Master Tongtian

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

The apse of the temple.

When Rosen opened his eyes, he found that he was still kneeling on the futon in front of the statue, while the priest Fa'ao was sitting on a chair by the wall drinking tea.

"Master Priest, how long has it been?"

"It didn't take long, just half an hour."

"Oh~~"

He felt as if he had been reincarnated for more than ten lifetimes.

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

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

Priest Fa'ao didn't say anything either. It was obvious that he had expected Rosen to be in such a state.

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

The gentle voice of Priest Faao sounded immediately.

"Mr. Rosen, I have been the chief priest for more than ten years. I have seen many mages come to experience the divine grace. You have persisted the longest, haha~"

Rosen's heart moved slightly and he asked with a smile: "Are there many mages who want to use divine grace to improve their spell-casting abilities?"

"The first choice accounts for about 80% to 90%. The second time, only 30% is left, and the third time, it's almost half."

"This last half-mage will continue until about ten times before it declines again."

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

Fa'ao nodded: "Although I have not experienced it personally, I have heard some words from mages who have experienced it."

He took a sip of tea and changed his tone.

"However, the mages who can persevere for a long time all cast spells with a star level of 10 or above. For example, Master Fuller, he persisted about 25 times, and now he has become a 14-star mage."

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

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

Rosen shrugged: "Except for the Count, I can't think of anyone else with such a tenacious spirit."

Fao smiled: "Yes, it's the Count. When he was young, the Count had a soul tougher than frozen kryptonite, and his fanatical pursuit of magic even made people scared."

"Everyone thinks she can become an extraordinary mage. It's a pity."

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

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

Priest Fa'ao added: "Master Rosen, God values ​​you very much. From now on, unless it is particularly necessary, there is no need to go out to perform dangerous missions."

Rosen nodded: "Okay."

Since he can quickly and effectively improve his spellcasting ability through divine grace, he is naturally too lazy 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 Silver Moon Castle."

Fa'ao nodded and took another sip of tea: "The gallery is great. It is noble and elegant. It is a palace of art."

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

‘Poof~~’

Priest Fa'ao squirted out a sip of tea and didn't bother to wipe it. He stared at Rosen with a serious look on his face.

"Mr. Rosen, you are now the Divine Grace Mage. Have you forgotten that serving God requires high moral standards?"

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

"I just want to open a erotic painting gallery so that believers can satisfy their desires in the gallery. This is better than going to a brothel, right?"

Seeing that Priest Fa'ao didn't say anything, Rosen immediately knew something was going on.

He continued to persuade.

“I’ve already thought of the name of the gallery, it’s called ‘Purify the Soul’ Gallery.”

"Every gentleman who enters the gallery to appreciate pornographic paintings must purchase a confession ticket from the temple as a ticket. In addition, I will give 20% of the gallery's income to the temple."

Priest Fa'ao remained silent, but his brows twitched, showing that his heart was moved.

After all, Rosen is famous, his painting skills are also high, and his paintings are highly collectible. It is completely conceivable that the gallery business will be very good.

Running a temple also costs money, and it's quite a lot.

God won’t reimburse you, so you have to rely on the officiating priests to figure out their own solutions.

The officiant'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 temple mages.

Lawson can provide a lot of income, so Faao is naturally attracted.

Rosen keeps up the good work.

"Priest, I know that some of my past paintings were too explicit and really challenged people's moral bottom line, so I decided to improve them."

Faao immediately asked: "How to change it?"

"In the paintings that are publicly displayed in the gallery, I will try to be restrained and never expose the hidden organs, and the theme will be to show the health and beauty of the human body."

Faao became even more interested: "Healthy beauty?"

Whether it’s health or beauty, they are both good words.

Although it is a bit strange to put it on pornographic paintings, there is always an adaptation period when a new statement comes out. As time goes by and more people say it, everyone will accept it.

Rosen explained in detail.

"A man's strong chest muscles, thick arms and thighs, and tall body will give people a sense of concentrated strength and make them feel strong in life, right?"

"That's right."

"Similarly, a woman's fair and smooth skin, her body curves as smooth and undulating as hills, her exquisite and soft facial features, and her head of thick hair will also reveal a strong sense of femininity and create a sense of nurturing in people's hearts. The beautiful yearning of life, right?"

"That's right."

"Then my erotic paintings are dedicated to showing such themes to reflect the beauty of life, without any distortion, darkness, or criminally inducing details."

Fao frowned, not understanding.

"But it's still a pornographic painting."

Of course Rosen has something to say.

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

"Then if it can't be avoided, why bother escaping?"

"How about actively guiding people to feel the sunshine, warmth and health of life, thereby occupying the space where the devil tempts mortals? Isn't that purifying the soul?"

Priest Fa'ao was shocked by what he said and fell into deep thought for a long time.

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?"

Priest Fa'ao said: "It's useless to just say it. You can draw a proof and show it to me."

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

Rosen understands.

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

After finishing the painting quickly, he handed the erotic painting to the officiant Faao.

"What do you think of this style?"

Priest Fa'ao took it and got closer to take a closer look.

After looking at it for a few seconds, I suddenly realized something and explained in a low voice: "I am old and my eyes are not as good as those of young people."

Rosen nodded to express his understanding, but felt contempt in his heart.

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

After looking at it for a while, Priest Fa'ao nodded: "If it's this style of painting, it's acceptable."

"Of course, because this is the latest trend, and new things will always face public doubts, if the temple issues you a business license, it is likely to bear huge moral risks."

Morality is essentially a summary of past life experience, and is synonymous with tradition.

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

Pornographic paintings are actually not new. What is new is Rosen’s style of painting.

His painting style is so exciting and realistic that it can easily touch the sensitive nerves of moral gentlemen.

Rosen naturally knew that the officiant was right, so he asked, "What do you mean?"

"Thirty percent!"

Rosen nodded without hesitation: "Then 30%."

Even if you give more shares, it is equivalent to getting strong protection from the temple, and others will not dare to provoke you easily.

Then there is the matter of Sharina.

Rosen said smoothly: "Priest, I have a small request."

"Say it directly."

"I hope that Ms. Sharina will personally take charge of the gallery connection."

"Um?"

Priest Fa'ao looked up at Rosen, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Rosen didn't intend to hide it too much. He said softly: "Sha Lina is a girl. Although she is very strong, she is not young now. Field work is hard and dangerous. As a comrade who fights alongside her, I feel very heartbroken." .”

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

As for Feilin becoming the captain, there is no need for him to mention it. The temple will definitely arrange it. Because it is a natural thing.

It can be seen that the chief priest of Faao also has the same idea.

He nodded and agreed.

He asked curiously: "Actually, I have always thought that Sharina should be a priest instead of a warrior. It's just that she has a stubborn personality and refuses to listen to advice. How did you convince her?"

Of course, Rosen couldn't tell the real reason, and even if Faao guessed it, he couldn't admit it.

Because there are some things that can only be done but cannot be said, and people cannot get actual evidence, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed.

Many times, it is important to maintain a bright appearance.

So he replied seriously.

"Master Priest, time will change your mind. As you get older and your blood becomes gentler, people will gradually realize what they really need."

"And I just helped Miss Sharina realize this."

Fa'ao's eyes flashed slightly, as if he realized something, and nodded: "Then, take care of her for God."

"I will."

Thus, the matter of the ‘Purifying Soul’ gallery was finalized.

Before leaving, Priest Fa'ao reminded: "Don't forget the grace of God once every three months."

"I won't forget it."

He could forget everything else, he wouldn't waste a moment on this matter.
