403 Brain Powder
"This ......" He carefully looked at the scroll of paper given by the Demon King, his eyes blinked, as if he was bothering to choose a less embarrassing answer between telling the truth and sycophants, Luo Yi couldn't help but feel a little weak when she looked at it, she was still very clear about how many catties and taels of her art skills were, it was a level that was even very difficult to pass - she was very suspicious that the other party didn't see what she was drawing......
The other party looked at it again and again, picked up and put down the paper roll, and finally spoke: "Is this our Lord?" ”
"......" a drop of sweat from the back of the Great Demon King's head.
"Looks ...... It's like ......."
What does "......" look like? What else could this be like?
"Is it any wonder that it is written, God made us in his likeness—and since he made a man in his likeness, what was the woman made in it? -- This is what it was -- when it was created, it was the way it was in the original - what we humans looked like in our mother's womb! ”
It's amazing, I didn't even notice it, the big head and the little tail are a bit like a fetus. The Great Demon King wiped his sweat silently, and gave the other party a thumbs up in his heart, it's good to have a high-IQ brain-dead fan, no matter what bugs you have here, he can give you a round - in other words, this seems to be the basic skill of the clergy, the ability to take care of the house?
So the archbishop returned to the Church with the "Iconocular", and of course, to preach to ordinary people who still had illusions about the life of heaven, and to add some decoration.
People want clothes, Buddha wants gold clothes, the archbishop has listened to the Great Demon King many times over the years, and has been tortured many times by the clothing industry led by her, and he will not be able to pass it - he immediately recruited several painters to serve the church. Command them this, this, and that. It is necessary to draw a "standard icon" that can be used by all people, as for the one given by the Emperor. Of course, he kept it private.
So the painters followed his instructions and gave an all-round plastic surgery to the cute little dragon who stared at a pair of briquettes with big eyes: first elongate the body, and if the canvas could not fit, they would paint more plates and two circles; Then the four little tender hands were also elongated, and they were matched with the cold and shining talons of the eagle, but the fingers were still five like those of humans, not the four of the eagles; The head is naturally the most important part of plastic surgery, and two rows of large teeth are added to the upper and lower parts of the mouth, which are also drawn according to human teeth, and two more horns are added to it. Sheep's horns with such a big head are not good-looking, so they are replaced with antlers; Finally, the tail was also elongated, covered with gold dust and scales, the flames rolled around the body, and the sun and moon rotated between the two horns......
You can imagine how shocked the Great Demon King must have been when he saw the "Standard Icon" marked with her name......
However, if it were an old friend of the people of Neustria, Mr. Abu, it would not be shocking at all, he has traveled so many places. He has seen so many gods, not to mention that the god he worships has two horns on his head, even if he has an onion head, he will not be surprised, after all. Well, it didn't surprise him as the straight crops in the field, which weren't like the gods. Crops grow in reality. The gods in fantasy can look whatever they want, and the crops in reality are the same whether they are on this side of the sea or on the other side of the sea.
So. Whether it's on the other side of the sea or on this side of the sea. The old mercenary was very strong in his faith, and he followed the pure teachings of a Shinrikyo priest many years ago: "Though you may say the name of another god with your mouth, know that your heart belongs to the truth." "He never doubted that his heart and soul belonged to gold, though he said in his mouth the true God and the truth.
Now his faith was stronger, for the Eternal City and Shinrikyo, two theoretically incompatible enemies, had now come together resolutely in order to get rich in Neustria, or to stop Neustria's attempts to prevent them from getting rich.
Right now, the vanguard of the Shinrikyo has been stationed in the periphery of the Eternal City, and the teams of Shinrikyo soldiers in black and white robes are stunned when they see the pious people and ordinary pilgrims in the Eternal City: "Oh, what is going on, we work all day and have no food, but the church takes the tribute we pay to the true God and spoils these dogs!" ”
At this time, among those who had connections with the Church, some people came out to teach the people: "You do not know the plans of the Holy See! Now, in these last days, when the nobles are rebellious, foreign bishops and abbots are betraying, and the emperor himself is unable to protect himself and does not unite with Shinrikyo, who will crusade against the false pope in Neustria? Now it is to use these cannon fodder of Shinrikyo to sweep away this Nyustrian absurdity, which is very cheap! If you have to talk nonsense again, are the cardinals of the Holy See not as good as you who understand the minds of the gods? He was so pleased that he took out an embroidered silk handkerchief from Neustria, and wiped his sweat.
When the people and pilgrims heard these words, they dispersed silently, and in a few moments they gathered silently in another corner of the street, where a monk dressed in black goat-hair, with a crank cane, was preaching to the crowd:
"Brothers and sisters, our Lord said that the rich cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, but now the elders of these churches, dressed in purple and gold, and adored beautiful women and prostitutes, worship pagan gods more than the rich men of old...... The end is near! It's close! The Demon King is coming, and he is about to destroy this ungodly kingdom! ”
Abu didn't pay attention to this kind of demagogic preaching, this kind of remarks has not been extinguished from the time of the scriptures to his time, but the rich man still wears purple and gold, and the end has not come, so he has always regarded these terrible cries as the wailing of a defeated dog, and he is ...... now Wait a minute!
He turned around and asked his companion in the Eternal City: "Does the Holy See not care about this kind of person now?" ”
It is one thing to use the coming of the end and receive some alms from a frightened people, and quite another to refer to the "elders of the church", and to even mention "worshipping pagan gods", isn't it plainly speaking of an alliance with Shinrikyo? The Jeffrey Ascetics, who had nothing to squeeze out, were on the verge of being banned, and it was never a matter of concern to Lord Abu, but the situation in front of him was extraordinary, and Abu, who had a keen sense of smell, had already smelled chaos and conspiracy.
"They, now that they have the will of a certain cardinal, who is against the alliance, so they make a lot of noise, don't worry, it doesn't matter, it doesn't work, it's just a little noise," said the escort disapprovingly, "but those dogs who believe in the truth," he said, pouting his lips, "and sometimes it is not like it, and yesterday he gave the little servant of the Turkulani family to the streets, and coaxed countless people to see it." ”
"In Shinrikyo places, it seems to them that it is 'not okay' to play with the little guys," Abu's mind was still on the ascetic who had made the heresy in public, "and that was nothing to them—well, do you think it is nothing?" It's just a little guy, and there is no such thing in this city. It's just that this time it's happening on the street, not in the homes of some adults—is that worth mentioning? It's not the turn of the son of a big man, it's just a little guy, whether he dies or lives, he can't delay our affairs, let alone the affairs of those people above, you bother with this, it's a superfluous move. ”
"Hehe," the escort laughed dryly, "that little guy is very handsome, I heard that it is a real Newsteria (this kind of goods is not as rare as before), literate and hyphenated, what is the name of Mirai, to tell you the truth, I thought that Master Turkulani bought it, but who knew that he only had two days to get started, so he fled from his house to join Shinrikyo, and as a result, he cheapened this group of Shinrikyo dogs!" ”
"It's not cheap, so it's a pity."
"Haha, haha."
They rode on horseback, surrounded by guards, as they had done in the past, and the chaos in the city did not hurt such privileged classes as them, but there were people like Abu who sensed the confusion but did not say anything, and considered ways to gain advantage of it. (To be continued......)
