Chapter 47: Who Should Be Sent to the Gallows?
In the western suburbs of Paris, France, there is a world-renowned great palace, which is a splendid pearl of human art, not to mention the palace's millions of square meters of land and vast gardens, her palace architecture alone shows unparalleled beauty.
Louis XIV was a power-hungry narcissistic monarch who was disgusted with the free-spirited Baroque and turned to the French classical approach to architecture, but at the same time adopted a different form of flat roof, with a large scale and a tightly symmetrical layout system, which made the palace majestic and majestic.
No visitor who comes to her will miss the chance to see this splendid palace, but this team with the belief of slaughtering the first generation is clearly not here for sightseeing.
The slender arm of the young man in the mask reached behind his back and grasped the grip of the weapon that was wrapped in bandages, obviously he had also seen the magnificent view of the Palace of Versailles, but the almost identical palace in front of him brought only a chill that suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, and at this time only this familiar grip could bring him peace.
It took a while for the drinking uncle to come to his senses, he picked up the bottle and put it back in his bag, no longer looking at the main hall and the gate in front of him, but at the corridor behind them and the side palaces on both sides of the corridor that also impressed him.
He squatted down on the spot, his hands on his forehead, his eyes closed as if to confirm his memory, and the people around him invariably quieted down after asking each other's eyes, while guarding his surroundings.
After about ten minutes of mutual exchange, he stood up again and walked over, Chen Mo asked, "Can you be sure?" ”
"Well, it's pretty much certain that the basic layout here, the location of the palace, including the architectural style, is definitely based on the Palace of Versailles."
The uncle forced a bitter smile on his face: "It's ridiculous, isn't it? But it's true. ”
Noel Watt lowered his voice and said, "You mean that this relic was built later than the time of Louis XIV?" Even the dragon kings imitated human creations when they built their palaces? It's illogical. ”
Chen Mo nodded in agreement: "It's really illogical, according to the research of the secret party, dragons have the ability to appreciate art that is not inferior or even beyond human beings, they have a civilization that belongs to dragons, which of course includes architectural civilization, we all know that dragons are extremely arrogant creatures, they may really be amazed by the wonders of civilization like the Palace of Versailles, but they will definitely not imitate and treat it as their own dormitory." ”
However, the word logic is often broken.
"So we're going to face a dragon king who doesn't have the pride of dragons?" Fingal shook his head and sighed:
"Anyway, our secret party has always been unscrupulous and bad, and the pride of the dragon clan is our help, but you say that this is a good dragon who humbly accepts the essence of human civilization, which sounds much trickier than those dragons who come out of the coffin but don't know that the times have changed."
Parcy Gattuso, who had never spoken, muttered a proverb:
"Knowing your enemy is the first step in dealing with your enemy."
This is Gattuso's motto.
"Maybe there are other explanations." Chen Mo paused and asked Noel Watt: "At the site of the camp, has the Executive Department found any relevant information on the excavation of the relics?" For example, how the people who were looking for this relic found it. ”
"There is a log left by Laurent's people at the scene, it is the people of the scientific expedition team who saw the shadow under the ice dome when they passed through this area, and then found that the back side of this hill has the edge of the ruins exposed due to the melting of the ice surface, and the scientific expedition team has Laurent's subordinates looking for the ruins, not a half-blood, but I have learned a lot of relevant information about judging the dragon ruins, and after judging the existence of dragon ruins under the ice dome, they reported to their superiors, and the hybrids sent by Laurent also held the same opinion, and immediately organized a team to excavate."
Looking forward from here, there are indeed some buildings behind the farthest main hall that are sunken in the ice, but it is doubtful whether there is an exposed place in the building, here you can see a lot of icicles that are not naturally formed at first glance to support the ice dome above, God knows what unimaginable technology the dragons used to keep this place from collapsing, as long as this place still conforms to the basic force structure, the thickness of the ice around the bottom layer cannot be small.
But none of this is enough solid evidence, and the process of discovering the ruins doesn't sound too much of a problem.
August's deep and rugged voice came at the right time: "There will be no result in this discussion, will it?" There was a visible firmness on the face of the giant bear-like man: "All of us should have the consciousness of dying here, and if this place really resembles the layout of that Louis XIV's palace, it will be good for us, right?" ”
The uncle nodded in agreement: "I know the overall structure of the Palace of Versailles very well, and I can say that I am as familiar with it as my own home, but this is the sleeping palace of the Dragon King after all." He turned back and pointed to the corridor, "This is what the Dragon King added, I think the purpose is similar to the fence used by the official management of tourists during the tourist season, and the beast wants us to take the path he designed." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the brute is watching us from the King's Chambers in the main hall." He pointed straight ahead, and through the not-so-high gate, he could see the center of the main hall behind him, where Louis XIV was his bedchamber.
The dormitory is located on the central axis of the palace, in the western suburbs of Paris, where the emperor who guillotined his dynasty with his own hands was able to see the sunrise through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the front, while the doors and windows leading to the Hall of Mirrors on the back were sealed for various reasons.
In fact, the main halls of the main hall of the Palace of Versailles all have allegorical names, from Venus to Ares to Apollo, the sun god Apollo, the Apollo room is where Louis XIV received his ministers, he proudly compared himself to the glorious sun god, completely unconcerned about being sealed behind his back, the inevitable sunset every day, but it was this "sun god" who pressed the Louis dynasty to the west mountain, toppling the dominoes of the sunset, leaving his children with a mess.
Ironically, Louis XVI, who was the one who was sent to the gallows, was the one who was sent to the gallows compared to the grandfather who died of old age and his father who shouted loudly, "When I die, no matter how big the flood is".
But will the masses who started the Great Revolution care about this? Their goal was to bring down the imperial power, not to kill the mediocre king, which sounds similar but is not the same.
Thinking about the old things of hundreds of years ago, the uncle who walked slowly to the door of the main hall smiled self-deprecatingly, isn't his group of people also going to judge the king's people? It's not because the dragon that may have just been born from the egg did anything, but that dragons should not have existed in the age of man, and the same reason that the king should not have lived in the time of the revolution.
He stabbed his finger into the door's teeth again.
The living spirit sucked his blood, but the door remained shut.
"Tsk." He smacked his lips and thought, 'Why did the Dragon King turn away these envoys who had already tried to see the daggers?' It could only be because he wasn't ready to kill. ’
