Chapter 440: Lin Lei and Diali's works debut!
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the end of May.
For more than two months, Lin Lei spent most of his daily time meditating, and part of his time 'carving' and reading books. The library of the Ernst Academy has a large number of books, and the scope of Lin Lei's knowledge is constantly expanding.
On the morning of May 29th.
Lin Lei, Yale, Renault, and George stood on the square in front of the Purus Hall, and there were three wooden boxes on the carriage next to them.
"You carry these three wooden boxes." Yale commanded.
Some of the Yale servants immediately lifted each of the three wooden boxes.
"Third child, follow me." Yale was obviously familiar with the path, and walked directly to the side of the Purus Hall, which occupies an extremely large area, and there is an inconspicuous door about a few hundred meters next to the main entrance, and a middle-aged man dressed in gentlemanly clothes is standing at the door.
When the middle-aged man saw Yale and several people coming over, he immediately walked over with a smile, smiled and saluted, "Young Master Yale, welcome to you." ”
Yale smiled and nodded: "You should know the purpose of my visit, this is my good brother Lin Lei, these three stone carvings are his, what about you people from the warehouse of the Prux Hall, move these three wooden boxes into it quickly." ”
"Wait a minute." The middle-aged man smiled and nodded.
Soon, a few porters came over in the passage, and the middle-aged man smiled at Lin Lei and said, "Young Master Lin Lei, according to the rules of our Prux Inn. You have to leave your identity information, you just need to record it with my student ID card at the ERNST Academy. ”
Student ID card at Ernst College. Enough to prove identity.
Lin Lei took out his student ID from his arms.
The middle-aged man took the student ID card and opened it, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. Looking up at Lin Lei in surprise: "Fifth grade? "Lin Lei's age can be seen at a glance, but reaching the level of a fifth-level magician at such a young age is indeed shocking enough.
Yale couldn't help but say proudly: "My brother, but one of the two peerless geniuses of our Ernst Academy, he was only fourteen years old last year, and he reached the level five magician realm in the end-of-school test. ”
Two peerless geniuses at the Ernst Academy?
The middle-aged man immediately understood in his heart that the future achievements of this Lin Lei in front of him were limitless, and his attitude was immediately much more humble. Record Lin Lei's identification. Three more wooden crates were marked.
"Young Master Lin Lei, everything is fine, as long as Young Master Lin Lei comes over again in a month to receive some remuneration." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"A month later? I don't have time in a month, it's okay to postpone it for two or three months, right? Lin Lei asked. In a week or two, Lin Lei was ready to set off for the Magic Mountain Range, and it took almost two months to enter the Demon Beast Mountain Range this time.
"Don't worry, as long as your work is sold, you can get paid whenever you come." The middle-aged man nodded and said.
Yale frowned and said, "Huh? What's going on, I remember that in the past, you collected stone carvings to check the interior. Why didn't you check it this time? ”
The middle-aged man said: "When we inspect the inside of the wooden box, we are worried that some people will send the broken stone carvings over, and if we don't check them, they may end up saying that the stone carvings were damaged by our hall." Instead, they blackmailed the association. However, these three stone carvings were given by Young Master Yale and Young Master Lin Lei, and I believe that young Master Yale, characters like you would not do that kind of thing. ”
The middle-aged man knew this very well in his heart.
Who is Yale?
Will blackmail the Purux Clan? The little money that was blackmailed. I'm afraid it's not enough for Yale to consume at will. As for the creator of the stone carving, 'Lin Lei', he is known as one of the two peerless geniuses of the Ernst Academy. This kind of character would lower his status to do blackmail and that kind of thing?
……
"Lin Lei's stone carvings have been sent to the Prux Hall, are you ready?" Li Amen asked with a smile.
Delia looked nervous. He asked, "Can I do these works?" I always feel a little unreliable. ”
"Don't worry, although you have not learned stone carving for a long time, these works are enough." Li Amen smiled, "With your family's strength, you will definitely be very happy to know that you can carve stones, and you will also help you negotiate with the Prux Clan." ”
That's right, if the average person can't reach a certain level, how can they put the stone carving into the Prulx Hall? Unless you have reached a certain level of fame, you have this qualification.
Therefore, this world is very realistic, and if it weren't for Lin Lei's good brother help, his works would not have been able to reach the Purux Hall so easily.
It's just that in reality, if you don't let the stone carvings exhibit in a place like the Prux Hall, and just trade your own stone carving works through ordinary means, you can imagine how fast the fame will be.
Therefore, even for Delia, if she wants to place her stone carvings in the Prux Hall, she must do so through her own family power.
This is actually just a small thing.
With her identity, it's just a matter of words.
The only trouble is that she, a delicate girl in everyone's eyes, learned such a thing as stone carving.
If you can't explain it clearly, it's going to be troublesome.
Therefore, although Delia knew this, she was still a little hesitant.
"I know what you're worried about, you're afraid you won't be able to explain it to your family, right?" Li Amen smiled, "Don't worry, you don't need to say anything. You just need to tell your family that the teacher taught you, and then smile mysteriously, and then they will make up their own brains and guess by themselves. ”
"Is that okay?" Delia wondered.
"Of course." Li Amen said with a smile, "The most powerful thing in this world is other people's brains, otherwise why would there be such a thing as rumors?" It is because everyone has made up for things that rumors will appear. ”
Delia nodded as if she didn't understand, and then decided to do so.
So, after Lin Lei. One of Delia's stone carvings was also sent to the Prux Hall.
That's right, Delia also has only one work.
After all. On the one hand, she has only been learning stone carving for a short time, and on the other hand, she is not very confident. As a result, among the only two works that she is somewhat satisfied with, only the one that satisfies her the most was finally selected.
Why? Aren't you afraid of losing face in front of Lin Lei?
Exhibiting with Lin Lei's works, if the grades are too bad, it will really be humiliating.
That's what Delia thought.
Still, how could she have imagined.
If Lin Lei knew that she could carve stones, no matter what her level was, she would definitely be shocked.
Who would have imagined that a delicate woman like Delia would be very well-behaved in front of others, how could she do such rough work as stone carving?
Almost all stone carvings are hard work. It's all made by men, and I've never heard of a master stone carver coming from a woman.
It's not that there isn't, but it's really too little.
No one would believe that Delia was one of them, and whatever her work was, it was amazing if she dared to try.
……
The sound of music that resounded throughout the hall was like a babbling stream flowing through people's hearts, and the visitors in the hall quietly watched each stone carving.
The hall is mainly divided into three exhibition halls, the ordinary exhibition hall, the master exhibition hall, and the master exhibition hall.
Among them, the general exhibition hall has the largest area and the largest number of stone carvings on display. In the northeast corner of the general exhibition hall, there are a series of three works, these three works have a very special temperament, as long as you study the stone carving, you will feel that special temperament.
However, there are more than 10,000 stone carvings in the ordinary exhibition hall. These three works are like a needle in the sea, and it is difficult for people to notice.
"Most of these works have an empty form, but no substance."
Count Juno, who was now over one hundred and sixty years old, was walking slowly through the halls of the Purux Hall. His gaze swept over the stone carvings. Count Juno had no other hobbies than stone carving. He spent a morning in the Purux Hall every day.
However, in the ordinary exhibition hall. There are too few works that can make Count Juno's eyes light up.
"Lord Earl, what do you value stone carvings?" A beautiful waitress walked over next to her. Because Count Juno came every day, some of the service staff at the Purux Hall were also very familiar with Count Juno.
Count Juno shook his head and smiled, "I haven't found it yet." ”
"Lord Earl, the works in this ordinary exhibition hall are far inferior to the works in the master exhibition hall and the master exhibition hall, why do you spend most of your time in this ordinary exhibition hall every day?" The waitress asked curiously.
Count Juno pretended to smile mysteriously and said: "You don't understand this, there are so many works in this ordinary exhibition hall, maybe there are good works everywhere, this feeling of finding gold from the mud and sand, it is very wonderful." ”
"Oh?" The waitress looked at Count Juno with some confusion.
Count Juno didn't say more, and continued to admire the stone carving works one by one, but when he walked in front of Lin Lei's three works, Count Juno couldn't help but light up his eyes, and with his eyes that he had studied stone carving for a hundred years, he could see at a glance the special features of these three works.
"Cold, natural, arrogant......"
Count Juno said involuntarily.
That is a kind of temperament, a stone carving work can be called a masterpiece, what you want is a special temperament. Count Juno immediately felt the cold, arrogant temperament of these three works, and this special temperament immediately moved Count Juno.
"Come here, give me a price, these three works, I will bid 100 gold coins each." Count Juno said directly to the waitress next to him.
The waitress immediately took out the notebook from her bosom with a smile, first recorded the numbers of the three stone carvings and wrote the prices, and then took out three more stickers and pasted them next to the three stone carvings, all of which had '100 gold coins' written on them.
While the waitress was taking notes, Count Juno looked more closely at the three stone carvings.
"Oh, that's not right!" Juno's dim eyes suddenly lit up, staring at one of the stone carvings of a 'velociraptor dragon', "How can the scale carvings on the back of this velociraptor and the outline lines of its legs be so coherent?" It stands to reason that the scale armor should be carved with a round knife, and the leg contour should be carved with a flat knife, even if you are careful, it is impossible to achieve 100% smooth and natural! ”
Juno has been studying stone carvings for a hundred years.
Originally, he was not a wealthy nobleman, but with his unique vision, he collected stone carvings at a low price and sold some at a high price, which also made Count Juno a wealthy man in Finlay City.
"Is it done with a tool? Impossible, the curve of the scales and the degree of depression, except for the round knife, how can other tools achieve such a perfect degree? Juno's brow furrowed deeply, he had never seen such a strange scene before.
"Lord Count?" The waitress next to her couldn't help but whisper when she saw Count Juno like this.
Earl Juno's eyes lit up, and he said secretly in his heart: "I didn't expect to be able to meet such a special work in this ordinary exhibition hall, and people can't notice him, I marked a price of 100 gold coins, which will make some people take a closer look at this work, which may lead to a great increase in the price of this work." ”
Count Juno made a decision at once.
On the last day or two of the exhibition of this work, it is not too late to bid for more.
"You help me withdraw the bid." Count Juno said directly to the waitress next to him.
"Revocation?" The waitress was stunned for a moment, according to the rules, it is not allowed to cancel the bid after bidding, but Count Juno is a regular customer of the Prux Hall, and the waitress still took off the three stickers very simply.
"Dare to ask Lord Earl, why did you revoke it again?" The waitress asked.
Count Juno smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't ask, by the way, let me ask, what is the end date of the exhibition of these three stone carvings?" ”
The waitress carefully flipped through the notebook in her hand before she said with a smile: "The last day of the exhibition of these three stone carvings is June 30th. These three works were also moved here for exhibition just yesterday afternoon. ”
Count Juno nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll take a look around, you're busy." Count Juno said with a smile.
Count Juno was secretly pleasantly surprised in his heart, in his opinion, the real price of each of these three stone carvings should reach about three thousand gold coins. Because the work of the average master is about 1,000 gold coins. And these three stone carving works, each of which has a special carving technique. This special engraving technique alone can triple the price of the work.
"Huh? How can there be so many people over there? "Count Juno suddenly noticed an anomaly.
He hurriedly ran over and found that some people here were surrounding a stone carving.
"It's natural! It's a miracle of nature, like art. ”
"I've never seen this style before."
Many people were surprised and discussed.
Count Juno took a look at it and was immediately struck by the work.
With his vision, he will still be attracted by Lin Lei's works, and he is naturally a very discerning person.
So, Count Juno was also completely captivated by this work.
It was a round ball, but there were various reliefs on its surface, but it seemed to be natural, as if it was born on it.
These reliefs are some famous landscapes that everyone recognizes.
The peculiar thing is that such a ball and these reliefs are too harmonious as a whole, which makes people feel comfortable when they look at it.
In an instant, Count Juno compared the previous three works of Lin Lei with this one.
Perhaps, although the work in front of me seems to have shortcomings, it has not reached its limit.
However, such a cohesive fit is its greatest value, and the shortcomings of other places can be ignored.
This is a superb stone carving that is better than Lin Lei's three works before, and it can be called an unattainable one. (To be continued......)
