Although he said that he wanted to feel it well, Shen He also didn't know what to do.

If it was Joan of Arc, he would have been running around from shop to shop with great interest at this time.

But the formula......

In the past, even when she was shopping, she mostly just followed him casually without purpose and listlessness.

"What's that?"

Shi suddenly pulled Shen He's hand and pointed to a stall.

"I guess it's a stone carving." Shen He looked in the direction she pointed, "He is a very powerful sculptor." ”

The old man in the stall looked gray, but the hand holding the carving knife was very steady and focused, and a vivid statue of a young girl was slowly forming under the palm of his hand.

And there are already a lot of statues on the stalls, all kinds of things, among which the most human statues.

Even a layman like Shen He can see that each of these statues is natural, the details are real, and they are pleasing to the eye.

Sky City has really gathered a lot of powerful characters in various aspects.

In addition, the painter adjacent to the sculptor attracted Shen He's attention.

Because when the other person is painting, his eyes are looking at himself and others.

"Go see that man's drawing."

Shen He became interested, maybe he was painting himself and others.

"That's an oil painting." Shi glanced at it, and he was not interested, "Oil painting is real, I have never understood, there are already photos, and what is the meaning of painting paintings as photos." ”

"Alas......" Shen He was a little surprised, "I think it's very powerful." ”

To his surprise, the two ceremonies seemed to be interested in the statues.

"The carving is also very good."

Shi directly pulled Shen He and trotted towards the sculptor.

The old man who was carving didn't seem to notice their arrival, his eyes were just focused on his hand, and as the knife flew, the girl's face was formed little by little, and Shen He realized that the other party was carving Violet.

The jade-like white stone has a small padded jacket with distinct lines, two clusters of hair combed on the brain, and delicate doll-like facial features, the carved Violet is lifelike and amazing, making people want to take it back and treasure it at a glance.

Speaking of which, isn't this just a figure?

Shen He's face became a little strange, and he had already paid attention to it in his heart.

I haven't bought a Violet figure before, but it's a good idea to treasure one now.

Finally, the sculptor finished the final stroke, exhaled a long breath, and then handed the white jade stone carving in his hand to Shen He, it seemed that he was not completely unaware of his surroundings.

"Lord Castle, this is my New Year's gift to you."

"Thank you." Shen He didn't refuse, and reached out to take it.

Violet in her arms couldn't help but turn her head to look at the white jade stone carving, the blue pupils covered with golden eyelashes seemed to be flashing with brilliance from the bottom of the sea, but in such a comparison, the statue that was originally very stunning as a work of art was also overshadowed in front of Violet.

"It's one of the finest pieces I've sculpted, but it's a failure." The old man in front of him couldn't help but sigh.

"Why did it fail?" Shen He was a little puzzled.

He liked it very much, and had already decided to put it next to the bed when he returned.

"Statues, especially human figures, should show a sense of beauty that humans don't have." The old sculptor shook his head, "But this work has been compared to a real person, please allow me to describe it this way, the girl next to you is a flawless work carved by God himself, and no mortal can create such a moving aesthetic under any circumstances." ”

"Hahaha." Shen He laughed very happily.

Even if the other party was a little complimentary, he could naturally see that this sentence was the old artist's heart.

Violet looked up at her master, unable to understand what she was happy about, but her bright and seductive red lips curled into a crescent-like smile, and her milky skin was covered with cherry crimson.

"That's it, that's it!"

The old painter next to him suddenly became excited, raised his pen and continued to sketch on the drawing board.

It seems that after today, I will be able to have another portrait in front of my desk.

Shen He was quite satisfied.

However, the two ceremonies did not care about the painter's behavior, her eyes were only fixed on the sculptor in front of her, or rather, at the delicate knife in the sculptor's hand.

"This lady ......" the sculptor noticed the two ceremonial glances and picked up another piece of food from the ground, "I hope to carve a ...... for you if you allow it"

"This knife." The two ceremonies interrupted each other a little impolitely, "Is it okay to use a dagger?" ”

"Dagger?" The old sculptor did not expect that the two ceremonies would ask such a question.

I didn't know what to say.

There is a special carving knife why use a dagger.

The dagger is difficult to control, and there are many fine lines that are difficult to form, which is a common sense problem that even laymen understand.

"Forget it, I'll try it myself."

Shikimi didn't respond, so he simply took a piece of material from the ground, and then drilled a dagger out of his cuff and sharpened it.

She had never seen a carving before, and she didn't know that a knife used to kill people could make such a beautiful and lovely work of art.

That's why Shiki is now interested in engraving.

The old sculptor in front of him stared at the movements of the two ceremonies, and suddenly found that his common sense might need to be changed, because the dagger was reversed in the palm of the two ceremonies, which was extremely flexible, but more importantly, the carved lines did not follow the traces that the dagger should leave at all, and even many times the sharp blades were just close to each other, leaving clear knife marks.

Although the carving technique is still very rough, the technique of using the knife is already a master.

Shen He watched with interest.

He didn't care if he could carve it with a dagger, but it seemed like he was seeing this kind of thing as an exercise in the Eye of Death.

That's right, Shi has already opened the eyes of the Dead Devil.

Such a small and fragile thing is almost everywhere with dead lines, and the slightest touch of it will shatter the entire piece of material.

Burst!

Just as Shen He was thinking, there was a sound like flour smashing, and the materials on Shi's hands turned into dust and scattered.

"Hmm......"

There was no disappointment on Shi's face, and she picked up another piece immediately.

"Let's go back and try again." Shen He smiled bitterly and held her palm, "Now is not the time to do this. ”

"......" hesitated, but still nodded, "Hmm." ”

Most of the time, she does whatever she wants, but if it's Shen He who stops her, that's a different story.

"Let's go see the portrait."

Shen He walked behind the painter with great interest.

As expected, it was Violet who was being drawn by the other party.

But not what she looked like in a New Year's dress.

Instead, she was dressed in a lilac European-style princess dress, which perfectly set off the slender body, and the background seemed to be in a forest full of maple leaves, because there were a few maple leaves that swirled around the girl, and Violet in the painting seemed to look up at the sky in confusion or longing, and that smile ...... That smile!

Shen He's heart was pounding.

Although I had just seen Violet's smile with my own eyes, that smile was placed in this painting at this time, but it seemed that the whole sentence came to life, deeply attracting everyone's attention and entering everyone's heart.

Even the painter was excited, carefully doing the final steps of repair.

He had a hunch that his painting would probably be passed down through the ages, and if the sculptor's creation was an attempt to replicate Violet's beauty, then he was recording and using his life's work to highlight and highlight this God-only aesthetic!

"This painting ......"

Even the two ceremonies had to admit that their understanding of oil painting was too superficial.

But...... She couldn't help but glance at Shen He.

This guy really likes Violet quite a lot.

"Hey, Shen He." A question seemed to flash through his mind for a moment, and Shi asked directly, "Do you like Violet the same as you like me?" ”

"Huh?"

Shen He turned his head, his face was still a little stunned, but then he quickly understood the meaning of the question.

Not jealous, but just curious.

"It's definitely not the same." Shen He shook his head, he continued to look at the portrait in front of him, and said in his mind with a communication channel, "I, I'm a person who will be obsessed with virtual things, even if I know that some beauty is false, but I will yearn for and cherish it more, I think, the emotion for Violet also comes from this, her beauty, her trust in me, are so beautiful that I feel unreal, how can I not like her." ”

Shen He himself had already noticed this.

The older Violet grew, the more it seemed to be a treasure he cherished.

Together with her bonds, it will become his most important asset.

"That's ...... so"

Shi looked at the portrait, and then at Violet.

For Violet, being able to become Shen He's belongings and be cherished is probably the happiest thing.

Speaking of which, she will be close to Violet, perhaps because of this reason, she has no "self" like her past self, the difference is that she is left empty because of the passing of Weaving, while Violet is because her "self" has been completely filled by Shen He.

"It's done!"

The painter excitedly dropped his brush and looked at his work and danced with excitement.

At this time, there were already a lot of people gathered around.

They all looked at this beautiful portrait in amazement, and the person who created it was one of the most brilliant painters in the world, and it is conceivable that it is another treasure of the world like the "smile of the Mona Lisa".

But no one is going to collect or buy it.

Because Shen He is here.

"How do I need to save it?"

Shen He has already notified the robot security guards who are patrolling in Sky City to maintain order.

"After it is completely dry, put it in a sterile room to wipe off the ash layer, and then apply two layers of natural beeswax dissolved in turpentine on the back of the canvas to completely prevent the ......damage caused by the infiltration of humid air," the painter reluctantly looked at his most outstanding work in this life, and at the same time cautiously advised Shen He on how to preserve it.

Violet stood beside Shen He in a daze, I am afraid that she is the only one here who does not understand her beauty.

"Please ask the master to draw another one, and I will buy it at a high price."

"I'm a director of Brewer, and I want to be friends with the master."

"There will be a banquet in the hotel below today, and the master will be invited to enjoy it."

"Master ......"

Many people around are powerful and rich people on the ground, more or less collected**, the original they naturally do not want luxury, but if it is a fake drawn by the same author, it is also very valuable for art collection.

Even if the painter does not paint a fake in order to ensure the value of the original work, his name will be permanently left behind with that painting, and the value of other works will also rise, as is the case with most of the so-called artworks.

These people are doomed to disappointment, though.

Because the figure of Semiramis emerged.

"It's a good drawing." The Empress rarely praised others, and then commanded in an unquestioning tone, "From today on, you are Lone's royal painter, and Lone also needs a portrait that can be passed down through the ages." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The painter looked very grateful.

Although the empress's words sounded too domineering, Sky City was not a feudal society, and the so-called royal painters were more just identity and honor.

Artists, especially those who have reached his level, do not seek wealth at all, but a "name".

Every artist hopes that he will be remembered forever by the entire human civilization like Leonardo da Vinci.

"Master, it's almost time." Semiramis didn't shut up the rest of the people, but Shi Shiran walked in front of Shen He, stretched out his hand and hugged his arm affectionately, and said with a smile, "If you go shopping, you can do it tomorrow, and the next show, if you miss it, you won't have it." ”

"So fast?"

Shen He looked up and found that the sky had indeed darkened.

Originally, he came back late, and Sky City was always moving.

"Okay." Shen He glanced at the two ceremonies and saw that she didn't have any opinions, so he nodded, "Then let's go." ”

He is also very much looking forward to the show that Semiramis is talking about.

Somewhat surprisingly, Semiramis did not drag him to the central palace of the Sky Garden, but walked unhurriedly in the other direction with his arm around him, as if he were a close couple.

"Master, this is called Kazoo Flute, it's been around since that time, do you want to blow it to you?"

"Is this tequila rheinland one of the most expensive wines of our time? Lonely ...... What the? Master, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, it's just a luxurious taste that Lone enjoys. ”

"Diamonds can't compare to Lone's beauty, is this necklace suitable for Lone, Master?"

"This, and these, all sent to the palace......"

In less than half an hour, Shen He seemed to have passed half a century, although he was soft and jade, but on the one hand, he had to resist the temptation brought by the empress's indifferent physical contact, on the other hand, he had to appease the expression that seemed to have been robbed of something important and wanted to kill, and on the other hand, he had to take care of Violet, who was extraordinarily clingy today, even with his physical strength, he felt haggard and haggard, as if he had been squeezed dry.
