Chapter 104 Russell Memorial Exhibition
West End, 2 Kings Road, Kingdom Museum.
Although it wasn't the weekend, when Klein arrived, there was already a long queue at the door.
According to the descriptions in newspapers and magazines, he knows that the middle class in this world has fewer ways of entertainment. Apart from reading newspapers, reading, listening to opera concerts, playing tennis and squash, enjoying various plays, holding or attending banquets and dances, there are only There are three options: visiting the park, watching exhibitions, and going on vacation. Due to the influence of Emperor Roselle, annual leave has become a relatively common phenomenon in this class.
At exactly nine o'clock, Klein, who was wearing a half-height silk top hat, a black cane, and a double-breasted woolen frock coat, took his tickets and followed the people in front of him into the museum step by step.
There is a diversion here, and different guides lead some visitors to different passages.
Klein and a dozen or twenty people followed behind a beautiful woman and listened to her introduction of Roselle's life.
This didn't make any sense to Klein, who was half a historian, so he boredly confirmed the location of the wallet.
——Because of the surge in wealth, it has reached 952 pounds, which is only one step away from 1,000 pounds. Therefore, his wallet can no longer hold so much cash, so he can only carry some of it selectively. Klein does not want to carry the rest. Rest assured that they stayed at home unprotected, so they were all thrown above the gray mist.
As they walked, they entered the first exhibition hall, and the female guide said excitedly:
"Everyone, here are the daily necessities of Emperor Roselle."
"Look, that's his velvet quilt, and that's the gold-encrusted glass in which he drinks his wine."
"That's the toilet he used, the first flush toilet in the modern sense."
...
Even used toilets are exhibited? Klein suddenly sympathized with Roselle.
Immediately, he looked at the flush toilet behind the glass wall, and found that it was shining with golden light. It seemed to have a layer of gold leaf on its surface and carved complicated, flamboyant and artistic patterns.
What a luxury... Klein no longer sympathized with Roselle.
Only separated from the toilet by a layer of glass are Russell's daily clothes,
Including cuffs, shirts with pleated necklines, etc.
It can be seen that the female commentator appreciates Intis' clothing culture.
After the "Exhibition Hall for Daily Use", there are the original manuscripts of the important documents promulgated by Russell, including the "Civil Code" and other extremely valuable historical relics.
At this moment, the female guide pointed to a showcase and said:
"This is one of the notes left by Emperor Roselle. It uses his original and mysterious symbols that have not yet been deciphered. Many historians and archaeologists believe that these notes should record Roselle. Emperor Er's least known secret."
"As a romantic person, I also have my own guesses. Perhaps this is a sign agreed between Emperor Roselle and his beloved woman. They record each other, but they will never be able to truly be together."
You are very suitable for writing... The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, and then his eyes turned to the notebook spread out in the showcase. It was in simplified Chinese that he was extremely familiar with:
"March 6th, damn, the food here makes me almost constipated!"
"On March 17th, were Intis's wives so open? Did I fuck her, or did she fuck me? It always feels a little weird."
"March 22, it's time to choose a faith. One side is the Church of the Eternal Sun, and the other side is the Church of Artisans."
"There is no doubt about my choice, I praise you, God of Myriad Opportunities!"
"One day, I will let the Artisan Church be renamed Mechanicus."
... Really romantic... Romantic constipation... This should be Emperor Roselle's diary from the early time travel, without any valuable information... His handwriting is uglier than mine... Klein looked back and clicked a few words .
Of course, he only saw the two pages spread out, and he didn't know what else was there.
I don't know how the security measures here are. Is there a chance to sneak in and look through it... Klein looked around and found that there were quite a lot of security personnel on the surface.
Maybe there are Extraordinary people from the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery... He muttered, followed the female guide, mixed with a group of people, and entered the next exhibition hall, which was called "Roselle the Warmth".
"This is the first love letter written by Emperor Roselle, and this is the first love poem he created, 'When you are old'..." The female guide pointed to the manuscript in the showcase with bright eyes.
Shameless! Yeats' coffin can hardly hold down anymore! Klein couldn't help slandering a few words in his heart.
"This is the bracelet he made himself... This is the original manuscript he wrote..." The female guide introduced it in an extremely adoring tone.
...Klein tried his best not to change his expression.
Of course, he also believed that Emperor Roselle, who had a column of "craftsman" in the extraordinary profession, must have a strong manual work ability.
"This is the basic education textbook he improved for educating his children. Every word has a corresponding picture... This is a small game he invented for his own children. It is similar to Intis Chess, but for some reason, the way to play it has not been spread. Kailai... This is the building block toy he invented, and it's also for his children..." The female guide unconsciously said with a bit of warmth.
Isn't this TM just chess... Besides, Lego wants to collect copyright fees from you! Klein could only raise the corners of his mouth to cover up other emotions.
He glanced over and found a woman over 1.7 meters tall standing in front of the showcase.
The woman had waist-length chestnut hair and a well-proportioned figure, neither fat nor thin.
She was wearing a girly yellow cake dress, but she wore a black old-fashioned bonnet, and the fine tulle hung down to cover her face.
She stood in front of the showcase, staring at the items inside, without leaving for a long time.
When Klein and the others followed the guide to the next exhibition hall, she still did not change her posture.
After a few more exhibition halls, the female guide pointed to the front and said:
"The next thing you will see is the restored study of Emperor Roselle."
"Of course, only part of it."
While speaking, Klein and the others entered the exhibition hall, and their eyes suddenly opened up.
It has almost turned into a library, surrounded by rows of bookshelves, up to two floors high, with stairs below them and passages between them, forming a three-dimensional book paradise.
"It is conceivable that the owner here once climbed up and down the stairs, looking for the book he wanted to read..." The guide described a vivid picture.
No, Roselle will definitely let the servants find it, not in person... Klein retorted silently.
In the center of the rows of bookshelves are desks, chairs, brass lamp stands and other things, all of which are covered by glass and do not come into contact with the outside world.
Klein took a look and found a stack of manuscripts with yellowed paper.
The stack of manuscripts was not spread out, so that people could only see the contents of the first page.
It depicts a rectangular object with detailed instructions:
"This is a portable and miniaturized application of the telegraph, through which you can connect to people who hold the same item, send and receive messages that you want to exchange, and even talk directly."
"This requires better positioning, and I think we can boldly look to the sky, where there is no obstruction, to spread the signal better."
...
Great Emperor, you don't even let your cell phone go... Klein couldn't help covering his face with his hands.
At this time, the narrator introduced the stack of manuscripts:
"...they record the fantastic ideas of Emperor Roselle, the inventions that he has not had time to turn into reality, and the glory of our human civilization!"
Klein didn't pay attention to the flattering words, and casually looked at other things.
Suddenly, he found a bookmark in a hard-shell book on the table.
The exposed part of the bookmark depicts a child's scribbled image.
Emperor Roselle is not good at drawing... Klein just laughed in his heart when he suddenly remembered something:
Roselle once disguised a "card of blasphemy" as a bookmark and stuck it in a certain book!
Will it be this one? Klein observed carefully for a few seconds, but found nothing.
That's right, the Emperor said that the "card of blasphemy" is anti-divination and anti-prophecy. Under normal circumstances, you can't find its specialness at all... If you can identify it so easily, the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery must have taken it away... Klein looked away , Looking at other books, I found that many books have a bookmark sandwiched between them, and these bookmarks are different in shape.
He pondered for a moment, then used the "clown" ability to control his facial muscles, and asked curiously:
"Are these all books that Emperor Roselle has read?"
"Sorry, I mean, are these the original books?"
The female commentator nodded affirmatively and said:
"Yes, these are all the items in Emperor Roselle's study back then, including but not limited to books, manuscripts, bookmarks, lamp holders, ink bottles... However, more things have been destroyed in several conflicts."
Klein nodded slightly, and looked at the bookmarks again.
Roselle mentioned in his diary that he wanted to put the "blasphemy card" in a very valuable book, so that no one would have guessed that the most valuable thing in that book was actually an inconspicuous card. Bookmarks... well, which of these books is the most valuable? Klein recalled the details of the diary to rule it out.
"Brilliant Times", unlike...
"History of the Kingdom of Intis", unlike...
"Northern Continent Geography", this is possible, but not high...
"Principles of Improvement of Steam Machinery", ibid....
Klein scanned them one by one, and his eyes suddenly stopped on the stack of manuscripts he saw first.
It records the earth items that Roselle wants to invent but has no conditions to invent.
There was also a bookmark there, which depicted Roselle wearing the emperor's costume.
