Chapter 104: The Russell Memorial Exhibition

West End, 2 King's Avenue, Kingdom Museum.

Although it wasn't a weekend, Klein arrived with a long line at the door.

According to the descriptions of newspapers and magazines, he knew that the middle class in this world had fewer forms of entertainment, and in addition to reading newspapers, reading, listening to opera concerts, playing tennis and squash, enjoying various plays, holding or attending banquets and dances, there were only three options left: going to the park, going to the exhibition, and going on vacation, and because of the influence of Russell the Great, annual leave was already a relatively common phenomenon in this class.

At nine o'clock, Crane, wearing a half-height silk top hat, a black cane, and a double-breasted long gown, took the ticket and followed the people in front of him into the museum step by step.

There is a diversion here, and different docents lead a part of the visitors through different passages.

Klein and a dozen or twenty people followed behind a good-looking woman and listened to her talk about Russell's life.

This didn't mean anything to Klein, who was half a historian, so he boredly confirmed the location of his wallet.

- Because his wealth had surged to 952 pounds, and he was only one step away from 1,000 pounds, his wallet could no longer hold so much cash, so he could only selectively carry some of it, and the rest, Crane did not worry about staying at home unprotected, so he threw it all into the gray mist.

As they walked, they entered the first exhibition hall, and the female docent said excitedly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, these are the objects of Russell the Great's daily life. ”

"You see, that's the velvet quilt he covered, and that's the gold-encrusted glassware he used to drink wine. ”

"It was the flush toilet he had ever used, the first flush toilet in the modern sense. ”

......

Even the used toilet was put on display?Klein suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Russell.

Immediately, he looked at the toilet bowl behind the glass wall, and saw that it was shining gold, and the surface seemed to have a layer of gold leaf and intricate and exaggerated artistic patterns.

What a luxury...... Klein no longer sympathized with Russell.

Separated from the toilet by only a layer of glass is Russell's everyday clothing, including shirts with pleated decorations on the cuffs and neckline.

It can be seen that the female docent is quite appreciative of Intis's clothing culture.

After the "daily exhibition hall" are the original manuscripts of important documents promulgated by Russell, including the Civil Code and other historical relics of great value.

At this moment, the female docent pointed to a display case and said:

This is one of the notes left by Russell the Great, using his original and mysterious symbols that have not been deciphered so far, and many historians and archaeologists believe that these notes should be the most unknown secrets of Russell the Great. ”

"As a romantic, I have my own guess that perhaps this is the symbol of the agreement between Russell the Great and the woman he loved the most, and they recorded each other, but they could never really be together. ”

You're well suited to write ...... The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, and his eyes turned to the notebook spread out in the display case, on which was Chinese Simplified Chinese, which he was extremely familiar with:

"March 6th, Mom, I'm almost constipated from eating the food here!"

"On March 17th, were the ladies of Intis so open-minded, and it was always strange that I had her, or had she me? ”

"On March 22, it's time to choose a faith, with the Church of the Eternal Sun on one side and the Artisan Church on the other. ”

"There is no doubt about my choice, praise be to you, God of Chances!"

"Someday, I'm going to make the Artisan Church change its name to the Cult of the Mechanicus. ”

...... It's really romantic...... Romantic constipation...... This is supposed to be the diary of Russell the Great through the early days, without any valuable information...... His handwriting is uglier than mine...... Klein withdrew his gaze and sighed.

Of course, he only saw the two pages that were spread out, and what else was left, I don't know.

I don't know how well the security measures are here, if there is a chance to sneak in and look through it...... Crane looked around and saw that there were quite a few security personnel on the surface.

And maybe the extraordinaries of the Church of the God of Steam and Machines...... He muttered, followed the female docent, blended in with the crowd, and entered the next exhibition hall, which was called "Warm Russell".

"This is the first love letter written by Russell the Great, this is the first love poem he wrote, 'When you are old......,'" said the female docent, pointing to the manuscript in the display case with a shiny eye.

Shameless! Yeats's coffin board is almost unpressable! Klein couldn't help but slander in his heart.

"It's a bracelet he made himself...... This is the original manuscript he wrote......" the female docent introduced in an unusually adoring tone.

...... Klein tried not to let his expression change in any way.

Of course, he also believed that Russell the Great, who had a "craftsman" column in the extraordinary profession, must have a strong ability to do manual work.

This is a basic education textbook that he has improved for his children, and each word has a corresponding picture...... It was a little game he invented for his children, similar to Intis chess, but for some reason, the game did not spread...... This is a building block toy he invented, and it is also a ...... for his children," the female docent said with a little warmth unconsciously.

Isn't this TM just chess...... Moreover, Lego wants to ask you for royalties! Klein can only tilt the corners of his mouth to hide other emotions.

He glanced over and saw a woman standing in front of the display case with a height of more than 1.7 meters.

The lady has waist-length chestnut hair and a very well-proportioned figure, neither fat nor thin.

She wore a girly yellow cake dress, but she wore a black old-fashioned soft hat, and the fine tulle hung down to cover her face.

She stood in front of the display case, staring at the contents for a long time.

By the time Klein and the others followed the docent to the next exhibition hall, she still hadn't changed her posture.

After a few more halls, the female docent pointed ahead and said:

"The next thing you will see is the restored study of Russell the Great. ”

"Of course, only part of it. ”

While speaking, Klein and the others entered the exhibition hall, and their eyes were open.

It is almost transformed into a library, surrounded by rows of bookshelves, as high as two floors, with stairs below them and passages between them, forming a three-dimensional book paradise.

"As you can imagine, the owner of this place used to climb up and down the stairs in search of the book he wanted to read...... "The narrator describes a vivid picture.

No, Russell would have asked the servant to look for it, not himself...... Klein silently retorted.

In the center of the row of bookshelves are desks, chairs, brass lampstands, and other things, all of which are covered in glass and do not come into contact with the outside world.

As soon as Klein looked at it, he found a stack of manuscripts, manuscripts with yellowed paper.

The stack of manuscripts was not spread out, so that only the contents of the first page could be seen.

It depicts a rectangular object with detailed instructions:

"It's a portable, miniaturized application of the telegraph that allows you to connect to people who are holding the same items, send and receive messages that you want to exchange with each other, and even talk to each other directly. ”

"This requires better positioning, and I think we can boldly look to the sky, where there are no obstacles, and the signal can be better transmitted. ”

......

Emperor, you don't even let go of your mobile phone...... Crane couldn't help but reach out and cover his face.

At this point, the narrator introduced the stack of manuscripts:

“......... They record the whimsy of Russell the Great, the inventions he has not yet had time to turn into reality, and the brilliance of our human civilization!"

Crane didn't listen to the flattery, and looked at something else.

Suddenly, he noticed a bookmark tucked between a hard-shell book on his desk.

The exposed part of the bookmark depicts an image of a child scribbling.

Russell the Great wasn't good at drawing...... As soon as Klein laughed in his heart, he suddenly remembered something:

Russell once disguised a "blasphemy card" as a bookmark and sandwiched it in a book!

Could it be this? Crane looked at it carefully for a few seconds, but found no clue.

Also, the emperor said that the "blasphemy card" is anti-divination and anti-prophecy, and under normal circumstances, it can't be found at all...... If it was so easy to identify, the Church of Steam and the Mechanics must have taken it long ago...... Crane looked away at the other books, and found that many of them had a bookmark in them, and these bookmarks were of different shapes.

He groaned for a moment, used the ability of the "clown" to control his facial muscles, and asked curiously:

"Are these all books that Russell the Great has read?"

"Sorry, I mean, are these all the original books?"

The female docent nodded affirmatively:

"Yes, these are the items that were in the original Russell the Great's study, including but not limited to books, manuscripts, bookmarks, lampstands, inkwells...... However, many more have been destroyed in several conflicts. ”

Crane bowed his head slightly, looking at the bookmarks again.

Russell mentioned in his diary that he was going to sandwich the "blasphemy card" in a very valuable book, so that everyone would not think that the most valuable thing in that book was actually an inconspicuous bookmark...... Well, which of these books is valuable? Klein recalls the details of the diary to rule it out.

"Glorious Times", unlike ......

"History of the Kingdom of Intis", unlike ......

"Geography of the Northern Continent", this is possible, but it is not high......

Principles of Improvement of Steam Machinery, ibid., ......

Klein swept them one by one, and his gaze suddenly stopped on the stack of manuscripts he first saw.

There is a record of the earth's objects that Russell wanted to invent but could not invent.

There is also a bookmark depicting Russell in the emperor's attire.
