Chapter 203: Painting
This is a portrait of a woman, and judging by the look between her eyebrows and eyes, it is the same person as the one hanging in the living room. Judging by the traces of paint, this should be a newly completed painting.
"This painting is something I just finished...... Mr. Su Wen, you are still the first person to appreciate it. Josephine moved the easel and looked at it again with satisfaction, and it was clear that the painting was her pride: "What do you think?"
Su Wenshun looked at it, the content of the whole painting was a bust of a woman, the overall tone was cold, but the bright red eyes were particularly eye-catching. Although the face of the person in the painting is different from Josephine's, this painting is supposed to be painted by her in front of a mirror, because in terms of physical shape, the person in the painting is very similar to Josephine.
The difference is that the person in the painting magnifies the mystery and elegance of Josephine, and in addition to that, there is a little more spirituality. Therefore, the people in the painting look like the legendary goddess, which makes people marvel and look forward to it.
I have to say that Josephine's painting skills have almost reached the level of superbness, and taking this painting to the royal city as a work of art auction is definitely worth a mansion in the crown area!
"It's so beautiful......" Su Wen was a little stunned.
Josephine also smiled lightly, and Su Wen's reaction was obviously what she expected. She still knows her painting skills.
For hundreds of years, you always have to find something to do, don't you?
Su Wen looked at it for a long time, and added: "I always feel that there is a hint of playfulness in this painting......"
Now it was Josephine's turn to be stunned.
A touch of playfulness?...... If it weren't for Su Wen's nonsense, then his eyes would be really too poisonous!
Because the woman in the painting is someone who exists in Josephine's memory. In Josephine's mind, that person was beautiful, dignified, noble, and elegant...... And under this shining appearance, there is indeed a playful character like a girl.
Josephine drew her according to her own feelings. In particular, that playful feeling made Josephine revise it hundreds of times just when she was drafting it!!
Su Wen, can you actually see it?
Josephine felt that she had found a soulmate, so she took the initiative to say: "The person in the painting is my young lady." ”
The clan system of the blood race has extremely strict boundaries and complex structures, one of which is characterized by clear hierarchies. What can make Josephine a young lady is naturally an existence that is many grades higher than her. So Josephine, the proprietress of this bar, the leader of this blood community, was once just a maid to that woman.
It can be seen that the influence of that Miss Bloodseed on Josephine is extremely far-reaching, so much so that even now, Josephine also remembers her.
"But ......" Josephine seemed to be caught in the memory, and at the same time, she was also wondering in her heart whether to tell Su Wen about the previous events as a "stranger". After all, in her heart, there is also a desire to confide, and the object of confiding is also a person who can see the hidden artistic conception in her paintings.
However, Su Wen's appearance at this time seemed to be in a memory, and Josephine was stunned, so she didn't say any more.
The entire reception room fell into a tacit silence.
After a while, Su Wen suddenly tilted his head and looked at the ceiling.
Fortunately, there are also luxury lamps and paintings on the ceiling as decoration, which makes Su Wen's action less abrupt.
From Josephine's point of view, he could only see Su Wen's chin and his nostrils......
But she felt that this man's mood had great ups and downs.
My Paintings...... It shouldn't be that infectious, right?
When Josephine was strange, Su Wen pulled his head back again, looking as if nothing had happened.
"It's not too early......" Su Wen suddenly stood up, looking as if he was planning to leave.
"......" Josephine walked over with the black cloth in her hand, without even covering the painting. Although Su Wen's farewell was a little abrupt, she didn't want to keep anything. It seems that Su Wen has given up on inquiring about the news of the Dorufen Brotherhood......
"That's right. Su Wen spoke again: "About the matter I proposed...... Can you ask the hostess to be more accommodating?"
It seems that he still doesn't give up...... Even if you have a very good appetite for me, the rule pursued by our bloodline is not to meddle in human affairs, so this precedent cannot be opened. Josephine sighed, and just wanted to open her mouth to refuse, but saw Su Wen stretch out his finger and condense a little magic power.
What is he doing here?
I saw Su Wen's hand waving in the air, and he used his magic power to draw a special symbol in the air. The people here may not understand, but if the people over there see it, they should think of the Batman logo.
This simple symbol, made of the magic that emitted a glimmer of light, was drawn in Su Wen's hand with a single stroke, and then stayed in the air for a few seconds before dissipating.
Josephine's eyes widened and she looked at Su Wen in disbelief.
"Please. ”
“...... ...... you?" Josephine had a flash of inspiration, always feeling that she had grasped some key points in her memory. There are so many memories of hundreds of years that even Josephine still struggles to recall the events of hundreds of years ago.
But before Josephine could think of the result, Su Wen interrupted: "Because I have no other way for the time being, I have to trouble you......
"......" Josephine's breathing became a little short, and after a while, he said, "Okay." However, I need to sort out the information, so you can come back tomorrow night and get it......"
"Thank you. ”
When Su Wen said goodbye, he didn't look at Josephine again. And just like that, he left Josephine's bar.
After Su Wen left, Josephine sat back on her sofa, closed her eyes, and kept reliving the vague memories that came up in her mind.
What Su Wen drew just now was the clan emblem that had long been unused...... This family emblem once witnessed the growth and glory of a blood-based girl named "Fei", and also recorded the decline of that family.
Josephine recalls when she was a trainee maid. She remembered that Miss Fei was often acting with a male human at that time...... And that human name...... Appearance...... Sound......
The more she thought about it, the more incredible it became.
But in the end, Josephine still showed a hearty smile, and shook the black cloth in her hand randomly, looking very happy. I am so happy that if I let those guests see it, I will never believe that the elegant and dignified proprietress will have such a side.
Josephine turned the lamp back to its original dimness, went downstairs to get a bottle of wine, and then returned to the place, drinking to herself and humming an old tune.
Su Wen, who took advantage of the night to return to the dormitory, also unconsciously hummed a small tune.
And the melody of this minor key is almost exactly the same as the one that Josephine hummed.
Both seemed to see a young girl with bright red pupils, strolling through the garden of a house in a floral dress, humming the melody they were now humming.
