Chapter 593 How Intangible Cultural Heritage Was Born
Chapter 593: How intangible cultural heritage was born
"His Majesty the Pope has ordered that your bastard leader get out and see you~!"
Hearing this angry shout, everyone on the Victory stopped laughing and joking, looked at each other for a few times, and then realized that the other party was calling Lord Lorraine.
Lorraine scratched her head and saw that the red-robed bishop opposite had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot and looked unfriendly at all. She wanted to give him a little more color, but then she thought about it, His Majesty the Pope is Hilmeria's
His biological father, that is, he is his cheap father-in-law. For the sake of Hilmeria, he has to sell this little bit of face.
Lorraine immediately showed a bright smile and jumped off the Victory. Before he walked into the red-robed bishop, he laughed and said: "Oh, hello, hello, just send someone here.
How dare you work for this noble man in red?"
Then he turned around and waved to Ran on the Victory, saying loudly: "Okay, okay, the exercise is over. You gangsters, I told you not to let you perform, but if you insist on performing, you will cause trouble for me."
Lorraine held the red-robed bishop's hand, shook it vigorously, and said with a very expressive expression: "I'm really sorry for disturbing the Holy Master."
The red-robed bishop cursed secretly: Exercise? You really dare to talk about it. This is the gate of Fantino. No demon has dared to do this here.
The red-robed bishop had a serious face and a businesslike expression, and said dryly: "I've long heard that Lord Lorraine, you are quite... high-spirited and upright. When I saw you today, you are indeed worthy of your reputation."
Lorraine gave an honest smile and said: "A prize, a prize, that's all nonsense. They can't take it seriously."
The red-robed bishop said "hmm" and said in his heart: I originally wanted to say that you are quite shameless.
Then the bishop pointed to the carriage behind him and said: "Sir, please get in the carriage with His Highness Leo, Master Lester and Miss Vera. Don't keep His Majesty the Pope waiting."
Vatican, the city at the center of the human world.
The holy fire in the Great Light Temple, which represents human civilization, has been passed down for thousands of years and has been burning brightly, illuminating the entire continent.
It is like a beacon in the dark night, pointing out the direction for human society.
Every day, countless believers come from all corners of the world and travel thousands of miles. The only purpose is to kneel down in front of the statue of the great God of Light, respectfully kiss the smooth marble floor, and cry bitterly.
Repent your past sins and purify your heart and soul.
But according to that scumbag Lord Luo, the tax department also has the same function.
Which of the gangsters who came out didn't cry bitterly? Then they cried loudly, grabbed their hair with both hands, and grabbed the ground with their heads. Also, not a penny from the scratches was left.
Therefore, if you really want to be a bitch, you only need to go to the tax bureau honestly. You don't have to travel such a long distance, and you have to risk being acclimatized, or being robbed or beaten.
Human meat buns with barbecued pork...etc., etc., there is a danger of dying on the way.
Moreover, even after going through ninety-nine and seventy-three difficulties, trekking through mountains and rivers, climbing over mountains and ridges, and walking into the gate of Fantino, do you think you have entered heaven?
As a religious and political city for thousands of years, Fantino is prosperous and developed, which also means... prices here are very expensive.
Just these words, Lorraine only dared to say a few words secretly, but never dared to make it public. Because the danger involved was too high.
First of all, there is no guarantee that there will not be a few fanatics among those guys. If they really seem to have rabies and jump out to cause trouble for him, it will be really troublesome.
Lord Luo is a pure aristocrat. He just chats with his girlfriends every day, and then teases those cat-eared girls, listening to them call out softly, "Linax Butterfly~!", and then engages in sex.
There are fashion shows, beauty pageants, etc., I am already so busy that I am dizzy.
How can he, the old man, have the time in the United States to argue with those psychopaths who are busy calculating how many angels can stand on the tip of a needle?
Secondly, no matter how good this kind of thing is, it will ruin other people's jobs. Those bald-headed gangsters didn't offend him. Some of them are still his business partners. Lord Lorraine has not degenerated enough to want to form a partnership.
People are here to make profits, so of course Lord Luo will not do anything right.
Thirdly, and this is the most important thing, one of his girlfriends is the daughter of the Holy See. If the other party knows that he said this, he will definitely be punished with whips, candles, high heels or something.
A meal is absolutely indispensable.
At this time, Lorraine was riding in a luxurious carriage, driving slowly on the flat avenue, and could see this great city through the clean and transparent glass windows.
Different from the luxurious and magnificent Ruman City, a thousand-year-old capital, this city is a little more graceful, quiet, solemn and solemn.
Although thousands of people come here every day, under the unique religious atmosphere, everything seems orderly and even a bit quiet.
Everyone is extremely pious and courteous. When they encounter any small things or problems, they don’t fight or argue. Instead, they take a step back with a smile. Even sometimes, they do their best when they are treated unfairly.
Tolerance.
In comparison, Nedel City, the best place in Naian Province under Lord Luo's rule and where the governor's palace is located, is simply a scum.
Every one of those gangsters was very angry and would throw fists at every turn, and fights occurred one after another. The tired city guards were like dogs, running around with their tongues out every day.
Maintain order.
In the civil courts, the sound of the hammers of the judges is deafening, and they have to be re-ordered and replaced with a new batch every other month.
But on the other hand, on Nidel's side, you can see people's eyes full of hope and vitality, and their faces full of energy.
But in this place, it is solemn and holy, everyone is polite and polite, and even the air seems to be stagnant. People who are stressed do not dare to breathe loudly, let alone talk noisily.
And another biggest feature of this city is that there are so many churches and statues. Every few steps, you can see a church or statue.
Each of these churches and statues has a story behind it, describing an era or a great figure.
It suddenly pulls people into history. It seems like they have traveled through time and space.
This feeling can only be found in this great city.
Those who have almost all the historical relics disappeared will have a hard time feeling the weight and vicissitudes of history unless they are there.
This is like Jiang Ziya's fishing rod, Qin Shihuang's Tai'a, Liu Sambongzi's dice, Cao Cao's tomb, Kangxi's foreskin... all displayed together for people to visit.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel awe after seeing it. She thought that if she took out all these cultural relics and threw them at Sotheby's auction house, how many lifetimes would she be able to squander?
At this time, the carriage moved forward slowly and arrived at the city gate.
Immediately afterwards, a harsh brake sound was heard.
The carriage shook immediately and then stopped.
Lorraine was not prepared and almost fell from her seat.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but glared at the little gangster next to him and said, "What are you doing?"
Leo bared his tiny white teeth, which were as fine as jade, and smiled shamelessly. Then without saying anything, he opened the car door and jumped out.
Lorraine watched him unbutton his pants as he walked, and couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, he arrived at the city gate, then raised his head, looked at the beautiful statues on the city wall, then took out his small penis with a proud look on his face, and stood at the city gate, facing the passage.
Passing the breeze to urinate.
The guards at the city gate, the knights escorting them, the believers passing by, and even a group of royal guards from the Ruman Empire, everyone couldn't help but look dull. For a moment, their brains even went into shock, and some couldn't turn around.
.
Everyone could only watch as the little gangster let go of the water faucet and happily drew a strange pattern on the ground with the stream of water.
The little elephant wandering next to him was also a little anxious to urinate. At this time, he saw that the boss was already leading by example, and he suddenly remembered that as a little brother, it was his natural obligation to follow and flatter him, so he took a big step away.
Amidst the sound of shaking footsteps, he ran over, then stood next to Leo, and also released a large amount of water.
It's not used to being on the boat, and it's still a little angry these days. The urine is yellow and smells fragrant. What's more, because of its huge body, it naturally urinates a lot.
After soaking in urine, the water of the Tiber River is really like the endless waves, and the flooding of the Yellow River is out of control...
The priests who were in charge of welcoming him almost burst into tears when they saw this.
mlgbd~!
This is the Holy City, the residence of the God of Light. You treat this place as a toilet. It would be strange if you tell people about this without losing their lives~!
But facing a child, a little beast who doesn't understand sense at all, even if they have something to say, how can they say it?
After all, things like truth are for reasonable people. They are just acting like hooligans. If you try to reason with them, it will not explain any problem except that you are a fool who has had his brain kicked by a donkey.
.
At this time, Leo finished urinating and then had a big peeing fight. Then he tied his trousers with great satisfaction, bulging his belly, taking a square step, including Hitler, Mussolini and other people.
With the air of indifference typical of great dictators, he returned to the carriage calmly.
He sat back on his seat, then blinked his big black and white eyes, looked at the stiff-faced people and said, "What? Are we going to stay here for the rest of our lives? Let's go quickly~!"
The cardinal was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
He looked at the white and tender little face of the shameless little fat man who was peeing in the street. His eyes were as wide as dead fish, almost popping out. Sadness, joy, fear and surprise... all kinds of thoughts.
.All five flavors are available in one moment.
He deliberately wanted to curse a few words. But he knew that such a thing was something he said lightly, and the other party was the future emperor of the empire. If he cursed, it would immediately become a political incident, and he might even be held accountable.
Lorraine looked at his angry eyes and felt a little embarrassed. She coughed lightly and then comforted: "My lord, you should look away from this matter. Maybe in a few years, this place will also become a famous place."
It’s a historical relic, isn’t it?”
The cardinal looked at Lorraine, his eyes even a little distracted. These people are so shameless~! Can you say such a thing?
At this moment, Leo screamed in shock and said: "What? There is such a good thing? This is not good, this is also an investment in the cultural industry. If they charge a fee later, I will take half of it."
shares. Otherwise it will be a huge loss~!”
The cardinal felt dizzy for a while and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He made several soft gurgling sounds from deep in his throat. Finally, it turned into a long sigh and shouted to the driver driving the horse: "Quickly, your Majesty is still waiting~!"
The driver hurriedly whipped his whip to drive the car.
The cardinal felt himself swaying, and the carriage continued on the road. At that moment, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: These bastard Rumans~!
Their thoughts are simply beyond the comprehension of humans. No, the thoughts of these scum are just like the monsters in the abyss of hell, and they are completely different from humans.
If it's not them who deserve to go to the lunatic asylum, then I should go to the lunatic asylum~!
At the same time, he also felt weak all over. He felt as if he had seen a pile of super shit and could run away as far away as he wanted.
After passing through the city gate, the carriage continued along the avenue.
When Lorraine was on the battleship, he could see the huge dome of the Temple of Light across the sky. As the distance got closer and closer, that great building also revealed its true majestic appearance.
St. Paul's Cathedral, the most magnificent cathedral in the world.
This building can be called the greatest building in the history of architecture and art in human civilization. It is not only a holy place for believers, but also a palace of art and a treasure of architectural art.
It took one hundred and twenty years to build.
This great project embodies the wisdom of countless top architects and art masters. These greatest artists in the world have dedicated their entire lives to this project.
You must know that although these figures are not princes or generals, they are still extremely great and highly respected in the human world.
Not to mention anything else, the value of just the pieces of paper signed by the artists is enough to increase the daily turnover of Feiying Salt Industry, a salt trading company owned by Lord Luo.
At this time, the carriage had walked out of the long street, and the front suddenly became clear. A huge square appeared in front of it.
This square is slightly oval in shape and extremely large, able to accommodate 500,000 people.
The ground is all carefully paved with small white stones. The two sides are surrounded by semicircular marble colonnades, forming three corridors, which are magnificent and majestic.
These colonnades consist of more than 200 columns and more than 80 square columns. Each one is nearly 20 meters high and requires four or five people to hold it.
On the top of the stone pillars, there is a marble statue. They are all saints of the Holy See for thousands of years. They have different expressions and are lifelike. These statues were also carved by a great artist. They are gorgeous and exaggerated.
It is full of unique artistic features of the Baroque style.
In the center of the square, there stands an obelisk.
This obelisk is said to be part of a powerful weapon of the demons during the war between gods and demons, but it was later taken back by humans.
Originally it belonged to the Ruman Dynasty, but I don’t know why later. Maybe the emperor at the time was dissatisfied with occupying the space, or maybe there was some ulterior and dirty political deal in the dark. This obelisk was also used for many years.
Before that, it was unceremoniously appropriated by His Majesty the Pope as his own.
It is said that countless manpower and material resources were used and a lot of time was spent to complete the relocation project.
Lorraine jumped off the carriage and stood on the edge of the main square, intoxicated by the majestic and holy atmosphere. Feeling the artistic atmosphere brought by religious art. In the jargon of old thieves: sniff.
Smell the local flavor.
But the cardinal next to him was thinking about the scene that just happened at the city gate, and wanted to end his mission as quickly as possible.
Therefore, he had no intention of proudly introducing these great buildings and the stories behind them to the distinguished guests as before. He just made random gestures with his hands and said vaguely: "Sir, please look, here.
It’s the Grand Square, in front of it is the Cathedral, and next to it is the famous History Museum. On the other side is the Vatican’s Treasure House..."
He pointed randomly, thought for a moment, and found that there was nothing missing, so he took a long breath and said, "That's basically it."
Lorraine tilted her head, and then said hesitantly: "Uh, by the way, if you don't give me a good introduction..."
As soon as he said this, the cardinal pretended not to hear, interrupted him, and said expressionlessly: "Sir, please, please go this way..."
With that said, he stretched out his hand and guided Lorraine towards the cathedral.
Lorraine also knew that this guy was shocked by the fierce and gorgeous performance art of Leo and Xiaobai. At that moment, he couldn't help feeling helpless and had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.
Behind them, Leo and Xiao Bai tilted their heads together, looking around at something. Their four eyes were all shining brightly, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Vera next to her looked at them with a puzzled look on her face. Seeing that everyone around her was walking forward, she reached out to pull the two of them and said: "Let's go, let's go..."
Leo and Xiao Bai immediately looked at each other and continued to struggle, but Vera immediately stretched out her hands skillfully, one left and one right, and just pinched their two heads, and then scolded them softly.
Said: "Leo, Nicole said, you want me to watch you carefully. If you don't obey, I...I...I will twist it hard."
The voice was sweet and soft, and it didn't sound very lethal, but it was very effective.
The man looked like two hooligans and immediately became honest.
Leo raised his hands obediently and said, "Okay, okay, I understand. Isn't it okay?"
Next to him, Xiaobai honestly raised his nose high to signal surrender.
Vera then let go of her hand, then lowered her head, blinked her big blue eyes, looked at the base of his ears with concern, and said, "Here, let me see, is it red?"
As she spoke, she leaned over and took a closer look. She was relieved after confirming that she had not pinched either of them.
An old couple who came to worship nearby saw that this girl was so kind and gentle, and couldn't help but sigh: This is really a good girl with a pure heart~!
The lady among them smiled tenderly at Vera and said, "Girl, you will definitely find a good husband in the future."
Vera was stunned for a moment, then turned back to look at Lorraine who was not far away. Suddenly for some reason, her fair and jade-like face turned red, and then she stammered: "What...what...what from my husband's family?"
,I...I don’t want it..."
After saying that, he turned around, the black skirt of the maid's uniform flew up, and ran over quickly.
Leo and Xiaobai looked at each other inexplicably. Why do these women all look so strange when they mention their husband's family?
But then the two guys shook their heads together: Who cares? Who cares~! Anyway, these women's thoughts are always very complicated, and it's impossible to figure them out even if you try hard. If you have this time, you might as well do something else.
It's~!
The two little guys rolled their eyes together, and then followed Lorraine towards the grand temple.
Behind them, the old gentleman touched his pocket strangely and murmured: "That's weird, where is my wallet? I remember it was clearly in my pocket..."
Amid the murmurs, Leo turned his back to him, raised his fat little fist, and lightly touched Xiaobai's raised long nose in celebration.
Then the two little ruffians walked away together, their figures flashed at the door of the temple and disappeared.
Lorraine moved forward under the leadership of the cardinal.
They walked through the tall and majestic hall. In this cathedral, which can accommodate 50,000 people, there are all kinds of decorations, which are extremely gorgeous, even to the point of being disturbing and awe-inspiring.
On top of the dome, there was a scene of a battle between the God of Light and the monsters in the abyss of hell.
Lorraine originally planned to stop and take a good look, but the cardinal kept walking forward without stopping.
Lorraine had no choice but to follow his footsteps.
They passed through the front hall, and then came to a secret staircase. The bishop didn't even look at it, he immediately opened the door, went straight through the stairs, and then came to the bookshelf on the opposite side.
He stretched out his hand and scratched the bookshelf, and the huge bookshelf immediately and silently slid open, revealing a door at the back.
The bishop did not go in, but stretched out his hand to make a sign of invitation, turned around and walked out.
Lorraine looked at his back and hesitated for a moment, then stepped in.
He immediately found himself in a large study room. The books and materials were piled up like mountains, but they were also arranged on the bookshelves, orderly and not messy at all.
This huge library is even better than the underground library in Maple Leaf Danlin.
At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Are you Lorraine?"
