Chapter 492 Devil's Mansion

Granada in southern Spain is located in the northern part of the Andalusia province, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, surrounded by plains with convenient irrigation. <->The ancient city is entrenched on three hills, and visitors can enjoy the scenery of the ancient city from multiple angles.The Alhambra sits at the top of the hill.

This group of buildings built in the 8th century AD and historically served as a political and cultural center is now the palace of His Royal Highness Basten, Marquis of Andalusia.

This group of famous palaces in Spanish history has a strong Moorish style.

It itself was the royal palace of the Kingdom of Granada established by the Moors in Spain in the Middle Ages. "Alhambra" means "Red Fort" in Arabic.It is the "essence" of all the monuments in Spain preserved by the Moors, known as "City of Palaces" and "Wonder of the World".It was built in the 13th century during the reign of King Akhmar and his successors. After the Moors were expelled from Spain in 1492, the building fell into disrepair.

However, since he was canonized as the Marquis of Andalusia in the Spanish Empire, His Highness Basten spent a lot of gold and silver coins and hired master craftsmen to renovate this group of palaces.

The Alhambra is in Granada.This Granada castle is in a dangerous terrain, covering an area of ​​about 35 acres, surrounded by high walls and dozens of towers.On the tower, the guards of His Royal Highness Basten are organizing the nearby people to carry the heavy cannons, and put the cannons on the fort of the tower. The muzzles of those black holes , Overlooking the plain on a fort tens of meters high.

The buildings left by the Moors, apart from the castle called Alhambra, are the ancillary buildings called Upper Alhambra. The former is the palace of the Moorish king, and the latter is the residence of its officials and favorites.

In the Alhambra, there are four main atriums (or inner courtyards): Myrtle Atrium, Lion Court, Dalaja Atrium and Reja Atrium.The layout of the surrounding buildings around these atriums is very precise and symmetrical, but the spatial organization of each atrium complex is relatively free.As far as these four courtyards are concerned, the most famous ones are the "Myrtle Court" and the "Lion Court".

The "Myrtle Atrium(s)" in the palace is a large and striking courtyard.It is also the most important group space in the Alhambra Palace and the center of diplomatic and political activities.It is surrounded by marble columns with a shallow and flat rectangular reflecting pool in between.and the beautiful central fountain.Two rows of myrtle hedges line the sides of the pool, which is where the atrium gets its name from.

The planting of the myrtle hedge dates back to 1492 after the Spanish occupation of the area.Inside the Myrtle Atrium.You can enjoy two excellent architectural appearances, one of which has a main view of a tower exceeding 40 meters, from which you can enjoy a fascinating view.Surrounding buildings are projected into the pool. The slender columns, elegant arches, and the delicate traditional lattice pattern on the outer wall of the corridor complement each other with the quiet and clear water, making people feel like they are in a floating and ethereal environment. Among the holy places.The Myrtle Palace courtyard has a large marble-paved pool in the center, which is named after the myrtle flowers planted around it.North and south hatchbacks.On the pillars of the corridor composed of countless columns, there are all exquisite patterns, and the handwork is extremely delicate.The building materials of the columns are made by grinding pearls, marbles, etc. into powder, then 'mixing' them into the soil, and then slowly stacking and carving them by hand.The hall here is square, 37 feet long on each side, and the walls on all four sides are all geometric patterns inlaid with filigree, and the colors are gorgeous.There is a 75-foot-high dome in the middle, which is the audience room.Inside is the throne of the Sultan.The Ambassador's Hall is famous for its carved star-shaped chandelier ceiling and arched windows.

Through the east side of the Myrtle Court, you can come to the Lion Court, which is the center of the Sultan's family.In this Mohammed V palace.Four halls surround a very famous atrium - the Lion(s).The columns support the exquisitely carved arched corridor. Looking from the columns to the atrium, there are 12 powerful white marble lions in the center holding a large water bowl (fountain). The large water bowl in the center is arranged in a ring shape.Since the Koran prohibits the use of animal or human images as decorations, in Arabic art, this practice of using lion statues to support fountains is very surprising, and it can be understood as a symbol of monarchy and victory. , and the shape of the lion statue here will recall the works of ancient 'Persian' sculptors.

The Court of Lions is a classic Arabian courtyard.It is divided into four by two canals.Water pours out from the mouth of the stone lions and flows through the two channels to the four corridors surrounding the atrium.The corridor is erected by 124 palm tree-like columns.The mosaic patterns on the arches and corridor ceilings are appropriate in scale and quite exquisite: the arches are carved from stone.The workmanship is fine, elegant and intricate. Similarly, the corridor ceiling also shows the extremely exquisite carpentry craftsmanship at that time.Because the column body is relatively slender, four columns are often combined together, which not only meets the needs of the supporting structure, but also adds a sense of layering to the courtyard building, making the space more rich and delicate.In such an environment, it is easy for people to relax their spirits and change their personal mentality.In the Lion Court, you can also see the cloister similar to the medieval monastery.It is divided and organized according to the golden ratio, and all its proportions and scales are quite classic.Therefore, this waterscape system has both cooling effect and decoration.

However, amidst the sad and sad music of the banjo, His Royal Highness the Marquis of Basten, accompanied by the butler, went back and forth to inspect the two courtyards that had been roughly repaired.Tonight, a grand reception will be held here to celebrate his housewarming.

Hundreds of servants put the long dining tables together, laid out starched and crisp tablecloths, and placed baskets and baskets of silver tableware.In the kitchen of the palace, there was a strong aroma, and hundreds of chefs and servants were nervously preparing delicious meals for the guests.

"Hurry up! Your Highness is treating guests here for the first time today! What you want is face and ostentation! Have you seen those dozens of tables? The food and dishes on the tables must not be empty, and the hot dishes must not be cold!" the kitchen chief shouted loudly yelling.He repeated the order of His Highness the Marquis to his subordinates.

"It's really a ostentation for a nouveau riche!"

A chubby cook was tasting the "chicken" soup used to prepare food with a long spoon, chewing the "fat" hen's "meat" cooked with dozens of spices in her mouth. But he was cursing with envy and hatred.

It is indeed an upstart.

Not only should a sumptuous banquet be provided for all the guests who come to the dinner, but even the accompanying servants, bodyguards and other characters will also be rewarded with wine and meat.The main banquet hall is set in the atrium of Tao Hua Niang. In order to show his style, Marquis Basten even remodeled the fountain.To ensure that at the beginning of the banquet, what spouted from the fountain was not water, but fine wine.

If this group of Spaniards and Moors have read my Chinese classics.After learning about this arrangement, these four words will pop up in my mind. "Wine pool 'meat' forest!"

Yes, it is the "meat" forest in the wine pool.However, in addition to the "meat" forest in the wine pool, there are settings that are more direct to people's hearts.

Behind the dense Peach Blossom bushes, people's sight is blocked by fine silk and brocade curtains, and people don't know what is behind this thick curtain.

As a round of red sun gradually fell below the horizon, the guests who came to congratulate the Marquis of Andalusia appeared one after another in the atrium of Peach Blossom.People are very surprised by the setting here.

everywhere you look.There are piles of various foods, snacks and staple dishes, and the air is filled with the peculiar smell of food 'mixed' together. With the splash of water, the unique sweet taste of wine hits people's taste buds.Among the guests who came to congratulate him were the cardinal from Rome, the duke of France, the marquis of Austria, the chief of Morocco, the president of the Dutch guild, and the governor of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.If not in such a specific environment.For this banquet, the host specially made gowns made of high-quality brocade for everyone, which cleverly obliterated their respective identities. I am afraid that these people will fight because of their respective camp interests after meeting.

It is very pleasant to drink the mellow wine at will in the fountain with the exquisite carved flower glass.Let the servants standing at the table divide the food they want for themselves.The guests had a sudden sense of time and space confusion: mountains of various delicacies, fountains gushing out, and fine wines flowing in the pools, all of these were only in the One Thousand and One Nights In the story, I have seen it in the letters written by missionaries describing life in the East, and of course, in the memoirs written by the famous Mr. Marco Polo.

Amidst the melodious and cheerful music, tonight's dinner reached a peak.Everyone present raised their glasses to toast to the people around them.

"My dearest friends. I think everyone is tired of this meager banquet. I have arranged some sideshows for our reunion today. I hope you can have a good time."

His Royal Highness the Marquis of Basten, who stood on the high platform and raised a wine glass to toast the guests present, was very modest and polite, but.However, the chiefs, marquises, dukes, and bishops who were present at the scene made wry smiles, piled up mountains of various dishes, and served various snacks like flowing water. This kind of luxurious banquet that can only be held by an oriental monarch, in his But the food in his mouth is meager?So what should we do when we treat guests?

According to Basten's words, people put their hands into the pockets of the silk robes suspiciously, and there lay a brand made of pure gold inlaid with silver.

"I prepared some sideshows for you in the Lion Court next door. Dice, Pai Gow, oh, the mysterious oriental dominoes, and the more unpredictable oriental tiles - mahjong, and our European stuff. In everyone's hands For that brand, you can go to the croupier to get five thousand gold coins as chips."

"However, if you are not interested in those," His Highness Basten made an expression that everyone is a man, and I understand your thoughts.The right hand raised up very handsomely, the conductor of the band playing beside the myrtle grove played a fancy piece of music, and a servant removed the curtains surrounding the myrtle grove, "Lu ' Out of the back of a boundless 'colorful' 'color'.

Looking at the enchanting, beautiful, or sacred and glamorous beauties of various colors slowly appearing from behind the brocade curtain, the guests present couldn't help being a little at a loss, and the sound of clattering wine glasses falling to the ground into one piece.

Someone was wearing a silk dress similar to a nun's priestly robe, but her feet were slender and she walked over. A cardinal who came from the Vatican could see it clearly, although the style and color were different. The nun's robes are very close, but based on his deep understanding of the nun's robes, this is definitely not the case!

good.This kind of clothing that extremely embodies the 'female' figure and outlines the 'seductive' lines is based on the nun's priest's robes, using high-quality silk.Combining the characteristics of the ao dai in Li Shouhan's palace, it is made according to the figure of European "female", which is extremely lethal to the European nobles and bishops of this era.One can imagine.

What's more, there are more than a dozen women in the head who are dressed in the improved version of nuns' Taoist robes.A thin layer of lace veil was 'covered' on the face, which gave the guests endless room for reverie.After walking a few steps, the group of nuns stopped in their tracks, each posing in a seductive pose, and slowly pulled the skirts of the Taoist robes up or to one side, revealing the inside 'Spring' light.

But it turns out that every woman is wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes made of leather. What's even more peculiar is that the shoes flash a strange bright color under the light.Look up along the foot.The big legs are tightly wrapped in black stockings, which brings endless visual impact to people.

Behind the team of nuns is a group of women dressed as palace ladies, that's all.For this group of noble gentlemen, these 'women' are the ones they have to deal with every day.It's really a bit aesthetically fatigued.However, a little closer, people will find the difference.Needless to say, these 'women' are also wearing luxurious silk clothing, but what floats from them is a faint fragrance, unlike the 'women' in their own home.His body was filled with the strong body odor accumulated from years of not taking a bath.

While the skirts were swinging, people could vaguely see the white stockings on the legs of the women and the leather high-heeled shoes on their feet. An Austrian count swallowed.Blinking hard, "Damn, this damn upstart. When I go back, I must buy some clothes like this from him!"

An even more mesmerizing spectacle ensues as the band plays a sacred tune akin to a church choir.

Considering the feelings of the Muhammad believers present, the band only played music full of sacred meaning, but the scene unfolded in front of people had nothing to do with the sacred.

Dozens of them were dressed in snow-white silk dresses, with 'garlands' made of olive branches on their heads.There are also huge wings made of bird feathers on its back, as if it is dressed up as an angel in religious mythology.but.The clothes on these angels were too short, and the short skirts were even shorter than the pajamas of the Spanish nobles.Almost to the lower edge of the 'hip'.And the lower edge of the 'buttocks' is a more 'seductive' white lace garter belt, connecting the same white stockings.

Seeing this scene, several distinguished guests from Istanbul and the Vatican were unanimously excited.

"I didn't expect to be able to mess with the 'woman' under the cross like this here!"

"Being so close to the angel, I seem to have heard the voice of the Lord!"

Where there are angels, there will naturally be devils.

A burst of 'exciting', 'seductive' drums sounded, and the lights in the courtyard were covered by servants with black lampshades, and the light in the entire courtyard suddenly dimmed.

From the depths of the Peach Blossom bushes, more than a dozen girls with extremely hot and charming figures held three-pronged forks in their hands, swayed their waists, and shot out their breasts and buttocks Waves' along the way.Unlike the angels, ladies, and nuns just now, their bodies are not made of silk, but leather.The shiny leather wraps their torsos, but only the main part of their torsos.

A sharp-eyed member of the Habsburg family stared straight at the devil girl who was getting closer, at the white flowered breast in front of him, and at the two mountain peaks The deep gully between them is enough to drown countless men, and there are also black lace garter belts and bright leather high heels under the torso.

Several devil girls walked up to the people, waved the three-pronged fork in their hands playfully, turned around and shook their buttocks towards the people.

"Lord! Please give me the divine power, I want to subdue these devils." A cardinal muttered to himself, and at the moment when the group of devil girls turned around, he saw the girl The tails on the back of the men, the furry tails, are really inserted into the chrysanthemums.

"Everyone, please feel free."

Mr. Basten cheered loudly to the people in the courtyard from the balcony, and hit a gong on the balcony with the small mallet in his hand.Immediately, most of the lights in the courtyard were extinguished by the servants, leaving only a few lights to provide the minimum light.

Suddenly, as the lights went out, there were bursts of strange sounds in the courtyard.

In the shadow of the lights, under the trees of Peach Blossom, next to the fountain pool, and on the dining table with cups and plates, you can see one after another here.

If the light allows, you might see it.The governor of Turkey and the cardinal of the Vatican holding an angel are making sandwiches that have not yet been invented.It's just that, according to my usual hobbies, in front of this angel.The cardinal stubbornly chose the same dry road as the boys in the choir.The front waterway was 'handed over' to the Governor of Turkey.

The Earl of France, together with His Royal Highness the Duke of Spain, launched a conquest against a devil girl.He even invited God's servants to join in at the critical moment, attacking the devil's girl three ways up and down, in order to achieve the effect of plowing the courtyard and sweeping the "holes" to subdue the devil and defend the way!It has to be said that the cardinals of the Vatican still have their own unique skills when it comes to attacking from behind. Begging for mercy.

On behalf of Mohammed's believers, the governors of Turkey launched a fierce offensive against the goddesses in nuns' priestly robes.Use the sharpest weapons and the most violent speed.The anger representing the sword and fire was applied to this group of women representing the cross.

As another rectangular courtyard of the Alhambra Palace, the Lion Court is 116 feet long and 66 feet wide, surrounded by a clever veranda with 124 marble columns, and there is a building in the middle that imitates the toilet of the Xituan order. The domed roof is decorated with exquisite patterns of filigree marquetry.

However, after the day's 'color' gradually brightened, when the servants cleaned the place, they found a lot of garbage: torn clothes, women's underwear, and men's robes.A three-pronged fork, a leather whip, a bible that was soaked in an unknown liquid and gave off a fishy smell, and chips scattered all over the place.

Servants scavenged among these items for reuse.But in my heart, I was wondering what happened here under the cover of night.

However, when the guests got up to enjoy their dinner, the servants were surprised to find that those guests from Portugal who were close to His Highness the Marquis were fighting with the guests from the Vatican, Paris and Istanbul fiery.

Vatican guest: "Give my regards to your general. The general's devotion and praise to God are heard by the Lord. We thank the general for his contribution to religion."

Behind the palace, more than a dozen carriages were loaded with silk, tea, porcelain, spices from the East, as well as enchanting North African slaves and beautiful boys. The wheels of the carriages pressed the road into deep ditches. , can see.There are even heavier things on board.The flag representing the Holy See of the Vatican is 'inserted' on the front of the car, which is the devotion of the Portuguese Restoration to the Holy See.

Guests in Paris and Istanbul: "It's okay. As long as we work together, Spain will become a geographical term!"

His Royal Highness Basten, Marquis of Andalusia.It is regarded as the most honorable friend by the royal families of European countries, from the sultan of Turkey to the emperor of the Habsburg dynasty. These people who were impossible to meet in the past readily reached a consensus: within [-] kilometers around Granada In the Demilitarized Zone, whichever country dares to use force here, the whole of Europe regards him as a public enemy!

Not long after, His Royal Highness Basten donated privately to build a monastery as a monastery directly under the Holy See.Used to carry forward the glory of God.However, this monastery only takes in the most beautiful women and beautiful boys.Because their appearance and body are used by demons to "seduce" humans, and they must be guided to the right path under the light of the Holy See. Almost every season, cardinals from all over the world preach here. Gospel.

All kinds of the latest oriental magical things will appear in the court of His Royal Highness Marquis Basten, and then appear in the palace residences of noble lords, rich men, kings and the like in Europe.In European aristocratic female circles, there are often people discussing which marquis's daughter, the wife of a certain duke, has become the lover of His Royal Highness Basten.And the aristocratic women of various countries have also found a secret way of word of mouth to get what they want.So, the French princess asked the cardinal for a bottle of fine perfume.The Duchess of Austria opened her arms to the Governor of Turkey for a bottle of fine perfume; and the daughter of the head of the Dutch guild, perhaps for a set of top-quality silk underwear, lay down with a coquettish smile The 'bed' of the Spanish emperor.

In Europe, North Africa, and the Near East, only chiefs, kings, emperors, and sultans are eligible to enjoy top-level services in the harem of His Royal Highness Marquis Basten.In this way, this strange situation has been formed. The armies of several countries outside have been beaten to death, while in the palace of His Royal Highness Basten, the nobles and kings of various countries face each other frankly, and the crotch may be the other party or the first. The beauties of the Three Kingdoms play mass sex activities.

The clergy of the Vatican have special regulations for preaching the Gospel in His Highness Basten's monastery. They must wear a talisman before they are allowed to enter, that is the word "卍".The old bishop preached to the young bishop that this talisman has special magic power and can counteract the power of God. Anyone who wears this kind of talisman will be manipulated by the devil within two hours, and nothing happens at that time Humans can control.

We are to cultivate our courage with the piety we bring under the will of God.Not ordinary courage, but the courage to challenge the devil.A man can lose his life, but not his courage.

With these courages, one after another, the cardinals went to the monastery of His Royal Highness Basten to fight against the devil with their pious heart and the courage to challenge the devil, and turned their bodies into beauty. The devil's will of the girl and the beautiful boy are fighting each other.

An old priest failed to provoke the devil's amulet, and eventually died of illness on board.His life is a legend. Due to the powerful magic power of the devil amulet, it is difficult for ordinary challengers to live past fifty, but this strong bishop lived to eighty and set a record for challenging the devil amulet.Before he died, he took the new bishop's hand and said: "I have no regrets in my life. The only regret is that I can no longer challenge the devil's amulet. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely challenge again. From now on, this task will be handed over." Here you go, remember, don't try to use 'drugs' to defeat the devil, this is God's self-esteem."

The monastery and the Alhambra Palace of His Highness Basten were jokingly called the Red Building by the defenders in the documents of the Southern Guangdong Army, while in Europe, both the royal family and the Holy See called this group of buildings the Devil’s Pavilion .

This is something to say later, let's not press it for the time being.

After Portugal's restoration got online with most countries in Europe through various channels, the lively drama began again.

First of all, the Holy See of the Vatican no longer declares that the Portuguese Restoration is a traitor to God, but ignores that Joao IV's territory and Philip IV's territory are being eaten away piece by piece by Gonzalez's dwarfs.

The French, who confronted him behind Spain, took the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, and declared in a secret meeting with the envoy of the restoration that Joao IV, who accepted the canonization of Spain during the Spanish rule, was a traitor to Portugal and could not represent the Portuguese people. .

The French Empire issued a solemn statement that it only recognized the Portuguese reinstatement as the sole legal representative of the Kingdom of Portugal and all people.

Although the Ottoman Empire in the east did not issue any announcements or documents, it just ignored the ships and goods flying the flag of rebellion, and allowed him to unload and transport between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. q
