Chapter 1498 Like a dream

Chapter 1499 Tower of Order

The story circulated among common people about Marie Antoinette's "why not eat cake" may be false, but it also expresses the common people's views on the royal family.

The gap between palace life and ordinary civilian life is too far, even if it is the same world, it is not the same world.

You can't control how others see you.

Georgiana, who was clumsy and disliked dressing up, became frugal and virtuous in Napoleon's eyes, and even her isolation was regarded as living in isolation in pursuit of peace of mind.

In fact, Georgiana is more afraid of becoming Christian VII's personal doctor Strunzer than being called Queen Caroline Margaret of Sweden. If the reform is not carried out correctly, it may affect the interests of too many people.

It will cause a coup, and she also has moments of idealism.

There are only six leagues of strait between England and France. Rumors quickly spread to France. Compared with the groundless slanders of royalist newspapers, the gossip about Saint-Domingue had a greater social impact.

This will ruin the image of the "little captain" and people will compare him with the ancient tyrants.

The King of Sweden may not have instructed his subjects to spread "rumors". A person who really wants to spread rumors will often distance himself from the incident itself. This may be the behavior of the Swedish subjects themselves, or they may be instructed by other forces.

Such as the UK.

Drawing Sweden into the anti-French alliance was profitable for the British war faction. If Napoleon supported Denmark, Britain could support Sweden. The two sides would compete for control of the Oresund Strait.

Who would have thought that the flames of war on the tropical islands of the Caribbean would drift to the cold winds of Northern Europe in this way.

Summer was so short during the Little Ice Age that even lower Louisiana in the subtropics would freeze. How cold must it be in those frigid countries?

Although Georgiana compares herself to "Sally", she is not the real "Sally". At least she can control fire magic. The room on the fourth floor that was originally occupied by the royal guards was transformed into a laboratory by her, and she can practice while doing it.

Do some small experiments while controlling the flame.

Perhaps because she looked so much like the ancient alchemists, the Mamluks were in awe of her and worked even harder when guarding the tower.

France has a lot of iron ore, and iron ore is not difficult to obtain. The temperature produced by Dragon Breath is thousands of degrees, which is enough to melt iron ore into molten iron. The key is that it does not require a blast furnace and coke, but the slag will be produced during the smelting process.

The harmful gas sulfur is produced and all windows must be opened in order not to suffocate.

Pure wrought iron is actually not hard. She was full of fantasies about the ancient Damascus steel in Arabia and wanted to restore it, but Napoleon said that that kind of steel requires a mineral called Utz steel from India. After adding it, the steel

It not only has excellent toughness, but is also very hard. During the Crusades, the French brought back some of these swords. They were so rare that they were almost passed down from generation to generation among nobles. Georgiana asked the "King" for one.

, he gave it to her. Lieutenant Figel may not like gold, silver and jewelry, but he was very interested in the sword. When Georgiana was not doing experiments, she would lend it to her to practice swordsmanship.

Later, Napoleon gave her some meteorites. It seemed that he really regarded her as a "magician" and wanted her to forge an indestructible sword for him.

There are indeed some rare earth minerals in the universe, and because they experienced high temperatures when entering the atmosphere, these meteorites are often like wrought iron bars, waiting to be processed into various shapes.

With the support of the "King", Georgiana's metal tempering progressed so quickly that she tried to smelt a dagger. Although it was very sharp and cut iron like clay, it was ridiculed by Napoleon for cutting bread.

The knife, because it is so small, seems to have no other use than cutting bread.

She planned to carry this dagger with her, even if she didn't have the ability to smelt the second Sword of Gryffindor, this was her first attempt at alchemy, and no matter how clumsy it was, she made it herself.

She made a scabbard for it, no gems or gold, just a beautiful embossing of the leather.

Just as she was admiring it proudly, the bells of Notre Dame rang, and soon the bells of other churches also rang.

"Madam!" Matilda ran up in a hurry, shouting as she ran.

"What happened?"

"There is a carriage waiting for you outside." Matilda gasped, "They have found the stone coffin of Saint Genevieve."

Georgiana no longer delayed, went downstairs and got into the carriage. The person who came to pick her up was the middle-aged general who had picked her up by the canal last time.

The sound of the bell caused a commotion throughout the city, and the streets were full of people. Many people came out of their apartments and offices to check on the situation, but it ended quickly.

The carriage was accompanied by Matilda, Figuere and Belle. The other general, after re-introducing herself through him, Georgiana found out that he was not Menou, but General Alwere, whose manor was in Lissie.

It was not far from Mariel, the birthplace of the Ourcque Canal. When Georgiana saw Alvier at the Opera House in Lyon, there was another person next to her. That person was Menou. The troupe member who identified her at the time did not make it clear.

Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Saint Geneviève's stone coffin was found at the Sorbonne University. After the French Revolution, the Sorbonne University was temporarily closed. Napoleon reopened it in order to establish education. One of the seminaries was almost in ruins.

In the chapel, the workers found the stone coffin of Saint Geneviève. In addition, there was another thing inside, which was the cloak of Saint Martin. It was placed in a gilded box and placed in the stone coffin.

This place is not far from the Church of Saint-Denis in La Chapelle. Saint Geneviève used to go to that church to pray, and later Joan of Arc also often went to pray there.

La Chapelle (le chapelle) is a French pronunciation. In Latin, a cloak is called a cappa, so the meaning of La Chapelle comes from the Latin cloak.

Legend has it that the young Saint Martin cut his only cloak in half, gave one half to a beggar, and kept the other half for himself. Charlemagne was a fanatical collector of sacred objects. Originally, this sacred object was collected in

Aix-en-Provence came to Paris for unknown reasons.

Georgiana's carriage passed through the crowds of people watching on three floors inside and outside, and entered the Sorbonne University. The Panthéon is located next door. The thing Fouche had been looking for for more than a month without finding it was actually right under his nose. This was really surprising.

To people's chagrin, Napoleon had not yet arrived when Georgiana arrived, and the scene was already protected by the police.

Many prominent figures also appeared, including Georgiana's guardian Caprara and the Archbishop of Paris, as well as Chaptard, Marmont, and even foreign envoys such as Sir Merry and Lord Whitworth also came, and everyone gathered around

There were whispers outside the ivy-covered ruins.

"Good afternoon, Madame de Sèvres," a general greeted Georgiana.

Georgiana was sure she didn't know him.

"I'm Digomie." The general introduced himself with a smile. "Do you know what the profit from sucrose is now?"

"No, I don't know." Georgiana said with a fake smile.

"The gross profit is 17% and the net profit is 11%. But if slavery is abolished, the net profit will become 5.6%. This is still the case of giving them 40 sous a day." Digomier shook his head at Georgiana.

This is such a huge loss.”

"I know." Georgiana said. As soon as she finished speaking, Napoleon appeared. He was wearing the uniform of the French Academy, followed by Davout and a group of lieutenants. Everyone looked very glamorous, as if they were here to greet the bride.

.

"Toussaint Louverture has arrived in Nantes and will arrive in Paris next week." Digomier said. "He was trapped by Lequeber on June 7 and spent two months on the road.

, do you know how difficult it was to keep him from dying in an accident during these two months? "

"I know, that's why we need a miracle." Georgiana said, looking at Bonaparte, who was talking to the Archbishop of Paris and the papal envoy for a while, and then walked into the ruins together.

"Do you believe in miracles?" Digomie asked.

"I don't believe that." Georgiana sighed. "Sometimes I really wish that Adam and Eve didn't eat the forbidden fruit, so that we wouldn't have to distinguish between good and evil, and there wouldn't be so much pain."

"Do you think it is happy not to distinguish between good and evil?" Digomie asked in surprise.

"Girls can play for a lifetime, but women can't. I hope I will be a girl for the rest of my life." Georgiana said with a smile, "I hate growing up."

Digomie thought for a while, shrugged noncommittally, and looked at the ruins. Soon Napoleon and the others came out and closed the door. He said something to Fouche, and Fouche soon asked the police to

They persuaded the onlookers to leave.

Georgiana got into the carriage and returned with Matilda and the others.

After returning to the tower, she continued to do her experiments as if she had just gone for a walk. Only Matilda chattered and announced to the servants what she had seen and heard.

Even if she didn't see anything.

Georgiana didn't tell her to shut up. There was freedom of speech here, so you could say whatever you wanted.
