Although he found it a bit ridiculous to hear his sister plotting loudly to get rid of the housekeeper he hired.
But if Christina really wanted to do this, he wouldn't stop her too much.
As long as Rocky agrees, then he doesn't care.
After all, Kyle had already discovered that people like Rocky should not be able to spend fifty thousand pounds to hire a housekeeper for five years.
Meeting Rocky can only be said to be the fate of the Baptiste family and Rocky.
Giving Rocky his freedom back might as well be a good thing.
"This butler is mysterious. He didn't want to stay with us on purpose today."
Christina looked at the entire Saint Silver Vine Hall.
She doubted that Rocky was here today because Rocky had entrusted her to take care of the little black cat for a day.
"Meow, meow."
The cat boss sat aside and pretended to be an ordinary cat.
In the first round of assessment, Ranchi gave it to Countess Rosalinda for trust.
It waited until Tata finished the exam and then went to find Tata.
Later, Lan Qi, who was working, brought him to Tianyu Hall during the second round of assessment, and he fell in love with this luxurious branch.
So today, at the request of the cat owner, it was placed by Lanqi in the Baptiste family.
The final round of assessment [artistic quality] of the platinum-level card maker exam has been mostly completed.
All the candidates are taking the exam questions in the film world, and some candidates are gradually completing and submitting their works.
This round of test questions is very concise and clear——
After completing a work of art portrait, excluding the basic score for Artificial Film World assessment, the remaining scores will be assessed by the examiner.
Christina looked at the screen.
As the final assessment today, it was quieter than any previous one.
On the holographic projection screen, each candidate in the Platinum Palace simulated by the artificial shadow world belongs to an area, and they can carry out their own creations without interfering with each other.
The screen moves and switches in the Platinum Palace from time to time.
In the wide central hall, the first sight is occupied by the huge stalactite vault. The extremely gorgeous plaster reliefs shine under the light. The angel reliefs above dance lightly, as if they are about to fly out of the gypsum bushes. The dome The stained glass mosaic in the center is a dazzling pearl, imprinting colorful light beams on the marble floor.
On both sides stand two seven-meter-tall sphinxes fighting mercilessly against each other. They are the epic statues "Fighting Lion" and "Victory Lion".
Going up the stone stairs, the majestic Corridor of Reason and Corridor of Prosperity unfold.
In the left-wing Parieux Square, there is a fountain with a statue of the God of Will and Love in the center of the square. The statue is sparkling with drops of water, as if it is inlaid with countless expensive gems.
In every open space, candidates sit quietly, surrounded by flat, round, and flat brushes, completing their paintings.
This round of examination questions turned into ancient words and appeared on the walls of this art gallery.
[Theme: Self-portrait]
[Every candidate can freely use mirrors in the Artificial Shadow World]
[Once completed, you can submit your work to the examiner. 】
[The venue and prism themselves are not themes and do not need to be processed]
【…】
Everything you see comes to mind with strong outlines.
Many gold-level card makers frowned.
Outside the artificial shadow world.
"Isn't the self-portrait question the easiest?"
Christina in the audience asked Kyle.
Her brother Kyle is someone who knows a little bit about art, and he was also a failed student at the Parrieux University of Arts at that time. But Butler Rocky is even better, and he should have been a successful student at one time.
“Self-portrait is both pure and difficult because it involves both technical challenges and deep self-exploration.”
Kyle carefully looked at the gold-level card maker's works that were constantly changing on the giant screen, tilted his head to Christina and explained,
“First there are the most basic technical challenges.”
On a technical level, self-portrait requires the artist's ability to accurately capture and reproduce his or her own facial features, requiring not only superb painting skills but also a deep understanding of light and shadow, proportion and composition.
Unlike drawing other people, when an artist draws a self-portrait, the subject of observation is his own face, and the perspective often changes when painting, which makes the creation much more difficult.
"Secondly there are issues of emotional honesty and self-reflection, choices of self-presentation, the tension between public and private, etc. Strictly speaking, self-portraits may be more difficult than painting others."
Kyle explained to Christina why many experienced gold-level card makers in the artificial shadow world fell into deep thought.
Since ancient times, many painters have created self-portraits. Among these portraits are works that symbolize the authority of the artist. There are also painters who cannot afford to hire models and simply paint by themselves.
No matter what, many works that have been handed down from generation to generation were produced.
It can also be said to reflect the artist himself at the moment of painting.
soon.
There was a burst of discussion in Tianyu Hall.
It seems that a gold-level card maker went to the examiner's room to submit a painting.
on the screen.
In the conference hall where the two examiners and the assistant of the Card Makers Association were sitting, a young magic craftsman who was tall and straight, with firm features and long hair tied into a ponytail came into the hall with a painting.
Eskar, a new star magic craftsman from a small country, is dressed in simple black craftsman clothes, with a tool belt around his waist, and his right arm is a smart prosthesis he invented. He is standing in front of a long table waiting.
The examiner wearing a silver mask was holding his chin and sitting on the main seat admiring the work.
Countess Rosalinda, the deputy examiner, also watched quietly.
Although she is also painting, she is in a quite leisurely state and can stop at any time.
This self-portrait of Eskar is composed of a collage of various irregular geometric shapes, with bright colors and strong contrast.
In the collaged geometry, you can see the outlines of some parts, as if depicting a mechanized character.
The overall effect gives the reviewer a visual impact of bursting power and vitality, and one can feel the magic craftsman's passion for technology and innovation.

"The painting techniques of Cubism and Futurism are used, which is not bad."
The mysterious examiner commented and entered the scores for each item.
In the first round of the exam, he was sweating profusely as the deputy examiner, but now in the third round of the exam, as the chief examiner, he seemed particularly calm.
This time the exam includes six dimensions: technical ability, creativity and originality, expressiveness and theme fit, overall completion of the work, divine nature, and magic foundation. There are six dimensions in total to calculate the total score.
Based on the self-portrait of Loggins given by the proposition team of the Western Hub Card Creators Association Headquarters.
Set his work at 95 points and use it as a reference to score the works of other candidates.
Countess Rosalinda glanced at Ranchi's score.
The final average was 82.
Her eyelids twitched twice.
Rosalinda looked at it all the way and felt that Lan Qi’s score was too high.
According to Rosalinda's opinion, the most she dared to give was 70.
Although the final passing line for the candidates will be determined by the score that Ranchi gave her for Rosalinda's painting, any score that exceeds her, as the deputy examiner, will be considered qualified.
But every student's score was higher, which showed that Lan Qi did not give Logins any face.
Because the better Loggins’ work is compared to the reference object, the higher the score will be.
This in turn shows that Loggins’ paintings are not very good.
Rosalinda felt that Loggins was indeed a bit like a rich second generation who likes to show off his works and insist on being praised by others, but most people would not offend Loggins.
Rosalinda felt very happy that Lan Qi was doing this, but she was also a little worried that Loggins was going to be red.
"..."
Loggins didn't speak for a long time.
Rosalinda could feel the sullen expression on Loggins' eyebrows through the screen.
Loggins' painting itself is not bad, and it is considered acceptable for the sacred level.
The picture is in a blurry study room. Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window is the vast ice field. The sky and the earth are covered with white snow. Loggins's figure seems to be in this room and blended into the vast white snow. , a pair of eyes like ice condensed, with a bit of arrogance in the coldness that refuses people thousands of miles away and looks down upon the world.

Different from paintings that are made on the spot for a few hours, Loggins's painting was prepared and produced for a period of time before the exam, and was used to submit to the exam team.
The degree of completion will be much higher than what most candidates can achieve in the examination room.
During these few hours on site, it was almost impossible to create a painting that could surpass the one created in advance by an active platinum-level card maker.
Therefore, according to previous practice, there will basically be no scores above 95 in the four examination areas.
Of course, the qualification does not need to be this high.
You only need to have a higher score than the work created on the spot by the deputy examiner Countess Rosalinda under this examination question to pass.
