readx;? Van Lunding hurriedly walked down the aisle, and with him were a few old men with panicked expressions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tonight, the manor, which should have been sleeping, was brightly lit and crowded. Guards in silver armor surrounded a small building in the center, their armor shining in the light of the fire. Van Lunding walked in front of the crowd and shouted to the chief of the guard standing at the top: "Let me in! Let me in, I'm the court mage Fan Lundin!

The chief of the guard saw Van Lunding and hurriedly waved his hand, and the human wall split into a path. Van Lunding hurriedly walked up, and the red-haired chief of the guard said to Van Lunding with a calm face: "You came too slowly, Lord Wang has been waiting for a long time. ”

"Please, I'm on vacation today. Van Lunding shuddered, "I'm still sleeping under the covers." ”

The chief guard lowered his head and saw that under Van Lunding's robe, there was only one slipper. The other foot is still bare.

"Thank you. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" exclaimed Van Lunding, "Where's Miss? Miss!"

The chief guard helped Fan Lunding open the door of the small building, bent down and said, "Miss and Lord Wang are inside. ”

Van Lunding took a deep breath, straightened out his terrible outfit, and hurried inside. The chief guard closed the door for him and straightened up again, knowing all too well what tonight meant as someone who had worked on the manor for decades.

He raised his head and looked at the crescent moon half-hidden in the dark clouds, like a slightly narrowed eye.

Van Lunding walked to a large hall with a long table around which more than a dozen people were sitting. Knowing the identities of these people, Van Lunding was so frightened that he didn't dare to take a breath, and sat silently at the end.

He looked up, and saw the old man sitting in the chief.

Lord of the Rose, Karanstuart. This old man who is like a legend is sitting quietly in the chief position at the moment, his fingers are rhythmically tapping on the table, and his head is slightly bowed, so he can't see his expression clearly, but he can see the silver hair that is a little dazzling in the candlelight.

Van Lunding whispered to his colleagues, "How long have you been here?"

"I've been sitting for half an hour. The colleague lowered his voice and replied, "There were already a lot of people when I came here, and I don't think we were notified in the first place. ”

"Think about it, Miss should also be?"

"The adults are already asleep. The colleague glanced at the chief Rose Lord, "You know what that means, she's so tired, so she went to sleep." ”

Van Lunding took a deep breath, and his voice trembled a little: "Is it really the Eye of Heaven?"

"You can't be wrong, the adults have already opened the Eye of Heaven once last year, but compared to this time, that time is simply pediatric. The colleague said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have called all the high-level officials of the hall who stayed in the imperial capital at this point." ”

"Pediatrics, did you look at the picture scroll?"

"No, I haven't seen it yet. The colleague said softly, "But I heard that this time the Eye of Heaven has seen it again."

Before his colleague could finish speaking, Karan suddenly raised his head and called Van Lundin's name.

Van Lunding was agitated and immediately stood up.

Karan paused and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, come here, I have something for you to do." ”

Fan Lunding hurriedly walked to Karan's side, and Karan also got up slowly, looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, it's late, I'll tell you about the specific things in a few days." Now you can go. ”

I was called here in the middle of the night, and I waited for a long time but didn't get any information. This was a very annoying thing, but the people present did not dare to have any dissatisfaction, got up neatly, bowed to Karan, and then exited the lobby in an orderly manner. A minute later, only Karan and Van Lunding were left in the lobby.

"Do you know why I kept you?" Karan glanced at Van Lundin.

"Lord Wang Jue wants me to finish the copying scroll?" asked Van Lunding, lowering his head.

"Half of half of that. ”

"I don't understand. ”

"Come in with me and you'll understand. Karan whispered, then turned her head, opened another door, and stepped inside.

Van Lunding took a deep breath and walked in with Karan.

Compared to the lobby, this is a very small room. As small as a desk, a wooden chair, and a bookshelf, it takes up almost all the space. There was an oil lamp on the desk, and since there was no wind, the candle stood there very quietly, emitting a faint light.

Karan stood in front of the candle, his figure reflected on the wall by the firelight, like a giant.

"Your Excellency. Van Lunding lowered his head and walked gently behind Karan, and he caught a glimpse of a painting on the desk, but he would never dare to look up at it without Karan's permission.

"I remember that the last court painter, Quincy, was your master?"

"Not only that, but he's my father. Van Lunding replied, "Although I am not related to him by blood, he taught me everything, so it is my father." ”

Karan obviously didn't care about Van Lunding's later words, he recalled a little, and then said: "Quincy once said to me that painting skills, like hunting skills, need to be tempered to reach the top. Without decades of accumulation, you can't paint a good work. ”

There is nothing wrong with this statement in itself. ”

"But do you know that ten years ago, he personally refuted his own statement. ”

"I know, because the previous lord gave him too much shock. Van Lunding said softly, "The master who has no painting skills has painted a painting like the Dragon Emperor. My father always considered that painting to be the best in the world, and before he died, he thought that no painting would be able to surpass it. ”

"He's half right. Karan sighed, "But the Dragon Emperor has shocked us far more than the painting itself. ”

Van Lunding lowered his head and did not speak. As far as painting is concerned, he is free to express his opinions, but in the case of the incident ten years ago, he is not in a position to say a word. But he also vaguely guessed something.

Karan turned his head, looked at Van Lunding, and said slowly, "Are you ready?"

"Ready?"

"Are you ready to be as shocked as Quincy?" Karan said, "if not the completely immature Eye of Heaven a year ago, now, what the real Eye of Heaven sees." ”

With that, Karan moved her body away. Van Lunding saw the painting on the table, and the next moment, his eyes widened in shock.
