"Are you okay?" Yan Qiu frowned, his tone full of concern.
Ye Mi was still a little confused, wondering how he fell, but his head didn't hurt.
Later, I finally found that there was something behind my head.
After seeing her sit up, Yan Qiu took back his hands that were underneath her.
"It's okay. I'm used to the chairs with backrests at home." Ye Mi stood up slowly, and then found that except for some pain in the elbows of both hands, there were no other problems.
She shook her hand gently, and her eyes accidentally saw the bruises on the back of his hand.
Although it is not a game, the simulation is very high. No matter if you fall, bump or hit something, you will feel the corresponding pain.
His hand was hit by the force of falling, he didn't expect it to be so serious.
Ye Mi pursed her lips, feeling a little unhappy.
"What are you looking at?" Yan Qiu's eyes had been fixed on her all along. Now, following her line of sight, he saw a purple bruise on the back of his hand.
In fact, he didn't feel much pain, not even as much as when he was attacked by monsters when fighting monsters.
But such a large mark on the fair skin makes it particularly obvious.
It looks a bit scary.
"You... doesn't it hurt here?"
She couldn't help but stretch out a hand, and then gently touched the back of his hand with her fingers.
By the time she came to her senses and wanted to take her hand back, it was too late.
"It hurt quite a bit just now, but it doesn't hurt anymore now," he said seriously.
It was as if the person who had just held someone else's hand in his palm was not him.
Ye Mi didn't know whether what he said was true or false, so after trying to pull his hand back but failing, he just stared at him.
"Xiao Mi! We're done playing, and I'm off work, so I want to go..."
When Lan Shan knew that he could go home from get off work without having to fight monsters, he happily rushed over.
Unexpectedly, when he ran to the door of the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, he saw two people inside looking at each other lovingly (? ). Not only that, Ye Mi's hand was also tightly held by their eldest brother.
The excited voice stopped.
Lan Shan saw the two people inside giving her meaningful looks at the same time, and she said the second half of the sentence in a dry voice.
"...I'll go to your house for dinner...If you don't have time, I can go to a restaurant to eat by myself. I'm leaving first. Bye~"
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared from the doorway.
Ye Mi: ...
She no longer cared whether the man would feel pain or not, and pulled her hand out with a stern face.
"Are you angry?" Yan Qiu came closer to her, speaking cautiously.
Ye Mi glanced at him, not knowing what to say.
She simply stopped talking and continued with her previous work.
When she turned around, she found that the ancient god map she had just placed on the table had fallen to the ground.
If I guessed correctly, it was probably because my movement was too big just now and my foot accidentally kicked the table, so the map fell to the ground.
Ye Mi picked up the map and carefully brushed off the dust.
"Why do you suddenly want to study this map?" Yan Qiu saw what she had in her hand and broached the topic very spontaneously.
If he didn't speak first, Ye Mi would definitely not speak.
When Ye Mi heard Yan Qiu bring up this topic, although he still didn't want to pay attention to him, he still answered his question politely.
"I went to the elves this afternoon, and the Elf King said that this map was like this when it was given to the elves by the ancient gods."
After she finished speaking, she repeated the Elf King's words that seemed like a hint.
Yan Qiu pondered for a moment and vaguely guessed what the Elf King meant.
"The Elf King probably wants to tell you that the exquisitely crafted beaded flowers were also carved by humans. The map looks like it was accidentally stained with ink, but it was actually drawn by a skilled painter using a special method."
This is also the reason why Ye Mi asked about the map, while the Elf King mentioned pearl carvings.
This is because all of these items have one thing in common—they are all made by extremely skilled people using special methods.
It's just that the exquisiteness of the bead carving is too obvious, and anyone can see its extraordinaryness.
The Ancient God Map was so obviously damaged that no one would have thought it was drawn like this on purpose.
After Yan Qiu's reminder, Ye Mi also recalled what the Elf King said and felt that what he said should be right.
If he ignored the fact that this was a game, Ye Mi could recall many examples of mysteries in paintings that he had learned from TV dramas, movies, novels, rumors, and other channels.
For example, some paintings will show traces that were originally invisible after being soaked in water.
In addition to immersion in water, there are many other methods such as burning, heating, applying special solutions, and viewing at a certain angle under sunlight.
Except for some methods that could easily damage the map, Ye Mi tried all other methods, but unfortunately none of them worked.
Ye Mi was a little depressed, but he also knew that this guess was correct, it’s just that the method used was wrong.
"There is no need to try one by one. We just need to find a master who knows painting skills and ask him to take a look at this map." Yan Qiu also held back for a long time before saying this.
The main reason was that the little girl was so excited just now, she was heating up and running out to watch in the sun, and I couldn't bear to dampen her enthusiasm.
Now seeing her being so disappointed because she got nothing, I can't help but want to laugh besides feeling distressed.
"Oh..." She responded in a frustrated tone.
Ye Mi: I feel like a fool...
Yan Qiu: It’s okay, I just like fools.
…
Ye Mi didn’t pay much attention to the follow-up of the city battle.
After all, I have already sent them so many bombs, smoke bombs and various bombs.
With so much ammunition, the pressure on them to defend the city should be greatly reduced.
Her first task at present is to unlock the secrets of the ancient god map.
To this end, she asked almost all the NPCs she knew, and finally learned a piece of information from Grandma.
The painting master she was looking for was actually in the Novice Village!
In order to amuse her, the old lady asked her to guess who it was.
After Ye Mi guessed everyone in the village, he still couldn't guess correctly.
She had no choice but to hold the old lady's arm and act coquettishly.
"Grandma, please stop teasing me."
Grandma laughed loudly and finally told her the master's name.
Ye Mi was dumbfounded when he saw the name.
Isn't this the old man who fishes in their village? !
If it weren't for the fact that grandma's expression was really serious this time, Ye Mi would have suspected that she was still teasing him.
Seeing the doubt on Ye Mi's face, Grandma smiled again: "Little Mi, don't look down on me. This old man Zhao used to be a painter in the Lord's Mansion of Fuguang City."
