Chapter 740: 22. Mysterious Paradise (9)

Swan Island. Located one kilometer long and half a kilometer wide on the southern side of Lake Havel, it is named after a group of swans living on the southern side of Lake Havel.
This place has always been a fashionable residential area of ​​high society. It is secret, secluded and cozy. It is a good place to enjoy lake views and forest air. Most of them are extraordinary villas. Almost every house has a wide lawn, Versailles-style windows, large terraces, stone railings, statues, fountains, long driveways and a 40-square-meter garage.
The big and unjust evil taste is almost the same as the consortium.
Minerva sighed and let her sink into the sofa.
According to the elves, this house is the residence of the Supreme Chief, in other words, the palace. Judging from the amount of land occupied, luxury goods, and decorative arts, it also fits the status. But what about taste, it's really uncomfortable.
However, among the piles of vulgar goods, things that can be found occasionally.
With the headrest on the sofa cushion, the verdant eyes looked up at a painting hanging above the living room.
A young woman, beautiful and elegant, with light brown hair and brown eyes looking at the right side of the picture, a string of black circles around her neck twice. In her arms, a small animal with white fur is lying on its stomach, enjoying the caress of slender and elegant fingers.
The painting is very beautiful, as if absorbing the light in the room, the woman sparkles in the living room. Other gadgets such as chandelier crystal chandeliers, camel clan handmade tapestry, gold-plated armchairs, sofas, hand-carved coffee tables, etc., all seem vulgar and lifeless.
It would be surprising enough that such an elegant work would appear among the many vulgar objects. It was learned from the maid that it was the owner of the house. Surprised and upgraded to shock. And walking up the stairs to serve as a study tower, there are full of books, philosophy, literature, mathematics, law...all-encompassing, make people mistakenly think that they have entered the academic home.
Vulgarity and elegance, clever and low-level diametrically opposed things are actually piled on a person, this is a situation that Minerva has never thought of or encountered. Her curiosity was touched, and she began to look for more clues, carefully thinking and exploring the "Supreme Chief" who had not appeared so far.
Of course, she was destined to futility. In fact. She didn't even know that this painting was someone's famous painting "Holding a Mink Woman" which was "copied" and "pasted" using nano-scale printing technology. If Leonardo da Vinci knows that his paintings are not only cottages, but also used as swindlers, most of them will be angry to roll in the grave.
Minerva closed her eyes. Immerse yourself in the maze of thinking and worry. In a mansion that is closely monitored. This is one of her few freedoms.
The other party did not lock the door. There were no personnel other than the housekeeper and maid in the room to guard. But Minerva could still feel the peeping eyes from all corners of the room, leaving a sticky feeling on the skin. The trees and houses outside also vaguely revealed an unfriendly atmosphere.
Very thorough vigilance, even now she has recovered her physical strength and ability to use magic. There is no chance to leave. Not to mention that she knows nothing about the terrain and surroundings nearby, and she will be caught back if she can’t escape far.
What puzzled her was that the pointed-eared elves only put her under house arrest and took no further action. There was no interrogation and no big figures in the power center visited. It seems to be just to ensure her survival, besides, it is all trivial things.
The information was completely isolated, and she could not speculate on the other party's abacus. Can only endure pervasive surveillance while groping for limited clues, while thinking about Roland of unknown situation.
After that, she and Roland were separated. The elf named Mueller promised to provide Roland with the most treatment. She also witnessed the elf wearing a white coat carefully lifting Roland into a white car. But in this environment, she obviously couldn't feel relieved from the servants' "sorry, we know nothing about it" response.
If you want to leave here, no, you have to leave here as soon as possible.
The hazy restlessness was tumbling in my heart again. The warm touch of the young man's chest came from his right hand. Minerva held his chest tightly and closed his eyes without saying a word.
Just then, two horns rang outside the door, the maids opened the door, and a familiar figure came in.
##########
The four-door convertible sedan turned a beautiful corner and drove onto the Havel tree-lined road. The mottled sunlight through the trees scattered on the silver body, reflecting a little golden light. Not far away, the Havel Lake was rugged, and several small sailboats floated lazily on the water, and the triangular white sails and the blue sky contrasted with each other.
Today is a working day, and Swan Island looks empty. On weekends, it will be crowded with national cars that come for vacation, boating, picnics and sunbathing. Now there is no car on the road, the whole road belongs to the Borscher car, and the song on the radio is blowing in the wind.
"Love is hard to speak, heart is broken. Even dancing, playing all day long. Suddenly I heard "I love you", and everyone said, "Say you love me too." Love, love. Ah, I love you."
In the third act of "The Merry Widow", the accompaniment of Hannah and Count Dannilo at the embassy ball, "The Merry Widow Round Dance". For the sweet and light opera, Heidrich grabbed a chocolate and threw it into his mouth, biting off the shell, a sticky cherry juice flowed out of it.
This is the ideal life style of the citizens of Yalfheim, driving a car, wandering between art centers, galleries, museums, and scenic spots, while eating a cream bun, while enjoying the middle-class favorite light opera "Merry widow". Every year, I participate in overseas tours organized by "Get Power Through Happiness (abbreviated as kd)", go to the northern skiing hot springs, swim and sunbathe in the south.
Perfect to make people drunk.
But the repressive atmosphere from the back row prevented Heidrich from being intoxicated.
The air of dissatisfaction and embarrassment lay between those two, and I wondered how to break the deadlock. How to explain the current situation of the teenager, the young girl who is unable to adapt to the fierce changes and is trying to sort out her mind is hard to imagine that the two will form a family, and even Heidrich is worried about their married life.
In the past few days, in order to dry the clothes and cool down, both of them "sincerely met". Even if the little master didn’t know anything about the coma, the highness had done it with a damp cloth and wiped Roland’s whole body. They all got in touch with this one. What else can’t be said?
No way, at this time, the atmosphere can only be adjusted by the cheeky light bulb.
"His Highness have a good rest these days?"
"Resting? Mr. Heidrich, your words are really interesting. Rest."
Minerva recalled the word. A bitter response to:
"You should ask the person responsible for this kind of thing. They will definitely give you a detailed report."
While talking, he turned his face to the lake. A group of seagulls fluttered off the water, a patrol boat drove by quickly, and the armed police on board looked around curiously.
To "protect" Minerva. The elves planned a complete security plan. Regular patrols on air and water. All kinds of open whistle, dark whistle, mobile whistle, guard, security guard, police dog, siren. It is enough to guard a concentration camp. Not to mention the cats and dogs who are more curious. Even a mouse trying to get close to Minerva will be beaten into a sieve.
rest. It's to get a good rest in this environment.
"This is to protect your highness."
Maintaining a thick face like an iron wall, Heidrich's profound eyes refracted through the rear view mirror to Roland.
"After all, there are various situations on our side."
Nowadays, Alfheim is most concerned about. It was not the human queeness that few people knew, but the Scott case.
It may be irritated by Mr. Scott's spirit of "failures and wars", or he intends to completely make things worse and pave the way for a series of subsequent political activities. The extremists pointed out that a ruling race openly questioned national policy and criticized the state administration for undoubtedly being an enemy of the government. Even more dangerous is that this person disturbs order, spreads lies, and dangerously attempts to incite ignorant groups in society. This is an unforgivable crime, so it must be tried publicly to dig out his "communist party". Kill chickens and monkeys, and put an end to such intense reviews of public affairs.
They didn't just preach, but in order to strengthen the dramatic effect and achieve the goal of killing chickens and monkeys, the right-wing big head Dr. Wolfgang Kapu submitted the complaint to the people's court.
Everyone was stunned. No one expected that Cap would bypass the Supreme Court and directly sacrifice the "People's Court ()". When we learned that the People's Court accepted the case, and that Judge Ruud Fresler presided over and Judge Andre Wisinski assisted, everyone looked at Mr. Scott with the sight of the dead.
Unlike regular courts. In order to show the authority of the government, the people's court set up specifically to deal with "major events of different races" is a place without compassion. There are only three kinds of judgments here, innocent, 20 years' imprisonment or capital punishment. The first two are few, and most of the defendants were eventually caught on the gallows. And Fresler and Vysinski, the two "death judges" who are known for their extremely high proportion of death sentences, it seems that Mr. Scott's fate has been doomed. The racists celebrated each other, waiting for victory.
In this context, no arrangements have been made to allow a human queen to enter Yalfheim is definitely a standard risk-taking behavior.
"I'm really sorry, but the official believes that the next visit to Yalfheim will definitely resolve the unhappiness of His Highness."
Heidrich pulled the steering wheel, and the silver car passed the last sentry box, carrying the worried teenage girl to the streets of Yalfheim.
If Rudes is the pearl of today's civilized world, it is a dream city that can satisfy all the dreams of renmen. Then Alfheim is a forest of towers that stands on the ground, exuding an overwhelming force of authority.
Bathed in the sun, the roof of the skyscraper is dazzling, and the smooth silvery luster extends to the sky. Compared with the blue sky in the background, the silver tall building over 200 meters in height looks out of place, just like a silver glass castle that looks like the world.
One such high-rise building is enough to attract wonder and limit, but Minerva is not just this one, but a forest of countless majestic high-rise buildings.
A single huge building that stands out from the crowd will stand out and be centered on it. It is the common sense of human society to radiate various functional buildings to form a city. And here are huge buildings everywhere, leaving Minerva in the jungle of steel and concrete at a loss, only to listen to Heidrich's explanation.
"The Arch of Triumph was started 7 years ago, took 4 years, and was completed on the National Awakening Day 3 years ago. The designer was His Excellency Albert Speer."
Who else besides Speer? This master architect and military management genius was responsible for the design of most large buildings. When it comes to mega-buildings, it is either Spell or the handwriting of his apprentices.
"The Grand Arc de Triomphe is built of granite. The height is 180 meters. The width is 160 meters and the depth is 190 meters. The total volume is 2365685 cubic meters, which is about 49 times that of the Arc de Triomphe. On the inside wall. The name of the martyr of Whelm."
The porsche car entered the gate. Granite hangs over their heads. Minerva pretended not to hear Heidrich's little pride, and carefully looked at the tunnel-like doorway. This doorway is longer than the football field and is 50 stories high. The ceiling and searchlights illuminate the eight lanes inside the door, and there is a small area at the entrance to the list of the dead who are engraved in elven language on the walls. There is still a large blank.
The car drilled through the doorway and returned to the sunny sky of Alfheim.
"Out of the Arc de Triomphe, we came to Victory Avenue. It is 123 meters wide, twice the length of the Champs Elysées on Ludes, 5.6 kilometers long, and 2.5 times the length of the Champs Elysées. On our left It is the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of the Interior, and on the right is the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Food and the Immigration Bureau..."
Bigger, taller, wider, longer, and more expensive than their own experimental body, and the degree of exquisiteness is beyond.
Roland vaguely felt that this was a sense of inferiority. The elves will feel at ease and accept it only after gaining an overwhelming advantage when compared with similar foreign things. Rely on the invisible or tangible fortress to defend the hearts of hundreds of thousands of citizens...
The car entered a high-end commercial street. High-end clothing stores, gem stores, movie theaters, opera houses, and slightly fashionable outdoor cafes line the streets. Wartburg and Porsche national cars shuttled back and forth, and the streets were so clean that people wondered whether even dust could be found. The elves who traveled to and from the street were all dressed up nicely, and even the children showed a calm and good tutor that was different from human children. Children who didn't wear vests and ran around everywhere did not even cross the road. The whole street is in an orderly atmosphere.
More advanced, more prosperous, and more orderly than Ludes.
With a little displeasure, Minerva secretly commented.
The former may be intentional, while the latter is entirely out of natural habits. Only when the quality of all subjects reaches a certain level can an orderly social operating environment be formed naturally. Behind this simple conclusion is the long-term investment in education and social management, both of which require sufficient patience, determination, execution, and financial support to achieve. Whether other countries have the above elements, Minerva is not clear, but she knows that Charlemagne is difficult to do.
but
Minerva raised her eyebrows slightly and continued to look at the pedestrians on the street.
uniform.
Seems too much?
Not an elf without casual clothes, just looking around... Uniforms everywhere. Black, green, navy blue, sea blue, khaki yellow... Elves in various uniforms walk on the street and look like shopping, but more like a kind of assembly or parade.
Impressed by the flash, Minerva continued to watch the bustling street scene. I don’t know why, that beautiful and handsome uniform is more impressive than the high-rise buildings, and the force of the uniform wave even makes the buildings that are directly in the sky go down.
"In front of us."
Drive out of the commercial street and return to the main axis of the axis. Heydrich raised his tone and said in a slightly proud pride:
"The northernmost end of Shengli Street, a miracle in the history of world architecture."
"miracle……"
Minerva murmured softly.
Even with her critical eyes, what she sees is worthy of this title.
At the other end of the street, a huge building stood towering, and on the battleship-like gray pedestal, there was a huge dome halfway into the sky. Even though he felt numb to the skyscraper, Minerva felt his insignificance again.
"The council venue is the largest building in the world. Its dome height is more than a quarter of a kilometer. On some days, the top will be submerged in clouds. What is the radius of the dome, metric meters, St. Peter's Basilica in Ymir Only one-sixteenth of it."
Again.
Roland and Minerva thought of each other.
Perhaps Heydrich didn’t do it on purpose, after all, the travel manual was similar. However, everything is better than others, and it is really superior to show...
In front of the venue of the council is the Gendarmenmarkt Square. On the right side of the square is the Defence Forces Headquarters~EbookFREE.me~ on the left side is the library With a big stroke, it became a library.
"Various books all over the world, including rare and rare books and rare books purchased from all over the world, as well as many books of the consul, are collected here. The citizens of Alfheim can come here to read at any time. Borrow your ID. But"
A hint of cunning flashed in the blue eyes, and the teenager in the mirror frowned.
"This is also a'equal but isolated' area."
"Heydrich!"
"The order above does not need to be tucked away. For better or worse, let your highness and young master see it. Please don't embarrass the little officer."
Roland glared fiercely at the confidential secretary. Of course, he knew Li Lin's orders, as well as Li Lin's calculations. Although he knew it was a "necessary evil", he could not agree on it.
As he planned to remind Heidrich to correct his attitude, a loud scream came from the library. To be continued...
