The sound of the rain echoed throughout the Rose Manor, and even the cheers of the nobles were muffled by the sound of the rain, the strange man stood at the spiral staircase, the warm blood slowly fell to the ground along the spine of the sword, the beautiful noblewoman collapsed at his feet with the wound on her chest in her hands, and the knight standing on the side looked at the two of them with a blank expression, surrounded by a group of onlookers of nobles in fine costumes, red curtains, golden halls, revolving long staircases and high roofs, forming a beautiful oil painting.

Birmingham and Little Elle looked at everything that was happening in front of them, and felt that the air around them seemed to solidify, and an uncontrollable sense of depression rose from all around, followed by the rich smell of oil paint, as the smell intensified, Birmingham and Little Elle felt that the space seemed to begin to lengthen, and then began to shrink again, and then suddenly stopped, and the surrounding scenery began to move forward rapidly, the dinner, the long table, Yousuf and Claire, and the strange man were gradually moving away in the eyes of the two, and even the sound of the rain in their ears was faintly audible, and the two of them only felt that their eyes flickered, and when they looked around, the long table was still quietly placed there, but there were no more nobles in fancy clothes with eyeballs, Claire and Yusuf were nowhere to be seen on the revolving staircase, the strange man seemed to have disappeared, and everything was as silent as the hall when the three of Birmingham first entered.

Birmingham turned his head to look into the courtyard with some strange eyes, from here, the body of the scavenging troll was still lying there, and the broken stone sword on the ground also indicated that the battle had indeed taken place, but there were only some green blood stains on the ground, except for the pits smashed by the scavenging trolls, and there was no sign of rain at all.

Suddenly, Birmingham felt that his right hand was gently pulled, and he saw little Ellie covering his mouth with one hand, and holding Birmingham's right hand tightly with the other, his big eyes were full of horror, as if he saw some unimaginable picture, Birmingham followed Little Ellie's line of sight, and saw a beautiful oil painting, which replaced the strange oil painting full of swirls, but it made Birmingham's back cold, because the content of this oil painting was the scene they had just experienced, the spinning ladder, the stranger who stabbed, and the helpless Yusuf and Claire who fell in a pool of blood, and the nobles with eyeball faces。

"Well, this painting of mine is one of my favorite works in recent years. A man's voice appeared very abruptly in the hall, and Birmingham and Little Elle looked for prestige, and between them a young man dressed as a painter appeared at the corner of the spiral staircase, with a disc-like hat on his head, colorful spots covered with slightly wide robes, and even some of his white faces had one or two traces of oil paint.

For the mysterious man who suddenly appeared in the hall, Birmingham and Little Ellie were extremely vigilant, although Birmingham was holding Tina in his arms and couldn't use his wand, but Little Ellie was aimed at the man's chest at the moment when the mysterious man appeared, and the magic element in the air also began to riot.

"Don't be nervous, as you can see, I'm just a painter and I'm here just because it's my studio. The mysterious man opened his arms somewhat exaggeratedly, and a big smile appeared on his face, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

The mysterious man's words did not make Birmingham and Little Ellie let down their guard, and Birmingham cautiously spoke: "Those scenes just now are all your paintings, or did they really happen." ”

"Very good question, how to put it. Faced with Birmingham's question, the mysterious man touched his chin with some distress, and then seemed to think of something, and a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes, "The scene just now should have happened in real life, I just added a little artistic creativity, you know, artistic processing is a common thing." The mysterious man's answer made Birmingham subconsciously look at an oil painting on the wall, the bright colors seem to be the creation time of this oil painting is within a few months, but the content of the painting happened at least sixty years ago, how did this mysterious man know, but the mysterious man was obviously not interested in solving the question in Birmingham's heart, the mysterious man seemed to lose interest after speaking, and his expression that was originally full of pleasure suddenly became a little dim.

"It's boring, it's really boring to have no new works, ah, why don't you come to my next work. The mysterious man suddenly proposed to Birmingham and Little Ellie, although he didn't understand the meaning of the mysterious man's words, but his intuition told Birmingham that this was definitely not a good proposal, Birmingham quickly made a look at Little Ellie, Little Ellie knew in her heart, the wand in her hand suddenly burst out with a burst of white light, the dazzling light made the mysterious man can't help but close his eyes, and then a fireball came to his face, and the huge fireball hit the mysterious man's body hard, Birmingham watched Little Ellie sneak attack successfully, but he didn't dare to be careless。 Sure enough, the moment Xiao Aili's huge fireball technique hit the mysterious man, a picture frame appeared out of thin air on the mysterious man's open hands, and a blank canvas, only to see the mysterious man's hands wave, Xiao Aili's huge fireball technique disappeared out of thin air, but an oil painting replaced the fireball.

"The flames are beautiful, but I'm getting a little tired of them, and I remember one of my most remarkable paintings of flames, like a dragon in the northern highlands, and the flames are much better than this. The mysterious man looked at the oil painting in his hand with some regret, and the blank oilcloth was also painted with bright colors, and a huge fireball appeared on the blank oilcloth.

Birmingham saw the mysterious man's way of coping, and finally knew the origin of the painting on the wall, but then there was a bigger question, if this man's mysterious magician turned the real thing into an oil painting, then the painting of Yousuf and Claire are real people, so whether the eighty-year-old Queen Claire who is now in the Kingdom of Betley is true or false, a series of questions are rolling in Birmingham's mind like a tide, and the little Ellie on the side is also ready to perform the next magic.

"Ultramarine's magic, the little magician didn't expect you to know the magic of those long-eared people?" The mysterious man glanced at the wand in Xiao Ellie's hand, and the tip glowed pale green, the mysterious man seemed to be a little curious that a human magician could release ultramarine's magic, because as far as the magic system is concerned, although the magic system of the human race is now recognized as large and complete in the pan-continent, but the magic system of ultramarine is the most primitive system, and this most primitive magic system means that ultramarine's magic is mixed with the divine power of the goddess to a certain extent, and the existence of this divine power is not possessed in the human magic system, which also lays the power of ultramarine magic, and this unparalleled magic arouses the desire of the mysterious man to paint。

"It's decided, I've decided, I'm going to go to the location of those long-eared people for my next painting, the magic of ultramarine, the figure of the goddess, it's amazing!" the mysterious man danced excitedly, "Oh, by the way, since you have provided me with a good idea, I can make an exception to answer all three of your questions, as soon as possible, I can't wait to make my next painting." ”

Birmingham motioned for little Elle to put down the wand in his hand, and he squatted down slightly, handed over the Tina in his arms to little Elle to take care of, looked at the mysterious person at the mouth of the spiral staircase, opened, pointed to the oil painting on the wall and asked, "Are General Yusuf and Claire real in this painting?"

"Anyway, let me tell you this, only one of the three protagonists of this oil painting is real, and as for which one is true, I have forgotten a little after too long. The mysterious man touched his head in some distress, and he could scarcely remember the paintings he had created before.

The mystery man's answer was not satisfactory to Birmingham, but it was better than nothing, "Then the second question is what happened here, like the scavenging troll and the vanishing lair." ”

"This question, I can still tell you everything, that scavenging troll was actually brought by me from the magic nest in the northern highlands, originally I wanted to go there to use the magic nest as my next painting, but I painted several pictures in succession, after all, it still didn't work, although the outside looks exactly the same as the magic nest, but the details are still a little far behind, so on the way back, I brought a scavenging troll back, as compensation for not completing the painting. The mysterious man said with some frustration, it sounded like he was unwilling to finish a painting of the hive, but in Birmingham's ears, it was a completely different meaning, a person who had been to the lair and captured a scavenging troll was definitely not something they could afford to provoke now, but fortunately this man's lair painting was not completed, otherwise they would not only face a scavenging troll, but a group of monsters pouring out of the hive, thinking of the giant blue and black hand stretched out in the painting, Birmingham felt a chill behind his back。

"Okay, you have one last question, hurry up, I can't hold back the soul of art created in my heart. The mysterious man urged Birmingham with some impatience, and the eagerness in his eyes was very obvious.

"Are you responsible for what happened in the small town of Stoley?" Birmingham's last question was obviously a bit of a puzzle for the mystery man.

"How is it possible, I'm an artist, how can an oil painter do such a bad thing, I was just looking for inspiration, and suddenly remembered that I had completed a good painting here, so I just revisited the old place, when I came here, Rose Manor and the town of Stoley, it had become like this, but your last question still surprised me a little, I thought you would ask me who I am?" The mystery man laughed and said that Birmingham's last question was very much to his appetite, but he didn't want to delay, he could feel that art was beckoning to him, how wonderful the magic of ultramarine was, and if he could see the face of a goddess, then his artistic journey would definitely go further.

"Then, let me take the next step, I can feel the cells of art shouting in my blood, this Thorny Rose Manor is for you!" "The mysterious man came quickly, and left quickly, there were only three people left in Birmingham in the huge Rose Manor, Birmingham picked up the oil painting that the mysterious man threw at his feet when he left, and the faces of General Youssef and Claire were clearly visible in the colorful picture, but the uninvited stranger in the rain was like a fog, the Thorny Rose Manor? Birmingham looked at the painting and fell into deep thought.
