Chapter 132: Who is the prototype of the snake girl?

In the art museum, an old man in a gray-green simple kimono is standing in front of the reporter with a kind smile, facing the camera and talking:

"Inspiration is like a cherry blossom that will pass by one piece by piece when the time comes."

"What a wonderful metaphor, worthy of the world-famous master of Japanese painting! Comparable to the master of Katsushika Hokusai! ”

Waves of praise for journalists' professionalism:

"No, your style is unpredictable, not only the ancient ukiyo-e, but also the European Baroque, abstract painting, and Chinese ink painting."

Perfectly, a reporter who has no knowledge of painting style, uses all kinds of praise to embellish the praise that he stacks up with all the words related to painting in his memory.

And the mistake in the details, the famous painter didn't know whether he didn't understand it or didn't say it for the sake of saving face, and responded with a calm and kind smile:

"How can I compare to a master like Katsushika Hokusai? I'm still far away~"

"You're so humble." Madara responded modestly in an official tone, and the reporter who finally won the opportunity to interview was naturally happy to cooperate, "So, do you have any secrets to success?" Can you share it with us? ”

"Hehe~" Madara Yizai let out a laugh and smiled extraordinarily, "The point is to stay away from mundane things like money and fame, so that you can immerse yourself in art wholeheartedly." ”

"I see! I've heard that your studio is just a dilapidated old house, is that why? ”

The reporter expertly threw out praise as if he had made a script:

"He is truly a world-famous master painter!"

"Hmm~ to unintentionally nurture inner beauty, to explore the true beauty of the world, this is the attitude that a true painter should have."

……

Qin Ren, Ryuji Sakamoto and Moldana, looked at Madara from a distance who was being interviewed.

All around, the visitors, who realized that the old man was Madara first-class Sai, rushed over one after another, and even though they were ten meters away, they did not squeeze away.

"Hey, hey! Squeeze what squeeze! Wait a minute! Stepped on me! My shoes! ”

Unlike the Qin people, who nimbly dodged everyone who was about to collide and walked to the outer circle, Ryuji Sakamoto was squeezed out by the crowd with a loud shout.

"I remembered the Halloween stampede and thought I was almost dying." Ryuji Sakamoto cried and came to the Qin people with a sad face.

"I almost died, too!"

Morgana got out of his bag and hung his head:

"Ryuji ......"

"You can't blame me for that." Ryuji Sakamoto chuckled, then turned to Qin Ren, who was standing in front of the painting and looking intently, "Xiao, can you understand?" ”

I don't understand.

Qin Ren shook his head in his heart, where did he have any artistic bacteria, he couldn't understand any of these paintings, the only thing he could understand was technique.

The Qin people, who are professionally involved in painting and have been teaching themselves to paint for a long time, can still understand the skills of using color without complexity.

Speaking of which, because I draw a lot with a pen tablet, sometimes I will subconsciously look for the Ctrl key when I draw by hand......

For these paintings of Madara First-class Zhai, the Qin people still think that they are quite powerful - in terms of technique.

He couldn't understand the content.

However, this Madara first-class Sai is just a counterfeiter who likes to copy and plagiarize.

Famous for a painting called "Sayuri", he has many works with different styles of painting.

has a masterful conversation in public.,It's an actor with extraordinary bearing.。

Many young students were recruited, and they were arranged to live in their own residences, and they would use their social status to suppress the truly talented and dreamy students to protect their reputation, and then take the efforts of these talented apprentices and publish them in their own name.

The modus operandi is similar to that of some notorious graduate supervisors.

A profiteer and liar who resells fakes at a high price for huge profits.

In fact, he is a mediocre person who has no talent and can only maintain the so-called decency by plagiarizing the achievements of his students.

Mr. Madara is a decent actor.

Although I can copy and make changes by copying, the technology is very good, but I don't actually have any inspiration and creativity.

To put it simply, if you have skills but no talent, you are more suitable to be a gunner.

And for the Qin people......

He gazed at the glorious painting in front of him and nodded earnestly:

"It's a good picture......

Well, that's right, although the connotation is incomprehensible, but technically it is a good painting.

"Really? Can you read it? Ryuji Sakamoto's eyes widened, and he turned his gaze to the tree of light that was layered with warm colors......

"What is it talking about?"

"A void tree overflowing with light shells." The Qin people suddenly pronounced the words that came to their minds, "This is like a 'door' to a heterogeneous world that is incompatible with human beings, a reverse Kabbalah tree formed by the distortion of spirit and body, and the branches and leaves grow and spread. ”

Abigail, I'm tm two treasures!

The picture reminded him of Abigail's Noble Phantasm.

Abigail, the female victim of the witch trial in history, appears as a character in FGO who is connected to the otherwise unrelated Cthulhu Mythos.

A simple analogy is like adding the Diao Chan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to the background of a goddess of European mythology, saying that Diao Chan itself is actually an Egyptian goddess.

Speaking of Egyptian goddesses...... The Qin people remembered one thing.

That is, the prototype of the snake woman.

Judging by the skill of petrified gaze, there is no doubt that it is the Medusa of Greek mythology.

However, the corresponding Egyptian mythology also has a snake goddess.

Wajit, the patron god of Upper Egypt, the guardian of Pharaoh and Horus.

Image 1: A sacred serpent surrounds the sun and has a talisman of life hanging from its neck.

Image 2: Cobra in front of Horus, guarding Horus.

Sometimes she is also described as a woman with two snake heads, and sometimes with a human head and a snake body.

It stands to reason that the snake woman should correspond to the snake goddess Wadjit, but Wadgit does not have a description of petrifying others.

It is probably the product of a mixture of Egyptian mythology and Greek mythology.

……

On the other side, a man with short blue and black hair was looking at Qin Ren.

At first, he thought that the other party was just like everyone else, just a hypocritical spectator who pretended to understand.

But......

Those words!

What a rich connotation!

You can see such a view from that painting!

Kitagawa Yusuke walked over with an excited expression, came to Qin Ren's side in the surprised eyes of Ryuji Sakamoto and Morgana, and said in a loud voice:

"Hello! I ......"

As soon as the word "I" came out of his mouth, Yusuke Kitagawa stopped, this look!

This look! It's thinking! It's a taste of inspiration!

He's contemplating! He's contemplating!

And that's not all! There is something else to gain!
