80: This Statue Isn't Accurate At All!!!
"My Fufu, couldn't be a mixed blood of angel and demon, right?"
Amya thought to herself somewhat half-jokingly.
"Pfft... what am I even thinking? This is getting more and more ridiculous. How could angels and demons possibly produce offspring? These two races have basically been fighting since the creation of the world! Even for me, an angel, to like Evelia, a demon, is already an anomaly among anomalies. A large part of the reason is that I was reborn as an angel from a human. My way of thinking isn't angelic but leans more toward human. How could a proper angel possibly like a demon?"
Amya shook her head and threw this bizarre thought out of her mind.
But if not an angel... then perhaps she could be an elf? But Evelia doesn't have pointed ears either...
『Sigh... can't guess, not guessing anymore…』
"Alright, both of you. Welcome to the altar of the Wangyou Grand Cathedral. This is the most central location of the cathedral. From both a cultural and magical perspective, it is the Church's precious treasure!"
Sauron led the two through a long corridor and arrived at an extremely spacious room. He stood in the passageway leading to the altar and spread his arms with a smile.
"Truly... magnificent..."
To be honest, this was Evelia's first time coming to such a core location of the Wangyou Grand Cathedral. Within a year of returning from Hell, although she had come to the Wangyou Grand Cathedral before, she had mostly been wary of the Holy Church's extreme attitude toward demons and hadn't entered, let alone come to such a core area.
Therefore, the moment she saw the altar room, she was deeply shocked by the sacred and magnificent religious spectacle before her.
The height of the entire altar room was quite exaggerated. Visually, it was probably dozens of meters high. The ceiling of the room was a concave circular dome, and there were neatly arranged circular domes. Each dome contained a painting related to religion. Combined with the reliefs on the edges of the domes, it looked full of artistic sense! On both sides of the upper dome were rows of large stained glass windows. The glass also had paintings related to religion. However, these paintings weren't like the dome paintings that depicted certain scenes. Instead, they were angels painted in Western artistic style. The angels had various expressions, and the number of wings on their backs varied, adding quite a bit of sacred atmosphere to the entire altar.
On both sides of the passageway were rows of sandalwood seats. Beside the seats were the walls of the altar room. These walls also had quite a bit of religious art, such as sculptures of angels in various poses, and some complex patterns with magical aura. These complex and varied patterns combined with the reliefs didn't cause aesthetic fatigue or dizziness. Instead, they gave people an incredibly strong sense of solemnity.
As for the center of the room, that was the core of the entire room, the Church altar.
This kind of Western Church altar was quite different from the altars in traditional Chinese culture. The altar in the center of the Wangyou Grand Cathedral was entirely golden, with countless flower-like complex patterns. It could basically be confirmed that it was carved using magic. Behind the altar were three sacred statues with different forms. The statue at the center didn't resemble an angel; it lacked the sacred wings that are the hallmark of angelic beings. It wore white robes and had a gentle expression. Evelia guessed this was probably the main god that the Holy Church and angels both believed in, the Creator Yahweh.
The two statues beside the Creator were clearly angels. Their identities were also quite easy to guess. You could tell by the number of wings on their backs. The one on the left was clearly taller, with twelve sacred wings behind it. This was probably the legendary Angel Lord Mikali. The one on the right was shorter, with three pairs of wings on its back, and held a half-person-sized great sword. This was probably the Seraph Gabriel.
Thinking of this, Evelia couldn't help but glance at Amya beside her.
Sure enough, Amya's expression at this moment was quite strange. The corners of her mouth kept rising. She was probably trying to hold back laughter.
"What's wrong? Miss Amya?"
Bishop Sauron also noticed the abnormality in Amya's expression at this moment. He asked with some confusion.
"Nothing... I just think this statue... um... it's not that it doesn't look like her, but the personality shown doesn't match the person at all..."
Actually, Amya was almost dying of laughter in her heart! The last time she came, Sauron had talked to her in the cathedral's reception room and hadn't brought her to the altar area. So this was her first time seeing these three statues.
However, the moment she saw the statues, she couldn't hold it back.
Especially when she saw her teacher Gabriel's statue.
Putting everything else aside, just the body proportion issue was a huge problem! Her teacher was a proper flat-chested loli! When she was with Lord Mikali, they looked more like mother and daughter rather than sisters! But this statue not only enhanced her teacher's height to the level of a young girl, but most outrageously, she actually had a chest!?
WTF? Teacher Gabriel has a chest? And it's bigger than hers? How is that possible!?
And that statue's expression was extremely solemn and dignified. But in reality? Her teacher was a scumbag who couldn't even clean up the garbage in her own room! She got disciplined by Lord Mikali every few days for being too mischievous. How could she possibly be as serious as the statue showed?
Beautification. This was definitely deliberate beautification! Her teacher wasn't this perfect at all! Even the key cuteness was gone. This was naked beautification!
"Hahaha... As an angel, Miss Amya must be very familiar with Lord Mikali and Lord Gabriel, right? Indeed, these statues aren't very accurate. After all, not many humans have seen those two. So these statues were actually carved by sculptors based on their own image of Lord Mikali and Lord Gabriel."
"Tsk... Teacher's reputation in the mortal world is this good?"
"Oh? Teacher? Miss Amya's teacher is actually one of those two angel lords?"
"Yes, it's Gabriel."
"Then Miss Amya, why don't you tell this old man what the real Lord Gabriel is like? I can also commission the sculptor to carve a more accurate one."
"Loli body type, loves light novels and cola. A mischievous loli who causes trouble every three days if not disciplined. Often gets disciplined by Lord Mikali. The kind who throws snack wrappers everywhere after eating and throws drink bottles everywhere after drinking, and finally makes her student clean up the garbage. Absolute scum."
"???"
