Chapter 1560 “Deposit”
According to Figel's later report, the guards she met looked very much like soldiers, or they had been educated in this field since childhood.
Different armies often have different fighting techniques, and the swordsmanship of the guards is very much in the style of the Portuguese army. During the American Revolutionary War, many leaders were members of the Freemasons, which may indicate a secret that the Freemasons planned to use the Portuguese army.
spread among the army, just as Mithraism secretly spread among Roman soldiers.
After the Lisbon earthquake, many civilians still live in wooden houses. The "Free Masons Union" certainly hopes that the Portuguese people will become rich and everyone will live in stone or brick houses. In this way, they will make money, and the Portuguese will also
Can live a happy life.
Of course, "brothers" must treat each other with sincerity, and they jointly keep a secret. Some of these people join voluntarily, and some have been trained since childhood. The war broke up many families, and some parents were unable to raise their children, and some of them were abandoned.
, some will be sent to the workhouse, and then there will be special personnel to select them.
They are not trained as killers like "Assassin". In summary, there are two rules:
1. Use your imagination
Two, only do it once (only do it once)
The mysterious organization and the arduous and noble mission have made these young people in their 20s a little frivolous, and Feigel doesn't like them anyway.
This is actually a good thing. If one day France and Portugal have to go to war again, it will not be so difficult when they meet on the battlefield. This kind of "mission" is certainly not as interesting as a secret exploration mission, but the person who performs this kind of solo mission
They all have special conditions. For example, Georgiana received one.
Wind direction roses are often marked on maps. The altar in the Burgundy mansion should have other secrets. She lives in that place now. Who else is better suited to look for clues than her?
The "rose" painted with gold lines looks very gorgeous on the snow-white marble, but this altar is surrounded by walls on all sides, how can the wind blow in?
"Okay, use your imagination~" she murmured. She had solved so many mazes, and she didn't believe she couldn't solve this one.
She cast a psychic spell on herself, then closed her eyes and sensed everything around her.
The city of Paris is actually very crowded, the traffic is messy and disorderly, the living environment of families is very poor, and there are crumbling wooden houses everywhere.
Old houses also need to be distinguished. No one will demolish the palace in Venice, but those who live in bad conditions are eager to move out or demolish them. The poor cannot afford leather shoes, and the sound of clogs and quarrels can be heard everywhere. Women
They complain about the kids, or nag their husbands about when they will move to "human housing."
There was also an overpowering stench, including chemicals and excrement, and she quickly lifted the spell.
Then she started crying again.
"I asked them to make you happy, why are you crying again?"
She heard someone say at the door.
She raised her head and found that it was Napoleoni who was wearing a French academician uniform instead of a military uniform.
She had a great time in the club that day. Mr. Ribeau and Lanvier told her many stories and also told her some things she didn't know.
After he nationalized tobacco, some people thought that steel should also be nationalized, but he did not do that.
A "balance" must be maintained between brothers and women, and now this "balance" has become precarious, even if Georgiana and Leoncour are not making trouble.
If the river froze and land transportation remained unimpeded, then prices on the Elbe River would not rise so exaggeratedly. The Freemasons hoped to promote railways, which was in line with Napoleon's continental system.
Although the transportation cost of land transportation is higher than that of sea transportation, it has an advantage that sea transportation cannot match - regional alliance. As long as the track distance between countries is fixed, it is not that easy to change. This is a more binding contract than a peace treaty.
, after all, signing a peace contract is just a piece of paper and can be torn up at any time. It is not that easy to start civil engineering projects. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which is almost the same as during construction.
At present, it can be towed by locomotives that have not yet been developed, but they will be developed sooner or later, and by then the European continent will usher in another change.
Napoleon's attack caused the ancient Holy Roman Empire to fall apart. Georgiana remembered that Francis II was the last emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and the founding emperor of the Austrian Empire. At the same time, the Ottoman Empire was also at risk of falling apart.
Not everyone in Turkey likes Napoleon so much. His luxurious Eastern dream is not only to fulfill his childhood dream, but also related to the private agreement of the then governor Sieyes. After occupying Egypt, Napoleon will continue to pay tribute to Napoleon.
The East occupied India and used this colony to replace the previous overseas colonies given to Britain by the Bourbon Dynasty.
"I was wondering how you persuaded the church to allow Protestants and Catholics to marry." She whispered. "Did the Crown Prince of Wales participate?"
He didn't speak and walked towards her slowly.
"What did you talk about today?" he said as if he had no idea.
She threw a small money bag made of black velvet to him, and he caught it with agility.
"What is this?" He didn't hurry to untie the silver thread on the money bag.
"Your birthday present." Georgiana said, "Open it and take a look."
Like a successful pickpocket, he took the money bag in his hand and weighed it, then opened it and poured out the contents. It was a gold ring.
"You traded the bracelet for a ring?" he said with a smile.
"How do you know I exchanged it for a bracelet?" Georgiana said with a smile.
He looked at the ring and said, "The workmanship is really rough."
He said with disgust.
"That's pretty good for someone from the 5th century." Georgiana explained. "Do you know who it once belonged to?"
He turned his attention to her.
"Attila." Georgiana said softly, "I think you should know his story."
"You still think that the treasures of the Knights Templar are in the hands of the Freemasons?" Bonaparte said with a smile, as if he didn't take it seriously.
"This is the engagement ring given to the King of the Huns by the princess of the Western Roman Empire." Georgiana said. "After occupying the Byzantine Empire, Attila has been looking for excuses to attack the Western Roman Empire. Princess Honoria took the initiative to ask Attila
Proposal gave Attila an excuse to attack Western Rome."
His expression became serious.
"Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of proposing to you." Georgiana sneered, "but I do have two requests."
"Go ahead." He said a little arrogantly.
"I heard that when you invaded Frankfurt and Venice, you destroyed the walls of the local settlements," Georgiana said.
"That's right."
"Their curfew order was also lifted."
He didn't answer, which was considered acquiescence.
"I hope you will give the same freedom to the British people living in France. Regardless of whether there will be a war between Britain and France, you will not force them to live in camps."
"You chose that military camp yourself." Bonaparte said, "I treat prisoners well."
"As long as they don't anger you." Georgiana added, "This ring is the deposit I received for accepting the mission, not you gave it to me."
"Do you have another condition?" he asked.
"Attila was a military genius, but he was not as good at negotiating as you." She complimented, "You shouldn't say that you are Attila of Venice. That would lower your status."
Bonaparte laughed, but it was not a triumphant laugh, as if he was expecting what she would say.
"Have you been to Toceno Island?"
"You want to talk about the stone chair on the island where Attila sat?"
"That's just a legend. In the fifth century, Venice was still a small fishing village, and Attila wouldn't go there." Georgiana said with a smile, "I heard from the locals that sitting on that chair will lead to a good marriage. How about you?"
Remember how Attila died?"
"You are so brave." He said with a smile, "You actually gave me the cursed ring."
"There is also a small bridge on that island. Some people say that a Venetian girl fell in love with an Austrian soldier. He died while dealing with a fight, so the girl made a wish to the witch, hoping that she could save her lover back...
"
"I've heard enough stories. What's your second condition?"
"Stop widening and digging the Grand Canal, Leon, do you want to destroy that city?" Georgiana begged.
"What do you want in exchange for me?" he said coldly.
"I'll tell you a secret." She said calmly, "That's what I got from an expedition. You can understand it as the wealth my husband asked me to keep."
He looked at her expressionlessly, as if he was about to get angry.
"The pasha's wife used this ring to protect her husband's other wealth." Georgiana raised her hand with the fire opal ring on it. "What do you think it looks like?"
"You can just say it." He said angrily.
Does it look like the legendary panacea, the Philosopher's Stone?
Georgiana didn't ask in the end, because they were in Paris at the moment, the place where the Philosopher's Stone was born.
She hoped that some madman hadn't kidnapped those innocent children in an attempt to refine the stone.
"This is an alchemical item. What I want to tell you is related to alchemy."
Napoleon smiled "You want me to be as obsessed with the occult as Alexander?"
"On the contrary, I hope you don't believe in those things too much." Georgiana pointed to the sky. "What I want to tell you is about the connection between the stars and us. Each of us is the son of the star. When a star is bigger than the sun,
When a large star dies, we will be born from the debris it leaves behind."
"Why a star bigger than the sun?" he asked.
