The demons held their breath, and Princess Huberian stared at the painting.

As the seal was lifted, the purple light on the dark gray panel gradually became clear, revealing a stunning work of art.

After confirming that the princess had finished appreciating it, Callira gently waved her finger and guided the drawing board to move slowly in the air, so that all the demons could clearly see the work.

"It's a rare quality painting, which big demon is it? Which master did it come from? ”

"From the point of view of style, it doesn't look like Lei Mingqing, and it doesn't look like Misty Qing and True Night Qing."

The hall was filled with a solemn and sacred atmosphere, and with the display of the paintings, many demons were shocked by this artwork.

They reasoned and discerned.

Although the Falling Qing will only reveal who the owner of the painting is after the princess chooses, the demons have already begun to guess.

In this way, the paintings began to be revealed, and the brilliance burst out on the newly opened paintings.

For every demon clan present, viewing the paintings is a rare experience, and they may witness the supreme artistic feast that the demon world has been rare for thousands of years, not only for visual enjoyment, but also for spiritual touch.

The flow of magic when a painting is opened, especially when it is made, unsealed, and magically resonated, is extremely bright, reflecting the grade of the painting, which is related to the value of the painting, its magical effects, and its rarity.

The lowest white light represents ordinary quality and is the most entry-level work of art.

If it can be accompanied by blue brilliance, it is a delicate and flawless work that requires stable and high skill to produce.

Further up, purple is the top art, and pink art is located in the sacred realm, almost the highest level of art that can be seen in the concept of living beings in the world.

Although there is not much hope, every demon in the audience is looking forward to the appearance of pink brilliance.

At the same time, I was also nervous, afraid that the excellent painting was from the hand of the ancestor of the blood clan.

"The more paintings emerge from the golden cabinet in the future, the sooner they will be submitted, the tenth ancestor still has time to be delayed on the way to the demon world this week, and his paintings have not appeared yet, so it shouldn't be possible to paint quickly and with high quality."

Just as the conversation continued, and the third purple painting appeared, suddenly a painting accompanied by white light was removed by the falling Qing with an expressionless face.

"That style of painting...... It seems to be Lei Mingqing? ”

"He doesn't want to win?"

There was a lot of discussion on the table of the powerful people of the Demon Realm, and their eyes gathered to Lei Mingqing's side from time to time.

Like Lei Mingqing perfunctorily threw an ordinary-quality painting into it, obviously not thinking too much about winning.

"Gareth, you didn't ask the demon painter to ghostwrite for you?"

Lan Qi probably also found out that this painting was from Lei Mingqing because of the reactions of other demons, so he asked Lei Mingqing beside him.

According to Lanch's understanding, the rules of the fallen Qing are almost a tacit approval of the act of ghostwriting.

"I don't think it's necessary to make you laugh at it."

Lei Mingqing shook his head.

His relieved tone seemed to say, compared to the princess, you are still a close friend.

The Nocta family wants to marry the royal family, mainly for a powerful position in the demon world, but since McCarthy is willing to help him, the princess is not necessarily so important.

"Although, even if I hire a ghostwriter, it may be difficult to defeat Orion and Esmode, the Misty Lord, one of them has invited the oldest legendary craftsman in the Demon Realm today, and the other has the highest artistic attainments in the Great Demon Clan."

Lei Mingqing looked at the two figures on the far left side of the fan-shaped seat, close to the side of the fallen Qing Kaliera.

Orion, the misty secretary with jet-black hair and cold golden eyes, and Esmode, the true night secretary, who was hidden by a black cloak and shadows, except for the dark blue eyes, sat next to each other.

None of these two Great Demon Clan's paintings have yet to appear.

In the eyes of the vast majority of demons, the one with the greatest chance of victory is the general of the Seventh Army, Mist Secretary Orion, followed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, True Night Secretary Esmode.

"The two of them are obviously rivals, how do they feel that the relationship is quite good?"

Ranch inquired at Thunder Gareth.

In the sociology of the demons that Lan Qi understands, the big demons either have a good relationship, or they are not familiar with each other, or they may want to kill each other at any time.

In addition to him and Talia, they have all three of the above relationships.

The relationship between the traditional Great Demon Clan is very simple.

The two Great Demons on the opposite side and Falling Qing were very close, and Lan Qi did not have much contact with them in a limited time.

He just heard Lisandra say that the general is fierce and fierce, but Wenchen Zhenyeqing is very soft.

But in his eyes, the two big demons on the opposite side obviously had no suspicion of each other, and they were very close to each other.

"The two of them grew up together since childhood, and their relationship has always been very good, and sometimes it feels weird, which is quite awkward."

Lei Mingqing saw that Lan Qi was rarely interested in something, so he replied.

Soon, a burst of exclamations from the demon magnates in the regency hall interrupted Lei Mingqing and Lan Qi's private communication.

Lei Mingqing looked up and saw a newly opened painting.

【Portrait: Throne Hall of the Palace of Nekaris】

[Type: Artwork]

[Grade: Holy]

[Rank: 1]

[Appreciating the creatures of this painting, recovering a small amount of physical strength and spirit, there is a probability of gaining a little insight into painting.] 】

The picture shows the courtiers coming to the regency hall to worship, and the princess sits alone on her throne and has supreme power.

The expressions and postures of the demons are different - respectful, vigilant, and contemplative.

Light trickly poured through the high window, focusing on the princess like a miracle, and at this moment, she was the chosen one.

Its quaint and magnificent realistic style does not quite look like the masterpieces of today's young painters in the demon world.

All the demons looked at the demon general Mi Wuqing.

"It is rumored that the legendary painter invited by Mist Qing is a demon master thousands of years ago."

"This painting ...... It is a depiction of the apex of power in the demon world, and it is also a profound analysis of the psychology of the ministers. ”

"Through the depiction of the emotions of the princess and the courtiers, the intersection between the individual, the demon world and the key nodes of the era is highlighted...... In the end, it became a painting that combines movement and static, both inside and outside. ”

Many demons couldn't help but discuss.

"Do you usually appreciate art?"

Lei Mingqing listened to the sounds around him and looked at Lan Qi beside him.

Although he hadn't talked to his best friends about art, he felt that McCarthy himself had an indescribable poetic temperament.

"Understand."

Ranch replied.

"What do you think of this painting?"

Lei Mingqing wanted to hear Lan Qi's thoughts.

"Very good."

Ranch replied.

“……”

Hearing Lan Qi's perfunctory answer, Lei Mingqing was just about to speak, but he felt that the words were stuck in his throat.

Lei Mingqing's own opinion on this painting is that he can't make any other comments except "it's good".

His intuition always told him that his best friend was not so simple, but his best friend's casual attitude seemed to have little interest in painting appreciation.

Before the demons could raise the sound of the wave of amazement, another burst of pink light filled the regency hall.

【Portrait: Caged Bird】

[Type: Artwork]

[Grade: Sacred (Damaged)]

[Rank: 1]

[The creatures who appreciate this painting are likely to have a little pity for the princess and comprehend the princess's state of mind. 】

"Oh!"

Many demons looked at another sacred-grade painting with wide eyes.

There is no figure of a girl in the painting, only a lonely scene.

Moonlight shines through the treetops and onto the windowsill.

"Is this a handmade drawing by the real Yeqing?"

"It's the style of the real Yeqing, that's right, I've seen a lot of the works of the real Yeqing. Although the degree of completion is not perfect, it is indeed of a divine grade. ”

"It is worthy of being the most artistically accomplished demon among the Wenchens, and in a short period of time, he can create a sacred-grade painting on his own."

Exclamations rang out one after another.

It may be that Mist's painting [Throne Hall of the Palace of Necaris] is of higher quality, but the true night is better than his mind, and it depicts the princess looking out the window and seeing.

"This painting...... The clever first-hand perspective creates a unique emotional resonance, and there is no direct image of the princess in the picture, but her presence is everywhere, hidden in every detail touched. ”

In the painting, the moonlight seems to be not only a part of the natural landscape, but also a metaphor for emotion, its coldness and distance are just like the image of the person the princess misses, close at hand but far away.

"Zhen Yeqing uses the contrast of light and shadow and the guidance of perspective to closely connect the viewer's emotions with the inner world of the princess.

"Who is the princess missing? Why can Zhen Yeqing understand the princess's mood? ”

The discussion of the demon celebrities came and went.

Zhen Yeqing obviously had a delicate insight into the princess's state of mind.

On the seat on the right side of the hall, Lei Mingqing looked at Lan Qi beside him and showed a look of concern for this painting, so he asked:

"Do you fancy this painting?"

Although it may be a filter of his wishful thinking, he still vaguely feels that his best friend knows something.

“……”

Ranch held his chin and frowned slightly.

Lei Mingqing couldn't see Lan Qi's thoughts at the moment, but his best friend's state was very similar to him—it seemed that after reading the painting, he wanted to express an elegant evaluation in his heart, but he couldn't find the right words to form words.

"Speaking of Gareth, does the real Yeqing really want to win?"

Ranchi lowered his hand, leaned back in his chair, turned his head and asked.

"Orion may really want to win, and Esmode, the true night, is mainly looking at the big picture. But True Yeqing didn't seem to want Misty Qing to win, so he rejected Misty Qing's request for help, and in a fit of anger, Misty Qing found the legendary craftsman of the Demon Realm at any cost and asked him to write for him. ”

Lei Mingqing shook his head, he couldn't understand the motive between the two big demons, and he didn't understand why his best friend asked like this.

Especially Zhen Yeqing has always been obsessed with his appearance, at least Lei Mingqing has not seen the true body of this Wenchen for so many years.

Ranch groaned again.

And Lei Mingqing patiently waited for his best friend's high opinion.

"Do you think it's possible that the real Yeqing is actually a woman?"

Lan Qi looked at the tightly covered appearance of the real night qing, and muttered to Lei Mingqing.

His keen sense of smell told him that if Zhen Yeqing's gender was changed, everything would make sense.

“……”

Lei Mingqing looked at Lan Qi, and his brain shut down for a moment.

Best friend, what are you analyzing?

Now he really couldn't tell if McCarthy understood drawing or not.

While the two of them were chatting, the Regency Hall was filled with indescribable harmony and interest, and the voices of the demons echoed under the high dome, each evaluation full of pride.

A true master, not only draws well, but also quickly.

The paintings that were revealed in front of them were put into the gold cabinet at the end.

Now the rest of the paintings in the golden cabinet are all completed and submitted early.

The demons admired the two paintings, [Throne Hall of the Nekalis Palace] and [Caged Bird], and even though they had been removed by the Fallen Qing, it was still difficult for them to take their eyes off the scroll.

"Whichever one the princess chooses, it makes sense."

"She herself wants to paint the best big demons, and she can harvest such works, which is also worthy of her expectations."

The fact that there had been no painting of the Tenth Ancestor for so long was gradually beginning to reassure them.

Because even a master like Esmode, the True Night, had taken so long, and the Marquis of Ulises, the Tenth Ancestor, still had some time to be delayed on the road.

He painted on a tighter time, almost cutting off the possibility of high-grade paintings.

Looking at the tenth ancestor, Ulises, he still looked like he didn't care about himself, and smiled lightly, as if he had already looked down on winning and losing.

This kind of guy who is not competitive is even more difficult to make a work that is better than what Zhen Yeqing is waiting for.

However.

It was at the peak of excitement in this regency hall that the excitement was at its peak.

The resplendent light seemed to descend on the palace as if the stars had descended abruptly.
