Chapter 2: The Art of Eternity

The pirates who followed Panda ashore to change careers came from an unknown pirate ship, the captain died in the battle that attacked them, and several elite members of the ship were recruited by Gree, who aspired to intercept Captain Jack and become the pirate king as an adventurer, and became the crew of his strange super-clipper "Flying".

The rest, of course, are ordinary sailors, both in terms of sailing skills and combat skills.

In the Western Continent, learning culture is more expensive than learning martial arts, and many adventurers are illiterate, or can only recognize dozens of simple words. Of course, pirates like this can't be literate. The only person on the pirate ship who could read was a mediocre magician - he was also on the Flying.

In other words, among the group of people brought by the panda, there is not even a single literate person.

Illiteracy isn't a problem, but it's kind of weird to learn art if you can't read.

Generally speaking, artists are scholars, because if you want to learn art, you must read and write. But...... Panda thought about it carefully, and it seemed that no one had to stipulate that artists must be literate. For example, the famous blind man Ah Bing, not to mention reading and writing, he can't even see directly, he is also a famous artist.

So he thought for a moment and asked, "What art are they studying? music?"

"Fine arts. The guy replied, "They study fine arts at the Eternal Academy of Art." ”

Panda noddedβ€”to learn art, you don't need to read and write, and although it sounds strange that a painter can't read, it's not impossible.

"Where's that 'eternal art'?" he asked again.

The guy hesitated for a moment and introduced: "Get out of here, turn left, go through four intersections, then turn right again, cross six intersections, pass left again, cross two intersections, turn right again, cross one intersection, and ...... again"

"Stop!" Panda interrupted, "Needless to say, I'll just go out and rent a carriage...... Do the people who hire the wagons know this place?"

"This academy is still famous, I think they should know each other. ”

The panda nodded and walked out of the shop.

There were quite a few horse-drawn taxis carrying passengers in Trella, and he walked for about ten minutes when he saw one on the side of the road. The horse pulling the cart looked a little old, but he was in good spirits, the carriage was very neat, and the coachman was a young man, full of wit.

He consulted with the young man, negotiated the price, and got into the car.

Like the taxi drivers on Earth, the coachmen of this world are also very talkative, and the young man is sure that he is an approachable employer, and he talks a lot, mostly about the sights and anecdotes of Trella.

It's just a famous spot or something, most of the interesting things he said are all kinds of filth in the aristocratic circle - they are generally going around in the lower three ways, either a certain nobleman took an expired aphrodisiac, and as a result, he was carried from the brothel to the temple, or a certain noble lady Hongxing went out of the wall, and the adulterer and her husband duel in the street...... Etcetera.

These things are naturally interesting, but pandas are really not interested.

So he yawned and asked, "Is there a story about the academy of 'Eternal Art'?"

The young man smiled and said: "Of course there is, not long ago there was a Viscount Adabras who wanted to flirt with the models in the academy, but he was coaxed and deceived by others to go on stage to be a model, and then within two days, his full-body paintings were sent all over the street - it's not that I'm rare and weird, his little bird, the shape is really weird, neither straight nor curved, it actually has a twist, like it has been twisted by something in a half circle......"

The panda thought about it, and couldn't help but laugh: "He didn't retaliate?"

"Revenge? How to get revenge? The man took out the magic image of the time, and in the video he was in high spirits, with an exuberant expression, shaking a bird and shouting, 'I want to show my magnificent body to the people of Trella'...... If it hadn't been for a few stout students, he would have been able to rush out and run a few laps in the street. ”

"He's been tricked, right? Maybe it's a hypnotic spell. ”

"Perhaps, but who can tell from the images? So Viscount Adabras had to consider himself unlucky, and spent a lot of money to buy all the paintings. ”

Panda nodded: "It seems that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this academy, and there are many masters!"

"That's for sure, dare to swagger to carry out '**** painting', and no one has been in trouble, there must be powerful people behind it. ”

Speaking of this, the panda was suddenly stunned and asked, "**** painting, what are they drawing?"

"The human body. "Men, women, old people, children...... Both. Of course, the most popular is definitely the pretty girl, but that's just a gimmick. I have a relative who also went to two classes, one class was a fat man who was as fat as a pig, and the other class was a strong man with a lot of scars on his body, and I don't know if it was a strong man who changed careers by Jiang Yang thieves. ”

Panda was stunned again, he thought that the "art" of this academy was just a gimmick, and it betrayed hue in his bones, so it sounded, it seemed that it was still a serious academy of fine arts?

Although he didn't study art, he had seen a lot of **** paintings and bought a body painting album. In the whole album, at most only one-third of them are related to women, many of them are muscular men, or old men, strong vitality or the precipitation of the years, which are vividly expressed in the painters' brushes, and they are very direct to the hearts of the people.

In that album, he was most impressed by a skinny African child. The child, who did not even have clothes, smiled and walked in the sun, obviously very happy, but gave people a feeling of extreme sadness, as if he could hear the painter hiding his face and crying through the drawing paper.

Compared with that painting, the appeal of any beauty is too far behind.

If the "Eternal Art" academy also teaches this kind of painting art, it is not an ordinary high level. So...... Did the pirates who turned ashore really embark on the path of becoming artists?

"It doesn't make sense...... Dozens of people, all of whom have changed careers to become artists?" Panda shook his head and muttered to himself, his heart full of doubts.

It wouldn't be strange if one or two stumbled upon their artistic talent and switched careers to learn painting. But the group of pirates who came ashore were not such a small number of people, dozens of them had changed careers?

If that's the case, what the hell!
