Chapter 1628 frog&fog sixteen(1/2)
Chapter 1629 frog&fog (seventeen) revision
After the clown left, another villain came over and said to me:
My name is Roland. I was once the best archer in the Sheep Kingdom.
My former good friend Berkeley is the country’s football champion.
There is a tradition in our country that every year during the Carnival there is an archery competition and a ball game.
Berkeley was always going to win, and he was probably the most popular guy besides the King,
There were always many people around him, and I was proud to have such friends.
One day I went to the Parthen Kingdom to fight for the king,
When I came back, my wife Emilia cheated on me with my best friend.
She thought I was dead, so she asked Berkeley to get close to her and take care of her,
Oh, how I wish that festering wound would kill me, otherwise I wouldn't have to watch that scene.
Poor man.
I said to Roland with sympathy,
Women are always easily deceived.
Roland went on to say: In the Sheep Kingdom, the football champion and the baker have enough appeal to mobilize civilians to participate in the struggle.
In order to make the situation less serious, the king asked Berkeley and I to use a Maypole to resolve the conflict.
I asked: What is a Maypole?
Rowland said:
When a contradiction cannot be adjusted by law, we will erect a maypole.
There are poor people on one side and rich people on the other, or two hostile forces.
Take that pillar as the center of the circle and fight within a certain range.
The loser will be expelled from the kingdom.
I asked: Why are you not dead?
Rowland said:
If no one helped him cheat, the damn person should be Berkeley,
He always won and brought wealth to the rich and aristocrats,
The Sheep Kingdom has reached reconciliation with the Parthen Kingdom, the Eagle and Rooster Kingdom, and the Wild Boar Kingdom.
The old king ruled the country by organizing many absurd shows, large balls and banquets, and events that were popular with the masses.
It seems like every day is a carnival, but in fact the people in this country are very ignorant.
One summer, people saw snake figures on cherry trees, plum trees, and apple trees, plus some omens.
The common people said that eggs and herrings contained small snakes, so they stopped eating eggs and herrings.
I asked: Do you know that there is a devil in the palace?
Roland said: I have never seen the devil, but I have seen a witch that is uglier than the devil. She is very jealous of the beauty of the moon. Maybe she is casting a spell.
I asked: Are there witches in your kingdom?
Roland said: She is generally a good person. Thanks to her potion, I can come back alive.
I asked: Who else in this kingdom has the strength to fight?
Roland shook his head: The people believe that football matches are the real business, and even duels are symbolic, and no casualties are allowed.
I said: Your king is a kind man.
Roland smiled sarcastically: I won the victory for those people, but they shouted "throw away those who should be blasted away" because the conflict will affect the atmosphere of the festival. I know some people...
I interrupted him and asked: Are you going to rely on whining to gain sympathy from others and rebel against you?
Only women will cry and men will take action. If you don't be strong and expose your weakness, you will still be bullied.
Roland asked: What should I do?
I said: I want you to stay angry. An angry soldier is worth gold. I want more people like you, so that I will have a mountain of gold.
You will have a golden mountain.
After Roland finished speaking, he stepped back. At this moment, the clown came over and said to my ear:
Emilia has died due to dystocia, and the football king plans to marry a new wife.
I asked: Who is it?
The clown said: Moon, the King of Ball's family is engaged in the carpet weaving industry. He has formed an alliance with the white baker. The justice is the adviser of King of Ball. Roland was once an officer of the Guards.
I said: I heard that the king is a wise man.
The clown said: He is a wise man, because the reputation of Roland the Archer in the army has surpassed that of the old king.
I feel sorry for the old king. He is too old to ride a horse or fight in battles.
It's a pity that he only has one daughter who is too beautiful to cause trouble. It would be great if he had a son.
==================================================
===============
St. Helena is humid all year round. It is covered by clouds and fog for more than 300 days every year. The humidity usually remains at 74%, but it can easily reach 100%. Therefore, even if everything is not seriously wet, it will not stay dry all the time. The British Government
The East India Company came to this place. In the past, the East India Company used it as a water replenishment station.
Napoleon was very afraid of the cold, so whether it was for warmth or to remove moisture, it was inevitable to light a fire.
There was a billiard room in his "cell", and because the East India Company had a lot of green paint, it was completely painted in his favorite green. Because the emerald green extracted from the arsenic-containing dye was very bright,
People also call that dye "Paris green". Queen Victoria had an entire lounge in Buckingham Palace painted this green, with floral patterns.
The day after Napoleon's death, his body was placed in the billiard room for dissection. The technique was similar to that of mummification. In fact, in addition to the French, the British were also engaged in research in Egypt. In 1830, not only Napoleon died, but also George IV.
Well, maybe these mummies were buried by the British for some reason.
George IV was a notoriously mean king in England who was widely believed to be lenient only to tailors, decorators and mistresses.
But in fact, Napoleon admired the regent very much and thought he was a man of noble character. This may be because Napoleon was already a prisoner when he wrote the letter, and some kind words could help him leave that ghost place on St. Helena Island. Or maybe he
As I get older, my vision is not as sharp as when I was young.
When he was a prisoner, he met a fifteen-year-old girl, Betsy, who was the daughter of an East India Company employee. At this time, Napoleon showed his charming side again. He was not a huge man as the British publicized.
The ogre, with an eye in the center of his forehead, used his long fangs to tear the little girl into pieces.
On the contrary, he has a very charming and educated smile, and his dark brown hair is smooth and silky, just like a child. Betsy can't speak French well, but he can listen patiently. At the same time, he is also
After learning to speak English, the friendship between the two began. Soon after, Betsy was fascinated by him and gave him her first kiss.
But occasionally he would show another side of himself. Once Napoleon tested Betsy on the capitals of various countries. He asked which city the capital of Russia was. Betsy answered that it was St. Petersburg, which used to be Moscow.
Then he suddenly turned around, stared at Betsy with sharp eyes, and then asked sternly, "Who burned Moscow?"
Betsy was frightened and was speechless for a long time, until he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you know very well that it was me who burned it."
So Betsy quickly corrected her, thinking that the Russians burned it themselves.
It's no wonder that Mary-Louise didn't follow him to St. Helena to suffer and remarry another man. This was not only because of the bad climate there, but also because of his moody personality.
Love can make a person's heart burst with incomparable passion, but the middle-aged Napoleon Bonaparte made the lives of those close to him indifferent, calm, and uninteresting. No normal person could live with him for the rest of his life.
Fifteen years of political life turned the young, impulsive and passionate artillery lieutenant into a monster.
Even the old fool Albus Dumbledore eventually became too old to feel love and was hurt by it.
All he had left was regret, and the impulse that drove him to wear the resurrection ring was to make up for that shortcoming.
Severus stood in front of the sculpture of Voltaire placed in the living room of the National Library of France. Legend has it that Voltaire's heart was stored in a small box, with a sentence written on the box: My heart is here.
, but my spirit is everywhere.
"On Ariana's tombstone there is the epitaph 'Where the treasure is, there the heart is'." He said to himself as he looked at the sculpture, "You think Dumbledore's spirit is also everywhere."
?”
No one answered him, including the sculpture.
"Although the Dark Lord has disappeared, there are still believers who believe that he will be resurrected again. I think he has achieved his goal of eternal life." Severus said proudly.
"How did you know I was here?" a woman asked.
"I smell your perfume." Severus said. "Although the savior will wear his invisibility cloak, he forgets how much sweat he smells after exercising. I'm afraid it can only be found in the smelly Gryffindor."
You can't smell him in the rest room."
Cloris Roland lifted off her invisibility cloak.
"What are you doing here?" Severus asked.
