Chapter 741 Royal Salute Square

The Royal Salute Square is famous throughout Austria, because it is located in the imperial capital Vienna, where the royal family is close to the people of the annual music festival.

Like other empires, Vienna, the imperial capital of a small country located in the corner of Europe, is also the economic and education center of the whole empire. It may not be as gorgeous as London or as fashionable as Paris. If you have to use one word to describe Vienna, only "Junxiu" can accurately locate this. "Goddess of the Danube": The desolate and magnificent eastern Alpine branches run through the east and west, with a panoramic view of the undulating "Vienna Forest". The sparkling Danube winds through it and climbs high and looks far away. Various styles of church buildings give this green and clear city a layer of ancient and solemn color.

The Royal Salute Square is the most lively place in Vienna. On the square paved with blood-red rain and stone, there are all kinds of Gothic and Romanesque buildings, the most famous of which is the world-famous Vienna Music Theatre. This building with a statue of the founding emperor in front is the best place in the minds of musicians around the world. I'm all proud to play here. At the same time, when the music festival is held every year, the Austrian royal family will celebrate with the people in front of this building, so it always looks like a sea of people.

Artists from all over the empire can freely express their personalities here, because this is the music capital of the world and the place where all kinds of cultures collide in the world. You never have to worry about the absence of an audience or the urban management team to drive you away. More than 80 years ago, the Austro-Hungarian Empire split into three countries. At that time, Prince Fabre, who succeeded to the throne of Vienna, once stood here and said--

"I hope that a hundred years later, I can still stand here and listen!"

Prince Fabre became the Pope Pope. The reality is more cruel than a fairy tale. He did not live to be 100 years old. However, in order to commemorate the pioneer of the empire, people erected a towering statue of him in the middle of the Royal Salute Square. Therefore, under the statue of the emperor who likes to listen to the horse and raise the sword, artists around the world can safely play their favorite music.

In Austria, no one dares to violate the will of Fabre the Great, even if he has fallen for a century.

Today is a cloudless weather. Because of the upcoming opening of the music festival, the Salute Square is more lively than usual. Under the statue of Fabre the Great, there is such a unique artist - compared with other unruly musicians, the age of this old man with a white beard seems to be It's a little too big.

"Bah, in my opinion, the royal family should order to drive away all these country bumpies who cheated!" Loya, the owner of the musical instrument shop, muttered disdainfully to the clerk beside him. Although he also took advantage of the music festival to shout in the square to deceive those admired tourists, Loya always felt a little ashamed to be an old beggar who was full of poverty.

"Brother-in-law, the empire welcomes all musicians, but if it's a beggar who cheats you to eat and drink..." A dry and thin young man blinked his eyes and blinked at Loya. He was Loya's brother-in-law and also a henched sman in the musical instrument industry.

Because of the founding emperor, Vienna welcomes musicians from all over the world. Their free and unrestrained personality adds a lot of charm to the city, but it affects the blind flow of the city. Presumably the emperor will not like them when he is alive, so Loya knows his own this very well. The meaning of brother-in-law. He opened his eyes wide and saw that the old man was wearing a gray-brown windbreaker and shabby, and a pair of leather boots were full of dust. He would not be a beggar or a mud leg from a country - if he didn't regard the two crystal balls in front of him as musical instruments.

"Asan, you go to the city guard to call someone. I'll meet this old guy." Loya sneered and spoke gently to her brother-in-law beside her.

When his brother-in-law left, Loya felt very comfortable. He felt that he would be more comfortable when the mud leg knelt on the ground and cried for himself. Loya is not uncomfortable about driving away such a muddy leg. Anyway, this old man is not a tourist who can't contribute a pound to himself, nor is he a musician who adds a little artistic cell to the music festival. No one will use two glass balls as musical instruments, right?

"Sir, you dare to occupy this extreme taste at the feet of the emperor. You are not timid!" Watching the old man take out a piece of bread and eat it, Loya is happy. His brother-in-law has gone to invite the city guard. He decided to tease the old man, "What are you performing? Tell me about it?"

"Divination, ancient gypsy inheritance secret, do you want to have a try?" The old man asked with a smile, and the white beard looked very interesting.

"Good!" I was also idle, and Loya nodded.

The old man didn't say anything. He lowered his head and carefully wrapped the bread in his hand, gently put it in his arms, and straightened his windbreaker. Then he slowly said, "What do you want to divine? Disaster, fortune, or marriage?"

In the business, the old man is obviously well saving the psychology of ordinary businessmen, and the inquiry is just these three, but Loya is determined to find faults. How can he get what he wants? Squinting his eyes, he said with great interest, "Haha, what a coincidence. I don't ask about marriage, I don't ask for wealth, but I'm very interested in the disaster - old man, you might as well guess, will you and I give you the cost of divination?"

Isn't it a word from Loya to pay or not? In a sense, this blatant provocation is the disaster of divination, but I don't know whether it is an old man or Loya's.

"Interesting..." The old gentleman looked at the other party. In the face of Loya's provocation, he just shook his head and sighed faintly, "When I divine, there will be a result."

The old man stretched out his hands, closed his eyes and swayed on the crystal ball in front of him casually, and then opened his mouth to Loya, "The open fire in the dark is uncertain - I saw the clown card! Guest, the result of my divination is that you will give me the cost of divination next time, and you still cry and beg me to accept it.

The old guy's poisonous words almost didn't make Roa faint: You, how did the Gypsy astrology mix with the Tarot? Can't I hear you're calling me for being a clown? People are just asking for peace of mind and good luck. He almost didn't make the guests faint with one sentence. He cried and begged for you. You think you are the reincarnation of the emperor!

"The fee is one million pounds, thank you for your review!" Seeing that Loya didn't respond for a long time, the old man took out his thin hands and shook them rudely in front of him.

"One million? You frame me!" Loya laughed angrily and suddenly felt that such an old liar was very interesting. Where did he come from? He dared to ask for money and pay back his mother's one million pounds. It's not such a way to die!

"Brother-in-law, here, here comes..." Outside the crowd of people inside and outside, Asan's bold voice came to his brother-in-law. It seemed that he had called the city guard over.

"Loya, did you report the case?" After a while, a team of soldiers in armor came over, and the leading middle-aged man said coldly. Looking at his appearance, he obviously knew Loya.

The soldiers who maintain order in Vienna Square are the city guards set up by the royal family according to the ancient system. Don't underestimate these soldiers in armor and holding long guns. Their combat effectiveness is absolutely not inferior to a team of modern soldiers with firearms. Moreover, in the royal square of this imperial capital, not everyone dares to offend the majesty of the empire. These soldiers are walking, and their generousness is just a deterrent.

"Hey, Captain Alsace!" Loya waved his hand with a humble smile on his face. "This old man is a liar. He just blackmailed me of a million pounds. These people can testify."

"One million, good guy? The honor of the empire is not allowed to be defiled. Will you go to the cell with me to repent or resist to the end?

As long as you are a person, you will know that there is something in the captain's words. It is a question whether the so-called confession can come out alive or not. After all, this old man is old, and these people are like wolves and tigers. It's not to blame this captain for being fierce and evil. He dares to blackmail a million on such a ** festival as a music festival. If the punishment is not heavy, it really can't reflect the honor of the empire, right? Of course, if the old man can pay enough fines, that's another matter. After all, the empire is also kind.

"Old man, crying and begging you to collect the money? I'll see who's kneeling this time!" Loya raised her eyebrows and said viciously.

"Originally, I heard that the royal family had decayed, but I didn't believe it! In broad daylight, a small captain of the city guard and a businessman dared to collude to make money and kill..." In the face of Loya's roar and the sneer of the chief of the city guard, the old man sighed and shook his head faintly, "If you are seriously ill, you should use a serious medicine doctor. It seems that I came back at the right time!"
