Coiling Dragon Chapter 6: Invitation
The Proucs Hall, the sound of music that rang through the entire hall, like a stream flowing through the heart of the river, visitors in the hall quietly watched each stone sculpture.
The hall is mainly divided into three exhibition halls, ordinary exhibition hall, master exhibition hall, and master exhibition hall.
Among them, the ordinary exhibition hall has the largest area, and the stone carving works on display are also the most. There are a series of three works on the northeast corner of the ordinary exhibition hall. These three works have a very special temperament. Will feel that special temperament.
However, there are more than 10,000 stone carvings in ordinary exhibition halls. These three works are like a needle in the sea, which is difficult to be noticed.
"Most of these works have shapes, but they have no substance."
already is the 160-year-old Earl of Juneau who is walking slowly in the hall of the Proxus Hall, glanced at the stone carvings. Earl Juno has no other hobbies, just like stone carving. He spends one morning every day in the Proucs Hall.
However, in the ordinary exhibition hall, there are too few works that can make Earl Juno's eyes bright.
"Master, what stone sculpture do you value?" A beautiful waitress next to me came over, because Earl Juno came every day, and some of the staff at the Proximity Hall were very familiar with Earl Juno. .
Earl Juno shook his head and smiled, "Not yet found."
"Master, the works in this ordinary exhibition hall are far inferior to those in the master exhibition hall and master exhibition hall. Why do you spend most of your time in this ordinary exhibition hall every day?" the waitress asked curiously.
Earl Juno pretended to have a mysterious smile and said, "You do n’t understand. There are so many works in this ordinary exhibition hall. Maybe there are good works. This feeling of finding gold from the mud, That is very wonderful. "
The "Oh?" waitress looked at Earl Juno with some doubt.
Earl Juno no longer said more, and continued to appreciate one piece of stone sculpture, but when he walked in front of the three works of lei, Earl Juneau could not help but brighten his eyes, with his century-long research on stone sculpture, At a glance, you can see the special features of these three works.
"Cold, natural, arrogant ..."
Count Juno said involuntarily.
That's a temperament. A stone sculpture can be called a masterpiece. What you want is a special temperament. Earl Juno immediately felt the cold, arrogant temperament of these three works, and this special temperament immediately moved Earl Juno.
"Come here, give me a price. For these three works, I bid 100 gold each." Earl Juno said directly to the waitress next to him.
The waitress immediately took the record from her arms with a smile, first recorded the number of the three stone carvings and wrote the price, then took out three stickers and put them next to the three stone carvings. '100 gold coins' are written on all three stickers.
Earl Juno admired these three stone carvings more and more carefully while the waitress recorded.
"Well, that's not right!" Juno's yellow eyes suddenly lit up, staring at one of the 'rapid raptor' stone carvings, '"The scales of the raptor's back carved the contour lines of his legs, How can it be so coherent? In principle, the scale armor should be carved with a round knife, and the contour of the legs should be carved with a flat knife. Even if you are careful, you can't be 100% smooth and natural! "
Juno has studied stone sculpture for a century.
At first he was not a rich nobleman, but with his unique vision, collecting stone carvings at low prices and selling some at high prices, Earl Juno became a rich man in Finlay City.
"Is it done with one tool? Impossible, the curve of the scales and the degree of depression, how can other tools achieve such a perfect degree except the round knife?" Zhu Nuo frowned deeply. He has never seen this weird scene.
"Master?" The waitress next to him saw the Count Juno so and whispered.
Earl Juno's eyes brightened, and he secretly said, "I didn't expect that I could encounter such a special piece of work in this ordinary exhibition hall. I can't make people notice him. I will price 100 gold coins, and I will let some people observe this one carefully Works, may lead to a significant increase in the price of this work. "
Earl Juno made a decision all at once.
On the last day or two of the exhibition of this work, it's not too late to price again.
"You help me withdraw my bid," Earl Juno said directly to the waitress next to him.
"Cancel?" The waitress snapped and was not allowed to revoke after bidding in accordance with the rules. However, Earl Juno was a patron of the Prix Club. The waitress gave the three stickers very simply. Take it out.
"Dare to ask Lord, why are you withdrawing again?" the waitress asked.
Earl Juno smiled mysteriously: "Don't ask me that, right, let me ask, what is the end date of the three stone sculpture exhibitions?"
The waitress carefully read the record book in hand, and then smiled and said, "The last day of the exhibition of these three stone carvings is June 30. These three works were only moved here for exhibition yesterday afternoon. Yes. "
Earl Juno nodded slightly.
"Well, I'll look around again, you're busy." Count Juno said with a smile.
Earl Juno's heart was secretly surprised. In his opinion, the true price of each of these three stone carvings should be about three thousand gold coins. Because the works of ordinary masters are about a thousand gold coins. Each of these three stone carvings has a unique carving technique. This special sculpting technique alone can double the price of works.
...
Earl Juno came to the Proxus Hall every day, and he really did not expect it, because there were too many stone carvings in the general exhibition hall. These three good works were really not noticed. Even if someone saw it, But those people can only feel that these three works are good, but they can't see the value.
On June 10th.
Earl Juneau once again came to the Proxus Hall, and casually observed it in the ordinary exhibition hall of the hall, but when he walked to the position of the three stone sculptures of lei, his face suddenly changed, because Three stone carvings have price stickers next to them.
Three stone carvings, each one costs ‘300 gold coins’.
When seeing this price, Earl Juno scolded: "Idiot, even if you see that the stone carving is excellent, don't make it too high for the first time. Isn't this purely to attract the attention of others?" Earl Juno was angry, But he couldn't help it, he was not eligible to revoke his offer.
Unsurprisingly, Earl Juno expected.
On June 12th, when Earl Juno came here again, the price of the sticker already changed.
"500 gold coins?" Earl Juno narrowed his eyes, "It seems that many people know the goods!"
