Chapter 37: Revenge Filled with Artistic Flair Below
After such a mind-expanding suggestion, the noble ladies present threw away their reserve in their hearts, or opened Pandora's box to resist the dark side. One after another constructive suggestions made Hans from Germany unable to bear it and slipped out of the house quietly!
Too scary!
It turns out that after women grasp knowledge, they become so terrifying!
Good heavens, can you imagine a delicate aristocratic lady solemnly explaining how to manufacture lightning to split a living person in two?
But will it work? Just putting a kite with iron rods up in the air and letting that Nikiforov hold it, and then having lightning strike him! Is this some kind of devilry?
Of course, this is just a more imaginative one, the most practical one belongs to a noble lady who proposed seducing his father and then becoming his stepmother... Fortunately, both sides had differences on who would become the stepmother, and many people felt that this proposal was too cruel, otherwise, Nikephoros would have been in big trouble.
However, the noble ladies of Constantinople proposed more suggestions to use rituals, using mysterious rituals! What about the 72 pillars of Solomon, the 36 guardian demons of King David, and the 18 blessing angels of Emperor Constantine? Tell me, do those mysterious things really conform to the doctrine? The content is more exaggerated than one another, and the sacrificial objects are more terrifying than one another!!!
But all the spearheads pointed to one point.
Hans stared at the ceiling in shock and horror, what kind of books did these Roman Empire noble ladies usually read?!
"Pennywise, you're asking for a high difficulty level!"
"It's indeed, we need to have feasible operability, not too excessive, and able to cover people's ears and eyes, while also being full of artistic qualities that match our identity and status! This is really a difficult task!"
"We are now punishing people, avenging the pain that scoundrel has inflicted on us, how can it be so particular."
Indeed, punishing people is not so elegant! But they are the most beautiful nobles in the future of Constantinople, aren't they? If people know that they are just like ordinary nobles, except for a few curses, what's the point of being superior?! So what stands in front of the noble ladies is not others, but how to show their elegance as noble ladies when punishing, without losing the power of punishment!
"It goes without saying! I already know!!!" Frederick stood up from the crowd of noble ladies who were about to quarrel again, his eyes burning with intensity. "I already know what to do!"
Frederick asked, "Do you still remember how Lucifer was beaten into hell in the Lost Paradise?"
Looking at his serious appearance, the noble ladies who were about to speak all quieted down. Someone said: "Lucifer, before falling from heaven, was one of the twelve great archangels and the incarnation of light, with titles such as 'the greatest angel by God's side'. However, due to excessive pride, he refused to kneel to the Son of Man, led a third of the angels in rebellion against Heaven, and was ultimately cast down, falling for nine days and nights before landing in Hell!"
"Why must I worship him? I absolutely will not worship something so inferior, which appeared later than me. Before he was formed, I already existed, and he should be the one to worship me." Frederick closed his eyes, placing five fingers on his chest, feeling the pride in these words, "Pride, to the point of arrogance! Self-aggrandizing to an unbearable degree!"
A noble lady asked: "Hm, indeed. This is the British poet Milton's 'Paradise Lost', written in Constantinople, but what does this have to do with us?"
"Gentlemen, you have also seen that Nikiru Rufus in the coffee shop. Don't you think they are similar? If one day I want to leave my name in history, I will declare war on God! How arrogant!!! One refused to kneel down to the Son of Man, and the other dared to say he would declare war on God! The same evil, one became Satan later, and the other harbored evil! What is a more fitting comparison than these two?"
"Good heavens!" exclaimed Penelope, recalling the altered ending of "Tartuffe", she recited Nicky's revised finale, turning what was supposed to be a comedic scene into a tragic and heinous tale that left listeners aghast. "Only someone with such darkness in their heart could come up with such a sinful plot! God above, just thinking about it now gives me the chills, it's too terrifying, I dare not imagine such things actually happening in this world!"
"Some people still don't understand and say: 'In my eyes, he is even more hateful, but what does this have to do with us taking revenge on him?'"
"We can write a story about this devil, Nikiru Fusu!" exclaimed Frederick, "No, a novel! Five hundred thousand words? One million words? Who knows, but we can record the evil, darkness and terror of this man with fictional stories and content! So that future generations will know that in our lifetime, there was such a demon in human skin!"
Frederick finished speaking, looked down and saw that all around him was a flash of menacing light, as if he had suddenly found himself in the midst of a pack of wolves. Especially Penelope, who swallowed hard, her whole body trembling with excitement!
"Frederic, you're a genius!!!"
"Alright, sisters, the plan is set! We're going to make sure everyone knows what that scoundrel has done!!! Yes, we can write down his deeds and add ourselves to the story! We are on the side of justice! That's right! We're fighting against the devil! Isn't this the role we're supposed to play?! We must protect Dion Street, even if it means battling the devil and his minions! People in the future will read this book, see our story, and understand how hard-won Dion Street's existence is! It's because of our efforts that we can keep this street safe! Alright, sisters, no more complaining! Let's get energized!!!"
The noble ladies, with their spirits lifted at once, are eager to write down all they have experienced in a story. As for revenge, wouldn't it be better to make everyone remember the evil called Nikiru Fusu and leave him with contempt? That's all the revenge needed!
Frederick said, "Let's get started right away! I'm thinking, what kind of name should we give him? We can't just use his real name! That would have terrible consequences! As for the subtitle at the beginning, I've already thought it through. Let's call it 'Crawling on Earth, Gazing up at Heaven'!"
"In the abyss where light cannot reach, icy darkness devours the earth. At the very bottom of this deepest pit, a pair of wings merged with darkness unfold, evil scattered all over, and only the owner of those wings can be heard singing in a cold voice."
"Satan, how should we treat a newborn baby?"
"huhhuuh... At dawn, when the sun just rises, we can put him in a sack and throw it into the boiling big pot..."
"All of you ask in unison again, Satan, how should we treat that newborn baby?"
"...when the sun is at its zenith, at high noon, we can dig out his heart and liver with swords and knives, and then feed them to starving rats..."
"All of you ask in unison again, Satan, how should we treat that newborn baby?"
"At sunset, when darkness spreads across the land, I can walk out of hell, grab him down, and here, we can gaze up at the paradise on earth and in heaven together..."
"What an evil prayer! Too dark! But it's so fitting! Friedrich, you'd make a great poet!"
Things went smoothly, but soon the noble ladies discovered a problem. Because they didn't know much about Nikiforos, they didn't know how to create...the most realistic portrayal of that scoundrel.
"Are you making this up?"
"No! In that case, wouldn't the demons in this work just be empty shells without souls?"
"What should I do?"
"We'll ask the person involved when we have time..."
