047 "The Guide"
At this time, it was the dark night when the North Continent had its back to the stars, Russell entered the Governor's Mansion as usual and returned to his bedroom, and the Battle Nun team followed him into the bedroom as usual to prepare for the vigil, but found that today's Governor had no intention of resting.
Russell just pulled out a little silver-haired maid from his bedroom who had been squatting in it and fishing, and then dragged her all the way to the governor's office.
"Yuan ...... What's wrong with you, Lord Doge? Grey Wind sat on the couch at his desk in front of his desk, looking at Russell with a puzzled expression.
It was touching the fish and touching it well, and suddenly it was pulled up.
"It's hard to explain, anyway, you can help me draw a picture." Russell said.
"Oh......"
Gray Wind didn't ask again, and obediently went to get a pen and paper and put it on the table.
The battle nuns who followed Russell into the office were loaded with guns and looked at each other, and the master and servant did not sleep in the middle of the night, so they stayed up all night in the office to draw.
Russell didn't have any drawing skills, so he was only responsible for dictation, and the part of the pen was done by Gray Wind.
But dictating and telling, the Battle Nuns realized that something was wrong.
They became interested in the painting that Gray Wind was drawing, but they didn't ask because of their duties, but just stood silently, their curious eyes glancing at the tip of the paper in Gray Wind's hand from time to time.
Gray Wind's painting and efficiency are impeccable, and after completing these vertical paintings at different angles as quickly as possible, Russell did not delay for a moment, and immediately went out with Gray Wind and the drawings it had drawn, and went to the newly renovated cathedral on Falla.
The Archbishop of the Star Sector of Espernes is condescending to remain here, preaching to the devout faithful.
The Anglican priest in the church received Russell very solemnly, which is what the bishop meant.
Governor Falla is the eyeliner of the Bulletiner, and this matter is basically known to everyone in the high-level who participated in the Prophetic Conference, even the senior archbishop, who is visited by Russell late at night, can't help but wonder: What does the Bulleter want to say to himself?
So he asked his nuns to set up expensive tea and desserts, and prepared to have a long conversation with Russell...... As a result, I saw Russell push aside all the tea and desserts on the table, make room for a piece, and spread out a magnificent and beautiful picture of the starry sky on it.
The background of the scroll is Falla, and the protagonist in the center is a statue of a giant with his back to the starry sky, and even if only one side face is exposed, the pious bishop recognizes the identity of this giant at a glance: the emperor.
Instead of wearing his trademark golden power armor, the emperor is dressed in scholar-like robes and a hood.
The human emperor dressed as a scholar walks barefoot in the starry sky, holding aloft what appears to be a lantern in his left hand, lighting the way forward for those behind him.
"The name of the painting is called: The Guide."
Russell propped his hands on the table, looked into the bishop's eyes, and said, "In the near future, the main gate of the L-Star Gate will be built in the Fallas system. I don't think it's possible that such an important facility won't attract the attention of the enemy, and there is even a risk of being invaded by a large-scale chaotic force. ”
Russell lifted the scroll on the table and continued: "In addition to preparing enough troops and fleets to prepare for battle. We also need a grand enough ceremony to proclaim the Emperor's great deeds, so that Falla and the Star Gate can be blessed and blessed by the Lord of Mankind. ”
His words were high-sounding, but the central idea was very simple - the main gate of the L-Star Gate must be the central hub of all networked galaxies in the future, and the eyes of countless people were focused on Falla, if not here to promote the state religion, where else could it be?
The archbishop was thrilled by his impassioned banner, and at this time he looked down to see what kind of lantern the emperor's "guide" icon was holding in his hand.
That's clearly the L-Star Gate.
Russell wanted to equip the L-Star Gate with a huge imperial icon as an amenity, or a figure base.
In this universe, there is nothing more resistant to the erosion of chaos than the Emperor Icon that believers worship day and night.
The main structure of the L-Star Gate is divided into two parts, and between the two force field generators is a bent and distorted spherical space-time, the overall visual effect is indeed a bit like a lantern, and there is no sense of disobedience for the emperor to carry in his hand. It's just that this lantern is a bit big, and the corresponding guide icon has to be built very large.
The archbishop's expression was serious, and his calm eyes burned with fanaticism, the significance of such a spectacle was too great, both religious and political......
The grandeur of the hand-painted plan and beautiful design of Grey Wind had completely captured the heart of the archbishop, who was convinced that if the icon of the "Guide" could be completed in his own hands, he would be famous in the history of the Church.
But in addition to the excitement, the archbishop was also a little worried.
There is naturally no technical difficulty in building a statue, but even the most simple work will become difficult after reaching a certain scale, not to mention that it is necessary to build such a spectacle in space, the difficulty of the project increases dramatically, and many variables must be considered, if the statue of the god emperor is bumped by a passing comet in space or loses a hand, it will not be just an ordinary political disaster.
Russell knew about it, but it couldn't be done by the Anglicans, and they would have to turn to the Mechanics Guild for help in designing and building it.
Due to the dire relationship between the two religions, Russell felt that the archbishop would definitely have to contribute a lot of blood in this matter, such as the various high-tech holy relics enshrined in the state church's collection, and the mechanical order would be covetous for many millennia, and they would definitely take this opportunity to open their mouths......
But that's not something he's to worry about.
Russell was only responsible for giving the plan, and had no intention of participating in the implementation at all, and immediately left the church after handing in the blueprints, and returned to his loyal bedroom with Grey Wind.
At this time of day, there should be a mountain of government affairs piled up in front of the desk in the office, and there is no time to sleep, but since the end of the Prophet Conference, the Fallas system has opened a vigorous infrastructure, and people from all walks of life have participated in the grand event here, full of vitality.
Contrary to this lively atmosphere, Russell was at his most idle at this time.
After negotiating about the stationing of the warband, he directly handed over all the core powers in his hands to the Confessional Fire Warband stationed there, as well as the administrative team from Esperneth. Basically, he has put himself in the position of governor, and the governor who is popular with the people is now basically an idle person.
In Espernez's view, Russell's initiative to surrender power was a very wise act of self-preservation.
But Gray Wind knew that the marshal just wanted to touch the fish.
Russell never regarded Falla as his basic plate, nor did he care about power struggles, his real focus was on other places, a place that no one noticed.
