In the days before cameras, artists often used some optical means to help them complete their paintings.

For example, the content to be painted is projected onto the canvas in the darkroom through the principle of small hole imaging, and then the image is used to paint on the canvas.

Advanced artists can use this method to quickly create a portrait about the size of an A4 paper.

People who are fighting and traveling abroad often carry a portrait of their family members to ease their longing for their families.

Here in Knowledge City, there are also many students who have not returned home for many years to draw such a portrait and send it home.

After the bell rang, Mira stood up from the model's seat, moved her hands and feet, which were a little stiff from being immobile for a long time, and then rubbed her face, which had lost a little in order to maintain a smiling expression.

It was the first time she had painted a portrait outside, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

She walked out of the modeling room and into the lounge area off the gallery lobby to wait for the artist in the darkroom to put the finishing touches on her portrait.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Your Majesty. Mira said to a handsome young man of about eighteen years old sitting in the lounge.

"It doesn't matter. Alston I replied with a smile, "It's all said that it's good to call me Auston usually." ”

Then he pointed to a wrapped package about one meter long and half a meter wide next to him and said, "I have already asked people to wrap the oil painting you bought." ”

Looking at the oil painting wrapped in silk, Mira was a little helpless, the packaging was more expensive than the oil painting itself.

Why is this happening, I originally wanted to buy a gift to congratulate my friend on moving to a new house, but I went back and forth to paint a portrait of myself.

But the thought that this portrait was meant to be reserved for Charles as a souvenir made Mira's heart relieved.

Soon, the artist walked out of the darkroom with two identical portraits about the size of A4 paper and came to Mira's side.

The painter handed the portrait to Mira, "Miss, your portrait is ready, please choose the one you are happy with." ”

Mira looked at the two paintings in the artist's hand and saw that they were perfect. He looked at the painter, then at Auston I, who was standing aside, and sighed in his heart.

Mila and Charles's mother, Winnie, was originally a first-class painter, so Mila also had a certain appreciation for painting under the influence of her mother.

Judging from the standard of these two portraits, if the painter in front of her had not been the royal painter of the Kingdom of Relic that Auston I had hired as a to, she would have thrown Charles into the sea to feed the fish.

In the end, Mira chose one of the paintings, and then Auston I said to her, "I think this painting is very good, and it is a pity for the painter to destroy it, I don't think it is as good as ......"

"Why don't you give it to Sister Momiji. ”

A voice interrupted Auston I's last "give it to me", and then a small paw reached over and took the portrait.

"Hmmm......"

Charles looked at his sister's portrait and said, "Although it is with the help of a dark room, it is not bad, it has the level of Lady Verry when she was young." ”

Then he said, "How much does this painting cost?"

When the painter saw his own king giving him a look, he said proudly, "My work is very expensive. ”

The next moment he almost fell to his knees.

Charles took out the blue card given by Aunt Leif, "All money is not a problem, can you swipe the card of the Chaowei Blue Dragon Foundation here?"

As one of the top handful of artists in the mainland, this artist has worked with dragons, so he knows the value of this card.

But the king's order must be completed, he thought for a moment, and said, "Recently, a very precious blue dye has appeared......

Before the painter finished speaking, Charles immediately took out a brick-sized "Sea Blue", "Sky Blue" and "Dream Blue" special crystals from the storage ring, and stuffed them into the artist's arms.

"Is that enough?" Charles asked, "if there is more, let's draw a portrait of the mother and daughter together." ”

As soon as Charles finished speaking, a pair of heroic mother and daughter were pulled out from behind him.

If he didn't know who this troublemaker was at this time, Auston I could have caught a slime and killed him, and didn't see Mira crying over there. He glanced at the painter, and then the painter obediently took the order.

Artoria dragged Mordred and followed the artist to the modeling room, and Auston I left the space for Mila and Charles, but when he was about to leave, he heard Charles's voice coming, "Sister, you have to remember that those who pursue you before you are sixteen are perverts." ”

Mira hugged Charles hard, tears rolling in her eyes.

Charles felt as if his sister was a lot stronger, and he had to gently pat Mila on the back to make her relax.

Fortunately, Auston I cleared the venue in order to pick up girls, and now only Charles and his two siblings are in the hall of the gallery.

By the time Artoria and Mordred came out of the modeling room, Charles and Mira had already sat down and talked for a while.

Then Charles introduced them.

Upon learning that Artoria was a knight of her family, Mira saluted her and said, "My brother will be taken care of by you." ”

"That's my job. Artoria returned a knightly salute.

Mordred hid behind Artoria, not knowing how to face the strange sister.

Charles said to Mira, "Sister, now let's go to Grandma, I haven't seen Grandma for a long time." ”

Mira shook her head, "Grandma went back not long ago because of an urgent matter at home, and I'm the only one waiting for you here." ”

Charles was shocked, feeling like something big was about to happen.

Then Mira stood up and smiled at Charles, and they said, "It's just so that today I'm going to visit a friend's house, come and get together, and this friend will definitely welcome you." ”

"Male or female?" said Charles, immediately alerted.

It's just that Mira looked at Charles a little strangely, and she said, "You'll know when you go with me." ”

After the portraits of Artoria and Mordred were painted, Charles followed Mira out of the gallery, and the packaged painting that Mila had bought was put into a storage ring.

Although Mira didn't say who she was going to, Charles didn't think it would be good to go empty-handed, so he bought a fruit basket as a gift. On this island, fruit is still quite expensive.
