Medieval Reiki Revival

Chapter 41
The city of Bam is Francitt's magnificent jewel, and the down-and-out people are the master's rats who occupy most of the jewels.

Most of this winter has passed, but the heavy snow still has no end in sight.

Since spring is partly a derivative of the rainy and snowy season, this bleak atmosphere makes it impossible for passers-by to look at the poor who are dying of hunger and cold.

The royal family was going to go out to Mitra Street, which is located in the southwest of the city, to see the construction of the Palace of Versailles-the king wanted to know whether the spire of the Temple of Apollo was erected according to his own ideas.

Spires are characteristic of Gothic architecture.

Because Europe has a temperate and cold temperate climate, the spire is good for lighting and shelter from the wind.

In addition, Catholicism regards heaven as the ultimate pursuit, and the most worshiped thing is the sky, and the spire symbolizes the birth of heaven. King Charles used religious emotions as an excuse to order the entire palace to adopt Gothic architecture.

Just the day before the king was going to go out, there were still large swathes of mud on the street, so the carriage must not go out from Reville Street.

Fortunately, the musketeer captain came up with a clever plan, using bread to hire those poor people who can't afford to eat to shovel snow, which can not only eliminate hunger, but also reflect the compassion of the royal family.

It's a pity that they didn't expect that there were too many people coming.

There are too many people who can't afford to eat.

The bread prepared by the soldiers was quickly looted by the poor. Seeing that they had worked hard but were not paid, the rest complained and continued to move towards the area of ​​Cremieux.

The crowd was getting bigger and bigger, and soon gathered at the gate of the palace.

"We want bread and milk."

"We want bread and milk."

All the poor shouted like a mountain.

People wore shabby clothes and scarves the color of rags, some of which were just rags.

Some children squatted on the side of the street digging snow into their mouths.

A few crumbs of flour fell from the soldiers' pockets, and those who saw them quickly picked them up.

At the same time, Voltaire, who was forced to be imprisoned in the Bastille, seemed to have discovered something, looking into the distance from the narrow window, but unfortunately it was too far away from Cremieux.

He could only hear a little noise, and the rest was only the biting cold air.

This is the youth's second imprisonment.

Voltaire sighed, wrapped the cashmere quilt together, and conceived his new work against the colorless wall.

He is dissatisfied with the status quo of Francis, and he is unwilling to be the son of a small businessman and cannot make changes.

A writer’s understanding of society mostly comes from myths and stories. He firmly believes that there are omnipotent laws in this world that can transform the society in which human beings live, but he himself is bound by traditional social culture, so that he is jailed. .

Voltaire thought a lot, and resignedly criticized himself: "The plot of Oedipus the Rex is impossible. It is a flaw in the subject, some say, that is not a matter of literature. As if when the story is flawed author is not responsible for correcting the subject matter.”

"In fact, even if he wants to change the direction of the plot, he will be limited by the era at that time and human beings' respect for theocracy, so he has to bow his knees."

"Oedipus the King" is his previous work, which once caused a huge sensation in the upper class.

Voltaire's negation.

It means that some concepts of this young man have undergone major changes.

Compared with the enthusiastic parade crowd, King Frederick of Prussia's meeting with the gunners in Berlin was much more low-key, and not many people in the entire parliament even knew about it.

Apart from Field Marshal Blücher, the king's most loyal confidantes had known about the new muskets from the very beginning.

"shooting."

The heroic soldiers raised their guns and aimed intently.

After a burst of black smoke visible to the naked eye, there were a few more visible marks on the silver breastplate at a distance of one hundred yards.

The yellow armor is constantly shaking on the shoulder buckle-judging from the style, this is the armor exclusive to the Prussian royal family, and such a steel helmet can be used for testing.

It can be seen that Marshal Blücher is very confident in this new flintlock.

The structure of the flintlock is improved on the basis of the revolver. The clockwork steel wheel is removed, and a piece of flint is clamped on the jaw of the hammer.

There is a striking anvil beside the fire transmission hole. When shooting, pull the trigger, and under the action of the spring, the flint will be hit heavily on the side of the fire door, sparks will come out, and the gunpowder will be ignited to fire.

The current mainstream musket in Europe is the percussion flintlock.

In terms of structure, it is not only impossible to realize the semi-standby insurance, but because the automatic disc cover and the scythe are separated, as long as the scythe is pushed forward to avoid the movement track of the hammer, even when it is carried in the standby state, the hammer will occasionally fail due to failure. Produces sparks and cannot go off.

The L-shaped fire sickle that integrates the plate cover and the fire sickle can perfectly solve this problem.

Another breakthrough point is that the barrel has rifling, which can ensure shooting accuracy.

Marshal Blücher's boldness suits Frederick's appetite. In the early years, King Frederick had already passed the stage of rectifying internal conflicts. Now he is coveting the country of his neighbors, and he deeply desires Inherited the title of the Roman Empire.

He immediately ordered: "This musket, which is better than ordinary flintlock guns, must be immediately armed with my army. If there is any disagreement in the parliament over how to dispose of the royal family's wealth, then this group of people can return to their own farms." Work done."

"Yes."

"I need to send a letter to the Prime Minister of the Netherlands to discuss the trade policy of tomorrow spring. As for the letter from Espania, I will throw it into the stove for me. Those businessmen can't think of a farsighted one. Brilliant plan."

The mentioned Espania is facing its coldest winter ever.

The government is not the traditional style of indifference to the people. Under the new thinking, the congressmen have carried out very humane treatment of the slums, opened a workhouse for the homeless, and called for the opening of the monastery. Part of the place is given to the poor to sleep.

Wealthy wives will spend part of the funds to buy some good-looking tea, helping some patients with frostbite to drink a cup of tea in the severe cold.

The development of the enclave has made this country with a well-developed shipping industry very prosperous.

The London papers described in great detail the operation of the Poor Laws.Since Espania itself is rich in coal, most residents will not be too sad as long as they have a place to live.

Newt put down the newspaper in his hand, and made final adjustments to the machine in front of him.

The machine is majestic, but the principle is unexpectedly simple. First fill it with steam, then close the steam inlet valve, and spray cold water outside the container to condense the steam in the container to form a vacuum.

This cycle is repeated, using two egg-shaped containers to work alternately, which can continuously drain water.

"In this way, even if the mine is very deep, it can be effectively drained."

The machine goes on, like the cogs called society go on, every part of it strengthening every other part.

Human progress is not just an interconnected whole, but a self-reinforcing, self-accelerating whole.

In a certain basement, a master and a servant are having their final communication. Before that, Ivan had already conducted an experiment on little Henry.

"Isn't it too risky to do that?"

Ivan didn't take it seriously, he experimented with mice more than [-] times, and experimented with little Henry again.

He now feels that his destiny is in me, and no difficulty can stop him from stepping into the extraordinary.

Little Henry touched the little finger of his right hand, which was where the knife was just cut.

Now recovered.

It feels different.

soul.

Exactly what his master had just said, but the feeling wasn't good.

Because when the biological body uses [soul sap] to split a part of the soul, the split part of the body is completely out of control, which is why little Henry's right hand fingers can't move at all until now.

But Ivan has another view.

"You idiot, don't you already feel the soul?"

The emergence of the soul.

It adds a convenient tool to explore the unknown.

"I just did an experiment on your body."

"very successful."

Speaking of this, Ivan began to calm down.

The candlelight couldn't reach his front, but the shadow could turn his green coat into blue.

"Anyway, I have to do it."

He gave the order: "You just need a little help."

Ivan didn't need to ask little Henry's permission because he was just a servant.

So when he brought back a huge guillotine from the outside world, Little Henry accepted the mission without even asking.

Do not misunderstand.

He didn't want to cut off his own head, but he wanted to cut off the arm more quickly with this common blade.

Ivan himself knew that ordinary axes and saws were too powerful.

In case the connective tissue is accidentally broken, the pain caused by the second excision is unbearable.

Anesthesia is a good thing.

Ivan was the operation performed on the sedated little Henry.

But [Hell Mushroom] is difficult to achieve local anesthesia, that is to say, if Ivan wants to perform painless soul surgery, he needs to lose consciousness.

This is a very dangerous thing.

Because of the trust involved, even though Little Henry vowed to respect himself as his master for the rest of his life, Ivan was still unwilling to trust him.

Human nature cannot stand the test.

Especially when I just took him as a test subject.

"Quick, put down the blade for me."

Ivan was lying on the wooden bed, and on the left was a headrest tied with a live buckle.

If nothing else happened, this three-meter-tall guillotine can fall cleanly, and after cutting off his left arm, it still has enough strength to leave marks on the wooden board.

Because the guillotine is too high, the excision operation needs to be performed in the hall.

Ivan drank the blue potion and yelled at the servant impatiently.

"Let go of the rope, what are you waiting for?"

Little Henry hesitated again and again, and finally let go of the rope.

He heard the rattle of wood and metal.

An couldn't bear the excitement on his face, like a rich man seeing countless gold and silver.

The ax is tough and pierces the air.

Not harsh.

Wow - Ivan's eyes almost popped out,

The limb next to the metal was completely deflated, like a deflated airbag.

His skin was bloodshot from top to bottom, and even his sweat became steaming hot all of a sudden.

"Bones are shaking."

As he spoke through gritted teeth, his heart seemed to be pounding.

The severe pain seemed to exist ten thousand tough needles, poking from the spine to the edge of the skull at the same time.

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his lips had been bitten off.

He said to himself that he was no different from a lunatic in a lunatic asylum.

"Huh—this."

A brand-new feeling came to mind. Ivan was able to feel a clear feeling from the edge of the air near his shoulder that he had never felt before. It was obvious that the arm was completely broken.

He tried the squeezed soul.

The invisible arm does not need to obey the laws of physics, and can float in the air at will.

You can even pick up scroll paintings to hang on the walls.

Pick it up, put it down.

Ivan was delighted by this strange ability, even ignoring the pain of the wound, until his body sent dizziness to the brain, and he realized that he should deal with the injury.

But before that, Ivan decided to give this ability a name.

"The invisible arm, like the legendary wizard, is called [Wizard's Hand]."

After Ivan bandaged him briefly, he let Little Henry go home temporarily.

He was going to spend a little more time studying the soul body. As for how long the patients who came from other places would have to wait, that was not something he needed to consider.

Little Henry saluted respectfully, then closed the door and left.

On the streets of the city, the chilly wind blew by, making the white fir trees loosen their muscles and bones a little.

The flag depicting irises fell from the city hall and was swept into the river by strong winds.

The flag did not sink into the water, but instead drifted farther and farther along the direction of the wind.

The era has begun.

　Overhead world, please don't take it seriously.
