Chapter 303: Magical Painting

"Another business?" Martin said, his eyes already moving to the open package on the table. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He had already noticed that there was not only one magic circle in it: "Do you have any other magic circles to sell?"

Donner smiled and shook his head, gesturing with his eyes to Una, who immediately stood up and slowly unfolded one of the skins in the package.

Martin leaned over and looked at the slowly unfolding hide in her hand, his brow furrowed slightly.

"The other business you mean by this painting?" he wondered.

Yes, the skin unfolded by Una was covered with a canvas that seemed to depict a night view of St. Petersburg, but something really didn't look right with this night scene.

"It's actually two paintings, so let's look at this one first......" Donner nodded.

"But, this painting ......" Martin looked at the painting and then at Donner, as if to make sure it wasn't a joke.

"Do you have any connoisseurs at appraising paintings?" asked Donner.

"Some ......"

Although Martin was a little puzzled, in view of the identity of the other party, he quickly found an old man with a gray beard.

Interestingly, the old man was a Hairian.

"Master Pint...... Look at this painting......" Martin asked hesitantly.

The old man named Pint looked at Donner and Una faintly, and then turned his gaze to the painting.

He was stunned for a moment, then moved the painting in front of him, and then shook his head in disappointment.

The old man looked closer, then deliberately looked at it from a distance, and after repeating this several times, he finally pushed the painting back in front of Donner.

"You drew this?" he asked, looking at Donner.

Donner shook his head, "This is my pet's drawing." ”

"Do you think he has a good drawing?" asked the old man, if you showed it to Martin?" continued the old man.

"Yes, I think he drew very well. Donner still kept his smile on his face, forming an interesting contrast with the indifferent old man opposite.

"Oh, tell me, what's so good about this painting?" asked the old man again.

"Master Pinter, this young master John ......" Martin seemed to be afraid that he would offend Donner, and hastened to explain.

"It's all right," Donner explained, waving his hand slightly, to the white-bearded old man Hellian, "the beauty of this painting is that the colors are bold and bizarre, and the architectural lines seem to be jerky and exaggerated, but the overall effect is very dramatic, like the world in the eyes of a child, and the starry sky is full of imagination, like a dream scene." ”

"Your comment is better than this painting...... "Old Man Pinter laughed suddenly, and when he laughed, the wrinkles were huddled together, and he looked even older.

"Master," Martin interjected, "what do you think?"

"The painter is a genius, but he is still too immature...... "Master Pinter's answer is simple.

Donner smiled with satisfaction when he heard this comment, "That's good." ”

"What's good?" Master Pinter glanced at him: "How valuable can such a semi-finished product be?"

"Do you know the name of this painting?" Donner asked suddenly.

Master Pinter said disdainfully: "Could it be that a good name can make this painting more valuable?"

Donner seemed amused by him, shaking his head and laughing.

"Master, this painting is called A Midsummer Night's Starry Sky. As he spoke, he lifted the entire painting up and pressed it against the wall.

At his signal, Una reached out and pressed the top corner of the painting from the other side.

So, the painting was flattened on the wall between the two of them.

Donner reached out with his free right hand and waved lightly over the painting.

Then, as if miraculously, fireworks were constantly appearing, exploding, and falling in the night sky - if you look closely, you can see that the flames are at any distance from the surface of the painting, and even if they keep bursting, they will not hurt the canvas.

"A Midsummer Night's Starry Sky ......" Martin was already dumbfounded.

Master Pinter laughed even more contemptuously.

"Sensationalism......" he threw down the last comment, shook his head and turned and walked out of the reception room.

Donner didn't bother with the stubborn old man, but reached out to extinguish the circle hidden behind the painting, and put the painting back on the table.

"The magic circle on this is also your work?" Martin asked in astonishment.

"That's right......" Donner said, flipping the painting over.

Sure enough, on the animal skin behind the canvas, there was a pocket magic circle with an area less than the size of a palm, and on the side of the magic circle, the name seal of John Smith was engraved, but there was no pentagonal logo of the Magic Array Association.

......

This time, Martin only called the chief magic array appraiser of the auction house, Master Dunpole, to the reception room.

After receiving Donner's permission, Temple's entire body was almost on the table, carefully examining the small circle.

The circle is still the same as Donner's usual style, flawless and extremely compact, which is why it is possible to hit the fireball in such a small area.

For a moment, when Master Dunpole looked up at Donner, his face was already stunned.

"This ...... Your original magic circle, too?" his voice trembled uncontrollably.

"No, it's just an apprentice-level fire circle. Donner replied lightly.

"Didn't you create it?" said Dumbold, who calmed down suddenly.

"Take a closer look. Donner laughed.

Master Dumbol leaned over to the circle again, and this time, he immediately exclaimed, "Oh my God, I didn't see such an obvious fact!"

"What the hell is going on, Dunpole?" asked Martin anxiously.

"Master Martin, this apprentice-level fireball circle is painted backwards!" Dumbol explained, "That's why it can produce fireballs from the opposite side, which is the side of the canvas!"

"Painted backwards?" Martin wondered, "Is this rare?"

"It's rare! It's a genius idea!" Dunpole looked at Donner in admiration: "Young Master John, you're so unexpected!"

"It's just a little trick," said Donner, shrugging his shoulders and turning to Martin, "I would like to ask you to arrange an auction for me, preferably sooner, in seven days." ”

"Seven days?" Master Martin frowned, "Seven days, I'm worried that I won't be able to notify too many people......"

"That's good," Donner smiled, "At the auction in seven days' time, I'll take out a silence circle, and we'll have a silent auction." This topic should attract a lot of people, right?"

"Good!" replied Master Martin excitedly, "This will not only attract people, but also arouse people's interest in the silence circle. By the way, Master John, I'm worried that the scale of the auction of only these two paintings seems too small. ”

Donner smiled knowingly: "The rest of the lots, it's up to you to arrange, just put these two paintings on the finale." ”

Martin happily agreed to Donner's request, and then curious: "Master John, another painting ......"

"The name of the other painting is called "The Gaze of an Elf Girl...... Today, I won't take it out, so let's leave a little mystery. As soon as Donner finished speaking, Una had carefully put away the three rolls of hides.
