Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 241 Drawing and Exchange Meeting
"It feels like your skills have improved a lot recently." After eating a piece of bread with grilled bacon and fried eggs, Liang En praised Jeanne who was sitting across the table and ate hard.

Unlike many modern young women who advocate weight loss, they usually eat vegetarian food. Although Joan's overall appetite is not large, she does not reject high-calorie foods such as meat or dairy products.

Thinking about it, after all, Joan of Arc is a soldier in the cold weapon era, so it is very normal to pursue some high-calorie food, otherwise it will be difficult for her to have enough energy to support herself to participate in the battle, which consumes a lot of physical energy. big event.

"Ah, I just found some simple recipes on the phone." Joan of Arc showed a shy smile on her face, and then changed the subject to, "What are we going to do today?"

"I need you to be my model in a while, and I want to draw a few pictures." Liang En said with a smile. This was mainly because of the cooperation with TYPE-MOON, so he naturally needed to provide the other party with various materials.

For example, during the trip to the turquoise mine and the Mediterranean Sea this time, he used those scenes as prototypes to draw a lot of fantasy-style background patterns.

But now, he plans to draw a Joan of Arc who is somewhat different from the character in Fate in his previous life, so he simply started painting with Joan of Arc as a model, adding some accurate historical data.

"I feel that the few pictures of Joan of Arc you drew this time are a little different from other pictures." Just after he finished all the pictures and sent them to Japan at noon, Takeuchi Takashi quickly contacted him.

"That is to say, these pictures are better than the other pictures, especially the characters on them seem to come alive, and even give people a sacred feeling."

"This may be because I visited the hometown of Joan of Arc when I was traveling in France for two days." Liang En was stunned for a moment, and then typed quickly. "I had a little feeling in that place."

"Ah, then you are very lucky." Also as a painter, Takashi Takeuchi naturally knows that for artists, after being stimulated under certain circumstances, they will create some works that are far beyond the ordinary level.

So in his opinion, Liang En should have felt something when he visited the hometown of Joan of Arc, and then entered into a situation similar to epiphany to create those works.

Takeuchi Takashi naturally felt very envious of this situation. After all, everyone was an art professional, so he certainly knew how elusive such a situation similar to epiphany was.

"I will frame these original paintings of yours and put them in the company office. To be honest, compared with your previous settings, these few paintings are simply works of art, especially those two purely real-life ones. Character sketches—"

"It can only be said that I am lucky." Seeing the line of words appearing on the screen, Liang En typed on the keyboard with a little guilt, because he really couldn't say that it was because he followed the real Joan of Arc's painting from.

In the next two days, Liang En spent almost all of his time writing the report on this archaeological excavation operation, because compared with the excavation itself, the archaeological report is even more important.

After breakfast on the third day, he basically completed the basic framework of the report, and took Joan of Arc to the Wellesley Hotel in London's Knights District by car according to the invitation he sent before.

The Wellesley Hotel is located in the Knights District, one of the most high-end communities in London. It is a 5-star hotel. It is about two kilometers away from a series of London attractions such as the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, and Hyde Park.

"It seems that these people have saved their money." Liang En got out of the car and took a look at the white main entrance, which didn't look too big, and walked in with Joan of Arc.

After showing her invitation card, a waitress in a navy blue windbreaker and a red silk scarf around her neck led them through the hall to a hall behind.

At this time, the meeting place was almost full of people, and Liang En and Joan of Arc naturally did not attract too much attention from other people when they entered.

At most, only a few people near the door took a look at this combination of East Asian and European, but after realizing that these two people were familiar faces, they turned their heads and went about their own business.

The venue does not look crowded overall, at least 1/3 of the space is empty.After all, this place is an exchange for professionals, and it's not a big sale in a supermarket, so naturally there won't be many people crowded.

"Hey, Lawrence, here—" Not long after Liang En entered the restaurant, a purposely lowered voice came from not far from the side.

Liang En turned his head, only to see Pierce and his father standing in front of a slightly low glass cabinet waving to him, so he hurried over with Joan of Arc.

"Is this lady the pen pal you mentioned earlier?" Pierce first greeted Liang En, and then asked in a low voice while looking at Joan of Arc.

The reason why Pierce said this is because from the moment Joan of Arc was summoned, those people who are more familiar with Liang En will vaguely remember that Liang En seems to have a foreign pen pal.

Although Liang En doesn't know exactly how the card does this, it should be similar to the process of turning part of reality with the power converted from legendary information.

At least compared to the sudden appearance of Joan of Arc in the world, the operation of leaving certain impressions in some people's minds is obviously much simpler.

"Yes, she is my pen pal. She has been living in a monastery in the east of France before." Liang En nodded and said, "She has graduated from high school now, so she came to find me—"

What charter is this today? After chatting for a while, Liang En brought the topic back to the business of the exchange meeting, "I see that there are a lot of booths in this place, but these glass cabinets look like they are about to hold an auction. "

"Because according to the arrangement, everyone will communicate in private from now until 4 pm, and there will be a buffet at noon. Then the auction will start from 4:30 pm until 7 pm."

Pierce explained in a low voice the specific regulations of this exchange meeting and the surrounding situation, including the purpose of these glass cabinets.

"These glass cases you are looking at now contain most of the items that will be auctioned in the evening auction. Only the last few important auction items are not on display."

"It seems that the quality of the auction tonight is quite high." Seeing a golden cross that looked as tall as a human's forearm contained in the glass cabinet behind Pierce, Liang En nodded slightly.

This cross is inlaid with various precious stones, and it looks extremely exquisitely made. Judging from the style, it should have been moved from an important Orthodox church.

In fact, most of the gorgeous crosses on the market today come from Eastern Europe and Russia.This is mainly related to the changes in Russia after the end of World War I that many of these antiques were sold abroad in exchange for wealth.

"By the way, what is the most important auction item today?" Liang En asked in a low voice while looking at this gorgeous cross.

After all, the grade of the entire auction can be seen from this cross, so he is a little curious about what the real finale is.
