Episode 5 – Sword of the Gods ‘Purple Blood’ Chapter 4 – Stone Sculpting Patriarch?
The Ernst Magic Academy had just begun a short while ago, and Hillman had arrived at the Magic Academy in search of Linley.
At the entrance of the Ernst Magic Academy, Hillman frowned as he walked back and forth, obviously with a full stomach. The management of Ernst Academy was still very strict, and he, a powerless outsider, was not qualified to directly enter the interior of the academy.
After a while, Yale, who was both wearing sky blue robes, walked over with Reno.
“You’re, Linley’s Uncle Hillman, right? I’ve seen you before.”
Yale spoke warmly.
Hillman had also met Linley’s three brothers before, and seeing Yale and Reno, he immediately walked over and inquired, “Hello, I know that you guys are classmates with Linley, and I wanted to ask, why hasn’t Linley gone back to celebrate New Year’s this time around? In previous years, he would have gone back.”
“This?”
Yale and Reno looked at each other.
Linley’s loss of love wasn’t a good thing, and it wouldn’t be good to say it to his elders.
Reynolds reacted quickly and playfully laughed, “Uncle Hillman, ah, Linley, he’s all about bitter cultivation, and as early as the end of last year before the end of year test, he had reached a rank six magician. And then he went to the Magical Beast Mountain Range again for the trials. Hey, he was so anxious to cultivate that he didn’t even participate in the year-end test. That Dixie instead reached level six magician this test, and others are still saying that Dixie surpassed Linley.”
“Oldest, don’t care about those falsehoods. By the way, Uncle Hillman, Linley he went to the Magical Beast Mountain Range in the middle of December last year, I guess he’ll be back before too long, do you have anything important? If so just tell me, I’ll be sure to relay it to him first.”
Yale said politely.
Hillman pondered for a moment, squeezing out a smile and laughing as he shook his head, “No, nothing important. It’s just that for the past few years Linley has gone back for New Year’s Eve. When he didn’t come back this time, the family was worried that something had happened to him before they came over to ask. Since we know that Linley went to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to try out, that’s all that matters.”
“Don’t worry, Uncle Hillman, when Lao San comes back, I’ll be sure to have him go back earlier to put you all at ease.”
Yale immediately said.
Hillman, however, shook his head and said, “No, there’s no need to rush Linley back, let him feel at ease and cultivate properly, it’s not too late for him to come back when he has the time, there’s not much of a big deal for us in the countryside anyway. Thank you both then, I’ll leave first.”
Yale and Reno watched Hillman leave. Then they turned around with a smile and left.
Suddenly – “Young Master Yale, Young Master Yale.”
An enthusiastic voice rang out from a long distance away.
The two of them, Yale and Reno, turned their heads to look at the distance outside the academy. There was a carriage parked right there, with four knights in armor beside it. Yale frowned in confusion, “Who’s calling me? Oh. It’s Ostoni.”
Yale saw the face revealed in the carriage window now.
Ostoni was the first to jump down from the carriage and smiled humbly at Yale while respectfully serving at the side, at this time the carriage door curtains lifted and a balding old man slowly walked down with a walking stick.
Yale and Renault looked at each other doubtfully.
“Who is this old man, quite a party.”
Reno whispered.
Yale shook his head and whispered, “I don’t recognize this old guy either, but look at Ostoni. It should be some big shot. Ostoni is the upper management of the Proulx Guild Hall. The status is still very high.”
Accompanied by Ostoni, the bald old man walked over with a smile.
“Little Yale. Hello.”
The bald old man greeted Yale with a smile, “Not long ago I met with your father and your father even praised you to me. Haha, Dawson, it is indeed something to be proud of for him to have a wizard son like you.”
Yale looked at the bald old man suspiciously.
And said that he knew his father? Getting close?
Ostoni immediately said from the side, “Young Master Yale, this is the chief curator of our Proulx Guild Hall, you can address him as Curator Maia.”
“No need, you can just address me as Uncle Mya, I’ve also been friends with your father for decades.”
The bald old man said with a warm smile.
Yale’s heart was secretly shocked.
Proulx Guild Hall, this was an artistic mecca. There were branches of the Proulx Hall in several super large cities in the entire Yulan Continent. Don’t look at other places, just look at the Proulx Hall in Finlay City, the stone carvings in that hall, the value of all the stone carvings added up to a staggering figure.
This is only secondary.
The important thing is the status, as the chief curator of an art sanctuary, the curator of Maia has made acquaintance with the topmost figures in the Yulan continent, and even many holy domain experts have friendships with him. How could such a character be underestimated?
Moreover, the Proulx Hall’s own armed forces were also very strong, otherwise how could they protect so many precious stone sculptures?
“Uncle Mya.”
Yale said humbly.
The bald head of the Maia Curator looked at Reno next to him, “And this is?”
“This is my good brother ‘Reno’.” Yale immediately introduced, and Reno courteously said, “Greetings to Curator Maia.”
Curator Maia nodded slightly, from Reno’s every move he could sense that Reno had been well taught since he was a child.
“Uncle Maia, I wonder what you’re here for this time?”
Yale inquired.
Although it was an inquiry, Yale had a guess in his heart, “It’s probably for the oldest three’s stone sculpture “Waking Dream”.”
Last time, before Ernst College went on vacation, because Linley hadn’t sent a stone sculpture over for a while. Ostoni then came over to inquire about it.
And Ostoni, who had come to Linley’s dormitory, happened to see the stone sculpture that had visited the dormitory.
At this look, Ostoni was stunned.
Ostoni, as a high-level manager of the Proulx Guild Hall, had a very sharp eye, and with a single glance, he recognized that this piece of Linley’s work was definitely one of the pinnacle pieces of stone carving in the stone carving world, and was definitely qualified to be ranked as one of the top ten stone carvings in the stone carving world.
Most importantly, Lin Lei’s stone sculpture was very large, one piece was comparable to five pieces of other people’s works.
Like oil paintings, the price of a stone sculpture was also related to its volume. After all, such a huge volume of work consumes the effort must be much higher, that five consecutive as if real stone figures, has reached the realm of unique soul.
Seeing the stone carvings is like seeing five real-life beauties.
Looking at the entire Yulan continent. Stone carving masters were also extremely rare. And Lin Lei’s stone carving work, has surpassed the general masters, qualified with the history of the peak of so few stone carving masters side by side – such as Proulx, Hopkinson, Hoover.
The work of the stone carvers who are recognized today is indeed very good and has taken on a unique and soul-stirring quality.
However, their works are still slightly inferior to those of Proulx and Hopkinson, who are considered to be masters of the earth. Although just a little difference, but decided the identity of the difference.
The history of stone carving has been hundreds of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years ago, most of the stone carving works have been annihilated with the flow of time. Only a very few special stone works can be passed down to the present. Therefore, nine of the top ten stone carving masters were rated within 100,000 years.
And since the Yulan Empire unified the continent. From the year 001 of the Yulan Calendar to the present day, there were only two that could be ranked alongside their predecessors – Proulx and Hopkinson.
And Hoover. That was the master of 100,000 years ago, a piece of work blood-eyed maned lion, that special material makes this work has been passed down, but also established Hoover’s permanent fame.
It had taken nearly ten thousand years for two stone carving masters to be born. Of course, Proulx is the most powerful one throughout the ages, a person has three works listed in the top ten stone carvings 039 top ten stone carvings masters not everyone has works listed in the top ten stone carvings ground.
This is only a later person assessment, their stone carving works of art level. It is similar to the top ten stone carvings.
A new stone carving master was born. And also just a seventeen-year-old boy!
This was such an appalling thing that it made the Chief Curator of the Proulx Guild rush over from the Dark Alliance’s Proulx Guild.
“There’s no rush. Let’s find a private room in the hotel and talk it over in peace.”
Curator Maia wasn’t in too much of a hurry.
A stone carving patriarch?
Joke!
Ostoni’s vision was good, but stone carving, an art with a long history, required a very sharp eye to fully evaluate. For example, the masterpieces of stone carving and the masterpieces of stone carving. Have reached the point of containing a unique charm, soul.
How to recognize this work, qualified to make a person become a stone carving master. That is an extremely profound study.
In the hotel’s elegant room.
A cup of tea was placed in front of all four, and Curator Maia laughed, “This kid Ostoni saw that piece of Linley’s work, and told me that this piece of work was comparable to the top ten stone carvings, haha, doesn’t that mean that there is a seventeen year old stone carving patriarch?”
Patriarch, representing a status, representing this one art on which he had reached the pinnacle.
And normal people address, they address the master. For example, Master Proulx.
“A stone carving patriarch?”
Yale was a little surprised, “I don’t know if Linley’s stone carvings are that impressive. After all, my vision isn’t high enough either. But I’m sure that Linley’s stone carvings are at least on par with the works in that master’s gallery in your exhibition hall.”
“Oh.”
Curator Maia smiled, “Well, having said that, it’s better to meet it. I wonder where that stone sculpture is, could I see it?”
“Of course.”
Yale said with a smile.
“Little Yale, this stone carving work, even if it doesn’t reach the level of the top ten stone carvings, it’s probably not that bad. How’s your protection, don’t get it stolen.”
Curator Maia reminded.
Yale said confidently, “Uncle Mya don’t worry, now that piece of stone sculpture is placed in the internal secret room of the Waltrip Hotel by me, and there are experts from my Dawson Chamber of Commerce who specialize in protecting it. What’s more, there are still very few people who know about the existence of this stone sculpture.”
“You transferred it to the hotel?”
Ostoni was surprised. The last time he saw it was still in the middle of the dormitory.
Yale bristled to, “I trust my few good brothers, but not you.”
Ostoni couldn’t help but laugh bitterly a few times.
“Uncle Mya, come on, I’ll take you there.”
Yale said enthusiastically.
The Waldry Hotel was actually an industry under the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, which was why the senior staff of the Waldry Hotel knew Yale’s identity.
In the middle of a separate room in the Waldry Hotel, which was wide and had beds inside, there were three experts who had been guarding the place these days.
“Young Master Yale.”
The three rank seven warriors stood up and said respectfully.
Yale smiled and nodded, “Uncle Mya, feel free to look.”
Saying that, Yale lifted the thick cloth on the stone sculpture all of a sudden, revealing such a large stone sculpture, those five beautiful women stone sculptures were exquisite and beautiful, there was the look that caused people to fall in love, there was the cute and innocent look, there was the shy look, there was the passionate and moving look, and there was also the desperate look.
Everything was like a real person.
Looking at these five humanoid stone carvings, Curator Maia’s open mouth just stood there, shocked for a long time.
After a long time ……
“Wonderful, wonderful.”
Only then did Curator Maia come to his senses, “This piece of work is at least a master class work, able to carve out five stone sculptures that look like real people in a row, how much effort does this take? I’m afraid the carving time alone would take a year and a half.”
Curator Maia knew very well that carving was very consuming.
Especially when carving out a stone sculpture, there were even stone carving masters who vomited blood and fainted while carving, and there were even people in history who died in the middle of carving. This work was completely made by vomiting blood ah.
“For a teenager who is only seventeen years old to be able to reach this point is really ……”
Curator Maia didn’t know what to say, he excitedly walked to the stone carving to take a closer look, “Whether or not this stone carving can be compared to the top ten stone carvings, it needs to be scrutinized from all aspects.”
Said Curator Maia as if sticking to the stone sculpture, carefully looking at a grain mark.
