When I arrived at the Hound House, I found that the door was closed and no one was there, so I guess I went out to find the gallery address.

Lawson also had the key to the Hound House, so he opened the door and went in, poured himself a glass of mead, and handed Joey the coachman a large bowl of boiling water and a few apples to pass the time, and then waited patiently.

He never waited, closed his eyes and began to read Phoebit's petrification book.

The book is also divided into two parts.

Part natural substance, part magic.

The first part of Lawson read very smoothly, and the second half was a little bumpy, after all, it was written by a high-level mage, and it involved a lot of high-level mana rules and spell knowledge.

"Let's start with natural substances. Spell part, wait for the back and Anna. Alice can study together, and you can also go to the Mage's Guild to buy books. ”

The difficulty of this book is in the spells, and most of the content is also in the spells.

The study of the natural material part is not much, and it is not too deep, and Rosen has earth science as a vein, which seems very relaxed.

After watching for about an hour, there was the sound of horses' hooves and wheels outside the door, and after a while, Harrick, Pethie, and Lilith walked in.

As soon as Harrick saw Rosen, he laughed: "Rosen, you came just in time, the place where the gallery opened is solved."

"The location is in the middle of the city, less than three streets from the Mage's Guild and about five streets from the Green Leaf District. It's easy to get anywhere anyway. ”

Lawson was also very happy: "Then do you want to take me over to have a look?"

Harrick waved his hand: "I'm running so much that my leg is going to break, I need to rest." Let Miss Percy and Miss Lilith take you, they know you better than I do. ”

At the end, he said: "Rosen, don't forget the ten customized paintings, the old gentlemen heard that you were back, and they didn't dare to disturb you, so they came to me to urge."

Lawson almost forgot about it: "I'll go see the gallery first, and if it's okay, I'll paint right there."

To tell the truth, if he wants to cheat and fail to fulfill his contract, those gentlemen will not turn against him because of a kilogram of Lang.

But there's no next time.

Therefore, credibility is still very important.

Harrick walked briskly to the room: "Then you wait, I'll give you the request for a custom painting."

After a while, he walked out with a stack of papers and handed it to Rosen: "It's all here."

Rosen nodded: "Okay, I'll take my time in the car."

As soon as Pesie and Lilith got out of the car, they got in the Rosen carriage and rushed to the gallery location.

After a while, Lilith commented, "It's much more comfortable than Harrick's carriage."

Then curiously groped around.

Rosen explained as he looked at the request.

"Because the carriage uses Thuro levitation. That is, the carriage suspension that I created with my mentor, and the high-end carriages of Silvermoon Fort are used in this way. ”

casually said: "When the gallery is on the right track, you will also have a carriage to facilitate work."

The two girls were immediately very happy, after all, in a small place like White Horse Town, they either rode horses and donkeys when they traveled, or they walked, and the big deal was a two-wheeled bullfighting cart.

Few people can afford such a luxury as a good four-wheeled carriage, and even if they can afford it, no one can use it, because the roads are so poor that the four-wheeled wheels are easy to get stuck in the mud.

Lawson flipped through the requests one by one, frowning more and more, and finally couldn't help but slap the paper on the seat and scold.

"This group of gentlemen is so unseemly that they can even make such a request!"

Percy curiously took the piece of paper and looked at it, and her face became very strange.

Lilith was also very curious, and took it to look at it, reading it as she went.

"I never had a wife in my life, but don't worry, I don't lack children, in fact I have more than a dozen illegitimate children."

"The rich life, the privileged position, so that I can always easily get women, all kinds of them, proud, coquettish, petite, even other gentlemen's wives, I have tasted many of them."

"I lost my interest in normal women because of my rich experience, and I suddenly became curious about strong women."

"I've heard that the bearmen of the Junction Plains are very strong, and the weakest bear-man women can easily lift an adult human man with one hand."

"Of course I can't really go find a bear girl, so, Master Rosen, please—Sir Heidner."

After reading it, Lilith was silent for a long time before commenting.

"This Ser Heidner should be sent to the front line of the Coldwind Valley, and the orcs will take him captive back to the Junction Plains, where he can enjoy his life."

Rosen suddenly laughed: "This is a good idea, but let's talk about it in private, and we should pay attention to it in public, especially in future galleries."

Pesie couldn't help but smile: "Yes, to protect the dignity of customers."

"Remember."

Lilith answered cheerfully and continued to read the second sheet.

"Master Rosen, your drawings before were so realistic, not only did I clearly understand the pain of being betrayed by my beloved, but I couldn't help but have doubts about my beloved."

"I couldn't hold back this suspicion, so I quietly sent someone to follow my wife, and I found a secret that shocked me and caused me great pain!"

"My wife has a real lover! And the notorious playboy Heidner! ”

"I am a gentleman of status, and even if my wife betrays me, I still have enough respect for her."

"I don't want to expose this matter and cause the breakdown of happy families, but I really can't bear this resentment."

"I beg you to help me draw another picture of the dogs and men in hell, the more tragic the better—Sir Rust."

After reading this, Lilith sighed: "This sir is indeed a gentleman, and after all this, he didn't even propose a duel to his rival!"

Percy commented: "I think it's probably because his wife has a higher status than him, and his wealth is likely to be brought by his wife."

Lawson smiled slightly: "Percy guessed correctly, Sir Rust is a down-and-out little nobleman, but he is very handsome, and his wife is the favorite daughter of the Baron of Fanggu Town, the second largest town in the highlands, and brought him a rich dowry."

Lilith asked, "How rich?"

"I heard that it is a big winery with an annual income of 13,000 crowns."

Lilith was speechless, "Oh, what a noblewoman."

This is a lot of money that she can't even think of.

Pessie was very calm, and there was a hint of schadenfreude in her eyes.

"Lilith, read one more."

Lilith read the third.

"Rust is a bastard, eats and drinks me, and uses my money to buy glamorous paintings to choreograph me, it seems that I spoil him too much."

"Sir Rosen, I'm a little dissatisfied with you, but I don't want to say much for your money-making sake, after all, my husband is the real culprit!"

"But I still hope that you will compensate me a little bit for my loss. I think you are very handsome, and I am very impressed, and I hope you will realize my dream of Mrs. Rust in the painting. ”

After reading it, the three people in the car were silent.

The three of you, you look at me, I look at you, they are all speechless.

After a long time, Lilith asked, "Master, do you want to paint?"

Rosen let out a long sigh and raised his hand to brush his hair vigorously, feeling a little embarrassed.

I've never heard of the painter himself in battle.

"Uncle Harrick really gave me a problem, but since the money has been collected and the money has been spent, I will draw it, but not the face, only the back and side."

Percy sighed, "Master, you are such an honest gentleman."

Rosen also sighed lightly, deeply feeling that the custom painting circle was too chaotic, and even an old gentleman with a very low bottom line like him couldn't bear it.

After painting this wave, he considered going ashore and focusing on those serious and glamorous paintings that had been certified by the priest of Faao.

Of course, if someone wants to buy it at a high price, it can still be considered.

Seeing that Lilith was still going to read, Lawson raised his hand to stop.

"Okay, okay, that's it, don't look at the rest of the world, it will hurt your heart."

Snatching the custom book back from Lilith, Rosen asked about the matter, "How much does the gallery rent?" ”

Speaking of business, both women had a solemn face, and Percy began to introduce it seriously.

With the current location of the gallery, Harrick estimated the rent at 500 crowns a month, but when Candela heard that the owner wanted to rent it, he proposed that the rent could be replaced by a custom-made painting for four months.

"A custom-made painting for four months is quite cost-effective and acceptable."

As a big businessman, Candela certainly wouldn't be so kind.

Rosen reckons that Candela must have been reselling his paintings elsewhere in the Golden Land.

Even if it is a pair of four months, he can make a lot of money, and the reason why he mentions four months, not three months, or even one month, is that Rosen's current fame and status play a role.

After all, the calculation is too ruthless, and Rosen may not be able to make him completely unable to get along in Silvermoon Castle, but it will definitely make him very uncomfortable.

But then again, it's a matter of interest, and it's better to figure it out.

"Pethie, when the gallery is stable, can you help me find out where Candela sold my paintings?" And how much did it sell? ”

"Yes, master."

At this time, the carriage stopped at the gate of a large courtyard in the middle of the city, and the gate sign read the words 'Egret Garden', and looking through the fence around the courtyard, you can see a tall and spacious palace-like gorgeous marble house.

The carriage pulls through the courtyard door, and Persie gives a quick introduction.

"The whole garden covers an area of 15 rams, the main house covers an area of 5 rams, and the auxiliary house occupies 4 rams, which was originally the property of a certain jazz, but then the jazz family fell into the middle of the road, so the garden was sold."

Rosen stepped out of the carriage and looked all the way over, and found that the house was neatly decorated and fully equipped, and with a little repair, it could be used directly.

He asked softly, "Is there a basement?" ”

"Yes, and there are two. One is a wine cellar and the other is a granary, and both are very well dried. ”

"So, the main house is used as a gallery, and the annex and basement are used as a working space, so it should be fine, right?"

Pesie and Lilith both nodded.

"There are no problems, it's so much better than before."

Rosen walked into the main room again and looked carefully in the various rooms: "The hall is very large, there are many rooms, they are all bright, very good. ”

He decided to divide the paintings according to the exposure level, the hall is harmonious, the room on the first floor is slightly exciting, the room on the second floor is more exciting, and the third floor is the most exciting.

Want to go up to the second floor?

Pay money to open a membership!

If you want to go up to the third floor, you have to be a VIP member.

After turning around, Lawson leaned on the railing on the second floor, looked down at the entire spacious hall, and asked, "Do you estimate how much the monthly activity budget will be?" ”

The two women looked at each other and shook their heads.

Percy said: "The time is too short, and there is no accurate concept for the time being. However, based on the price of Silver Moon Castle, I estimate that it may be above 300 crowns. ”

It is also equivalent to seven or eight hundred thousand people a month on the earth.

This is naturally an overhead that ordinary people can't afford, but it's not a big problem for Lawson now.

When the follow-up galleries are on the right track, they will definitely be able to easily cover this expenditure.

He nodded: "Then this matter is decided, and in the next few days, I will paint here and fill the gallery as soon as possible." You're starting to recruit people too. ”

Percy asked, "Do you want to train the combatants?" ”

Rosen shook his head: "No, the battle will be in charge of Xia Lina in the future, that is, it will be handed over to the temple." ”

Calculating the time, Xia Lina is probably coming back soon, and she is in charge of the force, which not only shows the gallery's deep temple background, but also supervises the two women to some extent.

After all, intelligence work is so important that it is equivalent to Rosen's eyes, and it must not be completely delegated.

As he spoke, Lawson took out a full moon bank stub from his pocket and handed it to Pethie: "This is 1,000 crowns, which is the initial fund for the event, so set up the platform as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, master!"

Then, the foundation of the Purifying Soul Gallery is laid.

What I had to do in the next few days was to build the whole platform on this basis.

When the gallery officially opened, Lawson also had a pair of insightful eyes to observe the dynamics of the various layers of Silvermoon Castle.
