The arrogance of the city

Chapter 709 Journey on which the sun never sets

It was a great luck and a supreme honor to be able to participate in the palace banquet, but when she came out of Athena's bedroom, He Caiwei looked a little preoccupied.

Although her life experience made her more mature than her peers, what she experienced in Athens was really too dreamy, which had a huge impact on her worldview.

"Did you suddenly feel that this world is so mysterious and full of unknowns?"

Li Futu turned his head and smiled.

The fireworks above the head are still blooming.

He Caiwei nodded with a blank look.

After seeing the luxurious life of billionaires, ordinary people will easily feel that the struggle in life is meaningless. He Caiwei feels a bit similar to this at this time.

Li Futu took her hand.

The temperature is transmitted through the palm, making He Caiwei feel his real existence.

He knew he couldn't explain it anymore, and he didn't want to explain it anymore.

"In fact, it is impossible for everyone to have only one identity in the world. All you need to pay attention to is what that person looks like when he is by your side."

He Caiwei's eyes trembled slightly, and then she tightly grasped the man's hand.

She is a smart girl who understands that asking too much will only make herself boring.

No matter what story this man has with Athena, or what amazing identity he has in this world, is it really that important to me?

The reason why I became acquainted with him and able to come to this day is only because he was in the imperial court that night and put on that bath towel for me.

"Where are we going next?"

Under the brilliant fireworks, she raised her head and smiled again.

Li Futu looked to the southwest and smiled lightly.

"London."

……

If you are tired of London, you are tired of life.

London is not only the capital, the largest city, and the largest port of the Empire on which the sun never sets, it is also one of the largest metropolitan areas in Europe and one of the three major financial centers in the world, ranking alongside New York in Country M and Shangjing in Country Wa.

Darwin, Newton, Shakespeare, Bacon, Watt, Churchill, Conan Doyle and a series of famous celebrities were born here. In terms of world popularity, it even surpasses Donghai, the proud city of Dragon Kingdom.

After a three-day journey full of mythology in ancient Athens, Li Futu and He Caiwei continued their journey around the world, and the second stop landed at London Gatwick Airport.

This small country with colonies that once spread almost all over the world is undoubtedly very different from Greece.

There are ancient streets and exquisite buildings, a well-connected subway, a large number of scenic spots and museums, residents from all over the world, and hundreds of languages ​​alone. It can be said to be a big race, religion and culture. furnace.

The journey of the two of them in London started from the ever-flowing Thames River.

Although He Caiwei has never been to the British Isles, she also knows that the Thames River is the mother river of this country. It runs through almost the whole of London, and the coast along which it flows has witnessed the changes in London for a hundred years.

Most of the classic historical monuments are distributed on both sides of the Thames River, such as Westminster Abbey where many great men are buried, St. Tower Bridge, the city's business card...every building can be called a masterpiece of art.

When getting to know London for the first time, it is undoubtedly the best choice to start from the Thames River.

"I know it's here, it's Westminster Abbey!"

He Caiwei pointed to a high cathedral by the river and shouted excitedly.

London has many churches, but Westminster holds a unique historical place.Because this is the exclusive coronation hall for the British monarch, and it has witnessed countless significant royal weddings and funerals.

"It's a pity that it's not worship time, otherwise we can go in and have a look."

Li Futu sighed lightly.

But He Caiwei didn't feel regretful, she was satisfied enough to come here to witness the majesty of this legendary church in person.

Going down the coast of the Thames, Li Futu stopped suddenly.

"Go, at least you can't miss this place."

"...can we go in?"

Looking at the Parliament Building next to Westminster Abbey, He Caiwei hesitated.

"Of course, people are allowed to visit here, even when the prime minister is questioning. Any citizen can go in and listen for free, including foreigners."

In terms of democracy and enlightenment, it is undeniable that the West has done better.

What if in the East, when the congress is held, ordinary people want to go in and listen?
It's just wishful thinking.

Even if you are qualified enough to go in and cannot sit in the first three rows, you are still just a spectator, and you are not qualified to make suggestions at all.

"Don't you want to touch the chair Mecaro sat on?"

Mekaro, the legendary prime minister of the empire on which the sun never sets, has a good reputation in the world, even in the east, he also has many fans.

However, after the willful Brexit of the empire on which the sun never sets, this handsome prime minister also resigned willfully, and he will never be seen sitting in the House of Commons for a heated debate.

"Let's go."

Seeing He Caiwei's expression of emotion, Li Futu took her hand and walked towards this gothic-style building known as the Palace of Westminster.

Naturally, they did not come by such a coincidence, and they failed to catch up with the parliament, but in the empty Westminster Hall, the atmosphere of the heated debates of the three chambers could still be felt here.

The two walked from the House of Lords to the House of Commons. The House of Lords is magnificent, while the House of Commons is simple and dignified. Although the House of Commons is smaller than the House of Lords and decorated more plainly than the House of Lords, there are a lot of scenes like cross talk between the Dragon and Kingdom. Great war, recalling how many times the handsome Prime Minister Mecaro used humorous words to tear down the Labor Party in this room.

The only shortcoming, perhaps, is that photography is not allowed here.

"If there are people in the world who don't care about fame and wealth, maybe Mekaro is one of them."

Coming out of the parliament building, Li Futu was quite emotional.

Law enforcement is for the public, and governance is for the people. Almost all politicians will receive these eight words of police training when they step into the power field, but there are few people who can really do it.

"There is no gold, and no one is perfect. Everyone has desires and shortcomings. I think that an official who is greedy for money and power is actually nothing. As long as he is willing to do something practical for the people, he will be considered the last one." Good job."

Hearing He Caiwei's words, Li Futu was taken aback, and wanted to laugh, but the corners of his mouth twitched, but he couldn't laugh.

The people's requirements for officials are so low.

Is this the success of those in power?

Or a failure of those in power?
