Chapter 65: The Lady's Invitation
Although the Karente Empire is strong, because it is located in the north, the folk customs are relatively fierce, so the development of art is not good, not to mention that it is not as good as the elven country known as the artistic race, and there is a huge gap between the holy Ureon Kingdom, which loves art the most in the human country, and even several neighboring small countries in the south.
But the people who can participate in the art rally are, of course, have good artistic qualities, so they can tell that what Leo said is not copying a certain senior.
But he is so young, how can he make such a wonderful comment on literature that needs to be accumulated, and he also sums up art appropriately.
Although there were some doubts about Leo's comments, the host couldn't help but give face, and many people cooperated with Wells's call and raised their wine glasses to take a sip.
Then, a man with Phnom Penh eyes stood up and said, "Mr. Minahir, I am also a lover of literature, but at your age, I am still reading some entertainment books that are not very literary. I wonder how you were able to make such an apt comment on the Epic of Denega?"
The implication is obvious, he doesn't believe that Leo can have such a high level of literary appreciation, which also represents the thoughts of many people at the moment.
"It all starts with where I came from. Leo expected some doubts and continued: "Actually, I am a commoner, and my living conditions as a child were very difficult. ”
As soon as they heard that he was a civilian, many people seemed to understand something after thinking about it, and Wiki directly added: "But that doesn't affect your love of literature, does it?"
"It's the love of online novels......" Leo muttered in his heart, looking at everyone's expressions, he knew that he was right. When he first arrived, Wellster emphasized that in the face of art, there is no distinction between high and low. And the artists who can associate with him must have this idea to a greater or lesser extent.
He nodded to the wiki. Leo said: "Yes, the hard life did not affect my love of literature, but it allowed me to feel the mood and thoughts of the characters depicted in the story. In the epic of Deniga, the protagonist Deniga is a hero of civilian origin, his childhood was very unfortunate, he was almost not fed and clothed, but he had his own ideals and dreams, he was firm and confident, he dared to pursue, and he was not afraid of difficulties. And it is this character that makes him a great hero!"
"But what I want to say is that suffering is more able to make people grow, and life is too smooth, but it is easy to make people think. Leo looked around and asked, "Isn't it? Maybe I'm still young, but I've been through hardships, and some things are only known until they hurt." will reflect, and some problems and things will gradually be more clearly understood in thinking. Therefore, suffering is the medicine of life and the accumulation of art. Suffering has made me understand the meaning of what the author wants to express, and understand the desire for beauty in literature!"
As an artist. These people are basically sentimental, very idealistic, pursuing beauty and eternity, and ignoring immediate practical gains. Hearing this, they all fell into thought.
"What is the relationship between suffering and art? Is it because of the good life within me that I can't achieve serious achievements in art?"
Wissell immediately agreed: "Quite right. There are too many wonderful literary and artistic works in history, which the author was able to complete after suffering. And many artists do not hesitate to devote themselves to suffering in order to be able to create more moving works. ”
Even His Royal Highness the Prince said this, and the man who questioned Leo suddenly had a puzzled face: "I apologize for my questioning, maybe it is my aristocratic status and privileged life that blinded me." Maybe I should also let go of my identity and go to the bottom of society to experience and observe, which will definitely be more helpful to my artistic creation. ”
Leo was about to respond a few words, when he suddenly found that Wisel was also nodding frequently, and his heart couldn't help but beat violently. It would be a disaster to let Alice know that she had come on such a trip only to make His Royal Highness obsessed with drawing artistic nourishment from suffering. He hurriedly persuaded, "No, you don't have to. Suffering is only part of the story, and many excellent works can only be inspired by a good life. ”
Looking at the handsome and young Leo, a twenty-eight or nineteen-year-old lady with a charming look in her eyes, she asked, "Mr. Minahill, I am Meria of the Earl of Dylan, and I am very inspired by your arguments, do you have any literary works that I can appreciate?"
Leo kept smiling and replied, "I'm sorry, I'm still in the learning stage, and I haven't created any literature yet. ”
"Also, you are still so young, as long as you can continue on the road of literature, I think you will be able to write very good works. Meria encouraged, then changed her words: "Recently I am working on a play called Mina and the Trojan Horse, and if I can, I would like you to come to my home and offer some suggestions for my work." ”
Such an invitation makes many men very envious, although Melia is not famous in the art circle, but both in appearance and figure, it is very desirable, and I heard that ten years ago, her husband died shortly after she got married, and she still has no partner. Such an invitation is by no means as simple as offering some suggestions.
Of course, Leo didn't know about this, but he really didn't have much interest in art, not to mention that he still had a lot to do, so he politely refused: "I'm going to take the magic joint exam next, and I may not have much time in the near future." ”
At the same time, he muttered in his heart, "Alas, although the effect is good, it is too tiring to deal with it like this, hurry up and let me finish the exam and enter the magic academy." ”
Meria was a little disappointed, but still insisted: "It's okay, then we'll make an appointment when you have time." ”
Sensing that Leo was embarrassed, Vicky suddenly exclaimed, "I think we should have another drink." ”
"Indeed it should. Everyone raised their glasses, responded in unison, and greeted Leo.
This time, no one doubted his qualifications for such an art gathering.
However, Leo found that he did not have a wine glass in his hand, but fortunately, a servant with a plate came up and asked softly, "Sir, do you need wine?"
"It really needs it, thank you. Leo picked up the wine glass, and suddenly felt something strange in his hand.
Without waiting to feel it carefully, Vicky grabbed him by the shoulder and said with joy on his face, "Come on, let's have a toast." ”
"Cheers. Leo made a modest gesture and deftly detached himself from the wiki's arm, then bowed to the crowd, raised his wine glass, and drank it down.
The servant who was waiting on the side had a twinkle in his eyes, and hurriedly handed over another glass of red wine and replaced the empty glass in Leo's hand. And after that fork just now, Leo completely forgot to reminisce about the strange feeling that came from the wine glass just now.
............
In one of the rooms of the villa, a middle-aged man in leather armor sat on the sofa, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was taking a nap, but from the fingers that kept tapping on the armrest of the sofa, it could be seen that he was not as calm as he appeared.
I don't know how long later, just as the man was feeling more and more uneasy, a man dressed as a servant walked in.
The man was agitated and ejected from the sofa: "Darian, why did you come back?"
"There are a lot of people over there, and if I'm not careful, it's easy to cause trouble. Darien replied as he reluctantly removed the realistic mask from his face.
The man hurriedly said, "Don't ...... Maybe the captain will need you to find out later. ”
Darien said impatiently: "If the captain needs it, it's too uncomfortable to bring this thing, I really can't bear it." ”
"Oh well. The man knew he couldn't command Dalyan, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Darien replied indifferently, "Although it is not accurate, his mental power level can definitely only be regarded as average. (To be continued......)
