And the woman's hanging hands seemed to confirm this. She didn't care about life or death.
This makes people have to speculate on who of the two is in a more dangerous situation.
Speaking of the background of the painting, it seems to be in the world when chaos first emerged, or the scene of a volcanic eruption. It is difficult to specify exactly what kind of environment it is. This has completely deviated from the current academic approach. But the picture is extremely tense. The rolling red flames and the quiet dark green sky are intertwined, creating a majestic and strange atmosphere. Here I have to admire Alvin's brilliance. He handled the relationship between the front and back of the space very properly. The background was not too eye-catching, and the sense of distance was clearly conveyed. While showing off his skills, he did not forget the oil painting. The relationship between distance and distance in nature makes the background a perfect foil for the man and woman.
Thinking of this, Onian finally understood why the elder named Riya asked Alvin to paint the dome painting. Not only did Alvin have the ability to vividly capture the souls of others, as she lamented in the town of Bellamar at that time, but more profoundly, he also had the talent to give life to characters.
Just like the painting in front of you, the changes in light and shadow are more than just a painting. The man and the woman are simply two living characters. It can even be said that these two people are living in front of you. "It's moving."
In general, this dome painting is full of religious metaphors, the look in the eyes of a man and a woman, their relationship, the silk scarf that seems to cover the couple's breasts, and the elusive heaven and earth. . . But overall, it seems that all this is just telling a story openly and honestly.
Faced with such a masterpiece, Onian was also temporarily distracted.
For a moment, she couldn't find any words of praise, not because she was short of words, but because she really didn't want to praise someone like Alvin and the look of shame on his face.
"How's it going? Do you admire me?" Alvin couldn't wait for Onian's praise, and he was so shameless that he began to boast. He also felt smug that he was thinking about Onian, after all, the girl was too embarrassed to speak.
"Yeah. Not bad." O'Nian nodded and expressed her praise appropriately. The restraint on her face seemed to emphasize her "layman" status. The word "not bad" is just a kind of politeness. Just a reply.
Someone is angry.
This exiled princess always finds ways to make Alvin so angry that he jumps off his feet.
"Why do I feel more and more as I look...that this woman looks like me?" O'Nian continued to stare at the woman in the painting and asked.
"Huh, what? A good-looking girl has to look like you? Or do you think every beautiful girl I draw is you? Stop being so pretty." Alvin replied angrily.
"Oh~" Aonian said with a smile and turned to look at him, "You just mean what you say. Otherwise, as soon as you finish the painting, you can't wait to bring me to see it?"
"Huh." Alvin didn't defend himself.
Of course, speaking from facts, Onian and the woman in the painting are just similar in spirit. In order to distinguish him, Alvin deliberately did not draw Onian's iconic snow-covered hair, but replaced it with a head of black and shiny hair. However, it remains to be seen whether there is any suspicion of concealment. And know it.
Of course, there is no way of knowing what Alvin was thinking.
Because he never mentioned the meaning of the painting to anyone. He always felt that there was no need to explain this to anyone.

This is true both for the universal church and for passers-by. In his opinion, this is all he needs to show the world, and how people understand it is none of his business.
-------------------------------------------------- -------
Things like fate are sometimes difficult to explain clearly. You don't know when disaster will hit you, and you don't know when you will get the best of it. Regarding this point, Alvin should have quite a say.
To be honest, he didn't have much hope for the universal church's acceptance. He even wondered if Riya and others would fall out on the spot after seeing it. Because he never felt that anyone in the world could really understand what he wanted to express. If the bishops were dissatisfied and wanted to shovel it out and find someone to paint it again, he would not have any objection, but Looney would not return it.
However, during the acceptance inspection tomorrow, something unexpected happened.
When the huge canvas was unveiled, the church was in an uproar and looked at each other.
After all, many clergymen have never seen such a work. Fortunately, only the bishop of this diocese and a few priests came to inspect it today. If ordinary people saw it, they might be shocked.
Everyone couldn't help but whisper. They carefully recalled every allusion in "The Admonitions of the Universal Master", but they could not find any content related to this painting.
Apart from the content, such a bold and even explicit expression is not acceptable to these dogmatic priests.
As for why these priests did not say anything to Alvin at this time, it was not because of their high level of cultivation, but because Alvin was found by the elders of Riya. There is a suspicion of making things difficult.
Alvin looked at the group of priests with different expressions on their faces. He couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart and sneered: "In the still water of human nature, there is always such a sharp contrast. Everyone looks sanctimonious, but this gang People don’t understand that what they do is what they think, and the more filthy the thoughts in their minds at this time, the less serious they usually are.”
However, among this group of people, only one person said nothing.
That is Elder Riya. He stared at the painting on the dome with a solemn expression for a long time, and then his expression gradually became crazy. His eyes widened as if he had seen the universal god himself, as if he had seen the god coming. After a while, his eyes filled with tears, and he murmured something: "This is it, this is it, I have been waiting for so many years." , this is it..."
Ji'ao, the "little freckle" on the side, looked at Liya like this in surprise. In his impression, this elder had always been calm and restrained. He had never seen him lose his temper like this before. Originally, according to Ji'ao's status, he was not qualified to participate in today's acceptance. He can stand here, which is naturally what Liya meant.
Although these priests did not dare to say much, they looked at the bishop. As a result, the bishop of the diocese couldn't stand it anymore and came over to discuss it quietly with Elder Riya.
But what surprised everyone was that Elder Riya was uncharacteristically no longer the humble elder, and glanced at the bishop with a cold eyebrow.
The bishop of the diocese stopped talking without even saying a few words, and stared back at him full of words.
This was something Alvin didn't expect.
In doing so, Riya seems to be suspected of protecting her own shortcomings.
But no one dared to say anything. After all, even the bishop of the diocese was frightened away by Riya's momentum. Then this
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Some of the priests didn't even dare to let go of anything.
Alvin didn't want to delve into what Riya had understood, but he knew that there must be a reason for Riya to do this.
With Riya making such a big show of "one word", everyone had no choice but to leave in anger.
"Elder Ria, why... is this?" Alvin couldn't help but ask.
Ria immediately returned to her original gentle look, "Ha, Sir Alvin, don't think too much about it, I'm just simply angry because these ignorant vulgar people intend to bury such a masterpiece."
Alvin smiled politely and nodded.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you yet, what is the name of this painting?" Ria asked.
Alvin hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Believer."
Riya was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and nodded slowly.
As mentioned before, no one can predict the outcome of fortune, and Alvin did not expect that his fortune would come from Leah's "pair of discerning eyes".
-------------------------------------------------- --------
As soon as the painting "The Believer" in the Saint-Emerald Cathedral appeared, it attracted the attention of the Universalists who came to worship in the church.
People came and went, all stopping to look up. Everyone wanted to understand the meaning of the painting. Even later, they all felt that they understood it and felt that they had different resonances with the author. But in fact, no one understood it. clear.
The key thing is that the priest in the church cannot give any official explanation. Once asked, he always gives hesitant answers, which is unconvincing. They didn't have a good impression of this painting to begin with, but they really wanted to deliberately discredit it, but they couldn't explain why. This is no wonder for them. Regarding the true connotation of this painting, they may not be able to know even one or two of them throughout their lives. The pictures on the dome are like opening up a vast ocean of human cognition, making people completely lost in it. How can one face the vast ocean of knowledge with only a small amount of personal knowledge?
Ever since, we can always see such a scene in the St. Feather Cathedral. Some people look up at the paintings on the dome for an entire afternoon, and then leave happily, or return home with sadness.
In this way, the painting "The Believer" has the magical power to capture the soul. Such incredible rumors spread so much that more and more people came to see the painting. Even people who did not believe in universal religion came to see it. after all.
People's curiosity is always so cheap. Later, some nobles from the Xindu Church also came to see what happened. They originally did not believe that any real works of art could be found in Universalist churches, but when they saw this painting, they were speechless.
Of course, there are also some aristocrats who advocate academicism and criticize this painting. They think that such paintings are not popular.
But something that catches people's eyes is what catches people's eyes, and what is aesthetically pleasing is what is aesthetically pleasing. No one can deny this.
As a result, some people immediately stood up to criticize those so-called "unpopular" remarks. Of course, the majority of them were members of the Universal Church. After all, this is something that belongs to their church, and they have the responsibility to safeguard it to the end.
Therefore, there was a heated debate between the two parties regarding the proposition of "being in the mainstream", so the painting "The Believer" has risen to the apex of public opinion.
For a moment, it seemed that everyone in Zantz City was full and had nothing to do, so they began to discuss the painting.
