Dedication to art

A house in the royal capital basically costs 10,000 or 20,000 gold coins, and Li Ya left 25,000 gold coins for Li Dong. Li Dong disliked that this number was not good, and gave Li Ya 250 gold coins.

The grain to be transported was moved to Sunshine City, and Li Ya and the others set off. He was accompanied by Marquis Reagan and a group of troops. Marquis Reagan is the mission leader, responsible for supervising the completion of the mission, and also guarding against the brain-pumping knights from robbing Sunshine City to play. The army belongs to the way, just a free ride, and is responsible for the early defense work by the way. The marquis also had a female adjutant.

The first stage is a bit far, but it is guarded by the army, and it is very safe, and there will be no unsightly pirates to rob Sunshine City. So Li Ya began the ancillary construction of Sunshine City.

The shelter that had been planned a long time ago, the royal family did not help build it, and had to build it themselves. There is also a defensive magic array around Gaia, which broke when the little fairy first evolved, and no new one has been built until now. There was nothing else to do when I was on the road, and these tasks were carried out one after another.

After more than a month of wandering, the construction work was almost completed. Lea and the others also rushed to Enchanted Forest City, which is also a baron-level city, about the size of today's Sunshine City, and the lord is Maurice Baron Night. The Black Night family has been passed down for more than ten generations, and it is a very old family.

The ancestor of the Night Family was an expert in the transformation of magical plants, and by chance, he created a plant called Magic Wood, which is also the only magic wood in the world today. This plant is extremely tenacious and can directly absorb the magic in the air to survive. And no matter how you eradicate it, it will grow back.

Enchanted Wood grows in every corner of Enchanted Forest City, and it is the kind of plant that can grow into a forest in a single plant. Every trunk that grows out is a little crooked. Because you only need magic to survive, there are no leaves on the trees, just sharp thorns. So the whole Enchanted Forest City is a bit eerie.

When the magic wood was first brought out, it troubled the Night Family for many years. Magic Wood will crowd out the living space of other tree species. Causes the Enchanted Forest to produce a huge amount of food.

But later I accidentally discovered that the wood of the magic wood has a strong ability to increase magic power, and it can naturally gather spirits, which can meet the needs of many magic props and high-level magic arrays. After that, many cities wanted to plant magic wood, but only the magic wood itself had a strong recovery ability, and the branches did not even have the ability to grow.

Since then, Enchanted Forest City has survived on the trade of magic wood, but because of its remote location, the magic wood cut down every year cannot be sold. The days are also tight.

This transaction with the royal family, the magic wood that has been accumulated in Enchanted Forest City for so many years, the royal family wants it all in one go, and the food traded is enough for the entire population of the Enchanted Forest to eat for more than ten years, and people have not produced food for a long time, and they have studied a lot of food preservation skills, and they don't worry about the food for more than ten years.

Sunshine City stopped near Enchanted Forest City, and then Lea and Marquis Reagan and the Marquis's lieutenant took a boat to the port of Enchanted Forest City, where Maurice Baron Night was already waiting.

"Welcome to Enchanted Forest, I've got a luncheon ready for you to rest in the castle. Baron Maurice politely invited everyone.

"No need, Sunshine City has its own castle, we mainly come over to hand it over, and we can go back to rest in the evening. "The Enchanted Forest environment is a bit eerie, and Lea doesn't want to stay here.

"At least now you can go to my castle to talk and have lunch. I have some collections, and I can let you enjoy them in the afternoon. Morris wasn't offended by Lea's refusal.

"Okay. ”

Maurice's castle is not very large, the size of three floors, which is larger than the original Sunshine City Castle. Lunch was average, and Li Ya and others, who had eaten the food of the royal capital, had become picky in taste. In the royal capital, Li Ya directly purchased various ingredients for five thousand gold coins and kept them frozen in the cellar of Sunshine City.

Later, Morris took several people to visit his collection. Morris was actually a painter and was good at portraits. Even if Li Ya can't understand art, he can see that Morris's painting is very similar and very realistic.

Marquis Reagan seemed to have some artistic accomplishments, and he watched it with relish, nodding his head and exchanging a word or two with Morris.

"This painting is very charming, it depicts the character's yearning for the future, and the eye depiction is especially in place. Marquis Reagan said.

"Lord Marquis is right, in order to draw this kind of look, I went to Yuanbao City for half a year, and observed dozens of gamblers who got rich overnight before I mastered this kind of look. ”

"Well, art requires hard perseverance, and you can't paint such a masterpiece without hard work. ”

Similar exchanges continued, and Li Ya couldn't understand it, and dozed off a little. The marquis watched it with great pleasure, and Li Ya couldn't leave alone. Fortunately, the female adjutant didn't understand either, and kept pretending to understand, and she threw an envious look at Li Ya. Lea was not Reagan's subordinate, and she stood casually at this time, but the female adjutant had to maintain a standard ceremonial posture.

Finally, when the two finished chatting about art, it was dark, and Li Ya quickly slipped away under the pretext that something was wrong, leaving Marquis Reagan to have dinner with Morris.

There is a lot of food, and it takes two or three days to hand it over, so Sunshine City will stay in Enchanted Forest City for two or three days.

Liuli and the others were playing mahjong, and Li Ya was watching from the side with a rice bowl, not looking like a nobleman at all.

"You should play the second tube, and the second tube will definitely be Hu. Li Ya couldn't help but say.

"Eat your meal, you can only play two hundred, and you can play one thousand two in red, and you can do one thousand and two in red. Liuli despised Li Ya.

"I'm. "The pothos cut off the glass.

"Do you meditate on the space white, you can't see the green pothos in the red. Li Ya laughed and mocked.

"How can you peek at playing mahjong, that's why you're banned. ”

is still at home at ease, and quarrels are more comfortable than at Morris's house. Li Ya thought as she ate.

The next day, Morris came to Sunshine City, and the Marquis of Reagan invited him to be a guest, and Lea, as the host, naturally ordered the butler Barov to entertain Morris in his place.

But at noon, everyone still eats together. At the dinner table, Morris and Marquis Reagan were talking about something, and Lea and the others ate their own.

"Lea, I can't reach that fish. Little Lori sat next to Li Ya, and Li Ya handed the fish to Little Lori,

"Li Ya, Li Ya, the soup is so hot. ”

"I'll blow it for you. ”

Morris stopped talking to Marquis Reagan and looked at Lea.

"Baron Maurice, Baron Maurice. The Marquis noticed that Maurice was distracted, and reminded him loudly.

"I'm sorry to get a little distracted. After that, Morris and the Marquis continued to talk, but Morris would always look at Lea and Lori from time to time.

The next afternoon, Li Ya was napping in the study, and the housekeeper came in and said that Maurice had something to look for Li Ya.

Lea was a little confused, but he still met with Maurice, who also brought a delicate magic staff.

"Young Master Li Ya, look at how this staff is. Maurice smiled and handed the staff to Leah.

Nothing to do, nothing good, take precautions in your heart, Li Ya caught the staff and began to look at it.

It's a very advanced wand. The long cane is carved with fine lines to give it a delicate feel, and the tip is inlaid with a fist-sized ruby. If you look closely, you will see that the ruby has a dynamic phoenix motif inside, which is constantly dancing.

The staff carries four spells, which are to summon the four elements of Phoenix, Thunder, Fire, Ice, and Light. In addition to this, the staff also increases the power of magic by 80%. Quite a fine staff.

Lea really wanted to experiment with the power of the phoenix, but it was better to ask Morris about his intentions first.

"Baron Morris, what does this mean, it won't just be for me to admire your collection. ”

"I have an uninvited feeling, I have a wish painting that has been in preparation for many years, and I have been missing a pair of soul eyes. The look you looked at before was the look I was looking for, and I hope you can be my model. Morris explained with a sincere face.

I thought it was a big deal, and it was just a model in my eyes.

"No problem, the reward is this staff, right?"

"That's right. ”

"Then I'll test the power of the staff first. ”

"Please!"

After that, Li Ya went to the martial arts training ground to experiment with the power of the staff, the four element phoenixes are more than thirty meters huge, and the feeling of riding on them is numb, hot, cold, and dazzling. Li Ya could barely accept the 'coldness' of the Ice Phoenix.

The speed of the phoenix is very fast, and it can be half the speed of the moon in short-distance battles, and it is several times faster than Liya's bubble in long-distance flights. The combat effectiveness is also very strong, all the phoenixes can dismantle the ancient tree of war in three minutes, and the fire phoenix is the fastest, burning it in twenty seconds. The defense is no worse than the War Ancient Tree, because it is big enough. And it can summon four at a time, and the combat power of one staff is stronger than Li Ya itself.

After testing the power of the staff, Li Ya couldn't put it down, and pulled Morris to start drawing, but Morris said to prepare, as long as Li Ya took the little Lori to the Enchanted Forest Castle tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Li Ya took Xiao Lori and a large group of melon-eating people to Maurice's castle.

"Baron Maurice, this is not the same as promised, let me refuse. Li Ya's voice was a little angry.

"Viscount Li Ya, I didn't say that the characters I painted are men, you just need to change into this dress and paint a little dress, it is definitely a beauty who captivates the country and the city, I guarantee in the name of my artist. Morris explained innocently.

"I've worn a lot of meat, hurry up and wear it, everyone is waiting for that, don't waste everyone's time. The laughing melon-eating crowd began to coax.
