La montaña sagrada

La montaña sagrada 7.9

A thief who looks like Jesus (Hor á cio Salinas) wakes up from a stone strike by children and enters the city with a helpless dwarf. A frenzied celebration was going on in the city, some people were killed, birds flew out of their guns, and a large number of toads dressed in Indian and European colonial costumes were blown to pieces in the melee. The thief took the cross from several men dressed as Roman soldiers, and they made countless models of themselves. The thief climbed a tower that could produce gold in full view of the public, and the warlock in the tower extracted the gold from the thief's feces. The warlock identified several disciples with astrology. They were merchants of masks, weapons dealers, artists, toy dealers, government advisers, army officers, and architects. Seven of them represented different planets. The warlock gathered these figures in control of the country, abandoned everything and went to the legendary sacred mountain in search of immortal secrets.
