I really don't want to hang up

Dim hut, flickering candles.

In the tailor's shop, sat the most powerful man in the entire Santa Fe neighborhood—Godfather Brando.

"I often have a feeling that everything is going too smoothly, to a certain extent."

The godfather put the cigar aside. He doesn't smoke cigars, but just likes the atmosphere after lighting them.

Without this prop at hand, I always feel that something is missing.

The godfather said firmly,

"In the dark, there is a conspiracy brewing."

A Wu, who was sitting in the corner reading a book, picked out his ears and yawned, obviously not paying much attention to what the other person said.

Luden knocked on the wooden table, trying to attract the other party's attention,

"It's time for you to read your lines."

The atmosphere he created with great difficulty was ruined by A Wu.

"say what?"

Awu raised his head and asked back,
"You think the Church of Knowledge is behind the scenes and they're brewing a storm?"

In the entire Fog City, no, to be precise, in the entire world, there was nothing that could threaten them.

"possible."

Luden nodded slightly, and analyzed seriously,

"They really should be listed on the suspect list. If anyone can add a little fun to life, I mean, make trouble, it must be the existence of Knowledge Church, which is like a villain setting."

Awu sighed helplessly, and held up his spirit to talk to the other party.
"If you really have nothing to do, you can go back to sleep."

Luden said seriously,

"A good hunter will not wait for the prey to appear before attacking."

"it is good."

Awu nodded perfunctorily,
"Then I'll let Phuket go and kill them all."

The world doesn't have many secrets for the immortals.

Who are the people in the Knowledge Church, Awu knows very well.

The reason why the Church of Knowledge was not completely eradicated was because before Luden came, they were somewhat useful.

After Luden came, the Church of Knowledge was useless, but they rarely made trouble.

Especially these years, quietly as if it didn't exist.

"What's the point of that?"

Luden rolled his eyes and said dissatisfiedly,

"You ruined a wonderful counterattack!"

"Good good."

Awu asked patiently,

"Mr. Luden, why do you think that a conspiracy is brewing against you?"

He finally asked the question Luden wanted him to ask.

Luden gave the most accurate answer,
"intuition!"

Awu: .
"Are you sure this intuition has nothing to do with the Earl who has been in the limelight recently?"

Recently, a new earl appeared in Wudu City, with a mysterious background, exquisite appearance, and strong financial resources
Luden shook his head, denying the groundless accusation.

Awu put down the book helplessly, and the shadow of the candle flame danced on the leather cover.

The book is written in the ancient Qiyun language, the author, coincidentally, is also Mr. Luden, and the title of the book is "The Count of Monte Cristo".

The conversation between the two was interrupted by Todd.

"Godfather, Da Vinci wants to see you."

Tonight, the godfather has an appointment.

Otherwise, Awu wouldn't stay up in the middle of the night, chatting here with Luden.

...

He is an immortal, not an eternal night, and he still needs to rest.

Luden put on the mask of the godfather again, nodded and let Da Vinci come in.

Before people came in, a carriage stopped outside the tailor's shop.

"I drew a picture for you, Godfather."

This unassuming painter has a good reputation in the Santa Fe neighborhood, and he seems to be ingenious. It seems that there is nothing he can't do.

Even the sewer renovation project in the Santa Fe neighborhood was handled by painters.

However, very few people know the true gold content of this artist's paintings.

One of his paintings sold for the second highest price in history in Fog City. It has been hotly discussed in the city for half a year, and the heat has not dissipated so far.

As for the first painting in history. It is a sunflower.

The buyer, of course, is Mr. Luden.

Mr. Luden's seldom human brilliance is used in the matter of artworks.

The painter who lost his ears didn't choose the path of tragedy. Of course, he didn't get a huge amount of wealth, he only got enough money for food and clothing.

After all, the consignor of "Sunflower" was also Mr. Luden.

Mr. Luden bought this painting at a sky-high price, just to tell the upper class in the fog city what is a real good thing.

The painter gained a more important wealth-dignity.

He saw firsthand that his paintings were recognized.

Afterwards, no one knew where he went, what he was doing, or whether he still painted.

He should have lived the life he wanted and got everything he wanted.

Da Vinci was able to hide in the city and lead a peaceful life without the help of Brando's godfather.

Over the years, the godfather has not charged him a penny, fulfilled his promise back then, and protected Da Vinci from the interference of the demon Luden.

As long as Da Vinci stays in the Santa Fe neighborhood for a day, he only needs to abide by the sacred code.

In order to repay the godfather, he brought a painting today. Even the silk covering the painting is extremely precious, obviously spending a lot of thought.

This huge oil painting is 9 meters long and 4 meters high. It can only be carefully fixed on a cart, pulled by horses, and transported outside the tailor shop.

The godfather sat behind the candlelight, looking at the oil painting outside the door.

Instead of sending someone to uncover the oil painting first, he asked a question,
"What's the name of this painting?"

Da Vinci replied earnestly,

"Godfather Brando is stroking the cat."

funny name.

The godfather nodded, and Todd stepped out from behind, carefully uncovering the oil painting. At the same time, someone brought a kerosene lamp to dispel the darkness, revealing a corner of the oil painting.

The godfather is facing the door, so there is no way to see the whole oil painting, only a small part in the middle, and that is enough.

This oil painting is about one simple thing: dinner.

To be precise, thirteen people had dinner together.

Sitting in the middle, wearing a classic Shenbang robe, is Mr. Luden.

On the left and right sides, people with different movements and expressions are sitting.

There's Panger, Augustus, Al.
From the perspective of Shenbang, this painting is inevitably somewhat taboo.

The characters appearing above are all famous figures in history.

Bringing these characters together for dinner is nothing in itself.

However, the Mr. Luden in the middle of the portrait looks a bit vicissitudes. Judging by his age, it should not be long since he was stabbed to death by the Senate.

The godfather didn't look at the full picture of the complete painting, but he knew clearly:

Only there is no cat in this painting, and there is no Godfather Brando.

The godfather still sat behind the candlelight, did not get up, looked at Da Vinci, and asked,
"Where's Godfather Brando?"

Da Vinci replied politely,

"Godfather Brando is stroking the cat."
