Chapter 1629 Frogampfog (Seventeen) Repair
1g&fog (17) revision
After the clown left, another villain came over and said to me:
My name is Roland, I was once the best archer in the Sheep Kingdom,
My former friend Berkeley was the country’s soccer champion.
There is a tradition in our country that every year during the Carnival there is an archery competition and a ball game.
Berkeley was always going to win, and he was probably the most popular guy besides the King,
There were always many people around him, and I was proud to have such good friends.
One day I went to the Parthen Kingdom to fight for the king,
When I came back, my wife Emilia cheated on me with my best friend.
She thought I was dead and asked Berkeley to get close to her and take care of her,
Oh, how I wished that festering wound had killed me, or I wouldn't have had to watch that scene.
Poor man.
I said to Roland with sympathy,
Women are always easily deceived.
Roland went on to say: In the Sheep Kingdom, the football champion and the baker have enough appeal to mobilize civilians to participate in the struggle.
In order to make the situation less serious, the king asked Berkeley and I to use a maypole to resolve the conflict.
I asked: What is a maypole?
Rowland said:
When a contradiction cannot be adjusted by law, we will erect a maypole.
There are poor people on one side and rich people on the other, or two hostile forces.
Take that pillar as the center of the circle and fight within a certain range.
The loser will be expelled from the kingdom.
I asked: Why are you not dead?
Rowland said:
If no one helps him cheat, the damn person should be Berkeley,
He always won and brought wealth to the rich and aristocrats,
The Sheep Kingdom has reached reconciliation with the Parthen Kingdom, the Eagle and Rooster Kingdom, and the Wild Boar Kingdom.
The old king ruled the country by organizing many absurd shows, large balls and banquets, and events that were popular with the masses.
It seems like every day is a carnival, but in fact the people in this country are very ignorant.
One summer, people saw snake images on cherry trees, plum trees, and apple trees, plus some omens.
The common people said that eggs and herrings contained small snakes, so they stopped eating eggs and herrings.
I asked: Do you know that there is a devil in the palace?
Roland said: I have never seen the devil, but I have seen a witch uglier than the devil. She is very jealous of the beauty of the moon. Maybe she is casting a spell.
I asked: Are there witches in your kingdom?
Roland said: She is generally a good person. Thanks to her potion, I can come back alive.
I asked: Who else in this kingdom has the strength to fight?
Roland shook his head: The people believe that football games are the real business, and even duels are symbolic, and no casualties are allowed.
I said: Your king is a kind man.
Roland smiled sarcastically: I won the victory for those people, but they shouted "throw away those who should be blasted away" because the conflict will affect the atmosphere of the festival. I know some people...
I interrupted him and asked: Do you plan to use your whining to gain sympathy from others and rebel against you?
Only women will cry and men will take action. If you don't be strong and expose your weakness, you will still be bullied.
Roland asked: What should I do?
I said: I want you to stay angry. An angry soldier is worth gold. I want more people like you, so that I will have a mountain of gold.
You will have a golden mountain.
After Roland finished speaking, he stepped back. At this moment, the clown came over and said to my ear:
Emilia has died in childbirth, and the King of Football is planning to marry a new wife.
I asked: Who is it?
The clown said: Moon, the Ball King's family is engaged in the carpet weaving industry. He has formed an alliance with the white baker. The justice is the Ball King's counselor, and Roland was once a Guards officer.
I said: I heard that the king is a wise man.
The Harlequin said: He is a wise man, because the reputation of Roland the Archer in the army has exceeded that of the old king.
I feel pity for the old king. He is too old to ride a horse or fight in wars.
It's a pity that he only has a daughter who is so beautiful that she gets into trouble. It would be great if he had a son.
================================================== ===============
St. Helena is humid all year round. It is covered by clouds and fog for more than 300 days every year. The humidity usually remains at 74%, but it can easily reach 100%. Therefore, even if everything is not seriously wet, it will not stay dry all the time. The British Government The East India Company came to this place. In the past, the East India Company used it as a water replenishment station.
Napoleon was very afraid of the cold. Whether it was to keep warm or to remove moisture, lighting a fire was inevitable.
His "cell" contained a billiards room, which was completely painted his favorite green because the East India Company had plenty of green paint. Because the emerald green extracted by the arsenic-containing dye was very bright, people also called the dye "Paris Green". Queen Victoria had an entire lounge in Buckingham Palace painted with this green color, and there were also flowers and plants. pattern.
The day after Napoleon's death, the body was placed in the billiard room for dissection. The technique was similar to that of mummification. In fact, in addition to the French, the British were also engaged in research in Egypt. In 1830, not only Napoleon died, but also George IV. Well, maybe these mummies were buried by the British for some reason.
George IV was England's famously mean king, widely believed to have been lenient only to tailors, decorators and mistresses.
But in fact, Napoleon admired the regent very much and thought he was a man of noble character. This may be because Napoleon was already a prisoner when he wrote the letter, and some kind words could help him leave that ghost place on St. Helena Island. Or maybe as he gets older, his vision is not as sharp as when he was young.
When he was a prisoner, he met a fifteen-year-old girl named Betsy. She was the daughter of an East India Company employee. At this time, Napoleon showed his charming side again. He was not a huge man as the British publicized. The ogre, with an eye in the center of its forehead, used its long fangs to tear the little girl to pieces.
On the contrary, he has a charming, educated smile, and his dark brown hair is as smooth and silky as a child's. Betsy didn't speak French well, but he could listen patiently. At the same time, he was also learning to speak English, and the friendship between the two began. It didn't take long for Betsy to be fascinated by him and give her her first kiss. .
But occasionally he would show another side of himself. Once Napoleon tested Betsy on the capitals of various countries. He asked which city the capital of Russia was. Betsy answered that it was St. Petersburg, which used to be Moscow.
Then he suddenly turned around, stared at Betsy with sharp eyes, and then asked sternly, "Who burned Moscow?"
Betsy was frightened and couldn't speak for a long time, until he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you know very well that it was me who burned it."
So Betsy quickly corrected herself, thinking that the Russians burned it themselves.
It’s no wonder that Mary-Louise didn’t follow him to St. Helena to suffer and remarry another man. This was not only because of the bad climate there, but also because of his moody personality.
Love can make a person's heart burst with incomparable passion, but the middle-aged Napoleon Bonaparte made the lives of those close to him indifferent, calm, and uninteresting. No normal person could live a lifetime with him.
Fifteen years of political life turned the young, impulsive and passionate artillery lieutenant into a monster.
Even old fool Albus Dumbledore eventually grew too old to feel love and was wounded by it.
All he had left was regret, and the impulse that drove him to wear the resurrection ring was to make up for that lack.
Severus stood in front of the sculpture of Voltaire placed in the living room of the National Library of France. Legend has it that Voltaire's heart was stored in a small box, with a sentence written on the box: My heart is here. , but my spirit is everywhere.
"On Ariana's tombstone there is the epitaph 'Where the treasure is, there the heart is'." He said to himself as he looked at the sculpture, "You feel that Dumbledore's spirit is also everywhere." ?”
No one answered him, including the sculpture.
"Although the Dark Lord has disappeared, there are still believers who believe that he will be resurrected again. I think he has achieved his goal of eternal life." Severus said proudly.
"How did you know I was here?" a woman asked.
"I smell your perfume." Severus said. "Although the savior will wear his invisibility cloak, he forgets how much sweat he smells after exercising. I'm afraid it can only be found in the smelly Gryffindor." You can't smell him in the lounge."
Cloris Roland lifted off the invisibility cloak on her body.
"What are you doing here?" Severus asked.
"Last time you came to our place, we didn't provide you with any help." Cloris said softly, and then took out a mirror from her arms. "I think it can help you."
Severus turned around and looked at her with incomprehensible eyes.
"You don't have to do this. No one is asking you to help."
"I think I'm just expressing 'her' will. She was very good at finding things when she was alive." Cloris stroked the mirror and said, "You lost something, right?"
"I have nothing to lose," Severus said stiffly.
"What do you think Napoleon would see if he stood in front of the Mirror of Erised?" Cloris said.
"His son." Severus said without hesitation. "That's what he wants most."
"Don't you need it?" Cloris asked.
"Unlike him, I have an empire to be inherited by future generations." Severus sneered.
"But she hopes you can have offspring, do you think I'm right?" Cloris asked.
"That's not important." Severus shook his head. "One day she will go to school, and whether she sees Snape's or Prince's name, she will attract attention."
"What if you don't study in Europe?" Cloris said.
"I want my wife back," Severus said.
"You will still have children after she comes back. I am discussing the future with you."
"Enough." He growled lowly.
"You are fighting Voldemort for a happy and dreamable future, right?" Cloris said loudly, "In order to protect the integrity of her soul, you will never compromise, even if the spiritual weapon is considered a white weapon. magic."
Severus looked back at her.
"Take it, I think you will need it." Chloris put the mirror on the table and turned away.
After she left, Severus walked to the side of the table and picked up the mirror. The face reflected in the mirror was not his own.
"Snape!" Conseil suddenly rushed in with a thick book in his hand. "Come and look at this!"
He put away the mirror and walked towards Count Leroy, who looked solemn.
