Chapter 69 The old man in front of the portrait
Lu Xi turned around and saw the ambassador wearing a gorgeous dress. However, no matter how the ambassador dressed, it was unlikely that he would become elegant. In comparison, the people around him were much more gorgeous than him.
It was a woman in a water-blue dress with long brown and black hair with gorgeous wavy curls. She had bright eyes as charming as violet, her nose was high and her skin was fair; the robe she draped over her body could not hide her convex and hot figure and slender and graceful legs. She looked at her charmingly, looked at her eyes brightly, and her every move was captivating. More importantly, from the thousands of demeanors, she could find a bodybuilder at the age of twenty, a gorgeous beauty at the age of thirty, and a maturity at the age of forty, and no one could judge her age.
If it were someone else, he would probably call him a peerless demon; but if it was Lu Xi, he just was shocked and muttered a few words in a low voice.
"Mature woman, the best mature woman!"
"What are you doing here? Why did you arrive so late?" Seeing that Lu Xi did not answer, the ambassador repeated it again and added another question.
"Well, I arrived late because I had to go shopping for dresses. After all, I was a poor boy since I was a child, but I was not prepared to attend a banquet of this level. I always had to take some time to prepare temporarily. Well, as for what I do here, as you can see, eat."
Ambassador Boyle's second half of the sentence was choked back into his throat, and his face suddenly turned red. Just as he was about to have an attack, the beauty beside him giggled and laughed.
"What an interesting junior."
"It is my honor to be able to entertain you. I am Luxi Berencaster, what do you call you?"
"Crophrona Pascal, take care of me, junior."
It turned out to be the highest military officer and counselor of the Auckland Embassy. Except Lu Xi, the only magician among the embassy officials, and it is said to be a three-star! Well, are the qualities of female mages in the Learning Alliance so good? First there was the little beauty Sexiliu, and now another senior beauty has come.
While introducing herself, Brigadier General Cophrona stretched out her right hand. The back of her hand was facing upward, revealing her smooth and smooth skin. Obviously, she wanted Lu Xi to give him an elegant kiss, but the little otaku who was confused about the charm held her hand and waved it simply.
"Take care, beautiful big sister!"
A hint of surprise and anger flashed in Cophrona's eyebrows, but in less than a second it changed to a sweet smile.
"Beautiful Big Sister" would have accepted what she said with a pink and white lips and teeth, but if it were a young man like Lu Xi, it seemed like he was constantly reminding her of her age, which immediately made Cophrona feel a little unhappy.
Of course, as an excellent diplomat, while using the most vicious words to mock the other party in her stomach, she also needs to keep a decent smile. This is a compulsory course. Lu Xi's unconfused answer would not make her lose her composure.
After chatting for a few more words, the ambassador and the brigadier general took the opportunity to leave.
What are these two guys doing? Lu Xi watched the two leave suspiciously, then rolled his eyes at the charming back, and focused his attention on his food plate again.
"Mature women are domineering, the royal sister is the king's way, and the loli is the holy way. But Sanwu Mengmo is the way of heaven! Why do I want to abandon the way of heaven and go domineering? Also, those who disturb me for food, no matter what you are, they all go to die!" Lu Xi despised the other party for a few minutes full of resentment, picked up the food plate, and sneaked out of the hall.
In a secluded corner of a garden, he cleared the food in a few seconds, and then drank the expensive wine and drinks in one go. Lu Xi casually placed the plate on the flower table. He knew that there were naturally servants who would come to clean up, so he clapped his hands and was ready to leave. However, after walking in the corridor of the palace for more than ten minutes, he couldn't help but stop.
In front of him was a huge portrait, probably with a real person's height.
On the portrait is a female knight in armor riding a tall white divine horse. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, beautiful facial features and slender figures, but there is a kind of powerful pressure and momentum between her eyebrows and eyes, as if the rising sun in the sky.
The colors and lines of this painting do not look very gorgeous, but the female knight in the painting seems to be a real person. The majesty that is practical almost made Lu Xi bow and bow. However, after he calmed down, Lu Xi always felt that the female knight's eyebrows seemed familiar.
"It's impossible. If I've seen such a top-notch queen, I will definitely not forget it."
In this way, Lu Xi pondered and stayed in front of the portrait for a long time. When he was about to leave and took a step back, he felt that he had knocked down a person's body.
"I'm sorry, I'm so rude." Lu Xi quickly apologized to him. When he saw that he was hit by a man wearing a delicate white dress, his hair and beard were covered with silver wire, and he was at least in his seventies, he couldn't help feeling more guilty: "Do you have any uncomfortable places? Why don't you find a place to sit first?"
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Although I'm a little older, I was also a warrior who was famous in the three armies at the time. I couldn't stand a single collision! Young man, don't look at you as young as you are, compared to brute force, I'm afraid you are no match for me." The silver-haired old man's face was full of smiles, and there was no trace of blame and anger, which quickly made Lu Xi feel a little closer.
The old man has a fat figure, a healthy and rosy face, and his face is full of silver hair and long beards, which has a lot of Santa Claus. However, compared to this, his spirit is not very good. Although he has always maintained a cheerful and kind smile, he always seems a little reluctant.
"Do you like this portrait very much?" The old man looked at the portrait in the corridor, and a look of remembrance flashed through.
"Yes. If we look at ordinary portraits of characters, their lines and techniques are not particularly perfect, which is probably equivalent to the level of a second- and third-rate painter. However, I can see that the person who painted it has almost devoted all his hard work and enthusiasm, which gives this painting the temperament and soul of a treasure passed down from generation to generation. Well, this painter must love the female knight in the painting very much."
"Haha~~This is normal. The female knight in the painting is Esteel, the previous queen!"
"Esteel? His Majesty St. Esteel, known as the reincarnation of the goddess of glory?"
"Haha, Valkyrie, Goddess of Glory, Esteel of the Holy Light, she has so many names."
"Then, the author of this painting is... His Majesty Emperor Guyus?"
"It's not difficult to guess. Who else can pour all the love and enthusiasm into Queen Esteel?"
Lu Xi wanted to ask something, but the old man was obviously not going to stop on this topic. He looked at Lu Xi and his eyes stopped on the hexagram pattern on his dress.
"Are you Nathia's magician?"
"Yes, I am Lu Xi Berenkaster, a newcomer to the Learning Alliance."
"Who is that old thing Berencaster? Orusero Berencaster who is yours?"
The tone of this sentence sounded not very kind, and Lu Xi's heart couldn't help but slowly raise it up. Teacher, this kind-hearted old man, could he be your creditor?
"Don't worry, I'm not that guy's creditor."
Uh, I haven't said anything yet. Do you know how to read minds?
"Don't worry, I'm not a magician, and of course I don't know much about my mind reading. However, I have lived for so many years and have seen countless people. You, a young man, can guess what you are thinking."
Oh, I thought I could not reflect my emotions in the legend. It seems that my practice is not enough.
"I'm the disciple of Teacher Orusero, may I ask..."
"Oh? That guy finally accepted the disciples? I thought that old Buxi was going to go into the coffin with that skill." The old man looked at Lu Xi again, and the latter felt a little embarrassed. "Well, from the current view, I can be considered a handsome talent. Well, when I was young, I still couldn't escape the test language such as niche and sissy. Alas, times have changed, and aesthetics have also changed."
"You can rest assured." Lu Xi replied with a smile, "What the teacher needs is a person who can inherit his knowledge and ideas, rather than apes with developed limbs and simple minds. This truth will not be diverted by the old and old thinking of the old stubborn people."
The old man couldn't help but look stern: "Boy, if it were my youth, just your words would be enough for me to kill you with one sword."
"It is because you are so old that I am not worried that you will kill someone in anger, so I dare to say this. Well, I'm going to say "I was young" and it's not a symbol of age?"
"It's interesting." The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Xi. After a long time, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
