Rhodes turned his head and looked in the direction of Christy's finger. [].

By this time, the two had come to the circular staircase square in the center of the market, which was usually used by everyone to rest, but it was now morning, everyone was busy with work, and no one came here to rest, only some children and old people sat on it and chatted, and some street performers were preparing for a performance.

Christy was referring to a man standing next to the park, dressed in a plunge and wearing a feathered hat, sitting on a chair and writing on a white sketchboard in front of him

"That's an artist."

Rod glanced at it and knew the identity of the other party.

"They paint landscapes and portraits here, and if someone likes it, they buy their paintings, and of course, if these guys see someone they want to paint, they ask for it·········"

Speaking of this, Rod raised his eyebrows, in fact, he had been stopped by these painters more than once when passing by the bazaar, hoping that he could paint his Xiao Xiang painting, and Rod of course was unwilling, but the other party was just an ordinary person, and he was not a mercenary, and he was not good at scooping out a sword to cut people directly, so after connecting several times, he would no longer come to this ghost place········· Now, if it weren't for Christy, Rhodes wouldn't have chosen to appear in this place again.

"What, you're interested?"

But looking at Christy's eyes sparkling with curiosity, Rhodes knew that he couldn't hide today.

"Then let's go over and have a look."

As he spoke, Rod sighed, then took the girl's hand and walked over to the artist.

"Oh, hello two, what a sunny morning."

Seeing the arrival of Rhodes and Christy, the painter, who was fiddling with his painting tools, immediately jumped up and saluted them very exaggerated and enthusiastically, his unusually exaggerated tone sounded like singing——— but it was very out of tune.

"Is there anything you need me to serve? If you want a portrait, I promise to make you two hundred percent enthusiastic to your satisfaction, please rest assured, I, Francisco, am a well-known painter in Deep Rock, and the price is very fair, only five silver coins. Five silver coins and I can paint an incredibly beautiful portrait for you, and if you're not satisfied, you don't have to pay! ”

“…… Mr...... Are these all drawn?

And Christy didn't seem to react to the words of the self-proclaimed Francisco painter, she just looked at the drawing board in front of her with interest, which depicted the mountain scenery of Deep Rock City, and I have to say that this painter did have a hand in what he painted, and Rod at least understood what he was drawing. Some painters painted things he couldn't figure out whether the other party was painting a human or an alien or something that was not a person at all——— Rod did not have high requirements for art identification, he thought he was a layman, as long as he appreciated what he could understand. As for the postmodern avant-garde art that is so messy that it can only be barely praised through lines and colors, leave it to those who know how to toss it themselves.

"Of course, dear young lady."

Looking at the cloak that Cristy was wearing, studded with lace and the timid appearance of her hiding behind Rod, Francesco thought that this girl should be a lady from a noble family, sneaking out to play, so he didn't particularly care, but still introduced it to Cristy with an eager smile. //

"All of these paintings are my work, so please enjoy them if you are interested.

Hearing the other party's answer, Christy hesitated, but in the end she didn't come out from behind Rod, she just held Rod's hand, poked her head out curiously, and just looked at the paintings, looking at the scenery and people on them, silent, as if thinking about something. Rhodes didn't ask, he just stroked Christie's hair and waited for her next decision. ..., but he soon noticed that Christy was looking at a portrait next to her. The painting shows a girl and her mother, the mother holding the child, and the two of them are smiling brightly. I have to say that this Francisco's painting skills are not bad, at least anyone who sees this painting can feel the happiness of the person in the painting. It's just... Whether this is happy for Christy or not, it is not necessarily.

It was at this time that Christy finally spoke.

“…··· Mr······ Could you please draw a picture for me? ”

"Of course this is not a problem, dear young lady."

Seeing that the guest really came to the door, Francisco's enthusiasm immediately raised a step again, he quickly scooped out a white canvas next to him and quickly put it away, and then quickly prepared his hands and feet, and then made a gesture to Christi attentively.

"Please stand here."

"To ......... Do you want me to come over? ”

Hearing the painter's request, Christy's eyes widened in surprise, and she grabbed Rod's clothes uneasily, and asked in a low voice. Hearing her question, Francisco laughed. He thought this girl was so interesting, didn't she know what to do?

"Of course, miss, I must see what you look like, and then I will draw it, and now that you have wrapped yourself so tightly in your cloak, how am I going to draw you? You can't draw you like this. ”

Francisco smiled as he waved his charcoal pen and explained to Christi. The girl was still a little hesitant, she looked at the crowd around her uneasily, not knowing what to do. However, Rhodes had already seen Christy's thoughts, and it could be seen that Christy really wanted this sketch, but she didn't like crowded places in the first place, and now it was so lively, it was conceivable that if Christy took off her cloak and stood in front of the easel, it would definitely attract the attention of many people, which was definitely a torment for Christie.

"Don't worry, Christy."

Rod patted the girl lightly on the shoulder, then comforted softly.

"Do what you want, I'll be there to protect you, don't worry, no one dares to do anything to you."

Hearing Rod's reassurance, Christy nodded, and then she was silent for a moment, and mustered up the courage to walk forward, but before she could take two steps, the girl stopped again, she looked at the portrait again, and then turned around again, and grabbed the corner of Rod's clothes.

“……… Rhodes ........."

"What's the matter? Christy? ”

"Can you come with me?"

Hearing Christie's request, Rhodes felt for a moment that he had jumped too deep in the pit he had dug for himself·········

Emotionally speaking, Rhodes is a hundred unwilling to show his face in front of everyone, Christy is afraid, and he is disgusted. After all, Christy is a girl, and when people see her, they will only sigh "What a beautiful and lovely girl", which is also a positive compliment. But what about yourself?

"What a beautiful and lovely man······"

As soon as he thought of this, Rhodes felt the urge to draw his sword and cut it directly.

If someone else mentions it, even if Lijie makes this request to him, Rod will never throw her face. But Rhodes can't do that in the face of Christy, just as Christy is wary of many people, but he can be happy with him. Even if Rhodes could refuse everyone's requests, there was absolutely no way to refuse her requests. He didn't know what it was for, just as Christy didn't understand why she was so attached to Rod. The same face may be only one reason, but there are some deeper reasons that even they themselves can't understand. In the end, Rhodes could only grit his teeth and agree to Christie's request and stand in front of the painter with her.

I have to say that Rod's worries are indeed very reasonable, after taking off their cloaks, the two of them quickly received a lot of attention, and the old people and children who were resting in the stepped park came to them one after another, looking at the two curiously. Even those who came and went in a hurry to make a living couldn't help but cast surprised peeps at the two. After all, two people who are so beautiful and have exactly the same appearance are really eye-catching.

And Francisco was also very excited to see the two of them, and as a painter, of course, he wanted to be able to preserve beautiful things.

Although Francisco was going to praise the two of them again, Rod's obviously murderous and warning eyes finally made his boiling enthusiasm quickly subside, and he obediently resumed his work.

In the face of everyone's onlookers, Christy was obviously a little uncomfortable, she leaned in front of Rod, grabbed Rod's clothes tightly with both hands, and looked at those people uneasily. And Rhodes stroked the girl's long hair, and swept around with a cold and warning look, making sure that no idiot wanted to trouble them. His statement was indeed useful, and seeing Rod's dissatisfied expression, many people had realized their impolite behavior and left one after another. And those who originally had bad intentions also stopped at this moment, although Rhodes didn't like his face, but its unique characteristics were still very good propaganda——— no one among those ruffians didn't know about Rhodes' glorious deeds of killing people at the door of the mercenary association, and his characteristics were so obvious that there was no need to guess at all.

Of course, they didn't want to be like those stupid mercenaries who were just thrown to the ground and turned into corpses, so after a moment of unwilling wandering, those guys finally didn't have the courage to challenge the truth of the rumors - if Rhodes was really as horrible as the rumors said, then even their verbal provocation would probably lead to death.

After dispersing the crowd, Rhodes and Christy finally relaxed, and Francisco began to show his skills, watching the two of them as he flew across the canvas with one hand, depicting them as they looked.

As a painter of life, Francisco is not slow at all, which is normal, and if it takes him hours to paint a painting, it is doubtful that there is a reason for anyone to stand here as his model. This, combined with the obvious warning and urging in Rod's eyes, forced the artist to speed up to ensure that his clients were satisfied. For Francisco, the only thing that makes him feel fortunate is that both of them have outstanding temperaments, and they don't need to be thought about and embellished like other guests, which saves a lot of time.

So without making the two of them wait too long, Francisco finished the painting in hand.

"Look, two."

After taking the painting from the artist's hand and observing it carefully, Rhodes had to admit that the painter did have two brushes——— he caught a very subtle movement between the two people to make the subject, on the canvas, Rhodes stroked Christie's hair, looked down at the girl next to him, and showed a gentle smile. The girl raised her head, her hands clutching Rod's clothes tightly, her eyes full of attachment. After anyone sees this painting, they can't help but sigh for the harmony and beauty between the big and the small, and even Rod, who is used to seeing photos PS, is greatly admired after seeing this painting.

"Time is limited, and that's all I can do, two guests." ..., Francisco smiled helplessly.

"If you'll allow me, I think I'll take a moment to color and frame it, and that will be ......"

"No, that's nice."

Looking at the black and white portrait in his hand, Rod nodded with great satisfaction, then he handed the painting to Christy, then reached into his arms, scooped out a gold coin and handed it over. Francisco was a little unprepared for the gold coin, he scooped the gold coin in surprise, looked at it in disbelief, and then put it in his mouth and bit it hard, only then did he show an excited smile as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Thank you for your generosity, esteemed guests, you are so generous, frankly, I don't actually plan to charge you, as a painter, I am proud to be able to preserve the beauty forever, it is my honor that you can give me this opportunity, I ·········"

Rod was not interested in hearing what he had to say, but nodded directly, and then pulled up his cloak and was about to leave, and at this moment, suddenly a sharp female voice sounded.

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful girl here."

With this voice, a woman with heavy makeup walked up to Rod and Christie, looked at the girl in front of her with a hint of a smile, and then stretched out her hand.

"Come, little one, let my sister take a good look at you."

Facing the woman's hand, Kristy was visibly frightened, she shrank back, and at that moment, Rod grabbed the other man's wrist.

ps: It's really not suitable for updating at noon, I don't feel anything······ It's always delayed, and it looks like it's better to have two shifts in the morning or two in the evening......
