Chapter 468(1/2)
“Where are we going now?”
After leaving the mountainous area, the two changed into clothes and got into the car prepared in advance.
Judging from the clothes on his body, Roger could probably guess where they were going. "The dress on his body matches the color of your hair."
Roger smiled and praised.
"Louis Caveden."
Anna pretended not to see the teasing on Roger's face. This was the second time the two of them performed a mission. The last time in Little Red Riding Hood's world, she was still poor, and most of the battles were completed by Roger.
This time Anna felt that she needed to show off anyway.
"He is a famous Polish painter, and he comes from a painting family. His father and grandfather were even inducted into the European Centennial Arts Hall of Fame."
"Although he is young, the artistic talent he shows is even above his elders, integrating different schools of painting techniques, painting skills and aesthetic tastes."
"At a young age, you have a bright future!"
Roger listened casually to Anna's words, and he couldn't help but chuckled until it was over, "Do you think it's really good to praise another man in front of me?"
"I haven't finished speaking yet."
Anna raised her head, "In addition to her outstanding family background and talent, this Louis is also a famous handsome man in the upper class."
"For various reasons, he even won the honorary jazz title issued by the Ingman Royal, and he was considered an absolute nobleman."
"We will be going to attend a banquet he held tonight, which is also a small art exchange meeting. He will display several paintings he has recently drawn and auctioned on the spot!"
Anna glanced at Roger, "But this is an internal exchange meeting and you need an invitation to enter."
"Dear Mr. Bedville, now is the time to show your strength."
Anna pretended to look at the time.
"Well, there is still an hour before the arrival location, and it should be time."
But Roger shook his head, "Invitation?"
“I haven’t needed that kind of thing for a long time.”
The two talked and laughed, time passed quickly, and the car drove all the way, and finally came to a manor built halfway up the mountain.
The air here is fresh and the scenery is beautiful, and to be fair, it is a good place for leisure and vacation.
The decoration style of the entire building is also quite modern, which makes Roger, who has been dealing with the castle in recent times, feels a little fresh.
When Roger arrived at the gate of the manor, he unexpectedly met another person, Kidd, the sorcerer who came to investigate with Amanda.
Seeing Roger, Kidd's expression was a little cramped, and he wanted to stay away from these two people.
"Let's go in together."
Roger's eyes flashed with strange light, and the way was opened by Yaksifyin. Ordinary guards and waiters could not resist. The three of them successfully penetrated into the manor without any obstacles.
It was afternoon, and the formal banquet had not started yet, so the host was naturally not present, but the entire manor was kept in order.
There were many guests coming and going. Although Roger didn't care about current affairs, Amanda and Kidd around him recognized several big names who often appeared on TV.
The entire estate is divided into several areas, with open lawns, beautiful gardens, and even a small hunting ground built along the mountain.
On the top of the manor is a square glass curtain wall with a helicopter apron on the top. The entire curtain wall has also been specially treated, and there is a large swimming pool inside it.
The temperature in Poland has dropped during this season, so naturally there is no way to hold a so-called pool party. However, the glass curtain wall covering the roof absorbs some heat and perfectly solves light pollution, making the temperature of the entire pool suitable.
There are many beautiful women in cool clothes swimming and playing around the pool.
As a family with heritage, portraits of family owners of all generations are hung in the most eye-catching position in the lobby on the first floor.
Each portrait was painted by himself, reflecting painting skills of different styles. Roger naturally had no interest in these, but while observing the portrait, he found some strange things.
Looking at Amanda busy looking for clues, Roger wanted to remind the other party, but he thought about it and felt that for the sake of his happiness tonight, he should not disturb the Warlock Miss who was in the fun.
Well... maybe solving puzzles is also a pleasure.
In addition to the family statues in the first floor lobby, there are also paintings by the owner of the manor and his elders in the corridor next to it.
The well-dressed men and women walked in with wine glasses, whispering in low voices from time to time, and bursts of admiration came from their mouths.
“It’s so boring.”
As an ordinary person, this was once the life that Roger yearned for the most, but now he has become accustomed to the thrillingness of the extraordinary world. This seemingly flashy and enjoyable life has become farther and farther away from him.
"To be honest, this kind of banquet is not as interesting as a water ghost's brain."
Amanda and Kidd went to collect clues separately, while Roger was free and found a corner where no one was in the air to drink the wine in his glass.
He rejected the invitation from several young girls to the pool. Although the girls were young and beautiful, Roger felt that in order to avoid them being burned to Amanda tonight, it would be better for him to keep a little distance from them.
Not long after, Amanda walked over pretending to be graceful, with a smile on her face and nodding at Roger.
"This guy really has some problems. This manor is where he often lives, but here, I didn't find the place where he usually paints."
"Also do you feel that there is always a strange atmosphere lingering here, which seems solemn and elegant, but makes people feel inexplicably creepy."
"Just like the paintings you've seen, there's a strong sense of difference."
Roger nodded.
Because he and Amanda have different power attributes, they will naturally have different angles when observing the problem, but this does not affect the progress of the task.
Seeing the two talking in a low voice, Kidd, who was standing not far away, didn't know whether to get close or stay away.
Roger couldn't help but feel a little funny. He waved his hand. Kidd was as amnesty as he had a legacy knight to take action. Such a task was absolutely ready. Without being by my side at all times, Kidd naturally left with joy.
Roger tried to guide Amanda to discover other clues, and he could almost conclude that there was a big problem with this Louis, but what needs to be determined was his method and motivation.
There may be madmen in the real world who will kill people for no reason.
But in the extraordinary world, there are very few who really lose their minds. Most of them have meticulous thinking and plans and will never do meaningless things.
"So will there be someone else standing behind this Louis?" Roger felt a little alert, and at this moment, the sound of a propeller came from the top of the manor.
Not long after, a man wearing a straight striped suit, handsome face and silver-colored hair walked down from the top floor surrounded by everyone.
He looked thirty-four or five years old, with a look of despicable pride on his face, his hands were in his pockets, and he responded lukewarmly to the greetings of the guests along the way.
Roger and Anna sat in the corner drinking, chatting and laughing quietly, and did not look too much at Louis's arrival.
It was already evening, and the whole dinner officially began. After some introduction, everyone held a grand art exhibition in the hall.
Every painting displayed by Louis was sold at an extremely high price. When the auction was over, he left the hall on the grounds of rest and returned to the upper floor accompanied by several beauties.
Although there was no host, the atmosphere of the banquet became even more lively. Not long after, Roger noticed that several guests who had just participated in the auction and completed the transaction left the hall one after another.
"It seems they have a private party that belongs to small groups."
Roger glanced at Anna.
"Go and have a look?"
Anna nodded, took Roger's hand, and walked around and walked up the second floor.
After turning a corner and entering the corridor, the two were blocked by four tough men.
This time, before Roger could do it, Anna gently bounced her fingers, and the four bodyguards stood there with stiff expressions.
Simple spiritual shock and impact are all detrimental to ordinary people.
The two continued to move forward, but soon walked into a dead end.
Roger activated the hunter vision and saw everything around him. On the other hand, Anna also found the secret door through her own method.
"To be honest, I prefer to face some extraordinary designs."
Roger shrugged helplessly, but at this moment, he saw a red light flashing in Anna's eyes, and flames flashed across her fingertips.
Then she inserted her flame-burning palm into the wall!
laugh!
A spark appeared somewhere in the wall, and the built-in mechanism was destroyed. When Roger came to his senses, he found a big hole appeared on the wall not far away in front of him.
"Is this your solution?!"
"No matter what method he is, the useful one is the best method!"
Anna said indifferently, then put the dug iron door aside and drilled into the hole.
Large manors like this have complex interior structures. If designed in advance, it is easy to hide some dark rooms inside.
It was obviously such a place that everyone entered.
When the two of them arrived at the bottom, they saw Louis standing on the platform and introducing new paintings to the people they had traded before.
Unlike the works seen in the hall, these paintings by Louis all reveal a strange atmosphere, which is completely consistent with those in Amanda's hands.
On the walls of the room are screens of all sizes, and the screen shows the behavior of other guests in the manor.
Roger observed carefully and soon discovered the source of the image on the screen.
As an art collector, in addition to the works of his elders in his family, the entire manor also collects works by many other painters.
The borders of these paintings are decorated with a hidden camera without exception, and the corresponding camera is a screen of different sizes in the room.
