Chapter 853 Revisiting the old place
"Napoleon's family has always refused to accept Josephine. Her first husband, the Viscount Beauharne, was a Don Juan-like person. Later, he was pushed to the guillotine during the French Revolution. Josephine was implicated by him and imprisoned and sentenced to death. Locked together, some people say that she was released because of Jean Lambert Talion. That period of history has been unable to be verified. How did Josephine not only keep her beautiful head but also keep her head in death row? Prosperous and wealthy, after saving her life, she became a socialite in Paris with her beauty, intelligence and excellent communication skills. For a beautiful woman who had just survived the stormy waves of the French Revolution, she needed money and power to shelter and raise her two children. What can you say about a woman who destroyed her parents' estates and another hurricane ruined her married life? In 1795 Napoleon had nothing but a sword and a cloak. She was a woman of great vision and thoughtfulness. Believe me, if she didn't have this ability, she would have died like other noble women, but she didn't love enough at that time. The little general was one of her servants, and she didn't care about having fun until History suddenly changed color, and the little general returned as a hero of France."
"She's messed up her life," Severus said.
"It's not that she's a mess... I know I'll be cast aside for saying this, but he's a clean man in terms of relationships between men and women. Even when he became emperor, he didn't have as many mistresses as other French kings. Different ethos. He pays more attention to governing the country and the people and military arts, rather than having fun with women. He likes delicate, pure, and kind women, not scheming schemers. I don’t know if he has no eyes for people. Or Josephine played too well in front of him. She is indeed a female Don Juan who satisfies her vanity by conquering the number of men. I don’t like drinking the blood of the upper class, especially when I know they may be infected with strange diseases. But they are often surrounded by some 'clean' young people who aspire to enter the upper class like Napoleon, and that kind of experience is really terrible." The vampire shook his head and said, "I would rather go to the pub in Paris to drink the drunk Blood doesn't want to touch them either."
"Then why are you here now?"
"They are my customers, and they need money to survive in human society."
"Are you still hunting prey here?"
"No, there are many people who are willing to be 'donors'. I give them money and gifts, and they give me blood. Everyone gets what they need. My only condition is not to have complicated relationships between men and women. This makes some lost Young people rediscover the focus of life, I know a kid who is now learning to cook, he plans to be a Michelin chef, I funded him, after all, his biological parents are very miserable."
"Didn't you say that you would share the power of eternal life with them?"
"I don't know how human writers came up with the idea of drinking our blood to get 'First Embrace', but why bother explaining this wonderful misunderstanding?" Vampire Spreads Hands "Saved us a lot of trouble, at least we don't have to be everywhere like werewolves crowded out."
At this time, the big party turned into many small parties, and the guests chatted together to form their own circle.
"Hot-headedness is a common problem among young people, especially those who like to fight for wealth." The vampire said, "Those who think they are rich are ridiculed by richer ones, and women are also involved in it. Every time I hear them laughing, I know Something is going to happen."
"Could it be that they still want to learn from Gonzalo and fight for Anna?" Severus smirked.
"Some people seem to always have companions around them, but in fact they are lonely and empty in their hearts. They are afraid of giving their true feelings and dare not treat them with their hearts, so they choose games and treat their feelings with a game mentality. Even life, countless victories and conquests in the field of love numb Don Juan, causing him to lose the feeling of love, and finally end up in hell. This is my life." Looking at the scene in front of him, the vampire said, "With These people can have fun, but they can't invest too much emotion, anyway, they are just playing on the spot."
"Is this why you are eager to return to the wizarding world?"
"Some people are, but I hear it's not going well," Giovanni said. "They've always been a marginalized group."
"What do you think is the probability of doing business in this place?"
"This time and place?" Giovanni smiled and took a sip of his wine. "Don't do that. They only listen to flattery when they are having fun and relaxing, and they don't like to listen to topics that require brains."
"Then let's go." Severus stood up. "No wonder Black is so eager to run away from home."
"Where are you going?" asked the vampire.
"Just follow along, or are you going to continue wasting time in this place?"
Giovanni stood up without much hesitation. Before leaving, Severus took his Veela wife with him. They searched everywhere in this dark house deliberately arranged as a dense forest for those young men who poached Swiss bank clients. Man, luckily they're all okay.
Before midnight, they evacuated with a vampire. The wind on the Grand Canal outside made people feel refreshed. They sent the girls to the gondola and handed them over to their fathers. The children took the "married woman" to continue their night tour in this magical city.
With that magic key, they can go to any place in the world that has a door.
On the way to Venice, Severus and Pomona passed the Linderhof Palace, but they didn't get out of the car to visit.
Ludwig II liked Wagner very much. Wagner wrote an opera called "Tannhauser". The protagonist in it, Donnhauser, is similar to Don Juan, but the difference between Wagner's script and Molière is that , it is based on two ancient legends in the Middle Ages: one is about the knight Donnhauser of Venusburg, and the other is about the thirteenth-century Wartburg love song poet. Molière adapted it from the novel.
A long time ago, there was a loyal guard of Venusburg, Donnhauser, who was obsessed with the beauty of Venus, tired of this life and returned to Wartburg. But when he participated in the singing competition, he got carried away praising the coquettish and charming beauties of Venusburg, and was almost killed by those angry knights.
Under the protection and rescue of Elizabeth, who loved him deeply, Donnhauser was deeply remorseful, and joined the ranks of pilgrims to pray for the pope's forgiveness. But his trip to Rome did not come true, for which Elizabeth died in sorrow, but Donnhauser was pardoned in the end.
As soon as the story opens, Donnhauser is in a cave, lying on the arms of Venus, and there are groups of fairies dancing around the waterfall.
He forgot his mission as a bard, and he also forgot his lover Elizabeth. In Venusberg, there is nothing but sensual enjoyment.
Love born of unchecked passion and instinct is doomed not to last. Sure enough, Donnhauser soon became tired of this sensual life, but Venus would not let her "captive" go easily. In her rage, she cursed Donnhauser to return to the world because of unavoidable reasons. Seeing forgiveness and suffering misfortune, Donnhauser turned to the Virgin Mary in desperation, and finally got rid of Venus.
In the cave of Venus, although it conforms to the natural nature of human beings, it lacks rational and spiritual communication.
In Wagner's opera world, life doesn't seem to be the most important thing—"salvation of the soul" is; in order to realize this lofty "dream", there will always be a holy, beautiful woman with a weak appearance and a firm heart. He walked up to the altar without regret.
Before Donnhauser met Venus, he was originally in love with Elizabeth. But he couldn't stand the temptation of Venus, the god of love, and sank in the "sweetest and joyful abode" all day long, becoming her captive. His enjoyment builds on Elizabeth's pain, which is a betrayal of Elizabeth's loyal love.
Only after losing, people will know how precious what they once had. Elizabeth's death made Donnhauser wake up, but it was too late.
In front of the artificial stalactite cave in Linderhof Palace is a golden shell boat, and the background behind it depicts Donnhauser in the arms of Mrs. Venus in Huishou Mountain. The rotating colored glass sheets driven by the earliest motors produced changing light effects.
"Why do you want to come here?" Severus asked Giovanni after the door opened.
Giovanni did not answer him.
It was as if the man who had been glamorous and witty at the party just now had turned into a silent stalactite.
