Magus Tech Chapter 503: Paint with the heart of a king
As Li Cha was thinking about it, he heard the offer from the people around him to the **** the stage, which had risen to 4,300 gold coins.
After all, there are relatively few people who have money but nowhere to spend it. Even wizards and wizard apprentices still have a lot of money to spend. More than 4,000 gold coins are available in other places, and you can already buy a group of well-trained young girls. Here, you only sell one young girl, either you really like it, or you are passionate.
So when the price reached 4,900 gold coins, the sound of quotations completely disappeared.
After several confirmations, the host announced loudly: "Congratulations to auctioneer No. 19! This auction item is now yours!
After finishing speaking, the host looked at the auctioneer with a smile on his face: "By the way, Mr. Auctioneer No. 19, since this auction item is quite special, it can be delivered to yours now without waiting until the end of the auction." Beside you, how do you see...how?"
It stands to reason that ordinary people cannot refuse such a temptation at all, but who knows that auctioneer No. 19 is ungrateful and makes the host put a hot face on his cold ass.
"No need!" Auctioneer No. 19 said, his voice was old and hoarse, he sounded like an old man in his 70s or 80s, of course, there was a high probability that he was pretending.
After a pause, auctioneer No. 19 said to the host: "I like everything to be done according to the rules, so I can deal with it as I want. I don't want to be a special one.
This girl, you send her backstage now. Then dress her up, bring her daily necessities, and leave with me after the auction is over.
After all, I spent 4,500 gold coins, and I don't want to lead her out naked—my things have never been appreciated by others, understand? "
The host's expression froze, but the customer is God. No matter how informal the auction house he was in, he didn't dare to turn his back on him directly. He forced a smile and said, "Understood, we must handle it well."
"However, I also want to remind guests that according to our rules, we will not be responsible for leaving here. In case of any accident along the way..."
"I'm responsible for everything! I know that!" Auctioneer No. 19 said angrily, "It's not the first time I've come here, so don't talk nonsense! There's nothing else, just hurry up Let's go to the next item, I don't have so much time to waste with you."
"Ah, yes." The host was flabbergasted, flinching under the powerful aura of auctioneer No. 19, waved his hand for the girl to go down with a dark face, and then asked someone to bring a new auction item.
"Okay, the next auction item is a colored painting!" The host took a deep breath, calmed down, smiled again, and pointed to the wooden table while talking.
On the wooden table on one side, an elegant square metal frame was placed on it by the staff of the auction house. It looked very simple, and inside the frame was a colorful painting.
The content of the painting is grotesque and terrifying, with all kinds of demons, skeletons, and flames, like an imaginary hell.
The host introduced: "As you can see, this is a painting about hell. The artist is from Lisbon Island, called Schistner, and he died not long ago. So...you can rest assured to collect it, absolutely Will appreciate."
"Of course, even if the artist dies and has the potential to increase in value, everyone must think that this painting is not very useful." The host looked at the people who responded flatly, and said slowly, "But I want to tell everyone Yes, although the painting is ordinary, the dye used in the painting is not ordinary. Have you seen the red color? Do you feel that it has a special luster? Then I will tell you now that half of a king's heart was used Drawn."
"Huh?" Everyone in the audience made a surprised voice, and their curiosity was successfully aroused.
The host saw the change in the atmosphere, seized the opportunity, and quickly said: "The owner of this king's heart is called Dieter Huff Regidev, and his son is Amon Huff Ray Jidev, both of them were once the kings of Pu Egypt on the island of Lisburn off the east coast.
The Kingdom of Puy Egypt was originally a small kingdom, but after Amon Khufu Regidev took over, it expanded rapidly, and its territory expanded several times, and even tried to become a kingdom of wizards. According to speculation, behind Amon, there should be a certain wizarding force supporting him.
But the good times didn't last long. Just last year, some other wizard forces who couldn't see through it made a move. They simply killed King Amon, and it is said that he was directly frozen into an ice sculpture.
Afterwards, the entire Prussian kingdom was in turmoil, the political forces were reshuffled, and the royal family was almost uprooted. The tomb of Amon's father, the former king Dieter Khufu Regidev, was unfortunately ransacked in the process Therefore, the things in the tomb are scattered among the people.
In the Kingdom of Prussia, there is a special custom, that is, when someone dies, the internal organs of the body will be taken out, the blood in the body will be squeezed out, and after carefully smearing with sesame oil, wrap the shroud and wear the clothes Put it into a three-layer coffin of sealed lead coffin, sarcophagus, and wooden coffin, so that the corpse can be preserved for hundreds of years without decomposing.
The taken out internal organs will be soaked in spirits, cinnamon, spices, and medicinal materials will be added, sealed in clay pots, and put together with the coffin.
Over a long period of time, the internal organs sealed in the clay pot will melt and turn into a special clear oil, which floats on the upper layer of the pot liquid. Our painting is painted with clear oil in a clay pot with a heart, and half of the clear oil is used, so it can be said that half of the heart is used. "
The host took a deep breath, looked at the audience and said: "So, this is really a very special painting~IndoMTL.com~ I think the starting price of 1,000 gold coins is not an exaggeration, everyone What do you think?"
No one answered, each auctioneer lost interest after listening to the story with a curiosity-seeking mentality. After all, there is no one who likes to make things with dead people's organs, unless there is a special hobby.
Li Cha in the corner looked at the colorful painting on the stage, and said to himself: "Is it a corpse oil painting?"
Facing this kind of painting, he has heard of it on earth:
After the French Revolution, the tombs of the kings were stolen and the coffins were opened. As many as 13 shrines containing the hearts of kings and queens were lost among the people.
It is said that these thirteen hearts later fell into the hands of two painters—Martin de Rollin and St. Martin.
Among them, Martin DeLorean got eleven hearts. Because of his diligent painting, all of them were used up, and the paintings became famous paintings, which were bought and collected by the French king who didn't know about it and liked art very much.
St. Maarten only got two hearts, and because there was no inspiration, only half of these two hearts were used. Later, he saw that he couldn't use it, so he simply returned the half-remaining "Louis XIV" and the complete "Louis XIII" to the royal family.
The king of the royal family at that time was Louis XVIII. After receiving the heart of his ancestors, Louis XVIII was overjoyed. After rewarding St. Martin, he enshrined the heart of his ancestors in the church. Then he went back to the palace and happily admired the colored paintings—well, he had no idea that the French king was also him.
Li Cha's eyes flickered and he touched his chin. I have heard of corpse oil paintings on earth, but I didn't expect to see similar things here, and it is still related to the Kingdom of Puy Egypt that I have been to.
But even so, he has no interest in this kind of painting, except...
