Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2676
Angel did see oil paintings in the Stairway to Hell in the Nightmare Realm.But these oil paintings are all gathered on the top floor, which is the residence of the warden.

The warden of the Hanging Ladder seems to be a person who loves oil paintings very much. Where he lives, there are a lot of paintings in every corridor.These paintings are all masterpieces of famous artists.

Back then, when Angel left the Hanging Ladder, he even picked two paintings from the warden's gallery and brought them back to reality.

Those two paintings are still lying in Ingres's bracelet.

The oil painting on the wall of the ruins was naturally not one of the two that Angel brought out, but he had seen similar paintings in the warden's gallery.

In other words, this painting is most likely from the top of the hanging ladder, the warden's gallery.

But how did it get here from the warden's gallery?Was it because of the void storm that the oil paintings inside were scattered, and it just happened to land here?Or is it that the entire wall here is actually part of the warden's gallery?

Angel thought for a while, and approached the location of the painting.

Before he got to the painting, Angel was sure that this wall did not come from the warden's gallery, but the wall of the cell that originally belonged to the second floor.Because the wall material of the warden's gallery is the same as that of the picture frame, both are precious lacquered wood, the only difference is that the wall is pasted with dark purple frosted paper.

But the walls on the ruins are made of a mixture of stone and wood, which is a relatively cheap material, even cheaper than the previous deep-sea wood. The only advantage is that it has a relatively strong conductivity and can carry the energy channels of the magic array. .

While the walls are not the gallery walls on the top floor, the paintings do belong to the warden's collection.

This is an idyllic oil painting. In the distance is a golden harvest of wheat and a large number of peasant women working hard.There is also a peasant woman nearby, but she is not working, but resting against a tree. From the sweat on her temples and the farming gloves on the side, it can be seen that she should be in the middle of working or leisurely after working. Easy moment.The golden curly hair leaked from the side of the turban, the young and energetic beautiful side face, the beautiful green eyes looking at the distant mountains, with strands of tenderness in the eyes, it seems that there is her beloved lover in the distant mountains.

The background is the warm tones of the early autumn harvest, and the aperture in the afternoon is hazy. The whole picture does not use too many colors, but it shows a rich sense of layering.

Angel was impressed with this oil painting because it was a rare leisurely painting in the warden's collection.

Other paintings are either profound, abstract, realistic, or portraits.

There are very few free and interesting paintings.

Precisely because of the lack of leisurely fun paintings, among the two oil paintings Angel brought out at the beginning, he also chose a leisurely fun painting - "Shepherd Milking the Milk".

This "Afternoon Pastoral Picture" was also selected by Ingres at the time, so the memory is very deep.

"Is there something wrong with this painting?" At this time, Earl Hei also flew over.

Earl Hei's voice was obviously puzzled, because Angor should have heard the conversation between him and the wise man before.The wise master made it clear that the wood spirit is not here, so why would Angel still linger in front of this painting?
Others also looked at Angel curiously.Angel seldom does superfluous things. He stayed in front of this painting, did he discover something else?

Angel: "I'm just curious, why is this painting hanging here?"

Although Angel was answering Earl Hei, his eyes were on the wise master.

The wise ruler raised his eyebrows: "Why can't it hang here?"

Angel: "I think this kind of artwork should be hung in a beautiful gallery, not in this kind of ruin. Someone should have hung it here, right?"

The wise ruler smiled but did not answer.

He thought that Angel had really discovered something, but he was just curious about the painting appearing here.

It's right to think about it, how could a younger generation recognize an unknown painting ten thousand years ago.

Angel turned his head and looked at the wise man: "Is this painting hung here by the wise man?"

The wise master shook his head: "No."

After a pause, the wise master said again: "If you want to know more detailed answers, you may wish to exchange answers with me."

At this time, the wise master took the initiative to mention the exchange of answers, which surprised Earl Hei slightly.Because this means that the wise master thinks that this question is worth exchanging with Angor.

In other words, the identity of the person who hung this painting should not be simple.

Angel also heard the overtones of the wise master, but Angel shook his head: "Forget it, I'm here to find the wood spirit this time, let's put other things aside for now."

The wise master didn't care about Angel's choice, so he smiled and stepped aside.

But just when the wise man was about to return to the void road, he suddenly saw Wai who was facing him, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked behind him in astonishment.

At the same time, Doakes also exclaimed: "What is this, wood spirit?"

When the wise master heard this sentence, he paused and immediately turned his head to look.

But I saw Angel's hand, at some point, stretched into the painting.From the painting, a dark brown log was slowly pulled out.

The log was pulled out by Angel little by little, and the picture of the oil painting seemed to become the surface of a lake with sparkling ripples.

Everyone was stunned at Angel's actions, and even the wise master showed surprise.

How... how did he know?
Under everyone's gaze, Angel pulled the dark brown log about two meters long and ten centimeters thick out of the painting.

But as the log completely left the oil painting, the tree on which the peasant woman was leaning against in the oil painting seemed to be dead, with all the leaves withered and only the withered trunk left.

Such changes have been amazing, but the accident is not over yet.

The peasant woman in the painting originally showed her side face, looking at the distant mountains affectionately, but at this moment, the peasant woman turned her head and revealed her full face.On the other side of her face, there was a pitch-black void, and the tenderness in the peasant woman's eyes also turned into hatred.

The peasant woman gave Angel a fierce look, and then disappeared into a thin layer of black smoke.

At this time, the oil painting picture changed again.

The withered trees grew leaves again, and the disappearing peasant woman reappeared, but this time, the peasant woman was no longer a young and beautiful blonde woman, but a brown-haired girl with ponytail and freckles.

This picture appeared for a moment, and then, the picture began to change again.

The picture becomes obsolete at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Starting from being as clean as new, it slowly became yellow and mottled, the drawing paper began to crack and cracked into fine dust, and finally, the painting completely disappeared, leaving only an empty frame.

"What the hell is going on here? Why did the painting change? The woman with a black hole on one side of her face turned into a freckled girl? What is this wood? What happened to the painting turning into fly ash?"

Doakes' questions popped up one by one.

In normal times, such a series of questionable machine guns by Doakes would definitely cause the Black Earl to snort coldly.But this time, Earl Hei did not stop Doakes, because he also wanted to know these questions.

Angel ignored Doakes, but carefully looked at the heavy log in his hand.

There was no response for quite a while, Earl Hei couldn't help asking, "Is this the wood spirit?"

With such a hidden wood, the first thing everyone thinks of is the wood spirit.However, Earl Hei was a little puzzled. If this was the wood spirit, why did the wise master lie to him before, saying that there was a trap here, and the wood spirit must not be here?
Since the wise master asked them to look for the wood spirit, there was no need to deliberately lie to him.

Moreover, Earl Hei had inspected this painting before, and found no abnormality at all. How did Angel discover it?
Angel: "It's not the wood spirit, but it should have something to do with it."

When Angel said this, he looked at the wise master.

This time, the wise master did not remain silent, but said in a low voice: "This is the first time when I saw the wood spirit here, it played a shelling drama to avoid me. It should have made it, Or a derivative of its body."

After the wise man finished speaking, he asked directly: "How did you discover it?"

"Is it an exchange of answers now?" Angel replied casually.

The wise man didn't make a sound, but stared at Angel quietly with three eyes, as if trying to see through him.However, this is just an illusion, and the direct gaze of the wise man is only expressed by Angel with illusion, without any deterrent effect.

However, Angel did not try to provoke the wise man at this time, avoided his gaze, and then said indifferently: "I just happened to have seen this painting."

"Have you seen this painting?" The wise man wondered, "Impossible, how could you have seen it?"

Angel: "Scarrob."

The wise ruler asked doubtfully, "He is..."

Angel: "Don't you know that the wise master, Scarob Wright, is the author of this painting."

The wise man really doesn't know who the author of this painting is. Although as an alchemist, he has a certain understanding of aesthetics, but after all, he majors in pharmacy, and what requires painting and aesthetics is partial to gold and stone.

Moreover, although this painting is very good, it is only a painting of ordinary people after all. It is mounted in a frame made of extraordinary materials, and the wise think it is a waste, let alone appreciate and study it.

The one who was really interested in the painting was Franklin, the warden of the Stairway to Hell, and one of the core masters of Naraku City.

Now that Angel mentioned the name of a painter, the wise master really couldn't judge whether what he said was true or not.

"Although I haven't seen the original paintings, I have been fortunate enough to have seen some short collections of this artist's works, um... It was collected by an alchemist who loves paintings. There are imitations of this artist's works in the short collections, which seem to be sorted out by later generations Yes." After confirming that the wise man didn't know the artist's name, Angel began to make it up.

"In addition to this "Afternoon Pastoral Picture", there are some other paintings, such as "Picture of Shepherd Milking Milk", "Fisherman Returning at Night", "Looking towards the Sunset"..."

While talking, Angel used illusion to simulate oil paintings.

In other people's eyes, in terms of style, it is indeed very similar to the previous painting.

But in the eyes of the wise master, he has impressions of several of them, and it seems that Franklin has collected his original works.

Could it be that what he said was true, did he really know what the original painting looked like?
The wise man did not believe that Angel had seen this oil painting at all before, because it was the work of a mortal painter, and this mortal painter had been thousands of years ago.

Even if the other party was a very famous painter at the time, ten thousand years would be enough for everyone to forget him.

But now someone said that he had seen the other party's painting, the wise man couldn't believe it.

But the wise man really had an impression of the example Angor gave, so he couldn't find anything to refute.

Moreover, when a wise man thinks about it carefully, it seems that there is indeed such a possibility.

Ordinary people cannot make the works of painters spread for thousands of years, but it is possible for wizards.Franklin likes the artist's work, shouldn't other wizards be allowed to like the artist's work?
Angle also mentioned a key point.It is the 'Alchemist' who collected the other's portfolio.

The vast majority of alchemists, because they want to create blueprints, prefer art that can cultivate aesthetics.Therefore, there are no fewer alchemists who collect mortal paintings.

Once the wizard's collection is well maintained, it is not a problem to keep it for thousands of years.Moreover, many wizarding organizations and wizarding families will remake copies of some ancient books from time to time in order to avoid the problem of lost copies.

If Angel really saw the artist's collection collected by a certain alchemist, it seems that this possibility is not impossible.

However, the wise ruler still finds it strange.Is it really such a coincidence that Angel happened to have seen this author's collection of paintings, and he just happened to come here?

If this is the first coincidence, wise men can accept it.But Angel's body was always shrouded in a fog.

This made the wise man have to suspect that Angel came prepared.Or, is he actually a descendant of a wizard related to Naraku?

This refers to related, not only wizards who are good friends with Naraku City, but also wizards who are hostile to Naraku City.

Therefore, the wise man is now more and more curious about Angel's identity.

While the wise man was observing Angel, Angel continued: "By the way, the original picture of "Afternoon Garden" is like this."

Angel waved again, and a phantom appeared in front of everyone.

The original picture of the so-called "Afternoon Pastoral Picture" is the last picture that appeared before. The peasant woman in the picture is not a blonde woman, but a freckled girl with a ponytail.

"It's also because the original picture is different from this one, so I found something was wrong, so I tried to solve the puzzle on the picture."

"The final result is what you see."

"It is the life energy in the wood that keeps the painting fresh forever, and this wood is hidden in the space in the painting... To be precise, it is not in the painting, but in a layer of reflective film on the surface of the painting."

When Angel said this, he said meaningfully: "This film is a bit like a mirror."

mirror?

When everyone heard this word, they all frowned, because they thought of a demon god who seemed to not exist: the mirror demon god.

Later, they also found the imprint suspected to be the "Mirror Demon God". Half of the imprint is the profile of a woman with long hair, and the other half is the profile of a man wearing a hat.

And the profile of the "peasant woman" in the painting they saw before seemed to be vaguely similar to the long-haired woman in the imprint.

Could it be that this painting is related to the Mirror Demon God?

Earl Hei thought about this, "out of the corner of his eye" he glanced at the wise ruler.The wise master hinted before that the person who hangs this painting here is worthy of an exchange of questions with Angor.

So, is there any connection between the Demon God of the Mirror and the Ruler of the Wise?
