There is such a breastplate in the Invalides. A 23-year-old cavalryman named Francois Foveau of the Carabineers had just married before joining the army in 1815. He then participated in the Battle of Waterloo. A solid cannonball hit his breastplate. If it was an ordinary bullet, the breastplate could protect him, but in front of the solid cannonball, it was like a piece of paper. There was a hole in the breastplate. It was obvious that Francois Foveau could not go back alive to see his newlywed wife after being shot.

In 1867, Napoleon III and Tsar Alexander II held a grand military parade here on the Longchamp Plain, which was enough to be recorded in history. The bright sunshine and the gorgeous lineup seemed to have written a gorgeous chapter for France again. Napoleon III showed a national treasure before the parade began-a shining breastplate.

This breastplate is not much different from the one worn by François Foveau, and it is not made of gold. The only difference is that it is intact and seems to have been repaired. The people who once followed Napoleon I were full of thoughts, as if they were recalling their glorious past, and the young soldiers looked determined. It reappeared above the Longchamp Plain like a star swallowed by the night after the Battle of Waterloo.

If it were not for a bullet hitting the horse pulling the carriage of Napoleon III and Alexander II at the end of the parade, the parade would undoubtedly be a success. This assassination was not like Archduke Ferdinand. In fact, Archduke Ferdinand died after the second assassination that day. He was attacked by a grenade before being shot, but he did not end his trip that day because of the assassination.

There were more than two people who planned to assassinate the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo that day. If the second assassination failed, there would be a third assassination, and if the third assassination failed, there would be a fourth assassination. This kind of endless struggle did not occur at the 1867 military parade. Napoleon III and Alexander II successfully evacuated and held another secret meeting a few days later.

Taking out the heart is like opening a hole in the chest, as if you really lost the most precious thing.

The National Seal Park is very Versailles-style, but it is far less luxurious than Versailles. After Colbert succeeded Fouquet as Louis XIV's finance minister, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of his predecessor, he was very cautious in the construction process. The palace is short and there is only one building. The garden is very small and there are only a few fountains.

There are no sculptures in these fountains. There is a long waterway in the park. Because it is not the season for cherry blossom viewing, there are not many tourists in the park. In short, it feels very empty here, almost for military parades.

"Just now the administrator told me that the water for irrigation of green areas and fountains comes from the Arcueil Canal, and the drinking water in the park comes from the Montsouris Reservoir." Alessandro said, he had changed out of his decent dress and returned to his usual sportswear. "But the drinking water was not installed until the 20th century."

Severus lit a cigarette and began to puff in the park filled with fresh air.

"Maybe Napoleon III did not participate in this plan." Alessandro said, "The same name of the National Seal Line and the National Seal Park is just a coincidence."

"Have you heard of the word Yue system?" Severus asked.

"What?" Alessandro asked curiously.

"Everyone has his own status. If you have something beyond your status, it is called overstepping the boundaries. For example, the palace of a viscount cannot be more magnificent than that of a king, no matter how rich he is." Severus said, "Louis XIV was a man who paid great attention to court etiquette. Although Nicolas Fouquet was on the right side during the Fronde, his residence was overstepping the boundaries. Louis XIV was enraged by this and arrested him for corruption a few weeks after visiting his mansion. All his property was confiscated. I remember his family emblem was a squirrel. The little thing sat proudly in the center of the laurel wreath, which was held up by two lions. There was also a parchment scroll in the squirrel's hand, which read 'quo non ascendat'. I think there is no one who is more suicidal than him."

"What does that sentence mean, quo non, uh..." Alessandro said as if his tongue was tied.

"What I mean is, how high will he climb? The king is suspicious of him because of this motto, thinking that Fouquet has the intention to usurp the throne. I think he didn't climb high enough, but this squirrel didn't know that no matter how high he climbed, as long as the tree he climbed caught fire, he would fall down and fall into purgatory."

"That's it?"

"Look at the stones of the fountain, can you tell where they came from?"

Alessandro shook his head.

"Maybe it's not the stones of the fountain, but the sculptures of the fountain." Severus said, "We have to move the sculpture of Mr. Gray here."

"Didn't you ask us to move the sculpture of the Michel Fountain?" Alessandro asked.

"I asked you to investigate the fountain." Severus could not help but roared, "There are so many policemen there, and so many passers-by, do you also want to be on the front page tomorrow?"

"I know." Alessandro said as if to calm things down, "Can you keep your voice down?"

"Maybe you should exchange with Monica." Severus said, "She looks smarter than you."

"Do you need a female companion, or are you going to find that old woman?" Alessandro asked.

"You can go." Severus said to Alejandro, who shrugged and walked towards the taxi parked in the distance.

After he walked away, Severus took out the communication crystal, and soon Gong Saiyi's voice appeared on the other side.

"How's the investigation going?" Severus asked.

"How is your investigation going?" Gong Saiyi asked.

Severus' face was livid.

"Perhaps your family has been away from the aristocracy for so long that you have forgotten what rank is all about?"

"You can go elsewhere to promote your level." Gong Saiyi said unceremoniously, "I have other things to be busy with, boss, it's all your business."

"I have received a message," Severus said. "Don't want what belongs to the King."

Gong Saiyi was stunned for a moment, "How did you think of it?"

"I just have this feeling." Severus said, looking at the palace in the distance. "Even if I am not a squirrel who doesn't know how high the sky is, I should know that wings made of wax will melt if they are too close to the sun."

"Where are you?"

"The Great Seal Park." Severus said, "It has the same name as the Great Seal Line. I heard that it was built by Colbert, Louis XIV's finance minister."

"The French often compare Louis XIV and Napoleon." Gongsey said, "Colbert once said that trading companies are the king's regular army, and factories are his reserve army. Business under the French autocratic monarchy is different from yours in the UK. ”

"Do you know why the Potter family is a pure-blood family but is not divided into twenty-eight pure-blood families?" Severus asked.

Gong Saiyi did not answer.

"Why is the Gaunt family still a pure-blood noble despite being in such a miserable state?" Severus continued.

"I think it has nothing to do with the amount of money." Count Leroy muttered dissatisfied.

"Then how much do you think the Great Seal Park has to do with Montsuri Park?" Severus said, "I heard that the direct drinking water from the Montsuri Reservoir is sent here."

"Have you heard of Queen Eugenie and her Queen Party?" Gong Saiyi said, "Sometimes I really feel that it is necessary to marry a good wife."

"Do you think Carolina de' Medici was a good queen?" Severus asked.

"What?"

"There is an aqueduct nearby, which was built by Carolina de' Medici, and the artificial lake in Montsuri Park also draws water from there. This lake once dried up for some unknown reason. An engineer even said that Suicide, what if I use some method to dry up the water in these pools and then fill them with the summoned 'water of eternal life'?"

Gong Saiyi was speechless.

"I will continue to investigate, so hurry up." After saying this, Severus put the communication crystal into his pocket, and then disapparated.
