Chapter 1196(1/2)
Chapter 1197 The Sword of the Church
"I didn't know you could actually use a sword, Your Majesty the Prince." Gong Saiyi said, following closely behind Ou Ren.
"It was normal for men to wear swords in our time." Eugene said indifferently, "Just like people in Louis' time wore wigs."
"Since when did you stop wearing clothes with lace and embroidery?" Severus smiled maliciously, as if he had remembered something interesting.
"After the Coup of Brumaire and the Battle of Italy, my father stopped wearing powder, but many people thought he was slovenly." Eugene said, "There were many people in the army who imitated him. They thought he looked very free and easy."
Severus whistled flirtatiously.
"What's your problem?" Ou Ren asked unkindly.
"Who designed your collar?" Severus said provocatively. "It looks just like the bride's wedding dress."
Eugene lowered his head and glanced at the collar of his Legion of Honor, and then looked at Severus with murderous eyes.
"I know another ghost. He can touch entities and move them just like you, but he usually throws water balls, ink bottles and other things to do some mischief." Severus glanced at the pendant on Eugene's waist.
Sword "I heard that he was no different from an ordinary ghost at first. Later, he was affected by the psychology of the students who wanted to play pranks but could not do whatever they wanted. Then he became what he is now. What about you? Like him, you were also
Influenced by 'honor', and then having this ability to contact entities?"
"Do you think I will answer your questions as friendly as a priest or a teacher?" Eugene said in an arrogant and unpleasant tone.
"If you need help, you can ask." Severus said calmly, "Maybe I can help you."
"You're very good at irritating people, right?" Gong Saiyi interrupted, "Why do you always provoke him?"
"This is an old habit." Severus turned his gaze to Gong Saiyi. "Seeing the prince's current appearance always reminds me of those students who are in need of discipline."
Gong Saiyi grinned as if he had drank a potion with a terrible taste. Eugene's eyes were on fire, and his thumb was on the sword, as if he could unsheath the sword at any time.
"She cast a spell on me." Eugene said in a terrifyingly calm tone, "I am a living ghost."
Gong Saiyi was shocked.
"How?" Severus looked fierce, hissing slightly from his lips.
"That's the magic of Egypt." Eugene said, "My father never let himself become a slave to anything. He never picky about his bed, and he didn't pay much attention to food and lighting tools. Even the snuff he always brought with him
The pot is just a toy, and he doesn’t need anyone to put effort into it just to please him.”
"Slave?" Severus smiled. "I think there are many people who long to be the slaves of the God of Love. I heard that Nefertari, the incarnation of Hathor, is a 'peerless beauty'."
"My father is not." Eugene smiled proudly, "He is the sword of the church."
"Who just said that he was not a Crusader?" Severus said.
"He told the Pope that if he must bow to Rome, then the Pope should bow to him. Do you understand what I say? Wizards, we are not the kind of people who say 'Amen' to everything and think that only heaven will bring us
An Ning's fool."
Gong Saiyi took a breath, which was so fast that he choked on his own saliva.
"You daredevils..." Severus muffled the rest of his words mid-sentence.
"Soldiers believe that following their father they can win and survive. He is their belief." Eugène, the living ghost said in an almost fanatical tone, "On the day of the coup, he did not make a long speech like in Italy.
His brother Lucien, who was good at debating, said everything. He only said one sentence: "Anyone who dares to resist, kill him, come with me, I am the God of War." No one thought he was ridiculous, and people imitated his dress.
Just like they once learned from Louis XIV, Fifteenth and Sixteenth, no one anymore thinks it's ridiculous not to wear a wig or makeup. When you laugh at my collar, you should know that this is approved by my father, and,
I am also the recipient of the Order of the Golden Fleece, so what do you have? You can’t even get a ridiculous Order of Merlin!"
Severus smiled "Can a living ghost be killed?"
"You can try it." Ou Ren stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, which looked like they were covered with lip gloss and had a candy-like luster.
"Not this time." Severus said calmly, "One day, we will have a showdown."
"You blocked the Mediterranean so that his letters could not be received by my mother. She thought he was dead. Later, you specifically allowed rose-growing experts to pass through the battlefield during the Battle of Trafalgar. What does this mean? Hmm.
?Prove how amazing you are?"
"For God's sake, shut up!" Gong Seyi shouted. "I want to do things with clear-headed people, not two hot-blooded idiots."
Severus and Eugene stared at each other, neither of them willing to give in.
"I'm tired." Gong Saiyi said, "I really don't understand why I don't lie down on a comfortable bed to sleep in the middle of the night, but come here to accompany two fools."
Gong Saiyi took out the scarab amulet and said, "I have already received the 'prize'. Obviously, you will not give me the dagger. If you are not anxious, why should I be anxious?"
After he finished speaking, he stuffed the scarab amulet back into his collar, turned around and left.
"Where are you going?" Severus said slowly.
"Go home and go to bed!" Gong Saiyi waved with Severus behind his back, "Farewell, boss."
"Your men have left you." Eugene smiled. "How do you feel? Mr. Snape."
"You admire your stepfather so much, why didn't you follow him when he ascended the throne again?" Severus asked, "You also betrayed him?"
Ou Ren laughed.
"Come back, Count." Eugene said loudly, "We are not going to duel over trivial matters."
Severus took out a cigarette, lit it with magic, and then sprinkled the ashes on the ground.
"Aren't you afraid of leaving clues to the police?" Ou Ren asked.
"Only if they can catch me." Severus slowly blew out a puff of smoke at Ou Ren, and the smoke passed through Ou Ren's body. It seemed that apart from being able to hold a sword, Ou Ren was still "normal"
Ghost "Your mother didn't receive Napoleon's letter. She thought he was dead. Is this her excuse to explain to Napoleon?"
"That's the truth." Eugene said, "She hasn't received a letter."
"But you think these letters were intercepted by us, why don't you think they were intercepted by others?" Severus raised his voice and said in a frivolous tone, "I believe Bonaparte
There are many people in the family who oppose your mother's marriage to Napoleon, especially after he became a national hero. A widow who is six years older than him and has a child is not a good match for him. He should find someone who is pure and has a better background.
High, a bride who can bring more benefits, such as a Habsburg princess. Your father said that hereditary nobles have cold politics flowing in their veins. In fact, this has nothing to do with whether they are hereditary nobles. Maybe Bonaparte
The whole family's passion is concentrated on him."
"Do you think this was done by one of my father's relatives?" Eugene asked contemptuously.
"Why not?" Severus said with a smile. "Is it possible that there is encrypted information in Napoleon's love letter to Josephine that needs to be intercepted by the British Royal Navy? The letter has to be sent to Paris after all. Compared with the vast sea
, it’s actually easier to intercept the letter at your doorstep.”
Eugene said nothing.
"I know how you feel. There are always some people in this world who use their own values to measure and demand the lives of others, especially those people who are close to you. I know a woman who thought... I need an heir. She
She's older than me, and she thinks it might be difficult for her to get pregnant, so she wants to leave me and let me find a younger woman. That's for my own good, isn't it?" Severus breathed with a smile on his face.
Taking a puff of cigarette, "I'm not like your father, who has a kingdom that needs heirs to inherit, and I'm not a purebred dog or horse. I need to find a female to breed with. I like her, and I'm happy to share a bed with her. It's okay."
If you can stop me, or someone like me, your father said that even if he loses 200,000 troops, he will crown her. If the child becomes an obstacle to me, then I don’t want the child. She will never be able to say no to me again.
She made an excuse, and then she married me. We also said our vows at the wedding, but it was just a performance. Our real vow was to die together on the same day. If I die because I can't finish playing chess, then she will too.
Die?"
"You are crazy." Eugene said.
Severus was still smiling, "The same goes for your father. He is also a rational madman. We were mixed into a strange prophecy. Rather than die at the hands of crazy Muggles, it would be better to die in this place, as long as
Hathor can also cast that spell and make us living ghosts like you."
"That's not what you were thinking just now." Ou Ren looked Severus up and down.
"I'm not picky about food, nor about clothes. It doesn't matter where I live. The only thing I feel I can't live without is her. As long as she is with me, I feel very comfortable living in the ruins. I think I understand why you
Will serve that Egyptian goddess, that's what the soldier wants."
"A woman who truly loves herself?" Gong Saiyi said.
"It's home, idiot." Severus threw a cigarette to Gong Saiyi. "In order to protect my family, I can do anything. In order to protect the integrity of the family, I can also tolerate some things that ordinary people cannot tolerate.
Your father wanted a complete family, so he turned a blind eye to your mother's affair and his family's bad habits. It was people like him who could reunite France, which was almost falling apart, and even almost let Europe collapse.
Reunifying and rebuilding Rome, he saw through the essence of a country, but unfortunately there are too few people who understand him."
"Can you tell me something? Professor." Eugene said in a calm tone.
"Equality, but not freedom." Severus said, "Do you know who Shang Yang is?"
"An Eastern jurist," said Eugene.
"When he implemented new laws in a country called Qin, he encountered many obstacles, especially the king's relatives. Then one day, the king's heir also violated the law. According to the law, he would also be punished
Punishment, do you think as a king, he should punish his own son or the minister who offended many people?"
"Why should we punish that minister?" Ou Ren asked.
"That's a good question. Why did your father end up in prison?"
Ou Ren was speechless.
"Shang Yang was 'divided' in the end. It was like a divided country. Your father's greatest contribution was not his military exploits, but his code. He killed people on the battlefield and no one cared about him. Killing people in peaceful Paris
But he has to be judged. He is different from the hereditary nobles who can avoid legal judgment because of their noble birth." Severus slowed down and said, "Your father is a great man, you should be proud of it."
