Chapter 1197 The Sword of the Church

"I didn't know you could use a sword, Your Excellency." Conseil said, following closely behind Eugene.

"It was normal for men to wear swords in our time." Eugene said indifferently, "It's the same as when people in Louis' time wore wigs."

"Since when did you stop wearing lace and embroidery?" Severus smiled maliciously, as if remembering something interesting.

"After the Brumaire coup and after the Battle of Italy, my father stopped powdering, but many people thought he was slovenly." Eugene said, "Many people in the army imitated him, and they thought that look looked very chic."

Severus whistled flirtatiously.

"What's your problem?" Eugene asked unfriendly.

"Who designed your collar?" Severus said defiantly. "It looks like the bride's wedding dress."

Eugene glanced down at his Legion of Honor collar, and then looked at Severus with murderous eyes.

"I know another ghost, he can touch entities and move them just like you, but he usually throws water balloons, ink bottles and other things to play tricks." Severus glanced at Eugene's waistband Jian "I heard that he was no different from an ordinary ghost at first, but he was influenced by the psychology of the students who wanted to play pranks but couldn't do anything arbitrarily, and then became what he is now. What about you? 'Honor', and then have this ability to touch entities?"

"Do you think I will answer your questions as friendly as priests and teachers?" Eugene said in a haughty and unpleasant tone.

"If you need help, you can say so." Severus said calmly, "Maybe I can help you."

"You're very good at provoking people, aren't you?" Conseil interrupted. "Why do you always provoke him?"

"It's an old habit." Severus turned his gaze to Conseil. "Seeing the prince now always reminds me of those undisciplined students."

Gonseil grinned as if he had drunk a potion that tasted terrible, Eugene's eyes were burning, and he put his thumb on the sword, as if he could draw the sword out of its sheath at any time.

"She cast a spell on me," said Eugène, with eerily calm tones. "I am a living ghost."

Conseil was astonished.

"How?" Severus said fiercely, hissing slightly.

"That's Egyptian magic," Eugene said. "My father never allowed himself to be a slave to anything. He was never picky about his bed, he was not particular about food and lighting tools, even the snuff he always carried with him." The jug is just a toy, and he doesn't need anyone to spend time trying to please him."

"Slave?" Severus smiled. "I think there are many people who aspire to be Cupid's slaves. I heard that Nefertari, the incarnation of Hathor, is a 'peerless beauty'."

"My father is not." Eugene smiled proudly, "He is the sword of the church."

"Who just said he wasn't a crusader?" Severus said.

"He told the pope that if he had to bow to Rome, then the pope should bow to him, do you understand me? Wizard, we are not the kind who say 'amen' to everything and think that only heaven will bring us An Ning's silly hat."

Conseil gasped, so quickly that he choked on his own saliva.

"You daredevils..." Severus silenced the rest of the sentence.

"The soldiers believed that following their father would lead to victory and survive. He was their belief." Eugene, the living ghost, said in an almost fanatical tone. His younger brother Lucien, who is good at debating, said all the words. He only said one sentence, "Anyone who dares to resist, kill, come with me, I am the God of War". No one thought he was ridiculous. Like they used to learn from Louis XIV, XV, XVI, no one thinks it's ridiculous not to wear a wig or make-up anymore, when you laugh at my collar, you should know that this is my father's approval, and, I'm still a recipient of the Golden Fleece, so what do you have? You can't even get a ridiculous Order of Merlin!"

Severus laughed. "Can living ghosts be killed?"

"You can try it." Ou Ren stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, which exuded a candy-like luster like lip gloss.

"Not this time." Severus said calmly, "One day, we'll have a showdown."

"You blocked the Mediterranean Sea so that my mother couldn't receive his letters. She thought he was dead. Then you let the rose-growing experts pass through the battlefield during the Trafal naval battle. What do you mean? Hmm ? Prove how amazing you guys are?"

"For God's sake, shut up!" Conseil yelled. "I want to do things with sane people, not two hot-blooded fools."

Severus and Eugene stared into each other's eyes, neither willing to budge.

"I'm tired," said Conseil. "I don't understand why I don't sleep in a comfortable bed at night, but come here with two fools."

Conseil took out the scarab amulet, "I've already got the 'prize'. Obviously, you won't give me that dagger either. If you're not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry."

After speaking, he stuffed the scarab amulet back into his collar, turned and left.

"Where are you going?" Severus said slowly.

"Go home and sleep!" Gonseil waved behind Severus's back. "Farewell, boss."

"Your men have left you." Eugene smiled. "How do you feel? Mr. Snape."

"You adore your stepfather so much, why didn't you follow him when he regained the throne?" Severus asked. "You betrayed him too?"

Eugene laughed.

"Come back, Earl." Euren said loudly, "We won't be dueling over trifles."

Severus took out a cigarette, magically lit it, and sprinkled the ashes on the ground.

"Aren't you afraid to leave clues to the police?" Eugene asked.

"The premise is that they can catch me." Severus slowly exhaled a puff of smoke at Eugene, the smoke passed through Eugene's body, it seems that besides being able to hold a sword, Eugene is still a "normal" Ghost "Your mother didn't get Napoleon's letter, she thought he was dead, that's the excuse she explained to Napoleon?"

"That is the truth," said Eugene. "She has not received a single letter."

"However you think these letters were intercepted by us, why don't you think those letters were intercepted by others?" Severus raised his voice and said in a frivolous tone, "I believe that Bonaparte There are many people in the family who oppose your mother’s marriage to Napoleon, especially after he became a national hero. A widow who is six years older than him and has a child is not a good match for him. He should find someone who is pure and born High, brides who can bring more benefits, such as the princess of Habsburg, your father said that the hereditary nobles have cold politics flowing in their veins, but in fact, this has nothing to do with whether they are hereditary nobles, maybe Bonaparte The blood of the whole family is concentrated on him."

"You think it was done by one of my father's relatives?" Eugene asked contemptuously.

"Why not?" Severus said with a smile, "Could it be that Napoleon's love letter to Josephine contains encrypted information that needs to be intercepted by the British Royal Navy? The letter must be sent to Paris after all, compared to the vast sea , It is actually easier to send the letter to the interception at the door of the house."

Eugene didn't speak.

"I know how you feel. There are always some people in this world who measure and demand the lives of others with their own values, especially those people who are close to you. I know a woman who thinks... I need an heir, she Older than me, and she thinks it might be difficult for her to get pregnant, so she wants to leave me and let me find a younger woman, that's for my own good, isn't it?" Severus sucked with a smile on his face. Take a puff of smoke "I'm not like your father, I have a kingdom to inherit, and I'm not a purebred dog or a thoroughbred horse, I need to find a female to breed, I like her, I'm happy to share a bed with her, nothing Can stop me, or someone like me, your father said that even if he loses 200,000 troops, he will crown her. If the child becomes my obstacle, then I don’t want a child. She can’t find it anymore and say no to me and then she married me, and we said our vows at the wedding, but it was just a show, our real vow was to die together on the same day, and if I died because I couldn't finish playing chess, then she would too dead?"

"You are crazy," Eugene said.

Severus still smiled, "It's the same with your father, he's also a rational lunatic, we've been mixed into a strange prophecy, it's better to die in this place than to die at the hands of a crazy Muggle, as long as Hathor can cast that spell too, making us living ghosts like you."

"You didn't think that way just now." Eugene looked Severus up and down.

"I'm not picky about food, I don't pay attention to clothes, it doesn't matter where I live, the only thing I can't do without is her, as long as I have her with me, I feel very comfortable living in the ruins, I think I understand why you Will serve that Egyptian goddess, that's what soldiers want."

"A woman who really loves herself?" said Conseil.

"It's home, idiot." Severus tossed a cigarette to Goncey, "I can do anything to protect my family, and to protect the integrity of my family, I can also endure some things that ordinary people can't bear. Your father wants a complete family, so he turned a blind eye to your mother's affairs and the bad habits of his family. It is he who can reunite France that almost fell apart, and even almost let Europe To reunify and rebuild Rome, he has seen through the essence of a country, but it is a pity that too few people understand him."

"Can you talk about it? Professor." Eugene said in a calm tone.

"Equality, but not freedom." Severus said, "Do you know who Shang Yang is?"

"An Oriental jurist," said Eugene.

"When he introduced a new law in a country named 'Qin', he encountered many obstacles, especially the relatives of the king. Then one day, the heir of the king also violated the law. According to the law, he would also be punished. Punishment, do you think as a king, should he punish his own son, or the minister who offended many people?"

"Why punish that minister?" Eugene asked.

"That's a good question. Why did your father end up in prison?"

Eugene was speechless.

"Shang Yang was 'cracked' in the end, just like a divided country. Your father's greatest contribution is not his military exploits, but his code of law. No one cares about him killing people on the battlefield, killing people in peaceful Paris He is not the same as a hereditary aristocrat who is born noble and can avoid legal judgment." Severus slowed down his tone, "Your father is a great man, and you should be proud of it."

"Why do you think I'm not proud of him?" Eugene asked immediately.

Severus sneered, "Do you think he was too crazy to want to take the throne for the second time, so you didn't follow him? Don't say no, I thought so too."

Severus stopped Eugene from speaking, "It is miraculous for a person to come back from the dead. Even the Pharaoh has not succeeded, but the Dark Lord has done it. He has shaken the firm belief of many people. Putting on the cursed ring also strengthened the belief of many people, thinking that he can really lead the revival of wizards, or rule the world or something."

Severus took a puff of cigarette "But I have a feeling that he will fail, this has nothing to do with the savior Harry Potter, he is a stupid boy with mediocre qualifications, he just got lucky because of the protection of the white wizard Lived to adulthood, so I understand why you didn't choose to continue following the man you admired in the end."

"Then why did you ask me if I betrayed him?" Eugene asked.

"Do you think I'm the kind of teacher who likes to explain things to people?" Severus said lazily.

"What do you want?" Eugene said dully.

"Help me with something and I'll tell you." Severus blew another smoke ring. "This is difficult for others, but easy for you. What are you willing to do? Cupid."
