Chapter 1521 Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge

 Chapter 1522 “Daydream”

In the Nordic creation myth, there was no sky or earth at the beginning of the century. There was only a Golden Runga gap in the thick fog. The north of the gap was Niflheim, the "country of fog", and the south of the gap was Niflheim.

It was Muspelheim, the "Land of Fire", where Ymir, the ancestor of the two giants, and a huge cow named Odembula were born from the intersection of heat and ice. Ymir ate Odembra.

The milk secreted by M'bula sustains life, while Odembula licks the salt grains on the ice. Later, the wise giant Mimir and the giantess Bestra grew on Ymir's body.

After licking it, Bulli, the ancestor of the gods, appeared in the ice. Bulli gave birth to Baur, and Baur and the frost giant female giant Bestra gave birth to Odin, Willy and Fei.

The giants were at odds with the gods, and the two sides started a war. Later, Ymir was killed by the gods, and the giants were defeated and fled to Jotunheim. They maintained their hatred of the gods and waited for revenge, while the gods used

Ymir's blood created the ocean, sweat became the lake, the body became the earth, the bones became the mountains, the beard became the plants, the teeth became the rocks, the skull was suspended as the sky, and the brain became the clouds, recreating this world.

In this newly created world, there is a "World Tree" named Uggdrasil. It is said that this tree is an ash tree, and Odin's spear is made of its branches.

Uk means "fearful" in Old English, and is also another name for Odin. Trasil refers to the horse. Together they are "Odin's horse". It is said that this is for

To commemorate the discovery of runes by Odin who fell himself into a tree and stabbed himself with a spear.

There are nine kingdoms on this tree. The Kingdom of Mist and the Kingdom of Fire all grew on it. There are three thick roots under the tree, and under one of them lives the poisonous dragon "Ned" who eats the roots.

"Hogg", when it bites off the roots of the tree, the twilight of the gods will also come.

In 1689, the British Parliament promulgated the "Bill of Rights", which limited the power of the British king and increased the power of Parliament. Only executive power, military power, legislative power and financial power were left in the king's hands, all of which belonged to Parliament.

Whether the Directory is following the British Parliament or for other reasons, in short, they are in Paris far away from the battlefield. No matter how fast the messenger rides back and forth, there will be delays on the way. 24 hours is enough to change the situation of the war. Napoleon has always been with the army.

, including when crossing the Alps. Although doing so can grasp the battle situation in time and adjust the command, it also means taking huge risks and seeing the evil side of war.

The French army in 1796 was so poor that they fought on an empty stomach. After they arrived in wealthy Italy, they were completely unable to curb their desire for funds and "supplies."

If some people are not shot, military discipline will never be restored. This is the other side of Napoleon's appearance.

Victory can give confidence and happiness to those who are far away from it all, but for those who are deeply involved, the greatest joy is the spoils.

After the day of Thor came the day of Freya. On this day, Georgiana got a gift, a bracelet made of gold with ancient runes. It was sent by Napoleon's adjutant and placed on a red

On the velvet cushion, it looks very dazzling.

She may be able to resist ordinary diamonds and jewelry, but she has no resistance to this kind of jewelry.

There are people in the German-speaking area who believe in the church, and there are also people who believe in Odin and Thor. She doesn’t know whether this bracelet was snatched from the hands of the northern Italian nobles or the residents of the Rhine River, but it is undoubtedly dyed.

Bloody.

In fact, the ring on her hand is similar, but it was exchanged by Bey's wife with Napoleon in order to preserve her husband's other properties.

Even the goddess slept with the dwarf who made it because of a necklace, let alone a mortal?

After resisting all morning, she finally took it in her hand and looked at it carefully at noon.

Many alchemists encrypt their files, and this bracelet does the same. You don't know its function unless you wear it on your hand.

However, just as she was about to put it on her wrist, she suddenly remembered the shackles that she had finally broken free of, Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, and the bracelet on her other hand.

The bracelet contained Bonaparte's hair. She had worn it for so long that she had almost forgotten its existence.

At first she only felt sweet when she wore it, but now she can't describe what it feels like to wear it.

So she put down the gold bracelet.

She sat on the lounge chair and curled up.

During the Battle of Hogwarts, she could face the fifty-foot giant without fear, but she was afraid of the five-foot-three-inch dwarf.

At this time, Georgiana's short-legged cat was so proud that she ran over and rubbed her legs as if to comfort her.

She picked it up and put it on her knees to smooth out its fur.

Then she looked up at the window, hoping that a black smoke would suddenly appear and take her away.

She caused trouble for Severus. Even though there was no notary, she still agreed to Bonaparte's request. She could not wait for Severus to come and follow him as soon as he said a word.

Then she would be like Mrs. G who fled to Russia with the violinist.

There was also a Dieppe landing before the Normandy landing during World War II. Although that landing was not successful, it learned many lessons for the Normandy landing.

After this period, Bonaparte will go to Rouen and northern France to inspect. The road conditions in Dieppe are so bad that it is impossible for carriages to pass.

The last conversation about fruit was after they read a travelogue in North America. A plantation owner proudly showed off to the author his "benevolent management" methods. He gave fruit to the slaves, but the free people could not afford to eat the fruit.

.

This topic seems not suitable for Napoleon to talk about, but didn’t the snake in the Garden of Eden also tempt Eve to eat the forbidden fruit?

Adam and Eve could eat all the fruit in the Garden of Eden, except the fruit on one tree.

Aren't you curious what it feels like?

Curiosity is what drives people forward, and it is also what kills cats.

The Napoleon she saw in the Tuileries Palace that day, who was tanned by the sun, wore a green uniform, and had a Mamluk sword on his waist, was extremely novel to her. He looked more like an adventurer.

"did you miss me?"

She was so startled that she almost jumped, and Rulange jumped off her knees.

The "adventurer" she was thinking of just now was standing behind her, wearing a black dress with gold thread, holding his hat in his hand.

Facing such a man who could be described as slender and without any weapons, Georgiana still took out her wand and pointed it at him.

He was neither afraid nor angry.

"Why don't you go and stay with Fox?" he asked with a smile.

She began to think about how to answer this question.

"You don't like this bracelet?" he asked again.

"What exactly do you want to know the answer to?" she asked.

"You can answer them one by one." He said confidently, "Start from the first one."

She didn't answer him.

"How about going for a ride with me?" he said like a little prodigal.

She thought of the cartoon in which a skinny French soldier tried to kiss a fat British lady.

The French soldier said to the fat lady: "Madam, I respect you very much and am deeply attracted by your beauty."

But the fat lady said, "You are a well-educated gentleman. Your kiss makes me blush, but I can't refuse you, even though I know you are cheating on me."

"Okay." She agreed and put down her wand. "Are you sure this will downplay the scandal?"

The smile on his face disappeared.

"It's to celebrate peace." He stretched out his hand toward her, "Come here."

Georgiana hesitated for a moment, but finally passed.

He held her hand, looked at the back of her hand intently, and rubbed his thumb on her skin.

He looked at her very seriously and pinched her so hard that it almost hurt her.

"Leon..." she said tremblingly after enduring it for a while.

He seemed to be more awake at this time, looking at her with his gray-blue eyes wide open.

"Shall we leave now?" She took the opportunity to withdraw her hand.

At this time, the sky is bright and the weather is very good, which is very suitable for taking a ride in an open carriage.

He rubbed his nose and politely let her go first.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to change clothes."

"You look beautiful no matter what you wear, my princess." He said softly, "How about we go to the Théâtre Française to watch a play?"

"I actually don't like opera that much."

He laughed, "Me too, but the sofa in my box is very comfortable. I often lie on it and sleep."

"You can lie down, but I can't." She murmured, and after a while she said, "Sometimes I feel like I'm in a dream, and I actually fantasize about being with you."

He lowered his head.

"Have you forgiven me?"

She didn't answer him immediately.

"Sometimes I forget about Severus, which makes me feel guilty." She said after a long silence, "But I don't compare you."

"Did Ribo tell you about the ring?" he said expressionlessly.

"Yes." She said tremblingly, "Louis XVI..."

"He is a good man, but a bad king." He continued her words, "If you accept me, you can't just accept my advantages, but also my shortcomings."

"Your shortcomings are not something ordinary people can afford." Georgiana said sarcastically, "You have created a sea of ​​blood, Leon."

"Louis XVI hoped that after his own blood was shed, there would be no more bloodshed on the soil of France. Do you think he was right?" he said arrogantly.

Georgiana looked at him calmly.

"Are you sure you won't regret letting Moreau become the governor of Piedmont?" Georgiana asked.

"I already regret it." He whispered, "Let's go, madam, don't keep everyone waiting."

She had forgotten that as long as Napoleon didn't come, even if the play was halfway through, the troupe would have to start from the beginning, making it boring for everyone to watch the repeated plot.

So she turned and left.

But before she took two steps, her arm was grabbed.

He looked into her eyes, as if he wanted to see into the depths of her soul.

After a while, he let go of his hand, walked quickly in front of her, and left the study first.

She looked at his back and followed him.

September had already begun to turn into autumn, and she should actually put on a shawl, but she didn't think he would want English woolen fabrics to appear on his carriage.
