Chapter 503: Painting with the King's Heart

Richard thought about it, and heard the quotation of the people around him to the girl on the stage, which had risen to four thousand three hundred gold coins, and gradually, the voice became scarce.

After all, there are still relatively few people who have money and nowhere to spend, even wizards and wizard apprentices have a lot of places to use money. More than 4,000 gold coins are in the rest of the place, and you can already buy a group of well-trained young girls, and only one young girl is sold here, either you really like it, or you are hot-blooded.

So when the price reached 4,900 gold coins, the sound of quotations disappeared completely.

After confirming it a few times, the host loudly announced: "Congratulations to auctioneer No. 19!

After the words fell, the host looked at the auction winner and smiled: "By the way, Mr. Auctioneer No. 19, in view of the special nature of this auction item, you don't have to wait for the auction to end, it can be delivered to you now, you see...... How?"

It stands to reason that ordinary people can't refuse such a temptation at all, but who knows that the No. 19 auctioneer just didn't appreciate it, so the host put a hot face on his cold ass.

"No!" said the nineteenth auctioneer, his voice old and hoarse, sounding like an old man in his seventies and eighties, and of course there was a high probability that he was pretending.

After a pause, the No. 19 auctioneer said to the host: "I like that everything is according to the rules, so I can deal with it as it should be, I don't want to be the special one."

This girl, you send her backstage now. Then dress her, bring her own household items, and wait until the auction is over, and leave with me.

After all, I spent four thousand five hundred gold coins, and I didn't want to lead her out naked - my stuff has never been appreciated by others, you know?"

The host's expression froze, but the customer is God, even if the auction house where he works is informal, he doesn't dare to turn his face directly, and said with a forced smile: "I understand, I must handle it." ”

"However, I would also like to remind our guests that according to our rules, it is not our responsibility to leave here. What happens along the way......"

"I'm all in charge! I know!" Auctioneer No. 19 said angrily, "It's not the first time I've been here, don't talk nonsense! ”

"Well, yes, yes. The host was stunned, flinched under the powerful aura of the nineteenth auctioneer, waved the girl with a dark face and let the girl go down, and then asked people to bring new auction items.

"Okay, the next auction item is a painting!" the host took a deep breath, calmed down, smiled again, and pointed to the wooden table as he spoke.

I saw that on the wooden table on one side, the staff of the auction house put an elegant square metal frame, which looked very simple, and there was a colorful painting attached to the frame.

The content of the painting is very grotesque and terrifying, with all kinds of demons, skeletons, and flames, like an imaginary hell.

"As you can see, this is a painting about hell, the painter is from the island of Lisburn, called Shüstner, who died not long ago. So...... You can rest assured that the value will definitely appreciate. ”

"Of course, even if the painter dies and has the potential to appreciate, everyone must feel that the painting is not very useful. The host looked at the people who were not reacting and said slowly, "But what I want to tell you is that although the painting is ordinary, the dye of the painting is not ordinary. ”

"Huh?" the audience let out a surprised voice, successfully arousing their curiosity.

Seeing the change in the atmosphere, the host seized the opportunity to quickly recount: "The owner of this king's heart is called Dieter Khuv Regidev, and his son is Amon Khuv Rejidev, both of whom were once kings of Puegypt on the island of Lisbon off the east coast.

The Kingdom of Prune Egypt was originally a small kingdom, but after Amon Khuv Regidev took over, it expanded rapidly, expanding its territory several times, and even tried to become a wizard state. According to speculation, behind Amun, there should be some wizard force supporting him.

But the good times didn't last long, and in the previous year, the rest of the wizard forces who couldn't see it took action, and simply killed King Amon, and it is said that the other party was directly frozen into ice sculptures.

After the chaos of the entire kingdom of Prussia, the political power was reshuffled, the royal family was almost uprooted, and the tomb of Amun's father, the former king Dieter Khuv Regidev, was tragically looted in the process, and the contents of the tomb were lost to the people.

In the Kingdom of Pu Egypt, there is a special custom, that is, when someone dies, he will take out the internal organs in the body, squeeze out the blood in the body, carefully smear it with sesame oil, wrap it in a shroud, put on clothes and put it in a sealed lead coffin, sarcophagus, and wooden coffin, so that the body can be preserved for hundreds of years without decaying.

The internal organs are soaked in spirits, cinnamon, spices, and herbs are added, and they are sealed in clay pots and placed together with the coffin.

Over time, the entrails sealed in the pot will melt and turn into a special type of clear oil that floats on top of the pot liquid. Our painting was painted with clear oil in a clay pot with a heart, and half of the clear oil was used, so it can be said that half of the heart was used. ”

The host took a deep breath and looked at the people in the audience: "So, this is really a very special painting, I don't think the starting price of 1,000 gold coins is too much, what do you think?"

No one answered, and after listening to the story with a curious mentality, each auctioneer lost interest, after all, there was nothing like to make from dead people's organs, unless there was a special fetish.

Richard, in the corner, looked at the painted paintings on the stage, and said to himself: "Corpse oil paintings?"

He had heard of this kind of painting on earth:

After the French Revolution, the king's tomb was dug up, the coffin was opened, and as many as 13 reliquaries containing the hearts of the king and queen were left to the people.

It is said that these thirteen hearts later fell into the hands of two painters, Madin de Lorin and Saint-Martin.

Among them, Madin de Lorin got eleven hearts, and because of his diligent painting, they all used up, and painted them into famous paintings such as "In the Kitchen", which were bought and collected by the king of France, who did not know about it and liked art very much.

St. Martin only got two hearts, and because there was no inspiration, only half of them were used. Later, he saw that he couldn't use it, so he simply returned the "Louis XIV" and the complete "Louis XIII" to the royal family.

The royal king at that time was Louis XVIII, who was overjoyed to receive the heart of his ancestors, and after rewarding Saint Martin, he enshrined the heart of his ancestors in the church. Then I went back to the palace and happily admired the painting "In the Kitchen" - well, I didn't know that the king of France was also him.

Richard's eyes flashed, and he touched his chin. I have heard of corpse paintings on the earth, but I didn't expect to see something similar here, and it is still related to the kingdom of Prussia that I once visited.

But even then, he had little interest in this kind of painting, except for ......
