Chapter 200: The Sorrow of Ritaris
The carriage of the "Curator ......" stopped in front of a grand manor, and a dignified waiter opened the door from the left and saluted respectfully to the few people inside.
"Kvern, they're all guests I've invited to dinner, and I'll take them to rest for a while. I'm going to get ready for tonight's feast. ”
Yan Yan smiled gently at Xue Ren in front of him, "You just follow Ke Wei around the courtyard first, and if you have anything, you can tell him." Don't be in a hurry, the dinner will start soon. ”
Xue Ren also responded politely, he naturally wouldn't feel bored now that he was by his side, but he just felt that time passed too quickly.
"It's good for the curator to prepare for his own affairs, I've always wanted to visit the curator's collection, but unfortunately I haven't had a chance, but now the opportunity has come by itself. Xue Ren stepped out of the carriage and Kewill on the side bent respectfully to him.
Liu Nian was dressed in ice blue snow and stepped on the plank, and Xue Ren supported her and jumped down.
Boro followed, saying that he had already left first, and Boro stood in front of the door of the manor and exclaimed, "Why is this house so big?
"Not that many, there are less than fifty waiters, maids, cleaners, and gardeners in this manor combined. There was no ostentatious hint in Kwill's tone, but it was also devoid of any other emotion.
He was only explaining to Boro out of his duty.
"Less than 50 people live in a big house of a few hundred. Boro couldn't understand it even more, considering that there were many people outside the city who were homeless, and there was not even a place to sleep.
"Most of the houses are filled with the curator's collection, especially the humanoid statues, each of which has its own room. Kwill walked quickly in front of the men and pushed the large iron door open in front of him.
"The gentleman just said he wanted to visit, and I can show you the way now. Once everyone had passed through the gate, Kvern reclosed it with ease and dexterity.
"Please follow me. ”
Boro walked through this large and surprising manor, and the space here seemed to be much larger than the lake on the first floor of the Peony Pavilion, but there were thousands of people in the Peony Pavilion every day who wanted to rest and eat there.
And now this place is inhabited by less than fifty people, and it is also full of all kinds of flowers and plants. Obviously, these flowers and plants can still grow in winter, and you can't even feel the cold when you walk here.
Xue Ren stopped, and the other three followed, looking at the nude statue carved from ash stone beside the cobblestone path.
Her body was covered only by a white stone cloth in her private parts, and she held a copper chalice in both hands, which seemed to be an embellishment that had been added later.
"This Holy Grail was added by Curator Yan?" Xue Ren stared at the vivid expression portrayed by the woman, and he saw desire in those empty eyes.
And that chalice may also be the rumored cup of heavenly water, and it is said that drinking the water in the cup can obtain the power of the gods even if it is a mortal.
"It's true that the curator asked for it, but I don't understand the deep meaning of it. Perhaps something was already seen in the eyes of a few guests. ”
Boro looked dazed, and the passing years on the side seemed to think of something.
"The sorrow of Ritaris," Xue Ren said lightly, "I once saw it in a certain myth and legend. ”
"The sorrow of Ritaris?" Boro repeated with difficulty, "Is this a person's name?"
"Ritalis is a pure maiden from the time of ancient humans. Liu Nian looked at Boro on the side, "Don't you know?"
"Never heard of it. ”
Kwell laughed, and his smile seemed to have been specially trained to remove some of the bad emotions of those he met.
"I haven't heard of this legend either, and it seems that the two of you do understand. ”
Liu Nian looked at the woman in front of him, "This can no longer be called a girl, shouldn't the prototype of Ritalis in mythology be a girl?
She couldn't understand that
But that doesn't mean that Xue Ren doesn't know either," Retalis was fascinated by the contents of the Heavenly Grail after seeing it, even though she was originally young and beautiful, blindly approaching the Holy Grail, causing her body to begin to age rapidly, and the only way to reverse all this was to drink the divine water. ”
Xue Ren raised his hand and pointed to the palm of the sculptural figure, "I have to say that the sculptor who carved her is a genius, although the myth story has no ending in the end, it only leaves the world with a lot of free space for speculation, but his creator embodies all his ideas here." ”
Boro looked in the direction that Xue Ren was pointing, where was the woman's palm and her body that had first touched the Holy Grail.
Her palms had collapsed, even the back of her hands and the epidermis on her wrists had become wrinkled, and the rest of her body had aged to varying degrees with her distance from the Holy Grail. ”
Xue Ren hesitated for a moment, he didn't intend to say it in front of Liu Nian, but art is just art, and there are no more yin and evil thoughts in it.
The only piece of fabric in the whole body is also compared with the bare upper body, on one side is the shameless debauchery, and on the other side there is still the chastity of the girl who guards the body like jade, just a piece of cloth, but it attracts the reverie of others. ”
"Just like a beautiful young girl, she can always unconsciously attract the affection of men. Xue Ren finally turned around to the convective year, obviously this sentence was not all about answering the statue
Boro wasn't interested in the two men around him. Kerwill asked, "Is there water in this cup now?"
"There was a heavy snowfall half a month ago, and I think there must be divine water in this chalice now. ”
Bouro naturally knows that this so-called divine water is fake, just as the so-called myths and legends are also fake.
But the white god he knows will never be fake, because he has seen the real existence before.
Although Liu Nian understood Xue Ren's thoughts, she didn't understand at all, and just smiled at him gently: "Master Xue Ren is not a loss, and he is the most outstanding in art among the younger generation in the Imperial City. Even this kind of thing can be answered one by one, and Liu Nian deeply admires it. ”
"Even if I don't say this, I will find out sooner or later with the wisdom of the passing years. I'm just telling Boro," Xue Ren took Boro out and used it as his shield.
Liunian just looked at Boro and didn't say anything. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Looking for the Flower Spirit Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
