Chapter 1886 Giantslayer (Thirty)
Haji came to the side of the racecourse, or the "lake" he had seen before, and a group of young nobles were getting on their horses.
These young people are British in red military uniforms and French in blue military uniforms. Britain not only races horses, but also bets on dogs, but these horses and dogs do not seem to be racing at speed. The Boulogne Forest used to be a royal hunting ground, and they seem to be ready to go hunting.
Haji looked at the roaring hounds. They were huge, not like the foxhounds used by the English nobles when hunting.
As a professional hooligan, Haji has also done the task of collecting debts from people who owe debts. Among them, he remembers clearly that he is a horse betting. He always thinks about flipping the book and accepts it if he doesn't know it. In the end, He owed a debt and mortgaged all the houses his parents had left him.
When he took the house, he remembered that the house was full of information about horse racing, including mountain-like newspapers and wine bottles.
There is a book on the biscuit showcase with cats in the shape of Chen. It introduces the history of British horse racing. Because the War of the Roses brought severe damage to England, the number of horses dropped sharply, so that the cavalry had no horses to ride.
In order to develop their own horse industry, Henry VII and Henry VIII began to introduce a large number of thoroughbred horses from Italy, Spain, North Africa and other places. The king personally organized competitions between the nobles, and horse racing became the "king's sport".
Haji would not think about that if it were not for the monk's reminder. He deliberately looked at the hips of the horses that the knights were riding. They were all stallions, and only mares were women riding.
It would be understandable if the introduction of excellent horse breeds is to breed horse racing, but do French really breed good horses for horse racing?
The young cavalry rides on a fat and strong horse. Coupled with the brilliant sunshine, they look vigorous, unlike the nobles with wigs and powder on their faces in the TV series.
In addition to men, there are women as well. British aristocratic ladies seem to wear skirts for riding horses. This kind of dress is only suitable for side riding. The French girls directly changed into menswear, wearing breeches and boots. The colors and styles are somewhat different from those of menswear. Among them, a lady wore a red velvet jacket and a snow-white scarf. She was the most beautiful, surrounded by many Boy, as if she was a princess.
Haji took a look, the color of women's hair and eyes can be changed, and they use "shadows" and "highlights" to change the lines of their facial features, just like using a disguise technique. Another person. He has become accustomed to the two appearances of women in the nightclub before and after removing makeup. Staying up all year round makes their skin very rough, and they have to rely on thick powder to cover their flaws.
Later, he changed his mind and looked at the height of the "princess", and he was sure that it was not Pomona, she was too tall, and Haji could not imagine what the "Princess" would look like now.
Diamonds need to be processed before they can show their brilliance. Paris is such a place. Even an ugly duckling can become a swan, not to mention a swan that is originally a swan.
The more beautiful things are, the easier it is to break. If you have a baby, it depends on whether you have the power to protect it. There is an unlucky ghost next door. He was picked up by someone because of a momentary negligence.
Seeing the commoner generals who were similar to him turned out, even the ambition of the soul of the shoeshine is about to move. Even Haji himself was agitated just now. The feeling of pointing on the map with the golden eagle baton is an addiction for ordinary people to point it. If Bonaparte is an ordinary little person, he will Unbelievable, when he woke up he was still on the bed he was lying on before going to bed.
Austerlitz, Jena, all these victories for a woman? Who can imagine the Champs Elysées without the Arc de Triomphe?
When he goes back, he will tell his son, don't find a mixed-race Vewa as a wife, they are just ordinary people and can't afford it.
"dad!"
Haji heard his son's cry and looked around.
"Son!" Haji responded loudly.
"Dad!" Felix continued yelling.
Haji carefully distinguished, where did the sound come from?
He listened for a long time, and found that it was his chest, where there was a rose he had just picked from the rose garden.
He compared the locations. The racetrack is actually the location of the "lake", but now there is no water on it.
Haji came to the position of the sculpture he saw when he woke up. There was nothing there at the moment, but there was a painter sketching from life.
The painter noticed the arrival of Haji, and looked up at Haji.
"Have you...uh..." Haji didn't think he should use French until halfway through his speech. He had learned a little bit for emigration before, but now he almost forgot about it.
"You can speak English." The painter said "I am British."
"Have you seen a child who is probably that tall." Haji gestured to Felix's height.
"No." The painter said coldly, lowered his head and began to paint again.
Haji glanced at the painting he was drawing, and the other party was alert and blocked the painting.
"What else do you have?" The painter said unkindly.
"No." Haji said, and he left under the painter's vigilant gaze.
Although it was just a quick glance, he saw that the other party was not painting beautiful women and landscapes, at least not the scenery in front of him, but the Egyptian pyramids, and there was a circle like the sun beside it. So why did the artist paint this?
"Dad!" Felix shouted.
Severus was patrolling his neighborhood, and now they came to the "lake", a bit far from the rose garden.
There is a sculpture here, and he is looking at the direction of the rose garden.
Severus used his fluorescent wand to aim at the engraving under the sculpture.
"Santos Dumont, 1873-1932."
Before the Wright brothers, Dumont used to fly an airship around the Eiffel Tower for a week. It took off from St. Luke, and the first powered airplane he prototyped was in the "trivial" park in the Boulogne Forest.
It is estimated that no British person will forget the shock of the Zeppelin airship arriving over London, and there is also the Austerlitz railway station, which used to be the manufacturing workshop of the airship.
Even if there are no airships and planes, taking advantage of a foggy day, you can cross the Royal Navy to London in a hot air balloon. If the seaside city closest to the mainland of England is arranged in this way in advance, it can take off as long as the conditions are suitable. The only thing to worry about is the wind direction.
Secrecy is the most difficult. It must be a sudden attack, and it must also let the British relax their vigilance. When the royal family and parliament are captured, the United Kingdom will be paralyzed. Even if Nelson can battle at sea, he will lead a group of panicked Royal Navy.
If you were more brutal, set off a fire and recreate the appearance of the London fire, watching the soaring flames and the alarm bells, it would be enough to connect people with the "doomsday".
Can't do it?
Severus smiled and showed his mouthful of yellow teeth. Then he looked at the lake again, as if he saw the pyramids in the sun. On the banks of the Nile, a group of gorgeously dressed Hescheys were riding in small boats and using their hoes on the embankment. A small gap was dug up, and the flooded river rushed into the canal from a height. After the incident, the boat filled with Hesche sailed to the ship following them, and a lot of coins were scattered.
Bonaparte and the rest of the French will make him watch everything happen in the viewing pavilion, with a bright smile on his face.
As the floods spread, Cairo's squares became swamps, streets turned into canals, gardens turned into submerged pastures, with only some trees exposed outside. If you look over the pyramids, the whole of Egypt becomes like a vast ocean. In the sea, the whole city lit up colorful oil lamps at night.
Severus thought it was a street scene of Paris before, but he didn't find it until he took a closer look. But that's not important anymore. The lights got closer and closer, and finally jumped out of the water and turned into sky lanterns. , This is the tradition of Bagatier Gardens, every year someone will fly Kongming lanterns here.
Why put? No one knows, maybe it was just for fun in the beginning.
Severus remembered the content in the newspaper he had read before. The most popular winning team in the Quidditch World Cup was the French team.
"Xxxx Frenchman!" Severus cursed.
He raised his wand and sealed the lake with ice.
Felix noticed his behavior and didn't dare to call anymore. It was an ice surface the size of a racecourse.
Severus kept his back to Felix, and the dark shadow grew even taller.
Even if you don't need flying broomsticks, Britain can still fight in the air. It's the “thick skin” of the airship, and it's hard to penetrate with flintlock bullets.
"Let's take a look." Severus finished speaking, pulling his cloak and leaving the lake.
"Why is there such a big fire?" Felix muttered in a low voice, and trot away to follow.
After they left, the frozen lake did not thaw. Although it was summer, there was a kind of magic that could freeze the fire-ash snake eggs. The temperature it exploded was much higher than the hot air.
The frozen fire gray snake egg is especially like a ruby, it looks very beautiful, but if someone tries to process and polish it, it will inevitably catch fire, and the consequences are unimaginable.
