Reincarnation Monarch
Episode 639 Age
"... hey - same era... but this church looks a lot older and older than the ancient library, right?
Shester grinned at Asio's inquiry.
"I know you think of the ancient library in Tarka as a relatively new building, but that building is actually quite old, too. Well, it's hard to tell the age because of the marble building, but that architectural style is pretty old. And this church... before the style, whoever sees it first is old, right?
"Right. Looks pretty lame in the distance though."
"Hmm. I can't say for sure without trying to get close, but the decoration of the spire part of that building should probably be as old as the old library if not my misremembered"
Then Asio looked even surprised.
"... because you are familiar with architecture as well?
"No, I didn't learn it specially. It's just that all Valentine's men learn architecture all the way. I have only so much knowledge."
"... why in Valentin let them learn a street of architecture?
Shester answered Asio's question with a grin.
"That's a remnant from a long time ago. Valentin is a marine nation much more unchanged than he used to be. If we're going to get the ship out and discover new land, we're going to settle in there and acquire territory, but then we're going to need the building where we're based? That's why all the Valentin men have studied architecture so that they can build the right buildings anytime, anywhere. Most nowadays, new lands and so on have disappeared, so the need to do so has disappeared first, but the remnants of the past mean that we are all still learning."
"Oh really... but do you need to learn until the architectural age?
Then Shester accidentally broke up with him.
"No, you don't have to. To tell you the truth, I only personally liked and learned about architectural history. I like history in the first place. I thought architectural history would be further enhanced if I finally learned it. Even so, as I said earlier, I didn't learn it particularly professionally, but I'm only self-taught, so I don't have that much knowledge."
Shester laughed a little lightly when he said so.
Then I said as Azio was impressed.
"No, I think that's pretty good knowledge, right? At first glance, you can see the architectural age of the building. Besides, compared to marble buildings and wooden architecture, we know it's the same age.
Chester laughed similarly at Azio's compliments earlier.
And they remained silent for a while, and finally reached the church of purpose.
"It's not so lame to see it close, is it? Why does it look surprisingly well built?
Shester answered Asio's question.
"I guess that's because the columns in the four corners of the building are pretty big and fat. That's going to change a lot about building impressions."
"I see... is that what you get the impression of... by the way? Actually, come closer. What's the age of this building?
Asked by Asio, Shester forcefully affirmed.
"Oh, it's almost certainly from the same period as that ancient library"
