VOL.13, SAINTS' MEETING
"Well, let's leave it here."
As she spoke, Marda held the statue in her hand, which was almost a head taller than her entire body, in the middle of the room.
It was a statue of an angel.
Magicians have little religious affiliation, and they themselves belong to the occult realm, and do not believe in religious gods, but only in gods they identify. It's like people who produce a certain processed food don't eat what they make because they know exactly what they're adding to it.
So, in the Chaldees, there were very few Christians.
Naturally, there are also very few statues of angels about Christianity.
The one that Marda brought was obtained from Emperor Nero.
According to His Majesty, it seems that there was a flash of inspiration in his mind, and an infinite idea emerged, wanting to carve a winged self, [Venus Nero] in the name of the god of beauty Venus, but we all know that inspiration is not long-lasting.
Therefore, His Majesty Nero has just chosen the stone and has just begun to carve a rough shape, but he can't figure out what the so-called Venus Nero is, so he will put it on hold indefinitely.
Hearing that Marda wanted to use it, he was uninspired, and His Majesty the Emperor, who was hot for three minutes, generously rewarded her with this statue.
I polish the part of the face a little and blur it a little, and it can be used, too.
After all, religious gods are all formless. In the religious paintings we see on weekdays, there is an angel in the pen of a painter, which is not considered blasphemy.
"Hmm...... Say it is the words of the angels...... I always feel like something is missing, but it's just for other people. Those of us who are devout in faith will not be shaken by such a small problem. The Lord is honored with all his heart. This external formality is harmless. ”
Jorcos held his chin with one hand, and when he looked left and right, he felt that the angel statue was not very pleasing to the eye, but he quickly accepted it calmly. At times like these, it's better to have a vague symbol than nothing. Otherwise, the main hall is empty, which is too strange.
"I'm sorry, Lord Marda, as a servant, I emphasize more on the defense and durability side, and muscle strength is really not my area of expertise."
Joljos apologized to Marda, who was patting off the dust on her hands, Marda was stunned, her face turned red, and she hurriedly said: "Ahahaha, say, what are you talking about, Your Excellency Joljos, I'm just an ordinary woman, hahaha." It's only because of the servant that it can be moved. We are all the same in terms of strength D! ”
Marda's prevarication only made St. George smile slightly, noncommittal.
"Well, that's good, with the layout, it should be pretty much the same, right?"
Joan of Arc on the side, with a quiet smile on her face, piled up flowers and plants that she didn't know where to find them, and laid out a passageway.
Although it is an ordinary room with nothing special, after the careful arrangement of the three of them, it finally has a little appearance.
As mentioned many times before, Chaldea now has a lot of empty rooms because of casualties.
So the three of them had a whim, and came up with a brilliant idea: anyway, the room that no one used was idle, so why not use it?
It just so happens that all three of them are Christian saints, and there are well-known Christian believers all over the world, so why not make a church with your own hands?
Speaking of a church, the concept is too grandiose, and the space created by the three of them is too shabby. For example, it's similar to the feeling of a club at school, but it simply has a look.
So, they brought in angelic statues, arranged flowers and plants, and added three layers of partitions to the wardrobe in the corner, which was used as a bookshelf for storing classics, and on top of them were some books that recorded the words and deeds of the Lord.
Looking at it this way, it looks like it!
As the saying goes, the mountains are not high, there are immortals, and there are spirits.
The room is just an ordinary decoration, but here are the world's famous three saints, and it has naturally become holy.
On the sign at the door, St. George wrote the words "Saints' Society" in a free and easy pen, and this is the place where the three of them will meet from time to time in the future.
The work of more than 400 people in the Chaldees, if it is backlogged on dozens of people, it will definitely cause mental pressure. Therefore, it also serves as a confessional room, a chapel, and even a spiritual shelter.
The three of them were busy for a while, and finally made this chapel-like place.
Looking at the small space that I have obtained after my hard work, a sense of fulfillment wells up in my heart, and then I feel pride and pride. It's really pleasant. There is a sense of joy that all of your efforts have been rewarded.
Now there is a patient who needs to be cured.
However, the last thing that Chaldea lacks is people with different personalities, or in other words, people with mild or severe mental problems.
For example, Caster Guildre......
This person who followed Joan of Arc to the Chaldea moved Joan of Arc, but at the same time, it also made her feel troubled from the bottom of her heart.
(It became like that.) A past that has been doomed cannot be overturned. Now the only way to pray for the salvation of his soul is ...... )
The thought of him made Joan of Arc's heart hurt immensely.
Although that man was not a wise leader or a good marshal, at least, he was a person who was willing to support his village girl to raise an army to save France, and he was a person who firmly believed that he could save France. Such a partner has fallen into such a situation...... It's really embarrassing.
If he can come here to worship and enlighten him, I can't say it............
Joan of Arc quickly dismissed the idea.
Judging by Guildre's appearance, it must be impossible to convert him through words and prayers.
The Servant, in particular, responds to the summons in the form of a Heroic Spirit. It's like putting makeup on a figure in a mirror, no matter how beautiful it is, it can't change its appearance.
Another person who needs this place in particular......
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the three people present had a bottom in their hearts.
That's the man in Chaldea who is most like a monster, the most like a demon.
Piercing Vlad III, the original form of the vampire Dracula, the man who is full of murderous karma.
Responding to the call as a Berserker, he is a vampire in the truest sense of the word.
It can be said that the realm of this pure religion should be the same place as his sworn enemy. Well, maybe he won't come, right?
Although he is a vampire, he is willing to listen to the orders of Fujimaru Rika for the sake of people, so to speak, he is the kind of monster who can communicate...... Let's put it aside.
————————————————
In the evening, the Saints' Association also temporarily suspended its activities, and the three saints each returned to their own rooms to deal with their own affairs, after all, except for Marda, among the three, they all had just come to Chaldea, so the room had to be arranged according to their own wishes to be comfortable!
There was silence, and along the door of the Church of the Saints, black smoke came in through the cracks. The heavy smoke converged into a man's posture, tall and thin.
He didn't say anything, just looked around.
As if there were lice in his clothes, he twisted his shoulders and body uncomfortably, endured the itching sensation, and the room without the light was dark, and he blended into the darkness, walked up to the angelic statue, folded his hands, and bowed to it for a week.
Even though he is rumored to be a demon, even if he has been infected with the power of a vampire because of his summoning form, his essence is that of the proud Romanian monarch, the noble warrior known as the shield of Christ.
What is he praying to?
He didn't say, and no one asked.
Perhaps the Lord.
That's what he once believed.
Or is it his past?
Offer prayers to your once noble self.
He saluted silently, then left the room in silence.
Since then, Vlad III has never been in this room again.
As a vampire, he knew very well that he had nothing to do with this holy realm.
PS: The historical Vlad III converted to Catholicism, originally an Orthodox Christian. However, both Orthodox and Catholic Christianity are branches of Christianity. Joan of Arc, by the way, is a saint of Catholicism.
