A beautifully framed portrait lies on the floor, with some damage to the border and canvas, and a few stains. It looks like Mr. Bartow is drawn on it, and it's lifelike.

In this world, a work of art is one of the most valuable things. The value of an ordinary painter's work alone is comparable to that of gold and precious stones, but other goods placed on the counter are cheaper. Because many things can be solved with just a movement of a magic wand, but painting can't. The whole process of painting a painting must not be interfered with by magic, which is an unwritten rule that all painters will consciously abide by. People pursue art in its purest form, so no magic is allowed in their works. Once detected, what awaits him may be ruined. Moreover, painting requires talent to a large extent, and the whole learning process is not easier than learning magic, so when choosing this path at the beginning, you also need to think twice, because once you are not recognized by the world, it not only means that you have lost the ability to support your family, but also means that you miss the best time to learn magic, and you may be destitute in your future life.

In short, being an artist is an extremely respected profession in this world, and large families often have close contacts with some well-known painters. Just like the Bartows.

Because of his roar, the number of onlookers increased, and even those who looked like guests who were dining in the next few rooms went out to check on the situation.

"Who's in trouble?" Alan thought, and looked over there.

But when he saw the figure surrounded by servants, his heart instantly chuckled......

It's Riel.

"You just said ...... Who is this swearing?" Alan whispered to Alyssa. An ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"The one I heard talking to Mr. Bartow last night probably be Mr. Barto's son. "He was the same one the night we came...... Judging by the tone of his voice, I thought he wasn't such a short-tempered person......"

It seems that since learning that his father is about to become vice president, little Bato's temper seems to have risen a lot.

"Not good...... Something big seems to have happened......" Alan whispered.

"What's wrong?" Because Alyssa was relatively short, she couldn't see who was being scolded, but after looking at Alan's face, she understood: "Is it ...... Is it Riel?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Alan heard Barto Jr. start yelling again: "This painting is by Fischel, the most famous painter in Crivary...... Tell me, who are you? a thief, or are you here to eat rice? If you dare to tell half a lie, I will immediately lock you up in the misty forest to eat earthworms!"

Perhaps frightened, Riel didn't squeak, just stood still.

"Ho, good boy, do you dare to stare at me, do you know who I am!?" Barto's voice almost doubled, looking angry, "Looks like you've had enough of your comfortable days......

Alan was really panicked when he heard this...... Now that the Winslow family is dominant, the status of the Bartow family has also risen a lot, and judging from his current mood, it is impossible for him to really do such a thing......

Thinking of this, Alan hurriedly ran over there. Explain it to Riel and apologize well, you can pay as much as you want, and you have to solve this matter quickly...... Although judging from what Bassto Jr. just said, the money they brought with them may not be enough......

However, before he could run to Little Bato, Norton, the butler who had been missing for the past two days, suddenly came from the other side of the corridor in a panic: "Young master, please wait a minute!"

I don't know what magic is in the old butler's words, but I saw him hurry up to Little Bartow and whisper to him, and then Little Barto's mood immediately calmed down.

Alan only heard Norton's last words say, "This is what the lord told me last night." ”

"Hmph, you're in luck!" Little Barto looked like he wanted to lose his temper, but he had to endure it, so he stared at Riel viciously and said, "But you can't afford to look at your poor sourness! Then hurry up and pack your things and get out!"

"Little problem, little problem, I've disturbed you......" With that, he changed his smile and beckoned the guests to continue to eat.

"You guys, do you have anything else to take?" said Norton as little Barto walked up.

It was clear that he had come to enforce Bartow's eviction order......

"Uh...... I don't have ......," Alan said.

"My bag is still in the room. Cecilis said.

"Then give you five minutes, the sooner the better. Norton said expressionlessly, "If the young master comes out later and sees you still here, I won't be able to help." ”

"All right!" said Cecilis, who trotted all the way to it, and soon trotted back again.

"Then come with me. Norton said.

He led the men all the way to the door, where the carriage that had brought them was already waiting.

"Young master, he has lost his temper easily since he was a child, don't take it to heart. Norton said as they walked. As if to control the speed of the car, the young man who always followed him was still sitting in the car.

"Uh...... It's okay......" Alan said, "it's our fault first......"

"That painting is my lord's favorite work, and as you have heard, it is worth a fortune. ”

"Uh...... Thank you for your help, I don't know how to thank you......" Alan said.

"It's okay, it's a gesture. ”

They walked and talked, and in a few moments they came to the main road facing the street.

Alan was a little surprised that Norton had sent them all the way here...... Is there anything else you want to say?

Sure enough, he guessed right.

"These are commanded by the master, so please take them. Norton said as he gave the young man a look.

The young man got out of the car, took out a few small money bags from his pocket, and handed them to Alan and the others.

"A little bit of practice. Norton suddenly raised his voice and said, "I wish you all the best and success in your studies." ”

Alan took it and found it to be quite heavy.

During the day, the city of Krivari is very lively, and the road is full of traffic. When the people around saw it, they also stopped and watched.

Perhaps to prevent a blockade here, Norton patted the unicorn on the back and sent them off for a while. Alan didn't even have time to say thank you.

Alan was a little confused for a moment, and didn't understand Norton at all...... Oh no, I don't understand what Mr. Bartow is trying to do......

"Heh, he's such a good butler......" Just as Alan was still a little surprised, Alyssa suddenly spoke, but there was still some sarcasm in her words, "The master must do what he says, and maintain the image of the Barto family everywhere." ”

Alan looked at her a little confused, reached out and handed her one of the money bags, only to find that she didn't seem to be going to take it.

"It's worthy of being a relative of the Winslow family, and even the way of doing things is the same......" Alyssa looked at the money bag, but still didn't take it, but turned her eyes out the window, "Do you want to use these ill-gotten gains to win people's hearts?"
