Chapter 189: Expensive Famous Paintings
Hu Tao is a combat genius, with excellent talent, for any martial arts, he can comprehend very quickly, Downton is worse than others, maybe worse, but compared to most people, they can't even see his back.
Little Lori refused to admit defeat, crossed the abomination meat shield, carried the axe, and slashed towards the constructed armor, the more she fought, the more impatient she became, and then she forgot about the Heavenly Martial Arts, and began to rely on brute force to attack and attack.
Homer sighed when she saw it, this is the gap, Hu Tao is too uncalm, and her liliang is too big enough to cope with most situations, so when she is in trouble, she will instinctively use brute force.
If the enemy garbage is okay, if you run into Downton, it is definitely a big flaw.
On the other hand, Downton is becoming more and more proficient in the use of Heavenly Martial Arts.
Another Heaven Shine, Downton appeared in front of the next Construct Armor, followed by a Heavenly Burst.
The saber slashed at the structure, and the magic poured down, blasting it away.
Bang, the two behind were just about to rush up, but they lost their balance and rolled into a ball.
Downton's right sword was withdrawn, his left sword slashed out, and a giant seal fell from the sky and slashed at them.
The strength of these constructs is also around the fifth order of the soul, and with the assistance of Abomination and Serex, they really don't pose any threat.
Hu Tao pursed her mouth, watching Downton's gorgeous attack, she felt that her attack was like an ugly duckling, too ugly.
"Yes, very good. The Demonflame text flickered, praising Downton.
During the battle, Downton's movements were dazzling and elegant, as if he was dancing a court dance, no matter how dangerous the situation was, he would not show nervousness, a handsome face, always a calm expression with the corners of his mouth pursed.
"If you can only choose one apprentice. I'll pick Downton!"
Hu Tao's combat talent is very good, but the overall quality is not as good as Downton, this one is almost an all-rounder, in terms of potions, combat, and intelligence, he is destined to have great growth potential, of course. If you are greedy and can't chew it, he may also achieve nothing.
Seeing this, Hu Tao's mouth pursed, endured and endured, but still didn't hold back, and hot tears flowed down.
"Don't listen to Homer's nonsense, if it were me, I would definitely choose you. Downton glared at Homer reproachfully, and hurriedly comforted little Lori. "You said that you have an ancient magic book, you have lived for tens of thousands of years, and you are making a little Lori cry, is it interesting?"
"I'm trying to motivate her to be okay, so that she doesn't be arrogant!" Homer is also a talent, and if Hu Tao is a real fool, he doesn't bother to care.
"Hmph, Homer is a big badass. It's still the best big brother. Hu Tao pouted, sticking out her little tongue at the Grimoi. made a grimace.
Celestia covered her mouth and snickered.
Little Lori took the construct in front of her as a substitute for Homer, and slashed at it, cutting it into a pile of scrap metal.
Even though he practiced martial arts, Downton still had to make sure that there were no huge mistakes, except for the four Abominations guarding Celest, and twenty of them rushed into the hallway. Divide and surround the constructs so that they can't form a siege.
The Death Banshee, who had no worries, was in full swing, and its lethality was much faster than that of two melee combat, especially the Arcane Missile, which dried up the construct.
"Zuihou two. Speed Kill!" Downton was a little sorry, the construct was lifeless, so the Heavenly Horn similar to the Giant's Roar Restriction Technique was completely useless, otherwise he would really want to shiyan a little bit of power.
"Something is wrong, a monster is coming!" Hu Tao's ears moved, and he hurriedly warned him.
Downton knew that Lori's sense of hearing and smell was far better than that of ordinary people, and when he heard this, he immediately accelerated his attack and slashed the giant in succession, chopping the construct in front of him into pieces.
Roar!
Before the monster arrived, a deafening roar had already been heard, making the small glass on the corridor walls rattle.
A three-headed demon dog the size of a rhinoceros rushed up to the second floor, and when it saw the intruder, it immediately opened three large mouths.
Thick saliva dripped, and orange-sized fireballs whistled out and shot at the Cypress Lace.
The six abominations immediately strode side by side, forming a wide shield wall that obscured the hallway.
Bang!
The fireball struck Abomination, bursting into firefly-like flames, crackling and burning and scattering.
Quasimodo slammed his fists all over the head and chest of the constructed, and then pounced on the three-headed demon dog.
Pop, pop!
Blue lightning flashed, forming a branch-like shape that enveloped the entire corridor.
"Hu Tao, go back, Homer, shield!" Seeing that little Lori was about to attack, Downton stopped, and at the same time inserted the knight's sword into the scabbard at his waist, caught the shield handed by the elemental arm, and charged towards the three-headed demon dog.
"Give me a shield too. "Hu Tao doesn't want to stay in the back, that's not her style.
"It's the storm that makes a strong bird!" reminded Downton, and Homer sent the shield of order.
Hu Tao caught it and rushed to the demon dog at a trot.
The fireball flew again, hitting the shield with a thud, but Hu Tao's liliang was too big for her body to move.
Downton felt some numbness in his arm, but it was still within the range of tolerable.
"Beware of sonic arrows. "After dashing within ten yards, Downton launched a giant charge, and with a trace of afterimage, crashed into the demon dog.
Bang, the left side of the demon dog's head just opened its mouth, and before it could release its magic, it was smashed by the shield and almost bit off its tongue.
Giant slash, triple attack!
The black dragon's wings drew a dark red line of fire, and then slashed at the demon dog's head, slashing blood and shooting out.
The demon dog howled miserably and involuntarily retreated, and one of its eyes was even destroyed.
Giant windmill!
Downton's legs exerted force, and the whole person spun, like a naginata, and slashed at the demon dog's head.
Whew!Whew!
In the corridor illuminated by the illumination, the saber was as gorgeous as an aurora, and with the wheel dance of death, it hit the demon dog.
Blood was blooming, dappling the floors and walls like a garden of roses.
The smell of blood filled the air, and the Demon Dog's screaming became louder, because the skull of one of its heads was completely slashed, and the brains were splashed.
Downton landed, breathing a little heavily.
The demon dog wailed, aiming for Downton. Shoot fireballs and lightning.
Downton was just about to dodge, but Quasimodo, who had not received the command, stepped sideways and blocked in front of him.
Bang, bang!
The magic hit it, but it didn't hurt.
In the elemental explosion, Quasimodo clenched his fists. Raised high above his head, he smashed down, and it was on the head of the demon dog.
Bang!
The demon dog couldn't withstand this huge blow, and his limbs went limp, and his whole body fell to the ground.
Quasimodo dodged in time, giving Downton room to attack.
Downton would not let go of such an opportunity, and it was another giant windmill, which slashed firmly on its other head.
Homer was pleased with Downton's performance, with Heaven shining faster than the giants charging. But the magic energy consumed is more, and there is no need to use Shine to deal with this kind of enemy, and he is also very skilled in cooperating with the demon servant, who is very haode in the interval between his breathing and strength, taking on the role of a meat shield.
"I'm coming!" picked up the shield with his left hand and slapped it the demon dog.
It was as if there was a titan giant hidden in Xiao Budian's body, and Liliang was so big. Let the demon dog roll straight out, its claws clasped to the floor. But it still didn't work, and there was a screeching noise.
Hu Tao chases, jumps and splits, and the heavens burst and bloom firmly on the Zuihou head of the demon dog.
Crack, like a trampled fruit, brains and blood splattered out radially.
Downton hunted down at the same time. Glancing at Quasimodo, according to Homer, its intelligence should not be high, but although it does not talk much, its combat awareness is very outstanding. Many times his command has not yet been given, it has already responded, and it is quite correct and excellent.
"Either way, it doesn't rebel, and it's much harder than Jackson. Downton quickly gave up thinking, and there was nothing to be dissatisfied with with such a loyal and tireless servant.
The three-headed demon dog and the one guarding the dark altar are both laboratory products, but their strength is much weaker, at most they have just reached the war level.
Downton can almost kill it alone without a team, not to mention a meat shield, powerful melee combat, and ranged mages.
"Your choice to show up is a big mistake. Seeing that the demon dog was seriously injured and dying, Downton teased and left the opportunity to harvest people's heads to Hu Tao, he knew that little Lori liked to do this.
Hu Tao hacked the demon dog to death, wiped off the blood splashed on his face, stood on the corpse, and looked at the loot, "There are some parts on the demonic beast that can be used to make potions, is this okay?"
"No need to dissect, this is a laboratory product, except for the soul remains, all of which are rubbish that has been destroyed by experiments. Homer explained.
"Be on the lookout!" Downton feared that there were other demon dogs, but after waiting a short time, nothing appeared, so he continued to search the room.
In addition to the guest room, which was the servant's room, there were two large reception rooms, and a showroom, which was completely devoid of anything of value.
Downton led the group up to the third floor, this time with fewer structures on either side of the hallway, but more powerful, and all concentrated in front of a dark-brown painted doorway.
In the entire corridor, this door is the largest, and you don't need to ask, everyone knows that it is an important room.
"It's going to be rewarded!" Hu Tao cheered and ran over impatiently.
Downton didn't bother to stop her this time, but let Abomination charge.
Hu Tao was not slow, but it was Celes who hit the first Constructed Knight.
The Death Banshee's phosphorus rockets are not very powerful, but the suppressive effect is okay, and if the enemy is replaced by a human, the damage will be greater.
The movement of the constructor is already a little slow, and after the injury, the joint is damaged, and it is even slower.
Hu Tao caught the enemy, but he had just chopped three axes, and the abomination was killed, and he didn't stop and hit him directly.
The liliang was not enough, it was like being run over by a chariot, staggering, and two of them were even squeezed, and the big feet of abomination quickly turned them into discus.
Quasimodo grabbed a construct and used it as a mace, and smashed the constructed armor around him, disintegrating with a bang, spilling it everywhere.
There is no need for Homer to report the location of the soul core, because the constructs are all torn apart, and even if they are recombined, they will have no combat power.
Downton grabbed Hu Tao, who was about to push the door, and gave Quasimodo a gesture, and the latter understood, half-crouched, and poked the door with his fingers.
The door was locked, and Downton was just about to let Homer check it, when Quasimodo strained his index finger and poofed, smashing the lock.
With the creak of the doorway, the door opened, revealing everything inside.
This is a study, because it has not been used for a long time, and it has accumulated a thick layer of dust, and the beautiful Persian carpet is not visible.
On the east and south sides are large bookshelves of chestnut wood, piled with large volumes of books, on the west side is a fireplace with some unburned firewood, and in the distance, three luxurious chaise longues.
On the north side was a long desk, large and unspoken, with parchment and notes scattered on it, an overturned inkwell and a quill lying on the ground.
On the wall facing the door hung an oil painting of a woman in a court dress, whose countenance, though the years had passed, seemed to be eternal, especially the pair of smart eyes, which seemed to be watching everyone who looked at her.
"It's beautiful!" said Serex.
"It's magic paint. Downton didn't think it was strange that there were some paints mixed with special potions, and the oil paintings were no different from real people.
"No, it was painted with ordinary paint, but it was painted by Raphael, one of the three masters of the Renaissance. "For Homer, this kind of shijie famous painting, it is recognizable at a glance.
"That romantic painter?" Downton was stunned for a moment, recalling the biographies he had read, "I remember that his paintings were highly collectible and valuable!"
"Yes, this painting is the work of Raphael at the peak of his middle age, and several other paintings of the same period were sold at auction for about 20 million marks, so this one is definitely higher. ”
Homer didn't say why, but Downton understood that a painting that had not been seen for 3,000 years was destined to be of high value, and if it was brought back to the Western Continent, the entire collecting world would go crazy.
"Wouldn't it, just such a broken painting, worth 20 million marks?" Hu Tao's mouth grew up, and his little face was in disbelief.
"Yes. Downton was a little embarrassed, such a painting was in time for the gold bricks he paid to Barak, but then it turned into a regret.
The famous paintings hanging on the walls are clearly lacking in maintenance and are badly damaged.
On the surrounding walls, in addition to this painting, there are more than ten other paintings, but the value is average, and there are also some hero-level demonic beasts whose entire skin has been ripped off to make a collection, which is obviously the duke's prey, to show his achievements.
Downton was still looking, and Hu Tao couldn't wait any longer and ran in.
"Be careful!" Downton told Quasimodo to hurry up, but he was still half a beat slower, and a monster suddenly fell silently from the ceiling on the door, and it went straight to the little Lori.
No one expected that there was a monster lurking in the immediate vicinity, and although Downton tried his best, he was a little slow after all. (To be continued......)
