The carriage gradually stopped, and Moss pulled the curtain and whispered, "Mr. Merlin, here we are."
Merlin nodded, he jumped out of the carriage, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, a gust of cold wind blew on his face, and it hurt like a knife.
Merlin hurriedly covered his face with his hands. At this time, he realized how painful it was for Moss to sit outside all the time.
"Moss, I won't come out for a while when I go in, you can just sit in the carriage during this time."
Moss showed gratitude on his face, nodded slightly, and then got into the carriage and was blown by the cold wind outside, which was a kind of torture.
Seeing Moss getting into the carriage, Merlin turned around and walked in.
In front of the counter was the charming Xiaolin. Although Anson and Gut were not accompanied by this time, Xiaolin obviously remembered Merlin. When she saw Merlin coming, a smile appeared on her face, and she opened it respectfully. dark road.
Merlin slipped into the aisle with ease. In the aisle, there was no cold wind blowing back, but it seemed a lot warmer.
Soon, Merlin came to the underground hall, perhaps because it was morning, or perhaps because the weather was too cold, so there were not many people in the hall at this time, and it was still very empty.
Nathan didn't seem to be here either, and Merlin wandered around by himself.
There is no sunlight in the hall, and they are all lit with candles. However, this candle is made of oil from a strange sea beast in the sea. Although it is more expensive, it will not leave unpleasant fireworks after burning. Instead, it exudes a hint of natural peculiar fragrance.
Antiques are placed on stone platforms, surrounded by more expensive transparent crystals, for people to watch. However, Merlin didn't know anything about antiques. After walking around, he didn't find any antiques that could make him hallucinate like the reliefs, but this also indirectly proved that the reliefs were extraordinary.
Merlin quickly lost interest in these antiques, and turned to look at the surrounding whitewashed walls.
On these walls hung portraits of different styles. Compared with those antiques, Merlin was much more interested in these paintings.
Soon, Merlin noticed a huge oil painting hanging in the middle. The size of this oil painting was at least double the size of the other oil paintings on the wall.
However, what really interested Merlin was not its huge size, but a beautiful lady painted on this oil painting. The lady had a slightly fat face, but her complexion was very fair, and her eyes were bright. Especially the smile on his face was considered by Merlin to be an expressive work.
Merlin stared at the oil painting tightly. Suddenly, the candles hanging on the wall flickered slightly. Merlin narrowed his eyes. At that moment, he seemed to see the expression of the lady on the oil painting. , seems to be changing, and the originally warm smile has become a little weird.
Merlin rubbed his eyes and frowned. When he looked at the oil painting on the wall again, everything seemed to be back to normal.
"Is it a hallucination just now?"
Merlin was shocked. When he thought of hallucinations, he thought of reliefs. Could this painting, like reliefs, cause him hallucinations?
Thinking of this, Merlin regained his energy and stared at the oil painting.
I don't know how long it took, but in the flickering firelight, this time Merlin could clearly see that the lady's expression on the oil painting was gradually changing, and her eyes seemed to be staring at Merlin, as if silently mocking.
Merlin was shocked, and he didn't seem to notice that there was another person beside him.
"Do you think it's strange? The people in the painting seem to be alive?"
A cold voice sounded in Merlin's ears, Merlin withdrew his gaze and looked at the person next to him, and this person was someone Merlin knew.
"Miss Kelly? Can you see the strangeness of this painting too?"
Merlin looked at Kelly, the person that the little fat Gut never forgot. She was indeed very beautiful. Today, she was wearing a white fur coat and tight cotton pants, which set off her slender legs. What does she look like a woman? I don't forget to dress up at any time. On such a cold day, I also wear tight cotton pants to set off my slender legs.
Although Kelly was very beautiful, her remarks just now always made Merlin feel strange.
Kelly looked at Merlin suspiciously, and then said: "This painting is the treasure of Mr. Nathan's town hall, the most famous memory painting during the Morta Empire, as long as people who like antiques will not I don't know about memory painting."
"Memories oil painting?"
Merlin had never heard of it at all, but from Kelly's tone, Merlin could faintly hear some information, as if the painting was very famous.
"You don't know about memory painting?"
On the contrary, Kelly asked with some doubts.
Merlin shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've seen this painting, Miss Kelly, can you explain it to me in detail?"
A smile appeared on Kelly's face, and she looked at the huge oil painting on the wall and said: "The memory painting is actually a painting method, because the characters in the painting can be presented under different light and different angles. It is named after the variety of appearances. You can try to look left and right, in different light, you can see how the painting changes?"
According to Kelly's statement, Merlin would keep looking at the paintings on the wall from left to right. Sure enough, Merlin looked from the left and from the right. The characters in the oil paintings on the wall seemed to be different, and the expressions also changed with the characters. Changes and changes, lifelike, it is breathtaking.
Even in his previous life, Merlin had never seen such a strange painting method.
"The memory school painting method is the peak of painting during the Morta Empire! It is a multi-angle and multi-layer painting method created through superb painting skills and special pigments, which can make people in multiple angles. , I saw different characters. But unfortunately, this method of painting has been lost. In this painting, there are only three different characters, and it is rumored that the royal family has one in the collection, which can be seen from various angles. There are nine different characters, that's really amazing!"
Kelly sighed with emotion in her tone. The Morta Empire period 3,600 years ago was a mysterious, brilliant, and endlessly longing era.
Merlin quietly stared at the huge oil painting on the wall, but he was a little disappointed in his heart. It turned out that the expressions of the characters in this painting changed and looked lifelike. It was not that he had hallucinations, but just because the painting used superb techniques. His painting skills were nothing more than the relief he was looking for, obviously two completely different things.
