Chapter 36: Ranch's Artistic Insights
The vast garden of the Magic Workshop was full of greenery, and the branches and leaves of the plants were stained with dew and shimmered with crystalline light.
At this moment, with the arrival of the staff of the Magic Academy, the automatic irrigation system in the garden also began to operate.
And Ranchi and Vivian were still not far from the entrance of the old liberal arts building.
It was all because of Vivien's sudden question.
During his time at the Nanvantina Frontier, Ranchi had never met anyone with whom he would talk about such a topic.
Although Hans the butler and Fransine the maid both spoke highly of his paintings, they did not discuss professional art-related issues with Lanch.
Lan Qi thought for a moment, smiled and replied:
"Say something different...... The statue of the goddess is carved vividly, her eyes are gentle and loving, immersed in the underside of this sparkling star, sometimes vast and sometimes calm, falling deeper and deeper in the embrace of tranquility, but it seems to rise to the surface and sway. ”
"Indeed."
Vivien heard Lanchi's answer and nodded in agreement.
She agreed with Ranchi's claim.
But this kind of opinion, which is very different from that of famous artists, also made her feel a little mediocre after listening to it too much.
Yet soon.
She heard Lanch continue again.
"But if you want to talk about what makes this piece so moving, I think you have to start with the Southern Cross constellation behind the statue of the goddess."
"Why?"
Vivien asked, frowning slightly.
Often this work, people's evaluation is to praise the goddess, and as the background part of the background color, even if the carving of the background is also excellent, it is not the main body of the work, and the meaning is more to set off the goddess.
"The astrological signs carved by Mr. Gera are actually very slight deviations from the official school emblem, of course, it is not a mistake, it is just a difference in the observation angle......
Ranch looked at the carving in the dome again, his clear and focused emerald green eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the position of each star with precision, and sighed rather intoxicated,
"I'll take a random guess...... Could it be that the carver, Mr. Geira, improvised this work that night based on his astrological feelings? The starry sky that night may have been like the Creator's answer, giving Mr. Geralt the incentive to make this work spiritual, and in this sense, he looked at the starry sky and poured his heart and soul, and in the end, it is difficult to say whether he was carving lapis lazuli or starlight. It is the starry sky behind such a goddess that makes the whole work unified, setting off the goddess statue to the extreme but not taking away half of her moving brilliance. ”
“!”
Ranch's selfless speech clearly startled Vivien.
The eye for detail and the insight into the carvings are unique and profound.
Vivien remembered that, according to the records of the Academy of Ichrita, the magician Gera did indeed complete the work during the night.
Although it is impossible to verify the state of mind of the late Master Gera Zelt at the time of creation, it can just match Lanch's statement.
Vivien couldn't help but look up at the carving again, and felt more and more that what Lanchi said made sense.
"You ......"
Then she looked back at the side of Rankie's face.
There seemed to be some skepticism that Ranch was really seeing this carving for the first time.
"Let His Royal Highness Vivian see and smile, maybe my guess is not thoughtful, such as offending Master Geral, and looking at Haihan."
Feeling Vivien's gaze, Ranch turned his head sideways and smiled.
"I heard that your ancestors were all merchants, so you are very good at connoisseurship?"
Vivien came back to her senses, bowed her head slightly, and then asked.
Despite Ranchi's good appreciative abilities, Vivien doesn't know what genre Ranchi is good at, and what his own creative skills are.
"I just know a little bit about it, and I'm interested."
Lanch replied modestly.
Vivien knew that Lanchi had always been so unsharp, but it was true that if Lanchi had extremely high artistic attainments, he would not have been completely unknown in this field until now.
"To tell you the truth, the palace treasury also has a collection of works by the magician Gera, and each of them can be called a national treasure."
Vivien's tone didn't have the slightest hint of showing off, but it was rare to meet peers who could talk to each other, so she couldn't help but introduce,
"If my brother Ainoel sees you, he may invite you to take you to see it...... Forget it, it's better not to know him, and if you meet a third-year student of the Magic Academy named Ainor in the future, you must walk around. ”
Vivien hurriedly stopped her words halfway through, and turned to a slightly worse face.
"Your Royal Highness, Prince Enor, isn't she as approachable as Her Highness Vivien?"
Lanch asked curiously.
He hates half-spoken people and riddlers the most.
But out of politeness, he asked his question in a more appropriate way.
"Am I approachable? Well...... Brother he is indeed very approachable, but his problem is that he is approachable. ”
Vivien pondered for a moment before nodding before explaining.
Her elder brother, the second prince of the Hutton Nation, is a person with a very unique personality.
As a member of the royal family, he despised power and status, but loved elegance and art.
And he loved to appear before men.
If Enor had discovered that Ranchi had a reputation for art appreciation, he would have invited Ranchi to visit the palace with him, admire and comment on his many collections, and show Ranchi how to pretend.
"That's right. Then Prince Enor is also a very good man, and I will take care to avoid him and not cause him trouble. ”
Ranch probably understood.
It's just that this prince is too enthusiastic, and he can't control himself when he meets someone he can talk to.
"Well, don't worry too much."
Vivien was sure that even if her stupid brother really met Lanchi in the future and hit it off at first sight, she wouldn't pester Lanchi too much.
Obviously, at Lanch's age, there is no way to be a true master of art.
Then Brother Wang will have a show with Lan Qi at most, and there will be no follow-up.
While chatting.
I saw that the old liberal arts building began to work normally.
The two of them walked into the building to go through the enrollment procedures.
With Vivien, it's easy.
I feel like I've become a minister.
In less than half an hour, Lan Qi happily left the Magic Workshop and headed in the direction of the dormitory.
The Student Service Center will then deliver the student's temporary luggage directly to the corresponding dormitory.
Lanch is satisfied with the school's services.
"Do you have a team you want now? If you don't join a team, it's hard for you to challenge the world of film. ”
Vivien strolled her arms around her hands, her fingertips tapping her elbows.
She asked as she stopped by with Ranch as she was on the way.
Today she is also going to visit the dormitory building, and they will also become classmates of the Sage Academy in the future.
Students who are registered as challengers by the Southern Continent Film World Management Association can challenge the real film world and, of course, form a team.
So in the school, there are many well-known and strong teams.
The school has a clear rule prohibiting first-year students from participating in the Movie World Challenge alone.
Therefore, even if a student has obtained a registered challenger license as early as the first grade, they will join the team and challenge with the senior students.
"Anyway, wouldn't it be better if I went to a first-year peer and teamed up to challenge me?"
Lanch asked curiously.
He actually wants to challenge the real film world as soon as possible, and he doesn't want to waste a little time.
Because after opening the movie world, there will be rejection time and you can't enter the movie world again, which is the so-called early CD.
Joining the team, there are all kinds of running-in, arrangement, and preparation periods, and as a newcomer, it may be difficult to play quickly and directly.
"That's pure death-seeking."
Vivien looked at Ranchi and said coldly.
She didn't want Ranch to ruin herself with excessive arrogance and ignorance, he was a potential talent in the Hutton Kingdom.
"Ugh."
Ranch felt that Vivien's attitude had become a little scary, but he also knew that Vivien was worried about her safety.
His understanding of the real film world is only limited to some actual combat records and analysis documents, and Vivien, as a princess, knows many powerful challengers, and must know the actual situation better than herself.
"In other words, the real third-order shadow world is ...... difficult compared to the third round of assessment."
"The difficulty of the third-order shadow world is much greater than that of the second-order [Infinite Phantom Canyon], and even if you add the harsh entries, they are not at the same level."
Before Ranchi could finish his words, Vivien replied categorically.
She discovers that Lanch is clearly unaware of the dangers of the real world.
How can an artificially simulated second-stage shadow world clip be compared to the difficulty of the third-order shadow world!
If Ranch really becomes complacent because he passed the entrance exam and was exempted from the exam and got his license, sooner or later he will cause serious trouble in the film world.
Vivien took a deep breath and felt that even if she was a bad person, she would have to wake up Lanchi fiercely.
However, before she could organize the language, Ranch asked again:
"If, I mean, if you add three negative entries to the [Infinite Phantom Canyon] exam, 'small hillside terrain', 'examiner rank four to five', and 'examiner starting distance halved', then can it be compared to the third-order shadow world?"
After listening, Vivien was stunned.
What devil entry, this is also something that people can come up with?
The nature of the exam has completely changed.
“…… What are you kidding, if you add these three entries, I believe that it is impossible for any freshman to pass the exam, this is already close to the third-order shadow world in the state of rage. ”
Vivien muttered hesitantly.
Generally speaking, if there is a serious mistake in the process of the shadow world, resulting in the inability to successfully go to the end through the mechanism to defeat the final strong enemy, or even be hunted by the final strong enemy first, it is often called that the shadow world has entered a "violent state".
In the third-order shadow world that fell into a state of rampage, the third-order challenger might need to face the hunt of the final strong enemy of the fifth order.
With that, Vivien looked at Ranchi again in confusion.
It can't be that Ranch and Hubertarian have encountered this kind of entry.
If both of them pass the test, how perverted will Ranchi have to be?
"Then I probably have a good idea of the difficulty of the third-order shadow world."
Lanch held his chin and nodded.
As long as you pull in your old teammate Huber Ann and team up to match into the real shadow world, the two of them are ranked second and third respectively, and it is no surprise that they will also be second-order or third-order shadow worlds.
On the contrary, it is much easier than joining a team to team up with the third- and fourth-order seniors.
"You...... It's not these three entries that you can't encounter with Huberian, right? ”
Vivien asked, turning her head suspiciously and staring at Lanchi.
Although she felt that it was impossible.
But at that moment, she felt that Lan Qi seemed to have an inexplicable calm and steady body, even though she had a good eye for distinguishing people as a princess, she also felt a little unclear about Lan Qi's depth.
"Of course not, how could it be these three."
Lanch smiled and waved his hand and shook his head.
He encounters the words "plains", "angry ferrat", and "one-third of the distance".
It's a little different from what she told Vivien just now.
