The entrance to the basement is just a simple staircase.
At the bottom of the ladder was a rickety, broken wooden door that creaked when pushed.
Walk a little further in and you will see another broken wooden door.
An old man who could hardly walk was sitting by the door, holding a thermos cup and drinking tea leisurely.
The old man was holding a cane in his hand and wearing a pair of reading glasses, looking at Principal Cleon.
"Headmaster...you're here."
He spoke hoarsely, and then took out the key from his pocket tremblingly.
Bai Mu pointed at him in disbelief.
Is this the secretary and security guard you mentioned?
Fan also looked confused. He had passed by here several times before and thought it was a storage room or a utility room.
After all, the principal's private collection couldn't possibly be such a dark and cramped place.
I didn’t expect it to be really here!
The big gentleman chuckled,
"This is called the darkest place under the lamp!"
"After all, my private collection cannot be discovered by others, so I only look at it secretly."
"Hey, let's go in and take a look at the masterpiece!"
As he said this, he opened the door with a mysterious look on his face, and then his expression froze.
Take a breath of cold air.
"hiss……"
"No, no, it must be that I opened it the wrong way."
He slowly closed the door and remained pious in his heart.
He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, slowly pushed open the door, and opened his eyes again, stunned.
?
The rest of the people were also curious about what happened.
Even the principal looked dazed.
Bai Mu tilted his head and looked inside, "What's wrong, buddy?"
The paintings inside were all neatly placed on the wall, and the lighting was also very bright.
It seems like there's nothing wrong.
The great gentleman turned his head, two lines of tears already streaming down his face.
"Woo woo woo woo."
He didn't care about his image at all and just sat on the ground and started crying...
Ailian's expression froze.
ah?
Can you imagine a burly man who looks to be over 200 pounds sitting on the ground and crying like a child?
Ailian had never thought about it, but this incident happened so strangely in front of her.
Fanye covered his forehead and said to the two of them, "Forgive me, the principal's temper is just so weird."
Bai Mu shrugged. From the beginning to now, he almost knew what kind of temper this guy had.
"I'm painting, I'm painting, old Thomas, I'm painting?"
The security guard stood up slowly and knocked the principal on the head with his crutch.
With a clang sound!
"You're getting old, Da Vinci!"
"Didn't you just ask Riel to get the painting framed yesterday?"
The old man was also a little angry as he said, "What a shame! Stand up and stop crying!"
Bai Mu looked at it and his mouth twitched.
The relationship between this old man and the principal is really hard to understand.
A security guard hitting the principal on the head?
He shook his head. This school was indeed a bit too abstract.
Sure enough, this is the new Eridu.
The level of cultural tolerance is a bit too inclusive.
Cleon blinked when he heard that, then immediately stood up again, bursting into laughter. "Oh! I remember now!"
“Hahahahahahahahahaha.”
"Sorry, buddy, the best painting has been framed. I guess we can't see it until school starts."
"Just show me some of the tricks first."
He said as he led a few people inside.
Bai Mu was also shocked when he looked at these paintings up close.
These paintings are almost not works by great painters, but what each painting expresses is shocking.
Even paintings from older civilizations have been well preserved.
He looked at a painting in front of him and asked, "Can I touch it?"
When appreciating a painting, touching is generally prohibited.
Cleon: "Of course! Brother, if you like this painting, I will give it to you!"
Bai Mu shook his head. He didn't want this painting.
Rather, I wanted to see the material of the painting. It seemed that the painting materials used by the old civilization were different from those used today.
The painting in front of me is unsigned.
But Bai Mu had never seen the paint on it before.
He was also a little curious about the paint, so he touched it and felt a floury sensation on his hand.
"flour?"
Cleon shook his head. "No, no, no, this pigment is called azurite."
"Legend has it that in ancient civilizations, there was a kind of ultramarine stone. Grinding it into powder and adding vegetable oil to it can create this kind of blue pigment."
"The colors are brilliant, and usually only royalty and nobles would use such decorative paintings."
He also touched the painting in amazement.
What a great thing.
"Unfortunately, in this day and age, there is no azurite anymore, so this pigment has naturally disappeared."
Before Bai Mu could ask, Ai Lian pressed on, “What about Shi Qing?”
Cleon shrugged. "No one would dig deep into a hole just to find a pile of broken rocks."
"Hey, but man, I just happen to have a piece of azurite like this."
He said this with a smile and led everyone forward.
Soon, a large piece of stone did not stand out among the pile of painting materials.
He walked in casually, picked up the stone, and said, "Hey, hey, what do you think, bro, I'm awesome, right?"
"I love showing off. If others don't have it, I must have it."
"Hehehehehe."
He weighed the azurite in his hand and said, "This is azurite. I spent over 300 billion to buy this treasure, but I can't bear to use it as a pigment."
