Vol 2 Chapter 503: Painting with the king's heart

When Richard thought, he heard the price quoted by the people around him for the the stage, which had risen to 4,300 gold coins. Gradually, his voice became scarce.
After all, there are still relatively few people who have money and no place to spend. Even wizards and wizard apprentices have a lot of places where they need to spend money. More than four thousand gold coins can be bought in a group of well-tuned young girls in other places. Only one young girl is sold here, either really like it, or it is bloody.
So after the price reached 4,900 gold coins, the quotation completely disappeared.
After confirming several times, the host announced loudly: "Congratulations to auctioneer No. 19! This auction item is yours!
When the words fell, the host looked at the winner of the auction and smiled: "Yes, Mr. Auctioneer on the 19th, in view of this special auction item, you don’t have to wait until the auction is over, you can now be delivered to your side, you See...how?"
It stands to reason that ordinary people simply can't refuse such temptations, but who knows that the auctioneer on the 19th just didn't appreciate it, leaving the host with a cold face but a hot face.
"No!" the auctioneer on the 19th said, his voice was old and hoarse. It sounded like an old man in his seventies or eighties. Of course, there was a high probability that it was pretended.
After a pause, the auctioneer on the 19th said to the host: "I like everything to be in accordance with the rules, so whatever I do, I don't want to be the special one.
This girl, you now send her backstage. Then dress her and bring her daily necessities, and wait until the auction is over and leave with me.
After all, I spent 4,500 gold coins, but I don’t want to lead her out naked-I don’t like to be appreciated by others, okay? "
The host's expression was stiff, but the customer was God. Even if the auction house where he was located was no longer formal, he did not dare to turn his face directly, and said with a strong smile: "Understand, you must deal with it."
"However, I would also like to remind the guests that, in accordance with our rules, leaving here, we will not be responsible for us. In case something happens along the way..."
"It's all my own! I know this!" Auctioneer No. 19 said angrily, "I'm not the first time to come, I don't need you to talk nonsense! Nothing else, just go to the next item. Well, I don’t waste so much time with you.

"Yeah, yes." The host deflated, flinching under the strong atmosphere of the auctioneer No. 19, waving his face in black to let the girl go, and then let people bring in new auction items.
"Okay, the next auction item is a color painting!" The host took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and smiled again, pointing to the wooden table while talking.
On the wooden table on one side, the staff of the auction house put an elegant square metal frame, which looks very simple, and there is a colorful painting in the frame.
The content of the painting is very grotesque and thrilling, with various demons, skeletons and flames, like an imaginary hell.
The host introduced: "As you can see, this is a painting about hell. The painter is from Lisburn Island, called Husterner, and he just died recently. So... you can rest assured that the collection will definitely appreciate. ."
"Of course, even if the painter dies and has the potential for appreciation, everyone must feel that this painting is not very useful." The host looked at the average reaction and slowly said, "But I want to tell everyone that although The painting is general, but the dye is not ordinary. Do you see this red color, do you feel a special luster? Then I will tell you now that this was painted with a king's half heart. "
"Huh?" Everyone in the audience made a surprised voice and was successfully curious.
The host saw the atmosphere change, seized the opportunity, and quickly said: "The owner of this king’s heart is called Dieter Khufu Regidov, and his son is Amon Khufu Regidov. Both of them were once kings of Egypt on the Lisburn Islands off the east coast.
The Kingdom of Egypt was originally a very small kingdom, but after Amon Khufu Regidov took over, it expanded rapidly, the territory expanded several times, and even tried to become a wizarding country. According to speculation, there should be a wizard power behind Amen.
But the good times didn't last long. In the previous year, some other wizards who could not see the past started. They simply killed King Amon, and it was said that the other party was directly frozen into an ice sculpture.
After that, the entire Egyptian kingdom was in chaos, the political forces shuffled, the royal family was almost uprooted, and the tomb of Amon’s father, former King Dit Khufu Regidev, was unfortunately ransacked in the process, the tomb As a result, the things in it are in the folk.
In the Kingdom of Egypt, there is a special custom that when someone dies, they will take out the internal organs of the body and squeeze the blood out of the body. After carefully smearing with sesame oil, wrap the shroud, wear the clothing and put it in the seal In the three-layer coffin of lead coffin, sarcophagus and wooden coffin, the corpse can be preserved for hundreds of years without decay.
The entrails taken out will be soaked in spirits, added with cinnamon, spices, and herbs, packaged in clay pots, and put together with the coffin.
Over time, the internal organs in the pot will melt and become a special kind of clear oil, floating on the upper layer of the pot. Our painting was made with clear oil in a heart clay pot, and half of the clear oil was used, so it can also be said that half of the heart was used. "
The host took a deep breath and looked at the humane under the stage: "So, this is really a very special painting~EbookFREE.me~ I don’t think the starting price is a thousand gold coins, everyone thinks What about?"
No one answered. After listening to the story, each auctioneer held the eccentric mindset and lost interest. After all, he didn't like to make things from dead organs unless he had a special hobby.
Richard in the corner, looking at the colorful paintings on the stage, said to himself: "Is the corpse oil painting?"
He has heard about this kind of painting on the earth:
After the French Revolution, the tombs of the kings were stolen, the coffins were opened, and as many as thirteen holy bone altars in which the hearts of the king and queen were placed fell into the folk.
It is said that these thirteen hearts later fell into the hands of two painters-Madan Drolin and Saint Martin.
Among them, Madan Drolin got eleven hearts. Because of diligent painting, all of them were used, and they were painted into other famous paintings. They were bought by French kings who did not know it and loved art very much.
Saint Martin only got two hearts, and because there was no inspiration, only half of them were used. Later, he really couldn't use it. He simply returned the "Louis XIV" and the complete "Louis XIII" with only half of them to the royal family.
At that time, the royal king was Louis XVIII. Louis XVIII was overjoyed when he got the heart of his ancestor. After rewarding Saint Martin, he consecrated the heart of his ancestors to the church. Then go back to the palace and enjoy the colorful paintings—well, I didn't know that the French king was him.
Richard's eyes flickered and he touched his chin. I heard about corpse oil paintings on earth. I didn't expect to see anything similar here, and it is still related to the Kingdom of Egypt.
But even so, he has no interest in this kind of painting, except...
