Chapter 378 The Road to Expedition: Iyanden’s Kitten
The starry sky of the network channel shines the dim light from between the colonnades, and the dim starlight illuminates the quaint furniture that stands in the colonnade and is displayed along the side of the long corridor.
The tabletop reflects gloss, and every line and dent is particularly conspicuous under the silvery sand-like light curtain.
Above the table, there is a portrait hanging on the wall. The golden border on the edge of the frame is flowing with little light paths under the light of the stars. It climbs up along the frame and then rotates to one side.
Light silk, beautiful and dreamy.
The oil painting is hung on the wall, and its surface has already been sprinkled with a light curtain. The light spots on the surface of the oil paint, which has long been hardened and stagnant, seem to illuminate a silver beach on the coast. The gravel sparkles under the starlight, as if
The whole painting seemed to be glowing.
But soon, a shadow enveloped the shining oil painting. The silver reflective gravel disappeared in an instant. The shadow walked across the painting little by little. As the shadow left, the oil painting would appear again among the stars.
It continues to shine, like a never-ending dream.
Vito's shadow constantly shrouded the side of the corridor. The shadow shrouded all the furniture, including the paintings placed against the wall in frames, or the oil paintings hung directly on the wall.
Being covered by the shadow also allowed Vito to see their appearance clearly in the hazy starlight.
Those oil paintings depict many natural scenery, mountains, rivers, forests and fjords. The magnificent natural scenes are vividly and vividly painted on the canvas, as if those places are really there, you just need to reach out and reach them.
It's like you can touch it.
Vito walked in the corridor behind the colonnade. His eyes followed the steps and passed by the gallery on one side. He looked at the exquisite oil paintings and soon discovered that there were some unique features on them. Among these exquisite paintings lined up beside
In the paintings, there are almost scenes of animals fighting each other in the natural scenery.
Brown bears being besieged by wild wolves in the forest, bison charging at coyotes on the prairie, and tigers and lions fighting each other with their mouths open and waving paws, all the scenes are filled with
Such primitive killing and wildness.
This allows you to see at a glance what kind of character the painter is leading the way, the owner of these furniture and paintings, his personality, style, dangers, etc.
Vito raised his head slightly and looked at Stulin who was holding a long crow staff in front of him, guiding him through the long corridor. Stulin, who was wearing a coat with a unique high-collar design, walked at the front. His collar
It almost covers the entire head, standing up high around the body, and the edges of the coat also bulge slightly outward.
From Vito's perspective, he looks like a huge bat walking under the night, and this walking bat uses a long stick to cause a clicking sound on the ground with every step.
The sound will echo throughout the corridor, just like the sound waves of a bat.
Stulin walked through the long starlight corridor. The towering colonnade on the side cut the light of the starry sky into countless shadows, which were projected from the outside and densely covered on the ground, extending towards the end of the corridor. And Stulin
, just walking through it.
The long shadow between the stone pillars flashed across his body, causing his body to constantly switch between light and shadow, just like a slide, constantly switching, like a vague dream.
Vito followed him, and the spaced starlight also shone on his face, causing Vito's face to disappear and then reappear, but it was in this rapidly switching light and shadow that Vito came
In front of the door at the end of the corridor.
It was a black door. The huge door body was inlaid on the surrounding dark walls. Vito looked at the door curiously. The material on the door body seemed to be almost non-reflective, and the surface of the entire door was almost non-reflective.
No lines or carvings can be seen, only a dim stream of light flashes on the door from time to time, outlining its general outline, and also outlining the huge crow on it.
There is a crow on the door. The huge crow's half body is embedded in the door. Only the beak part of the upper body and the huge wings are exposed outside the door. The huge raptor spreads its wings, and the pair of jet-black feathered wings shine in the starlight.
There was a dim light shining underneath, and only its rough outline could be seen.
Vito looked up at the bird's head facing him on the door. The crow's head drooped slightly, overlooking the visitors in front of the door. The dark eyes did not reflect any light, only the huge beak was reflected in the light.
A dim stream of light flowed downwards.
"Welcome to my office, Mr. Constantine, please follow me now." Stulin turned his head, looked at Vito behind him and raised his hand slightly, but his words were quickly replaced by the shadow from the side.
Someone showed up and was interrupted.
Stulin stopped abruptly, and Vito also looked at the shadow that interrupted the words. She slowly walked out from the dark corridor leading to both sides from one side of the door, and her dim figure was also under the starlight.
, was illuminated and outlined bit by bit, and finally, as the artist drew bit by bit on the drawing board, a beautiful figure appeared in the light.
Her silver skirt blended almost perfectly with the starlight. The entire light skirt shimmered with spots of light. The light skirt fluttered gently with the footsteps, making the reflected light spots shine.
Like the Milky Way on earth.
Vito looked at her face. It was a white and young Eldar female face. She was a little unexpectedly young, just like a piece of fresh snow that had just fallen from the sky, pure and flawless. Rose
The red hair hangs down from his head and is combed into a slightly raised wave on the right side of his face.
She was dragging a beautiful and small box in her hand. She held the box in both hands and appeared quietly from the shadows. Then she walked to Stulin, lowered her head and gently handed the box over.
Vito paid attention to the girl. He discovered the collar and shackles on the back of her neck exposed in the starlight. Vito frowned slightly and turned to look at Stulin in front of her. The latter stretched out his hand to open the box and placed the red
I took a look at a unique piece of wood on the soft cushion that exuded distorted space fluctuations.
The wood looked very special, with bits of dark gold glowing on the black body. The dark golden light crawled upwards along the wooden body, and at the top corners where it hung softly on the cushion, there was a strange glow.
light.
"Very good." Stulin said and closed the box. He looked up at Vito, probably because since Vito didn't ask, he wasn't going to explain what it was. In fact, Vito didn't.
Maybe it's better to know.
In fact, Vito did not care about that thing. After closing the lid of the box, his eyes quickly locked on the young Eldar girl. She was holding the box and standing humbly beside Stulin.
There is no sparkle in the beautiful blue eyes, they are dim and lackluster.
Vito stared at her, looking at that beautiful but lackluster face. At the same time, Stulin in front of him raised the long crow staff in his hand and knocked on the door with the crow handle of the cane.
, as the golden crow's beak collided with the crow's beak on the door, the entire door changed.
The spread-winged crow on the door quickly raised its head, as if it suddenly came to life. Its spread wings also quickly folded inward and overlapped on its chest. The whole crow curled up, and as the wings moved
It closed, and the dark door behind it also opened inward with a rumble.
Stulin put down his cane and turned to Vito with a slight nod of invitation. He stepped back and stepped aside to make way for Vito. The latter nodded politely in response, then walked up and walked away from Stulin.
Enter the open door.
The young girl in front of Stulin also quickly stepped back with the box in her hand. She stood by the door and bowed to Vito with great respect.
But as he passed by, Vito turned his head and briefly looked at the young girl beside him. Her blue eyes slightly raised, and after a brief look at each other, Vito lowered his head again, and Vito followed suit.
After walking through the door, he walked into this luxurious office.
Vito stood on a floor that was entirely cut out of expensive wood and then riveted. In other places in this office, the owner's pursuit and persistence of nature are also implemented, from the walls to the ceiling.
Made of solid wood, the wide tree was cut from a single piece with a machete and erected to create this luxurious office.
Vito walked deeper into the office. He looked at the overall rectangular interior space that slightly shrank and extended toward the front. In front of the office was a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Like here, the frame of the window was not
Made of steel, but cut from wooden strips.
This makes the window maintain unity with the entire room, and the large black heart mahogany table and chairs in front of the window are undoubtedly the absolute core of the entire space. Vito stood in front of the table, gently stroking the table with his fingers.
On the polished table top, all the wood thorns and friction parts have been smoothed away, making the table look like a smooth marble.
Vito looked at the furnishings on the table. There was an exquisite pen holder with feather pens and ink placed in it. There was also a small crow statue on one side of the pen holder. The statue was placed on the table, facing the
In the direction of the leather wooden chair, the tabletop part in front of the chair, which is also made of leather, is spread out with some kind of animal leather to form a place where the elbows can rest comfortably.
"How's it going? Do you still like my office?" Stulin walked in. He walked into the office with his cane, and the young Eldar girl behind him also followed in dragging the box. She lowered her head,
He followed Stulin with dull eyes.
Vito pretended to turn around and look at the wall full of stuffed animal heads. There were all kinds of beast heads hanging on the exhibition board, and there was also a long and wide table below, with shelves and display cabinets on it.
There are horns, claws, teeth and other trophies on display.
Vito looked at the wall-to-wall specimen area that had been carefully crafted and hung on the side of the desk for special display. He used his peripheral vision to look at the box in the girl's hand, and of course, the silent beautiful girl.
"She is...your slave?" Vito asked softly, and Stulin looked at the girl behind him with a smile. He reached out and grabbed her face, so that her face could be raised to face Vito, letting the latter
Can see more clearly.
The girl was obviously uncomfortable with being done like that, but she didn't say anything in the end. She just looked at Vito with a sad expression on her face. The latter also looked at her and narrowed his eyes slightly. Stulin also looked at that expressionless face.
The girl with an expression frowned slightly, and he pinched her cheeks with his fingers, forcing the expression to look like a smile.
"Her name is Shatina, my slave girl and maid. Although she is not very polite yet, her appearance meets my requirements. She is also very young and can learn a lot of things slowly, so I started selling her.
The list of slaves remains."
Stulin said, throwing away Shatina's face, throwing her head to the side, her hair falling messily in front of her eyes, her blue eyes under the messy hair looking away blankly, as if
Nothing in this world is worthy of her attention.
Vito looked at the girl, Shatina? This name is quite distinctive. In Vito's impression, only the Ark Eldar of Iyanden would give such a name with oriental charm. In addition, her hair was
The color is rose red, which is very similar to Iyanna's hair color, so Vito is almost certain that she is from the Iyangden Eldar.
The Ark Eldar have always been very popular in the slave market of the Dark Eldar. This group of torturers prefer to use their own people, especially the "elegant" compatriots on the Ark, as slaves, just like in the slave market of the human empire.
Like noble ladies, it gives them a unique sense of superiority.
Stulin looked at Shatina, then raised his head and snorted, then raised his cane and pointed at the box in her hand, "Put it in the treasure room, talk, rude girl."
Shatina didn't speak until her shoulder was hit hard by Stulin with the cane in his hand. She walked out several steps at once, and the off-shoulder part of her long dress was rosy.
Blood-colored, her head was turned away from Stulin, and Vito saw the fierce glare of hatred in her eyes. The girl was not a docile kitten.
After a while, she turned her head, raised her head and looked at Stulin, who was silent for a moment and then lowered his head, "Yes, sir." "It's the master," "It's the master."
