Chapter 108: Brando's Godfather is petting his cat
Dimly lit huts, flickering candles.
In the tailor's shop, sat the most powerful man in the entire Santa Fe neighborhood - the Brando Godfather.
"I often have the feeling that everything is going too well, to the point that it's going too far."
The godfather put the cigar aside, he didn't smoke it, he just liked the atmosphere when it was lit.
Without this prop at hand, it always feels like something is missing.
The godfather said firmly,
"In the dark, a conspiracy is brewing."
Ah Wu, who was sitting in the corner reading a book, plucked out his ears and yawned, obviously not caring much about the other party's words.
Ludon knocked on the wooden table, trying to get the other's attention,
"It's your turn to read the lines."
The sense of atmosphere he managed to create was ruined by Awu.
"Say what?"
Awu raised his head and asked rhetorically,
"You think the Church of Knowledge is behind the scenes, and they're brewing a storm?"
The whole fog, no, to be precise, the whole world, there is nothing left to threaten them.
"Possibly."
Lu Deng nodded slightly, and analyzed seriously,
"They really deserve to be on the list of suspects, and if there's anyone who can add a little fun to life, I mean, troublemaker, it's definitely the Church of Knowledge, which is like a villain..."
Awu sighed a little helplessly, and forced himself to talk to the other party,
"If you're really idle, you can go back to sleep."
Luden said solemnly,
"A good hunter doesn't wait for his prey to appear."
"Okay."
Awu nodded perfunctorily,
"Then I'll let Phuket go and kill them all."
The world does not have many secrets for the Eternals.
Who are the people of the knowledge church, Awu knows very well.
The reason why the Church of Knowledge was not completely eradicated was that they were somewhat useful before Ludon came.
After Luden's arrival, the Church of Knowledge was useless, but they seldom made a fuss.
Especially in these years, it is quiet as if it does not exist.
"What's the point?"
Ludon rolled his eyes and said dissatisfied,
"You've ruined a brilliant counterattack!"
"Good, good."
Awu asked patiently,
"May I ask Mr. Luden, why do you think a conspiracy is brewing against you?"
He finally asked the question that Ludon wanted him to ask.
Luton gave the most accurate answer,
"Intuition!"
Awu: ......
"Are you sure... This instinct has nothing to do with the earl who has been in the limelight lately?"
A new earl has recently emerged in the fog capital, with a mysterious origin, exquisite eight sides, and strong financial resources...
Luton shook his head and denied the baseless accusation.
Wu reluctantly put down the book in his hand, and the shadow of the candle flame danced on the leather cover.
The book, written in the language of Gu Qiyun, is authored, coincidentally, and is also Mr. Luden, and the title of the book is "The Count of Monte Cristo".
The conversation between the two was interrupted by Todd.
"Godfather, Leonardo da Vinci wants to see you."
Tonight, the Godfather has an appointment.
Otherwise, Awu wouldn't have stayed awake in the middle of the night and accompanied Ludon to talk here.
He is the Eternal, not the Eternal, and he still needs rest.
Ludon put on the Godfather's mask again, nodded his head, and let Leonardo da Vinci in.
Before anyone could enter, a carriage stopped outside the tailor's shop.
"I've painted a picture for you, Godfather."
This painter with a humble attitude, who has a good reputation in the Santa Fe neighborhood, is ingenious and imitative
There is nothing that the Buddha will not do, and if someone's things are broken, it is not wrong to look for him.
Even the sewer renovation project in the Santa Fe neighborhood was carried out by the artist.
However, very few people know the true gold content of this painter's paintings.
One of his paintings, which sold for the second highest price in history in Wudu, was hotly discussed by the whole city for half a year, and the heat has not dissipated yet.
As for the painting that is the first in history... It's a sunflower.
The buyer, of course, was Mr. Luden.
Mr. Lutden's rare human brilliance is applied to the matter of art.
The painter who had no ears did not choose the path of tragedy, and of course, he did not gain a huge fortune, but only a sum of money that was sufficient for food and clothing.
After all, the consignor of "Sunflower" is also Mr. Luden.
Mr. Ludon spent a sky-high price on this painting just to tell the upper class of the fog capital what is really good.
The painter gained an even more important asset—dignity.
He witnessed first-hand the recognition of his paintings.
After that, no one knew where he went, what he was doing, whether he would still paint.
He deserves to live the life he wants and get everything he wants.
Leonardo da Vinci was able to live a peaceful life in the city, without the help of Brando's godfather.
Over the years, the godfather has not received a penny from him, and has fulfilled his promise to protect Leonardo da Vinci from the demon Luden.
As long as Leonardo da Vinci stayed in the Santa Fe neighborhood for a day, he only had to obey the Holy Law.
In order to repay the godfather, he brought a painting today, and even the silk covering the painting is extremely precious, and it is obvious that a lot of thought has been put into it.
This huge oil painting, 9 meters long and 4 meters high, can only be carefully fixed on a pallet cart, pulled by horse, and carried outside the tailor's shop.
The godfather sat behind the candle flame and looked at the oil painting outside the door.
He didn't send someone to uncover the painting first, but asked a question,
"What's the name of this painting?"
Leonardo da Vinci replied seriously,
"Brando's godfather is petting a cat."
Interesting name.
The godfather nodded, and Todd stepped out from behind him, carefully uncovering the painting, while someone brought a kerosene lamp to dispel the darkness and reveal the true face of the painting.
The Godfather was facing the door, so he couldn't see the whole painting, only a small part in the middle, and that was enough.
This painting tells the story of a simple thing: dinner.
Thirteen people had dinner together, to be exact.
Sitting in the middle, wearing the classic robe of the Divine State, is Mr. Lutden.
On the left and right, people sit with different movements and expressions.
There are Pong, Augustus, El ...
From the perspective of the Divine State, this painting is inevitably somewhat taboo.
The characters that appear above are all famous big names in history.
Bringing these characters together for dinner is nothing in itself.
However, the Mr. Ludon in the middle of the portrait has a bit of vicissitudes in appearance, and judging by his age, it should not be long before he was stabbed to death by the Senate.
The godfather did not look at the whole picture, but he clearly knew:
There are no cats in this painting, and there is no Brando godfather.
The godfather was still sitting behind the candlelight, did not get up, looked at Leonardo da Vinci, and asked,
"What about the Brando Godfather?"
Leonardo da Vinci replied politely,
"Brando's godfather is petting a cat."
