146 Construction works
In this way, the scoundrel came to the parish of Tournest with a blade and the promise of a countess. He was accompanied by two of the Countess's servants, who were ordered by the Countess to escort the scoundrel so that he would not be killed on the way by other thugs who were in the way. The escort did not know what to do
The real purpose of this man was to think that Madame had sent him to Turneste to prepare for the young man's home.
The villains knew no more about religion than the common people, but there were such figures among the clergy at that time. Because he had an extraordinary purpose, he neither swaggered through the market with **, nor was he drunk like mud, and in terms of it, it was not possible to be closer to the conduct of the bishop to whom Count Fisher belonged
A devout priest - so he traveled all the way, and no one doubted his identity.
When the group arrived in Tournest, the whole city was becoming a large construction site.
The first to start construction were the city walls and churches.
The bishop subcontracted the construction of the second wall, many of whom were great benefactors of the church, and the bishop managed to make them think that it was the work of St. Aubrey, and they competed with each other to do the best for their part.
Baroness Warratt, who was also one of these benefactors, was particularly indignant at the assassination that had taken place in her own territory, for such a terrible conspiracy had taken place under her nose without her knowledge of it.
To compensate the bishop, she contracted the construction of another section of the city walls.
The renovation of the church was directed by the bishop himself, which he had some leisure time to do after he was no longer in the countryside.
The Cathedral of Tourneste is an ancient and magnificent building: the entire church has fifty-two windows, of which thirty-two in the nave and twenty in the nave, all of which are decorated with stained glass, and the craftsmen of the time were not yet able to make large blocks of plate glass, which were made of inlaid lead bars
The lattice looks a bit like a lattice window, but the window is not made of paper but glass, and the lead bars inlaid with glass are cleverly made into various frames of the images of saints and the Holy Spirit, and then the craftsmen cut the stained glass and insert it into it, the practice is a bit like the sand paintings used by modern children, and these beautiful windows are present
the dedication of the king's grandfather during his reign; There are 120 columns in the whole church, of which 41 are in the inner sanctuary, of which 20 columns were moved from other churches, and 21 are from ancient pagan temples; The church has eight doors, three in the inner nave and five in the outer nave; The dome of the church also
It is worth seeing, originally covered with thatch, later changed to shingles, and after the rebellion led by the current bishop's grandfather, the citizens who participated in the rebellion were forced to pay a fine and rebuild the dome of the church with bricks, and the king atoned for their sins by wrapping the outside of the dome of the church with shiny tin for this terrible desecration.
The interior of the church is as up-to-date as the church itself, and when the church was first built, it had nothing more than turf and mud walls, and at that time people may or may not have plastered the interior walls, because the first records do not mention any decoration in the interior of the church.
When the walls of the church were replaced with sandstone, successive kings and bishops sent in coloured marble to decorate the walls of the nave. The church hired craftsmen to carve the capitals and ceilings. On top of the carvings, the various donors added painted decorations.
The queen who brought St. Aubrey to Turneste donated a marble coffin to hold the saint's body, and her daughter donated silk and gold thread to make the drape on the coffin. Now a brocade canopy embroidered with gold thread and pearls is hung above the coffin, and a gold lantern is erected in front of the coffin.
The treasures consecrated to the church were much more than that—gold, silver, pearls, amber, garnets and other precious stones, silk, furs, beeswax, grease, grain, slaves...... The degree of abundance teaches that if people only see this, they will never think of what a miserable world outside the church.
It is not uncommon for the peasants to starve, the nobles and the high clergy to fight each other, and in these small countries of chickens and dogs, even the kings and queens are in danger, and the reality of the world is so cruel and dark that they have poured all their hopes and precious possessions into the supernatural world to the extent that there is more than one
The king lamented that there was nothing left for him in his kingdom by the church.
The current bishop's design is to add a circular apse to the church, which houses books and sacristy, and also serves as a meeting room for meetings.
The round apse will have a ring of transparent glass windows at the heights, the recipe for the making of the clear glass that the bishop has obtained from the Grand Demon King, and the dome itself is intended to imitate the Pantheon in Rome, with a round hole in the center. These designs not only increase the sense of tallness of the building itself, but also reduce the use of fire candles in the interior of the building, reducing the risk of fire fighting.
In the center of the apse a pool was set up for fire protection, as the books and the vestments in the sacristy were afraid of fire.
In addition to this new addition, the anticipated renovation will include the addition of sculptures to the dome, the repainting of the ceiling and walls to the New Age, and the replacement of the saints with withered faces and eyes that look only at the void rather than the mortal world.
The bishop himself had to direct the work of these new constructions and renovations, so he was busy on the church site with his staff in addition to the daily rituals.
And the baroness often went to the church site to open her eyes.
Because there were many methods of construction that she had never seen before—for example, the craftsmen here used pulleys to carry stone and wood to high places, similar to the principle of modern cranes, and unlike modern cranes, the source of power was manpower—and the three of them moved forward together on a huge wheel
Run, drive this wheel to roll, and then the wheel drives the pulley to lift the weight.
This human-powered wheel is very similar to the running wheel that hamsters play with, except that people are running in it, not hamsters, and the purpose is to work rather than play.
It is said that in the ancient empire, this device was used to drive the lifting platform and send the beasts and fighters to the terrible performance arena.
When Luo Yi was in China, he saw a three-story stage, the three floors represent hell, earth, and heaven, and there is a well in the center.
The Baroness was not the only one attracted by these machines, and the villain turned a blind eye to them.
He was preoccupied with finding the target of his assassination.
