Chapter 2234 Flower dispute (one hundred and forty-three)

  The Medusa Hall faces the sea, and the afterglow of the setting sun through the floor-to-ceiling windows can dye the ancient Greek and Roman sculptures in the hall with a layer of rose.

   Looking out from here, the scenery is actually the same as that of the shell house, but because of these sculptures and careful arrangement, people have an illusion of being in the Aegean Sea. Through the glass, you can still hear the beast-like roar of the turbulent sea. Maybe the most luxurious suite in the entire palace is here except the main palace.

  According to the introduction of the court attendants, the Medusa Hall symmetrically faces the east is the Niki Hall, which is the Hall of the Goddess of Victory, where most of the French high-ranking officials live. Having Father Gregoire live here "alone" would not despise him at all, and it would be much more comfortable for everyone else.

   Not only are there "heretics" who defend the truth who will be tied to the stake, but there are also "martyrs" who defend the faith in the church, not to mention the fire that the Pope has raised, which is only found in purgatory. In Buddhism, the fire in Avici Hell will never stop, but in Christianity, purgatory is a place of purification. Some people think that sins that can be redeemed will be burned here, and the rest are sins that cannot be redeemed and need to be in hell. Some people think that fire is a kind of "baptism", and those who cannot wash their sins with spring water have to use fire to practice their sins.

   Intimidating worldly leaders with otherworldly punishments was once a powerful tool in the hands of the church, and indulgences sold well for it to support the crusades and the extravagant spending of the church’s high echelons.

  The **** demon will strongly stimulate the evil side of human nature, resulting in the power of destruction. Gregoire risked his life to expose the absurd excesses of some people during the Revolution. There will always be people who will do whatever they want in troubled times.

  If you don't know what is good, you will not know what is evil. It is because of the existence of these "sages" that people's customs and ethics have changed.

  Time does not repair anything, just like the earth on the ruins, which over time builds up layer by layer, eventually buries it, and will be excavated years later.

Many "plaster statues" were discovered in Pompeii. Those were once living people. Because they were buried by volcanic ash, they left their appearance in their lifetimes, allowing later archaeologists to see the scene of the night of the disaster. Many of them The people were still sleeping, but they didn't open their eyes and saw the Eye of Medusa.

   But time can change an animal from four legs in the morning to two legs at noon and three legs at night.

   This is an inappropriate metaphor. The ages of people’s souls are different. Some people are young and old, while others are young, but the age of their bodies can be determined. No matter how mature the actress Miss Georgina looked, her body was underage and Napoleon was in her thirties.

However, people in the late 18th and early 19th centuries did not form this concept. They did not think it was a sin. Many people even got married and had children very early. The high birth rate can offset the high death rate. Many girls are in their teens start to give birth.

  Isaiah Berlin once said that to liberate a person is to free them from prejudice and ignorance, and let them be the masters of their destiny, not tell him "what kind of destiny you should have".

   At least Lily freed him from his pure-blooded prejudice, and he wouldn't say the word "mudblood" casually.

  Pomona hoped that she hadn't dragged him back into prejudice. The mistakes he made when he was young have been redeemed by what he did as an adult, and she seemed to be getting closer and closer to hell.

   St. Patrick is said to have found the entrance to **** in Ireland. Cursing others to go to **** should be a very serious curse, but she didn't feel it.

   Because she is not "innocent".

   Originally, she thought there would be a lot of shields in the Medusa Hall, but she didn’t expect it to be a work of art. Can such a palace serve as a defense?

As the waiter opened the double oak doors, a small library came into view, with two floors, scattered to the height of life-size sculptures, Gregwa was standing by the desk, he heard the movement and lifted up head.

   "Good evening." Georgiana said embarrassedly after the waiter closed the door.

   "Good evening." Gregoire looked her up and down. "I thought you were Marie Antoinette."

"It's not a good metaphor," said Georgiana at once, and she couldn't help but look at her own dress. She was wearing the dress she had just gone to the opera house, and she was dressed by Marie Antoinette. Served Bertin.

   "You are like a rose, all you need is dew to decorate."

   "You praise me just because I'm not as extravagant as her?" Georgiana asked aggressively.

   "You've been to the Institute of Crafts, why don't you go to the Craft Collection?" Gregoire asked.

"what?"

   "Leconservatoire (Technical Institute) comes from the Italian conservatorio, which means an orphanage for abandoned children who teach music. They already have shelter, why build a new one?" Gregoire asked.

"I do not know what you mean."

   "I heard that it was your idea to build a new venue for the Industrial Fair." Gregoire said, "Wouldn't it be better to continue to hold the exposition at the Louvre or the Champ de Mars?"

   "The 'orphanage' you just said."

   "It used to be called St. Martin's Abbey, and now it's called the Craft Collection, but I don't think anyone would visit there," Gregoire said.

"I'm so tactful that you may not understand. Let me put it this way. It is difficult to maintain a 'profitable peace', let alone an 'unprofitable peace'. This money cannot be thrifty." George Anna said angrily, "The new craft fair venue will definitely be built..."

   "Your tone is the same as the First Governor said that the St. Martin Canal must be repaired." Gregoire interrupted her "I heard that you also participated in the canal project."

   "So what?" She tucked her waist, waiting for the accusation.

"The cost of these two projects is far more than Marie Antoinette. I am not praising you because you are not extravagant." Gregoire said with a smile, "I originally planned to set up an exhibition hall in the Craft Collection, All the new inventions will be displayed there, but I didn't expect to have a building dedicated to exhibiting those new inventions, and for me, that was a surprise."

  Georgianna was confused.

   "There is also a thresher, which I have included in the collection, but I don't think the venue for the Industrial Fair can take up too much space. Have you heard of the customs building in Dublin?"

   "I understand what you're talking about." Georgiana said blankly.

  Like the Titanic, people of this era have an indescribable fascination with creating "giants".

   "You know Gondon is the designer?" Gregoire said.

   "Who is Gundon?" asked Georgiana.

   "James Gundon, the designer of the Dublin public works, has come to bid."

   "Oh." Georgiana was a little surprised.

"It's not just French architecture, British designers have also participated in the design of the new expo hall, and I heard that German and Italian designers are also thinking of qualifying for the competition. This will soon become an international prosperous world, and I can participate in it. Election?"

   "You came for this?"

   "Otherwise, what do you think?" Gregoire asked rhetorically.

  Georgianna silently looked at the "civil priest".

   He smiled slyly, looking especially like a fox.
