After determining that the next clue left by Count Salvin may be at the Gate of Tang Huaiser, Yu Lian once again systematically checked various historical materials of Duke Tang Huaiser's family.

This is indeed a famous family with a long history, and its ancestors have produced the chief minister and marshal of the Privy Council, the governor of the star district, the chief knight of the astral plane, and the senator. However, due to some historical reasons that have little to do with our story, they have stepped aside in modern times, and even because they can't pay the tribute, they have to return the territories that belong to the empire mainland to the Dawn Royal. If it weren't for the fact that they finally had two planets left in the Runa system, I am afraid that even the status of nobility would have been lost.

Fortunately, the successive gods and monarchs of the Dawn Royal were still very tolerant of some issues that did not involve practical matters. Since the Tang Wheather family handed over their native territory and instantly degenerated into "country lords", the royal family did not mind that they continued to retain the noble title of "duke".

The famous Earl of Salvin and the "country lord" Duke Don Wyser don't seem to have too direct intersections. As a result, Yu Lian went directly to the database of the Imperial Heraldic Academy and began to consult its vast local chronicles.

Anyway, these materials are not classified information, and the citizens of the empire can enter and consult them as long as they pay some money.

Although Yu Lian was not a citizen of the empire, he was a ...... of the sea Ranger, isn't it reasonable to steal the identity information of one or two citizens of the Empire?

During the lifetime of Count Salvin, the Duke of Don Wyser was replaced by three people, one of whom was named Calsa II, who was about the same age as Count Salvin, and was a very famous local lord, and an industrialist with some skill and ability. At the same time, he is also a well-known art collector and critic.

Such an experience is too easy to make people think about it, and Yu Lian carefully examines the life of this Duke of Calza. His Excellency the Duke, when he was young, heard that he also showed the characteristics of a psychic sensitive, but unfortunately when he was carrying out the awakening ceremony, he overturned the car directly due to irregular operation, and not only did he not become a superman, but he also became a half-cripple, and he couldn't even enter the army and officialdom.

However, this Duke of Calsa II was indeed a very inspirational person. Although he was disabled, he was still admitted to the top Shengchen University in the empire, and he happened to be an alumnus of the same year as Earl Salvin......

This was all that Calsa II had with Count Salvin. You know, the former is a business school, and the latter is a biology and environment school. It's a completely different style of painting.,At most, it's probably a friendship that nods to each other at a student party.。

After graduating, the young duke went home to farm, and indeed managed the territory of the two planets very well. He founded the sea park that is now famous in the galaxy on New Seville.

As for Earl Salvin, of course, he continued to rush forward on the road of being a young man who was not doing his job properly but was good at everything, and since then he has been out of control.

A "country" lord who did not have much prestige, and Count Salvin, the galactic figure at the time, theoretically had no special intersection. Oh, by the way, Carlsa II published a monograph on art criticism. There are several articles that praise Salvin's paintings, saying that the latter is a true genius, and that if you focus a little more, it will go down in history in the history of art in the universe.

The above is all the intersection of these two that can be found so far.

Do you think I believe it or not? Yu Lian's gaze swept over the study, lingering on a large oil painting hanging behind the desk for a few more minutes.

It is one of the most famous buildings in the galaxy, one of the landmarks of the Empire's capital, the National Assembly Hall.

In the sphere of influence of the empire, it was even called the "Temple of the Gods" by many vassal states with expressions of fear and longing.

The technique of painting is quite outstanding, so that the whole painting looks like an architectural photograph.

Yu Lian pondered for a moment, thoughtful. He was just about to derive his psionic energy when he felt the sound of approaching, slightly staggering footsteps behind him.

He turned around, and immediately saw an old gentleman who was very old. has gorgeous hair, but it is meticulously combed; The figure is a little thin, but the formal suit is extremely neat, and there is no wrinkle in sight.

The old man smiled a little stiffly and generously, and said, "That's the handwriting left by His Excellency Culsar II...... Captain, if you're interested, you can take a closer look. ”

"Mr. Curator." The security guard objected in a tone that was not too tough, but the old man shook his hand: "Captain Yu Lian is a special commissioner of the central government, and he came to the memorial hall to pay homage, can he still steal cultural relics?" ”

What a kind old man! It's the first time we've met, but I've known each other for a long time. Yu Lian looked at the other party quietly, then nodded and smiled: "Yes!" If I really liked it, I would just say it. ”

The old man known as the "curator" was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "You are really an upright person, and you are really different from the previous ones. I remember that last time a central commissioner came here and took a fancy to a jade ornament left on the Duke's Palace, but he didn't even give him any money. ”

The two security guards had already recovered from Fang Cai's trance, probably directly from being frightened, and directly showed a restless look.

"Hehe, of course it's a joke......" The old curator directly opened the fence at the gate and made an inviting gesture: "Then, please come and have a look." To be honest, the whole building is more noisy, and there is still a bit of a style according to the times. I welcome all those who are interested in the history of that year. ”

Yu Lianwang looked at this old gentleman who could be buried at any time, but still tried his best to maintain his demeanor, and decided not to refuse the other party's kindness.

The old man claimed to be Belouf Manton, the director of this independent museum, but this age was no longer suitable for heavy work, and the operation of the entire museum was already presided over by the deputy director sent by the government.

However, the old man Beluf was a historian of some repute, and he was still a little popular in New Seville, so he has remained in office until now. During the reign of the Empire, he once served as an assistant butler in the palace of the Duke of Tang Huaiser, and he can be regarded as the most familiar person with this mansion among the people in the world.

Well, that's a relic. But after all, it was an old man who was about to enter the earth, and he behaved very friendly, so Yu Lian decided to continue to be polite.

The old curator enthusiastically explained: "His Excellency Calsa was a very insightful art critic, but he left only this one of his works, which has been hanging in this study ever since...... In fact, the level of the painting is average, the technique is almost perfect, but that's it, it's not infectious, and it's not valuable! ”

Yu Lian agreed. "Painted like a photograph" is not a compliment in a sense.

"That's why it's hanging here all the time, and no one touches it." Old man Beluff said again.

"However, there are quite a few excellent works in his collection, as well as those of the dukes! If you're interested, you're in the wrong place. Some of these were sent to Earth, and a small number were in the annex in the East Wing. I turned it into a small art gallery. ”

His face was old, except for a pair of eyes that were very bright and showed an expectant expression.

Yu Lian looked at the two security guards and saw that they all showed "sure enough" expressions, and then tried his best to hold back a poker face that he hadn't seen or heard anything. He probably guessed what was going on, and immediately decided to do the same: "Then, I'll trouble you." ”

The old curator did not take Yu Lian along the corridor on the third floor to the art museum in the east wing annex next to it, but went directly to his office.

The director's office belonging to the old man is very simple, with desks, cabinets, and some small ornaments that are a bit literati. The only slight disobedience was a full-length mirror in the corner of the office, facing the desk.

However, considering that the old curator is an old gentleman who is meticulous in the details of his dressing, he probably needs to organize his clothes at any time, and it is not surprising to have a mirror.

After Yu Lian sat down, he first got Yu Lian a glass of good quality red wine, and said a few words of greeting, and then took out a small painting scroll from the cabinet next to him.

His face twitched, and it seemed to be a little painful, but he still held it in both hands.

"This is ......" Yu Lian probably guessed that this kind of thing would happen, but he really didn't expect such an unfolding method.

"Dragon's Wings Offshore, 246, Salon's masterpiece." He replied.

You don't have to look at him to know that this should be the collection here.

Of course, out of politeness, he still opened it and glanced at it, and in an instant, it was a Titan ship swimming in the galaxy, the composition and color were quite impactful, and it could be regarded as a masterpiece.

"So, what does that mean?"

"Of course, the people of New Seville, a little bit of your heart." The old man laughed.

"Well, this is actually the mission given to the old decay by the galactic government and the garrison command. After all, you represent the will of the earth, and the local military and political leaders need you to be happy to survive this term. Some people love money, some people are lustful, and some people are ...... is more literate. ”

"It's good if you just say that I'm vassal!" Yu Lian smiled.

The old man smiled helplessly: "...... Therefore, in the face of different commissioners, there are different ways to deal with them, and they have all been concluded. ”

"Well, how many of my type have been out? Is there enough here? Yu Lian asked again.

"As far as I know, it's only three times, and I've given out a total of ten things. Don't worry, the Duke's family's collection is still quite rich, and it can still be maintained. Speaking of this, the old man smiled bitterly and said, "Now you understand why I want to make an art museum, right?" You have to hang up some important collections, and the people on it will not be able to do it. ”

"In the past, when the Duke was still there, he often took some valuable collections to the Heavenly Domain...... Well, socialize. ”

After all, the old man used to be a retainer of Duke Tang Huaiser, and he finally didn't say the phrase "running official".

"The great nobles of the Celestial Empire at least really have appreciation and aesthetics, as well as the ability to maintain masterpieces. But those big people from the earth...... Oh, forget it, it's better to give it to you than to give it to someone else. At the very least, I can see that you are a truly tasteful and cultured knight, and the former dukes will actually be happy. ”

It is understandable that the old and the young are nostalgic for the previous dynasty, and they can always find the so-called theoretical basis.

"How do you know that I will be the one you call a so-called cultured and tasteful knight?" Yu Liandao.

The old man asked, "So, are you?" ”

Yu Lian was noncommittal, and continued to maintain a polite but seemingly informative smile.

"I think you must be!" The old man Beruf said categorically: "If you are not, the military and political officials here will be very uncomfortable. That makes it even more uncomfortable for this museum, the staff, and me, an old guy who just wants to keep as much of his possessions as possible before he dies. ”

Yu Lian calmly shoved the scroll into his left hand, and then disappeared.

Faced with such a very unscientific scene, the old curator couldn't help but show a shocked look: "Uh, the ...... in your hand"

Yu Lian looked at his hand, and on his left index finger was a thimble "Ring of Pamino", and on his thumb was an unknown metal wrench.

"The psionic treasures that have been scooped up from the black market have only one storage function so far. After all, I am also a central commissioner, so I have to pay attention to the impact. You should understand this, right? Yu Lian asked.

The old man nodded, still staring at the ring on Yu Lian's hand, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"I heard you're also a deadly connoisseur? Why don't you help me palm my eyes? ”

Old Mr. Belluff was really not polite at all, and really took the ring, played with it for a while, and then returned it to Yu Lian.

His hands, the ring in his hand, did not leave Yu Lian's sight the whole time.

"I always felt like I had seen it somewhere...... When the old duke was still there, he collected some psionic treasures, hoping that he could find an opportunity to awaken himself, or future generations. After all, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I really know what treasures I have? The old curator looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head: "...... However, the pattern on this treasure is a bit like a totem of the Lumina people, and you might be able to explore that aspect. ”

Three times! Yu Lian said to himself, but he said gratefully: "Thank you very much!" ”

Yu Lian walked out of the office and quietly opened the terminal, finding that five minutes had passed. He shrugged his shoulders, feeling that his bad taste and bad intentions were about to overflow, and he managed to endure it and leave with brisk steps.

He was actually excited to get a famous painting worth at least 10 million! It's true!
