“What’s this?”

Walking into the hall, Rhode astonishi+ngly gazed at the decorations that hung on the wall They were oil paintings of familiar sceneries within Deep Stone City With h the clouds, endless deep mine shafts, central parks under the clear blue skies, and even picturesque sceneries near the stronghold He had to say that hanging suchhall did bring along a heartwars coht of this question because he clearly recalled that he didn’t purchase any of theht by Marlene and the rest? This wasn’t likely too because, as a vice-leader, Marlene was serious in her work and wouldn’t possibly do that

“Do you knohat happened?”

Rhode turned around and asked Shauna and Kavos looked at each other and shook their heads Both of the such things, not toabout them As for Lapis, she holed herself up in the rooes

That’s odd Where did they come from?</e as a figure eed before everyone

“Mr Rhode, have all of you returned?”

Marlene hugged a pile of scrolls into the hall Surprised with the return of Rhode and the gang, she ireeted

“Did the ood How’s your condition? Hoas the training?”

“Very well, Mr Rhode Everyone has als I think we can soon show you the fruits of our labour”

Marlene revealed a confident s in a lot of hard work Especially to Marlene—she used to only lack battle experience, but now that sohad passed, her battle experience had increased tre forward to the results… But…”

Rhode nodded in satisfaction but quickly changed his tone as he pointed at the paintings on the wall

“What’s with those? I don’t res”

“Huhuhu…”

Marlene’s chuckles surprised hiance

“Christie painted them”

“Huh?”

Rhode was as

“All of them were painted by little Christie? Wow… so beautiful… ah, I didn’t know that little cutie had such talents”

Obviously, not only was Gillian shocked, but even Rhode was flabbergasted He didn’t knohat talents Christie had, but he wasn’t too e, the only thing she needed to do was recuperate, so Rhode didn’t expect her to do anything else Rhode couldn’t help but twitch his eyebrows because, even though these paintings were indeed beautiful, painting them was a waste of time Could it be that Christie…

Marlene understood what Rhode was thinking due to his expression and quickly explained

The truth was, after Rhode left, Marlene and the rest continued with their training Whereas Christie could only recover and do nothing else Although Christie was an obedient girl, coping up in the roo problems too Furthermore, Rhode wasn’t by her side, which h Lize, Anne, and Marlene took time to accompany her, the only one who could make her feel at ease was Rhode

And, under such circumstances, Christie had suddenly decided to paint This request surprised Marlene and the others, but they didn’t stop her After all, it wasn’t great to keep her coped up all day in her roo of her interest, it made no sense for them to stop her Therefore, Marlene and the others helped Christie purchase sketch pads, paint brushes, and paints which allowed her to paint to her heart’s content

Surprisingly, Christie showed her talented side

This little girl, who had never painted, actually did so well When she was painting, she didn’t seem to be inexperienced at all and she didn’t see Marlene’s questions, the little girl was at a loss as though this wasn’t anything strange to her
