After finishing his speech, the bard Kidd left the crowd and headed to the territory's office building.
The crowd behind him was still discussing the contents of the announcement, while Kidd was wondering how the lord's mansion would test him.
I guess I'll need to bring some drawing tools.
On the way there, Kidd bought a set of tools on the street, as the saying goes, it's better to be prepared.
Territory office building.
It still looks very grand, and it's hard to believe that Sandy Territory is just a fiefdom of a mere viscount of a kingdom.
The gate is made of wood with a light gold element, and the light gold color gives people a sense of nobility.
However, some people at the time believed that the purple wood species resembling magic crystals was better.
The world has different colors that exude nobility, but in Ron's original world, gold is probably the most noble!
When Kidd arrived, there weren't many people there yet, and he was glad he had arrived early enough.
Facing the territory guards at the gate, the bard Kydra pulled down his brocade trousers, setting aside the excess fabric, and bowed slightly!
"I have come to apply for the position of painter. May I go in?"
The guard glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Go in! Someone inside will take care of it."
Clearly, the guards received the message and knew roughly what to do.
Kidd nodded and bowed again, his expression one of deep gratitude.
The lowest-ranking bards have no real skill; that's just the norm.
Kidd was pleased with his decision; he now had the chance to enter Sandy's office building once in his life.
Stepping over the threshold, the things inside seemed ordinary, but Kidd, having traveled all over the country to make a living, still had a good eye.
'High-grade dark fragrant wood…'
'Is this... the Purple Jade Terrace?'
The lord of Sandy Territory, well, he does a good job of maintaining a noble facade, much better than the office of some minor nobleman that Kidd saw back then.
Perhaps Kidd can also get in here and become one of them.
His future salary in magic crystals from the lord's manor! Well, it all comes down to this!
I really don't want to travel all over the country anymore. I'm too old, and I simply can't keep up with those caravans anymore...
Kidd's work varied depending on the requirements of the caravan he was following, such as telling stories, composing poems, or playing musical instruments along the way...
With music goddesses, the musical instruments of the ancient world are incredibly diverse.
Painting is one of his hobbies. Sometimes he will paint a picture for a noble lady, and he will often get more magic crystals than usual.
However, that's a rare occurrence, and that's also why he was confident of getting here.
"Excuse me, I'm here to apply for a job as an illustrator. What would I be doing?"
Thinking of asking more people, sure enough, Sandy's office was different; there were quite a few people of different races there.
Kidd was asking about one of the bunny girls.
"Come with me!"
"Yes, miss, please!"
Kidd had frequented aristocratic places and was quite polite, but Duda the bunny girl was a little unaccustomed to it.
There are very few people like that under Nika's rule.
Efficiency is the most important thing; everything else is secondary.
But in any case, hearing someone address me as "Miss" brings a slight sense of pleasure.
Duda became much more polite to Kidd after that.
Duda the Bunny led Kidd into a small room.
During this time, Kidd saw the general layout of Sandy's office building.
There are long tables, and on the tables are wooden boards used for partitions. The boards surround the tables on three sides, leaving one side for people to sit on, facing the tall stack of documents.
There are a lot of territorial affairs to handle, including paperwork, copying important documents, and so on.
The printing technology in the world of Gus is somewhat lacking. Even though Phantom Stones and Soul Stones can be copied, most books are still handwritten.
It must be caused by a break in the continuity of previous civilizations!
Ron already had ideas about the dissemination of comic books, and when Kidd arrived at the designated location, he immediately asked to have his portrait drawn on the spot...
Kidd immediately thought of that noblewoman from back then.
Every frown and smile, every glance is captivating!
The painting by Zhiyu is lifelike.
Fortunately, Kidd also brought coloring tools, and under the supervision of the bunny girl, a painting of a noble lady sitting gracefully was completed.
I habitually bent down and gently blew on the ink, drying it just right.
Kidd elegantly pulled up his long sleeves, placed the finest feathers into the pot.
The entire process was imbued with a scholarly air, as if it were the creation of a long poem destined to be famous for all time.
The bunny girl stared intently at the painting.
I have to admit: "So beautiful!"
Despite his lowly status, Kidd still asked arrogantly, "So? Can this guy work in the territory's office building?"
The bunny girl snapped out of her daze; the painting by the human noblewoman was truly beautiful!
“There’s a good chance. Come here, sir, let me write down some information for you.”
In yet another place, the paintings are naturally sealed away, and there will be specialists to grade them.
"Mr. Kidd?"
"Yes, this is my real name."
Where do you live?
"The Kingdom of Weihai, Jia City!"
"Your current residence?"
"Sandykanji Hotel!"
"..."
"Alright, Mr. Kidd, someone will notify you once the results are in."
Kidd watched the bunny girl write with feathers the whole time. The subspecies in front of him was quite skilled. It was rare to see such talent.
Since Sandy Territory began to emphasize education, the territory's public officials have long had a certain capacity for record-keeping.
It would be best to select some sub-species to include, so as to demonstrate the law of equality among all races in the territory.
Every race has talented individuals skilled in various skills. During the ancient times when the elves ruled and the common language of the continent became widespread, each race had a number of literate individuals. Relatively speaking, among the sub-species, the fox race had more literate individuals.
Powerful clans don't need to be literate; they only need strength.
Subspecies humans are physically strong, while magic shamans are less so.
Kidd left the territory office building, confident in his own artwork, and was already planning to celebrate ahead of schedule.
He believed in the impartiality of Sandy Headquarters. Based on what he had seen and heard during his visit over the past few days, he realized that working a decent job in Sandy Headquarters had long been Kidd's wish.
Kidd soon appeared at a hotel.
Meanwhile, at the lord's manor, Ron was putting his ideas into practice.
There will always be talented people who can produce original manuscripts for comic books.
Mass printing!
Our current magical technology is somewhat lacking, so a compromise is needed...
Okay, all done.
Ron tried it himself.
Very good, this black ink is the most suitable.
First, the original black and white drawing is carved into a template. Then, it can be printed directly onto the template. Life magic is quickly formed!
Sculpting is something that puppeteers have long existed in the world of Guth. Some puppeteers would create disposable wooden puppets, incorporating soul stones, multiple systems of magic runes, and connecting them with spiritual power. This is much more difficult than simply carving.
You can directly hire sculptors, or directly apply your sense of style. Setting high salaries in this way can also attract some puppeteer apprentices.
Furthermore, magicians typically draw magic runes when crafting artifacts...
There were still favorable conditions, and soon, mass-produced black and white comic books were born.
As for the few colored paintings...
This item is exclusively for those with abundant magic crystals, such as nobles and wealthy merchants.
The product is well-defined and the price of the magic crystal is reasonable.
Now for the main event: how to insert missionary advertisements, and how to do it best.
