Dorothy really wasn't in Versailles this time. She really only knew a little bit about art.
After all, in his previous life, he was just an otaku, and what he listened to the most were various anime theme songs. Although he thought these were pretty good, but if you want to talk about art, it seems that he couldn't talk about it.
After all, he really didn't understand what art was when he was a housekeeper. Anyway, every time he saw the news about the sky-high price of a certain master's work at a certain art exhibition, he looked at the pictures of himself on the screen.
I can't tell what the genius of the artwork is at all. I just feel that he is a fool after all and has no eyesight to appreciate artworks.
At that time, his ability to appreciate works of art was probably limited to whether they looked good or not.
And even in this life, after traveling through time and becoming a witch, her native nature seems to have not changed much, and it is still so superficial. However, because the witch has a much stronger perception ability than humans, she is not interested in artworks or anything like that.
I barely have my own opinions.
Well, in her current view, art is almost like her cooking skills. It can be roughly divided into two aspects, one is pure skill, and the other is the intention contained in the work.
Even by analogy, many things in this world are like this. For example, swordsmanship is also divided into sword skills and sword heart, and martial arts also has martial arts and martial souls...
Well, after all, this is an idealistic world, so the latter is even more important than the former most of the time.
After understanding this, she recalled some of the world's masterpieces she had seen in her previous life, and she could always easily identify those true masterpieces that often contained unique emotions.
Some are the creator's own emotions, such as longing, admiration, etc., while others are the atmosphere of the times.
Dorothy didn't know whether her special way of appreciation was correct, so she could only say that she had a little bit of self-understanding. This was a fact.
As for how to communicate with Miss Venus...
OK, it’s time for the time traveler’s classic copycat.
Well, although he had never deliberately listened to any high-end concerts in his previous life, in that modern era, certain things were really ubiquitous. You could always see them on the streets, in some TV programs, or even in advertisements.
I saw and heard some world masterpieces there.
The otaku witch now has a photographic memory, and all her memories of her previous life are still intact in the memory palace. Therefore, it is quite simple to dig out one or two world-famous songs from the nooks and crannies of that memory.
.
Well, if nothing else, at least there was a lot of material in the music class when I was in school that I could "learn from".
In this way, the work will be created.
As for playing skills, well, this may be quite difficult for humans. It may take a long time to just learn an instrument, but for a witch, mastering these simple musical instrument skills is not difficult.
Many difficulties in human learning lie in how to tame one's own hands and feet that "have their own ideas." That is to say, your eyes can do it, your brain can do it, but your hands and feet think you don't know it yet.
But Dorothy, as a martial arts goddess, has already completed the taming of her whole body. She can learn musical instruments and other things at a glance, and can make mortal masters become autistic once they get started and become proficient.
Well, this is a robot-like learning ability.
However, just like food cooked by robots, factory products are not as high-end as handmade products in some people's minds, and the same is true for careless playing.
Although the otaku witch is not that kind of "soul eater", in a field involving idealism such as art, she can reluctantly agree with this statement.
Unintentional performance is nothing more than playing music. It is essentially a broadcast machine. It is indeed not considered an art.
But it’s not a big problem. Whether it’s the cooking heart or the martial spirit she’s familiar with, Dorothy has plenty of experience in placing her affection on things. This is the saying that after reaching a certain level, one method can be used to master all kinds of methods.
She is confident that she can integrate her emotions into her playing.
At this point, the art is complete.
Of course, she doesn't feel that she is already a top-notch art master. After all, she is just an excellent imitator at best, but does not have the creative ability of a true master.
Well, from this point of view, she and Atty are really of the same origin.
Senior Sister Fanny said that the Demon King doesn’t understand art, but it doesn’t mean that Artie really doesn’t know how to sing and dance. The Demon King is really almost omniscient. As long as she thinks about it, there is really nothing in this world that she can learn.
Will not.
Therefore, the Demon King does not understand art, but he is actually just teasing Artie as an imitator, not a creator.
Well, to use an analogy, it is almost the difference between chefs and gourmets. Dorothy and Artie are both excellent "artistic gourmets", but they really don't know much about artistic creation themselves.
Maybe this is the so-called science students who don’t understand the romance of liberal arts students.
Of course, this is not absolute. After all, whether it is Dorothy or Artie, whether they can become art masters only depends on whether they want to and whether they have the interest.
After all, Dorothy's unreasonable flash of inspiration can make her kill any so-called master instantly, and Artie may not understand art, but the devil, who is the end of all desires, understands people's hearts and desires very well.
The otaku witch has always felt that maybe the devil kings of later generations like to appreciate art so much. Maybe what she appreciates is not the art itself at all, but the various intense emotions and desires contained in the art.
Of course, all this is just Dorothy's personal opinion. She is not an art student, nor is she a born artist like Lord Dragon King, so she doesn't know the difference between her own ideas and those of a real artist.
Therefore, she proposed to have a communication with Venus, just to see the difference between herself and a real artist.
"Then, how about I do it first?"
Out of absolute confidence in her artistic attainments, the Veela Witch said this without any politeness.
To this, Dorothy naturally nodded in agreement. After all, she just needed some time to look through the instructions for various musical instruments.
So, Miss Venus went straight to the old piano in the corner of the room.
After she sat down, she did not play immediately, but closed her eyes and brewed her emotions for a while.
The otaku witch had already picked up the musical instrument repair manual nearby and started reading it.
Well, after all, this is originally a musical instrument repair room, so it is quite normal to have a book like this. In addition to some maintenance knowledge, the book also introduces the basic usage of some common musical instruments.
Dorothy was very satisfied with what she saw. She began to read ten lines at a time, and her reading speed was comparable to quantum reading.
But at this time, Artie came to her side, but the devil girl took the rare arrogance and took the musical instrument repair book from her teacher's hand, and then said.
"Teacher, please listen carefully. Venus's performance deserves your attention."
Artie said seriously.
The otaku witch was not angry at having her book taken away. After all, even though the book on musical instrument repair was as thick as a dictionary, she had just finished reading it for the first time, and what happened after that could be determined by the second child and the old man in her mind.
3. Carry out further detailed study.
Multiple thinking is such a good thing.
She just looked at the naughty child in front of her with her aunt's smile, and then nodded.
"Yeah, I understand. I will listen carefully, but you also said that you don't like art. If you don't like art, you are not so serious."
This was indeed the first time that she saw Adi being so interested in someone other than herself, so she teased him by the way.
"I...I don't like it in the first place. For example, the so-called art in the theater outside is too shallow in my opinion. Venus's performance can only arouse my interest a little bit. She is
It’s my favorite toy.”
Being teased like this by the teacher, Adi's cheeky face turned red. She turned her head and said this.
Dorothy did not try to expose this guy's rare display of true feelings, but looked expectantly at the purple-haired girl in the corner.
Well, to be recognized by Artie, a guy with eyes on the top of his head, this future witch queen must have something, and she has some expectations for the next performance.
But Venus was not disturbed by the whispers of the two people on the side. The purple-haired girl just sat on the stool, closing her eyes and concentrating.
Obviously he was sitting in a dilapidated repair room, and the thing in front of him was just a dilapidated old piano, but just because of the girl's movements, everything seemed solemn and solemn, as if he were in the top concert hall.
Then, the girl raised her hand, her delicate and slender fingers gently brushed the keys, and a beautiful and melodious tune sounded.
Just when the music started playing, Dorothy's eyes lit up, but after she listened carefully for a moment, she frowned slightly, and then continued to frown until the end of the song.
It was not until the music ended and Venus calmed down that the purple-haired girl turned her head and saw Dorothy, who had been frowning.
This immediately made the Veela Witch feel nervous. After all, this teacher was her good friend. If she was dissatisfied with her performance, it would inevitably affect her evaluation in Artie's mind.
But at the same time, Venus was a little dissatisfied. After all, she felt that her performance just now was the best in recent times, and she even performed a little beyond her level. This should not be criticized in any case.
"Teacher, is there anything wrong with the performance just now?"
Adi also noticed his teacher's frown, and asked in confusion.
Well, she was really fascinated by it just now. She felt that Venus's performance today was really great and did not embarrass her in front of the teacher. However, when she looked at the teacher in the blink of an eye, she became a little uneasy.
"Oh, it's nothing. The performance is perfect, and the emotion in the music is also very full. It's really good. I'm not dissatisfied with your performance. I'm just a little dissatisfied with your music and this person's character.
"
Dorothy said this without mercy.
She thought about the performance of Venus just now. Just as she said, it was a performance with impeccable technique and equally deep and profound emotions in the music.
If we look at her standards for art, there is no doubt that this is qualified, or even more than qualified, it should be said to be wonderful, outstanding, and even perfect.
The simple performance was even like the two wives' musical she watched before, directly creating a performance illusion, allowing Dorothy to feel the complex emotions contained in the performance more clearly.
However, it was precisely this empathy that made Dorothy feel so uncomfortable and disliked so much.
Grandpa Duo is kind-hearted, which shows that there is no tragedy, but Venus's performance is so sad, it has even transcended sadness, and is almost desperate.
Listening to this performance, the otaku witch's good mood for the whole day was gone.
She simply read the life of Venus directly from this song.
This Veela lady, like Artie, is a member of the Black Sheep family, but unlike the demon girl who is a collateral orphan, Venus is actually a direct descendant. Her mother is even the current head of the Black Sheep family, the only one.
The problem is that her other mother is not the wife of the housekeeper.
Therefore, in popular terms, Venus is an illegitimate daughter.
Well, this status is not as good as starting as an orphan.
The high cost of giving birth to a witch is doomed to the scarcity of illegitimate children. If you can bear a debuff that greatly damages your strength, it must be true love.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But since you and the mistress are really in love, where will the real wife put her face, and what will happen to the family's reputation?
Even if you don't really expect love in a big family, most of the time it's marriage, but if you can have an illegitimate child, it's still a slap in the face.
Therefore, in order to protect Venus, her mother, the head of the family, did not dare to let her live within the family, or even dare to disclose her existence. She was sent to the Lamb's Yard to be raised as an orphan as soon as she was born. This can be regarded as
A kind of shelter.
But in the end, she couldn't hide it, and her existence was finally known to the wife of the house owner, so all kinds of targets and sufferings came.
Of course, because her mother really loved her, she couldn't die. At most, she would just suffer a little injustice. However, the injustice in the eyes of an adult would be a huge mountain for a young child.
Venus has been an outlier in the orphanage since she was a child. Other children do not dare to get involved in her complicated family affairs. Most of them stay far away. There is not so much bloody bullying, but this invisible rejection
It's scary enough.
She had no friends since she was a child, so the only thing she could do was go to the library and read books. However, the poor qualifications of the half-witch meant that her magic talent was mediocre. Those magic secrets were like a bible in her eyes, so she could only retreat.
Next, I started to read some miscellaneous books from the eyes of the witch, that is, books about various alien species.
Among them, she was especially fascinated by various art books. The beautiful music, graceful dance, exquisite sculptures, dreamy paintings, etc. were all so charming.
Art soothed the girl's lonely heart, and her pursuit of art became the driving force that supported her survival.
She found some used musical instruments in the warehouse of the orphanage. From then on, that remote and deserted warehouse became her secret base, and she began to create her own art here.
Until one day, a guy with black hair and black eyes followed the passionate emotions in the music and came to the warehouse, breaking Venus' peaceful life.
From then on, the lonely girl had her only friend and audience.
