Chapter 47 God-Given Pigment
After Amos left Elle's room, Annan quickly put on his clothes.
But he didn't go out immediately.
Instead, he turned around and locked the door, then took out the book - "The Curse and Seal of the Soul" from under the pillow, and read it calmly.
Without a doubt, this is the best time.
Amos is a very smart and gentle man.
He must be apologetic and embarrassed for the offense just now. Although this won't allow him to follow Annan's words and do anything, at least he won't break into Elle's room again.
So at this time, even if he thinks Ellie has been in the room for too long, he won't barge in the door again.
Because he will think that this is Alley's punishment for him - in his understanding, Alley must be angry. Hanging him out alone for ten minutes was a kind of petty punishment, and it was also time for Alley to calm down.
Then, Amos won't wander around. Instead, he will stay in the kitchen quietly and wait for Annan to go out.
Otherwise, once Annan goes out and doesn't see him, she might get angry again... With Annan's one-sided understanding of Alley, she should have such a reaction.
And because Ai Lei was exposed in front of him, then Amos was equivalent to being forcibly reminded by Annan that "the daughter has grown up" and needs some private space. With a sense of moral guilt, Amos would no longer search Elle's room.
Then Annan's bloody kitchen knife hidden in the cabinet and the book "The Curse and Seal of the Soul" will not be easily discovered.
Of course... provided that Annan can't really stay too long.
Fortunately, this book is one of the best surveys.
Because it has bookmarks in it, it just gets stuck on the most important page. So Annan didn't waste any time, and he could directly see the core content.
"...The seal using painting as a medium also needs to use the ceremony of communicating with the skeleton master, the burial mother-in-law, and the dragon in the mirror. Among them, the skeleton master's ceremony is more recommended, because the skeleton master hardly needs to pay in the first ceremony. cost……"
Seeing this somewhat familiar sentence, Annan's heart moved slightly.
Shouldn't...
He held the page in his right hand and turned to the title page with his left.
"...Grynznuha Winter."
Annan slowly read out the familiar name.
Should it be unexpected?
why is it you again?
Is Amos' wife a fan of you?
Or, is this author with the blood of Lord Winter, or a best-selling... best-selling banned book author?
Besides, do you have a grudge against Lord Skeleton? Or is it just the meal of the skeleton? Why does every book have to teach its readers how to scour the skeleton's wool...
Annan curled his lips and turned the book back.
"...If the performer of the ceremony is a painter, the skeleton will ask the question, whether the other party wants 'paint', 'brush' or 'paper'. At this time, the best choice is 'paper'.
"Because if the person holding the ceremony chooses the pigment, the skeleton will give a special pigment, which can silently strip out part of the other person's spirit when he is painting the other person's portrait, and store it in the portrait painting.
"Its advantage is that the other party will not be aware of it, and this part of the spirit can be trained as a guardian spirit or used to curse and kill the enemy. The guardian spirit can move freely in all the paintings painted by this artist; But the disadvantage is that these spirits cannot escape from the portrait, and the amount of pigments obtained in one ritual is limited, and cannot form effective abilities.
"And the paintings made with this pigment will make the portraits extraordinarily realistic. It is far beyond the normal level of the painter and is easily exposed. Therefore, it is not recommended.
"Except for the pigment that cannot be selected, the remaining two options are relatively common. Next, the differences between the two options are described respectively.
And how to seal the soul in detail and cast the curse..."
The next part will turn the page.
Annan carefully read the rest of the book together before closing the book.
Sure enough... the next two options are to trick others to sign their name with a "pen", and to write contracts and contracts with paper. Nothing to do with painting.
At this time, Annan flashed a reminder:
[Exploring the secrets of Amos Morrison] He has successfully completed this branch task.
"Sure enough..."
Annan muttered.
Everything is clear.
"Our Mr. Amos should be a well-known talented painter. He has an extraordinary dedication and talent for painting and beauty.
"But he was in great pain because of some obsession—perhaps he felt the limit of his own talents, or for some other reason. By looking through the collection of books left by his deceased wife, he accidentally found a way to sign a contract with Duke Bone.
"He doesn't need the power of the skeleton to curse others. Instead, he wants to borrow the 'magic paint' to enhance his paintings. Let him paint what he can't paint with ordinary paint and his own abilities. thing……"
That is, the human soul.
In this case, everything makes sense.
After Mr. Amos tried to paint portraits with this pigment, he could no longer get rid of the magic of this pigment, and could not accept his mediocrity before...
He couldn't accept the "garden" he painted, maybe because he couldn't use this paint to bring out the soul of the garden; he didn't dare to use this paint to paint a portrait of his daughter Ellie because he was worried that it might affect Ellie's health.
— but he dared to paint for other people with this paint.
Therefore, Annan had no pity in his heart for the poor painter who was targeted by the skeleton master.
Everything is self-inflicted.
From Annan's point of view, his original paintings were already quite excellent. And he is only in his thirties now... how many painters are famous only in old age.
But he couldn't wait any longer.
This may be the first bottleneck period he faces in his life. Because of his extraordinary talent, he had had smooth sailings in his previous life and never encountered setbacks... Even before he got the paint, he had been invited to paint a portrait of the Viscountess - even twice.
For Amos' age, that's a testament to his talent.
Although there are still many unsolved mysteries...
For example, why did Amos do this, why did he eat Elle's eyeballs, why Elle was sealed on the painting by him; the whole gallery does not say where the more than 100 paintings came from ; Is this Viscountess the wife of the old Viscount of Roseburg... and why the entire Frozen Water Harbor will be cursed.
But those secrets must be hidden in higher-level copies.
He only entered the third floor this time, and it was normal that he could not get all the information.
Anyway, Annan can enter the dungeon at any time after that... and maybe he can fool the player to help him decrypt it.
Annan dares to promise, players will definitely like this.
At least on the gallery stage, the thrill...it's like someone with a dull palate who tastes spicy and piping hot Sichuan hot pot for the first time.
Oh, by the way, you can tinker with a live broadcast channel for them. Annan has seen this feature in the background before.
Although it is not open to the public for the time being to be on the safe side, it can also be posted on the forum for other players to come and watch their dungeon strategy. It’s time to try it out. In this case, the players who are watching the live broadcast—and Annan who is watching, can keep the memory lost when the player fails…
Now, it's almost time to end the copy.
Annan looked at the lonely [Live] and showed a gentle and kind smile.
—Then, he took the kitchen knife out of the dresser.
