Chapter II. Mysterious obsidian platform
"Wait, inside the main office?!"
Chopin was slightly stunned, opened his eyes and immediately turned his head to look at the bed behind him, which had been carefully packed up by the little maid, and the expensive velvet quilt was neatly stacked, he couldn't help frowning, and past the pretty little maid who was still puzzled, he walked directly to the door of the room, while asking the middle-aged women's game instructor in his mind: "You mean, the place where I live now is the Consulate's Residence?" ”
Chopin, the consul's residence, is no stranger, this is the most elementary government building in the capital of "Empire: Total War", which is originally used for two purposes of residence and office for officials, which is equivalent to an office building for both commercial and residential purposes, but it also has a military purpose, after all, it is the most elementary government building, and the beginning of the recruitment of soldiers is carried out here.

But as a die-hard fan of "Empire: Total War", Chopin also can't understand that he is a king of France, and not only does he live in a palace that exists at the beginning, but also a consul's residence that only exists in other secondary regions, which is indeed a little puzzling.
Even if it is a primary palace, the various bonuses given to the city and the size and type of soldiers recruited are not comparable to the basic administrative buildings such as the consul's residence, especially the bonus of the primary palace to the city, and the maintenance of the stability of the noble class and the commoner class, which is quite good.
"That's right, this is the consul's residence, not the Palais de Paris."
The game instructor immediately provided an answer to his doubts, and the middle-aged woman projected directly on his retina, forming an indicated route in front of him by the way, and continued to speak in that calm, almost cold mechanical synthesized voice: "This is one of the reasons for the data loss, and small changes have been made according to the fusion of the rules of the game and the rules of this world. ”
"Minor changes?"
Chopin showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, a small range of changes means that the game and this real world, most of them are still about the same, but he can also imagine that the strategic map was turn-based before, and when he came to this world, it should have become a real time to calculate, otherwise it will take a few rounds to build buildings and recruit soldiers, and it will take a few rounds and a few rounds, which is really blinding, after all, the round is simple to say in the game, in this real world, what is called a round, it is really not good to say.
"Good morning, Your Majesty the King."
Reaching out and pushing open the exquisite door made of high-quality teak, a wide and exquisite corridor appeared in front of Chopin, a typical Western layout, and at the same time, the sound of leather boots stomping on the ground was instantly heard on both sides of the door, mixed with the clanging sound of metal clashing, and the voice of firmness and admiration sounded: "Salute to you!" Your Majesty! ”
Seeing Chopin look over, the two soldiers wearing golden and red French royal guard uniforms outside the door immediately straightened their chests, leaned on their left shoulder with a flintlock pistol in their left hand, and put their right hand into a fist in front of their chest, bowing their heads slightly, but their eyes were absolutely respectful.
"Good morning, soldier."
Chopin smiled and nodded, this is his only guard, in a sense equivalent to the royal security personnel, but they have been trained since childhood, not only can they use flintlock pistols, but also can wield a war horse and wield a saber for hand-to-hand combat, and if Chopin goes out, they also have to follow for protection.
In fact, it's just a matter of thinking about it, although the game can't directly let the king and cabinet members enter the battlefield, but when they are transferred to the real world, there are definitely people to protect, especially the king who is the lord of a country, and he should have the Praetorian Guard, the Guards and other troops to guard, if there is no protection from these guards, Chopin will be a little scared in his heart to be honest.
The consul's residence is richly decorated, made entirely of fine stone and wood, and a large number of oil paintings, sculptures, plants and other works of art are lined up, and officials in ornate but serious costumes walk lightly in it, and from time to time you can see important corners and corridors, and the French royal guards in serious military uniforms also patrol from time to time, but when they see Chopin all standing straight, they bow their heads and touch their chests to say hello.
Chopin also smiled and nodded, in the three days he came here, in fact, he has generally understood a lot, after all, it is a monarchical France, if he is too close to the people, then it still has an impact on the prestige of the national leader, but this is also some kind of game data, and it is not necessary for Chopin to pay too much attention to it now.
According to the gamemaster, his inhabitants will always be loyal and locked, although there will be riots and disgust, but there will never be rebellion, even if there are three systems of monarchy, republican government, and constitutional monarchy in the imperial war, as long as Chopin does not die, then no matter which kind of ruling system it changes, there will be no accidents.
"Right in front of you is the main office, which is amazing and shocking."
Chopin walked forward, and the little maid followed him carefully, but in Levi's mind, the voice of the game administrator sounded, but it was a little unstable, and the middle-aged woman with retinal projection said: "This world is just a simple understanding, although it is similar, but it is completely different from the previous rules. ”
"Completely different?"
Chopin frowned slightly, there were also two royal guards standing outside the main office, and when they saw him coming, they immediately saluted and opened the door, and he walked in with the little maid, and there were also two men with white wigs, dressed in gentleman's clothes, and holding glasses, who were whispering around a black round platform, as if they were studying something.
Gently touching his chin, Chopin walked over gently from behind, these two people are obviously scholars, and they are responsible for dueling and stealing enemy technology research personnel in the game, and they can also be stationed in the academy to speed up the progress of research, quite a good special personnel. And now the appearance of these two scholars is obviously some kind of research in real life, and Chopin still doesn't want to bother too much.
"Oh, Your Majesty."
However, as if sensing something, one of them turned his head slightly, only to find that it was Chopin, and immediately greeted his companion next to him, straightened his collar and blouse, and bowed very respectfully and elegantly: "I am sorry, Your Majesty, that we were studying this wonderful thing and did not notice your arrival. ”
"It's okay, what are you studying?"
The gamekeeper didn't speak in his mind, and Chopin was used to her style, looking at the black platform behind the two scholars, unpretentious, and out of place with the exquisite French-style decorations around him, he couldn't help frowning: "This thing... It looks a little weird. ”
This black platform seems to be made of obsidian, but looking at the lines, there is a kind of metallic luster and the heaviness of the earth, there is no fragile appearance like obsidian, and there is a wonderful and mysterious ornamentation on it, I don't know the carving and tattooing, but in Chopin's eyes... It's as if it was formed naturally!
"That's right, Your Majesty, the preliminary conclusions are natural, based on the observations of the two of us."
The two scholars leaned slightly sideways, one of them helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose, first stretched out his hand and smiled slightly, showing Chopin the direction he was pointing, that is, in the middle of the stone platform, there was a faint outline, and there seemed to be many points of light in it, and the scholar also gently knocked on the stone platform that seemed to be obsidian, and sighed in a tone of disbelief: "If this is a gift from God, I think it seems to be so." ”
Another scholar also slowly pursed his mouth, looked at Chopin next to him, gently stretched out his hand to draw a cross on his chest, and then took a step forward to stare at the obsidian platform with flashing points of light, stretched out his hands and put them on it, turned his head to look at his companion, and received a nod of encouragement from his companion, before looking at Chopin and said slowly: "Your Majesty, please look at this amazing scene." ”
"Buzz, buzz—"
Before Chopin could react, the obsidian stone platform in front of him instantly began to undergo some changes, the black ripples on the surface gradually sliding, and those points of light instantly floated up to form some kind of three-dimensional figure, and the scholar's hands were in the middle of the figure, as if they were God's hands of control, holding the points of light that had become larger.
"Wait... That doesn't seem right..."
But Chopin was stunned suddenly, looking at the three-dimensional figure in the scholar's hand, swallowed slightly, frowned tightly in disbelief, and his mind turned rapidly, he looked at another scholar next to him, took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, and said in surprise: "This is... Holographic stereoscopic projection?! ”
But this world is the world after the time, and there is no miniaturized holographic stereoscopic projection in the world in the previous life, not to mention this vivid projection, the protrusions and recesses on it, as well as some of the other items, as well as the messy little things, just let him find this thing at a glance, it seems to be an island!
The protrusion is a mountain, the depression is a depression, the other thing seems to be a beach, the clutter is a forest of trees, and at the edge of this holographic stereo projection, there is a rippling light, if nothing else, it seems to be the ocean!
"This is the island we're on, if the two of us are not wrong in our guesses."
The scholar next to him spoke slowly, he took a deep breath, looked at the two hands in the holographic projection, and also reached out and gently touched the rippled light on the side, but the corners of his mouth suddenly brought a wonderful smile, he looked at Chopin and said softly: "Your Majesty, if you haven't guessed wrong, our island is drifting forward." ”
