Chapter 105

The tall and thin vagrant painter graque came in. Of course, he should be called Mr. court painter now.

Charles came to METZL castle with the painter.

Before that, the news that he was recognized by the king as a painter of the Royal Court of Legrand spread quickly. Many people said bitterly that "that's a lucky boy". Many painters who originally served the nobles were so jealous that they attacked his paintings wantonly, which was a stain on art.

But to his delight, many people went to kosiya's city hall to enjoy his paintings.

Charles didn't stop them, as if God had compensated him. How much ridicule and criticism he had received, how much praise he would get now - even many people began to learn new painting techniques from him.

Nothing could make him happier.

Compared with the first time I met the king before, Mr. glack was in better shape - at least his clothes were much cleaner.

However, the king was slightly surprised when he saw him.

"What's the matter? Is it true that such a large Legrand can't even afford to be a court painter The king asked Charles in surprise.

Gruck was as tired as if he was about to die suddenly, and his face was as pale as a vampire.

Charles was also stunned: "gram

Grucker bowed repeatedly to express his apology. He hastily explained that he had new inspiration these days, so he had to draw the painting anyway. This time, in the hotel, he is doing it.

"Let's enjoy your work."

The king was always tolerant of his genius, or madmen, and he forgave the painter for his impoliteness.

The first painting was carefully set up by the attendant, with a touch of pride on Grack's face.

This picture is almost two-thirds the length of the whole room.

This is the night of the plague of kossia, which the king ordered him to paint.

Once again, the king confirmed that grak was destined to leave a legacy of his own in the history of art. He's a genius, no doubt.

The theme of the painting "pestilence night" is despairing, depressing and sad. But Grack gave the painting a bold and bright color, which can be called brilliant and enthusiastic.

The theme of the picture is the lightness and agility of the Warwick pirate clipper. The pirates with cloth strapped on their heads step on the deck, sword in one hand and cable in the other. The bright flame from the dragon shaped metal nozzle of the pirate ship's bow spews out. The flame sweeps across the deep sea, reflecting the whole sea like gold.

The golden light that used to be used only on saints was plated on the free and unrestrained pirates this time. They stood in the bow of the ship fearlessly, like a bronze statue carved by time. In front of them, the plague ship looked so dim. Behind them is the towering and heavy wall of kosia. Under the wall are the rose Knights standing like shields.

If the king and his city belongs to the king himself, the praise for the king has not appeared before. But this piece of "the pestilence night of kossia" is completely deviant, and the protagonist of the picture is a complete nobody.

They're just pirates, little people.

They fight the terrible plague ship with their flesh and blood to protect an ancient city. So the painter engraved the moment when they were most in high spirits, and the moment when they were heroes. In front of the fearless heroes, even the plague has become a supporting role. From then on, people will always remember that in that disaster, the strength of human beings made an indestructible wall.

What's more touching is the details.

The painting took three months to complete, and while it was being painted, grucker boarded the pirate ship.

The king's order was "to make everyone remember them.".

His intention was to make people remember that night, but grucker's stubbornness and perseverance were beyond the imagination of the king and Charles. He learned from Charles and Hawkins about all the people who fought that night and wrote it down in his little book. Then, he ate and lived with the pirates for about a month, and learned a little bit about the character and appearance of the dead companions from the pirates.

During that time, Warwick pirates almost danced with grak every day:

"yes, Tom, there is a scar here."

"That guy is a little shorter than me."

"I'm so angry! That guy still owes me three gold coins. Would you like to add a mole to him Forget it. That guy is uglier than me, and it's even uglier. "

……

One thing that makes people laugh and cry:

a month later, gruck, who had just come to collect information, asked to be a member of the Warwick pirates. And, at the time of the democratic vote of the Warwick pirates, it was almost unanimous - the poor vote came from captain Hawkins. Because grak refused to remove the iconic oblique scar from his face.When he heard the cheers of the pirates, Charles thought, funny and helpless, can they always recruit strange members?

After so much effort, this painting of grak has something rare.

That is the strong emotion in the war.

Every pirate is portrayed vividly, either throwing a rope or a long gun They have such a tacit understanding with each other that they will trust each other in the future. When you look at them carefully, you can hear their voices shouting to each other. They are real brothers in the flames of war.

On the day it was painted, the Pirates of walway, a group of rough men, secretly red their eyes as they watched it.

Under the fearlessness and war, precipitation is sadness, but also miss, is all good feelings.

This is what the king wants.

It completely broke away from the worship of divinity and idols, eulogizing the joys and sorrows of ordinary people.

"I'm very glad that the gallery at the Rose Palace has its most magnificent exhibits." The king crossed his fingers and gazed at the painting. He asked glack with a smile, "what reward do you want? My chief court painter

From an ordinary court painter to the chief court painter, gruck bowed to express his gratitude. After hearing the king's inquiry, he leaned back again: "you have given me too much, your majesty. In fact, I'd like to ask you to accept a gift from me All I can do is express my gratitude. "

The attendant carried in the second picture.

When he saw the painting, Charles couldn't help smiling: "Mr. gram, do you have too much contact with our Mr. architect?"

The second picture shows the Archbishop of St. Wes beheading on the guillotine in METZL street.

On the screen, the executioner raised the head of the Archbishop of St. Louis high and showed it to everyone. The fully armed rose cavalry was neat and dignified, and the crowd looked different. The dazzling sunlight fell from the sky to the executioner's bloody steel knife, and the cold light and blood formed a sharp contrast.

The king also couldn't help laughing: "you have drawn a frame of fire for yourself, good sir."

"In fact, this is the second frame of fire."

Mr. glack answered with great ease.

Before his anonymity, he had been sentenced to death for saying that "painting, as an art of expressing emotions and thoughts, should not be limited to religious subjects". Now, he painted this painting which can be called provocative holy court, and won a frame of fire for himself with absolute strength.

If, according to the standards of the madman Academy of Sciences, he actually came from behind and led the rest of the madmen to become the first person to get two frames of fire

I don't know how those guys at the madman academy will react after they know about this.

"I think it might be of some use to you."

Mr. gram looked at the king and said sincerely.

There is nothing wrong with his obsession with painting, but will, the "art capital" where he was, was so close to the holy see that he was familiar with the situation of the Holy See.

The king's action during this period is so big that almost everyone knows that there is a fierce conflict between Legrand and the Holy See. Graf is not a priest, nor a soldier. He has no other ability. He can only help the king in this war in this way.

It may be funny to say that, but grak does feel that he has such an obligation.

As if the ancient Knight was willing to die to appreciate his own king, he was willing to draw another picture for the king.

This is the only way he can repay his majesty.

The king ordered the housekeeper to send the painting to the exhibition gallery of the Royal College, and solemnly accepted grak's gratitude.

"Besides, your majesty." "Can I ask you something?" he said

"Please."

"I have a few friends I think they can help you. They escaped from the channel of the Holy See. Can you... " "They're happy to work for you," he said with a little stutter

Today, the blockade along the southeast coast is extremely tight. Although he had become a member of the Warwick pirates, he never made this request in front of Charles and captain Hawkins. Because he saw with his own eyes what the Warwick pirates paid to maintain the blockade.

They carried out the king's orders meticulously. It was an insult to them to ask them for favoritism.

The only person who can make a decision is the king.

"Who are they?"

The king asked. Grucker's hesitation made him feel that these "good friends" might not be so "ordinary".

"Some..." Grucker gritted his teeth. "Astrologer."
