Princess' personal painter

As for Yannis, he just looked at Samuel leisurely.

Only then did he think of something, Samuel coughed twice, and asked, "What's the asking price?" When he noticed the businessman shaking his head, his expression changed, and his voice sank, "What do you want?"

Yannis said slowly: "The accessory you sold to me last time is called 'Whispers of Vercetti'. It seems to be quite suitable for Irene. Is it enough to exchange it with the material you want?"

Erin was looking at the objects displayed everywhere, when she suddenly heard her name, she turned around in surprise.Only then did she realize that the businessman's transaction this time seemed to be related to her.

"Impossible!" Samuel twitched his eyebrows and flatly refused, "Although the 'Whispers of Vercetti' is unknown, it is still an ornament made by top craftsmen during the Holy Empire. Its value is comparable to that of a single One piece of material is much taller!"

"But, when you sold it to me last time, you wanted to sell it to me for [-] gold coins, didn't you?" the businessman asked back.

Samuel blushed with anger and stood up: "Your material is not worth [-] gold coins at all!"

"This extremely rare spar is currently only found in the Central Mountain Range. If there is no expert to collect it, it is almost impossible to appear on the market." Facing Samuel's anger, Yannis did not hesitate at all. "The next time you see it, I don't know how long you'll have to wait."

"Once I invent that thing, I can naturally apply for someone from above..." Samuel got stuck in his throat halfway through his words. He stood stiffly for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Since Mr. Samuel has no intention of trading, please forgive me."

Yannis' tactic of retreating into advance is obviously very effective.Samuel's face turned blue and red, and he quickly stopped the businessman who was saying goodbye: "Wait..."

"Is there any advice?" With a consistent smile on his face, Yannis waited for the other party's response.

Finally, Samuel snorted and said, "Forget it, it's useless to me anyway... It's in the second cabinet over there, go get it yourself."

Under the sign of the merchant's eyes, Irene found what Samuel called "Vancetti's Whisper" from the corresponding cabinet. The gem, the circumference of the gem, is the rhombus-shaped silver border.

Judging from the perspective of appreciation, this elegant and delicate head chain is also a very outstanding work of art.

The businessman gave Samuel a gift of gratitude, and asked again: "Mr. please explain its function again, can you?"

Samuel said in a deep voice: "The person who wears this jewelry will reduce the aura on their body and become less conspicuous. But in actual tests, its effect is not obvious... just its strange In effect, only undercover or spies would use this kind of thing, but it's made into a women's accessory."

After a pause, Samuel looked at Irene for the first time and asked, "Does she have any special status?"

"The daughter of an old friend of mine." Yannis said lightly. "It's a pity that my friend believed in Sisling's heresy before his death."

Samuel was naturally skeptical about what the businessman said, but he didn't intend to inquire further, but waved his hand and issued an order to drive away: "'Whispers of Vercetti' is not a magic tool, nor does it produce any magic power. Fluctuation, it only distorts people's cognition through ingenious 'techniques'... For a while, I really wanted to take it apart to find out... That's all, you just remember to treat it well."

On the way home, Eileen, who was sitting in the carriage, held the jewelry in her hand and asked anxiously: "Is this thing really for me?"

"That's right." Yannis nodded, "Go back to the hotel, try it on and see how it works."

"Yeah." Eileen responded softly.

While bowing her head and thinking, she couldn't help but feel puzzled, and thought: He is a little too nice to me...why?Do I have that much use value?

Chapter 13 Whispers of the God of Truth

In the hotel room, Erin faced the mirror and carefully put on the 'Whispers of Vercetti'.

Irene's hair is a golden chestnut color, which has a somewhat refined taste, but once she wears this emerald silver-trimmed headdress, her temperament is much enriched.Exquisite and elegant emerald gemstones are dotted on the forehead, which is fresh and atmospheric, making Irene feel like a noble lady.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Erin reached out and untied the ponytail that had been tied all along, and let her hair down.The supple chestnut-colored long hair has grown to the shoulders. The color of the hair is playful and luxurious, reflecting Irene's immature and lovely face. I saw a "Lolita" full of innocence appearing in the mirror.

After being stunned for a while, Irene lowered her head and suppressed the feeling of thumping heart with difficulty.

After a while, Erin raised her head, looked at herself with a dull expression, and tried to blink her eyes.

When the slender eyelashes opened and closed slightly, the pair of beautiful eyes suddenly became lively.There was a curious taste in the emerald pupils, conveying the girl's spirit.

At this moment, Erin was fascinated by the cuteness she showed.

It's too bad... I can't escape the level of narcissism.

It is almost impossible to forget any picture you like after seeing it at a glance-this is also one of Erin's professional habits as a painter "once".

Just like that, Eileen walked out of the bathroom with a somewhat nervous attitude.

In the room was the businessman Yannis who had been waiting for a long time. As soon as he saw Irene, he showed a happy expression and exclaimed: "It suits you very well..." After this sentence, there was no further words.

Eileen, who waited for a while but didn't get the instructions, raised her head a little uneasily: "How do you feel...?" As soon as she said these words, a sense of shame invaded her all of a sudden.

No, that's not what I meant... But, I don't know how to express it...

Yannis frowned, and his expression became a little weird. He opened his mouth, and after a while he let out a sentence: "It looks like this, but you are more eye-catching."

Erin asked suspiciously, "What do I need to do?"

The businessman squinted his eyes, and paced back and forth in thought: "I remember, in order to prevent your past identity from being easily recognized, there is a plan coming, have you told me about it?"

"The plan?" Erin, who was a little confused, shook her head, but she immediately remembered something, and pointed to the head chain on her forehead, "Does it mean this thing?"

Yannis was slightly taken aback, and blurted out, "What is this? When did you wear it?"

"Vancetti's Whisper." Irene almost realized something, pointed to the jewelry on her head and asked, "Do you need to take it off?"

Watching Erin quietly, the businessman became a little irritable.There was clearly some kind of weirdness in the current atmosphere, but he couldn't tell where that weirdness came from.He clenched his fist unconsciously, and finally, he caught something faintly, and asked Irene:

"Did I forget something?"

After confirming her inner thoughts, Erin stretched her hand around the back of her head, and took off the head chain lightly.

In an instant, the strange feeling disappeared.

After a while, recovering from the irritability, Yannis took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Fansetti's whisper... It seems that this thing is not as simple as I imagined."

Irene lowered her head to consider the jewelry in her hand, and heard Yannis say:

"Silently distorting people's cognition, making people completely unaware of the existence of 'it' itself, it is indeed a tool made by the top craftsmen back then. Irene, when you put it on, do you feel it? What strange feeling?"

Weird feeling?

Eileen shook her head after recalling briefly.

The businessman stared at Irene: "Try wearing it again and see if you can call out its name?"

"Yeah." Irene nodded, put on the headdress again, and after fastening the button at the end of the silk thread, she called out softly, "Whispers from Vercetti."

As for Yannis, who was once again affected by the jewelry, he felt that there was a trace in his perception that was quietly erased. He frowned, forcibly held back the surprise in his heart, and said to Erin: "That's right...it's really the feeling just now ..."

Pausing for a while, the businessman wanted to express something but forgot the key point, so he said in a deep voice, "It seems to be... a test? Irene, you know how to do it."

After understanding what the businessman meant, Irene thought for a few seconds, then pointed to the jewelry on her finger, and asked, "Do you still remember this thing, sir?"

Yannis stared at the headband with strange eyes, and after a while, finally shook his head.

Irene explained softly: "'Its name is 'Whispers of Vercetti'."

"Fan..." was just a pronunciation, and the businessman's expression became subtle, "What are you talking about? I can't hear you clearly..."

"Vancetti's whisper." Irene repeated.

I saw the businessman closed his eyes, contemplating.Not long after, obvious sweat dripped from his forehead, and an obvious look of annoyance appeared on his face, and he scolded: "Irene, that's enough!"

The startled Irene quickly took off the tiara for fear of any accident.

Yannis was still standing there with his eyes closed, secretly adjusting his breath.Finally, he calmed down from the abnormal experience, and described in a deep voice: "The more I want to find out, the more I feel the suffocating blankness... It's really scary."

"Will I still wear it in the future?"

When asking questions, Eileen couldn't help thinking of the image she saw in the mirror earlier, wearing accessories on her head, and for some reason, she felt a little bit reluctant.

"Let me think about it." Yannis narrowed his eyes, "When this thing is worn by someone, it hides its own aura... What does this really mean?"

Besides, that alchemist doesn't seem to know much about this accessory?

"Whispers of Vercetti...the name seems to have any special meaning?" The businessman continued to talk freely, "When this thing was built, what was its real function?"

While Yannis was thinking, Irene became uneasy for some reason.She sat quietly on the bed, subconsciously rubbing the smooth gemstone with her fingers.

The soft emerald color reflected in Irene's eyes, giving off a strange sense of intimacy.

While distracted, I don't know how long it took before Irene heard the businessman say: "Forget it, this thing has unknown function, and it may be a legendary monster. Just in case, let me keep it... I will go tomorrow Find that guy Samuel and find out where it came from."

"No!" After Erin blurted out, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she lowered her head, "Sorry...I'm not..."

Erin's performance made Yannis' eyes sharpen: "Sure enough, you are also affected."

Chapter 14 The Shadow of Drestal

The next morning, the two came to Xicheng District again.

However, when he got out of the carriage and reached the corner of the street, Yannis suddenly changed his mind and said to Irene, "I'll go alone, you wait here."

Irene was slightly taken aback, and then saw the businessman walking into the alley with the box in his hand.

Fear came over her, and Erin bit her lips slightly.

Tens of meters away, the carriage was still waiting not far away, and the driver of the caravan dozed off against the railing.Erin raised her eyes, glanced at the giant tower, and suddenly wanted to take a stroll around.

It was still early, and there were hardly any pedestrians on the street.The thin coolness of the air made Erin shiver.

How does this city, which seems to be made of steel, work?

At both ends of the street, there are unchanging and thick houses. After walking through the middle for a while, Irene turned around and looked, and the giant tower of Dres was still standing in front of her eyes, with awe-inspiring power.

The rising sun behind her cast her shadow on the road ahead.Compared with the giant tower above, the petite shadow is so insignificant, Irene only felt the chill on her body deepened.

The me right now...is really small.

With a feeling of admiration or awe, Irene turned her eyes away from the tower, and walked aimlessly to an alley.Looking into the alley, the end of the road is hidden between the old houses on both sides.The dilapidated atmosphere made Eileen stop in her tracks.

Still, her curiosity got the better of her.

Irene stepped forward and walked into the alley slowly. The doors and windows of the houses on both sides were tightly closed, and there was an unpleasant musty smell in the air.The deeper you go, the more rubbish there is on the ground, and the more obvious the messy atmosphere.

The scene that has been behind for several centuries shows that this is the slum area in the city.

The winding road ahead does not know where it leads. Erin is almost certain that if she continues to go further, she will see an even more bleak scene.So, feeling bored, she stopped and planned to return the same way.

A gust of wind blew, and the temperature dropped a bit, so Irene wrapped her coat around her body.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps from the front startled Irene's heart.Before she could react, she saw a ragged young man running out from the depths of the alley.

When he saw Erin, a look of hope flashed across the young man's face.But in the next moment, seeing the terrifying black robe blocking his body, the young man's expression was replaced by despair.

Erin stood there in a daze, she had no idea how the man in black appeared.Just feeling a blur in front of his eyes, the fleeing youth was blocked by the man in black.

"There have been a lot of little mice recently."

The man in black made a low voice.

"Please, please spare me..." The young man put on a fawning smile on his face, and begged the man in black, "I will recruit anything! It was all ordered by others..."
