Theo Jescott, the Belgian architect, compensated his wife and soldiers, and suffered heavy losses, and put his remaining savings in again. He was extremely regretful and deeply blamed himself for being a little reckless. What he still couldn't understand was why Wan'er could draw such accurate numbers based on just his words?

Theo Yescote regretted that he shouldn't have given Wan'er such a test question, but the ending has already appeared and there is no regret medicine in the world. Theo Yescote can only admit defeat this time. He understood that in this situation, it was meaningless to argue more, but it just added to other people's jokes.

When Theo Yescott left the "World Architecture Arena" in shame, he challenged Italian architect Benedetto.

Benedetto has a strong influence not only in Italy, but also in Europe. The reason is that Benedetto is a church designer, especially good at designing "Romanesque" churches. His church architectural works are spread throughout the European continent and have become a must-visit holy place for travel.

Benedetto was unwilling to come and challenge, but when he saw that a girl as young as Wan'er dared to challenge the architectural design masters all over the world, he was really angry. So he traveled thousands of miles to the American continent to challenge, determined to defeat Wan'er with his strengths.

Benedetto is over 60 years old and is a senior church architectural design master. When he seemed very casual and entered the challenge venue, he looked at Wan'er with a smile and said:

"Wan'er baby, seeing you are so cute, I, the old man, are very reluctant to bully you. But you are really bullying too much. I have to come forward to meet you. Please don't blame me for bullying the young."

"Hehe..." Wan'er smiled, and she said to Benedetto: "I said, grandpa, you shouldn't have stood up at such a young age, so it doesn't matter how you bully me. I'm just afraid that if you make any mistakes, you will be in an accident if you can't think about it."

"Nonsense!" Benedetto was a little unhappy when he heard Wan'er say this. He said, "I have never seen any scene in my life? I feel a little embarrassed to compare buildings with a yellow-haired girl like you. If you weren't too arrogant, I wouldn't bother paying attention to you. Now I will test your knowledge about church architecture first to see if you are worth a fight with me."

Wan'er shrugged her shoulders casually and said softly: "You just let the horse come over!"

Benedetto nodded slightly when he saw that Wan'er had no fear on his face. He praised Wan'er a little. So he asked Wan'er:

"What kind of architecture is the monument of what kind of architecture is the Cologne Cathedral in Germany? When you stand in the center of its 50-meter-high hall, you will find that there are almost no walls between the tall columns and only the same tall windows. Do you know how much of its total window area is?"

This kind of knowledge has long been deeply rooted in Wan'er's mind. After hearing what Benedetto asked, she couldn't help but laugh, and she said to Benedetto:

"Grandpa. Do you look down on me a little? Why did you come up with such a simple question?"

Benedetto glared in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "What is simple or not? Let me talk about it first, can you answer it?"

Wan'er's smile became stronger, and she slowly said, "What's the difficulty? The Cologne Cathedral in Germany is a monument of European Gothic architecture. The complex spire and dazzling stained glass windows are its most unique features. The top of the church is lined with spires, and from a distance, it looks like a towering stone forest, piercing the sky. When you step into the church, you feel like you have stepped into the deep and vast sky. The huge columns support the huge arched dome, expanding a vast and high space like a fairyland. The total area of ​​its windows is more than 10,000 square meters, all inlaid with painted glass. It is colorful under the reflection of the sun, and people are like walking into a giant kaleidoscope."

Wan'er's answers were serene, which surprised Benedetto a little. He immediately followed and asked Wan'er, "Can you tell me the artistic characteristics of Gothic church architecture?"

Wan'er did not directly answer Benedetto's question. She asked Benedetto in turn: "Grandpa, I don't know how many questions you are going to ask me? Are you here to challenge me just asking questions until I ask me down?"

Benedetto's old face turned red slightly. He said, "I'll ask this last question. If you can answer it successfully, I will lose the challenge."

"If you fail to challenge, can you give me the comfort gift you get?" Wan'er's face showed innocence, and her smile was even more fascinating.

Benedetto gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Yes, as long as you can answer my question correctly. What's the point of giving you a gift from a small outside of your body?"

Wan'er happily slapped her little slap, and she said happily: "Grandpa, for your age, Wan'er won't bet with you. Just give your gifts. Anyway, all of those things were prepared by Mr. Ge Zi. I'll just collect all these things this time."

"Imagination!" Benedetto couldn't help scolding Wan'er when she heard this.

"I'm telling the truth." Wan'er was full of confidence and was unreasonable. She said to Benedetto with some displeasure: "Grandpa, why are you disrespectful to me when you speak? Who is delusional?"

Benedetto was even more proud when he saw that Wan'er seemed to be a little confident. He looked at Wan'er with a mocking look and said, "Then you answer! I don't believe that you, a little girl, can understand so much. Even if you start learning from your mother's womb, you can't read many books. I don't believe that you can answer this question in full."

Wan'er nodded calmly and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the answer I know, but you have to remember not to forget to give the prize you deserve!"

"Hmph, that's the premise that your answer will satisfy me."

Wan'er no longer has a verbal battle with Benedetto. She said with her inherently beautiful childish voice: "The artistic characteristics of Gothic church architecture first set a new record in size and height. From the height of the church's middle hall, the central hall of Cologne Cathedral in Germany is as high as 48 meters; from the height of the church's bell tower, the church in Ulm in Germany is as high as 161 meters. Secondly, the upward movement of the body is very strong, and the light vertical lines run straight through the whole body. Whether it is the wall or the tower

The more you divide it up, the more delicate the decorations, the more exquisite it is. There are sharp small spires on the top that pierce the sky. Not only are all the tops pointed, but the upper part of the building and the details are also sharp. The entire church is full of upward momentum. This style of modeling, characterized by high, straight, sharp and strong upward momentum, is a reflection of the church's religious thought that abandons the world, and is also a spiritual reflection of the city's strong upward vitality.

If the Romanesque shows the authority of the church with its strong, solid and unshakable shape, and its form has the meaning of retro inheritance in tradition, then the Gothic style embodies the sacred spirit of the church with the rough, unrestrained, agile and ascending power of the barbarians. Its helical lines, strange space displacement, and through the colorful lights and various light and exquisite carved decorations of the stained glass windows, comprehensively creates a "non-human" realm, giving people a sense of mystery. Some people say that Roman architecture is a palace on the ground, while Gothic architecture is a divine palace in heaven.

The structure of Gothic churches changes, creating a flame-like momentum, bringing people's thoughts to the "kingdom of heaven", and successfully embodying religious concepts. People's vision and emotions have a feeling of being close to God and heaven as the spire as they rise upwards.

Gothic architecture shows a kind of impulse of human thought. It is no longer a pure religious building or a military fortress, but a cultural symbol of the city, indicating that a little limited freedom was obtained in the darkest medieval times. People will find a trace of real world sunshine penetrated into the dark medieval times. Together with Gothic architecture, beautiful stained glass window paintings were born. This painting also became the Bible of illiterate believers. The round rose window symbolizes heaven, and various saints boarded the colorful glass windows, which resembled a colorful stage picture. When people approached the church, they not only produced a magical feeling of heaven, but also a decorative beauty. Because it was a glass painting that could be bright according to the penetration of light, it was fascinating with the wonder of its light."

Of course, Wan'er's answers are extremely accurate, because all of these answers come from the Internet, they are encyclopedias of Baidu, Wiki, etc. Even Benedetto himself cannot answer Wan'er as delicately.
