Honesty is a virtue, but it turns out that communicating with honest people—especially honest and self-centered people—is not necessarily a pleasant thing.
Mr. Durand is not as honest as an aristocrat, but his habitual self-centered evaluation standards make Lux, who is responsible for the reception, feel physically and mentally exhausted. In the eyes of Mr. Durand, art is worth spreading.
The beauty of everything, compared with it, the political game between nobles is just "boring, destined to become a mediocre page of historical records".
From an artist's perspective, Du Lang's words actually make sense. Artists must have their own artistic pursuits and not be influenced by fame and fortune.
But the problem is that becoming an artist is only Du Lang's ideal. In front of him, Lux has proven through actions that her pursuit of art is limited. In this case, Du Lang is still insisting on persuading Lux.
"Don't live up to your own talent", this is a bit ignorant.
In desperation, Lux simply moved out of Sona to "chat" with Durang, while she stayed as far away as possible.
Then, facing Sona who couldn't speak and refused to reveal that she could communicate through the sound of the piano, Durang finally shut up and went to visit Galio.
After the Battle of Mithril City and Galio's return to Forsbarrow, Lux formed a special team of mages to take special care of him, and then planned a "scope of activities" specifically for him.
Standing on the top of Forsbarrow's city, Galio only needed to keep his feet still so as not to disturb the flow of people. He could move around freely, or say hello to passers-by.
Although most people in Forsbyro are in awe of Galio, the Colossus of Justice is one of the symbols of Demacia after all. Even if Galio is very oppressive when he waves, no one will be too afraid.
Maybe Galio coming back to life would cause panic elsewhere, but this is Fosbairo, and everyone is used to seeing the Archon, so what's scary about Galio coming back to life?
With the ability to communicate freely with others, Galio is undoubtedly very excited, but considering the astonishing consumption of magic power after Galio becomes active, even if there is a magician as a "magic reserve", Fosbairo cannot allow Galio to
Every day I wave my arms and chat with everyone I pass by.
For this reason, Fosbairo has specially introduced a law that prohibits people from staying near Galio for a long time. If you want to have a family time with the Colossus of Justice, then you can wait until the five-day rest day. At this time, anyone can freely do so.
Talk to Galio.
Although the communication time is limited, Galio is still very satisfied with his current situation - in the past, standing outside the city of Xiongdu, he could only listen, not move, let alone speak or communicate, but now, although he has been standing for five days
Only then can I have one day of free time, but this is already not easy.
After all, magic power is hard to come by, and this little person like Lux also has her own work to do!
When Durang came to visit, it was a day off. Mr. Durang, who wanted to carefully observe the greatest work of his ancestors, came to the top of the city excitedly, and then staggered because of Galio's waving action.
"He, he really came back to life?"
Sona nodded and smiled.
"It's unbelievable. It turns out that the content in the notes is true. This colossus can really move!" Mr. Durang pushed up his glasses and looked at the colossus of justice in front of him in disbelief. "This is really a miracle of great art!"
"
Sona wanted to tell him that Galio's ability to move had nothing to do with art, but considering the role she played and Mr. Durang's poor communication skills, she smiled and nodded again.
Sona's smile was gentle and beautiful, and even had some kind of soothing magic power, but when it fell in Dulang's eyes, it only made the sculptor feel a little irritated. He shook his head and simply stopped talking to Sona.
, but strode to Galio's feet.
"Colossus of Justice, you can hear me and understand me, right?"
"Of course, little man, I am the learned Galio!" Galio carefully looked at the familiar guy in front of him, "You look familiar, have I seen you somewhere?"
"Of course!" Mr. Durang puffed up his chest proudly, "Twenty years ago, I became the youngest sculptor in history qualified to care for you, although I do not deny that part of this honor comes from
It is the legacy of my ancestors, but it also fully illustrates my artistic attainments..."
It can be seen that Durang is truly proud of his artistic level and talent.
"Twenty years ago, oh, I remembered it." Galio blinked his big eyes, "You left a emblem at my feet. I didn't see what it looked like, but then you were asked to
Erase it..."
Durang's eyes widened, and he hurriedly waved his hand to signal Galio to shut up, but Galio seemed to regard this behavior as a kind of excitement, and loudly recounted his memories in a voice that could be heard by everyone within a three-mile radius.
.
"You seemed to have had a quarrel with someone, but I never saw you again after that. What did those little people who quarreled with you say about you..."
Du Lang's face was ashen.
"They said that you are very different from your ancestors, but it seems that your posture has long surpassed him." Galio's memory is as good as that of a certain Wuliang teacher who likes to reveal people's background. "Who is your ancestor?"
?Is he famous?"
"...He is your maker." Mr. Durang seemed like a frost-beaten eggplant, his whole body was visibly decadent, "Damn it, how could you remember it so clearly?"
"Oh, you are my father's descendant!"
Galio was completely unaware of how much trouble his expose had caused to Durang. He leaned down and looked at Durang in front of him carefully with unprecedented seriousness.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What a pity, little man." Galio finally shook his head, "I woke up for the first time during a war and was unable to see my
Father, I once thought about expressing my gratitude to him personally for creating me, but Lux told me that little people will die, and they cannot be repaired after death... So it is a pity that I could not see him after all.
to him."
Galio's words caused Durang to fall into silence. He looked at the Colossus of Justice in front of him who was seriously learning to express his emotions, and he was suddenly speechless.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Mr. Durand's mind, artistic level is constantly developing, so in his opinion, when it comes to artistic level, he has actually already surpassed his ancestor who became a monk in the middle of the road - Mr. Durang of that generation was the most famous.
He started out as a stonemason carving tombstones. After a series of studies and opportunities, he became a sculptor and had the honor of presiding over the carving work of the Colossus of Justice.
Mr. Durang himself has been guided by his family to start playing with mud since he was sensible. It is no exaggeration to say that his study and research time in the field of sculpture may have already exceeded that of his ancestors.
But in the eyes of most Demacians, the current Mr. Durang is still far from his ancestors. It is natural that he has a high level of sculpture, but he already has the skills of his ancestors.
Level, most Demacians don't recognize it.
In fact, Durang chose to come to Forsbarrow largely because of a quarrel - his bad temper had always disdained some of the troubled guys from the Art Volunteer Association, so when the Art Support Association needed
When they were engaging in business exchanges with him, he mercilessly accused certain artists of "lack of artistic accomplishment and just making up the numbers", thus irritating the Art Support Association.
Then, the guy he criticized became so angry that he responded in a weird way with an open letter.
"Some pretentious artists should think carefully about their own positioning. They keep saying that they are better than others, but their respectable ancestors left us a giant statue of justice, but he himself only knows how to use the most harsh words.
Evaluate those promising newcomers..."
After responding, the Art Support Association blocked Durang.
Mr. Durang is willing to accept Lux's request for help, not because he needs to gain fame and fortune, but because he hopes that through Lux's relationship, he can lift the "ban" on him in the Xiongdu art circle, so that he can happily go back to spraying.
Come to Forsbyro and take a good look at Galio, the Colossus of Justice. If you can, make one yourself so that you will have more confidence when you spray it back.
As a result, after meeting Galio, Mr. Du Lang suddenly felt a little confused about his future.
Do you really have a chance to spray it back?
In other words, do you really have the ability to create a new Galio?
Durang is fully confident that he can use the forbidden magic stone to create a more refined, more vivid, and more artistic colossus, but he cannot actually guarantee that the colossus will come alive.
After actually meeting Galio, Durang has confirmed that a sculpture that cannot come to life, no matter how high his artistic attainments are, may not be able to compare with the Colossus of Justice.
After realizing this, Durang was quite confused. He didn't know what he was going to do for a moment. After briefly saying a few words to Galio, he stumbled away.
The next day, Mr. Durand's eyes were red, as if he had not slept all night.
After meeting Lux, he came over immediately and asked a question that he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Miss Laxana, is there any way you can make a carved giant statue come to life?"
Although Lux learned from Sona about Durang being exposed by Galio, she obviously still couldn't understand the other person's mental process - yesterday she was still shouting about the priceless sculptor of art, and today she suddenly found herself asking how to make the colossus alive.
Come here...the contrast between before and after is really big!
"What... happened?" Lux asked with some confusion, "To bring the Colossus back to life, I'm afraid it requires magic. The reason why Galio came back to life was related to the Battle of Green Teeth Peak."
Hearing that it was related to magic, Du Lang seemed to have been drained of all his strength and lost all energy in an instant. He murmured "It's impossible" and turned around like a zombie.
……………………
After that, Durang locked himself in the hotel and didn't go out for three whole days. Just when Lux was thinking about whether there was something wrong with him and was about to force the door open, Mr. Durang finally came out.
Compared with before, although his eye sockets were sunken and his voice was hoarse, his mental state seemed to be much better. In his hand, he was holding a small, figurine-like figure. After seeing Lux
After that, he displayed it immediately.
"I can't give up my artistic pursuit!" He once again returned to his previous enthusiastic appearance, and placed the little man in front of Lux that he had spent three days molding little by little with the Forbidden Demon Stone.
Miss Shanna, even I have heard about you fighting in Mithril City last year. Compared to someone like me who only pursues art, you must have a better chance of appearing on the battlefield and chasing your own glory, right?
"
Lux blinked her eyes. She felt a little uncomfortable with Durang being so good at talking and speaking in human language, so much so that she didn't even realize what the other party was trying to do at first.
"Please take it with you and bring it to the battlefield!" Durang put the little sculpture into Lux's hand, "It can be used as your amulet, just like the Colossus of Justice once did, if possible.
, I hope to see it come alive..."
Lux opened her mouth. She wanted to say that just contact with magic would not be enough to make the sculpture made of the forbidden magic stone come alive. Galio's awakening was a very complicated coincidence, but it was obvious that she did not think so.
The law says.
"I will go back to Baiya City." Du Lang seemed to have regained his confidence again, "Like my ancestors, they spent their whole life and went all out to carve a giant statue. I have understood that before and those who have no artistic pursuits,
Guys get into a fight, it’s all because I’m not pure enough!”
Lux's eyes widened, and she didn't know how to respond to Durang's words for a moment - she only felt that this idealistic statement that attributed everything to "not pure enough" was full of flaws, but she had no way to complain.
In the end, Lux could only nod numbly, and promised that she would take this little forbidden magic stone with her. She finally figured it out, even if Mr. Durang provided it for her, after mixing it with lime,
For the sake of the Forbidden Demon Tree fossils that were enough to build the wall of Xinfu City, I had no reason to use words to dispel the "Tao Heart" that the other party had finally gathered together again.
Moreover, considering that the situation in Demacia may be chaotic in the future, maybe it is also a good thing for Durang to focus on sculpture behind closed doors at this time?
In this way, Lux made her promise, accepted Durang's gift, and bid farewell to Durang the next day, who was eager to return home.
Then, just when Lux finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to start making the Forbidden Demon Stone, Iva brought back Ino's latest letter.
In this letter, Ino proposed a plan to return to Forsbarrow for the first time, and with her came an Ionian expedition team.
