I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 106 Chapter [-] Artists
"Lev?" Count Hummels looked back at a middle-aged man with a mustache not far away, shook his head and said, "No, I am very familiar with Baron Lev's paintings, his paintings are not in this style of."

Baron Lev looked like he was in his early thirties, with a well-trimmed mustache and hair tied back in a bun. He really looked like an artist.

At least if Keos, who is tall and tall and has grown a lot in the past year, stands with him, he will definitely look more like a contracted servant or a spirit guard.

When Christina showed these paintings that were given to her as a birthday present, Baron Lev did not gather around like other guests, and was still drinking in a lonely corner with a wine glass.

Baron Leo Marenzo is an aristocratic painter who became famous much earlier than Kaios. Kaios has also seen his works on the top floor of the library - being accepted into the top floor is enough to prove his strength up.

However, Baron Lev's reputation seems to be relatively withdrawn, especially when he is not drinking, he is a person who speaks aggressively, does not know how to turn around, and is not very talkative.After drinking too much, you will become more talkative.

Kaios also looked back at Baron Narev. Although he was not looking this way, he was obviously listening to them with his slightly sideways posture while holding the wine.

When Christina took Kaios's arm just now, the apertures of many guests changed negatively, as did Baron Lev.

If I remember correctly, when he first arrived at the banquet hall, Baron Lev’s aperture was about 1/5 yellow, which is considered to be the kind that he has a good impression of him. I think he has seen his paintings or heard about him before. painter of fame.

But looking at it now, Baron Lev's aperture no longer has a trace of yellow, and even appears purple.

Keos speculated that Baron Lev should like Count Christina, which is why he had this reaction.

As for whether Baron Lev is single or married, it doesn't really matter - most of the men in this banquet hall are married, but this does not prevent them from becoming hostile to Kaios because of Christina's closeness ...

However, after Kaios said that the painting of all living beings on the pier and the flying swallow fluttering its wings was made by Baron Lev, and he also told the artistic conception and emotion expressed in that painting, he could see Baron Lev The aperture at the back of the head changed significantly again, the purple color quickly faded, and the entire aperture seemed to be almost completely gray.

This change naturally proved his deduction to be correct, it was indeed Baron Lev's work.

As for the emotion and artistic conception expressed in this painting, no one needs to verify it. Kaios believes in his "special ability".

What is contained in this kind of artwork is a characteristic of objective existence in this world. There is no such thing as a hundred Hamlets in the eyes of a hundred people.

But looking back, Kaios did not insist on his opinion in front of Earl Hummels, but nodded and said:
"Indeed, the style of this painting is different from Baron Lev's previous works, and I may be wrong in my judgment."

Earl Hummels belongs to the kind of nobleman who prefers to comment on works of art. He has a lot of basic knowledge, but the art comment or "appreciation" of art in this world essentially tests the ability of soul perception, which is talent. , so it is understandable to make mistakes in this painting.

Although Earl Hummels' aperture is 1/10 purple, it is basically caused by Christina's "Hateful Arm" just now, and there is no fundamental conflict in itself.

Moreover, Earl Hummels is still a major client of his "creator", and there is still the possibility of cooperation in the future. Even if he is not flattering, try not to offend him.

Of course, Earl Hummels couldn’t immediately change his attitude and cater to him as soon as he opened his mouth. In that case, he would lose his “painter” personality. He had to express the “professional information” he wanted to express, and then in this situation Then it is necessary to express "respect" at the point of insistence, and to obey the elders and those with high status.

Although Christina set a lottery with Kaios first, she didn't reveal the result immediately. After all, besides Kaios, there will be other guests to comment.

Kaios then commented on the three works, expressed his feelings, and made guesses about the authors.

Among them, he even guessed that it was made by the Marquis of Alan, which caused exclamation from all around.

What makes the Marquis of Alan amazing is not only his status as a Marquis, but also his artistic attainments.

It can even be said that among the living painters of the Holy Blessed Alliance, the Marquis of Alan can be ranked in the top ten in terms of influence.And if we only talk about the artists in Yulang City, the Marquis of Alan is a representative figure that everyone must recognize.

It has been a long time since Marquis Elan's works have been published. If Kaios' judgment is correct, wouldn't it mean that Marquis Alan painted a painting specially for Christina's birthday?

When Caios was on the fourth floor of the library, he had seen more than one painting of the Marquis of Alan.

One of the moods of the "Reversed Slash", a "work that changed the style of painting" that he showed to Judge Pender after he created it, came from the famous work "Desperate Land" created when the Marquis of Alan was still the Earl, so He has in-depth research, experience and insights into the emotional characteristics and painting style of Marquis Alan's works.

Keos also talked most seriously and in detail about the work he believed to be by the Marquis of Alan.

Of course, although what Keos said was well-founded and his analysis was sound, some people still raised objections.

However, compared to the previous Earl Hummels, this dissenting guest does not even have a title. It is just like the dawn, an ordinary lord who just came out of the family to buy property independently, and the rebuttal point of view is a bit preposterous. generally.

However, after expressing his point of view, Keos still did not insist on judging the author of the painting. He only said, "What you said is also reasonable, and my inference may be wrong", and avoided the confrontation.

Kaios only talked about his views on the four paintings, and after making the author's guess, he said that he was helpless and invited other guests to come.

In fact, among these works, there are quite a few that he can guess the author of. Even if he does not know the author and has a level of painting, he can basically tell the artistic conception and emotion expressed by the painting.

After learning from Presiding Judge Pan De the appreciation and evaluation methods of the truly mainstream aristocratic "art world", he knew that his "supernatural ability" was also a BUG-level dimensionality reduction blow in this field.

He didn't really care about showing off at the banquet, or wooing Christina, winning prizes, and so on.

But he understood that his comments on these works of art at the banquet would definitely be spread, spread in the aristocratic art circle, and even reached the ears of the original author, the Marquis of Elan.

Why are so many great lords and nobles keen to taste and comment on various works of art in various public places?
Obviously not because they really love art, but because this is the cheapest way to get into the social circle of higher-level lords and nobles.

If a certain person's artistic work is recognized by many top art masters, the recognized art attainment of this person will naturally improve rapidly.

And if a nobleman's comments on various works of art are repeatedly approved by other commentators, making the creative leaders in the art circle feel that the comments are reasonable, and even ask for comments, this nobleman, regardless of his title, fame and reputation Both will rise quickly.

After having to contact a large number of lords and nobles during this period of time, Keos deeply understood how important and useful it is to have the title of artist and the reputation in the field of art in the Holy Blessed Alliance.

Like Earl of Vox and Earl of Hughes, who are higher than him in title and stronger than him, they will discuss business with him, because of the relationship with the presiding judge of Pender, there are reasons for their interests.

However, his attitude, difficulty level, and posture in various exchanges are often directly related to his identity as a well-known painter.

In the Blessed Alliance, the higher your artistic attainment, the higher the degree of recognition, the higher the level you can touch, the greater the things you can do, and the greater the impact you can create.

It's an invisible lever.

Because other guests were invited to comment on and taste these works, although Christina saw that Kais did not "do his best", she still let him step aside first.

But before letting him back away, Christina leaned close to his ear and whispered in a rather seductive voice: "Baron Keos, you guessed all four authors correctly, I owe you four sets The 'Magic Refining System' is gone, um... do you want to exchange for other rewards?"

He had expected all four correct answers, but Christina's last sentence made his heart tremble, and he couldn't help being startled.

But at the moment of this slight pause, Christina had already smiled and said to him: "It seems that I don't want to, just forget it, go and accompany Xiao Lixiao, she has been looking at you eagerly..."

Then Christina didn't wait for his response, so she turned around and walked towards another guest: "Count Hummels, please comment on these paintings next."

Qian Cangxiao next to him had indeed been staring at Kaios, watching him comment on those paintings, and his eyes never moved away from him from beginning to end.

Of course, it's not because of obsession or any other emotional reasons between men and women, but because she is looking for an anchor point in her memory from her identity as a painter of Kaios, and wants to see if there is any difference in the history that happened in her previous life. Someone like Keos appeared.

It's a pity that although she also claims to be an "explosion artist", she was always outside the mainstream in her previous life. Before that big event happened, she had never been in contact with the so-called top artist circle, so the name Kaios In the original timeline, she is not sure about the status of the characters in the art world and whether they have ever emerged.

Seeing Kaios leave Christina, Qing Cangxiao walked over again, ready to continue the unfinished conversation.

But unexpectedly, just a few steps closer to her, a person came in beside her and "cut off" Kaios.

"Baron Kaios, would you like a drink?" Baron Lev walked up to Kaios and waved to a servant with a drink.

Kaios first nodded slightly to the light dawn a few steps away, indicating that he saw her, then took a small sip of a glass of low-alcohol fruit wine, slightly raised the glass and said to Baron Lev: "I just took the liberty to comment on the baron There may be insufficient words in the paintings, please forgive me the baron."

Lev shook his head and said, "I am a baron, and you are also a baron. Don't call me baron or baron. You call me Lev, and I will call you Kaios."

Lev picked up the wine glass, touched Kaios lightly, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, let out a long breath, and said: "Kaos, after hearing what you said just now, you are actually very sure that the painting I drew it?"

"Yes, I'm sure you painted that painting, Lev." Kaios glanced at the fruit wine in his hand, hesitating whether to kill it too. In the third and fourth grades of high school, he did it. Would it be rude if he didn't kill it?Fortunately, Lev asked another question, so he could just continue talking without worrying about whether the wine should be dry or not.

"The paintings I draw when I'm drunk are very different from those when I'm sober. It can even be said that they are almost completely different. And all the paintings I drew before people were seen in one state. Today's painting, It is the first time that a painting drawn in another state is displayed in front of the public, how did you recognize it?" Lev asked puzzled.

Kaios looked at the painting over there, and said: "I have seen your "Beginning of Life" on the fourth floor of the library, and it is indeed almost completely different from the artistic conception of this painting. The emotion expressed in that painting is Enthusiastic, positive, embracing everything, and full of curiosity about everything. But this one... has a kind of indifference to everything, and doesn't care about all the elements in the whole painting except yourself, and even...maybe about yourself It doesn't feel like…”

Lev beckoned for a servant, ordered another glass of wine, nodded after taking a sip, and said, "Your evaluation is very spot on, and your judgment is very accurate, but since it's completely different, how can you be sure it's mine?"

"Because in the two paintings... in the deepest part of them, there is a sense of..." Kaios narrowed his eyes, as if he was recalling, as if he was reminiscing, and he said after a while: "There is a sense of helplessness hidden in both of them. A feeling of depression, a sense of frustration that you have worked hard but feel powerless? The "Beginning of Life" on the fourth floor of the library is the precursor of this deep emotion, and the picture I see now is this deep emotion. The result of hiding emotions? At first glance, these two paintings seem to have completely different artistic concepts and emotions, but in fact... they can be connected through the helpless emotions, and they have a unified emotion."

Lev nodded as he listened. After listening, he swallowed the wine in his glass and asked, "Which one do you think was painted while drunk and which one was painted when sober?"

"This one is sober, and "The Beginning of Life" is drunk." Kaios blurted out without any thought.

"Excellent... confidant, confidant..." Lev smiled and shook his head, his eyes were closed, as if he was a little drunk.

"Be careful of Christina, this is... a bad woman... Hiccup~" Lev approached Kaios and whispered vaguely.
