In fact, if Yin Lian were here, he could probably tell them that popular culture is still far from faith, and there is no need to be so cautious.
However, in the long run, this kind of popular culture does have the potential to become belief - or belief is not appropriate, and spiritual sustenance would be more accurate. However, such feelings take time to slowly transform, so there is no need to have high expectations at this time.
The holy city is ruled by magicians, and it is foreseeable that people's hearts will be separated, but even so, the priests are still trying their best to maintain and consolidate their faith. They can accept people betraying the church because of power. After all, this is already This is an unstoppable trend. When the church was prosperous, it often used this method to coerce the people.
But they cannot accept that the believers' faith is shaken for such reasons.
This is ridiculous.
A few pictures of beauties with frivolous looks? Do not make jokes.
The church in the Holy City is wary of the gentle methods that the mages suddenly learned - you know, those mages are arrogant and stubborn. They think they have wisdom on par with the gods, and they never care about mortals. It's almost impossible for them to please ordinary people, at least that's what they thought before. But the other party's actions at this time made the church doubt this judgment.
In the Holy City at this time, the believers' awe and fear of the church were already continuing to fade, and the curiosity and desire for drama and portraits further accelerated this process. Although they did not dare to openly discuss the stories about the mages due to the long-term brainwashing course, it was inevitable to secretly collect cards and discuss which one was more handsome and which one was more charming. It's over.
In terms of appearance alone, the Holy City naturally does not like particularly dull hair and eye colors. The image of blond hair and blue eyes is undoubtedly the most popular, so the King of Braves, the King of Knights and individual mages who meet this standard are enthusiastically sought after. However, although there are not many residents of the Holy City who have watched the drama, it is not completely absent. Many people have survived the general storyline and know some of the causes and consequences. Although the script of "The Wizard King" contains a lot of personal information, strictly speaking, it does not fabricate facts, but only extracts a part of history to "complete" it. Therefore, even if it is paraphrased, it will not make people feel that it has distorted the facts, but only You’ll think, “Is this really what it is?”
This undoubtedly further makes it more difficult for the church to clarify.
Even if some people who don't know the truth, if they try to find relevant documents - even documents within the church, they will only feel that the plot is being confirmed rather than overturned.
This leads to an interesting situation starting to occur.
In the Holy City, several girls secretly discussed "The Mage King" in private, and the content of the conversation was obviously deviant.
"For me, I like the King of Braves the most. His confession is simply irresistible. It's so beautiful...and so sincere. I really don't know how Salmati can bear to refuse. If it were me, I would I will never refuse. It’s a pity that I didn’t have the opportunity to see the whole drama directly.”
Another girl curled her lips and said: "What's so good about a drama? Isn't it just praising the mage and then telling the love story of Salmati? The Black Sage's student, the female mage Li An, is exaggeratedly called Shar by them. The incarnation of Matti, and she is the one who wrote and directed this drama. She must have extremely beautified herself and praised the mage in the drama... In my opinion, Salmati is not worthy of the King of Braves at all."
Their friend said: "But Salmati is so beautiful..."
The girl immediately retorted: "This is just a portrait, it must have been beautified. How could a real person be so beautiful?"
A friend said: "On the day the Master came, many people saw Li An himself. Mrs. Ryan also saw it. She told me privately that Mr. Li An was completely 'indescribable beauty in the world.' Except for his black hair and black eyes, he was very beautiful. It’s a bit scary, but it’s so beautiful that even women can’t help but be moved by it.”
The girl stammered and retorted: "That...that must...be the effect of magic."
When the friend saw how stubborn the other person was, he immediately stopped talking.
The first girl said: "If possible, I would also like to meet Li An. Anyone who can draw such a beautiful painting must also be a beauty."
The second girl suddenly became angry and said, "Why do you say that too!?"
In order to avoid starting a war, someone hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Actually, he is blond and the King of Knights is also very handsome."
As a result, the three girls across from him almost said in unison: "I don't like him!" "How handsome is he?" "It's too far."
Then they looked at each other.
"..."
Then the girls explained: "The King of Knights is simply a puppet of the church, much worse than the King of Braves!"
"Actually, I have read a little bit of church history, and many of the things the King of Knights said in it are true. The Church of Light has many records of 'holy war'. My grandma secretly told me that they used to use it to arrest people. The cruel methods used to arrest mages, and some people are not mages at all, but because of conflicts of interest with the Church of Light, they will be slandered as mages..."
"The Church of Light is really bad."
"It's very scary... let's not talk about this. What if there are still people from the Church of Light in the city..." The girl who said this was already shuddering.
In the end, the girls reached a consensus: none of them like the King of Knights.
In contrast, the nobles of other countries accepted the image of the Knight King well. Unexpectedly, the popularity of the Knight King in the Holy City has reached rock bottom, but it has a good reputation in the City of Sages, although... it cannot be compared with the Mage King.
To be fair, the mages are not kind people, nor are they able to resist or make sacrifices in the face of oppression by the church. As mages from the City of Sages, they were able to follow the rise of the Black Sage in the darkest era, gain a foothold on the mainland, and in turn force the Holy City to fall apart. They have no fear of the Church of Light. Even if they did, they would have been destroyed long ago. Get over it or let it go.
Therefore, from the standpoint of the enemy, they can have some composure as victors, and generously recognize the viciousness and decisiveness of the King of Knights, thinking that he is worthy of being a hero.
The attitude of the mages is shown, and the people below are not very taboo about the King of Knights. And among so many people, there will always be some who choose to be different and appreciate the heroic demeanor of the King of Knights. Even if there are only a few people, it is conspicuous enough.
Therefore, the mainland has formed a very strange and ridiculous atmosphere.
The Holy City hates the King of Knights very much and keeps it secret. On the contrary, in the City of Sages, people often openly talk about the King of Knights' style, and even express understanding or sympathy for it.
Although this scene is ridiculous, it is thought-provoking.
In contrast, other parts of the mainland had a much more unanimous response, and they were just struggling over whether to watch "The Black Sage".
But then, the auction will start after the drama ends, and the news of a series of treasures being auctioned will undoubtedly increase the stakes of the "participation" option.
On the day of the play, nobles from all over the world came in almost swarms. Those who couldn't buy tickets bought them at high prices from the common people who had already bought tickets, which directly contributed to the emergence of the first batch of scalpers in the City of Sages.
On the opening day, the blocks near the theater were decorated to look like Christmas - it was already the cold winter season, but these decorations still made the nobles feel strange. There is no similar festival in Matir itself, and this Western-style decoration is well accepted by everyone.
The inspiration for these decorations actually comes from a certain experience that the Black Sage himself recounted.
When the City of Sages was first built, a group of not very powerful mages gathered together. They were chased by the Holy City, and many of their companions died one after another. Later, a group of young mages relied on their hatred for the world and their desire for a new life to defeat the many with less. They relied on a lose-lose tactic to kill the pursuers of the church. Killer. They gathered in a dilapidated countryside with wounds all over their bodies. Then there was a seriously injured female mage. In the absence of magic power, she used a wood magic very willfully to make a small piece grow in the ice and snow. green grass.
They set up a hut on that small piece of green space and held a very reluctant party.
The female mage died in the attack on the Holy City the following year. She was too gentle and kind, so she didn't live long in the end. In this world, it is easier for ruthless people to survive, especially for mages. Kindness is an unnecessary cost of survival, so she finally died in the same winter to protect the underage mage.
Yin Lian didn't know what kind of banquet venue they had arranged at that time, but when she heard this past event, all she could imagine was the holly trees in the snow. In fact, this arrangement is much more beautiful than before, but for the few mages who have experienced the past events and are still alive, it is enough to make them remember the past.
...This is a very strange thing. Mages often do not deliberately look back on the past. Sometimes it's because the past was too bleak, sometimes it's because the past lacked value. They are so rational and will not be easily shaken by the past.
But this day, this situation, this scene really evoked some people's memories of the past.
"Kaijia! What are you doing!?"
"...Let's celebrate this victory."
"At times like this, don't waste your magic power!"
"It's not a waste." The female mage stood up and said, "The future is too long, and we don't know where the road ahead is. So sometimes, I think we need to stop a little and replenish some strength before we can continue to move forward. .”
"Mange, everyone is tired, we need a banquet."
