Chapter 1298: Toy
In the mythological epic of the Guartes, the god of all gods, the king of the gods and the first son of the gods, born to the queen of gods, was born with a miracle, he hid the sun in one eye and the moon in the other.
From the moment he fell to the ground, the world of day and night, black and white, had the sun and moon, and there were also changes in day and night.
Seeing this, the god-king and the god-queen named the eldest son, who was born to control the sun, moon and stars, and changed black and white, "Klora Toi", which means "holding the stars in his hands".
In the epic poems about mythology of the Guartes, the gods have experienced many battles and some stories, many gods are constantly changing, dying or being reborn, but the god king, the god queen and the eldest son Clolatoy have never died, and Clolatoy is also interpreted as the god of war in the mythological stories of the Guarts.
In fact, there are other people who are the real god of war, but many people have become accustomed to treating Chloratoy as the god of war, and in some scriptures and codexes he is described as follows - "His birth was accompanied by the first rays of the sun of the world, and when he opened his eyes, night would fall." Dressed in golden armor and armed with sharp weapons, he never feared death, offering the heads of his enemies to the god-king......"
People love Klora Toi far more than other gods, and perhaps in everyone's understanding, Klora Toi will eventually become the second king of the gods, and the return on "investing" in this god king in advance will obviously be ridiculously high.
It is also said that this is because of the change of day and night, during the day he opens one eye and closes one eye, and at night he opens the other eye and closes the other, whether it is the sun or the moonlight, he sees in his eyes, so people are closer to him.
Durin thought about these things for a moment, and then smiled and looked down at Ophelia, the girl had just asked him a question, what should their child be called.
He walked to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand and carefully touched the baby's little face with the back of his hand, as if his "old skin" was too hard to poke, or the child's soft skin with stinging body hair, the child shrank his head, as if trying to avoid his touch.
Very interesting little thing, Durin withdrew his hand, looked at the girl, and said with a smile, "Toy, in the Gualtic language, stands for the brightest star. He didn't ask Ophelia if he thought the name was good, but gave the child a name very directly.
Ophelia's eyes lit up, "The brightest star...... Do you mean the sun?", Durin nodded, and the girl seemed relieved, "I think it's good, and it's not so awkward to read." ”
The name of the child was thus settled, and when he named Toy, Durin thought of the son of the god, and also gave the child an excerpt from the second half of the god's name, Klora Toy.
It seems that his attitude towards this child and the degree of importance he attaches to it are much higher than Alyssa's two children.
It's not that Durin is biased, he just shows a very simple and straightforward fact that meets the needs of society, and people will pay more attention to this child!
So Durin wanted to give him a very meaningful name, so that people could feel that Durin valued the child as much as they needed and thought, so much so that even the name could be used with some allusions or the names of mythological characters.
This kind of attention will make everyone very satisfied, and it is natural to tell themselves, lo and see, I know that Durin values this child because he is special.
What is special about him is that he will inherit everything that the Durin and Timamont families have, and his starting point has surpassed the end of ninety-nine percent of the people in this society, and much more.
Duhring's attention to him should be, only in this way is it logical and in line with people's "just needs".
If Durin behaves very indifferently and chooses a name very randomly, people will start to think about what he is doing so perfunctory.
Was he trying to send a message by naming him, such as that an irreparable rift had developed between him and the Timamontes, or was he trying to tell others that he preferred his illegitimate children?
No matter how he explains it, what others think, it will eventually bring disaster to the other two children, unbearable disasters.
Those with vested interests, in order to secure and secure their present and future interests, were willing to risk offending Doolin and harming the two children.
Because Durin cannot live forever, as long as he dies, it is this child who is in charge, and how much they lose today, tomorrow this child will make up for them with interest.
So it's not just about being born and it's over!
Before the people went to work the next morning, the whole emperor knew the news, and the first person to appear in front of Durin was the Archbishop of Kandy.
He brought almost all the clergy of the Imperial Capital Cathedral, and many believers gathered outside the hospital.
As soon as they met, Kandy, who was holding the pure gold cross in his hand, took a few quick steps and hugged Durin very politely, and he looked at Ophelia and the child in the ward, and the smile on his face was almost unbearable.
"Listen, I'm here to baptize the kid myself, I can't wait, and of course you don't have to doubt that I just want to throw him into the water, and I'll scoop him up...... It's just a joke, don't you think I'm humorous?", Kandy didn't stop talking, he crossed Doolin and walked to the edge of the bed, holding the cross in both hands to his chest, and he didn't know where to put his smiling features.
"It's lovely, I mean, it's lovely, I can't wait to get the Father's gospel to him, when are we going to be baptized?", he glanced at Durin, "Now, or in the afternoon? I think next Monday is good, I'll baptize him alone in front of everyone, in the cathedral, under the Father's watchful eye, it's my glory, and it's his glory." ”
He teased the child, and when he smirked, he looked like a fat man of thirty years old and two hundred pounds, "By the way, what is his name?
Durin blinked, he had a little pain in the mouth of this guy who could never stop like a perpetual motion machine, "His name is Toy, Toy of Klora Toy, do you know the name?"
He thought that Kandy would say that he didn't know, because this was not the content of the church, and in the past, religions hated and even fought each other because of the uniqueness of their beliefs, and the wars between different faiths were often more tragic than the wars for power and profit, and they were even more inhumane.
As for the doctrinal content of other religious beliefs, each other is regarded as a flood beast and a highly poisonous poison, not to mention understanding, even hearing it will make people uncomfortable, and the only solution is to burn all those things and purify them to make people comfortable.
The Tensho Church, which had been dominant for some time, also reached the pinnacle of exclusivity and uniqueness, and they began to do the same to others as others had done to them before.
Burning the books and doctrines of other religions, killing the followers of other religions, and everything that is not related to the Orthodox Church and faith will be clothed in the cloak of evil and then burned.
No one is going to know what the doctrines and contents of other religions are, they only care about whether people have been killed or not, and whether there is any remnant of sin.
But to his surprise, Kandy shut up almost without much thought - only for a second, he straightened up and apologized a little embarrassed for what he had just said, "Sorry, Durin, I forgot that you were a Guert, Klora Toy...... Son of God, Lord of the Stars, very good name. ”
This is some cultural surprise, in the Guarte account that Cloratoy is "the son of the gods who presides over the change of the sun and the moon and the stars", and when he arrives in Kandy, he becomes the ruler of the stars, which is a bit cooler, but he has deviated from the original meaning.
Doolin had no intention of correcting this, but he was well aware that "baptism" was necessary, not a whim of Kandy, but a tradition.
In fact, sometimes society is very realistic and contradictory, people are advocating to simplify some complex rituals as much as possible, or even abandon some traditions, but in the tower of society, in the family or organization that really controls the society, it is the most conservative.
On the one hand, they tell those at the bottom of society not to do this, not to be traditional, but they themselves have to strictly abide by it, which is strange.
Regardless of whether the people at the bottom still advocate the baptism of children, or even whether those families still have faith, "baptism" is necessary for the nobles, it can be the baptism of the Tensho Church, or other forms of baptism, the situation is not important, the important thing is that the children must be watched and blessed by the gods.
Sometimes it makes people think that the nobles may be mentally retarded and stupid, but this is the tradition of the aristocracy, a tradition that has not changed until now.
If someone has not been baptized, then he will already be artificially a marginal person who is not popular with the elders in the family and is not blessed by the blessings of the gods, and only after being baptized can he grow up healthily, intelligent, strong, and able to overcome all difficulties under the gaze of the gods.
Ophelia was also looking at him, and he smiled, "It's okay, I'll do the baptism ...... this child myself", Ophelia didn't understand, her upbringing made her choose the latter when it was possible to damage her face and stay silent and nothing would happen.
Kandy did have some understanding of this, he pouted and tilted his head, "Okay, Messiah......"
He then stayed here for about ten minutes, and before leaving, he placed the pure gold cross he had brought with him beside the child, promising that he would soon prepare a gift for the child's baptism, and asked to observe the ceremony.
The second person who came after he left surprised Durin, because he had thought about many people, but he had never thought of this person - Henry.
Durin told Henry about this when he left Ambiluo yesterday, and he asked Henry to preside over the award ceremony when he could not make it back, but Henry followed him.
He looks a little unenergetic, maybe it has something to do with not sleeping well in the car overnight, which can be seen from the fact that there is not much oil on his head, this guy is in good condition when his head is bright as if he has touched oil, and now it is gray and abrupt.
His little girlfriend followed him, and it could be seen that this girl was still very nervous about Henry, after all, there are so many beautiful girls in the empire, but there are very few people who have money, power, status and are willing to spend money.
Henry first said congratulations, then looked at the child, and after asking some of the same questions Kang had asked, he took out a very old-looking bronze key from his pocket and placed it beside the child.
"I'm in a hurry, and I don't have any suitable gifts on the way, so give him the key!", Henry behaved very lightly, if it weren't for his little girlfriend pinching his thigh from time to time, maybe others would have overlooked the value of a key.
Durin glanced at it, nodded, said thank you, and then urged Henry to rest and rush back to take his place.
He knew the key, which was the key to one of the Knights' estates in the imperial capital, not far from Doolin's fairytale castle, ten minutes away by car.
According to the current price of the manor in the imperial capital city circle, the manor given by Henry is worth at least more than 4.5 million!
And there is not only the price of the land and the house, it also has historical value, any ancient building is a treasure left by the ancestors, carrying the inheritance of history and civilization culture.
Of course, it was not the "family property" of the Knight family, it was bought by Mr. Knight a few years ago, and when he learned that the child of Durin and Ophelia had been born, he immediately called Henry and told him to come to the imperial capital, and then give the generous gift.
Doolin's market is very, very good, so good that almost most people have already decided this morning, as long as he doesn't do anything wrong with a hot head, a prime minister will definitely have his share.
A future prime minister will definitely be re-elected with his strength and drive, so if you don't invest more now, when will it wait?
Even Kandy broke the golden cross held in the statue of the Father in the cathedral, which was said to have been blessed by the Pope himself, and sent it here, and it is not so strange that Henry gave a manor.
Moreover, there will be many people who will send more things, more valuable things!
Ophelia had already slept when Durin turned back after sending Henry away, she slept a little in the morning, and then Kandy came, and now she was so sleepy that she couldn't resist falling asleep, and Durin didn't bother her.
Asking people to go outside to stop those who were about to visit, Durin also rubbed his head, found a vacant hospital room and walked in, he also needed to rest now.
He won't have much time to rest for the rest of the year.
