The playground is already quite busy.
In the main square facing the gate, a group of adults and children gathered around Shuge in colorful robes to listen to his performance. The guy laughed and played a flute first, and the melodious flute sound echoed in the square, making people feel relaxed and happy; then he cleared his throat, played the balalaika, and sang a cheerful song.
Both the flute music and the balalaika song were unheard of, even by the most well-informed people, having never heard them anywhere else. So those who came to listen were not just ordinary civilians, but also a few scholars. Some of them were holding a wooden board, writing and drawing on it with charcoal while listening, and wrote down the music scores.
There is no concept of "copyright" in this world, but the author's right of signature is still protected. If someone copies other people's books or collects other people's songs, but erases the original author's name or even changes it to his own, then there is no need for the original author to sue him. The god of literature and art and the god of classics will naturally come to him. Trouble, even the powerful God of Magic will punish him - the reason is very simple, the God of Magic's priesthood also includes knowledge, and the respect and protection of knowledge are also part of His teachings.
As for the issue of making money through piracy, given the backwardness of papermaking and printing in this world, can we make money through piracy? Just kidding!
But even so, Sui Xiong often received applications from scholars and poets, asking the authors of those songs for permission to perform these works elsewhere.
Of course he has no objection to this, but he requires that no matter where he plays, he must help promote the playground first.
This request is very reasonable and everyone is willing to accept it, so art lovers from far away often travel all the way to the capital of their country after listening to the remake of the song, and then arrive at the amusement park from the teleportation array, just to listen to the original version of Shuge.
Not long after, Shuge got drunk with Qiao Xiu and Fafnir one day, and while he was sleeping soundly on the bed of a prostitute, he was called by the God of Literature and Art.
The next morning, he felt refreshed and high-spirited and said that Mr. Shovalier von Storovsky Franz won the Literary Song (Literary Art Prize) for his outstanding contribution to the spread of art. God) reward, now he is a high-level adventurer!
When he said this, he glanced at Qiao Xiu sideways, as if he didn't take seriously this barbarian who couldn't even write his name well.
Qiao Xiu didn't care about him at all. He just dragged him to treat him after get off work that day. His whole month's salary was eaten up in one meal. He screamed in distress, but he was brutally beaten by the big barbarian's iron pliers-like hands. Suppressed hard, without the ability to fight back.
High-level bards are certainly powerful, but Qiao Xiu is a high-level barbarian. If a bard is caught by a barbarian, what good outcome will there be
Fafnir, who had transformed into a human form, was enjoying the service of the two little girls while watching Qiao Xiu packing away the treasures with a smile. He couldn't help but sigh: "This guy Shuge is indeed very interesting!"
Also meeting the God of Literature and Art was Sui Xiong. The two parties had a cordial and friendly exchange of views on issues such as the form of literature and art, the development of art, the cultivation and protection of artists, etc., and achieved a lot of consensus. Although the fundamental position is still at the level of "appreciation" rather than "support", an agreement was finally reached.
According to the agreement, in the future, the God of Literature and Art will arrange for his artists to come here to study, and his followers will build a high-end theater and perform various literary and artistic programs in it.
In exchange, Sui Xiong will provide artists with shelter when necessary. As long as no heinous crime is committed, no one can arrest or kill any artist within the playground.
This agreement made the God of Literature and Art very satisfied. As a god with weak divine power, He always hated his lack of force and his inability to provide strength protection to his believers at critical moments. And His church is too weak, and it doesn’t even have decent church force.
Let's compare it. Another god of magic and books, although he also has weak divine power, he has a stable church knights. Although there are not many people, there are still some!
In contrast, although every theater is theoretically a palace of the God of Literature and Art, He does not even have a stable church, let alone a church knight...
"You are a very experienced God, how come you don't even have a stable church?" Sui Xiong asked in confusion.
The delicate girl who was the incarnation of the God of Literature and Art let out a long sigh and expressed His difficulties.
Most of the followers of the God of Literature and Art are artists, and most of them are nobles and adventurers. However, adventurers have no fixed residence and often wander around. The pampered nobles may be willing to pay, but they are unlikely to contribute their efforts for the gods.
Although in theory, if you have money, you can recruit people. But since the rise of the God of Nobles, He has strictly controlled the behavior of nobles supporting other churches. Under the constraints of the Church of the God of Nobles, many churches that originally relied on the support of the nobles to maintain their operations are gradually disintegrating, especially the God of Literature and Art.
His church originally relied on theaters to exist, but most of these theaters were actually the property of nobles, and only a handful belonged to the Church of the God of Literature and Art. Under the pressure of the Church of the God of Nobles, first of all, the theaters whose property rights belonged to the nobles were rapidly transformed. Then, those theaters that originally belonged to the Church of the God of Literature and Art were also squeezed out to the point where they could no longer maintain and had to close down one by one.
Not long ago, the last theater belonging to the Church of the God of Literature and Art finally closed down. Although this is not a heavy blow to the faith sustained by the love of art, for the church, it is like a catastrophe.
So when Sui Xiong expressed his willingness to provide shelter for the believers of the God of Literature and Art, allowing them to build a theater here and maintain a stable church, the God of Literature and Art was really moved and sighed.
"I helped him when he became a god... I didn't expect that the final result would be like this... "
Sui Xiong just listened to the sighs of the God of Literature and Art - to be lamented, only the God of Knights was lamenting. Could He be more lamented than the original patron saint of mankind
But for the Church of the God of Literature and Art to settle in the amusement park, he welcomed it with at least seven or eight tentacles.
Money, one person can't make it all. When the cake gets bigger, everyone eats it together, which is the way to behave in the world.
Most believers of the God of Literature and Art are not difficult to get along with, and their arrival of versatile talents will go a long way in improving the cultural atmosphere of the entire amusement park, and will also play a great role in improving the image of the amusement park in the entire civilized world.
So the two gods finally reached an agreement happily. Sui Xiong also invited the god of literature and art to stay for a casual meal. Unfortunately, the god of literature and art seemed to have something urgent and left in a hurry.
But dealing with another god is less pleasant.
Koladema, the god of underground caves and underground ruins, also known as the "Lord of Darkness Underground", has medium divine power.
This god is not a human being, but a black dragon from ancient times. It lived in a dark cave that no one knew about, kept growing, and finally entered the realm of the gods. It killed the cave god of the previous generation, seized the priesthood of "Underground Cave", and claimed that it was the master of all underground ruins. The master of "Underground Ruins" has established the priesthood of "Underground Ruins" over a long period of time. In the process of establishing these two priesthoods, it killed people wantonly and caused countless bloody storms.
Now, he is the only known god who possesses these two divine positions, and his power has long surpassed that of the divine positions, and he is recognized as the top power among the gods. He has a status close to the god kings of various pantheons.
This is an amazing thing. You must know that among intelligent creatures, there are many who like to live underground. But even among the most powerful dwarves, there is only the "God of Shallow Caves, Underground Exploration and Mining" in the pantheon. They are just a little sidelined and do not dare to reach out blatantly towards Koladema's sphere of influence.
This god was quite cheerful, and without even exchanging greetings, he directly explained his purpose.
"Those deep underground caves and the ruins inside the caves all belong to me." The tall and thin man with black skin, the incarnation of the black dragon god, said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Young junior, I don't mind you. Use them for profit, but you must hang my holy symbols in caves and ruins, and let my followers manage them. Of course, offerings to me are also indispensable."
Sui Xiong was silent for a while and asked: "Since you are the God of Cave, you must also know that I dug this underground labyrinth with my own hands. I built the underground city in the labyrinth with my own hands. Every brick and tile is mine. The fruits of labor. If you have any opinions, why didn’t you come to me in the past few years?”
"Why would I have any objection?" Koladema raised her eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "I'm very happy to see your behavior!"
"Since you have no objection to my digging underground mazes and building underground cities, why are you jumping out to fight for it now?" Sui Xiong frowned and said in a deep voice, "It belongs to me!"
"The underground caves and ruins all belong to me." Koladema still said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter how they came from. All underground caves and ruins belong to me."
Sui Xiong took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his chest, and asked, "Even if it was built by another god himself?"
"Of course!" Koladema laughed loudly, "I am still very satisfied with your behavior of showing my glory. I want to commend you..."
Sui Xiong sneered, not bothering to listen to what he had to say. He waved his tentacles, and the surrounding space rippled like water waves. The incarnation of Koladema suddenly flew out like a cannonball fired from the barrel of a cannon. , I don’t know where it flew.
"Where does this lunatic come from..." After flicking the annoying guy away, Sui Xiong rubbed his temples with his tentacles and muttered secretly, "There are so many famous people! Even if you dig a hole, you can lead to a local dog that screams to declare his sovereignty." …”
