Chapter 230 - Going to holy palace part 1 (1/2)
Ice dungeon, its cold alright, or supposed to be cold. Good thing I know how to perform adaptability magic and apply it constantly, to me and the three other (apparently Linda doesn't feel the cold striking her).
While traveling the dungeon, Seraph with his ever changing musical instruments keep on playing his various masterpieces, while the rest of us just listen, appreciating his fine artistic touch. Some of his song burn our spirit while other make us feels relax. I must say, as annoying as he usually was, I really love hearing his musical performances. Maybe I should create a CD? No, maybe not, the camera I created and integrated with the phone already have recording features, but then again, it's still expansive and only few people can get their hands on it. Plus, with my kinda bad reputation among the noble (thanks to my foul mouth and usually bad attitude to the noble), the sale is actually kinda low. So, maybe a CD with affordable cost can be sold to commoner, so they can enjoy the masterpiece, or maybe I can use the CD and integrate it with the communication stones that are placed alongside the road of neighborhood area, that way Seraph masterpiece can be played at set time. Or maybe a musical box? That is also affordable and easy to made
”You seem to be in deep thought” [Saint Louis]
”Oh, hearing Seraph's masterpiece actually give me plenty of idea” [Ash]
”Oh, care to share” [Seraph]
”Well...” [Ash]
I told them. Their reactions are actually favourable, so much so that I think this might actually work
”You're always full of ideas. As expected of someone from another world. Your view is quite different from us” [Alaric]
”Now that I think of it, does your people worship Goddess Achalasia as well?” [Linda]
”No. At least to my knowledge, no” [Ash]
”Then what religious belief does your people hold onto?” [Alaric]
They're rather interested in this subject, not just Saint Louis. Guess I should just tell them
While I told them regarding the major religions back on earth, I also told them a short history of each religion. I kinda realize that while back on earth there are different religions, here in Achalasia, well, ultimately, they all worship Goddess Achalasia. Even the squabbles between the old and new teaching here still worship the same goddess
”Hmm... with so many religion, I bet there are many conflicts arises” [Seraph]
”That's true. Not to say I blame the religion, but it basically boils down to those in power, using religion and races as one of the reasons to start conflicts. You can say what happen here and back on earth are almost identical. You want to grab political power? Boom, blame those who are different from you and have them targeted for each and every single thing, however nonsense it sounds, they will buy it. You want to seize the economy? Well, support our people or else those people will squeeze every single penny from your pockets. I can rant non stop, but, all and all, I believe us common folks just wanted some peace, but those who are in power, not so much I guess” [Ash]
”Getting philosophical, but that is indeed identical to what happen here in Achalasia” [Saint Louis]
I can see that my opinion just now affecting Saint Louis more than I thought it would. Heck, I was just giving him my serious two cents, and he takes it very, very, very seriously. Not surprising, considering that one of the new religion teaching prohibited needless and groundless discrimination being bashed from every single direction, especially by the old teaching, he must have felt some sort of connection to my talk.
”Still, I can't believe your people discriminating other based on skin colour as well. What happens to other races with different skin colour, for example, the blue wing angle? Were they discriminated more than other?” [Seraph]
