Chapter 311 Face is the most important thing
When you come out to hang out, face is extremely important.

As soon as Garcia got out of the carriage, the dress that only used five colors of silk and the gold jewelry that weighed almost one catty on her body was suddenly compared to the colorful silk dress and three catties of gold jewelry next to her, and she couldn't help but lower her head a little. .

That eldest sister is from the southern part of the mainland of the Sardinian Kingdom, and the land is far richer than Garcia's.

Frederick didn't care about this, and all his attention was focused on his wife's castle.

He had visited this island once a few years ago, when the castle was being renovated, Mafia and her two children lived in a villa in the orchard outside the city, and this was the first time he walked here today.

This castle has a long history. It is said that it used to be the palace of the emperor of the Pulan Empire. The entire main building is a four-story castle in the shape of a back shape. There are round towers at the four corners. The promenade extending from both sides circles almost two footballs Large lawn.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that this huge lawn was prepared for Richard Nall to practice martial arts. Katie said that when she made a mistake when she was a child, she was taken to the center. pause.

Walking into the castle and seeing the decoration inside, Frederick instantly felt that his castle was a warehouse.

The Kingdom of Sardinia is world-renowned for its art, and this is naturally influenced here as well.

The pillars in the foyer are all covered with decorative layers made of snow-white plaster, and the gold foil is covered with leaf-stacked and criss-crossed pillar tops, which looks like a golden flower basket placed on top.

On the wall between the pillars, there are complex patterns of golden leaf ranunculus, and large religious oil paintings are hung. Frederick even found that his father's oil painting was hung in the first position on the right hand side of the entrance.

The top of the hall leads directly to the sky, and the top is a glass dome surrounded by [-] angels of various shapes. The hair and wings of these angels also use gold leaf.

Frederick looked at the relatively narrow doorways around the foyer. If the enemy came in, the door would be blocked, and God knows what would be thrown down from above.

At this time, he behaved like a bumpkin who just entered the city, he kept looking around, and there were people around who looked like him.

The corridor leading to the living room is also covered with oil paintings, and the themes here are mainly famous figures and historical events.

Frederick saw an oil painting in which the master knelt on one knee at the head of the bridge, bowed his head, humbly listening to the teachings of an old nun in a white robe, and saw that the painting was signed by Katie when she was 22 years old.

As soon as you walk into the living room, you can see a two-meter-high and nearly six-meter-long oil painting hanging on the wall opposite the door. Many guests stopped to watch, and some people began to explain the story in the oil painting.

Garcia quickened her pace and walked over, but Frederick could only reluctantly follow.

From an artistic and technical point of view, this oil painting that Psyche painted for pocket money is extremely valuable.

This oil painting pioneered hyper-realism. Every character in the painting can clearly see the facial features and expressions, and even the tails of the horses can be seen clearly when they are running.

If you look at it from a historical point of view... Frederick felt that he would not dare to take only [-] cavalry to attack [-] cavalry as in the painting.

But the interpreter felt that the people and things depicted in the oil painting were real, and told how Frederick cut it from the beginning to the end in a passionate voice.

The guests here are all gangsters. Fighting and killing are daily, but the scale rarely exceeds a hundred people.

A big man with a scar on his nose sighed: "That's 10 people, even if it's [-] oranges, it will take a long time to peel!"

The gang leaders next to him kept nodding.

Another big guy who lost one ear sighed: "If only my father was like Duke Wesson."

Frederick smiled at the side, and could only smile.

At this moment, a soprano sang in the living room, and the guests suddenly became agitated.

There was no band or singer in the reception room, but a servant by the door turned on a radio-like machine and played music.

It would be okay if it was just the song on the radio, Garcia was stunned for a while, and said in disbelief: "Impossible, it is impossible for Mafia to invite Princess Lola here!"

Like everyone else, she gathered around the machine and found that it was different from a radio. There was a black disc on the top that was rotating. On the disc was a rod. A very thin light shines on the black disc.

Frederick was also very surprised. He hadn't paid attention to the research on the phonograph in the past two years, and he couldn't find it now.

The phonograph is a project of the Royal Mages of the Rhine Union. It has been researched since 1026. Frederick promised [-] florin gold coins back then, but the answer was always "soon".

Frederick remembered that the principle of the phonograph had already been finalized, and the royal mages referred to radios and communicators. When recording, they first converted the sound signal into magic power of different strengths to control the knife head on the record made of translucent slime glue. Extremely narrow grooves are recorded, through which the elements of the playing time pass, and then transformed into sound.

It’s just that it was extremely difficult to turn the principle on paper into a machine that could be sold. The processing precision was too high. Here it is.

Frederick observed very carefully, and under the shelf where the phonograph was placed, he found something that didn't seem to match the phonograph. That thing was the rocker that started the walking tractor.

After thinking about it, he understood that the rotation of the record was powered by the mainspring, and the rocker was used to wind the mainspring.

"It's amazing!" Garcia sighed, "How can Duke Wesson's men always produce unexpected good things?"

A middle-aged man who knew her next to her said, "That's Duke Wesson who has created countless miracles. He can also make people fly and make people hear another person's voice hundreds of kilometers away. What's so strange about your machine?"

Frederick was thinking, this phonograph appeared here, and the person who recorded the record was obviously of high status. Firstly, it should be someone hired by the Royal Mages. The purpose of coming here is to show off in front of these guests.

The world has the greatest face, even if the floor is paved with gold, it is not as good as this phonograph that money can't buy.

The record was played in 4 minutes, just as one single was over, the servant immediately put on the second one.

This record made the corner of Frederick's mouth twitch. It was a chorus "The People of the Rhine will never be defeated". This time it was really a cultural export.

Most of the audience could not understand the lyrics of this song in foreign language, but it did not prevent them from being excited and recalling their years of killing people.

Frederick was thinking about cultural output with the help of a gramophone when he was suddenly pulled into a corner by Garcia.

Garcia whispered, "Mafia is here!"

The mistress was coming, so Frederick straightened his clothes and hair immediately.

It's just that what happened next made him want to cover his face. It seems that Wessen State's cultural output is too strong.

The servant next to the phonograph put on a new record. Amid the music of "The Brave Seven", Mafia, the leader of the Black Claw Gang, the largest gang in the south of the Kingdom of Sardinia, walked into the living room slowly, and had a chat with Wessen State. It's the same as it was during the meeting over there.
