Now where are we going? ”

After leaving the mountains, the two changed their clothes and got into the car they had prepared in advance.

Looking at the clothes on their bodies, Roger could already roughly guess where they were going, "The dress on your body matches the color of your hair." ”

Roger complimented with a smile.

"Louis Cavedon."

Anna pretended not to see the teasing on Roger's face, this was the second time the two of them had gone on a mission, the last time in the world of Little Red Riding Hood, she was not strong, and most of the battles were completed by Roger.

This time, Anna felt that she needed to behave well no matter what.

"He is a famous Polish painter, he comes from a family of painters, and his father and grandfather were even inducted into the European Centennial Art Hall of Fame."

"And although he is young, the artistic talent he shows is even above his elders, integrating different genres of painting, painting skills and aesthetic taste."

"At a young age, the future is limitless!"

Roger listened nonchalantly to Anna's story, and when it was over, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Do you think it's really nice to compliment another man in front of me?" ”

"I'm not done yet."

Anna raised her head, "In addition to his illustrious family background, this Louis is also a famous beautiful man in high society. ”

"For various reasons, he even received the honorary knighthood issued by the Royal Ingieman, which is considered an out-and-out nobleman."

"We're going to have a dinner tonight, which is also a small art exchange, where he will show off a few of his recent paintings and auction them on the spot!"

Anna glanced at Roger, "But this is an internal meeting, and you need an invitation to enter." ”

"Dear Mr. Bedwell, now is the time to show your position of strength."

Anna looked at the time pretendedly.

"Well, there's still an hour until we get there, so it should be in time."

Roger shook his head, "Invitation? ”

"It's been a long time since I didn't need that stuff."

The two talked and laughed, time passed quickly, and the car drove all the way, and finally came to a manor built halfway up the mountain.

With fresh air and beautiful scenery, it's fair to say it's a great place for a relaxing holiday.

The decoration style of the whole building is also quite modern, which makes Roger, who has been dealing with the castle for a while, feel a little fresh.

When Roger arrives at the gate of the manor, he unexpectedly meets another man, Kidd, the male warlock who has come with Amanda to investigate.

Seeing Roger, Kidd's expression was a little cramped, and he couldn't wait to stay away from these two people.

"Let's go, let's go in together."

Roger's eyes flashed with a strange light, and the way was opened by the seal of Yaksifa, and ordinary guards and attendants could not resist it, and the three of them were unimpeded and successfully blended into the manor.

It was afternoon, the formal banquet had not yet begun, and the host was naturally not present, but the whole manor was well kept.

There are also a lot of guests, and although Roger doesn't care about current affairs, Amanda and Kidd around him recognize a few big people who often make appearances on TV.

The estate is divided into several areas, with open lawns, beautiful gardens, and even a small hunting ground nestled in the hills.

At the top of the estate, there is a square glass curtain wall with a helipad at the top, and the entire curtain wall has been specially treated, and its interior is a large swimming pool.

This season, the temperature in Poland has cooled, so it is natural that there is no way to have a so-called pool party, but the glass curtain wall that covers the roof absorbs some of the heat and perfectly solves the light pollution, making the whole pool temperature suitable.

There are many beautiful women in cool clothes swimming and frolicking around the pool.

As a family with a heritage, in the most conspicuous position in the hall on the first floor, there are portraits of the owners of the family for generations.

Each portrait was painted by himself, showing different styles of painting techniques, and Roger had no interest in these natures, but in the process of observing the portraits, he found some strange places.

Looking at Amanda, who was busy looking for clues, Roger wanted to remind the other party, but he thought about it and felt that for the sake of his happiness tonight, it was better not to disturb Miss Warlock, who was on the rise.

Well...... Maybe it's fun to solve puzzles.

In addition to the family statue in the hall on the first floor, there are also paintings of the owner of the manor and his family elders in the corridor next to it.

Well-dressed men and women strolled through it with wine glasses in their hands, whispering to each other from time to time, bursts of admiration coming out of their mouths.

"It's boring."

As an ordinary person, this used to be the kind of life that Roger longed for the most, but now he is used to the thrilling of the transcendent world, and this seemingly flashy and enjoyable life has become more and more distant from him.

"To be honest, this kind of banquet is not as interesting as the water ghost's brain."

Amanda and Kidd go separately to collect clues, while Roger is left to find a corner where no one is around and leisurely drink the wine in his glass.

He turned down invitations to the pool from several young girls, who were young and beautiful, but Roger felt it better to keep a little distance from them in order to prevent them from being burned to death by Amanda tonight.

Not long after, Amanda came over with a pretended grace, a smile on her face, and nodded at Roger.

"There is something wrong with this guy, this manor is where he often lives, but here, I can't even find the place where he usually paints."

"In addition, do you feel that there is always a strange atmosphere lingering here, which seems solemn and elegant, but it makes people feel creepy inexplicably."

"It's like the paintings you once saw, with a strong sense of difference."

Roger nodded.

Because he and Amanda have different strength attributes, they naturally have different angles when observing problems, but this does not affect the progress of the mission.

Seeing that the two were talking in a low voice, Kidd, who was standing not far away, didn't know whether to approach or stay away.

Roger couldn't help but be a little funny, he waved his hand, Kidd was like an amnesty, there was a knight of the inheritance, such a task was absolutely handy, and he didn't have to be by his side all the time, Kidd naturally left with joy.

Roger tried to guide Amanda to discover other clues, and he could almost conclude that there was a big problem with this Louis, but what needed to be determined was his methods and motives.

In the real world, there may be madmen who kill people for no reason.

But in the transcendent world, there are very few people who have really lost their minds, and most of them have careful thinking and planning, and will never do things that are meaningless.

"So could there be someone else standing behind this Louis?" Roger was wary as the sound of a propeller came from the top of the manor.

Not long after, a handsome man in a crisp striped suit with silver-gray hair walked down from the top floor in front of everyone.

He looked to be thirty-four or five years old, with empty pride on his face, his hands in his pockets, and lukewarm responses to the greetings of the guests along the way.

Roger and Anna sat in the corner, drinking wine, talking and laughing quietly, and did not pay too much attention to Louis's arrival.

It was evening, the whole dinner officially began, and after some introductions, everyone held a grand art exhibition in the hall.

Every painting Louis exhibited fetched a very high price, and when the auction was over, he left the hall on the pretext of resting and returned upstairs, accompanied by several beautiful women.

Although there was no host, the atmosphere of the banquet became more enthusiastic, and it didn't take long for Roger to notice that several guests who had just participated in the auction and sold the transaction had left the hall one after another.

"Looks like they also have a private party for a small group."

Roger glanced at Anna.

"Let's take a look?"

Anna nodded, took Roger's hand, and walked in a circle to the second floor.

After turning a corner, not long after entering the corridor, the two were stopped by four men with strong physiques.

This time, without waiting for Roger to make a move, Anna flicked her fingers lightly, and the four bodyguards stood stiffly in place.

Simple mental shock and impact are invincible to ordinary people.

The two continued on their way, but soon reached a dead end.

Roger activates the hunter's vision, and everything around him is in full view, while Anna on the other side also finds the secret door through her own methods.

"To be honest, I prefer to deal with some extraordinary-level design."

Roger shrugged helplessly, but at this moment, he saw a red light flashing in Anna's eyes and stepped forward, and flames flashed on the tips of his fingers.

Then she plunged her flaming palm into the wall!

Laugh at!

A spark erupted somewhere in the wall, the built-in mechanism was destroyed, and when Roger came back to his senses, he found a large hole in the wall not far in front of him.

"That's your solution?!"

"It doesn't matter what method he has, what works is a good way!"

Anna said unconcernedly, then set aside the iron door that had been dug up and slipped into the hole.

The interior of a large estate like this is complex, and it is easy to hide some dark rooms in it if you design it in advance.

It was clearly such a place that the crowd entered.

When the two reached the bottom, they saw Louis standing on a high platform, introducing the new painting to the people who had traded before.

Unlike the works seen in the hall, Louis's paintings all reveal an eerie atmosphere, which is exactly the same as those in Amanda's hands.

On the walls of the room, large and small screens are displayed, which are the actions of the other guests in the manor.

Roger took a closer look and soon discovered the source of the image on the screen.

As an art collector, in addition to the works of his own family elders, the entire estate also houses the works of many other painters.

The bezels of these paintings are invariably decorated with a hidden camera, which corresponds to screens of various sizes in the room.

Through these screens, guests can enjoy the expressions and gestures of outsiders in front of the paintings.

The halls are slightly better, and in some hidden corners or separate rooms, people can often see something unsightly.

"It turns out that these two guys have been having adulterous ......"

"I knew they were hooked up."

"And the two of them, they actually pretend to be hostile on weekdays...... Hmph, what a bunch of liars. ”

The screen is decorated with the appearance of a picture frame, which makes one can't help but create the illusion that the person in the frame is alive.

"I always believe that every painting has a soul, and the brush does not outline a simple scene and image, but a living person."

Louis is on it.

"And that's always what I've been after."

He pointed to a painting beside him.

On a highway, a teenager is running into the distance with open hands to meet the rising sun.

The sun passed over the boy's head, and the sunlight spread over the entire frame, and this uplifting power soon infected the others in the scene.

To be sure, even Roger, who has no appreciation for art, can find the beauty in botanical paintings.

But at this moment, Louis's voice suddenly became low.

"Tomorrow or the accident, who knows which will come first?"

"This running teenager may be crushed into meat sauce by a speeding car in the next second."

There was an inexplicable rhythm in his voice, and the expressions of everyone in the audience slowly became sluggish, the divine light in his eyes was withdrawn little by little, and all his attention was focused on the painting in front of him.

There was even a hint of horror on the faces of some people, as if he heard the sudden braking of a car, and blood splattered and soaked the entire road.

"Strange, without any spells and spiritual fluctuations, and without detecting ......"

"Even if it's a cursed item, it won't be undetectable by any breath."

Amanda frowned, but at this moment, she suddenly felt her body stiffen, and a breath from behind her blew on her neck, "Distinguished guest, since you have come to the art exhibition, why don't you come down and experience it yourself?" ”

Amanda turned around quickly, the flames burning in her palm and slapped it without hesitation!

Rumble!

The walls were blackened by flames, but the voice disappeared, and in a panicked Amanda heard Roger's confusion beside her, "What are you doing?" ”

"Someone talking behind me, it's that Louis."

Amanda turned her head.

"I didn't hear anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, Roger suddenly noticed that Louis and the onlookers who had been displaying the paintings below had all disappeared.

Then the planks under their feet melted like noodles, and the figures of the two fell down uncontrollably.

Roger didn't panic, he grabbed Amanda with one hand, and with the other he started Alder, the air exploded, and the two of them took off into the air with thrust.

When they turned around, the two of them realized that the whole room was as muddy and twisted as melted chocolate, and the decoration of the home was mixed together in an incredible degree.

It's like a loose oil painting!
