Chapter 46 Chapter Forty-One

morning worship While listening to "Wrath of the Sun", Adso had a dream, or you could call it a hallucination William said goodbye to Nicholas and went to the office.Having seen enough of the treasure, I decided to go to the chapel and pray for Malachi's soul.I never liked that person, but I was a little afraid of him. I don't deny that for a while I always thought he was a murderer.But now I know he may be a poor fellow, bewildered, so silent, evasive, with nothing to say.I feel annoyed about him, and I think a prayer for his unfortunate fate will ease my guilt. The chapel was quite bright, and the poor man's body lay in the center, and the murmurs of the monks mourning the dead were endless.

In Melek Abbey, I have witnessed the death of a monk several times.It was not a happy occasion, but in a calm and appropriate atmosphere, it was peaceful and solemn.The monks took turns entering the dying man's chamber and comforting him with sweet words.Everyone considers the dying man lucky, for he is ending his moral life and will soon join the eternal chorus of angels.This stillness infects the dying man, and causes him to die peacefully at last.However, the deaths in the past few days have been very different!Finally I saw how the victims of the "End of Africa" ​​scorpions died, and Venantius and Berengar must have died like that, drinking water and bathing for relaxation, and their faces would be the same as Malachi's. Same collapse.

I sat at the end of the chapel, huddled against the cold.When I felt a little warmer, I joined in the prayer.I followed the other brothers in a low voice, almost unconsciously saying something, my head kept pointing, and my eyes were almost closed.After some time, I believe I fell asleep, but woke up three or four times.Then the chorus of 'Old Wrath' began...the deep voice was like a narcotic that lulled me to sleep, and finally I fell into a deep sleep. Or should I say, I fell into a tired and restless doze, bent over like a A baby still in the mother's womb. In that fog of the soul, I found myself in a region that wasn't of this world, and I was hallucinating, or having a dream—whatever you want to call it.

I descended a narrow and low passage, as if descending to a treasury cellar.But I went further down, and came to a wider basement, which was the kitchen of the cathedral.It was indeed the kitchen, but there was not only the noise of pots and stoves, but also bellows and hammers. It seemed that Nicholas' blacksmiths had gathered here too. ※Bandhammer Academy's E-Book※ The fire in the stove cast a red glow over everything, steam rose from the pan, and large bubbles rising to the surface burst with sudden, repetitive monotonous peeling sounds.The cooks waved their pots and spoons, and the novices scrambled to grab the chickens and poultry meat skewered on hot iron rods.Nearby, the blacksmiths were beating hard, making people feel deafening. The smoke from the anvil was mixed with the water vapor from the pot.

I didn't know if I was in hell or in the heaven Salvatore might have imagined.But I didn't have time to think about where I was, because a group of dwarves with heads as big as pots and bodies as small as dwarfs rushed in, pushed me to the threshold of the restaurant, and forced me to enter. The setting of the restaurant is like a feast.Large woven paintings and banners hang on the walls, but the patterns embroidered on them are not the patterns used by believers to enlighten enlightenment or kings to celebrate glory.On the contrary, the patterns are like Adelmo's margin paintings, which look very funny, rabbits dancing around fruit-laden trees, rivers full of fish, jumping into the frying pan by themselves, holding the frying pan. The cook is a monkey in a bishop's costume, and the potbellied monster dances around the steaming kettle.

The abbot, in his gown trimmed with purple, sat at the head of the table, holding a fork like a king.George sat beside him, drinking from a jug of wine.Dressed in a Bernard Guilli costume, Remigio holds a book in the shape of a scorpion and reads aloud the lives of the saints, and passages from the Gospels, but it is the story of Jesus joking with his disciples, reminding him that He's a stone, and he's going to build a church on this shameless stone that rolls across the plain, and St. Jeremiah's critique of the Bible that God will reveal the back of Jerusalem.Every time the administrator said a sentence, George would laugh, pound the table with his fist, and shout, "You're the next dean, by God!" That's what he said, God forgive me.

The abbot gave a happy signal, and a line of virgins entered.They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and there was a woman in the middle, at first I thought it was my mother, but then I found out I was wrong, because it was obviously the girl who was as scary as the army, but she wore a beaded crown on her head, Two strings of white pearls, and two other strings of pearls fell to the sides of her cheeks, mixed with the bead chain hanging on her chest, and each pearl was hung with a big shiny diamond.In addition, she wore a string of blue pearl earrings on each ear, joined together at the nape of her neck, which was thin and white, straight as the Tower of Lebanon.She wore a purple cloak, and in her hand she held a golden cup set with diamonds, and I knew that the poison in the cup was stolen from Severinus, though I don't know how I should know.This woman, as beautiful as the dawn, led the procession, followed by other women.One had a small white trimmed cloak over a black one-piece dress embroidered with gold thread; A pattern of a labyrinth; a third in an amber robe woven with small red animals, and a long frilled boa tied around her hands.I stopped noticing the dress of the other women, because I couldn't help but wonder who they were, and as the maiden who now looked like the Virgin Mary walked in, it seemed as though each of them held a scroll in their hand, or each had a Like scrolls, I knew they were Ruth, Sarah, Susannah, and other women in the Bible.

Then the abbot shouted: "Come in, son of whore!" Then another procession of holy figures entered the dining-room, dressed in rich and stately attire, identifiable at a glance.In the midst of this company, seated on a throne, is the Lord, but at the same time he is Adam, clothed in a purple burqa, with a great crown adorned with rubies and white pearls, and in his hand he holds a larger A gold cup filled with a cup full of pig's blood.Surrounding him were also familiar figures, followed by a group of archers of the French king, either in green or red, each holding a light green shield with the word "Christ" printed on it.One of the leaders of this group went up to meet the dean and presented the gold cup.

The Dean said: "The first of the four and the seventh." All read: "At 'Africa's End' Amen." Then came the carnival. ※Bandhammer School & E-Book of Fine School※ The two groups facing each other dispersed, Abbot Solomon ordered the table to be laid, Andre and Jacob carried in a bundle of straw, Adam sat down in the middle, Eve lay down on a leaf, Cain dragged Plow came in, Abel carried a pail of milk and fed Brunelles, Noah rowed in mightily in the ark, Abraham sat down under the bridge, Isaac lay on the golden altar of the chapel, Moses Crouching down on a stone, Daniel appeared on the altar in Malachi's arms, Tobias was lying on a bed, Joseph was standing in the hoist, Benjamin was leaning on a large bag, and There are many people, but it seems a bit chaotic.David stood on the mound, John on the spot, Pharaoh on the sand, (sure, I thought, but why?) Lazarus at the table, Jesus against the wall, Zachary Aya climbed on a branch, Matthew had a stool to sit on, Rab had to sit on a stump, Luthor sat in a pile of straw, and Teckler sat on the window sill (Adelmo's pale face appeared outside the window. , as if to warn her that she might fall off the cliff outside), Susanna in the garden, Judas wandering among the tombs, Peter on the throne, Jug in the net, Ilya in the saddle, Rachel Sitting on the ground, the apostle Paul put down his sword and listened to Esau complain, Job groaned on the dung heap, Rebekah held the robe, Judith held the blanket and rushed forward to help him, Hagar covered the hood.Several novices carried in a large steaming cauldron, from which Venantius sprang, flushed all over, and began to distribute the pudding of pig's blood.

The restaurant was getting more and more crowded, and everyone was eating to their heart's content.Jonah puts gourd ladles on the table, Isaiah brings vegetables, Ezekiel brings raspberries, Zechariah maple blossoms, Adam lemons, Daniel lupins, Pharaoh peppers, Cain artichokes , the fig of Eve, the apple of Rachel, the plum of Ananias the size of a diamond, the onion of Leah, the olive of Aaron, an egg of Joseph, the grape of Noah, the peach of Simeon, and Jesus sings 'Old Wrath' , and cheerfully squeezed a few drops of vinegar on all the dishes. Then George stood up and set fire to a bush, Sarah kindled the fire for him, Yeft took the bush up, Isaac took it down, Joseph carved it, Jacob opened the well, and Daniel Sitting down, the servants brought in the water, Noah brought the wine, Hagar held the wineskin, Abraham led the ox, Rab tied the ox to the stake, Jesus brought the rope, Elijah bound the ox's feet bound.Then Absalom hangs it in mid-air, Peter draws his sword, Cain kills it, Herod holds up its blood, Syme throws away its entrails and dung, Jacob pours oil on it, Morai Sutton sprinkled salt; Antiochus carried it to the fire, Rebekah boiled it, Eve tasted it first, and vomited, Adam said not to eat it, and when Severinus suggested some herbs, Adam patted him on the back.At this time Jesus broke the bread and passed the fish, Jacob shouted because Esau ate the whole stew, Isaac ate ​​the roast lamb, Jonah ate the whale, Jesus fasted for forty days and forty nights.

At the same time, everyone is in and out, playing various shape and color selection games.Benjaminde kept the biggest portion, and Mariali ate the least, and Martha complained that she had to wash the dishes every time.Then they rounded up and divided the ox, and the ox suddenly became very large, and John got the head, Absalom the brain, Aaron the tongue, Samson the jaw, Peter the ear, Holofernes got the head, Leah divided To the rump, Sarah the neck, Elizabeth's cunt, Jonah's belly, Toby the gall, Eve the rib, Maria the breast, Moses the tail, Lot the leg, and Ezekiel the bone.Meanwhile, Jesus swallowed a donkey, St. Francis ate a wolf, Abel a sheep, Eve a moray eel, John the Baptist a locust, Pharaoh an octopus, (of course, I thought to myself, but Why?) David eats a catfish, Samson bites a lion's rump, and Tycho flees screaming after being chased by a hairy black spider. All were evidently drunk now, and some were staggering, and some were sunk in urns, with only their feet showing, crossed like stakes.Jesus held out a book with ten blackened fingers, and said: Take this and eat, these are the riddles of Synphosias, including the one about the Son of the Redeemer, the Redeemer turned into a fish. Adam lay gasping for breath, wine poured from his ribs, Noah cursed Heim who was still sleeping, Holofernes struck Wei, no one noticed, Jonah fell into a deep sleep, Peter kept vigil until morning, Jesus woke up with a fright , hearing Bernard Guiy and Bertrand of Poguito conspiring to burn the maiden; cried he: Father, if it be thy will, let this chalice pass from my hand!Some were pouring with all their might, some were still drinking, some were dying laughing, some were dying laughing, some were holding holy vessels, and some were drinking out of other people's cups.Susanna yelled that she would never give her white and beautiful body to the administrator and Salvatore for a mere heart, and Pilate walked around the restaurant like a man in a daze, begging others to give her He washed his hands with water, and Brother Dorsino, wearing a hat with a feather, brought the water, and then with a sneer, he pulled back his robe, revealing his genitals, which were red with blood, and Cain mocked him, and said Margherita of Trento in robes; Dolcino kneels and weeps, puts his head on Bernard Guiller's shoulder, calls him the Angel Pope, Ubertino comforts him with a tree of life, cut Zerner's Michael uses a gold purse, Maria sprinkles him with potions, and Adam convinces him to bite into a freshly picked apple. Then the vaulted roof of the cathedral opened, and Roger Bacon flew down from the sky in a flying machine.Then David played the lyre, and Salome danced under seven veils, blowing a trumpet and producing a seal after each veil was removed, until the last veil was left.Everyone said there had never been a monastery so happy as this one.Berengar pulled up the sash of everyone, male or female, and kissed their anus. Abbot got mad because, he said, he had such a fun party and nobody gave him anything.So they rushed to bring him presents and things in kind, a bull, a lamb, a lion, a camel, a stag, a calf, a horse, a chariot of the sun, St. The lower jaw, the tail of St. Eubertina, the uterus of St. Venantiusia, the neck of St. Burgosina at the age of twelve carved in the shape of a cup, and a copy of King Solomon's Five Bastions.But the dean started yelling that they were trying to distract him from what they were doing, when in fact their stuff was stolen from the treasury vault, and one of the most expensive books was lost, it was about scorpions With seven trumpets, he ordered the archers of the King of France to search for all suspects.As a result, the archers found a piece of colored cloth on Hagar, a seal on Rachel, a silver mirror hidden in Teckler's chest, a straw in Benjamin's armpit, and a straw in Judy's clothes. Wrapped in a silk sheet, Langjanas holds a halberd in his hand, and Abimilequi holds a neighbor's wife in his arms.But the worst thing was that they found a black cock on the girl, she was dressed in black, she was very beautiful, like a black cat, they said she was a witch and a false apostle, and everyone surrounded her Catch her and punish her.John the Baptist beheaded her, Abel cut her open, Adam drove her out, Nebuchadnezzar wrote the zodiac signs on her chest with pokers, and Elijah drove her away in a burning chariot , Noah pushed her into the water, Lot turned her into a pillar of salt, Susannah accused her of adultery, Joseph betrayed her and ran away with another woman, Ananni put her in a furnace, Samson chained her, Paul scourged her, Peter crucified her head to toe, Stephen stoned her, Lawrence baked her on an iron rack, Bartholomew skinned her, Judas Abandoned her, administrators burned her, Peter denied everything.And then they all stood on that corpse and defecated on it, dumped shit on her face, pissed on her head, spat on her chest, pulled her hair out, burned her ass with a torch .The girl's body, so beautiful and sweet, was mutilated and cut into pieces, and kept in glass boxes and golden and crystal reliquaries in the cellar.Or, it wasn't that the girl's body was torn into pieces and filled the cellar, but the fragments of the cellar rolled up and gradually formed the girl's body, like minerals, and then disintegrated and dispersed, turning into accumulated sand.Now, it seemed as if it were a gigantic entity, dissolved into fragments during the millennia of bliss, and these fragments filled the cellar, brighter than monks' bones, yet less resembling, as if the substance of the human body, The masterpiece of creation, shattered into multiple and separated forms, turned into a completely opposite image, no longer ideal, but earthly, dusty and smelly fragments, which can only symbolize death and destruction... ※Maverick School の Jing School E Book※ Now I can't find the dishes and gifts they brought. The guests at the banquet seem to have gone to the cellar. Everyone has only a part, which is kept in a box; Rachel has only one bone. , Daniel left only one tooth, Samson only left his jaw, and Jesus left only a rag of his purple robe.It seems that the banquet finally turned into the massacre of the girl, and then into a worldwide massacre. What I saw was the final result. The bodies of all feasters turned into corpses, like Dorsino The tormented body is amputated and turned into a hideous and dazzling treasure, elongated like a flayed and suspended animal, but still retaining the muscles, internal organs, all the organs, even the facial features.Wrinkles, scars, hair, genitalia, chest skin, turned a dazzling pink, while breasts, nails, eyelashes, watery eyes, lips, spine, skeleton, everything faded to gray, although they Still intact and in their original positions, the legs became empty and limp, like boots, the flesh lay flat on the ground like a sacrament, and the blood vessels were clearly visible.There is also a pile of viscera, a deep red heart, two rows of shell-like teeth, a tongue like a blue-pink pendant, a row of fingers like candles, and a navel like a seal in the flat belly... by In every corner of the dungeon, ghosts grinned at me and hissed and whispered that I would die.Ubertino took my arm, pressed his fingernails into my flesh, and whispered to me: "You see, it's all the same, what was first elated by its folly, its taunts, now All here, punished and recompensed, freed from the temptation of passion, stiffened by eternity, consigned to the preservation and purification of the eternal forest, freed from corruption by the triumph of corruption, for what is already dust can no longer be dust…… But suddenly Salvatore stepped into the cellar, glowing like a devil, and cried: "Fool! Can't you see that this is the great Liertald? What are you afraid of, my little master? I give You brought cheese biscuits!" The cellar suddenly became bright and red, and it became the kitchen again, but it was not like a kitchen, but like the inside of a big womb, sticky, with a stick in the center. A beast as black as a raven, with a thousand hands chained to a great grate, stretched out those hands to catch those around it, and when the peasants snatched a bunch of grapes out of thirst, those The giant beast seized them too, swallowed them up, and suffocated, belching a fire that stinks worse than brimstone.However, strangely enough, that scene no longer frightened me, and I was surprised to see that I was comfortable looking at the "good devil" (that's what I thought), after all it was just Salvatore, Now that I know all about the mortal body, its pain and its degradation, I am afraid of nothing.In fact, in the light of the fire, I saw the dinner guests again, and now they were all back to their original shape, singing that everything will start again, and the girl was among them, beautiful and whole, and said to me: "It's okay. It's okay, you'll know: I'm going to be more beautiful than ever, just let me go for a while and be burned in the fire, and then we'll see each other here!" She showed me her pussy again— God have mercy on me - I went inside and found myself in a beautiful cave, like a happy valley in the golden age, with the sound of water, melons and fruits everywhere, and cheese crackers growing on the trees.All thanked the abbot for inviting them to the joyful feast, and to show their merriment they pushed him, kicked him, tore his clothes, threw him to the ground, and beat his stick with clubs.He laughed and asked them to stop mocking him.Brothers living in poverty came in on horses belching sulfur fumes, with leather bags full of gold, turned wolves into sheep and sheep into wolves, crowned them emperors with the consent of the representatives of the people, and shouted chant.Jesus waved his crown of thorns and shouted, and Pope John came in, bemoaning the confusion, and saying, "I don't know how it's going to end!" Next, go out with the pig and go to the forest to find the mushrooms.I was about to follow them when I saw William standing in a corner; he had just come out of the labyrinth, and was being drawn swiftly to the north by the magnet in his hand. "Don't leave me, teacher!" I yelled, "I want to see what's in 'End of Africa' too!" "You've seen it!" William replied, drifting away.I woke up suddenly. The mourning song was just sung to the last stanza, which reverberated in the church. It was like my hallucination, and like all hallucinations, it faded away, and the last "Amen" was almost as long as "Wrath of the Sun".
