The rhythm of communication with the guide was held in Rode's hands from the beginning.

Rhodes was well prepared - in order to fool the Demacians, he even spent the night revising Piltover on a large number of art texts and art history, and using arcane wisdom to memorize them.

Although this kind of memory is hard to swallow, Rod only memorizes the general concepts, which is still a long way from a true art theorist, but it is enough to frighten the layman.

After all, for Rod, the artistic vocabulary of awkward words comes with his mouth open, which is much more compelling than the behavior of not mixing some foreign languages when speaking.

Thereupon...... The poor gentleman guide was fooled and lame.

In Rhodes's theory of art, Demacia's "simple and accepted art" is placed on the front, which makes the guide naturally have a good impression of Rhodes.

The Demacians were old-fashioned and serious, but they also had a very strong sense of national pride – Rhodes' praise for Demacia's art made the guide feel honored.

Although he didn't even know what art was, Rhodes praised Demacia's art, and he was proud.

As a result, the attitude of the guide officer towards this "artist who praised Demacia" was much closer.

It's probably a state of "I don't understand what you're talking about, but I think you're right."

After gaining the guide's initial trust, Rhodes didn't choose to get any closer—over the next few days, he often talked to the guide about art, and every time he talked about it in obscurity.

From the formation and development of Hexism to the birth and popularity of realism, Rhodes threw out the words he memorized by rote, and the guide was stunned.

This...... What and what?!

Rod's lingua franca was so standard that he could understand every word he spoke, but when it was connected, he had no idea what Rhodes was talking about.

The complex nouns and obscure narration made the guide's mind full of mush, and even if he wanted to know "where the hell are we Demacia", he couldn't understand it at all—after all, the narrator himself was rote memorization, and Rhodes didn't understand it.

What's even more embarrassing is that in the process of narrating, Rhodes also praised Demacia's classical art from time to time, calling it "the most brilliant jewel in the crown of art" and "the real art of art".

In this way, after five days of art exchange, the guide had a headache when he heard "art".

Under Rod's repeated emphasis, the word art is like a spell that lingers in the mind of the guide, and even causes serious physiological reactions.

Rod estimated that if he had been grinding with him for another half a month, the poor guide would probably go crazy.

So, Rhodes, who seized the opportunity, finally asked the question he really cared about.

"Do you know of any particularly famous artists in Demacia, I want to visit them – I think it's important to talk to real artists."

"Artists?"

Hearing art again, the guide was a little dazed, but he immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to get rid of Rhodes' chatter!

Because of his responsibilities, the guide could not leave Rhodes - so every time Rhodes came to talk to him about art, he could only listen quietly, and he even felt a little guilty in the midst of his pain!

But...... What if Rhodes were a different person talking about art?

You don't have to have a headache, Rhodes can also gain something, it's just a double win!

Although theoretically, the guide needs to pay attention to all of Rhodes' itineraries and pay attention to all the people who come into contact with Rhodes, but Rhodes has not prepared any trade goods, and he is only an artist himself, if he goes to talk to the artists of Demacia, does it mean ...... Can you relax yourself?

Thinking of this, the guide searched his stomach and told Rhodes everything he could think of that was related to art—it didn't matter what kind of painting, music, sculpture, architecture, dance, or theater you had, anyway, as long as it had anything to do with the moment, the guide told it all.

This was exactly what Rhodes wanted - in the midst of the guide's narration, he heard Duran's name.

So, quite naturally, Rhodes chose a few targets that he would visit, among which was the Durang family.

If it was Rod who proposed the visit to the Durang family, then he is likely to be suspected.

But this is the guide's own words, and the situation is different - Rhodes is even sure to break the guide in the middle of the conversation!

Seeing that Rhodes finally stopped talking about advanced art theories with him, the guide finally began to fulfill his responsibilities - he planned Rhodes' course of action in detail, and when the ship docked at White Cliff City, Rhodes already had a fairly detailed plan for his visit.

As the passenger ship dropped anchor and set up a gangway at the pier of White Cliff City, Rhodes' "art exchange tour" finally began.

First stop...... Grand Royal Concert Hall de Macia.
