Chapter 1203 The Ship of Theseus (Part 2)

The lapis lazuli sculpture cannot leave the Louvre, so it cannot be exited through the open iron door.

Fortunately, the sculpture could not be left, but people could. After counting the supplies, Gongsei and Champollion could not come up with a solution. Then, Severus followed the Europeans and left the secret room.

There are many exhibits stored on the basement floor of the Syrian Museum, including the pharaoh's sarcophagus and the papyrus scrolls considered sacred. Hard stones were originally easier to preserve than perishable scrolls, but due to the excavations of tomb robbers, even if

Even the granite stones were cut and damaged, and the lids of many sarcophagi were missing. On the contrary, the papyrus was still relatively intact after the passage of 5,000 years.

Facts have proven that as long as humans are willing to think, some seemingly impossible things can be accomplished.

Severus and Eugene finally stopped in front of a black baboon sculpture.

"Even if there were no tomb robbers, the pharaohs of the past demolished the temples of Ramses II in order to build their own palaces. They were polished into sculptures and turned into other shapes. This sculpture was originally dedicated to Sobek.

He was sculptured into a baboon." Eugene explained to Severus, "Baboons represent wise men in Egyptian mythology."

"I know." Severus said. He looked around. There were entire stone pillars removed from the temple and incomplete sculptures in this exhibition hall, which made people feel like they were in the ruins of Egypt.

"Walking through this world where the boundaries between the dead and the living are extremely ambiguous, if one is not careful, one will accidentally lose oneself and cannot tell which world is real." Eugene said, "Compared to the stench, people are still more beautiful.

People are willing to smell the fragrance; people are still more willing to listen to pleasant music than silence; people are still more willing to be rich than poor. When the balance in people's hearts tilts, people are more willing to believe what they want to believe rather than what they want to believe.

It's true. This is what makes Hathor's power terrifying, especially those nobles. They have lived a wealthy life since they were born, and have been watching the shadows on the wall like the residents of the cave. Therefore, they

They think that the only thing that exists in this world is the life of wealth. They are unwilling to wake up from the control of Hathor, and they want to live the same life as before death even after death. Soldiers prefer those with gold and gems

Funerary objects and scholars study stones. They are like people living in two worlds. It is very difficult to blend them together, just like mixing water and oil. But my father said, even if water and oil are mixed,

Oil can be mixed as long as it is shaken vigorously. What greater power is there than war?"

"There is also revolution." Severus said to Eugene. "I heard that the army switched sides shortly after the Bastille was stormed."

"If you were a soldier in our time, you would know why they did that." Eugene sneered and said, "My father told me that the Bonaparte family was not very rich in Corsica, but at least they lived for a living.

Bread dipped in olive oil. When he was a child, he asked Leticia to give him black bread, because the army only eats black bread, and soldiers have to live a hard life. My mother told me that nobles even eat maca.

Dragons have to be picky. The nobles stayed in peaceful Paris for too long and thought that the army was useless. Louis XVI was a king who wanted to be loved by others. At that time, Maupp's reforms were very unpopular in France. Madame Du Barry

The reputation of the reform discredited the reform. After the new king came to the throne, he wanted to restore the reputation of the royal family and attacked the people of Maupp. When they stepped down, the people of Paris celebrated joyfully. However, after my father came to power, he destroyed the reforms of Maupp.

Part of the content continued. Although Mopu was seeking power for personal gain, the reforms he made were useful. The structure of modern countries was based on this. Those exiled judges became extremely docile after they came back.

It has become useless at all. The role of the courts in petitioning the people has been replaced by the three-level parliament. The opportunity is right in front of us. How can we not take it?"

"I heard a saying." Severus said with a smile, "The levers that push people to act are fear and interest, but the levers that push French people to act are ambition. Kindness is useless to some people."

"Who said this?" Ou Ren asked.

"Dark Lord, are you sure that the reason your father continued Morp's reforms was not because he wanted to be a dictator?" Severus said.

"The political enthusiasm of the French was not born the night before the revolution." Eugène said coldly, "I think it is better to waste time in the quarrel than to listen to some people expressing their opinions in the guild, arguing for their own interests and arguments.

, it’s better to follow the orders of a visionary and do something practical.”

"People do change. Bonaparte changed from a national hero who supported the republic to a dictator. Don't you think you have become the same person as the Bourbons?"

"We are different..."

"You are like an ax handle that has been replaced and has become part of my grandfather's axe." Severus interrupted Eugene. "Ambition is cruel and it is difficult to control. I understand this. When

I made the same mistake when I was younger, and then I realized I could no longer hang out with delusional people who were even more unrealistic than the followers of Grindelwald."

"Do you think the Death Eaters have no chance of success?" Eugene asked.

"Anyway, I don't want to live in the world they imagined." Severus said, "My wife is a kind-hearted and sweet woman. The white wizard and I both hope that she can maintain this kindness and purity, so we don't let her go.

Touch those dirty things. My childhood was short. Unlike your father, who deliberately created a difficult environment to exercise his will. The environment in which I lived was itself very bad. Being with a simple woman like her made me feel...

It's very pleasant, but I recently discovered that she can't live in Neverland forever like a child. Our child was lost because of her kindness, and I almost lost her. Being a pure person cannot protect myself.

Teaching women is a difficult thing. Your father spent too much time on the army and ruling, and did not spend time with your mother."

"What do you want to express?" Ou Ren said through gritted teeth angrily.

Severus smiled evilly, "The rock is still the same rock, just because the chisels are in the hands of different sculptors, they become different. You romantic French people actually don't understand women and love at all."

Eugene stared at Severus like a poisonous snake.

"How about we add some other bets besides whoever loses becomes the 'loser'?" Severus said.

"What do you want to bet on?"

"If I win, you will work for me for half a year."

"What if I win?"

Severus spread his hands and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Eugene began to think.

"How about freeing you from Hathor?" Severus said impatiently. "Do you want to be her slave forever?"

"I hate you, Englishman." Eugene said with contempt.

"Maybe this is because I am not a person like Louis XVI and want to be a king who is loved by others." Severus shook his head and looked at the pharaoh sculpture not far away, as if he was missing someone, "I don't want to

Become a fool."

"Is there any way you can terminate the contract between me and her?" Ou Ren asked.

"I'll wait until you win." Severus said, then raised the "spear" in his hand and stabbed the baboon sculpture.

This time, what spewed out from the sculpture was not black liquid, but something like water vapor. The steam quickly condensed, eventually forming twenty or thirty baboons with red ears.

"The Egyptians call this animal Babi." Eugene took out the Mamluk sword. "They feed on human hearts."

"I know this animal." Severus said. "I heard that Barb is the eldest son of Osiris and will appear during the heart-weighing ceremony."

"I don't know if it is the son of Osiris. I only know that once the heart is eaten by it, the soul of the deceased will be tortured forever." Eugene looked at the aggressive baboons warily. "All the internal organs in the mummy will be removed."

After coming out, only the heart remains in the body, and the heart is the certificate of qualification for trial."

"Where is your body buried?" Severus asked.

Eugene ignored him.

He concentrated on staring at Bobby who was walking at the front and grinning at him, slowly approaching, lowering his center of gravity, as if he would launch an attack at any time.

"What a clever idea to use a monkey as a symbol of wisdom," Severus said sarcastically.

"Where did you get all those words!" Ou Ren yelled.

"I can't say as much as you!"

At this moment, Bobby launched an attack, and Severus cast a divine wind, which knocked the jumping baboon upside down and hit the pillars of the Egyptian temple. However, it quickly

He got up again.

Almost black blood flowed from its body, and as the invisible wounds left by the kamikaze disappeared, the black blood returned to its body.

"Cut their heads off, idiot!" Eugene yelled, but these Barbies were extremely agile, and his blade could only cut away some monkey hairs, and it seemed that he had no advantage.

"Expluso!" Severus chanted a spell, and a blue light flew out from the end of his wand, and a Bobby was blown to pieces.

"One." Severus said proudly.

However, he didn't wait long for his happiness, and all the babbies dispersed. They jumped along the pillars nimbly to a place where neither magic spells nor knives could attack, and then let out one after another strange screams.

"What are they doing?" Severus asked in surprise.

"Don't ask questions knowingly." Ou Ren also stared at the Babies on the pillars, his expression looking very heavy.

==================================================

"Since you chose the truth, then I will tell you something that I and other ladies will not say." Napoleon held Pomona's hand and said in an arrogant tone while dancing on the dance floor.

"Oh, you want to scare me?" Hathor said with a smile. "What do you want to say? Blood or killing?"

"None of them." Napoleon laughed sarcastically. "I remember the weather that day. Egypt was as wet and cold as the winter in Paris. We were marching in muddy water and we were almost out of ammunition and food. But we were lucky.

You found some supplies, just like the manna God gave to the Jews when they were wandering in the desert. Don’t you think it’s amazing?”

"You are making up a story." Hathor smiled.

"I'm not lying to you. Many veterans who participated in the war at that time remember that I later wrote to General Marmont and asked him to send three warships to Jaffa. The supplies contained in these three ships could help us besiege the Saint of Acre.

John, but I don’t know whether the letter was not delivered or whether your British navy intercepted those three ships. The ships and supplies I asked for did not come. Instead, the British Captain Smith came with two warships. We

We lack the artillery and equipment to siege the city, so we can only choose to siege the city. However, the city is close to the sea on one side, and British warships can deliver supplies to the city, so it is impossible for us to use siege to make the people in the city surrender.

"Napoleon easily led Pomona in a circle. "But luckily the British fired a lot of cannonballs at us. Have you heard the story about the straw boat borrowing arrows?"

'What is that?' Hathor asked Pomona.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms...an ancient Chinese military story." Pomona explained.

"Is it a Chinese story?" Hathor said with a charming smile.

"That's it, but my story is a little different from borrowing arrows from a straw boat. In the next two weeks, my army didn't fire a single shot, while the British fired at will. They sent us more than 4,000 rounds of artillery shells, which was enough for us.

A gap opened in the city wall, and I ordered people to dig a tunnel for two days, and finally we captured the city."
