Austria 1840 - v2 Chapter 53
“It’s better to go there. At least you can reduce a lot of constraints and do more things. The king can also ignore our exhortation here and act according to his wishes. Everyone is happy.”
Leopold, the Prince of Salerno, was also very tired in the royal court of Naples, and was often dispatched by the king’s nephew. Hearing his niece-in-law and sister-in-law say that again, he stopped struggling and decided to go to Salerno.
Speaking of Salerno, it is also a very important and famous place.
In World War II, the United Kingdom and the United States counter-attacked Germany, the earliest landing in Salerno, but the counter-offensive effect along the half of Italy to the European continent was not good, and the British and American forces were beaten by Germany.
So the next year, they carried out the most famous landing in Normandy in France.
The Salerno landing is the first nine buns, and Normandy is the tenth. When everyone is full, they remember Normandy.
In this way, I can do things in both Naples and Salerno, especially Salerno, and I can also see the quality of England and Spain. Little Carl thought to himself.
Everyone who needs to be transported will go by sea, and the servants and servants will wait to watch; the visiting guests and the Maria Leopold family will go by land.
We started from Naples, all the way to the south, the sea to the west and the mountains to the east.
The sea is the Gulf of Naples in the Mediterranean, and the mountain is Vesuvius in the Apennine Mountains.
Both mountains and water are suitable.
The visitors were already happy. Needless to say, the owner had set the sun four times in the west and the sun rose three times, which also relieved a lot of the depression of the crowd.
The group walked from the north of the mountain to the south of the mountain, all the way to Pompeii, the midpoint of Naples and Salerno.
When you get to Pompeii, of course you have to see the ancient city of Pompeii, the Colosseum, the theater, the sports field, and the temple. You can imagine how these drunken guys are drunk and how they are. dead dream.
The ancient city of Pompeii has only been excavated in part, but it can still be clearly seen that it is in the shape of a nine-square grid or a tic-tac-toe.
What kind of houses, bathhouses, villas, brothels, shops, markets, everything.
Looking at a big city, silently buried by volcanic ash, old Karl meditates here, Princess Mary meditates, Princess Maria and Prince Leopold of Salerno meditate, Ludovica meditates, Albertine belts The child is also meditating.
Everyone couldn’t imagine, but they couldn’t help but imagine that Pompeii, with 20,000 to 30,000 people, was gone in one fell swoop.
Buried by heavy volcanic ash.
About a thousand or two thousand people from the entire city of Pompeii left when the volcano was a little bit brighter, and the others were covered in the pouring ash, suffocated, and died.
Of course, how many of the one or two thousand people who left Pompeii survived, who knows.
Little Carl saw five or six human figures solidified by volcanic ash, one of which has been named Karl by archaeologists, he smiled, as if this was himself, in a distant era, living a different life in the prosperous city of Pompeii .
It is now August 23, 79 AD, and there is still one day left before the overwhelming volcanic eruption.
Karl is forty-three years old. His age and experience have made him a wise man in Pompeii. He is used to seeing the mountain to the north, where sparks and dust are floating at every turn. He is used to it and doesn’t care.
Carl is a pawnshop owner and employs five people. According to the scale, he is the leader of the pawnshop industry in Pompeii.
This pawnshop, which he had started from his father’s time, was a medium-sized pawnshop under Carl Sr. before the earthquake 17 years ago.
It is a pity that the old Carl lost his life in the earthquake, and he failed to see that the shop he opened became Pompeii’s biggest force over several other competitors.
The earthquake changed a lot. Carl, who was 26 years old at the time, had been working hard with his father to start a business, but the earthquake came suddenly, and many houses collapsed, and people were killed, and many of those injured were also within the next few days. die.
It was sudden cruelty for a 26-year-old who was not ready for death, not ready for mass death, much less for his father’s death. All this came so suddenly.
Slowly, Carl changed from a progressive young man to a not so progressive young man, and slowly turned into a conservative middle-aged man.
This is the process every day, get up in the morning, brush your teeth and wash your face just like us modern people.
Then he opened the door of the **** shop and began to greet the guests. By the way, the proprietress of the hotel, which was opposite to the **** shop, was on the right.
Most of the people who come to redeem are old acquaintances, and those who come to be things are still old acquaintances.
Just like yesterday, it’s still a familiar taste and a familiar recipe.
Carl explained to the guy and walked out.
First go to the temple to do a prayer, hoping that they can protect Pompeii and their pawnshops, but it is just for the sake of it. Some people who have encountered great disasters are more convinced of the gods they believe in, while others
I don’t believe it at all, Carl is the latter, and coming to pray is just going through the motions.
Then I went to the theater, watched a play casually, and dozed off while watching. It’s just to pass the time.
At noon, I went back to the **** shop to listen to the guys reporting on the business in the morning. I felt that everything was fine, just like yesterday and as usual.
Just like yesterday, and as usual, Carl came home and had lunch with his wife and kids.
Looking at the wife of more than 20 years, the same as yesterday, the same as usual; looking at the children, the same as yesterday, the same as always.
After dinner, Carl came to Junyue Lai, a place dedicated to entertaining such boring men. The entire city of Pompeii is not big, but there are quite a few such places, 25, 2 more than pawnshops.
With an old acquaintance who has been with him for half a year, Qiaogula, who is much younger than his wife, went to the Colosseum together.
Carl felt that he was getting old, and even this kind of relationship was originally a search for new people and excitement, and he didn’t bother to change it for half a year.
Chogula felt that his Enkekar was very perverted. How could he take others to the Colosseum, he might as well go back to the big bed and be happy. Besides, she didn’t like the blood in the Colosseum. Since she followed Carl, she had to pretend to be very interested.
Before I got to the Colosseum, I heard someone calling, Sparta vs. piebald tiger, passing by, the wonderful thing is not to be missed. The newly bought Spartan, the newly bought piebald tiger, the excitement is much more intense than the bed.
The guide saw Carl coming with him and received the VIP seat directly.
Chogula was very frightened, Carl would get excited when he watched the beast fight, and every time she could pinch her, she would turn blue and purple.
A piebald tiger was pushed in, and the cage was not opened. First, let people tease the piebald tiger to make it fierce, and then let the Spartans enter the field.
While teasing the piebald tiger, the servant showed the ferocity of the piebald tiger to everyone. Sometimes he would put his hand into the cage to see the piebald tiger rushing wildly, and then retracted violently, causing the piebald tiger to smash into the cage and crash into the cage. on to make it even crazier.
The servant will also guide everyone to look at the piebald tiger’s eyes and the red eyes when the piebald tiger roars.
Chogula didn’t dare to look at it, she just stared at the man beside her, in her 40s, her physical strength was fair, and she was very smart. Basically, there was nothing she didn’t understand about asking him.
Even the younger brother of his own family suffered from street bullying for a long time, and it depended on Carl’s past to let his younger brother get rid of that marathon-like nightmare.
“what”
“Ah, good, good bite, hit the horse, let Sparta in
Let them do it. “
When Qiaogula heard the sound, she looked in the middle of the field and saw that the servant had collapsed to the ground, and the tiger had an arm in his mouth. Even though she had seen this kind of bloodshed a few times, she still felt a chill in her heart. Get close to the man and hug him.
“You put three Spartans on the horse, three to one, and the tiger won’t accept it.”
“Whoever of the three of you will go first will be able to handle this piebald tiger, and the one who is alive will become a free man.”
“Brother, I’m coming.” The two said in unison.
“The second child, the third child, don’t talk nonsense, I will go first, I can’t do it, the second child will go in this order.”
“Let go of my hands and feet first, or else I will be killed by a tiger within two strokes of entering, and it will also affect your business.”
The boss turned around and entered the Colosseum.
“Give them the second and third, and let’s untie them first. I guess the boss won’t last long.”
After untying the ties, the second and third moved their hands and feet while watching the arena, cheering for the eldest brother.
“Run, brother, run, come to the side.”
When the two brothers saw that the eldest eldest hadn’t moved well, far from being the opponent of the piebald tiger, they called him to run away first, wait for his hands and feet to recover, and then turn back to fight the tiger.
“Grandson, what are you running, go up and fight it, kill the piebald tiger.”
The people in Pompeii couldn’t allow it, so they scolded it directly.
The guard on the edge of the Colosseum held a fork and waved it at the Spartan boss, not letting him come over, the boss had to go back and deal with the piebald tiger.
The tiger was fierce and pressed step by step. The boss had just opened his hands and feet, but his flexibility was not enough. Soon a piece of flesh was torn off from his arm, and blood flowed.
Slowly, although the hands and feet were more flexible than before, the blood loss made the Spartan boss slowly lose his strength. After a while, he was knocked down by the piebald tiger.
The second and third have been communicating in a low voice in dialect. When they saw this situation, they rushed into the arena, but unfortunately they were not allowed. They had to watch the elder brother get bitten to death before allowing them to enter the arena.
Before entering the arena, the second child turned around and said a word to the third child. The third child looked solemn, nodded, and began to scan the surroundings.
The second child quickly killed the piebald tiger, stepped forward, and the two suddenly attacked the guard with the iron fork. Grab a few iron forks, kill a few guards, and then frantically charge towards the stands.
Chogula hugged Carl’s arms tightly, his legs and feet were weak and trembling all over.
Carl slowly watched the two keep waving the iron forks, some of them turned to the audience in the stands, and there were guards behind them who kept fighting with them, very happy.
“It’s more exciting than a beast fight
. “
After a while, the second child died under the guard’s fork, and the third child was exhausted, but he still rushed up and rushed to Carl’s side. Carl grabbed the fork and kicked the third child to the ground.
The third child rolled down the steps, and before he reached the Colosseum, he was caught by the guard’s fork.
Carl looked at him ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and listened to his wailing, then turned around, and took the pale-faced Chogula back to the Grand Hyatt.
Carl looks like an 18-year-old boy, galloping across the board with a grim face. There were a few more bruises on Chogula’s body.
Then the two went to the hot spring together. Everyone in the hot spring chatted casually about gossip and gossip. Of course, things in the Colosseum were not bad. They were fortunate enough to be mentioned a few times with all kinds of rumors.
Then Carl went home and lay in bed with his wife, each sleeping separately.
I thought that the new day would be as ordinary as usual, until there was a loud noise, and everyone saw a lot of fiery red magma spewing out of the volcano.
Carl ran back to the pawnshop and yelled at the guys to close the door.
Then it seemed that night came, and then death came.
Little Carl looked around, the old military **** sighed, Princess Mary narrowed her eyes, and the couple Mary and Leopold walked slowly to the side, leaning against the wall. Ludovica and Albertine had turned outside.
I don’t know what they saw
His predecessor, Lu Changqing, is similar. He eats, drinks, dresses, and has fun. He is accompanied by someone in the north, someone in the south, someone out, and someone in.
I haven’t seen the beasts, but I have seen Black Fist a few times. The excitement brought about by the blood and blood of the fists is much more intense than the singing and dancing of idols.
When I arrived at Karl, it was completely life in a plastic greenhouse. It was warm inside and fuzzy outside, and there was no blood or horror at all.
But Carl knew that in the next 100 years in Europe, there will be 100,000 times as much blood and terror as the ancient city of Pompeii. If this is considered exciting, then the adrenaline can make people’s blood vessels burst, their brains burst, and their hearts burst. broken. ,,,
