Chapter 43: The Feast
Act-43
After appeasing Bei Bo and them, Jiang Tian also ate and drank to his heart's content, and returned to the room to sleep and recuperate.
When I woke up, it was noon.
Coincidentally, at noon, the messenger sent by the Pope also happened to register and verify the identity information of all the crew members.
All the crew members of the Tirias, led by the messenger, walked together into the second most luxurious building on the island of Norven, the Palace of Saint Versailles.
According to the captain, the first luxurious building was the underwater temple that only a few people had entered.
However, the Palace of Saint-Versailles is only second to the island of Novon, but its luxury is not inferior to that of the royal palaces of other countries. And Lieutenant General Karp, who was eating and drinking, also said that this temple was not much worse than where Mary Joa's world nobles lived.
The white marble walls along the road are carved with biblical stories, from the Tree of Life to the Serpent of Akaxia, from Yahweh to the Holy Angels, almost every five steps to a fresco, ten steps to a relief.
The large natural colored crystal windows embedded in the main lighting points of the walls record the mysteries that appear on the island of Norwen.
The so-called mystical is full of theological mysteries.
Acting as a narrator along the way, the talkative captain was dumbfounded when he saw the window.
Although he had heard of the crystal window that could bring cleansing to people's hearts, and heard the story of someone who repented under the window and received an epiphany of divine enlightenment, it was better to see than to hear, and when he really saw it, he realized how pale all his words were in the face of it.
Jiang Tian doesn't have as much psychological pressure as him, but he just thinks that this painting is full of bells and whistles, and there is a bit of abstract art in it. If he goes to the auction, he will definitely be able to sell it for a high price in the hands of the brick family or the local tyrants, but if he is allowed to buy it, he will definitely not buy it.
Karp next to him is even more coarse, if he is asked to say donuts and senbei, he can say three days and three nights, if he is asked to talk about art, he ...... Maybe to say, art is an explosion......??
Through the marble-walled corridors, the crew of the Tilias reached the main hall of the Palace of Saint-Versailles.
Straight into the eye, it was the Pope sitting on the luxurious golden chair, but this Pope didn't seem to be well-rested and listless, he supported his head with both hands, as if only in this way could he keep his head from falling off his neck.
A few steps down from the pontifical platform, twelve white-robed bishops and priests stood side by side, and down there were twelve golden knights of the Temple.
The bishops and priests were a little worried, they all looked at the sleepy Pope on the stage, and wanted to open their mouths to warn him, but after whispering to him a few times, the Pope still did not react, but drooled.
The Templars slashed their swords in their hands and swept their eyes over the crew of the Tirias. If there is a situation, it means to pick up a knife and cut people.
The atmosphere was deadlocked.
The Pope was half-asleep, and his consciousness did not know where the fugue had gone.
However, the people in the audience thought that the Pope was communicating with the angelic gods in the morning, and they didn't even dare to speak, for fear of disturbing the Pope.
"The crew of the Tirias, the Pope is receiving the revelation brought by you, and I beg your forgiveness for not being able to receive you for the time being. But now, the banquet is ready, please follow me to the backyard to enjoy the food. ”
At the critical moment, it was this messenger who stood up, it is said that he was the Pope's own confidant, although he did not undertake the priesthood of the knight, but because of his cleverness and meticulousness, he was deeply loved by the Pope.
The crew of the Tirias did not know why, but since the messenger had given them a step down, they simply left with them.
After everyone had left, the tall and thin bishop closest to the Pope hurriedly climbed a few high steps to the Pope, who was snoring slightly.
He leaned down and shouted in the ear of the Pope: "The Holy Daughter of Hephaestus is unconscious again!" ”
The Pope, who was still dating the daughter of Duke Zhou, suddenly stared at him like a copper bell, he glanced left and right, seemed to determine his current position, and hurriedly stood up, galloping in one direction without looking back.
"Your Holiness the Pope is still so energetic." The tall and thin bishop sighed with emotion, and followed behind the Pope, helplessly going in that direction.
On the other side, the crew of the Tirias, who followed the messenger, also came to the main venue of the banquet - the Babylon Garden!
Unlike the back gardens of other palaces, the Babylonian Gardens are built on the palace side, from the first floor to the top floor, each floor has a platform for viewing and playing, and a special water supply facility, and each floor has a different type of flower.
The venue of today's banquet is the Babylon Garden, commonly known as the seventh floor of the Hanging Garden.
The seventh floor is the top floor of the Palace of Saint-Versailles, and the flower species on this floor is peony, which means nobility and auspiciousness. The holding of a banquet on this floor is also enough to show that the Norvin Island side attaches great importance to the crew of the Tirias.
As the signature of the hanging garden, the peony here is delicate and full, the petals are overlapping, and the flower colors are innumerable, including golden, purple, red, and death Barbie pink......
A breeze blew, wafting the aroma of flowers and wine, meat and food. Intertwined and mixed together, it seems that the meat has also changed to the flavor of peonies, and the flowers are also used as wine.
Jiang Tian sniffled, feeling itchy in his nose, he had some pollen allergies, but it was not serious, it was a complication of mild obsessive-compulsive disorder.
After half a morning of recuperation, the injuries in his body had already healed, and Jiang Tian was also surprised to find that the second action, which had been difficult to grasp, was now very smooth.
It seems that he has comprehended the ape power. Instantaneous step means that you have completed the advanced task and achieved the entry requirements of the second action.
The first action is to imitate the ape to exercise and improve the body, and the second action looks a bit like a big and three thick bear, if nothing else, it should also be by imitating the bear to enhance their physical ability.
Speaking of bears, though......
Jiang Tian couldn't help but set his eyes on Bei Bo, who was eating Haisai, thinking about what powerful points he could get from him.
Could it be...... Selling cute?
Jiang Tian shook his head and threw this terrible thought out of his mind. He began to take a serious look at the crew of the Tirias, who had never been out of deck except for the first few days when he admired the figure of a few young ladies and killed a pirate. Not enough is known about the passengers on the Tirias.
It is only now that I have the time and energy to observe the passengers on the ship.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's shocking to see it!
In addition to the captain's old acquaintance, he actually saw a very familiar person.
It's just that Jiang Tian is not sure if this familiar person is the one he knows. If that's the case, he'll have to plan it out.
Seeing that the acquaintance turned his gaze to him, Jiang Tian glanced at him indifferently, and generously showed him a kind smile.
