Vol 9 Chapter 9: Kingdom 2 Princess

Carving idols is the most important part of building a temple. The design of its image is even more important, but since the two Hades statues in the original temple have already made believers very satisfied, this time in the image design No changes have been made to it, but because the new temple will inevitably be taller and larger than the original, the original idol will be too small when placed in the new temple, so it must be carved.
As the new temple was rebuilt on the old site, the artisans temporarily set up a warehouse not far from the place to place the idols and other things in the original temple. The initial carving of the new idol is also in this warehouse. .
Milixtos is the main person in charge of sculpting the idol. He is also a famous sculptor of the kingdom. The bronze statue of Hades holding a football outside the main arena in Turinese city came from his hand.
Don't look at the tall and heavy idols. In fact, the core material is wood. Of course, the wood used as an idol requires hard texture and tight texture. Therefore, it is generally a ship's wood, preferably a hundred-year-old cedar. With the original idol as a model, it took only two months for Milictos to sculpt three wooden idols (two Hardis and one Persephone), which is better than the original The idol is more refined and vivid.
接下来 Then he left the work to his assistants, and that was to apply skin to the idol. Due to the whiteness and rarity of ivory, it has become the first choice for idol skin for nearly a hundred years. Engravers have torn the complete ivory into thin sheets, and then glued them to the surface of the idol one by one. Needs patient work.
Each idol is extremely huge. A person can stick at most one finger a day, but hundreds of sculptors are doing this work at the same time, so the progress is quite fast.
While applying skin to the idols, the engravers and artisans were doing two other jobs: one was to burn the sand into stained glass, and then make a star-shaped decoration, each piece like a sparkling little gem , They will be inlaid on the wall behind the idol as the background of the starry sky; the other is to make gold foil, the goldsmiths will gold into a thin sheet, and then paste it on the ivory skin of the idol as the gold worn by the idol The crown of clothes and crowns added the grace and luxury of the Hades. As for the idol in the Temple of Hell, it was covered with silver foil and painted with a faint blue lacquer, so that the atmosphere of the whole temple matched.
In addition, they also need to make gold and silver seats for the idols. Although not all made of gold and silver, the inner core is bronze, but the gold and silver consumed after the idols are completed are by no means a small amount. . When the Dionysian Alliance was first established, it was by no means dare to make such a luxurious statue, and today the consumption of these precious metals is only a few days of output in the Iberian and Sardinian mines.
Miliktos was not involved in the production of the remaining processes of the idol. He was focusing on a more important work-making triangle ornaments for the temple.
There is a triangular area under the eaves of the entrances to the two gates of the temple. It is called a triangular ornament. The triangular ornament is inlaid with slate and decorated with relief patterns. Usually its content comes from the story of Greek mythology. In the design of the temple, the discussion of the Senate was: a triangular ornament will sculpt the relief of the mass procession at the Hades celebration, and the other is to sculpt the family of the Dionian family-the king and the two queens And five children (Davies originally proposed to include Adorius and Cynthia, because they are also their own families, but the Senate expressed their strong opposition. They believed that the temple was built and would be offered to future generations for thousands of years. Worship, when the people and descendants of the kingdom see the relief, they will understand that the Dionian royal family is the descendant of the Hades, but the adopted son and daughter are not, engraved, I am afraid it will lead to Hades' wrath.)
With the great prestige of King Daphs and his royal family now, if this relief is not well carved, even if the benevolent king doesn't say anything, the saliva of the people will drown him. Therefore, Miliktos is extremely cautious and specifically asks Dai King Firth took the precious time, took the family as his model, and posed the shape according to his requirements. He spent several days to draw a sketch on the wooden board and gave it to Daphs for review. Firth was satisfied before he took the drawing to the construction site and carved it against it.
The pattern of the triangle ornaments of the Dionian royal family is: Daphs wears a crown, smiles, sits on the throne, is located in the center; the two princesses wear gorgeous robes, and put their hands on Daphs intimately On the shoulders of them, they stood side by side; the five children surrounded them with joy, and Kroto Catax was right in the middle of the five children.
If a careful audience tastes this pattern carefully, he will find that the composition of the king and the princess is almost exactly the same as that of the Pluto and the Queen of the Emperor in the Temple of Light in the Temple of Hades (only one more princess) This is a hint from the priest Prycinus, which makes it more profound.
Miliktos was holding the chisel in one hand and the small hammer in one hand, and was fully engaged in sculpting. This is already the third relief. The first two paintings were not very satisfactory and he destroyed them, but it was also because With the experience of the previous two paintings, he no longer needs to compare the original drawing at all. The entire pattern is already familiar to the chest, so he does not hesitate every time he strikes, and the strength is just right.
Just as he was intoxicated with his creation, a clear female voice came from behind him: "No! No! Carve me too ... well, my eyebrows are not so thin, and the bridge of my nose should be a little taller ... "
Miliktos was pulled out of the immersed world by this voice, and his heart was really annoyed. He turned suddenly and wanted to yell at the intruder who interrupted his work. When he saw two people standing behind him, A beautiful young girl, her anger disappeared, and immediately stood up and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "His Royal Highness Princess Eunice! Her Royal Highness Princess Avia! Welcome you!"
"We are here to worship God Hades. By the way, look at the relief carvings in our house." Yunis stepped forward, pointed at the reliefs, and said politely: "But after watching I feel a little disappointed. This should be me, but I don't feel like me. You carved it too softly. "
"His Royal Highness, although the sculpture is derived from reality, it is usually a glorification of reality. Moreover, this relief is to be admired by the people of the kingdom in the future. I believe that they all want to see a beautiful princess ..." Mi Liktos wanted to convince Yunis that he was so patient because he hadn't just seen the princess in the painting studio before. The princess, who looked like a boy, was famous in Turui, Kelly In order to let her receive her temperament, Princess Stoia started to let her be in touch with some business affairs when she was 16 years old. As a result, the decisive and hot-skinned girl had become her mother's power before she turned 18. As an assistant, Milictos had originally loaned Christosya Bank in order to expand his sculpting workshop in other towns of the Kingdom. He had personally dealt with Unice several times and knew her better.
Yunis frowned, "You mean I'm not beautiful and virtuous ?!"
Miliktos was so nervous, knowing that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly wanted to explain.
Yunis turned her face back and said positively: "You're right, I'm not as delicate and virtuous as other girls, but I don't need to change because that's not me! Just like in your relief Like her, she is completely unlike me. Since you are carving our family, I hope you can truly sculpt my appearance, so I don't want to beautify it! "
"... Sister." Avia felt a little nervous, and pulled Yunis slightly.
别 "Don't make trouble!" Unice pushed away her sister's hand, stared directly at Milictos, and asked, "Do you think I'm right?"
"... Her Royal Highness, you are right ... I will change it again ..." Miliktos actually succumbed ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This opened the mouth of the assistants who were afraid to say a word. .
At this moment, Miliktos suddenly looked behind Unice and shouted, "Master Scepter Priest!"
"Oh, Miliktos." Plessinas, in a white robe, saw the sculptor's eyes for help, waved his hands gently, and walked to Yunis: "His two princesses, You have been waiting for a long time, the temporary temple has been cleaned, and the brazier, lamp, etc. used for worship are all prepared and can begin. "
Unice looked at Miliktos, turning her eyes, and said softly, "I just came here to admire this sculpture with my sister. Master Miliktos carved very well, and I also performed a He also promised me that this sculpture would be better when I come to appreciate it next time, is that so? Master Miliktos. "
"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Miliktos reluctantly responded.
Plessinas looked at the engraving, and then looked at Miliktos. Of course, the experienced he felt that there must be something tricky in it, but he did not explore it, but immediately led the two princesses And the court guards protecting them went to the temporary temple.
Until they completely left, the assistants stood up and said, "Even if she is a princess, you can't interfere with your teacher's creation!"
"It turns out that she is the famous naughty princess of Turui! How clever, how can she get married in the future!"
Uh ...
"Shut up for me, don't want to live anymore! Do me a good job!" Miliktos yelled, and was suddenly quiet.
