The Beginning of Panlong: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 79 Master Philippa

Chiyan City, Proulx Guild Hall, Expert Exhibition Hall.

The name hanging outside this exhibition hall is "Hurley Philippa", which belongs to the exhibition hall of a stone carving master.

In her personal stone sculpture exhibition hall, the various stone sculptures are very interesting.

Her stone carvings are very unique and very small in size.

They are all small stone sculptures that are only slightly larger than a human hand. The price of the signs is also very cheap. The most expensive one does not exceed one hundred gold coins.

Of course, this is also normal.

The larger the stone sculpture, the more energy the stone carver spends.

The famous stone sculpture, Master Hoover's "Blood-Eyed Mane Lion", the first of the top ten stone sculptures, is almost the same size as the real Holy World Warcraft Blood-Eyed Mane Lion.

It's big, that's why it's expensive.

Ultra-small stone sculptures are naturally much cheaper than ordinary stone sculptures.

It is normal for stone sculptures that are only one-tenth of the height to be ten times cheaper.

This master of stone carving did the opposite and started carving ultra-small stone carvings, which was quite interesting.

Even in Hogg's view, this is a unique approach. After all, it is difficult to get rid of traditional thinking patterns.

Hogg saw his wife Lina admiring one of the small stone sculptures.

This stone carving is similar to the posture of a girl. The girl is frowning and looks very cute. However, she has two pairs of dragonfly wings on her back, which makes her even more unique.

"Flower fairy? Elf? It can't be Dingdang anyway, right?" Hogg secretly laughed, "It's more of a figure than a stone sculpture."

Although the Panlong Universe is a fantasy world, the only intelligent race that is not a high-level monster is humans.

However, there are many planes in this universe, and some common creatures in other material planes have long existed in the artistic works of Magnolia Continent.

Such as orcs, elves, and draconians. . .Of course, the flower fairy is also a very common character.

However, stone sculptures are generally large and medium-sized, such as figure-level stone sculptures that are slightly larger than a human palm. .It's quite strange.

The name of this stone sculpture is "Flower Fairy". It seems that the carving technique is exquisite and it is small and exquisite.

Linna obviously likes this stone sculpture very much.

The price tag below this stone sculpture is sixty gold coins.

However, this price is not the final price.

Even the stone sculptures in ordinary exhibition halls are actually similar to an auction system. People can bid for them within a month of visiting, and they will eventually be sold to the highest bidder.

As for stone carving masters, the principle is the same, but the period for displaying their stone carvings is based on years.If enthusiasts want to buy it, they will generally offer a very high price and then negotiate with each other.

"Lina, since you want to buy it, let's offer a high price." Hogg smiled slightly, "If you mark this small statue at 160 gold coins, you should be able to buy it."

"This stone sculpture is indeed very interesting. The details are very delicate. Although there are a few places that are a little unnatural, it is still worth the price..."

"Haha, you are not ashamed of your words." A majestic voice sounded from behind Hogg, who was also a visiting guest.

But this person’s appearance. . .Hogg is a little weird.

A strong man with a reflective head, a height of over [-] meters, and a green ax on his back.

Hearing Hogg's comment, the strong man was very dissatisfied, "This is so small... How can Master Hurley's stone sculpture be so unnatural as you said?"

Hogg glanced at the strong man strangely, for some reason. .He felt that this strong man had some similarities with his own temperament, "This stone carving is good, but if there is no unnaturalness at all, ordinary stone carving masters cannot do it."

"Look here... here... and here. These three details are indeed very delicate and well-handled. But they are obviously inconsistent with the real structure... Of course, we in Magnolia Continent do not have real flowers. It's from a fairy, so it can't be said that it's wrong to carve it like this." Hogg said calmly, "But it will cause damage to the overall shape of the stone carving technique." After Hogg opened his mouth, the strong man was silent for a moment.

He thought it was a person who knew little about stone carving who was talking nonsense to him. .The Honorable Ms. Hurley’s Stone Sculpture Commentary.

But as soon as Hogg spoke, the strong man knew that the other party was also an expert. Even if he was not a master of stone carving, he must be a senior stone carving enthusiast.

Otherwise, some of the problems will not be seen at a glance.

Thinking of this, the strong man's original expression became much better, and he nodded slightly to Hogg, "What you said is not bad, but... after all, Flower Fairy, I have only heard of such existence in other planes. Our plane doesn’t have it, and we can only rely on our imagination to make up for some details. So the detailed structure problem you mentioned is not actually a problem.”

"You're right." Hogg nodded and did not argue. He accompanied his wife Lina to mark the prices of several relatively perfect stone sculptures in the exhibition hall.

It is normal to have some defects in stone sculptures. Since his wife likes it, he will buy it.

With his reputation as a stone carving master, it was much easier for him to "launder money". He also had a lot of gold coins in his hand, so he had enough money to buy some stone carvings.

Of course, he has set a price, but the other party may not be willing to sell it. This needs to be negotiated between the two parties.

Moreover, there are dozens of expert exhibition halls in this guild hall.

Hogg planned to go to the master's exhibition hall to have a look after seeing them one by one.

Just looking at the stone carvings in these masters' exhibition halls, he found that there were obvious differences in regional styles between the stone carvings of the O'Brien Empire and the stone carvings of the Holy Alliance.

More rough, the carvings are as sharp as axes and knives, but they have a special style.

Hogg now also wants to see the works of this local stone carving master.

However, before he could walk out of the expert exhibition hall, a figure hurriedly walked into the exhibition hall.

Curator Terrence's eyes lit up when he saw Hogg and the bald man.

"Master Philippa... this one must be Master Hogg from the Holy Alliance... I didn't expect you to know each other."

"???"

"???"

Both of them were a little surprised.

Hogg did not expect that this strong man who looked like a rough warrior was actually a master of stone carving.After all, the other party specifically addressed someone as "Master" in the Proulx Guild Hall, so there was no doubt that he was referring to the master of stone carving.

As for this strong man, Master Philippa, he also did not expect that Hogg was actually the rumored new master of the Holy Alliance.

The social status of a stone carving master is still very high. Although a new stone carving master is still somewhat controversial, he is still a very respected person.

There are only twenty or thirty stone carving masters in the entire Magnolia Continent, and each one of them is considered a great person.

Two master stone carvers meet. . .In fact, it is a relatively rare thing.In particular, the reason why Hogg came to the O'Brien Empire was to "exchange stone carving skills."

Some of the true core skills of stone carving masters can only be passed on to disciples, but some concepts are very suitable for communication with people of the same level.

Of course, not now.

Not to mention that it is a chance encounter now, Master Philippa has some things to do later.

Moreover, exchanges between stone carving masters are usually organized by the Proulx Hall.

This high-level exchange usually needs to be widely publicized, and there will also be a group of stone carving masters and stone carving enthusiasts holding notebooks to study seriously.

The two now only officially exchanged names and got to know each other, and then Master Philippa said goodbye and left.

Curator Terrence invited Hogg to sit in his office.
