Miss Bach's Crab Canon

"unlimited?"

"He is self-existing and eternally existing, and human definitions or contradictions are meaningless to Him. In my time, there were also rational philosophers like Spinoza, who believed that God is the universe and the inner cause of everything." , and our thinking about God based on our own insignificant wisdom is also a process through which God allows us to think and understand His inconceivability..."

Joannis took a sip of her mint tea and continued.

"There are also non-religious wise men who believe that this paradox of omnipotence itself is meaningless. After all, it is a semantic contradiction...Since you have defined God as omnipotent, then 'cannot lift' itself is untenable, so this paradox is Invalid."

This was originally Gao Yiyu's point of view that he wanted to use to end... Unexpectedly, this is actually an old-fashioned topic.

Joannis is a serious girl: "There are also theologians who openly admit that God is not omnipotent. There are many other viewpoints, such as the essence of omnipotence includes not doing things that violate 'almighty'... In fact, there are also A lot of people think these are poorly reasoned rebuttals. I think it’s these debates that drive our progress, and that’s part of God’s wisdom for us.”

This made Gao Yiyu at a loss for what to say, she was so serious... Mistake!

When Joannis wanted to continue to elaborate on other points of view, she could only find an opportunity to change the subject.

"Indeed, many debates have produced some new ways of thinking, which has also laid the foundation for science and so on... Science allows us to have electric guitars, keyboards, trains without noisy people, and planes to travel in the sky... "

"Huh?! Airplane? Sky?!"

"Then I'll tell you something?"

"Good good!"

After he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Gao Yiyu reflected on his idea of ​​entertaining her.

And Joannis also took the opportunity to jump from the seat facing her to her side, and even yelled "Tell me about the plane" in an open and honest manner, touched Gao Yiyu's hand, and shook her shoulder... She didn't seem to be disgusted Woolen cloth.

From talking about airplanes to the scientific knowledge learned so far from textbooks, Gao Yiyu taught them to Joannis little by little-she learned very quickly, although there are some reasons why the content is in elementary school or even kindergarten, but she Not stupid kids, but hardworking people.

until night—

The kerosene lamp was finally liberated by Gao Yiyu, because it finished its duties, and it has made Joannis understand that there are multiple components in the air, and oxygen provides combustion.

Of course there are surprises——

Especially when Miao Miao rushed out to embrace the kerosene lamp, Joannis pointed to the small flying flame and asked: "So, what you said about combustibles, temperature, and combustion aids...is it true?"

"This... magic power doesn't count."

In a sense, the unknown pop music demon took away the magic power of all mankind, so that everyone can raise a meow, which makes these basic science teachings meaningful—at least for now is meaningful.

……

The two-day and one-night train journey came to an end soon—relying on science education, the two of them did not have a boring life.

Until she got off the train and came to the station in St. Petersburg, Joannis was still a little bit reluctant.Belonging to two people, carefree, only science and time with each other, so far away from myself...

Of course, the other one was finally liberated thankfully, even when she was sleeping, she was picked up by Joannis and asked this and that, who could bear it.Another disadvantage of this kind of free teaching is that the whimsical Yoannis often asks questions beyond the outline...

It's a pity that she looks like a girl who is about 15 years old. Otherwise, it would be easy to find a kindergarten to start with...

Forget it, after returning home, hang idle fish or find a forum, sell a gold coin ruble obtained from Tchaikovsky, and use the money in exchange to enroll Joannis for online preschool education, or online It's okay to go to the first and second grades...

Mrs. Meck and Ms. Katya have already arranged everything. St. Petersburg has a carriage and a temporary residence.

"After spending the night, leave for the Winter Palace tomorrow morning. The musical instruments you need are ready." On the carriage, Ms. Kajia handed a box to Gao Yiyu, and it could be seen that it was specially prepared.

Gao Yiyu took it apart and saw that there were several harmonicas lying inside.

Various standards - some she is familiar with and have been used to modern times, and some she has never seen before.Each has its own key, or a large diatonic scale.Carved sterling silver, precious wood, and no doubt the reeds inside should be good too.

She was not pretentious, took one casually, wiped it with her sleeve, put it on her lips, and tried a few sounds.

"Well, yes."

She is no stranger to the principle of sound production, and she can play it with ease - because the harmonica is a very, very simple instrument.

After wiping the tried harmonica and putting it back—the sound of closing the box interrupted Ms. Katya, who was about to flatter her, and made her swallow what she wanted to say.Then, Gao Yiyu pulled the box to his side, meaning "I want it all".

She understands that maybe they just prepared some for her to choose at random—but... since she didn’t say anything, then if she asks for it, she will be the one who will be embarrassed—she doesn’t mind being called greedy or something , anyway, pat your ass and leave after finishing your work, and say goodbye to the era itself.

However, she misunderstood one thing.

"Very good, it's great that you are satisfied." Ms. Katya put the second box on, "As you requested, here are all portable flutes."

"... oh... oh... have a heart."

Unfortunately, she couldn't swallow this box... She could only take a tin flute, a baroque flute.

……

The next day—

The tsar took a carriage to go to a daily meeting of the city government, surrounded by the tsarist guards, and the ostentation was great, but everything was ordinary.

On the other side, another carriage is much brighter.

It carried two women dressed up, one was Ms. Katya - the other was a full-chested, dignified and elegant young beauty who was obviously from a different country and culture.

There was melancholy in her eyes when she was young, and she bumped along the way, always holding up a beautiful thing called a vanity mirror and pointing it to the streets of St. It is to show off the exquisite treasures in the hands of the poor outside.

That's really worth showing off... Ms. Katya thought silently, she had never seen such a thing.

"What's the follow-up arrangement?" The oriental girl holding a vanity mirror asked.

"After you succeed, our plan is to leave the Winter Palace for safety." Ms. Katya replied cautiously.

"Well, no problem, but how much will the theft of the treasure affect your identity?"

"It doesn't have any influence. I'm just a favored vase. I don't have a high status, I'm not liked by others, I have no desires, and I'm simple-minded. I'm just obsessed with men... No matter how big things happen, it has nothing to do with me."

Ms. Katja restrains her ostentation and confidence, but remains humble.

"Even so, everything has to be borne by someone, and I have made arrangements... The one who stole the laurel wreath and the harp was a maid in the palace. Of course, everything is for peace, and this maid is not innocent. She is actually arranged by the British. The spies of the tsar, in order to monitor the situation of the tsar. And the whereabouts of the laurels and harps are unknown."

Gao Yiyu nodded, not intending to verify the authenticity, that is meaningless.

She doesn't like Tsarist Russia, especially in this era, and she was warned by Deridoli to be cautious and affect history as little as possible... She thinks she still does a good job in this regard.

Putting away the materials recorded so far, Gao Yiyu calmly admired the street scenery.

"Well—the laurel wreath and the harp will be lost."

070 In the Winter Palace

The closer you get, the more you can feel that the entire city named St. Petersburg actually exists for the buildings in front of you.

The Tsar's residence - the Winter Palace.

But now it is just a shadow, appearing on the other side of the square.

The Winter Palace Square can be regarded as a grand, towering Patriotic War - that is, the Napoleon Memorial Column was beaten away, standing on the ground and pointing directly to the sky.Few people dare to approach this area, but there are still thick enough guards piled up.

The carriage carrying Gao Yiyu and Ms. Katya was parked at the edge of the Winter Palace Square. Just entering here requires several complicated inspections—but Ms. Katya's status is high enough that she really wants to enter the Winter Palace. In the area of ​​the palace, only the guards tried to do some real inspections.

After checking the exterior and interior of the carriage, a fairly polite young man held a gun and asked Gao Yiyu a question.

"...It doesn't look like any dangerous items. These metals are also musical instruments. Then why did you come all the way from the East?"

"I come from a country that is being invaded by Russia—at least in the current history. Of course, I am not representing the official diplomatic activities, but, as a folk artist, maybe I am here to call for peace."

Gao Yiyu answered whatever came to his mind, without preparing his lines in advance.

But this spontaneous answer worked.

The guard's eyes lit up, and then he lowered his military cap, even covering his eyes with the fluff on it: "I hope the Lord bless you to succeed, and peace will come to your country again. I will not refute our monarch's atrocities, because there is no Which tsar has been kind to us."

After speaking, the guard gestured to his companions outside the carriage, indicating that they had passed the inspection.

The young man was outspoken... This surprised Gao Yiyu a little.

Is it because you are not afraid of telling the truth?That's right, even if Gao Yiyu retells his words to others, the foreigner's unsubstantiated words will not cause waves.

"—He is an internal agent of a certain revolutionary party, and belongs to us." After the inspection was over and the guard got off the carriage, Ms. Katya returned to the carriage with her words, "So we will be extra sensitive and enthusiastic when dealing with this kind of issue. , This is what we need, there are many such people.”

"So, you can create the chaos we need."

"As you said."

In the late [-]th century of Alexander II today, has their revolutionary power been rooted in Russia in such a complicated way... Gao Yiyu compared the history he knew, and realized what the history books would not record , the prelude before history happened.

With the review of the guards and Ms. Katya's face, the next road is unimpeded.

The horse-drawn carriage moved forward smoothly in the Winter Palace Square, while manpower, steam machinery, and livestock swept the snow in other places.Even if there is a high probability that they will have a good game tonight, and all their efforts will be in vain, but until the winter passes, this is their daily work.

Gao Yiyu took pictures of everything along the way, while another passenger in the carriage watched everything.

Joannis didn't wear long johns or a padded jacket, because she wanted to be a thief after all.

But it is obviously not enough to wear only skirts in winter, so after the two negotiated on the train, they finally came up with an answer.

Anyway, others can't see it, so use the hot girl as a warm baby-that is to say, no matter in front of Ms. Kajia or in front of the guards, Gao Yiyu is always attached to another girl.

Joannis reached into her clothes to keep warm, hugging and cuddling as best she could.

Meow, controlled by Gao Yiyu's magical power, is responsible for floating around Joannis, and is also the blind spot blocked by Gao Yiyu's body, acting as an artificial sun for Joannis to dispel the cold.

Although there is such a keyboard player on his body, Gao Yiyu has to pretend nothing happened, and even maintain the mystery and dignity of a bard in front of Ms. Kajia.

——This is quite difficult.

After getting out of the carriage, the cold wind blows.

Gao Yiyu walked very slowly, after all it was equivalent to dragging a girl.

But her steps were interpreted by Ms. Katya as another situation: "Russia is protected by the power of the Orthodox Church, especially places like the Winter Palace, which have the protection of the Holy See... It seems that this legend is true. Yes." Ms. Kajia was very close to Gao Yiyu, and her expression was even more serious.

And the sacred power sheltering the Winter Palace is fighting against the bard prophesied by the devil...

Even so, the bard is still dragging his heavy steps forward step by step!This means many things.

When the pale blue and white intertwined, grand and delicate palace can no longer be overlooked——she stepped into the palace.

Carpet, sumptuous light fixtures on either side, a grand foyer full of gold and art, and of course plenty of heating.This liberated the pendant who was holding Gao Yiyu - and also liberated Gao Yiyu's slow pace.

"Huh." She breathed a sigh of relief, it was normal after all.

"It must be difficult to fight...but you won." Ms. Katya sighed slightly.

Of course, this cannot be done blatantly.

Although the religious power cannot be seen, it is probably defeated, but the room is full of guards holding their heads up and holding guns. They seem to be artworks collected in this palace-although they stand stiffly, if you hear heresy speech Might move on.

They tensed up.

Because it is about to get close to the target.

The atmosphere between them changed immediately, and turned into a plan of action that had been discussed.Ms. Kajia, the introducer who brought her into the palace, and Gao Yiyu, a bard who came from the east to seek peace.

"Bard, His Majesty the Tsar is currently on a tour. He may come around noon, and you are a guest from afar. This is the holy land of our country's art treasures. Shall I send a maid to take you around?"

"Isn't this the center of your country? Let me, an outsider, move around?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't touch those dangerous places."

"Then waiting is boring, so I'll promise you your kindness."

This kind of dialogue would not arouse any suspicion in the ears of the guards, the maids who came to meet the guests, let alone how many insiders arranged by Ms. Katya.

But Ms. Katya herself has other plans: "As I am, it is temporarily inconvenient to walk around the palace, but the maid will take good care of you. I hope everything goes well—for peace."

"Good luck to you too—for real peace."

After exchanging glances, Ms. Katya left quickly.

And Gao Yiyu was like a commodity, dressed up by three maids, mature, beautiful, and capable—a court maid with these three different characteristics took over.

"Your face is like a goddess of the moon, and your dress is also very decent."

"But your shoes are a bit off."

"Please don't move, I will wipe it."

The three maids commented on Gao Yiyu, then suddenly knelt down in front of her, and wiped the dust and dirt from her shoes with a silk handkerchief—it was just a little bit, but they were regarded as enemies, very strict treat.

Similarly, they helped Gao Yiyu tidy up the wrinkles of her clothes, the fullness of her skirt, and even combed her hair on the spot.

After this series of receptions that made Gao Yiyu feel uncomfortable—and Joannis quietly and nonstop received her, she was finally allowed to start the arranged wanderings in the palace.

then--

Gao Yiyu silently recalled those plans.

After wandering to a place close to the Amber Palace, Ioannis was allowed to sneak in, and then Tsar Alexander II was assassinated, news of a request for reinforcements would come, and chaos would begin to spread in the palace, and Ioannis took the opportunity to move things. Ms. Katya then left.

But in the aftermath arrangement, she actually had more than one way out.
