Chapter 1886 giant slayer(thirty)
Haji came to the side of the racecourse, or rather to the "lake" he saw before, where a group of young nobles were mounting their horses.
These young people include British people wearing red military uniforms, and French people wearing blue military uniforms. The British not only race horses, but also bet on dogs, but these horses and dogs do not look like racing speed. The Bois de Boulogne used to be the royal family.
hunting ground, they seemed to be preparing to go hunting.
Haji looked at the snarling hounds. They were huge, not like the fox hounds used by English nobles for hunting.
As a professional gangster, Haji also did the work of collecting debts from debtors. He remembered one of them very clearly. He was a horse race bettor. He always wanted to make money, and he didn't know how to accept it when he was good. In the end
He owed a lot of debt and mortgaged the house his parents left him.
When he took possession of the house, he remembered that the house was full of information about horse racing, including a mountain of newspapers and wine bottles.
There is a book on the cat-shaped biscuit display case, which introduces the history of horse racing in England. Because the War of the Roses brought severe devastation to England, the number of horses dropped sharply, so that the cavalry had no horses to ride.
In order to develop the country's horse industry, Henry VII and Henry VIII began to introduce a large number of well-bred horses from Italy, Spain, North Africa and other places. The king personally organized competitions between nobles, and horse racing became "the sport of kings".
Had it not been for the monk's reminder, Haji would not have thought that way. He specifically looked at the crotches of the horses ridden by the knights. All of them were male horses, and only women could ride the female horses.
It would be understandable if excellent horse breeds were introduced for the purpose of breeding racing horses, but do the French really breed good horses for the purpose of racing horses?
The young cavalry is riding on a fat and strong horse, and coupled with the bright sunshine, it looks full of vigor and vitality, completely unlike those nobles in TV series who wear wigs and apply powder on their faces.
In addition to men, there are also women. British aristocratic ladies seem to still wear riding skirts, which are only suitable for side riding. French girls directly change into men's clothing, wearing breeches and boots. The color and style are somewhat different from men's clothing.
, among them there was a lady wearing a red velvet coat and a snow-white scarf. She was the most beautiful, surrounded by many young men, as if she were a princess.
Haji took a look and found that the color of women's hair and eyes can be changed, and they will use "shadows" and "highlights" to change the lines of their facial features. It's like using disguise. After putting on makeup, they completely become
Another person. He has become accustomed to the appearance of women in nightclubs before and after taking off makeup. Staying up late all year long has made their skin very rough, and they have to use thick powder to conceal their blemishes.
He later thought about it and looked at the height of the "princess" and was sure that she was not Pomona. She was too tall, and Haji couldn't imagine what the "princess" would look like.
Diamonds also need to be processed before they can show their dazzling light. Paris is such a place, even an ugly duckling can turn into a swan, let alone a swan that is originally a swan.
The more beautiful something is, the easier it is to break. If you have a treasure, you have to see whether you have the strength to protect it. There is an unlucky guy next door. He was picked up by others because of his negligence. Now he came to his senses and asked for help.
Seeing civilian generals who were similar to him appear one after another, even the ambition deep in the shoeshine soul was ready to stir up. Even Haji himself was a little excited just now. The kind of man who held a golden eagle command staff on the map
The feeling of pointing is enough for ordinary people to get addicted to it. If Bonaparte was an ordinary little person, he would not dare to think about it. When he woke up, he was still on the bed where he lay before going to bed.
Austerlitz, Jena, all these victories for a woman? Who can imagine the Champs Elysées without the Arc de Triomphe?
When he gets back, he will tell his son that he must not find a half-blood Veela as his wife. They are just ordinary people and cannot afford it.
"dad!"
Haji heard his son's cry and looked around.
"Son!" Haji shouted back.
"Dad!" Felix continued to yell.
Haji carefully identified where the sound came from.
He listened for a long time and found that there was a rose on his chest that he had just picked from the rose garden.
He compared the location and found that the racecourse was actually the location of the "lake", but there was no water on it now.
Haji came to the place where he saw the sculpture when he woke up. There was nothing there at the moment, but there was a painter sketching.
The painter noticed Haji's arrival and looked up at Haji.
"Have you... uh..." Haji remembered halfway through that he should use French. He had learned some for immigration purposes, but now he had almost forgotten all of it.
"You can speak English." The painter said, "I am British."
"Have you ever seen a child, about that tall?" Haji gestured to Felix's height.
"No." The painter said coldly, lowered his head and started painting again.
Haji glanced at the painting he had drawn. The other person was alert and covered the painting.
"What else do you want?" the painter said unkindly.
"No," Haji said, and he left under the painter's alert gaze.
Although it was only a quick glance, he saw that what the other party painted was not beautiful women and scenery, at least not the scenery in front of him, but the pyramids of Egypt, and there was a circle similar to the sun next to it. So why did the artist paint this?
==================================================
==========
"Dad!" Felix yelled.
Severus patrolled his area, and now they came to the "lake", a little far from the rose garden.
There is a sculpture here, looking in the direction of the rose garden.
Severus pointed his fluorescent wand at the carvings beneath the sculpture.
"Santos Dumont, 1873-1932."
Before the Wright brothers, Dumont had flown an airship around the Eiffel Tower. It took off from Saint-Luc, and the first powered airplane he prototyped was in the "trivial" park in the Bois de Boulogne.
It is estimated that no British person will forget the shock of the Zeppelin airship arriving in the sky above London. In addition, there is Austerlitz railway station, which once served as the airship manufacturing workshop.
Even if there are no airships or airplanes, you can take advantage of a foggy day to cross the Royal Navy and reach London by taking a hot air balloon. If the seaside city closest to the mainland of England is arranged in this way, you can take off as long as the conditions are suitable. The only thing
What you need to worry about is the direction of the wind.
Keeping the secret secret was the most difficult. It had to be a surprise attack, and the British had to relax their vigilance. Once the royal family and parliament were captured alive, Britain would be paralyzed. Even if Nelson could fight at sea, he would lead a group of panicked Royal Navy.
If we were more ruthless, we could set off a big fire and recreate the Great Fire of London. Watching the blazing flames and the sound of alarm bells would be enough to connect people with the "doomsday".
Can't do it?
Severus smiled, showing his yellow teeth. At this time, he looked at the lake again, as if he saw the pyramids in the sun. On the bank of the Nile, a group of gorgeously dressed Hersheys were riding in small boats, using hoes on the river embankment.
A small gap was dug in the canal, and the flooded river water rushed into the canal from a high place. After the completion, the small boat filled with Hershey sailed towards the ship following them, and scattered a large number of coins.
Bonaparte and a group of French generals watched everything happen from the viewing pavilion, with a bright smile on his face.
As the floods spread, Cairo's squares turned into swamps, streets turned into canals, and gardens turned into flooded pastures, with only some trees exposed. If you look down from above the pyramids, the whole of Egypt seems to have become a vast ocean.
The sea, at night the whole city is lit with colorful oil lamps.
Severus thought it was a street scene in Paris before, but when he took a closer look, he realized it was not, but it didn't matter anymore. The lights were getting closer and closer, and finally jumped out of the water and turned into sky lanterns.
, this is the tradition of Bagatir Garden, and every year people release sky lanterns here.
Why? No one knows. Maybe it was just for fun at first.
Severus remembered what he read in the newspaper before. The favorite team to win the Quidditch World Cup was the French team.
"Xxxx Frenchie!" Severus yelled.
He raised his wand and froze the lake.
Felix noticed his behavior and didn't dare to scream anymore. It was an ice surface the size of a racecourse.
Severus kept his back to Felix, and the black shadow became more sinister and taller.
Even without a broomstick, Britain can still fight in the air, but the airship's "skin" is "thick" and it is difficult to penetrate it with a flintlock bullet.
"We'll see." Severus said, grabbing his cloak and leaving the lake.
"Why is it so hot?" Felix muttered in a low voice, spreading his legs and jogging to keep up.
After they left, the frozen lake had not thawed. Although it was summer, there was a kind of magic that could freeze the ash snake eggs, and the temperature they erupted was much higher than the hot air.
The frozen fire-ash snake eggs are particularly like rubies and look very beautiful, but if someone tries to process and polish them, they will definitely catch fire and the consequences will be disastrous.
