Chapter 236: The Great Discussion
Gartnes returned to the temple of Losanda and looked intently at the huge statue of the Lord of the Morning Sun holding up the sun in the center of the temple's hall.
Looking beyond the golden elephant, the High Priest saw the huge oil painting "The Creation of Losanda" that Bredrow had paid for the temple of Losanda for which he had paid a large sum of money.
This oil painting is indeed a masterpiece, no matter how many times you look at it, each time you appreciate it, you will have a different aesthetic perception.
But at this moment, Gartness was shocked!
AO and Losanda on the canvas don't look like gods on top, but more like two majestic and toned mortals!
Is the finger to the point transmitting divinity?
Looks more like human spirituality!
Is that magnificent young man really the embodiment of Loshanda?
Is the god floating in the air surrounded by angels really AO?
The more he looked, the more Gatnes felt a chill rise.
"Come on, why don't you take down the painting of Bredero the Blasphemer!"
The priest of Dawn roared and called the paladin attendants, and ordered them to take down the treasure of the temple that had been hanging in the temple for two years, and Gatnes had planned to destroy this strange painting, but the painting was blessed by the divine power of the Lord of Dawn, and he had to have someone wrap it in a white cloth and lock it in the secret room at the bottom of the temple.
……
The civilians of Ascatra heard that there was a confrontation between the representatives of the public in the town hall, and the final result was that "The Temple of Losanda will not be banned", and the Grand Theater of Amam will show the magic film version publicly.
They happily took to the streets, praising the wisdom of the town hall and treating it as a victory for the common people, and the slums and bridges were as lively as a festival.
Although the Bredero Theater Company has escaped without a trace, the Bredero Company is still operating in an orderly manner according to the established plan.
The R&D center and factory in the Daqiao District started all night, and the burned Shadow discs were packed in boxes, and the Shadow merchants who had been waiting for a long time snapped up the production line.
The Shadow Merchants smiled, knowing that the new show was very popular with the common people, and unlike the previous Shadow Discs released by the Bradero Company, the price of this "Temple of Losanda Temple" disc was extremely low, almost one-third of the other discs, leaving a lot of room for profit for the Shadow Dealers.
As long as they sell these discs to the Shadow Theaters all over Faerun, they can make a fortune. On the night that the Shadow Merchants got their hands on the discs, many ships left the harbor and headed off with the discs.
……
In the Bronze Crown Hotel, people who love "The Temple of Luoshanda" gather together and discuss it enthusiastically.
A year ago, Chanem had done a rare good deed by exterminating the thugs who had entrenched themselves in the Bronze Crown Hotel, freeing the gladiator Handak, and the second floor of the Bronze Crown Hotel was no longer in the leather business, and there was no bloody gladiator show for the nobles to watch bet on.
These two entertainment items were cancelled, and it was difficult to see the rich and noble people in the Bronze Crown Hotel, which became a meeting place for the common people.
Without the involvement of young aristocrats and clergy, the discussion of "The Temple of Losanda was lively but not intense", and the people present were all lovers of the play, and the discussion focused on the interpretation of the play.
Helen, the Elect of Eros, sat in a corner in a coarse casual dress and listened with her ears pricked up in a tangled mood, and she felt a lot after watching "The Temple of Loshanda", but she couldn't figure out her thoughts, and only felt that her mind was in a mess.
This time, there was no wise man like Ilminster around to solve her puzzles, and Helen could only listen to people's comments about the show as a reference, trying to figure out why the show gave her such a weird feeling.
"Bredero deserves the title of the greatest artist in the history of Ferren!"
A handsome young man was surrounded by people and said loudly: "This "Luoshanda Temple" is his amazing self-breakthrough, the concept of "love" from the narrow feelings of men and women, the love in "Luoshanda Temple" is not the love of men and women, but a kind of fraternity for mortals, he portrays a vivid and vivid image of the bottom people, praising the noble character of the lower class of civilians, this is a unique work in the history of Faeron theater, with shocking power!" ”
"Jack, your kid's book hasn't been read in vain, that's a good point!"
"Yes, yes! That's what I thought, but I can't tell! ”
"Mr. Braderow has always had a heart for the common people, and almost every one of us has received a free ticket from him, and I have known him to be a very good man, completely different from those hypocritical priests of Los Angeles!"
……
Docker Jack said with a bright eye: "The stark contrast between 'truth, goodness and beauty' and 'false, evil and ugly', the fierce conflict between the characters, the philosophy contained in this play is too profound!" Each of the characters that appear can be interpreted in detail and write a long essay. ”
He suddenly lowered his voice and whispered, "This drama realistically depicts the contrast between the ghetto and the temple district of the city of Askatra, the splendid and magnificent cathedral, the shantytown slum, the ragged vagabond beggars and the priest of Loshanda in golden silk robes...... It also delicately depicts the living conditions of the poor people in the gold and coin capital. ”
The people around him wondered, "The priest says the gods bless us, but why are we getting poorer?" ”
Another said: "A year ago I met a dirty kid running around outside the Copper Crown Hotel, and the child said that his mother worked at the Copper Crown Hotel and asked me what I meant by 'slut...... And the other day, I saw the child's mother burying him in the cemetery, and after the second floor of the hotel was destroyed, the 'slut' lost her job and the child starved to death. ”
"Why is our life so miserable? Just because the coin of the goddess Tymora is the reverse side? But this is not fair, there are far more miserable people in this world than lucky ones, and if the goddess tosses a coin to decide the fate of mortals, shouldn't there be the same number? ”
"We also have good qualities, and our souls are no inferior to those who are well-dressed and superior, like Quasimodo, but are we burdened with bullying, abuse, and suffering just because we are born ugly because of bad fate?"
"The goddess of love and goodness, Shanny, has built a temple in the city, but the celebrant only lingers in the salons of high society, either looking for the works of art left by Mr. Braderow, or playing and laughing with the young knights of the Knights of the Warmest Heart, why doesn't she come to the ghetto once, does she think that just because it is dirty and messy, there is no virtue of goodness, is it true that the goddess of Shannie is a powerful eye, and the love and goodness she professes are only superficial love and goodness, and have nothing to do with the inner and the heart?"
……
The more Helen listened, the more frightened she became, and she felt that she had fallen into a great maelstrom, and the chaotic emotions lingered in her heart.
She was even more confused, thinking that these people were very reasonable, and that they were really rebellious, and that they dared to question the great gods, and all of them were guilty of blasphemy.
