Unexpectedly, Baron Marin Martino was actually a geographer and architect. He was good at making sand tables of various complex terrains, and he also did some research on many large buildings.
Surdak stood in front of the sand table and carefully looked at the exquisitely crafted sand table, and found that at least the mountains around Duodan Town were accurate.
Moreover, the town of Dodan on the sand table was also vividly created. Baron Martino asked Suldak with great interest: "Sir Commander, where is the location you chose to build the temple?"
Suldak quickly pointed out the location of the intersection square from the sand table.
It happens to be the intersection of the slums and the rich areas. It is considered the edge of the town.
Baron Martino looked at the site selection and did not make any statement. Instead, he walked to a wall and slowly opened the curtains on the wall.
Close to the wall was a row of oak shelves, and various wooden buildings were placed on these shelves. He walked to a wooden shelf, pointed to the wooden buildings above, and said to Suldak: "What I have seen
Almost all of the classic temple styles are here, I wonder which one Commander Surdak chose?"
Some nobles saw the wooden shelves filled with models of various sizes and exclaimed in surprise.
Several friends of Baron Martino couldn't help teasing him: "Marin, are you showing off your little toy houses to everyone again?"
Baron Martino waved his hands speechlessly, showing an expression of disdain for answering.
Several friends of Baron Martino said happily:
"Hey, it's like this every time... How long will it take you to realize that Duodan Town doesn't need such exquisite buildings."
Surdak walked over and saw that these wooden houses, which were only the size of a fist, had lifelike carvings on the rubble of doors, windows, and even the reliefs on the walls and the statues on the roofs.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a noble lady ask curiously:
"Baron Martino, why don't you build a house of this splendid style yourself?"
Baron Martino said with some embarrassment: "Well, didn't you realize that the manor where I live is one of them?"
Several friends of Baron Martino burst into laughter again and loudly said: "Yes, it is the worst one among them."
"Actually, this is probably the so-called high-minded but low-handed..."
Baron Martino was not angry when he saw the sarcasm of these friends, and casually defended himself by saying:
"I can't take care of everyone. After all, everyone's aesthetics are different. You like slender and well-proportioned, while he likes round and plump. The specifics of beauty and ugliness actually depend on your own conscience."
A group of nobles were chatting casually beside the wooden frame.
Surdak carefully selects exquisite wood carvings.
In fact, if we just talk about the appearance, among these exquisite wood carving models, almost five models are similar to the temple outline described by Selina, but only half of it, because the temple that Surdak wants to build is the temple of the twin goddesses.
This does not mean that the two goddesses should stand on the altar of a temple at the same time, but that the two temples are built back to back and have relatively independent doors.
Suldak took out two wooden sculpture models on the wooden stand, placed them together, then walked back to the sand table, and then placed them on the square at the intersection.
The model was a bit big, so I had to put it into the open space of the sandbox town square, and it was suddenly full.
Looking at it this way, you will feel that the space left must be very small, and even the magic caravan cannot pass by the roadside. Valley
Surdak pointed at the model and introduced it carefully: "The so-called twin goddess temples are the Temple of the Dawn Goddess and the Temple of the Night Goddess. Although these two goddesses do not have many followers and their sources of power are very limited, they are exactly the same.
Because they have fewer believers, it is often easier to get responses when you pray to them."
He paused for a moment and then said:
"The aborigines want to build the gate of the Temple of the Dawn Goddess on the side close to the slum area, and the gate of the Temple of the Night Goddess on the side close to the rich area. I think it doesn't matter which direction the temple gate faces.
question……"
Hearing what Suldak said, the nobles were slightly startled. Some nobles with quick minds reacted immediately. Someone stood up and said loudly:
"Wait... Commander, I don't agree with your point of view."
The nobles communicated with each other with their eyes, and then everyone turned their attention to Baron Martino.
Baron Martino coughed slightly and then said:
"The direction of the temple door should be carefully considered. From an astrologer's point of view, the door of the Dawn Temple faces the aboriginal slums. This is somewhat inappropriate in itself. How can the temple door face the god who represents the rising sun and dawn?
The west side is open, and I would say that the gate of the Temple of Night should face the west."
He paused for a moment, his eyes fell on the sand table building, and said:
"From a practical point of view, if we go to the temple to worship, it is very convenient to go to the Night Temple every time, but if we want to go to the Dawn Temple, we have to go around the slums... This is not only troublesome! But these two doors
The gate will also influence our thoughts...it will make our bodies more willing to accept the Temple of Night."
At this time, the ladies also gathered around, talking around Suldak:
"Commander, can't you turn the gate of the Dawn Temple towards us?"
Surdak hesitated and said with some embarrassment:
"After all, they paid for the construction of the temple, so a little request doesn't seem too much..."
Baron Martino immediately stood up and said: "I think this temple should be made more refined and grander. I also want to ask you to carefully consider the direction of the gate of the Dawn Temple. For this reason, I am willing to donate one hundred gold."
Behind him came the ridicule of his friends again: "Did you just donate gold coins worth five horses? Martino, you are too stingy. I am willing to donate two hundred gold coins to the temple."
"I also want to donate..."
Then someone else said.
Surdak proposed building a temple of twin goddesses in Dodan Town, and the nobles began to discuss it.
Unexpectedly, these nobles actually donated generously to the sand table showroom. The only requirement was to build the temple of the two goddesses more gorgeously. No matter how much money was spent, the gate of the temple of the Dawn Goddess must face the wealthy area.
The main street of...
Surdak said that he should think about it carefully, but in fact he had asked Selina to record the names of these nobles. Of course, the instructions of these financial owners must be followed truthfully.
Unexpectedly, when the nobles heard about the construction of the temple, they donated money generously...
In fact, Surdak also plans to build a junior war academy, mainly to learn basic combat skills such as basic swordsmanship.
I also want to set up a health center in Dodan town, so that patients can at least have a place to receive treatment.
The slums here are bound to be relocated across the river, and colleges and health centers will be built on this slum land...
It is estimated that a large amount of money will be raised...
