Chapter 53, Chapter 53(1/2)
“…”
Wait, this wasn't it drawn by the Kate beast himself, right?
Detriere suppressed the discomfort and carefully looked at the simple stroke again, becoming more and more certain of his guesses - he would not believe that any creature with five sound fingers could create such a "masterpiece" with rough and twisted lines.
It’s not Detri’s exaggeration, he can pick out six or seven problems by just a glance. If you look closely, you’ll have more.
Needless to say, the two eyes are different. The body is like a winter melon, with a long oval rolling strip, and its tail is even more outrageous. How can it be longer than the body and spin the tail end - why didn't he know that Kate's tail has this function?
But if this was drawn by Kate with his claws, everything would be explained.
What Detri has been busy with recently is also related to Kate Beast.
Without investigation, I wouldn't know that after the war, so many Kate beasts "dead naturally" for various reasons. The Kate beasts who successfully returned to their hometown were less than one-fifth of the war.
It is not necessary to guess that those "naturally dead" Kate beasts must have been trampled into the hands of powerful and wealthy merchants through the black market, and it will take some effort to investigate this industrial chain.
The Kate beasts who returned to their hometown are not in good condition at present. The jungle where they lived was polluted and could only be forced to migrate, but their new residence was not so easy to find.
To breed offspring, Kate beasts must use a kind of sand called Galaxy Sand. After the Galaxy Sand is polluted, their family has not been born for a long time.
Detri was also working on finding new places for them to live, but there was no gratifying progress. But Kate Beast knew all the work he did for it.
Perhaps this painting was painted to express gratitude.
only……
Detri frowned and contacted Leiden.
It’s not that he is unwilling to accept this “thank you gift”. If the butler keeps it, he has no objection. Will he have to put it in front of him with a bad taste to make him feel uncomfortable?
"Hey? Master, what are your instructions?" The butler's voice was always so slow, with a gentle and respectful attitude.
"The painting on the wall..."
Before Detri said anything, the housekeeper said, "Did you see it? Today someone suggested to me that your study is too monotonous and should be decorated with some interesting items. I think what she said makes sense, so I adopted this proposal."
Detri said in disbelief: "…do you think that painting is very interesting?"
He doubted whether there was something wrong with Leiden's head. He couldn't see any interest anyway, he just felt awkward.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "Isn't it? Although the painting is simple, it is simple and cute and childlike. More importantly, it is made by important family members and has extraordinary natural significance."
Detrick frowned: "Your eyes..." There must be something wrong.
Wait, what did he just say? An important family member?
This is definitely not Kate Beast, and Detrier is not a fool. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew who the butler was talking about.
"..." It seemed too deliberate. Detri paused for a while before saying, "Your vision is still...good. But remember to inform me in advance before doing this next time."
What if he doesn't understand why and throws away the painting?
"Okay, master." The housekeeper replied with a smile.
"And." Detri's voice came from the communicator, with a hint of indefinite awkwardness, "What is an important family member? I don't plan to start a family with him...."
The last four words are so small that they are almost unauthorized.
Oops--
"That's right, master." The housekeeper smiled, but his tone was very serious. "I personally think that since you plan to take him home, no matter what his identity is, he is considered a part of the family. This title does not mean anything special, it is because you misunderstood."
Detri: "…"
The housekeeper had not received a response for a long time. When he saw that the communicator was actually dead.
"Oh, the young man is so impatient." Leiden looked at the communicator and smiled meaningfully.
Detri threw the communicator casually, put his hands on the table, and his expression was stunned for a while. He didn't know, but he thought he was thinking about some national affairs.
After a while, he finally made a move - he stood up, walked to the simple drawing again, and looked at it carefully.
- It's still very abrupt.
He thought for a while, reached out and took down all the oil paintings hanging around him, and placed them aside casually, leaving only the simple drawing hanging alone in the center of the wall.
―It looks much better now.
Holding a certain mentality that he could not explain clearly, Detri found that this painting was not as bad as he thought.
Even the eyes of different sizes, the body like a winter melon, and the curled tail become very pleasing to the eye.
"Simple and cute, full of childlike fun..." After admiring for a while, Detri murmured, "Leedon's evaluation is quite pertinent."
But just such a painting is hung on it, making the walls look bare and not suitable.
Detrick thought for a while and ordered the maid who took care of Chongye: prepare more paper and brushes for the Lanxing people, and all the drawings were framed and sent to his study.
...
I don’t know if it was his illusion, but Chongye discovered that two things have appeared around him very frequently recently.
They are also paper, various materials, and white paper of different sizes; they are also pens, brushes of various colors, and brushes of different strokes.
Chongye looked at them and was a little confused: Is this... trying to train him into a painter?
In fact, Chongye’s painting skills are not that bad. When he was on Earth, he was still a little famous comic artist who specializes in drawing cute things and has many fans.
However, he was injured later due to an accident. He recovered for a while and had his hands full.
When he drew that simple drawing last time, the pens he found were all used by "giants". One pen was half as long as his body. It was difficult to pick it up with heavy leaves, and the drawing process was even more like a war.
Before, he could never imagine that in his lifetime, he would have fought with a pen for one day. Life was really wonderful.
Later, the painting was not found, and Chongye didn't take it much.
Maybe it was thrown away, right? He thought so.
Of course, he never expected that the painting was not only not discarded, but also equipped with expensive and exquisite picture frames, hung in Grand Duke Detrick's study, and was "appreciated and appreciated" from time to time.
However, the brushes sent are specially customized now, and they just hold them in your hand. When Chongye is bored, he will draw a few strokes to practice his hands.
But what he couldn't understand was why every time he saw the white paper he was smearing casually, the woman who was responsible for taking care of him would excitedly praise him and then take away the drawing paper.
Could it be that they really intend to train him to become a painter? Chongye is a little confused.
Last time he saw the big cat, it asked him if he would go to the current settlement of Katemon with it. Chongye thought about it for a long time, but finally refused.
He knew very well that Kate Beast was in an environment where he could not adapt to the blood-eating environment.
He can't catch prey alone and survive in the jungle. His self-esteem cannot accept that he is raised by a big cat. And what if the big cat finds a partner in the future? Wouldn't he be embarrassed as a drag? If the big cat can't find a partner, he will be even more unacceptable.
After rejecting Kate Beast, Chongye was still a little sad.
In fact, he knew when he saw the Kate beast hunting scene that they would eventually separate. It was more suitable for the wild jungle of big cats than the civilized world, while heavy leaves were the opposite.
After sharing the hardships, Kate Beast has long become his important friend. It wants to reunite with its tribe, and Chongye is also sincerely happy for it. Then he began to plan for himself.
When it fell into Hou Yao's hands, Chongye secretly vowed not to be a pet that could be slaughtered. However, to achieve this goal, he must have the corresponding capital.
If you want to live independently, you must have a skill. If you can’t even support yourself, how can you talk about independence?
Before this, he had to learn the language here. Communication and communication are one of the most primitive needs of mankind, and they both require language as a medium.
At present, he did not know how Grand Duke Detri wanted to arrange him. If he wanted to "raise" him, Chongye only hoped that he could finally express his desire for freedom to him, and he could work hard to make money and return it to him.
Chongye never thought that the Detriere Guild disagreed with this request.
On the one hand, Grand Duke Detri seems reasonable and should not make things difficult for him; on the other hand, didn’t Big Cat say Grand Duke Detri hates weak creatures? Maybe he took him in because he was pitiful and had nowhere to go. He might be so happy to hear that he was leaving!
Chongye wanted to make up Detri's open heart, but after a while, he had to give up in disappointment.
The man's angry look left a deep impression on him, and Chongye was a little scared when he thought about it.
After thinking for a while, he decided to pretend to be more well-behaved and sensible. If you love each other, it is not so easy to be a pet. If Grand Duke Detrill gets angry, his little body can't bear his anger.
He picked up the brush. Since they expressed their intention to cultivate his hobby and he also liked painting, it would be better to fulfill their wishes.
...
Detri was stunned when he saw the newly sent painting.
The maid didn't dare to look at his face, buried her head, and her voice was like a mosquito: "Master, the painting has been delivered, I'll go back first."
Detrier didn't have time to pay attention to her. With a wave of his hand, the maid ran away as if she was amnesty. While running, she thought: Lord Leiden and Mr. Little Man... are you too brave, right?
Detri stared at the drawing paper, and a little dragon cub with silver scales and golden eyes was wet, without any trace, and was trying hard to drill out of the eggshell.
Chongye sat on his arm again and was taken into the spaceship by Detri.
This picture looks so familiar that it almost immediately reminds Chongye of the scene when his cousin walked around holding his beloved doll when he was a child. He didn't know what he felt for a moment.
The "doll" Chongye tilted his head slightly, and he could only see Grand Duke Detri's tense jaw, and he still didn't look very good.
Why was he angry again? Chongye sighed softly.
Although Detri hadn't looked at him, he kept paying attention to his every move. A soft sigh was keenly caught in his ears, and he couldn't help but pursed his lips.
Then the next second he heard the soft and clear voice saying word by word: "Der, Te, Li..."
Detri turned his head suddenly, and a little shock appeared in his gilded eyes. Looking at Leiden next to him, his mouth slightly opened, and he also lost his usual calmness.
Because what the little Blue Star people spoke was neither the language of their race nor the common language, but the authentic Copa Star language.
