Adoration and Humility
Bella took off the pair of goggles, revealing a face with soft lines and beautiful eyes, unlike the more masculine female mechanical workers in Julian's stereotype.
"I heard that you just came back from an exchange study?" Bella asked curiously.
"Hmm." Julian is no longer interested in sharing this experience.
"What are you studying?" Bella pointed to the mechanical parts scattered on the floor of the factory with interest, "How about we communicate and try to assemble a Machine with the remaining Parts? A qualified Artisan must have its own judgment and sufficient creativity."
Julian instinctively wanted to refuse. He clearly knew that there was an irreparable gap between himself and the approachable Lady opposite him.
But at this time, his sister Jenna encouraged. "Go and try it, this will be your first piece of work when you return from school."
"It doesn't matter if there are flaws, Bella Lady will guide you and help you correct the problems."
Guidance...Julian was suddenly moved.
He first said a bunch of words that he was very ordinary and his skills could only be considered passable. Then he walked among the scattered Parts, observing and imagining.
When he picked up the pliers, Bella came over, nodded slightly and said, "There is a slight flaw in the posture of your hands."
She quickly pointed out the problem and corrected Julian's mistakes due to Past's Error habits.
During the subsequent assembly, Bella gave similar teachings from time to time, and her teachings either made Julian suddenly enlightened, or made him strangely discover that many things that he originally thought were difficult suddenly became easy.
While teaching, Bella's whole person seemed to radiate an indescribable light. She was no longer the girl next door just now. Every word she spoke gave Julian a feeling of absolute confidence.
People who are confident and have the ability to support this self-confidence are always full of Charm, making people admire them unconsciously.
Gradually, Julian looked at Bella like a student seeing the most respected Teacher, and his words and deeds began to have a hint of Imitation.
This is the truly top-notch Artisan!
Ordinary Person The top-notch Artisan that you can't usually come into contact with!
In this way, Julian completed its own assembly and made a Machine that can cut metal more accurately.
He couldn't believe that this was his own work. It was the kind that had to be purchased from Steam Church related Factory.
He looked at Bella with even more admiration.
Jenna sincerely praised the Machine for a while, then took Julian home to change clothes, and made an appointment with Bella at a Restaurant near Botanical Garden.
The three of them had a harmonious atmosphere and talked happily.
"Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom." Jenna stood up and put down the napkin.
After watching his sister disappear from the entrance to the corridor leading to the bathroom, Julian looked back and saw Bella picking up Red Wine, taking a sip, and said with a kind and condescending smile, "You do have a certain talent in the mechanical field."
"No, compared to you, this is not a talent." Julian responded with embarrassment and a bit of inferiority complex.
Bella put down the Red Wine cup and shook his head:
"I'm serious.
"Are you interested in being my Apprentice?"
"Apprentice?" Julian was stunned for a while.
Bella nodded lightly and said, "Yes, the ancient Apprentice, follow me to learn, grow with my help, and after you graduate, serve me for free for a period of time."
This... such a young top-level Artisan will also recruit Apprentice? Why would she value me? Julian was surprised, happy and confused:
"I-can I?"
"I said, you do have some talent." Bella, who looks like a girl next door, is quite dignified when talking about this matter.
"Can a Ordinary Person like me reach your level?" Julian asked anxiously.
"I can only say that there is great hope, but it depends on you." Bella said after considering, "If everything goes well, you will be close to my level within half a year, but you are still not there. After that, you will serve me for free for one and a half years."
Julian's mind was buzzing, and he felt like a pie falling from the sky was so big that it made him feel dizzy.
At this time, Jenna walked out of the aisle where the bathroom was.
Julian immediately lowered his voice:
"Can I think about it for a few days?"
It's not that he doesn't want this opportunity, but he has doubts about Bella Lady's true purpose:
How could such a good thing come to me in my turn?
Is this a new type of fraud, is Bella Lady related to those Islanders?
"Okay." Bella didn't rush.
After happily finishing dinner and returning to the Rented Apartment room at Rue Pasteur, Julian pretended to be unintentional and asked her sister:
"Celia, Bella Who is Lady, and why is he the top Artisan at such a young age?"
"She is indeed a powerful technical expert?" Jenna asked in surprise.
When Julian responded in the affirmative, she recalled saying, "Bella Lady often goes to Old Dovecage Theater to watch performances. She is a believer in 'God of Steam and Machinery'. She seems to have a deep relationship with Monks from Deep Valley Monastery's group. Her title as a technical expert should be certified by Steam Church. I can help you find out if it is true."
Hearing that Bella Lady is a believer of Orthodox God and has a close relationship with Monks of Steam Church Monastery, the doubts in Julian's heart gradually dissipated.
Such a person should not be a liar!
But we still need to find Clergy of Steam Church to confirm her identity...
Julian slowly became a little complacent again:
If I can learn the technology of Bella Lady, even if I am only 80% of her level, I can become the technical director of Trier and all the Factorys competing for Hiring, and I hope to open my own Factory in the future!
After chatting with my sister until almost early in the morning, Julian lay on the bed, tossing and turning, too excited to sleep.
What came to his mind was That One, a dedicated, serious, knowledgeable, and technically proficient Bella Lady who makes people look up to and admire them unconsciously.
South of the plant area, inside the newly built Factory.
Bella looked at Jenna dressed as Witch and walked out of the mirror, and said tremblingly, "Lady, I have already said what you asked."
In her mind, this is the Death God that brings destruction and Despair.
She watched helplessly as many of her companions died one after another, coughing blood all over the floor.
Jenna nodded expressionlessly and said, "He will agree to your proposal.
"In the next two years, you will be responsible for taking him to Susie and other big cities, guiding him to contact Mysticism knowledge, becoming 'Generalist', and helping him digest Potion until he is promoted to 'Appraiser'.
"I will ask Steam Church and Clergy in the corresponding area to help, and let Julian believe that your talented Gift is worthy of Trust.
"After two years, Julian, if there are no problems and the development is in line with expectations, you will regain your freedom. Well, there is a premise for this, that is, you Convert have married a certain Orthodox God and completed the corresponding prayer."
Without waiting for Bella to respond, Jenna took out a palm-sized Puppet from "Traveler's Bag", which seemed to be soaked in dark blood, and smiled. Said: "If you run away midway, or do something detrimental to Julian, I can easily find you with this. Don't worry, I won't kill you, I will only send you back to 'Future'."
After hearing the last half of the sentence, Bella's face suddenly changed to Paleness, as if he had recalled something he didn't want to remember again.
That's scarier than Nightmare!
She said hurriedly and humbly, "Lady, I will complete the task you gave me with all my heart!"
A week later, Franca and Jenna were renting the apartment Apartment that had not yet expired.
Julian sat across from the dining table.
He looked at his sister, hesitated and said, "Celia, I have something to discuss with you."
"What happened?" Jenna looked confused.
Julian considered and said, "Bella Lady wants me to be her Apprentice, the ancient kind of Apprentice."
"Is there such a good thing? If you can learn some real skills from her, you can also become a top technical expert in the future!" Jenna was pleasantly surprised for his brother, full of expectations.
"But, Bella Lady is going to be the technical director of a Factory founded by Steam Monastery in Susie city. If I become her Apprentice, I will have to stay there with Past for at least two years." Julian said embarrassedly.
"It's only been two years. You are still young. If you have real skills, you will have many opportunities to make money in Trier. Make a lot of money!" Jenna encouraged his brother.
"Then you..." Julian suddenly fell silent.
"I have to study drama for one more year, and then work as a supporting actor at Old Pigeon Cage for one year. This was agreed upon when Actor Apprentice, have you forgotten?" Jenna comforted and persuaded his brother, "In the next two years, my life will be very regular, and there is nothing I need help with."
Julian said "Hmm" and suddenly took out a handful of Banknotes and coins from his arms:
"Celia, take these and concentrate on learning drama performances in the past two years. Don't worry about making money."
Jenna looked at his brother for a few seconds, then accepted those things with a smile Cash:
"When you come back, I may have become the famous Stage Actor."
"Then I am an excellent technical expert." Julian suddenly remembered his heroic words when he was a child, and he looked at each other and smiled with his sister.
It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his whole body.
After Julian left, Franca walked out of Master Bedroom's room and exclaimed happily, "It's great, no need for hypnosis!"
"Actually, there is no big difference. When I made the decision to hypnotize Julian, it was as if it had already happened." Jenna laughed at himself.
Franca said with relief, "No matter what, this matter has been initially resolved.
"Next, the main thing we need to do is to consolidate the followers of Disease Church, spread the faith secretly, and think of a convincing enough rhetoric to add you.
"Also, help Anthony prepare for promotion to Ritual and find out the traces of 'Society of the End of All Things' and Zaratul."
Jenna said "Hmm" and sighed sincerely, "A rare free period."
In this way, when Lumian and others were relatively stable and did not bring anything Calamity, time flew by and Past several months passed in the blink of an eye.
