Celestial Mage

Chapter 186 Gallery can really purify the soul! (twenty four)

Temple apse.

When Rosen opened his eyes, he found that he was still kneeling on the futon in front of the statue, while the Priest Faol was drinking tea on a chair by the wall.

"Master Priest, how long has it been?"

"Not long, just half an hour."

"Oh~~"

He felt like he had been reincarnated for more than ten lives.

Rubbing his swollen forehead, he got up, walked to the chair beside the officiant, and sat down. He also poured himself a cup of tea, took a few sips, and then leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

It was so exciting just now, he felt that it would take several days to fully recover.

Priest Fao didn't say a word, and it was obvious that he had expected Rosen to be in such a state for a long time.

After sitting in silence for more than ten minutes, Rosen felt that his body was much more comfortable, and his tense spirit gradually slowed down, so he let out a sigh of relief.

Faol's gentle voice sounded immediately.

"Master Rosen, I have been the officiant for more than ten years, and I have seen many mages come to experience the grace of Zhongxiao, and you have persisted the longest, hehe~"

Rosen's heart moved slightly, and he asked with a smile: "Are there many mages who want to use God's grace to improve their spellcasting ability?"

"The first choice probably accounts for [-]% or [-]%. The second time, only [-]% is left, and the third time is almost half."

"This last Incomplete Mage will last until about ten times before dropping again."

Rosen recalled his previous experience and sighed: "Speaking of it, it is indeed very cruel, and it is not something ordinary mages can bear."

Faol nodded: "Although I haven't experienced it personally, I have heard some from mages who have experienced it."

He took a sip of his tea and changed his mind.

"However, mages who can persevere for a long time have spellcasting stars above 10 stars. For example, Mage Fuller, he has persisted for about 25 times, and now he has become a 14-star mage."

"Bilgu also came here, and he persisted 20 times, so he became a 13-star mage."

"But the most powerful one lasted 48 times. Do you know who it is?"

Rosen shrugged: "Except for the Earl, I can't think of anyone else with such tenacity."

Fao just laughed: "Yes, it is the earl. When he was young, the earl had a soul that was tougher than eternal frozen kryptonite, and his fanatical pursuit of magic was even frightening."

"Everyone thought she could become an extraordinary mage. It's a pity."

It is indeed a pity, but it is also the earl's own choice.

It can only be said that she is still a little short of the requirements of becoming an extraordinary archmage.

The priest Fao said again: "Master Rosen, God values ​​you very much. In the future, unless it is particularly necessary, you don't have to go out to perform dangerous missions."

Rosen nodded: "Okay."

Since he can quickly and effectively improve his spellcasting ability through divine grace, he naturally doesn't bother to waste time and energy running around.

Then, he began to talk about his other main purpose of coming to the temple.

"Master Priest, I want to open a gallery in Silvermoon Castle."

Fao nodded, and took another sip of tea: "The gallery is good, clean and elegant, it is a palace of art."

"No, I want to open a pornographic gallery."

'poof~~'

Priest Fao took a sip of tea, didn't care to wipe it, and stared at Rosen with a serious face.

"Master Rosen, you are now a divine grace mage, have you forgotten that you need to have high morals to serve the gods?"

"I know, but mortals are always imperfect and always have desires."

"I just want to open a pornographic gallery, so that believers can satisfy their desires in the gallery. It's better than going to a brothel, right?"

Seeing that the officiant Fao didn't speak, Rosen immediately knew there was something going on.

He continued to persuade.

"I've already thought of the name of the gallery, it's called 'Purification of the Mind' Gallery."

"Every gentleman who enters the gallery to enjoy the pornographic paintings must buy a confession coupon from the temple as a ticket. In addition, I will give [-]% of the gallery's income to the temple."

The officiant Fao was silent, but his brows twitched, obviously his heart moved.

After all, Luo Sen has a great reputation, his painting skills are also high, and his paintings are quite valuable for collection. It is entirely conceivable that the gallery business will be very good.

It also costs money to run a temple, and it's not a lot.

The gods did not reimburse them, so the priests had to figure out their own way.

The priest's method is naturally to extract money from believers, but how much money can ordinary believers extract?

Therefore, the real bulk of income comes from the temple mages.

Lawson can provide a lot of income, and Faol is naturally attracted to it.

Rosen made persistent efforts.

"Officer, I know that some of my past paintings were too explicit and challenged the moral bottom line of the people, so I decided to improve."

Fao immediately asked, "How?"

"I will try my best to restrain the paintings that are publicly exhibited in the gallery. I will never expose hidden organs, and the theme is to show the beauty of human health."

Faol became more interested: "Healthy beauty?"

Both health and beauty are good words.

Although it is a bit weird to put it on pornographic paintings, there is always a period of adaptation when a new statement comes out. After a long time, more people say it, and everyone accepts it.

Rosen explained in detail.

"A man's strong chest muscles, thick arms and thighs, and a tall physique all give people a sense of cohesive strength and the strength of life, right?"

"Yes."

"Similarly, a woman's white and smooth skin, smooth and undulating body curves like hills, delicate and soft facial features, and thick hair will also reveal a strong femininity, which will make people feel a sense of love for pregnant women. The beautiful yearning of the living, right?"

"That's right."

"Then my erotic paintings are dedicated to displaying such themes to reflect the beauty of life, without any twisted, dark, and crime-inducing details."

Faol frowned, some didn't understand.

"But it's still a pornographic painting."

Rosen naturally has something to say.

He said softly: "Although the theme of pornography does challenge public morals, the pleasure of men and women is an unavoidable behavior in daily life, and it is also a necessity for reproduction."

"Then since it's unavoidable, why bother to escape?"

"Why don't you actively guide people to feel the sunshine, warmth, and health of life, so as to occupy the space where the devil tempts mortals, isn't it just to purify the soul?"

Priest Faol was shocked by what he said, and fell into long-term contemplation.

After a long time, he nodded slowly: "Master Rosen, your idea is very subtle, and it is a great insight into the nature of mortals!"

"What about opening a gallery?"

The officiant Fao said: "It's useless to just talk, you can draw a proof for me now."

After a pause, he added: "I have seen most of your previous paintings. Don't get me wrong. I read them with a scrutiny eye. Those paintings are too much, and they are really not suitable for display in a semi-public gallery!"

Rosen understands.

He took out a pen and paper from his purse, localized the Earth's "Venus Rising from the Sea", renamed it "Wife Bathing in the Lake", and started printing.

After finishing the painting quickly, hand the painting to the officiant Faol.

"What do you think of this style?"

The officiant Faol took it, and went up to take a closer look.

After watching it for a few seconds, I suddenly realized something, and explained in a low voice: "I'm getting older, and my eyesight is not as good as that of young people."

Rosen nodded to express his understanding, but he despised it in his heart.

'Everyone is presbyopic when they are old, but you are short-sighted. You are worthy of being a servant of God. "

After watching it for a while, the officiant Fao nodded: "If it's this style of painting, it's acceptable."

"Of course, because this is the latest trend, and new things will always be questioned by the public, if the temple grants you a business license, it is likely to bear a huge moral hazard."

Morality, in essence, is a summary of past life experience, and tradition is a synonym.

It is actually not a good thing for the divine mage Bi Legu to open a brothel, but because brothels have existed since ancient times and have thousands of years of tradition, people generally accept it.

Yanhua is actually not new, what is new is Lawson's painting style.

His painting style is too exciting and realistic, and it is easy to touch the sensitive nerves of moral gentlemen.

Naturally, Rosen knew that the officiant was right, so he asked, "Then what do you mean?"

"Thirty percent!"

Rosen nodded without hesitation: "That's [-]%."

It doesn't matter if there are too many shares, it is equivalent to getting the strong protection of the temple, and others will not dare to provoke them easily.

Then there's the matter of Sharina.

Rosen said logically, "Officer, I have a small request."

"Say it directly."

"I hope that Ms. Xia Lina will be responsible for the matchmaking of the gallery"

"Ok?"

Priest Faol looked up at Rosen, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Rosen didn't intend to hide it too much, he said softly: "Xia Lina is a girl. Although she is very strong, she is not too young now, and performing field duties is hard and dangerous. As a comrade in arms who fought side by side with her, I feel very heartbroken. .”

After a pause, he added: "I just hope it's easier for her."

As for the matter of Feilin becoming the captain, he doesn't need to mention it, the temple will definitely arrange it.Because it's a matter of course.

It can be seen that Faol's priest also has the same idea.

He nodded and agreed.

He asked curiously again: "Actually, I always thought that Sharina should be a priest instead of a warrior, but she is stubborn and refuses to be persuaded. How did you convince her?"

Of course, Rosen couldn't say the real reason, even if the algorithm guessed it, he couldn't admit it.

Because there are some things that can be done but cannot be said, and no actual evidence can be given to people, otherwise everyone will be ashamed.

In many cases, it is very important to maintain a bright surface.

So, he replied seriously.

"Master Priest, the years will change the mind. As the age grows, the blood gradually becomes milder, and people will gradually realize what they really need."

"And I just helped Miss Xia Lina realize this."

Fao's eyes flashed slightly, as if he realized something, he nodded and said, "Then, take good care of her for God."

"I will."

Thus, the matter of the "purification of the soul" gallery was finalized.

Before leaving, the officiant of Fao reminded: "Don't forget the divine grace once every three months."

"I won't forget."

Everything else can be forgotten, and he will not delay this matter for a moment.
