Chapter 522: Durin Theological Seminary
Just like the seminaries in other countries, the seminary in the Kingdom of England was also built by the Orthodox Church. However, the seminary in the Kingdom of England was also divided into two campuses due to the relocation of the capital, and the seminary in Dulin was
It was built entirely by the royal family. Even the administrators and clergy teachers of the seminary were appointed by the royal family. The theology taught here is mainly based on the teachings of the Poseidon Church of England and has nothing to do with the Orthodox Church.
Although the Orthodox Church where Durin Theological Seminary was built has made various protests more than once, and even recalled all the clergy assigned to Saran Theological Seminary, as if it wanted to close Saran Theological Seminary, in the end the Orthodox Church
The Imperial Court still compromised. Compared to the Kingdom of England, which was at its peak, the Orthodox Court, which had already sunk into the sunset, naturally had no way to compete, not to mention that the sea had never been within the influence of the Orthodox Court.
Because of this, the seminary in Dulin is also called the royal seminary. The people who study there are mainly members of the British royal family, and other countries that have good relations with the Kingdom of England will also send their own powerful children.
Studying in the seminary here brought us closer to the Kingdom of England.
The original location for the construction of the Theological Seminary in Durin was in the center of the city of Durin, but the Parliament used the previously issued capital construction order as an excuse to try to interfere with the construction of the Theological Seminary. For this reason, the royal family had to abandon the selected city center address.
, chose to build a seminary on the outskirts of the city.
What people didn't expect was that this helpless choice actually made Dulin Theological Seminary become the most important city landmark of Dulin.
Perhaps out of anger or other reasons, when the royal family built Dulin Theological Seminary, it was built exactly like the underwater megalithic city where the legendary Poseidon lived, and some of the best architects in the world at that time were invited to build it.
Some things in the city that were too inconsistent with ordinary people's aesthetics were removed, and some special gardens and sculptures were added, finally completing this unique seminary.
However, what really makes Dulin Theological Seminary famous is not the weird architectural style that can be seen everywhere in the seminary, but some weird things that happened during the construction of the seminary and after the completion of the seminary.
During the construction of the seminary, more than one construction worker saw an extremely weird and huge figure appearing in the unfinished seminary late at night, and without exception, these people fell ill afterwards and had high fevers.
A few people died of the illness directly, and those who recovered also had their brains burned out due to high fever, and they became confused and crazy.
At that time, some people spread the news that what the construction workers saw was the incarnation of the god of the sea. However, people could not look directly at the gods, so their souls were hurt the moment they saw the incarnation of the gods, which is why they later became ill.
Regarding this kind of rumor, the royal family immediately responded and refuted the rumor as soon as it appeared, but the effect was not very good. Compared with the series of boring official statements released by the royal family, this kind of mysterious rumor
It's easier to catch people's attention.
What is strange is that the royal family's response to such rumors that may affect the construction progress of the seminary was only to issue some clarification statements, and then took no further action, nor did they trace the source of the rumors, etc. This is
This also led some people to speculate later that these rumors may have been spread by the royal family themselves, in order to re-establish the belief in Poseidon in this era when gods disappeared.
However, this strange thing that happened to construction workers was not widely spread. It was only circulated in the Kingdom of England. Many people regarded it as some interesting anecdotes such as urban legends.
What really made the reputation of Dulin Theological Seminary spread all over the world was actually the architectural designers and engineers who participated in the construction of the city.
According to statistics, not counting those in the Kingdom of England, Dulin Theological Seminary invited a total of more than 30 architectural designers and engineers from all over the world to participate in the construction of the seminary. These architectural designers and engineers are mainly responsible for the construction of the city.
transformation work.
Because the seminary was built to imitate the legendary underwater city where Poseidon lived, the buildings were very majestic and tall. Only giants could live in such buildings. They were not suitable for ordinary humans to live at all, so the interiors of all the buildings needed to be renovated.
It is suitable for ordinary people to live in. In addition, there are too many reliefs and patterns on the outside of these buildings that are not in line with human aesthetics, so these things also need to be modified.
These more than 30 architectural designers are all very famous architects in the world of Velen. It is very simple for them to transform the building. In fact, it is true. It only took them less than half a year to complete it.
All the buildings in the seminary have been renovated.
After receiving a generous commission from the royal family, these more than thirty architectural designers left the Kingdom of England and returned to their respective countries.
Three months later, news came one after another that the architects involved in the reconstruction of Dulin Theological Seminary suddenly went crazy, and not just one, but all the more than thirty architects, and these buildings
Without exception, all teachers had auditory and visual hallucinations before going crazy.
In the past three months, all of them had mentioned to people around them more than once that they heard a murmur accompanied by the waves, and they had all seen a huge figure towering in the city late at night, and then
Everyone became neurotic and eventually went completely crazy.
Afterwards, someone investigated and found that before each of these architects went crazy, they had written all over their notes, books, and even walls with a kind of twisted and weird-looking writing, which made anyone feel a little frightened after seeing it.
At that time, some people speculated that the architects' unauthorized renovation of Poseidon City offended the gods and thus they were cursed by the gods. However, the problem was that the only architects who encountered the unexpected event were not from the Kingdom of England, and other Kingdoms from the Kingdom of England who participated in the renovation project
None of the architects were affected in any way.
And then again, if it is really going to be cursed by Poseidon, then shouldn’t the royal family who let these architects transform the architectural style of Poseidon City deserve to be cursed the most?
This incident made a big fuss in the world of Velen at that time, and Durin Theological Seminary was also called a cursed place. These rumors even affected the British Parliament. Some members of Congress have begun to propose stopping the construction of Durin Theological Seminary, and even
Completely demolish the previously built parts.
As the center of the whirlpool, the royal family seemed very calm. They neither came out to refute the rumors nor sent anyone to investigate the source of the rumors. They just went their own way and completed the construction of Dulin Theological Seminary bit by bit, and tried their best to defy all opinions and let the people at that time.
The crown prince and other royal children moved into Durin Theological Seminary under the leadership of the Poseidon Church.
After these people moved into Dulin Theological Seminary, nothing unusual happened. On the contrary, because the environment of Dulin Theological Seminary was very comfortable and beautiful, they all lived very comfortably.
This move of the Inge royal family virtually shattered the rumor completely. The storm soon passed, and the reputation of Durin Theological Seminary spread to all countries in the world of Velen.
Originally, this incident should have passed with the passage of time, but soon after, the homes and studios of more than 30 architectural designers were stolen and vandalized. The stolen items were all the designers' work notes, and the vandalism
The only ones are the walls of houses covered with twisted writing.
The police from various countries who investigated this matter felt that this matter should be related to the Kingdom of England, but due to various reasons, they did not continue the investigation. In the end, the matter completely calmed down, and only the reputation of Dulin Theological Seminary was retained.
Dulin Theological Seminary has always been in Leo's plan. Even without the matter of Panier's deputy envoy, Leo would make a special trip to Dulin Theological Seminary after arriving in Dulin, for no other reason.
Just to see what the city where Poseidon lives is like.
When Dulin was built, road driving issues were taken into consideration. Therefore, under the design of engineers, the road was widened a lot. The original plan only required four carriages to run in parallel. However, after three reconstructions, the road was finally shaped to be able to
The width of twelve carriages running in parallel.
The carriage traveled very fast on such a road, and in less than half an hour it had crossed the city of Turin and reached the suburbs.
After entering the suburbs, the road not only did not become narrower, nor did the road condition get worse, but it became wider. It could already accommodate 22 cars parallel to each other, and there were more statues on both sides of the road. Without exception, these statues were all owned by gods.
The statue is also a disguised reminder that visitors have entered the scope of the seminary.
Dulin Theological Seminary is more of a school city than a college. The college also felt this, so they began to submit proposals to Congress, hoping to separate Dulin Theological Seminary from Dulin and become a separate institution.
Administrative regions.
After entering the seminary, Leo didn't feel anything strange, but thinking about it, if it was so easy to sense abnormal situations, then the Special Bureau would have already settled here, and the children of the royal family and various countries would not be like now.
Children of powerful people came here to study.
Although it is during the holiday, there are not many people in the college. The powerful children from other countries did not go back, but chose to stay in the seminary. Most of these powerful children brought a large number of servants and servants, plus
Some other people who specialize in serving these powerful children make the city outside the seminary still very lively.
The carriage stopped steadily at the main entrance of the seminary. After Leo got off the car and paid the fare, he walked directly into the seminary.
Unlike the Royal Academy, which requires a pass to enter, the Theological Seminary is much more relaxed in this regard. As long as they are not causing trouble, even civilians can enter the Theological Seminary to observe various courses, and even participate in the monthly Poseidon Church.
Mass, which also made the seminary very popular with the poor people of Durin.
After entering the seminary, Leo did not immediately go to the specific area where the powerful children of various countries lived, but walked towards the temples directly opposite the gate.
The temples of Dulin Theological Seminary are definitely the most eye-catching buildings in the entire seminary, and even in the whole of Dulin. This building is directly hollowed out of a hill, with the mountain as the main structure of the building, and the nearly 100-meter tall building is built step by step.
The hill was transformed into a pantheon.
There are a total of more than 700 statues of gods here, including almost all kinds of gods in the entire world of Velen from ancient times to the present. Some of these gods really exist, and some are just legends. In addition, there are also rumors that there are people under this temple.
There is also an underground palace similar to the one above. The statues there are all evil gods that are not recognized by the Orthodox Church.
Leo came to the gate of the temple. The nearly six-meter-high gate and the bronze door panel made Leo couldn't help but think of the giant's house on Yam Island. It seemed that in terms of size alone, the temple was no better than the giant's house.
The housing is poor.
On both sides of the gate are two giant statues supporting the eaves of the entire gate. These two giants represent the two legendary gods. There is a legend handed down in the Kingdom of Maris, which mentions that the entire world was created by two giants.
The gods are carried on shoulders and held in the air to prevent the world from being submerged by the endless sea below.
These two gods are only local legends of the Kingdom of Maris and have not been recognized by the Orthodox Church. Even the Kingdom of Maris has no related churches for these two gods. But even so, these two legendary gods are still
It was carved here and became the first deity that could be seen in the pantheon. This led some people to speculate that the royal family of England designed the placement of the statues in a deliberate way to demonstrate to the Orthodox Church.
The relationship between the Yingge royal family and the Orthodox Church is not good, because when the Yingge royal family claimed that they were favored by Poseidon in the early days, the Orthodox Church did not recognize the existence of Poseidon in this world, but it also did not say that the Poseidon that the Yingge royal family believed in was an evil god.
.
However, even if the Orthodox Church did not classify Poseidon as an evil god, many people at that time deliberately distorted the Orthodox Church's statement and classified the Ying royal family as a follower of the evil god, thereby damaging the reputation of the Ying royal family.
The Poseidon Scepter of the Georgian royal family was lost at that time.
Later, through a series of negotiations, the British royal family agreed to the Orthodox Church building a seminary in Salan, and the Orthodox Church recognized the Poseidon faith.
Although the matter seemed to be resolved, in fact the royal family's resentment towards the Orthodox Church had never diminished, and they had always wanted to find opportunities to retaliate against the Orthodox Church. Until the emergence of the Dulin Theological Seminary, the royal family simply put aside all dissatisfaction with the Orthodox Church.
On the bright side.
Although the Parliament was a little worried about such a drastic move by the royal family, it did not say anything. After all, the Parliament of the Kingdom of England was also very dissatisfied with the Orthodox Church. When the Orthodox Church was strong, it was not less involved in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of England.
Pointing fingers.
Leo paused for a moment in front of the temple, which was full of resentment between the royal family and the Orthodox Church, and then stepped into it.
The interior of the temples is very large, consisting of fifteen temples. Each temple is cone-shaped, surrounded by spiral successions, extending to the top. On the stone wall next to the stairs, there are shrines, each one
