring, People are numb and can only find pleasure in what they know. You see, the reason why we are interested in these is because we have known it since we were children." Although he said it a bit convoluted, he grew up with Russell Of course Carpenter understands.
She tilted her head and thought for a while: "Although what you said is very touching, and indeed well-founded, and even why Felice made such a choice, it makes some sense. But, I always feel that you are not so emotional. People. Ah... So, it is our teacher who is emotional, right? Then, if someone asks why our teacher hides in the room and does not come out, just answer like this? For the sake of him who will never see him, but Roses that I always miss? Our teacher, choose to be alone... um... nostalgic?" Russell pursed his lips slightly, barely controlling the smile that was about to rise: "Hmm... that's okay. , lest people think that it is our Heinelson family who is still brooding about the past." Carpenter frowned: But saying so, doesn't it prove that their teacher is dissatisfied with the Tower of Theia?
Strange... What on earth are Russell and the teacher doing? However, with this kind of performance, does Teacher Gilbert want to naturally calm down and not interact with the people over there after entering the Tower of Thea?
Carpenter was a little confused, but she didn't intend to continue asking. Since Russell dared to say this publicly, Teacher Gilbert didn't come out to express his objection... Russell was not the kind of person who would make his own decisions. , which proves that this is the teacher’s intention.
Then she just had to do it. Then Carpenter reacted belatedly... They are not in the side tower now, and the isolation circle has not been turned on. Everyone who should hear, or wants to hear, the conversation between them should have heard it. .
Really, it seems that there will be a period of unsettled life. She has just found her true self again. Is she going to start acting out her life again?
It's quite suitable. She can slowly accumulate various characters for herself. Only by learning to act out all kinds of situations in the world without being completely involved in the drama can she control the illusion instead of becoming the so-called master of the illusion.
What she had just realized...maybe she would change her current thoughts in the future, but at this young stage, Carpenter felt that it would be best for her to adopt an attitude of being in it and not in it. Decorate your own fantasy.
Of course, before that, she had to work hard to learn painting techniques and the combination of various colors.
Looking around the hall, Carpenter waved his hand: "Stand up, my sofa is not finished yet! I just put a sofa cover on it."
"The light purple cotton is already very beautiful!" Russell was a little confused.
"But I only saw two bundles of cotton cloth in the warehouse!" Carpenter said calmly,
"It's just enough for me to make a whole-house set. So, I can't just sit there."
"What's the meaning?"
"So, I'm going to add some gray linen backrests and cushions. This way, I can prevent the sofa cover from being accidentally damaged. Also, with such a bright color, I have to avoid washing it too often!" Serge watched Carpenter put a blanket on the sofa, and he was really confused this time: "Then why don't you just use a gray cloth cover? Then you can change it every day, right?"
"Are you kidding! The purple color is so beautiful, how could I not use it?" Carpenter clicked his tongue.
"Really, can't you even tell which one is good-looking? Then stop saying that you study better than me."
"But... doesn't this block everything?"
"What are you talking about? Look how delicate the gray contrasts with the pale purple!" Carpenter nodded with satisfaction.
Russell was a little confused... Between the two of them, the one with the better artistic talent seemed to be him, right?
Carpenter, is this pursuing looming beauty? But why couldn't he feel it at all? Would this look better than the dull purple suit just now?
Although Russell had begun to realize very early that his sister was not different from him but a cute and well-behaved creature, this was the first time that he could not understand what Carpenter was thinking.
With Carpenter working from one idea to the next, and a small design to the next, the day for their departure grew closer.
Russell really didn't expect that Ulrich never came over... He clearly knew that after Gilbert left this time, they wouldn't see each other for a long time.
Therefore, he did not resist the urge to knock on Gilbert's door.
"Are you asking Ulrich?" Hilbert tilted his head and glanced at him, and quickly figured out what the child was worried about.
"He just knows what to do."
