Chapter 176: Foreshadowing in the Painting
The two did not stop too much in the store, and when talking about the painting, it was noted that the owner would not have a good night. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In front of this image, which was likely related to him, Maffeo felt guilty, so he pulled Marcos out of the store as quickly as possible.
It's often said that there are some incredible coincidences in everything, but that's insignificant. When the two of them came out of the store, they happened to meet the three Freya who had returned from the casino, and they might have had as much fun as they were today, because the smile was always on their faces, except for Fit, who never showed it easily.
"It's just that you two have become artists after a day of not seeing each other. Freya smiled at the two of them, and the painting that Maffeo was holding could be said to be extremely conspicuous, no less than Fett carrying the hammer of the mad cow Ruel.
Maffeo stuck out his tongue, "Thank you for your concern." ”
"A painting, it costs you a lot of money, doesn't it?" asked Camille, she still had some idea of the price of a painting, which would not be something that the average adventurer could afford.
Marcos spread his hands helplessly: "Actually, it's just for some strange reason, we only spent 800 gold coins. ”
"I didn't expect it, it's so cheap. Camilli smiled.
Fett kept staring at Maffeo with strange eyes, which made the latter feel uncomfortable. To be honest, he didn't like the feeling of being stared at by others, and it made him feel bad. But rather than Fett staring at Maffeo, she was only interested in the painting that Maffeo was holding.
"I don't know where that guy has gone, but I wonder how a guy like him would spend a day like this. Marcos took out a crumpled cigarette and lit it.
"Actually, we met him fifteen minutes ago, at the West Coast Casino. Freya looked disgruntled.
Maffeo was surprised: "Wait, wait, I haven't heard of this, you actually went to the casino?"
"That's not a good place. Marcos pouted.
Camille couldn't help but laugh again, it was very new to her. "Believe me, only Fett went up and played two, and she was really close to winning all the money of the gambler on the other side. ”
"Wow. Marcos exclaimed.
Fett was silent, she didn't know why she had such good luck, she didn't even know when she had become so skilled at gambling, but she was sure that it had something to do with the Revolutionary Army, even though she had never thought of taking the initiative to gamble.
Later, it was Freya's kind heart that saved the gambler's life, and she said to give him back the money. Camilli laughed.
"So you did that?" Marcos asked.
Freya nodded, "That's right. ”
"What stupidity, my God!" said Maffeo, looking up at the sky as if he were telling the gods about their sins, and he couldn't understand it.
"Good, Maffeo. Freya leaned her face a little closer, and stared at Maffeo uncertainly, which made the latter stop his stupidity if he wanted to eat the bullets.
Marcos motioned for Maffeo to show the three of them the painting, he didn't think they might know a little bit of information, but he thought they should know at least about the strange painting. Maffeo's movements were a bit clumsy, and if it weren't for Marcos' timely hand to help, he would probably have dropped the painting to the ground.
The three of them had different reactions when they first saw the painting, and Freya had a strange expression on her face, and it was no wonder that no one would have a good expression on such a painting that wanted to convey a very subtle meaning. Fett is expressionless, and most of the time you can hardly see any ripples on her face, even then. As for Camilli, she couldn't help but shudder at first, and then she didn't want to look at the painting even a little more.
Her movements were caught by Maffeo, who asked, "What's wrong, Camille?"
Camilli waved her hand with a little difficulty, as if she was very afraid of the octopus in the drawing. "I ...... I hate these creatures with tentacles. ”
Maffeo looked at Camili's scared look and laughed, "Camilly, I have to say that you look so cute. ”
Freya folded her arms and said dissatisfiedly, "This is not the attitude that a lady should have. ”
"Yes, Maffeo, don't joke with the lady. Marcos followed Freya's words and took the opportunity to count down Maffeo.
Fett snorted dissatisfiedly: "It's really "don't be casual". ”
"Haha, Marcos, you're so bad!" Marffeo wouldn't let go of such a great opportunity.
Marcos muttered, "Lady who doesn't know how to joke." He pronounced the words very seriously, as if he were deliberately emphasizing them again, even though it was not heard by Fett.
"Why did you buy this painting?" asked Freya.
Marcos told the three of them exactly what happened, and yes, it was hard to believe. Leaving aside the meaning of the painting itself and the mysterious black-robed man, it is strange enough that he can automatically hang it back on the wall as if he were conscious. It's hard not to think of it as a form of magic or witchcraft, because it's beyond the reach of many people.
It's impossible for the three of them to come up with an effective answer to this, but they all have their own ideas, and that's what's interesting. But this feeling of solving a puzzle made Maffeo feel very uncomfortable, and he had always had a headache with this kind of thing.
"If possible, we should probably ask Uma and Mirna. After all, they came from that legendary demon realm, and maybe they would know something. Camilli spoke her mind, but she still didn't want to look at the painting, and it was clear that she did dislike the creature with its tentacles.
"Wait, I remember the shopkeeper said he had hired a magician, but they couldn't come up with a clear answer. Maffeo shook his head.
Marcos stomped on Maffeo's foot lightly, making a gesture of disdain in his hand: "You are such a stupid bastard, the magician he hired may not be Uma and Mirna at all, but just some apprentice in the Academy of Magic who wants to make a little extra money." You must know that for ordinary people, even those who are beginners can be called magicians. ”
"Okay. Maffeo spread his hands helplessly.
"Please, man. I know, you're hiding something. But you can choose not to tell us now, but that may be something we will have to face sooner or later. Of course, I know the timing isn't good, so you can forget about it. After we settle the matter of Sky City, there may be a lot of time for us to solve the matter buried in your heart. Marcos said this, which drew a look of surprise from Maffeo, who had no idea how Marcos had noticed it.
"Your acting skills are terrible, and you're never good at hiding your heart, you always show it through your expressions unintentionally. Freya said in a sarcastic tone without mercy, but her words did prick Maffeo's nerves at this time.
"But you don't have to worry about that, we're in company, and I'm sure we can figure this out together. Camilli's words finally comforted Maffeo, and he finally really put his mind at ease, the thing that had been weighing on his heart all along.
"Thank you. ”
