Chapter 479 Chapter 50.6-A2: Understanding the meaning of the painting

·

You immediately conclude that the other guild has a fierce and vicious competitive attitude towards you, and use this as a hypothetical condition to quickly adjust the future guild policy.

Glancing at the laughter coming from the bathroom on the right, you turned left and walked towards the guild hall.

The permanent lamp shines on Tong En and the parchments with detailed information on the order orders covering the counter. His brows are slightly furrowed. The information is complicated and messy. "Ah, Mr. Chairman, the secretary is going to attend the meeting of the management first. Let me go first."

I will sort out the information and will be back soon." She stood up, pulled your royal seat in the corner of the hall over, and asked you to sit down.

"We haven't found anything that deserves to be treated with special caution by the secretary. Some of these tasks are important and some are chores, just like normal." He said this, but Tong En firmly believed that Hathaway must have her own reasons for organizing.

The information is not neglected at all.

You sat nearby and watched Tong En work seriously and quietly.

Ten minutes later, she stood up and made you a cup of black tea. She placed the cup holder and tea spoon gently and murmured in a low voice: "The war has begun. I don't know if I can drink such high-grade tea in the future. Elizabeth is

She is very seriously debating whether to escape abroad, so please rest assured that I will definitely keep an eye on her during this period."

Speaking of which, this is the first time you have been alone with Tong En like this, watching her work seriously.

Tong En's profile looks very beautiful.

The hall was very quiet. Apart from the sound of flipping through parchment and the scratching of pen tips, her delicate breathing gradually became clearer. She did not turn her head to look at you, but her cheeks slowly turned pink. The two of them were alone in the room for a long time.

Not even a word was said, but the atmosphere was already a bit subtle.

She finally put down the information and stared at you head on.

You should hand her some letters that you found from Lieutenant General Earl Zas and ask her to sort out the information as well.

"...What? These nobles actually..." Tong En couldn't help but whispered in surprise after taking a few glances, "It's unbelievable."

She threw the letter on the table.

There is nothing wrong with these letters at first glance, but anyone who is well versed in the relationship between the high-ranking nobles in the royal city will immediately understand what the words imply.

Count Zas gave up resisting the Saudi Kingdom from the beginning, so he sent his nephew as a deputy general to join the various armies, pretending to be loyal to the kingdom, but actually taking the opportunity to secretly communicate with other forces. There was no problem with this plan, but

However, everyone including Zas underestimated the "Golden Crown"'s trouble-making ability and the new Marquis's eagerness to achieve success. The meeting of the armies ended in a rout thousands of miles away. Unexpectedly, Zas's nephew almost died on the spot.

He was killed in the melee, and the letters he carried with him were also taken away.

These letters are cryptically worded and cannot be used as any evidence in themselves.

Summing up the few words in the letter and the news Tong En heard, Count Zass's plan is as follows - since Count Shindelk rebels and the Western Territory is destined to be lost, Zass simply closes the door and allows the Saudi army to move westward.

Advancing, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not bite Zass. The real goal is of course to capture the royal city. All he needs to do is to establish a firm foothold in the western border as a springboard. Aneurin is enough for this springboard. Maybe Zass is not good at it.

On the contrary, it will be the two-thirds of the kingdom's central and western territories that have suffered the least war losses.

Long-term defense of the city requires external support anyway. Zas contacted several nobles and secretly built illegal teleportation stations. Zas was responsible for releasing the Sand Army all the way. The first to suffer was the general of Ziteng Ghost Ridge. Many nobles had already

This atheist with a bad temper is not pleasing to the eye. Next is the ancient city or Biyun City. The ancient city focuses on trade and lacks fortifications, but Biyun City is built on the mountain. One is easy to attack and the other is difficult to attack and lacks gold. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will choose

There is no suspense about where to attack first. After capturing the Western Territory and then conquering the difficult target of Wisteria Ghost Ridge, Biyun City can defeat the weak Sha Kingdom army in one fell swoop. Biyun City is close to Biyun City, but the war is still burning.

It's not Biyun City, it couldn't be more perfect. Earl Zas will take the opportunity to attack Biyun City from both sides, and at least he will be responsible for annihilating the defeated army of the Sha Kingdom. Everyone will be happy. For this reason, several nobles and Biyun City are willing to secretly help Earl Zas.

Transporting supplies to defend the city. If this secret teleport station is unfortunately discovered by the royal city, it doesn't matter. You can use the excuse that it is for sending reinforcements to surprise the rear of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the future, and maybe you will still be credited.

"So, Count Zas and his group plan to sacrifice all the civilians in the Western Territory, the strategic fortress of Wisteria Ghost Ridge, and the century-old city, just to achieve their own success?" At some point, Hathaway was already standing at the door with a sneer on his face, "That's really not true.

Who is more of a traitor, him or Count Hindelker?"

Tong En shrugged and handed the letter to Hathaway to read: "Don't mention it...Although Earl Aneurin did not betray the country, he ignored the national affairs for personal reasons.

How much better can one's behavior be than that of Shindelke and Zass? One is disloyal, one is unkind, one is unfair, and there is no difference in terms of the result."

The civil war in the Western Territory has been going on for too long, which has exhausted the people's hearts, the economy, and the loyalty of the nobles to the kingdom.

Count Sindelk's rebellion actually did not cause much direct damage, and it was not even as serious as the suffering caused by Count Zass's plundering of his own people. Maybe... maybe both combined were not as bad as Count Aneurin's corpse.

The disasters that desperate policies can cause.

There are many kinds of treason, but traitors are the least guilty.

Hathaway lowered her head and read the letter carefully several times, and praised: "As expected of you, I can only see that there is a secret agreement between them to build the teleportation station secretly."

A surprised expression appeared on Tong En's face - she actually praised me!

Hathaway walked out the door,

Several picture frames with thick packaging were brought from very close to the door, placed in front of Tong En, and he tore open the packaging. They were oil paintings that Keke and the others had worked so hard to find.

Hathaway made a gesture of invitation: "Top secret."

Tong En stood up and returned the greeting: "I will live up to my great trust."

Hathaway originally planned to wait until you were alone to bring in these oil paintings, but since Tong En is good at this and is not an outsider, since you happened to be here, let's study the mystery of the paintings together.

They are all paintings of figures and landscapes commonly seen in the mansions of nobles.

A, the first oil painting depicts a beautiful young woman, as romantic and bright as an angel, showing you a sweet smile. She is in the endless field of dandelions, holding on to the big-brimmed hat that is almost blown away by the wind in the valley.

She is wearing a pure white sleeveless dress, and her hair is swaying in the wind. A little further away, in the lower left corner of the painting, stands a burly farmer with his back to you, holding a hoe with both hands, looking at the valley. His back is very broad.

, like a retired soldier. In the lower right corner of the painting, there is a little girl with beautiful features, showing an innocent smile towards the farmer. There is a small wooden house in the painting, with lush sunflowers planted in the small garden.

B. The second oil painting shows two women lovingly holding a baby together. The first woman is nearly thirty years old, with black hair, a slightly square face, simple clothes, a haggard face but a happy smile. The second woman

She is in her early twenties, with blond hair, a thin face, and a slightly married look. Her clothes are also simple, and she is also haggard but has a happy smile. The baby is sleeping peacefully. The two women are standing in front of a stone wall, with a life-like figure at their feet.

Wooden tables, chairs, and iron pots and pans were piled messily on the table.

C. The third oil painting is a kind bust portrait of the goddess of life, full of holy light. Her arms are around her shoulders, her chin is lowered, and she stands upright like a god. In front of her are five small busts of believers.

, although they also wore hoods with their chins lowered, their facial features and hair color were still clear. All four of them pointed their fingers at the female believer in the middle.

D. Wearing a red square scarf, standing on a pile of shining gold, silver, crowns, swords, and gems, the dog looks very cute. It is probably the pet dog of some nobleman. It looks both heroic and funny in the painting.

Tong En studied the details for a long time, then smashed his fist into his palm: "I see. I can't understand."

…

Hathaway frowned and glared at Tong En fiercely.

"No, no, I really thought I could understand it before, because in our four-girl gang in the ancient city market, McKenna was always responsible for appraising the art. I also learned a lot from it at that time. I thought I learned a little bit." Tong En

Regretful, "Now that things have come to this, we can no longer ask McKenna to come back to study such a confidential oil painting."

Hathaway rolled her eyes.

"But if there is only one painting, I can study it as much as possible. Trust me, there is no problem." Tong En explained repeatedly. What she meant was that her half-baked artistic level, which she learned from McKenna, was probably only enough to understand one of the paintings.

's mystery.

Hathaway thought about it and thought it would be okay. She could study one picture first, and then slowly use her connections to find other trustworthy talents to study the other three pictures when she has time.

She probably never expected in her wildest dreams that the other three paintings would be destroyed so quickly.
