I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 124 Art is really easy to use!
After Kaios greeted the Marquis of Alan, his eyes naturally fell on the huge painting on the dining room wall.

"Is this a painting by Master Theo?" Keos asked.

"This painting is indeed "Winter Hunting Picture" by Master Xio, but Baron Keos can guess whether this painting is written by Master Xio himself." Marquis Alan said with a smile.

Xio is a great painter a hundred years ago. The biggest feature of his paintings is their large size. He is good at creating all kinds of huge oil paintings. He was once very sought after and favored by nobles.

But it's a pity that although he earned a lot of magic coupons, he spent more, didn't save any assets, and couldn't apply for the title of knighthood until his death. ", but unable to take his title.

Since Marquis Alan asked him to guess whether it was written by Master Xio, then there is a high probability that it is not.

And looking at this painting, it doesn't look like it has a history of a hundred years - if it is really an original work with a history of a hundred years, there should be a related protective circle or magic device on it.

Kaios calmed down, stared at the painting for a while, felt the emotion of the painting, and said: "I have seen Master Xio's paintings in the library before, and his paintings have a sense of indifference overlooking all living beings, and this This painting is so full of emotions, it has a feeling of compassion, whether it is for the hunting person or the hunted animal, this white land, the gray sky, there is a kind of... Concern and... ... love."

Undisguised surprise appeared on Marquis Alan's face: "You actually figured it out so quickly?"

Based on the appreciative ability that Keos showed when he commented on the painting at Christina's birthday party before, it is normal to see that this painting is not written by Xio himself, but after only watching for a short while, he directly judged it without hesitation. It is too strong to tell the reason and the way of tasting the painting.

He was sure that it was impossible for Keos to have seen this painting before. His restaurant was not used to entertain guests. Except for a few members of the Myers family and the lord who had a good relationship with him, there was no People have seen that painting.

In other words, these judgments can only be made by Kaios immediately after seeing the painting.

This comprehension ability is really enviable...

But before he finished feeling, he heard Caios continue to say: "The author of this painting...is Count Samaleo?"

With a snap, Marquis Alan slapped his hands on the table and stood up, startling the waiter next to him and the guard not far away, and looked at him in surprise.

After seeing the surprised and excited eyes of Marquis Alan looking at Kaios, they breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that their master was happy again.

However, they were also curious. Baron Keos had just arrived at Shanhai Manor and just said a few words to make the master enter this state. Could it be that he is really the "one-in-a-century genius in the art field" that the master said?
Of course, Kaios was taken aback by the movement of the Marquis of Alan just now, but he calmed down quickly. After all, the half-yellow halo on the back of the Marquis of Alan's head, which continued to turn yellow, told him that this The Marquis artist has a very good impression of him, and his answer just now must be correct.

"Have you seen Samaleo's paintings before?" Alan asked.

"Yes, I saw it in the library." Keos said honestly.

Alan was stunned: "The fourth floor of the library? Are there also works by Samaleo?"

Although compared to the previous "Master Xio", this Samaleo has the title of Earl, but in the art world, the influence of the latter is far less than that of the former, and the works left behind are very rare. It can be said to be the minority of the minority.

Even if they are painters, not many people know about Samaleo, let alone recognize his engravings of other people's paintings at once.

In fact, the Marquis of Alan deliberately led Kaios to guess at him at the beginning, and his painting style is also a little bit close to this huge painting that reproduces Theo's classic itself—he often looked at the pictures one by one when he was a child. Corner research, imitation, honing painting skills.

Kaios actually answered the correct answer directly, which Alan never thought of.

"Yes, but it's not in the main exhibition hall on the fourth floor. It's in the third room on the right, near the corner. It's next to other paintings, and it's not hung up for display. Most people visit the fourth floor, they should I won’t see that... I also specifically asked the staff to display those paintings, so I saw it. The work of Count Samaleo I saw was "Wolf". Although the picture is not very shocking, it is The emotions contained are surprisingly strong, and the overall feeling expressed... is very impressive."

As Kaios said, he looked at the giant painting that occupied the entire wall in the dining room, and said, "In this painting, I feel that very special strong emotion again, loving everything and embracing everything."

Marquis Alan couldn't help asking: "Have you seen all the paintings on the fourth floor?"

Kaios shook his head: "Not yet, probably only read about... about 95%, and a small part of the paintings in a room that I haven't seen yet. As you know, Judge Pan De has left Yu Langcheng, if I want to apply for a fourth-floor reading permit, it may not be so easy."

Even artists and connoisseurs who really like paintings usually choose their favorite painters or styles to appreciate when they are on the fourth floor of the library.

According to the appraisal system of the Holy Bless Alliance, it takes a certain amount of time for those who really understand "appreciation" to look at a painting. In the limited time, most people will not look at all the paintings indiscriminately. Not to mention the paintings that are piled up in small rooms and warehouses—everyone will feel that the ones that are not hung up are relatively less famous and outstanding, and the ones that are hung up have not been finished yet, so why bother to look at those.

Only Kaios, who went to see paintings to collect the emotions in different paintings and use them to practice and transform them into his own "magic spirit", would simply scan them indiscriminately, without missing any one.

Moreover, there are few people who can gain the appreciation of Chief Judge Pan De like him, and the viewing authority of the fourth floor is almost unlimited.

In fact, some of the more unpopular works, the emotions they express are even rarer. When they are transformed into "demons", the attacks they display will be more distinctive, so sometimes he deliberately looks for those Unpopular works.

But when these words were heard in the ears of the Marquis of Alan, the feeling was different.

As a result, Kaios saw the ever-growing yellow circle of light behind Marquis Alan's head, which instantly filled up, and then a bit of blue burst out from the yellow circle, and began to expand rapidly.

He couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional:

Art is so useful!
Aristocrats who like art are really... so easy to guide!

Long live art!

……

Next, Kaios chatted with Marquis Alan about more works of artists.

Because he has seen enough paintings and read all kinds of books, he can basically catch any topic that the Marquis of Alan throws out, and he can always give Alan a sympathetic or eye-catching point of view.

So this dinner was a feast for the guests and the host. After the meal, Alan kept Kaios sitting and chatting in the garden for a long time, and then took him to see the small building where he specially put paintings.

It wasn't until early in the morning that the Marquis of Alan couldn't help but said to Kaios: "Baron Kaios, there is a temporary jury meeting in the Holy Blessing Palace today, do you know?"

"know."

"Then you should know that the main topic of discussion today is Earl Gale's application for war against you."

"know."

"Then you should also know why I asked you to come over for dinner today?"

"Thank you, Marquis Alan, for your kindness, for taking care of my affairs."

Alan smiled wryly and said, "I've actually been waiting for you to take the initiative to talk about this, but you just kept silent. It seems that you really came to have dinner with me to discuss art and painting."

He said, pondered for a while, and said: "You should understand that Jialei will come to trouble you, and there must be the instigation of the Marquis of Steel Heart behind it. With your current strength, you want to defeat Jialei in frontal battles and battles." , the chances are still too slim, even if there is an all-out war, other lords will join the battle to help you, the Marquis of Steel Heart may also join, not to mention that if there is an all-out war... it will all be in your territory, and the losses at that time will definitely It’s not something that can be stopped by 20 or [-] magic coupons, and those industries that you are developing right now will also be interrupted. Kaios, bear with it, procrastinate, wait until the new judge arrives, maybe there will be The variable may not be as Joey Steele intended? He is anxious to let Galei take action at this time, perhaps because he is not sure about the situation after the arrival of the new judge?"

These words can really be said to be sincere and heartfelt. Kaios believes that when the Marquis of Gale invited him to dinner at the beginning, he didn't want to say these things, and he might even have to wait until he asked for mediation and help. Only then will the set of compensation plans for Jialei proposed at the interim jury meeting today be proposed.

But after the meal in the evening, Keos had successfully made the halo of the back of Marquis Alan's head change from half yellow to half blue, and his attitude and impression towards him would inevitably undergo a huge change.

Of course he would not agree to the plan proposed by the Marquis of Alan in the temporary jury, but it was impossible for him to directly and bluntly reject the kindness of the Marquis of Alan, so after thinking about it, he talked about the seemingly and current Off topic things:
"There is a painting on the fourth floor of the library that I like so much that it can be ranked among my top three favorites. Like Count Samaleo's "Wolf", it is piled up in a small room and has not been hung for display. And it doesn't even have a signature and title, and the staff don't know who the original author of the painting is.

"The painting depicts a man with ragged clothes, a few arrows, and scars. He climbs the mountain wall with his bare hands. The mountain wall is very steep and rugged. There are still some people shooting arrows at him on the top of the mountain. There are rolling stones. , but below the mountain is boiling sea water, and there are many huge monsters sticking out their heads and claws trying to catch him.

"It seems that for the person hanging on the mountain wall, no matter whether he is going up or down, it is a desperate situation. I don't know whether he is going up or down at that moment in the painting.

"But... I didn't feel any despair from that painting. There was only an indescribable fighting will, and the anger and ferocity formed around this fighting will.

"Then I knew that the person clinging to the mountain wall in the painting was constantly climbing up, because he knew that compared to the underwater monsters, although the enemies above were difficult to deal with, at least there was still a chance of survival.

"He chose to go up."

After listening to this seemingly irrelevant passage, the Marquis of Alan nodded thoughtfully, then picked up the fruit wine in his hand, and smiled at Kaios: "Then, Baron Kaios, come today Let's go here, I hope that the Oz exhibition will be held in a few months, and we can go as planned."
