Chapter 1179 A strange coincidence (7)

The Louvre Museum in Paris, France is one of the oldest, largest, and most luxurious museums in the world.

After Louis XIV moved to Versailles in 1674, the era of royal life in the old Louvre ended. Countless grand banquets were held, and the Hall of the Goddess Column for the nobles to enjoy was left idle and decorated splendidly.

The Apollo Rotunda and the Long Gallery, used for audiences with Louis XIV, are no longer so busy.

It was a place for people to live, but at the same time it was not. When all the living people during the day had left, the Louvre became empty at night. This is the case now and it was the same in the past. To resist this loneliness and quiet, the kings let musicians

They played music and let the servants dance and revel.

But this kind of excitement is short-lived. When the song ends and everyone disperses, there may be one or two beauties who will stay and accompany the king. When they leave, the king will be truly alone, just like those who sleep.

Pharaoh in sarcophagus.

When he was finally alone, he could finally take off the golden mask on his face and return to his true self.

Louis XIV, like many hereditary monarchs, also succeeded to the throne at a young age and was regent by his mother Anna of Austria, but the power of the country was actually concentrated in the hands of Prime Minister and Cardinal Mazza.

Fouquet was Louis XIV's finance minister, but it was Maza who appointed him. He enriched his own pockets and embezzled public property. Originally, Louis XIV did not know about it. Although he heard that this finance minister was very greedy, Louis XIV, who was of noble birth,

Lack of proper concept of money.

It wasn't until one day that Louis XIV was invited by the Minister of Finance to visit his home, and he discovered that a minister's home was more luxurious than the palace where he lived. It was at this time that Louis XIV had murderous intentions.

It is very unethical to bully orphans and widowed mothers, but for people who lack a true conscience, saying this is like not saying it. Schopenhauer once said that rich and powerful people talk about integrity because there is a lot of integrity.

Time brings benefits to ourselves, we can maintain good order and protect our property. The poor do not have so much property. They see that they are tired and miserable, and others live a rich and lazy life. This unequal mentality makes them

It is difficult to obtain the driving force from pure morality. It is just that strict laws restrict people. Once a golden opportunity arises, they can avoid the constraints of the law, throw away the burden of poverty in one fell swoop, and allow themselves to possess and enjoy the things that make them happy.

The happiness they have coveted for a long time, what can stop them at this moment? Is it religious creed? Or is it the fear of losing their reputation as a good citizen?

The excavation of Egyptian cultural relics is as destructive as the California gold rush. In the courtyard of the Louvre, in the famous Glass Pyramid Square, there is a secret ladder that leads to a depth of 15 meters underground. Behind a black security door is the Card.

The Roussel Laboratory, which is the research and restoration center of the French Museum, houses the only particle accelerator in the world dedicated to art.

The ancients left behind many secrets. They could even create swords thousands of years ago that are difficult to copy in modern times. Where did the manufacturing materials come from? Is it really an extraterrestrial meteorite? What is the manufacturing process? How to preserve and restore it?

The dagger of Pharaoh Camos I was not placed in the above-ground exhibition hall of the Louvre. It was stored in the underground laboratory of the Louvre awaiting research and analysis. Severus "borrowed" the dagger from here.

dagger.

This dagger was once kept close to Camos and placed in the mummy's shroud.

The Renaissance liberated people's minds from the suffocating confinement of the Middle Ages. The pursuit of culture and knowledge became a fashion, and collecting antiques became a sign of a gentleman.

Scholars are keen to collect papyrus, and those with martial arts are keen to collect this exquisitely crafted dagger. Although copper does not rust as easily as iron, thousands of years are enough for it to become rusty. Ancient Egyptian Empire

Soldiers did not fight with stone axes and wooden bows and rely on barbarity to win. They used bronze weapons. Generally, nobles also carried daggers. The weapons they commonly used during their lifetimes were buried. After time and the looting of tomb robbers through the generations, very few can be preserved.

Let alone the Pharaoh's golden dagger.

Women like flowers, fashion and jewelry, while men prefer knives, BMWs, cars and other things that can bring a sense of speed. This is written in genes. Camos’ dagger combines flowers and daggers.

The position of the handle is very simple. It is made of woven leather for the purpose of holding the hand. The scabbard is made of lotus pattern, which looks very exquisite.

After pulling it out, it didn't have that golden effect. Instead, it exuded the same cold light as Bella's dagger.

As the personal weapon of a leading pharaoh, it should have killed people. This "artifact" is definitely not available in boutiques. It is dangerous and deadly, and it is easy to carry. If the Louvre sells souvenirs and murder cases

If it gets involved, that would be too bad.

It is difficult to wash off stains on pure white paper. "Big men" will not do those dirty things to avoid getting their white gloves dirty, but there are times when they have no choice but to do so.

For example, the assassination of Caesar was done by the nobles themselves. Those nobles did not even know how to kill. It took 23 knives to kill Caesar. Pomona was curious about where the daggers used to stab Caesar were now. Relatively speaking,

She is no longer interested in the lion amulet she obtained.

Her mood at this moment reminded her of those pink earmuffs used to resist the cries of mandrakes. The boys couldn't stand the color, so they pulled off the pink fluff on them, and the girls followed suit.

Later, the hairless and bare dragon skin earmuffs became the most sought-after ones.

Some things feel precious because someone robbed them. Pomona could see that Gong Seyi also liked the golden dagger, but she was not that eager.

He may also want the lion amulet in Pomona's hand, but he will definitely not snatch something from a woman in front of a Scotsman "in a plaid skirt".

Common amulets in Egyptian tombs are Horus, scarabs, and even Anubis. Amulets of the cat-headed god Bast are rare.

Bastet is a chaotic and capricious god. She does not require people to be firm and loyal in their beliefs. Bastet will give extraordinary blessings to those she loves, but once she is angered, her anger will

It is also immeasurable.

She is Seth's mortal enemy. Legend has it that Buster is based on a lion. Originally, the kind of bastard who meows at home and likes to knock over his master's things is the same as a lion.

There are so few Buster, let alone a lion amulet. The lion has always been regarded as brave, and it is perfect as an amulet for a warrior. Camos seems to be wearing it to go to the underworld. Pomona holds the small gold in her hand

jewelry, took another look at the straw dog amulet around his neck, and suddenly laughed.

"What do you find interesting?" Severus asked.

"I am also a cat and dog person." Pomona held up her dog and "cat" amulet, and the two men cast strange looks at her.

"Put it on." Severus held the dagger in one hand and the wand in the other. "We're going to get started."

"Do you think the workers building the canal will seek your life?" Gong Saiyi said to her deliberately, as if he wanted to scare her.

"Don't forget, you are also part of that." Pomona smiled calmly, "Have you ever thought about why you saw that train full of princes rushing into the Nile?"

"Compared to the common people, the curse of the nobles is more terrifying. Do you want to wear an amulet too?" Pomona said before Gong Seyi could answer.

Gong Saiyi took out a necklace from his neck.

"I have been prepared for a long time." Gong Saiyi put the necklace with the Eye of Horus back on his collar.

"Horus will save a drowning man, but do you think he will save you, a Frenchman?" Pomona asked.

"Then do you think the lion will save you?" Gong Saiyi asked.

"Of course." Pomona said firmly, "I know a lot of 'lions'."

At the same time, Severus shook the stick and he chose a piece and made a move.

A strange feeling suddenly enveloped her.

"Fluorescence." She tried to use this simplest magic, but the wand had no effect.

"They took away our magic." Severus smiled sarcastically. "So we can't cheat."

Gong Saiyi raised his wand and used the levitating spell on a small sculpture. He could still use his magic power normally.

"Is it because of this?" He took out the scarab amulet he just got from the pensieve.

"How do I know?" Severus said dryly, "It seems you did get something good, Mr. Leroy."
