Chapter 683: Empathy
Rose Castle, dressing room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mu En stood in the center of the room, standing straight, his body stiff like a sculpture, motionless. On the walls around him were half-human-high mirrors, smooth and translucent, reflecting his figure from all angles.
In the mirror, Mu En was wearing a bright red court gown, which perfectly fit the body shape, red like blood burning, and there were golden threads outlining a blooming rose pattern on his chest, which was the symbol of the Igor family.
I have to say that under the backdrop of the clothes, Mu En looks noble, atmospheric, and majestic, like a king.
To tell the truth, Mu En was already very satisfied, he thought that wearing this outfit for the coronation of the Grand Duke was already quite stylish, but no matter how satisfied he was, the old man in front of him did not nod, and he could only spare precious time to make clothes racks.
"Please take two steps forward, swing your arms naturally on both sides, your steps must not be fast or slow, and your movements must be natural. ”
"Wave your fist at your subjects, not back and forth, but from left to right, with a forceful movement, but not too fast, and look in a certain direction with your fist. ”
"Please raise a glass with one hand, yes, over your chest, but never higher. ”
It was an old man who spoke, his white hair and beard meticulously combed, and a court suit in a white tight leather coat outlined his figure more upright than that of a young man, and his every move was with aristocratic elegance and reserve.
The old man's expression was grim, and he walked around the room, observing Mu En from all angles, or the clothes on Mu En's body.
From time to time, he would ask Muen to make various movements, simulating all the activities that would take place during the coronation ceremony, while he constantly corrected the movements and gestured to the inappropriate parts of the dress.
Every time he made a request, he would bow slightly to Mu En very respectfully, showing his respect, but he would never relax his requirements because of this, the clothes that were already extremely close to Mu En seemed to him were full of loopholes in the eyes of the other party, and the key points of the change alone were already written on a scroll.
Mu En really wants to say that he thinks that the clothing in this world is actually monotonous, and the difference in clothes is more about the difference in materials, as the successor of the Igor family, he must wear a red satin court dress for the coronation ceremony, and the changes that can be made are only details, and he really doesn't have to be so serious.
He even wanted to say that no one would dare to despise the real king, even if he was dressed as a beggar, and I was now going out in my pajamas, and those who saw me had to be courteous.
However, the master tailor named Old Benson, the master of etiquette, and the court scholar in front of him did not think so.
"The Igor family is a great family that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is the nobility and majesty that comes out of the bones, and there is no room for the slightest defect. ”
"In the eyes of the people, Grand Duke Igor is their heaven and their earth, so your every move must not be inappropriate. ”
"Tomorrow, you will be worshiped in the eyes of the public, you will receive the allegiance of the nobility and the blessing of the Quartet, you represent the pride of the thousand-year-old inheritance, the glory of Igor, you must not have half a blemish. ”
"The ancient Igor family has a heritage that outsiders can't imagine, and our clothing has always been the vane of the Saint-Lance Empire, and every design and change of ours will become the standard for other cities to follow, so there must be no mistake. ”
"Old man, I am dying, I am honored to be able to perform a dress for the new Grand Duke before I die, please believe in my loyalty and professionalism, I will definitely make you the most coercive king. ”
Muen's time was tight, and the coronation ceremony seven days later was compressed into two days, which meant that he had to deal with all the necessary preparations for the ceremony in two days, and he really didn't want to waste his time on a piece of clothing.
But facing the old man in front of him, the ancestor of all the tailors in the Rose Collar, the retainer of the Igor family, the time of serving the Igor family is longer than that of the old butler Jabbar, and his seniority is so old that he is almost unsurpassed, after being nagged for more than half an hour.
Mu En finally realized that a piece of clothing determines the glory of the Igor family, so, for the sake of his own ears, and for the stubborn old man who is over 100 years old will not choke to death without taking a breath, he took it, obediently made a marionette, and made changes in dress and etiquette...... Training.
In fact, he also understands that the change of dress can be regarded as a cover, and the main thing for this old man is to train him in etiquette.
In the eyes of the aristocracy, etiquette is an indispensable instinct, the main place to distinguish it from commoners, and Muen, as an illegitimate child, is almost blank in this regard.
With all the walking and gait training of the two hourglasses, Munn's patience was almost worn out, and almost just as he was about to pick his son, there was a knock on the door, and Reddy walked in, bringing important news.
"Sir Benson, I'll leave it to you, I have important business to attend to, so I'll go first. ”
After Mu En put down this sentence, he didn't care about Old Benson's face, and ran away almost without looking back.
@@@
Inside the study.
After listening to Reddy's report, Muen's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the subtle sound echoed around, showing that he was not calm.
"Is life a salute? This majesty is really willing to give up!"
There is a saying in that world: because of the unknown, so awe, and in this world, the gods know this truth far better than mortals, so they are as high as the sun, moon and stars, accepting worship, and generally speaking, they will never directly interfere in mortal affairs.
Most of their aims and ideas are fulfilled through their own mouthpieces and churches, and as the most important mouthpiece and ultimately suppressed by force, the elect and the divine favor are born.
Long ago, the chosen and deities of the goddess of life were called the Praise of Life, and in addition to the power and magic they had cultivated in their own hands, they also had a magical ability - the Praise of Life, which can be regarded as the highest version of the restoration magic, which can bring the dead back to life, awaken life, and even recall dead souls from the underworld.
Liv inherited the Rite of Life, which means that she will become the Pope of the Church of the Goddess of Life, with the task of mission.
Reddy didn't have Munn's erudition, but he had only come here knowing the relevant information, and he knew exactly what the 'Celebration of Life' meant, which made him even more confused.
"Boss, I have thoroughly investigated the origin of this Liv, according to the feedback, she is also the daughter of a pharmacist, her parents died on the way to escape, she fled many places, about a few months ago rushed to the city of Ilmassu, and entered the Green Valley.
It is said that there are many refugees with this kind of resume, and she has not shown any talent, she was born ordinary, her knowledge is not high, and most importantly, she is not a professional, and her strength is even more pitiful. Reddy scratched his head and asked strangely, "I'm curious why His Majesty chose her?"
"Reddy, remember what I told you before? If you want to see something, you have to think from the perspective of a bystander, and if you want to understand a person's behavior, then you have to put yourself in their shoes. Mu En raised his head slightly, stared at Reddy with closed eyes and said:
"To you, this Miss Liv is pitifully weak, and she doesn't have enough strength to gain a foothold in this world. But if you're a god, is there a difference between an ordinary commoner and a transcendent or less professional in your eyes?"
"This ......" Reddy was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Indeed, in the eyes of the gods, there is no difference between a second-order professional like me and a mortal, and even, a simple blank paper like Liv is actually easier to portray.
As for strength, as long as the believer's faith is pious enough, and that lady is willing to pay the capital, this is not a matter at all. ”
"That's right, that eliminates these distractions, what will you find when you look at Liv's information again?" Mu En took over the conversation, flipped the scroll that recorded Liv's information, and there was a lot of seriousness in his tone:
"She doesn't have the strength of a professional, but she was able to live in the wild for almost two years, from the Kubaron Kingdom on the west coast of the continent all the way here. ”
"She can use the ability of a thin pharmacist apprentice to integrate into the life of Midoriya in a very short period of time, and she is recognized by everyone. ”
"She was able to waive the cost of the potions, but insisted that the refugees trade their labor and food in exchange for them, creating a virtuous cycle of potion production and consumption, and she used food to support Mary's family without leaving a trace and preserving dignity. ”
"She did her best to save two unrelated children, and even got the approval of that one. ”
"Shrewdness, strength, perseverance, perceptiveness, a certain degree of leadership, from the ordinary and suffering, and a heart that has not been worn out, these are her shining points, and it is not surprising that His Majesty recognizes her. ”
"But ......" Mu En's words paused slightly, his expression was a little solemn, and said: "Thinking from my point of view, I care more about the one who will actually pick out this generation of 'Praise of Life' in Ilmasu City, she seems to have eaten me?!"
"Uh, what does that mean?" Mu En's empathy made Reddy feel like he was suddenly enlightened, he knew very well that Mu En was teaching him, for him who was doing intelligence work, sometimes he could think from the other party's point of view, and he could get a different world.
However, the last sentence also confused him, and the jump in Mu En's thinking made him a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.
"Now that the major churches in the city of Ilmasu have been swept away, it is the best opportunity for expansion, and the right I gave that His Majesty to preach is actually a kind of reward.
I had expected that the one who would bring in mature clergy from elsewhere would come over and actively develop believers in the shortest possible time.
Maybe the church of the goddess of life has died out, and everything has to start from scratch, but with her relationship with Mother Earth, it is not impossible to second, and even invite His Majesty the Giant God to come and sit in person.
But she didn't, she gave up on the way to get a large number of believers in the shortest possible time, and instead chose a more long-term route, a path that I didn't really want to see. ”
