As a lucky place for the Renaissance, Florence has always been known as the capital of art. Walking in the streets and alleys of Florence, an unexpected room may be the former residence of a medieval master of art. Perhaps a world-famous painting is hung in a dilapidated house. Anyone who walks into such a house can enjoy the masterpieces of art masters hundreds of years ago from close range. For Florentines, putting these precious paintings that should have been kept carefully in museums is like ordinary objects. It is the place they are proud of, even if this pride will cause some trouble.

The large area west of Florence's Lords Square is the old city and the slums of the past. Perhaps it is precisely because the people living here are all poor people, so in the catastrophes encountered in Florence, the buildings in this area have not suffered much damage and have been preserved almost intact. Today, it has become the entire Florence ancient building city.

Because this urban area is close to the Arno River, the scenery along the river is very good. After World War II, many wealthy people from Europe bought houses and land in this urban area and repaired and renovated the ancient buildings here, which made this slump urban area unworthy of its name.

Most people transform the buildings here into resort hotels and private villas, but some people seem to have fallen into the past because of the ancient atmosphere around them, and they transformed the buildings here into a museum of classical art. The Bronte Museum of Art is one of them, and one of the most famous museums of classical art in this city. It not only collects paintings or statues of classical masters such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, but also contains manuscripts of medieval art masters and sculptures of masters with strong religious colors. Even a world-renowned large museum like the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, sometimes it also needs to borrow some exhibits from here to make up for the shortcomings in their own exhibits.

As the name of this museum shows, the creator of the museum is Bronte. According to the information provided by him, he was a descendant of aristocrats who were exiled overseas during the French Revolution. He was born in Florence. When he was young, he went to the United States with his mother because of World War I. During World War II, he made a considerable amount of war money. Because of his love for art and his beautiful memory of Florence when he was young, he decided to give up everything in the United States, return to the birthplace of Florence, and create a truly private museum.

At the beginning, the Florentines did not care too much about this museum. After all, there were countless private museums in Florence as a private or private company, and this Bronte was just one of them. The Florentines did not think that such a private museum would be great. After all, without strong financial support behind the museum, there would probably be no outstanding exhibits in the museum. Although Bronte is a rich man, it is obviously difficult to support a private museum with his current financial resources.

However, what is unexpected is that Mr. Bronte was able to bring in several large donations from several European and American groups, instantly making up for the museum's financial shortcomings. He then took action in several large-scale auctions and private auctions in Europe and the United States, and acquired more than a dozen calligraphy, paintings and manuscripts that are precious even in various museums in Florence, which ultimately made this museum the largest private museum in Florence.

The Brontë Museum is a residential museum commonly found in private museums. The buildings near the street are the main body of the museum, while the houses near the Arnold River are the private residences and cultural relics restoration sites of Mr. Brontë.

Every evening, Mr. Bronte would stand on the balcony of his residence and watch the sunset of the Arno River. For this reason, he also specially painted a series of oil paintings on the Arno River's December sunset. Although his paintings can only be considered ordinary in the eyes of real oil painting connoisseurs, his paintings are only ordinary, but because of the convenience of the director of a private museum, he can hang these ordinary oil paintings next to the paintings of the art master, so that those who come here can enjoy his own works while watching the master's paintings.

Mr. Bronte's behavior made Florentine artists extremely angry, believing that his poor paintings were placed next to the master's paintings, an insult to the Renaissance masters. For this reason, they had formed several willingness to ask Mr. Bronte to remove his paintings, and even use the official Florentine relationship. However, it was useless. Mr. Bronte returned any request on the grounds of a private museum, and even directly stated to the Florentine Municipal Government that if the municipal government continued to put pressure on him, he would transfer the private museum to other Italian cities.

It was precisely because of Mr. Bronte's tough attitude that the matter ended up in the end. However, the only one who gave up was the Florence Municipal Government. Many Florence artists still did not give up on the idea of ​​removing Bronte's ugly paintings from the master's paintings. So they came up with a bad idea to find thieves to steal the ugly paintings.

The normal identity of the Frenchman Campbell is very ordinary. He is a wandering artist and a well-known painter. He often wanders among art museums around the world. But in fact, he is a very famous art thief in the world. Because he likes to wear a black hat when committing crimes, he has the nickname of a black hat in various intelligence organizations.

However, in addition to the identities of painters, art thieves, Campbell also has a less normal identity, he is a superpower. His ability is very simple to invisible. This invisible ability is not only targeting himself, but also to make all the things he touches become invisible through touch. With this ability, he can easily steal every piece of art he likes from those closely guarded museums.

Originally, Campbell came to Italy this time for the Milan incident. Although his ability does not have too strong positive power, if he uses it well, he can still take advantage of the situation and gain something even more.

However, the subsequent incident scared Campbell. The warning letter from Vera, the new elder of the Oliver family, was sent to him without knowing it. The extremely obvious threatening words in the warning letter made him worried. Then, he was originally going to observe the situation and was frightened by the thundering methods of Vera and others. A large number of supernatural 6 Su, who seemed extremely powerful to him, were assassinated. One of them even died not far from him, and a chill rushed from his spine to his heart, causing the greed in his heart to cool down instantly.

Like other psychics, before Vera issued her second warning, Campbell and other frightened psychics all escaped and left Milan City. What's different from other psychics is that other psychics still maintain a little hope for fishing in troubled waters, while Campbell has no hope at all. After leaving Milan City, he took the train to Florence as soon as possible.

Campbell, who was originally planning to take this opportunity to relax, unexpectedly met a former customer who had a job on hand, which was to steal and destroy those paintings of Brontë.

Although the reward for this job was not much, after all, the artists who organized this matter had no money, Campbell himself was also an artist and was extremely disdainful and disgusted with Bronte's behavior. Even though the reward for the deal was not his wish, he quickly made a decision to take on the job.

After taking this trip, Campbell did not rush to inspect the scene like other art thieves, designate theft plan and leave plan, etc. He came across like an ordinary tourist and was traveling between various attractions in Florence, and even had an exotic encounter.

It was not until the day before the completion date of the task agreed with the employer that Campbell slowly walked into his target location with a tour group, and quietly finished reading some other exhibits in the museum with others, and finally came to the room with the works of the Renaissance master and the twelve annoying paintings.

Campbell has long heard of these twelve ugly sunset paintings, but this is actually the first time he has seen these twelve paintings. With his appreciation, it is not difficult to see that these sunset oil paintings are very average. They may be good in ordinary galleries, but they are placed next to the master's works, which makes them look extremely annoying, just like a dead fly floating on white milk.

However, after completely denying these twelve paintings through artistic perspectives at first glance, Campbell suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling, feeling an inexplicable feeling of sadness, pain, regret, etc., and the reason why he developed this emotion was that these twelve paintings looked ugly and ordinary.

As a thief of art, Campbell has world-class appreciation ability. He knows very well that this sudden feeling comes from the resonance between him and these twelve paintings. The paintings that made him feel resonant in the past are all master-level works without exception.

"Is there something hidden in this painting?" Campbell, who was originally going to leave with others, returned to the twelve paintings, looked at the ugly oil paintings in front of him with a puzzled look, and muttered to himself.

In the past, Campbell had encountered something similar to paintings in paintings. Because of World War II, some people passed down some master works, but were worried that these works would be taken away for various reasons, so they drew another painting on these works, and saved the paintings through this method of concealing the moment. Until the time is stable, the oil paint on the surface will be hung up and the master works will be taken out again.

But often things go against your wishes, and many people die in war, and these disguised master works were sold at a low price because of the ignorance of their children and descendants, and eventually fell into the hands of people who knew about the goods like Campbell. (To be continued.)8
