Chapter 85 Glass
Considering that if you don’t go to the church to visit, you have to go to other places to "sightseeing", Craft still followed Captain William into the church.
Passing through the main entrance decorated with silver reliefs and entering the central hall, the most classic part of the standard structure is no exception in the Soothing Port Church.
All floors will not set up obstacles in the vertical direction of this area. You can directly reach the dome when you look up. The protagonist is usually painted with the heavenly scene. The bigger the church, the more it will make it more important to highlight this feature. This fearful height symbolizes the gap between God and man.
The comfort church uses a full-glass mosaic inlay top, reflecting large chandeliers and candles, which go further on the basis of tradition, bringing glory and sublimity to the extreme, making those who look up forget where they are in a daze, as if they are under the stars of the heaven and away from the hustle and noise of the world.
The columns on both sides half separate the hall from the side hall, and are provided with a barrier made of small pieces of red glass to separate the line of sight. The candlesticks behind them are vaguely seen. The transparency is much higher than those seen in the port area, and the color is also more uniform and neat.
The singing came from behind the translucent glass curtain wall, crisp and ethereal, echoing in the grand space, and the effect of being thought to be harmonious came from this.
The neat and uniform childish voices sing, in the dark red light, it is hard to say whether they are castrated singers or little boys. This sound makes Craft feel uncomfortable, and the unnaturally overlapping sounds always remind him of deep experiences. He uses human vocal cords to sing sounds as far away as possible from normal.
He turned his head and tried to shake off the sound that seemed to be stuck in his ears. However, the closed hall was everywhere, and it was difficult for visitors to cover his ears and acted rudely, so he had to focus on the decorations around him.
Unlike the outside image, the style of the church is abnormally contrary to the abstinence, serious sacred tone, and uses a large amount of warm-toned glass. A light red high-transparent glass as the main body renders a slightly drunk red halo, accompanied by slightly changed dark red, dark glass, and a few orange and orange embellishments.
It can be seen that the designer wants to create a sense of gentleness beyond the sacredness, mediate the intimidating inherent impression of the church, and make it more in line with the name "comfort".
But this adjustment is a bit too hard. For Craft, it feels like he shakes his hand and pours half a box of candy into the coffee, so sweet that it is so greasy that it cannot be described.
During the half-time walk through the central hall from the door, his sense of warm light slid all the way. It was as ubiquitous as the sound, filling the space like a mist, flowing into the pupil and applying it to the retina. The sweet and sticky syrup texture cannot be wiped dry and cleaned.
Some people may feel that they have come to a peaceful and sweet heaven. For example, Kupp likes it very much. Although he had just expressed his private foundation of faith in private not long ago, it seems that it does not hinder his liking for the environment here.
From the beginning of entering the gate, this young man living in the Yanchao District was immersed in it. Some body language clearly exposed him to relax from the restraint he had just entered the church. The warm and sweet visual experience made him very useful.
William took them down the statue, and the priest was telling the story of the saint's demeanor and suppression before the ascension of the Saint in the mortal world.
The statues of white stone figures with different postures and movements are arranged on both sides, and there is no statue in the middle. The double-wing ring logo replaces the supreme existence itself, and there is no specific image for the public to admire.
There are many records in the saints that the Father came to the world to show miracles, test and temper his believers, or praise good people and punish evil people. Sometimes they turn into appearances of mortals of different identities, and end up with revealing their true faces and everyone kneeling down to praise their kindness and wisdom.
Logically speaking, there should be many descriptions of himself. On the contrary, the imagination of the appearance of the Father is always a taboo. It is said that looking directly at his appearance is an act of disrespect. Related creations also need to be avoided, or simply declare that God has no true appearance, and it is even more impossible to be remembered by mortals.
The saint stone sculptures carved with moisturized white stones are frozen in the moment when they witness the true appearance of the gods in the story. The barefoot farmer who picked up rice ears, the knight who fought with a sword in the robe of the holy emblem, and the old bishop who looked up as he read the classics.
The carving level of these sculptures is extremely high, and in the eyes of Craft, who has no artistic cell, it is all amazing. The soft fit of the fabric and the movement of the muscle groups are extremely real, and it also ensures consistency between each stone sculpture.
The farmers should not be too low, nor should the knights be too prominent, and maintain a moderate degree.
And their eyes were aimed at the holy emblem referring to the Father in the middle, and they wanted to express more than twenty stories through one scene.
The priest finished the preaching, walked down from the stage, took the basket of bread from the young priest who was also wearing white robe behind him, and distributed it to the person who listened to the preaching. Someone who only heard the ending received one.
There is a story in the church where saints distribute the food transformed from the body of the gods to believers. As a non-believers, Craft was curious and chewed it. The unopened bread almost broke its front teeth. This piece was probably transformed from the bones of God.
"Let's go up and take a look?" Putting the bread into his pocket, he gave up the idea of solving the dinner by the way, pointed to the stairs that were not set up on one side, intending to go to the high ground to avoid the annoying choir. The second floor also seemed to be William's destination, so he held the handrail and led the stairs.
The spiral attached staircase is set in the corner of the hall, which is a bit inconspicuous. After turning two circles on it, they came to the second floor of the church.
There are some small rooms with good sound insulation. From time to time, people visiting the church open the door and look around to see if anyone pays attention to them.
Looking inward between their entry and exit, a small piece of spliced glass window was used to separate the sides of the room, so that only the two sides could see each other's general figure and know their existence, and they could not know their identity.
Perhaps it was a place where he confessed to the clergy. Craft was not interested in this, but the singing here was indeed much lighter. He looked at William inquiry, wanting to know that the captain did not go to a "reliable place" in the middle of the night, what did he want to do when he came to this church? Maybe he was guilty and wanted to redeem it?
"Oh, don't look at me that way. I'm much more pious than those people, and I'm not afraid to confess my mistakes to God." William admitted his purpose for granted, "and I always come to church first and then to the port."
"I have to say that it surpasses at least 99% of the people below." Craft stretched out the fence, crowded with people below, bathed in a light red light. The red light was not gentle from this perspective, and there was a sense of confusion in the struggle and confusion of people looking down at the world.
The only cool tone comes from the winged ring and His statue of saints, which is incompatible with the crowd. The former has no face and cannot be seen from a human perspective; the latter has only the holy emblem in his eyes, no one is watching the abortion of people coming down, and no intention of casting a sight to another priest who preached on stage.
After reading too much, he felt that such a design was not accidental, and the pictures created by the abortion and the layout themselves had specific meanings that they wanted to convey.
The churches he has been to have no more than one hand, of which about one and a half are the churches, and half are St. Simon's Church in the Port of Vinden. In the formal sense, the large church only has the church of comfort. In addition, there is no theological attainment, so it is not appropriate to make a decision.
Retracting his gaze from downstairs, Craft waved at William and said, "You go first, let's go around."
"See you later."
"After meeting, I wish God will pay attention to you." Craft said as he closed the door to William, and he could see on his strange and entangled face that he did not like this blessing very much.
"It's better not to treat this kind of treatment?" A distorted voice came from behind the door.
What a good man Ye and a dragon. Craft shook his head and left, and walked along the corridor to the main entrance. He wanted to get closer and look at the glass wings on the front of the church.
At the end of the corridor, they approached the hem of a wing.
The large feathers polished from transparent white glass are fused in sequence by methods that amateurs cannot understand. The longest one at the end is close to the length of the upper arm, and the transparency is as high as the level of the ice edges. It is so beautiful that it is not like the product of this era, and it is better than the light red glass seen downstairs.
Compared with the port's lantern decoration, the glass used in the church has opened up more than one generation gap, with higher transparency and reduced impurities.
Especially this pair of exaggerated wings basically reached the level of glass cognition of souls in other worlds, and it smelled like a glass instrument.
"It's beautiful, right?" A crisp voice approached from behind, with light steps.
Craft turned around and saw a feminine man standing next to them and enjoying the craftsmanship miracles from the nearest place.
"Indeed." The soul of another world must also admit that this thing looks shocking at night, and it cannot be done by just meeting the standards of craftsmanship. There is also the artistic attainment that has opened up the gap between him and the builder's efforts to integrate into it is unimaginable.
"The places outside are made of scraps and waste materials that the church does not want. The comfort port cannot find a place like this." There was pride and contempt in his tone. The feminine man raised his neck and looked up at the tip of his wings. "I have lived here for a long time, and sometimes I feel that the kingdom of heaven is like this."
Speaking of excitement, the tail sound changes, habitually brings the rhythm of the music, and the sound range of the rising and falling tones is wide, which sounds like a musical performance.
Well, Craft determined the source of the chorus, and there were no little boys, but castrators. Some poor children would go on this path, and through inhumane operations and rigorous training, they could find a job in churches and performance troupes.
While maintaining a wide range of vocal range, there is also a tone that has not been changed by the voice change period, and it is better to chant chants.
"Incredible, how did it do it?" The man sounded like he knew some inside information, and Craft felt that he could ask something.
"I heard it was Dunling's technology. I used some alchemy potion to remove the impurities in the glass, making it more transparent than crystal." The castrator reached out to catch the glory of the pure wonder, with his voice ethereal, "It was customized in this place, and there was nothing else in the future."
I'm very sorry, I found that the current situation is much more busy than I imagined, and it's fulfilling, but it's a bit too fulfilling...
