Chapter 295, Miracles
As the sun went down, the lights around me became dimmer and the gas lights on the road turned on. In the small square outside the "Moulin Rouge", there are more and more people, and soon it is time for the "Moulin Rouge" to reopen.
At this time, a thin man, accompanied by a beautiful young lady in a low-cut evening gown, walked to the door of the Moulin Rouge.
"Ah, it's Monsieur Genet...... here"
Such voices were heard from the crowd.
Simel Genet was the owner of the Moulin Rouge, and of course it was said that he was just a white glove for some, and that his own stake in the Moulin Rouge was not insignificant, but not too much. But even so, he was widely respected throughout Paris.
Monsieur Genet stood still at the gate of the Moulin Rouge, waved his hand to everyone, and everyone fell silent.
"Dear friends, it's been two weeks, I haven't seen you, I miss you guys!" Monsieur Genet shouted to everyone, "Do you miss me?" β
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter.
Genet looked around, then turned his head very proudly and said to the beautiful woman in a low-cut evening dress beside him, "Nicole, look, how much they like me!" β
The girl named Nicole standing beside him was the pillar of the "Moulin Rouge" during this time, she smiled slightly, took a half step forward, and waved her hand to everyone in the same way as Rene: "Dear friends, I haven't seen you for two weeks, I miss you...... Do you miss me? β
"Nicole! Nicole! β
"I love you, Nicole!"
"We miss you, Nicole!"
The screams and whistles suddenly merged into a tidal wave, rushing straight over, almost knocking people into a stumbling one.
After a while, the tide gradually receded.
"Look, Monsieur Genet, I'm more popular than you." Nicole smiled and said to Genet, who was standing next to her, while gently taking a half-step back to make Rene's position stand out a little more.
"Ah, yes, in terms of popularity, here, there is no one who can compare to you. In fact, any girl at the Moulin Rouge is more popular than me. Geneti said. Then he waved his hand to everyone and said, "In that case, I will not delay you any longer, and now I announce the reopening of the Moulin Rouge, welcome to everyone!" β
With this sound, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and the sun, which had already sunk repeatedly, suddenly rose again. For a time, many people even had to cover their eyes with their hands.
"Ah, my eyes!" Someone even shouted like this.
After a while, everyone gradually got used to it and opened their eyes.
I saw that the world in front of me had completely changed. The glass videos that were originally embedded in the "Moulin Rouge" and the red windmill shine one by one, shining as if the stars in the sky have fallen to the earth. And the stones that grow in the square, towards the building, the glass side also shines brilliantly, projecting pillars of light, illuminating the "Moulin Rouge" as bright as day, no, considering that the surroundings are so dark at this time, under the illumination of these lights, the "Moulin Rouge" is not as bright as day, but it itself has become a light source, itself is shining.
Considering the relatively high location of the "Moulin Rouge", at this moment, even in the city of Paris, people can see the radiant "Moulin Rouge" from afar. Those who did not come to visit, those who could not afford to go to the "Moulin Rouge", at this time, nearly an hour away from the Moulin Rouge by horse-drawn carriage, all saw this glittering building.
"Oh my God, this is ...... This is the Moulin Rouge! It's simply ...... It's like a castle floating in the sky! At the University of Paris, AndrΓ©, who had just come out of the laboratory to take a break, saw the "Moulin Rouge" at a glance, because it was dark all around, but the "Moulin Rouge" was exceptionally bright, and from AndrΓ©'s point of view, it really seemed to be suspended in the night sky.
"It's so beautiful!" At the University of Paris, on the Champ de Mars, everywhere in Paris, countless people looked in the direction of the "Moulin Rouge" and exclaimed such admiration.
"Alas, alas, it's a pity that Joseph and Napoleon always asked me to keep a low profile, otherwise my 'Palace of Elysium' would have been the center of attention." From his balcony, looking at the brightly lit "Moulin Rouge" not far away, Lucien exclaimed.
Those who were nearer were so shocked by the light that they almost lost the ability to speak, and they were silent at first, and then they let out all sorts of strange business, most of which were not words, but simply exclamations.
It took a while for these people to wake up from the shock of the day's return.
"A miracle, it's a complete miracle!"
"Thy kingdom, O God!" A bishop who had changed into civilian clothes and had come to have fun shouted out these words without paying attention.
"Look at those fountains!" Someone suddenly shouted again.
Everyone looked towards the fountain, only to find that there were also colorful rays of light shining from under the water columns of the fountains, which made the water jets from the fountains also shine with various colors.
Then the music started, and it was not unusual, because there was already a band in the Moulin Rouge. But the strange thing is that following the sound of music, various changes began to occur in the fountain, the height of the large fountain in the middle of the fountain fluctuated with the music, and the small fountains around it had long since changed from bubble-like to normal water columns, but this water column also writhed with the rhythm of the music, like a group of dancing girls.
"That's really...... It's so beautiful......"
Among those who came, there were many poets who studied art, both real and false. But at this time, these "poets" only felt that language seemed to have lost all power. So much so that he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and in the end, he just said such a sentence.
Of course, this design came from Joseph's idea, and the musical fountain or something was almost a rotten street thing in later generations. And the musical fountain in front of the "Moulin Rouge" is also unknown to those of later generations. But in the eyes of the people of this era, it can really be called a miracle.
Of course, this set of musical fountains is not without a stronger place than later generations, for example, in terms of intelligence level, this set of musical fountains is definitely better than later generations. The musical fountains of later generations are at most a little "artificial intelligence", but Joseph's set of musical fountains are controlled by "human intelligence" everywhere - the music is played by highly intelligent people, and the people who control any action of the fountain are also human beings with a level of intelligence far beyond the computer.
By this time, the doors of the "Moulin Rouge" had been opened. From the open door also shot a brilliant light. Looking inside, the lights are bright, the huge crystal chandeliers, and various crystal wall lamps reflect the entire hall like a dream.
"Gentlemen, please come with us and walk with us into this dream stage, a new era." Monsieur Genet exclaimed.
That's when people really came to their senses. Everyone followed the two into the "Moulin Rouge", and discussed the magic lamp as they walked.
It wasn't until he stepped through the doors of the "Moulin Rouge" that Caderus came to his senses from the shock, and when he saw that Genet was about to leave before the show began, he hurried after him.
"Monsieur Genet, Monsieur Genet......"
Genet stopped, glanced at him, and then smiled at him, "Mr. Cardrus, I know what you want to ask, but allow me to keep this secret for another night, and tomorrow morning you will see everything you want to know in the newspapers." β
With that, RenΓ© picked up a glass of wine with a ruby sheen from a waiter's tray beside him, raised it to Cardrus, and said to the people around him: "Gentlemen, eat, drink, sing, and rejoice!" Forgive me for now. β
Then he drained the red wine from the glass in one gulp, placed it on the silver plate in the waiter's hand, and then walked through a small door, surrounded by several bodyguards.
"Really, is it necessary to keep it a secret at this time? We do not compete. You are lions, and we are vultures at best. Kaderus couldn't help but think. Then he carefully observed the various arrangements of the hall, which had indeed changed a lot, and he wrote them down in his mind, and at the same time calculated the price of them in his mind.
"The others are okay, I can keep up with them by gritting my teeth, but this light, I don't know how much these lights cost?"
There are definitely a lot of people like Caderus, and in just ten minutes, Caderus met several peers who kept looking around. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of wariness and hatred.
Immediately after that, Caderus discovered another very noteworthy target - the banker, Mr. Beauwon. At this time, he was sitting leisurely on the sofa watching the song and dance.
"How did he get back here?" "Mr. Beauwon," thought Caderus, "is not a man who likes these things at all, he probably knows something, and maybe he has his investment in it, but isn't he short of money right now?" What could be better than meeting a banker when you're short of money? β
So Caderus hurried forward and greeted him: "Mr. Beauwon, I really didn't expect to meet you here. β
"Ah, I invested a sum of money here, and I can't sleep well without seeing the results in person." "Monsieur de Caderus, you and Monsieur Genet are peers, and you look at this renovation of the 'Moulin Rouge,' well, can it make his business better?" β
"Absolutely. Mr. Beauwon, although the capacity of the 'Moulin Rouge' will not increase as a result, people will certainly be more willing to spend money here. β
"You're right, I think so too. Well, Mr. Cardrous, what are you here for? β
"Of course it's for studying, can I sit here?"
"Please." Bowang said.
So Caderus hurriedly sat down beside Beauwan.
