Dumartin was the fastest at viewing the paintings. He was not looking for any secrets, merely glancing through them before moving on. After finishing, he walked over to Angel's side. Rather than asking about the paintings themselves, he spoke of his earlier conversation with Rhein with a complicated expression. "I went to take a look at Tidewave Garden. There really is a water-element creature there, but..."
"It can't be obtained." Dumartin sighed softly, his expression difficult to describe in a single word.
It was not that Lord Rhein was unwilling to give it away. Rather, when Dumartin arrived at Tidewave Garden, he found that Woodleaf Rose Nian Night Sylvie, 'Old White' Wallace, and the Tree Spirit Lord were all inside. Moreover, the three of them were solemnly gathered around a flying fish creature, studying it.
That flying fish was precisely the only elemental creature in Tidewave Garden.
Seeing their demeanor, Dumartin understood that there was no way he could ask for it, so he decisively gave up.
"Then all I can do is see whether I'm lucky enough to encounter a suitable elemental creature," Angel replied.
Dumartin nodded, but he did not believe in the slightest that Angel would be lucky enough to encounter a wild elemental creature. In his view, they could only wait until Angel returned to Savage Cave and obtain more login devices from him before they could study transcendent creatures.
As they spoke, Rhein and Iron Armor Granny were still admiring the oil paintings one by one.
With their ability to analyze information, they could decipher much of what lay within and beyond a painting with a single glance. For instance, from a winter forest painting, they could grasp the details and combine them with the season, vegetation, biodiversity, and even the direction of the wind
