Chapter 035: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
Around the corner, watching Lena walk into the house, Don helped her back and turned to exit Riverside Street.
Walking to the side of the main road, Don hailed a carriage.
Outside the car window, Nangang at night looks very noisy, full of people who come here to seek excitement.
Tang En looked at the scene outside in a daze, and fell into silence......
From a killer's point of view, the old butler is always right. Kill Lena and keep her identity from being revealed. Is it cruel...... Sort of, according to the old butler - it's the price!
This is the price of not preparing in advance, the assassination failure, and Zuihou encumbering others...... But, fuck, it's clear that I did something wrong myself, and weishenme has to pay the price for the people who saved me?
"Thinking too much, thinking too much...... Donne, you're a killer!", Donn whispered, covering his face.
Don didn't know what he was holding on...... I have taken several missions, and I have killed a lot of people. Well, even if the gangsters are all bad guys...... But last night, his blood qi value increased by 200. That is, in the melee, at least three or four cavalrymen died at their own hands. Are cavalry bad guys...... Who knows......
"Fake!", Donn slammed his fist on the top of the carriage. That's it, if your injuries are healed, let's leave Laiyan City as soon as possible......
"Sir, it's time to get there. ”
"Xiexie, pull over!"
After walking for about five minutes, Don came to his small attic on the second floor.
After looking left and right, some small mechanisms in front of the house were not touched. Just in the gap under the door, there is a newspaper sandwiched.
Don picked up the newspaper and opened the door.
"82 Assassins died...... Ghostface is injured...... Bowes? It's the one with the greatsword. ”
Through the Lai Yan tabloid, Don got a general idea of what happened last night. For being able to get away with it, Don was once again glad that he was able to escape.
Due to the severity of the trauma, it is not advisable to go out. Tang En simply stayed in the small attic and closed the door.
Fortunately, he still has room for the system, and through this incident, Tang En also realized the power of the masters of fighting spirit in another world. The thirst for a powerful liliang is even stronger.
As soon as he had time, Don stayed in the space training ground, improving his body's speed, liliang, reflexes and other indicators.
Of course, for skills, Tang En is also diligent in training. The battle against Bernie made him realize that he still hadn't fully used his skills. In the past, he used a single skill, and he never thought of stacking two skills.
But last time, he was in a hurry, and he used both haste and ghost, and he broke through Bernie's marksmanship in an instant.
Although there is an element of luck in this, it at least shows that this direction is the right one. As long as you can control this speed, your strength will undoubtedly increase by a notch.
The world's martial arts are invincible, only fast and unbreakable...... This is especially true for the Assassins!
............
On this day, after Don came out of the endurance training ground, he lay on a chair in the backyard to bask in the sun and relax.
After all, space training, although it does not consume real physical strength, still feels a little tired mentally.
The sun in late autumn and early winter always has a kind of lazy magic.
Within a moment, Don was a little drowsy.
Uproar -
Suddenly, there was a sound of paper rolling, and Donn's ears moved, and he ignored it.
He was used to it, and it must have been the painter's neighbor who was said to be the eldest son of the lord of the castle drying his work again.
Hey...... Don reached out and grabbed it, "Hula", and when he opened his eyes, he saw a wide piece of drawing paper in his hand.
There was no doubt that the wind must have been blowing, and Don gave a small thumbs up on his reaction to hearing the sound.
Unfolding the drawing paper casually, Tang En couldn't help but be stunned. ...,
This is a nude portrait of a naked man, with his arms outstretched and his legs together. The proportions of the organs on the body are moderate, and the hair is lifelike, which is really a masterpiece of human sketching. But on this man's body, there are still all kinds of lines drawn, which looks a bit messy and destroys the beauty......
What kind of genre is this? Don En pouted, there is no future, you can also paint a woman, but it's a pity that this realistic brush......
Knock, knock, knock......
There was a knock on the attic door.
Tang En was stunned, his address here, no one except Allen knew. And Alan only came to deliver the newspaper in the morning.
Don ascended to the second floor first and lifted the curtains. I saw a middle-aged man with long blond hair and a decadent temperament standing in front of the gate.
Don knew in an instant who it was, it was Robert Bess, the eldest son of his painter neighbor and Lord of the Earl, who had not run away...... Because at this time he was holding a paintbrush in his hand, and his crumpled robe still had a little oil paint. "Knock, knock, knock!" Bess knocked on the door again.
Sure it wasn't an ambush, Donn went downstairs and opened the door.
Bess bowed and said, "Sorry to interrupt me. My painting may have flown to your backyard......"
"Oh yes. Come with me. Donn turned sideways and invited Bass in.
"Xiexie!", this bass seems very quiet, and the Bevin who exudes a strong sense of presence is completely different from the one that Donn has seen.
Tang En said casually: "You're welcome...... By the way, that sketch of the human body is very good, very realistic. ”
Bes's eyes lit up visibly and said, "You know this?"
"Uh, a little bit of understanding, a little bit of ......," Don touched his nose. His former girlfriend studied art, and in order to catch up with her, he didn't chew less books in this area, and he was mixed up with a pseudo-literary realm.
"Forgive me, well, why do you draw so many lines on that sketch of the human body?"
"Because I found that there are so many mysteries of the human body, after measurement, I found that the length of the human body foot from the heel to the toe is equivalent to the length of the human arm from the inside of the elbow to the wrist...... And the width of our nose is about ...... of the width of an eye", probably a rare person to communicate with, bass seemed very excited, gushing about his findings.
Don was shocked, of course he knew what Bess said. He once read an art book that described this theory of human proportions. But he didn't expect that this bass had already discovered this phenomenon.
"After finding these parts of the same proportion, I thought that there should be a large proportion of the whole human body, but unfortunately, I haven't found ...... yet," Bess said regretfully.
As they spoke, the two walked to the backyard.
Tang En's heart moved, "Lend me your paintbrush." ”
"Huh?" Bess asked, handing the brush over.
Donn picked up his paintbrush and brushed a few strokes on the portrait.
"Huh......" Bess stepped forward excitedly, almost pressing his entire eye on the paper.
When the man stood with his arms outstretched, his head, feet, and fingers were each pointed, and it looked exactly a square from the outside. ”
"Incredible...... Unbelievably ......", Bess trembled and stared at the portrait as if enchanted.
Donn continued, "If you draw a pair of slightly diagonally raised arms and crossed legs, with his navel as the center, and the feet and fingers as the ends, just outside a circle. ”
After listening to this, the bass snatched the brush back, and with a wave of the nib, it instantly added a pair of arms and feet to the naked man. With a flick of the wrist, a standard circle connects it all.
"Whew...... Really, it's true, how do you know? How do you know?" Bass gasped, looking crazy. ...,
How do I know? That's because I'm standing on the shoulders of giants...... Don said secretly in his heart.
Of course, he didn't discover all this, but when he was chewing on his knowledge of art, he remembered a few famous paintings. These phenomena of human proportions are shown in Leonardo da Vinci's famous work "The Vitruvian Man". At that time, Don found it very interesting, so he remembered it vividly.
Naturally, there was no way to tell Bess about all this, so Don had no choice but to say, "I found it by chance." ”
"Accidentally, it can't be, if you don't study it for a long time, you can't find out...... I'm going to worship you as a teacher!" Bess said excitedly, grabbing Donn's hand.
Uh, Don En was dumbfounded instantly, worship me as a teacher? What are you kidding, I even drew a square crookedly just now, aren't you blind when you worship me as a teacher?
..................
Don struggled to explain for a long time before he reluctantly convinced Bess that he was really an art idiot, belonging to a pure theorist school who could only watch, not move.
"Miracles, you're a true genius!" Bess complimented. Zuihou graciously invites Donn to visit his paintings and give him pointers.
As long as he didn't let him be a master, Tang En naturally agreed. Liandao will definitely go to watch it tomorrow.
Bess was refreshed, and immediately said, "I'll go back and prepare." ”
After speaking, he picked up the sketch and turned around and left.
Leaving Tang En alone and staying in place, he shook his head halfway and said, "I'm just polite...... Sure enough, people who play art are crazy!"
(PS: Old rules, two things.)
1. Bow down and thank the book friends "Ladder-Yunzhong" and "NGSTONE" for their rewards. Well, there's also the "crying devil" who sends renewal tickets. ”
2. Ahem, I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm startled when I see it. My book friend has the impression that there are eight "complete books must be gods...... Why is it difficult to make it difficult for silk, I am a kind tanuki, the curse is too vicious, let me go......^-^. )
