Chapter 696: Ranch Can't Draw

Parrieux 2, Platinumson Palace.

Stalactites dominate the vault, angel reliefs dance in relief, as if they are about to fly out of it, and the stained glass parquet in the center of the dome almost imprints the colorful colors on the marble floor.

The two of them walked in the exhibition hall, flanked by two seven-meter-tall sphinxes competing against each other, just like the two of them.

"I didn't expect that there is still a difference between what I see with my own eyes and what I see in the artificial shadow world."

"After all, the artificial shadow world is just a man-made product, and it cannot achieve the divine projection of the intertwined images of the real shadow world."

After Ranchi and Talia leave the Parieu Card Makers Association, they agree to spend the morning of their date in one of the largest and oldest art museums in the Southern Continent and an iconic landmark of the Posen Kingdom.

Although in the third round of the Platinum Card Maker, the venue for the exam projection was Platinumson Palace, since then, both of them have wanted to come to the actual venue to have a look.

Or Platinumson Palace itself is an important check-in place when traveling to the Kingdom of Posen.

But because the hotel where the two stayed was too close to Platinumson Palace, they often passed by and did not rush here.

It's like most of the residents don't visit the local scenic spots, they live close to each other, and they feel that they can go at any time, so that if they didn't have the opportunity today, maybe the two of them would really delay it.

"Nearly a thousand years ago it was originally built as a fortress to defend against foreign invasions, and later transformed into a royal palace after peace, during this period, Platinumson Palace began to collect art, and gradually began to have sacred and even epic collections into the collection, and over time, more kings expanded and beautified the palace, making it the center of art and culture in the Posen Kingdom."

The two of them strolled through the exhibition hall, sometimes stopping to admire, sometimes exchanging feelings, and the voice of the exhibition usher came to their ears.

Until almost a hundred years ago it was transformed into a public museum, undergoing several expansions and reconstructions, and it was open to the public, allowing the public to enjoy its rich collections.

The sculptural relief on the dome outlines the agile scenery of the eagle soaring and the flying horse galloping.

"Tata, which one is your favorite?"

Ranch stood on the side of the central hall and asked Talia beside her.

In the center, Stephen Martin, the ancient imperial painter, painted a huge oil painting "The Rise of the Kingdom of Eternal Night", although mutilated, is still magnificent, reproducing the fierce battle scene of spear waving and dragon roaring in the sky, and the blood of countless warriors blooming in the darkness with an unquenchable flame of glory.

On the left, Isaac Claire's gentle and magnificent painting "The Gift of Mother Earth", a woman in a graceful white gauze dress holds the precious fairy dew in an urn in her hand, and walks slowly towards the earth through the hazy clouds, lovingly pulling an innocent and flawless lamb in her hands.

On the other side of the studio, the Grimms brothers' "Three Questions in the Magic Mirror" reflects a hazy and mysterious female face, gazing at the world in the mirror, both the vicissitudes of a wise man and the ignorance of a virgin, as if interrogating the viewer about the three mysteries of life.

These are all extremely famous paintings in the southern continent.

But Ranch didn't say what he thought.

“……”

Talia just turned her head and looked at the entire back wall.

It is the epic huge mural "The Judgment of the Demon King" made by the ancient imperial painter Tolkien, which is hundreds of meters long and vividly reproduces the magnificent scene of thousands of heroic armies charging into battle against the demon king.

She looked at the painting and did not speak.

But that's the answer she told Ranch.

"Coincidentally, this is what I like."

Only this moment made them feel a kind of match, or interest, but they didn't want to admit it.

To some extent, both of them are good at drawing, but they never talk to each other about appreciation, and focus more on the production of magic cards and magic engineering.

"Did Huberian tell you about Esmode? True Night Esmode. ”

Ranch asked Talia.

The Great Demon Clan is not necessarily good at painting, almost all of them have their own expertise, and the Great Demon who was the best at painting in those years of the Blood Moon Bad World should be Esmodeus.

"It is mentioned that she is said to be a talented woman."

Talia nodded.

"Now think about it, you are also a talented woman, after all, you can draw sacred-level paintings just like her."

Ranch couldn't help but praise.

"It's different, when I met her in your movie world, she was much younger than me."

Talia admits calmly.

“……”

It was as if the lines had been robbed, and the words choked up for a moment.

She doesn't seem to have much to do with her kind.

"In other words, if the last time the film world brought you in, as a princess, what would you do in the face of Huberian's situation?"

He changed to a question he had been curious about for a long time.

Huberian is an absolute conservative, while Talia is conservative and radical in a binary, she can be both conservative and radical, depending on the situation and her mood.

"I'll tell them, 'I'm the Demon King, you're not.' ”

Talia replied as a matter of course.

She does not accept any provocation from the Great Demon Clan, since she sits in that position, then those who follow her will prosper, and those who oppose her will die.

"Then if you return to the country according to your original long-cherished wish, wouldn't it be more like you are going to take the route of a tyrant?"

Lanch asked in surprise.

It's no wonder that in the world line where Talia gets the Mercy Psalm and reinstates her country, she will become the real Demon King.

"There is no way, the restored emperor must be ready to be a tyrant, not everyone can be a holy and benevolent emperor."

Talia also learned about the first three Blood Moon Shadow Worlds that Ranchi and Hubertarian had experienced.

"However, at the end of the Blood Moon Era, if Rankloos of the Black Sun can put an end to all this and be crowned king, according to this person's character, he must have become a benevolent monarch."

At present, the more she looks at it, the more she feels that the Blood Moon Bad World is an era earlier than the Holy Empire.

Although the ultra-ancient history of tens of thousands of years ago has long since been erased, Talia believes that in the eyes of the posterity of that era, Lanclos of the Black Sun should be a famous hero.

It shouldn't be that I have fought for a lifetime, everything that should be lost has been lost, and in the end, I will have to bear the infamy and be slandered for a thousand years.

The two chatted, and up the stairs, the corridor of reason and the corridor of prosperity were revealed.

Just when the two of them were visiting and discussing.

Talia stopped under a painting, and Ranchi stopped, her eyes following her.

The painting depicts a scene of tranquility and serenity.

A beautiful maiden in a long dress lies on a large four-poster bed in Ichrite.

Her eyebrows were slightly closed, her cherry lips were slightly opened, and her expression was quiet and soft, like a sleeping angel.

Her long silver hair spread out on the white pillows, the white silk sheets set off her creamy skin, and outside the window was a lush forest, the trees were lush, and the dappled sunlight between the branches and leaves poured in through the window lattice, casting a swaying light and shadow on the girl.

"The Sleeping Beauty is indeed well received, as the Sleeping Beauty in the painting, although asleep, seems to wake up at any moment, so that the viewer can't help but look forward to the appearance of the prince and wake her up."

Lanch commented.

And the one who can witness her sleeping face, and be waiting for her, is obviously Duke Miya

At this time, Talia beside him did not respond to him, but just looked up at the sleeping beauty in the painting.

I just watched it like this for a long time.

Visitors come and go, only they don't move in front of the painting.

Ranchi didn't bother Talia at this time, and stayed with her very quietly.

"Let's go."

Talia lost her mind and looked away from the painting.

"I'll help you get her back, soon."

Lanch said.

Although it doesn't sound like a guarantee.

But with a sense of certainty that this is what he will do.

When they're ready, it's time to head to the Cress Empire.

It was also the last step he had to take to start his retirement.

"When you need it, all my power is for you."

Talia listened and convinced him.

The two of them walked around, and it was relatively much quieter than they were outside the museum.

Or in other words, they don't have anything to make noise about in the museum, the environment dictates it.

Leaving the main exhibition hall and arriving at the Parrieux Place on the left, they passed by the fountain where the statue of the god of will and love was installed, and they were almost halfway through the Platinumson Palace.

Now it's almost in the direction of the exit.

It's noon in a minute, and it's time to find a restaurant for lunch.

Strolling down the corridor of the annex near the exit of Platinumson Palace, they were suddenly caught by a lively painting around them.

It seems to be a temporary exhibition area, but there are many spectators around, listening to the introduction of the docent.

When the two approached the painting, they immediately recognized the familiar painting.

The canvas presents a deep, dark midnight background, as if under the lights of the temple.

A gray-haired woman in a ragged cloak stood silently, like a beam of moonlight in the night.

Her face is completely obscured by the pigeon, and her wings are stretched in the center of the frame, creating an abrupt and stunning visual impact.

"When you look closely, you can catch a glimpse of the woman's eyes through the wings of the night dove, and they are golden eyes, as clear as amber and as bright as gold."

The docent points to the paintings behind him and preaches to the visitors.

Not only are gentlemen and ladies admiring The Mystery Beauty, but there are also small media interviews going on, with a reporter from the Parrieu broadcasting company holding microphones and camera equipment to interview visitors about the mysterious painting in front of the painting.

"Her gaze pierces through the dove's shadow and falls straight on the viewer, and you can't help but get closer to the painting, wanting to see what this enigmatic beauty really is."

"When you're just a foot away from the painting, the golden eyes of the enigmatic beauty are locked on your face."

"The painter perfectly captured the charm of this moment, forever fixing it on the canvas."

The biggest feature of the painting "Mystery Beauty" is that the more you can't see the complete face of the gray-haired and golden-eyed beauty, the more you will imagine how beautiful and moving she is.

"I've seen the prototype of the mysterious beauty in this painting, she is Miss Tata who took the platinum card maker exam, she is really good-looking, she is a perfect lady, young and talented, even if she doesn't have to dress up, she can't hide her brilliance."

After the narrator finished speaking, the audience also discussed.

"Whew-"

When Lan Qi heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

“……”

Even though Talia was restraining herself with all her might, she still tightened her grip on his hand for half a minute.

"The person who painted this picture, the mysterious examiner of the Hutton Kingdom, must have a crush on her, so he can paint her so charmingly, this perspective is like the moment when a boy meets a girl's heartbeat."

Another visitor said.

That's all he said.

Rankie's smile froze.

And Talia seemed to let out a light laugh.

"I've heard that someone has a crush on me."

Talia stood on her tiptoes and whispered in Ranch's ear before looking ahead again.

"Ranch?"

"Ranch?"

Talia asked twice in a row, but Ranch didn't say anything.

Just when Talia wanted to press Lanch on the shoulder and continue to whisper to him.

The reporter of the Parrieu radio company seemed to have noticed these two intimate men and women, and hurriedly approached.

Isn't this feeling of being about to leave, wanting to refuse and welcome, exactly the state of mind of the author and the gray-haired girl in the painting of "Mystery Beauty" when they first met?

It's as if I saw their shadows in reality!

"May I ask what you two think of this painting, or what kind of mood do you think the author created this portrait of a mysterious beauty?"

The Parrieu Broadcasting Company reporter held up the microphone and enthusiastically asked Ranchi and Talia questions.

"He's better at drawing."

Talia looked up at Ranch beside her with interest.

The reporter also pointed the microphone at Ranch.

"I, I don't know."

Ranch shook his head and waved his hand,

"I can't draw."

He finally seemed to have made up his mind, and said categorically.

……

Behind the corner in the distance, two heads and a cat's head pop up.

In the same position of the pavilion, they dared to get closer to Ranchi and Talia, there were too many shelters.

When they heard Lanch say he couldn't draw, they couldn't hold back.

"Ranch can't draw?"

Etio wondered if he had misheard.

"Why is Brother Ranch so shy, he would rather say that he can't draw than admit that he has a crush on Tata."

Rosalinda had a gloating expression on her face.

"Meow, the tenth ancestor Gaowu is probably going to be angry when he hears this."

Boss Cat shook his head and said.

The other side.

The reporter from the Parrieux radio company hesitated, but reacted quickly.

"So just talk about it, what do you think that painting is in person?"

The reporter raised the microphone again and took out two red lottery tickets from his pocket.

"And participate in our interactive session, and we will give you two fireworks gift certificates!"

At tonight's festival festival at the Temple of Love, you can participate in the lottery with fireworks gift certificates, and there will be various surprise event prizes!

Ranch wasn't much interested in the tickets.

But he noticed that Talia seemed to want it.

Because there seems to be a limited meal reward in the prize pool.

"The author apparently depicts a story about a teenager who accidentally takes the figure of a wandering girl for a poor and poor old lady, and then when he closes his gaze, he realizes that she seems to be a young beauty, and then he can't help but take a third look at her, but this time he happens to fail to see her clearly, only her figure and eyes full of puzzles."

Ranch said as if he was forced to do business.

"Although it is different from the evaluation of connoisseurs, this gentleman gives a novel answer, full of imaginative romance."

After listening to this, the reporter smiled and said to the camera,

"Thank you for interacting and have a great day."

He handed the ticket to Ranchi.

Ranchi also took it and thanked him, then folded it slightly and handed it to Talia.

"Thank you."

Satisfied, Talia slipped it into her pocket and led him away.

Until the reporter walked away from this temporary exhibition hall.

"You really looked at me three times that day?"

Talia asked him unconvinced.

"Acted."

Ranch muttered to himself.

“……”

Talia believes that Ranch has an acting component in front of the camera.

He bypassed his own questions.

It is impossible to judge the truth of his previous words by the truth of this answer.

"Then if the scene in this painting is not what you really see......"

Talia muttered in confusion, as if asking a question that only she could hear,

"How do you know what my pigeons look like?"

The dark carrier pigeon on this painting is exactly her one.

“！”

Ranch immediately turned around.

"I was drunk and had a vague memory, so I can't give you an exact answer."

Rankie's right hand immediately grabbed Talia's shoulder, looking into her eyes,

"I just remember sitting in front of the canvas, and what I painted next was what I thought, and of course you were the leading actors, and I used the film under my eyes to make the most beautiful picture of you."

He pressed his emotions and quickly explained to her.

"Huh?"

For a moment, Taria's cheeks felt a little hot.

Ranch's hand was held like this.

Hold on to your shoulders.

Look directly at his face up close, and the earnest emerald green pupils.

She felt a little unsure of what to do again.

Wrong wrong.

Can't be fooled by him.

Presumably he's going to say something damn in the next second!

However.

Her erratic attitude seemed to make Ranchi even more nervous.

"I looked at you a few times, I don't have an answer, and I don't want to understand, if the only thing that cannot be argued is that you are beautiful."

Ranch replied firmly.

"I see, so it was."

Taria's voice raised a few points.

She broke away from Lanchi slightly, but instead took him by the way, dragging him forward, walking in front of him to prevent him from seeing her expression.

For a moment, Talia almost became the same hand and foot.

She realizes her mistake and is seen by Lanch.

No, everything is still being planned.

Talia shook her head vigorously.

My reaction just now should be very similar to "a girl in love", and it successfully disgusted him......

She covered her cheek with the back of her left hand and cuff, and looked sideways to herself.
