After breakfast, they drove the Citroen car provided by the hotel and arrived at the Louvre in the center of Paris.

Located in the fourth arrondissement of Paris, the Louvre Museum on the north bank of the Seine River was built in 1994. After more than 800 years of expansion and reconstruction, it has reached its current scale. It is one of the most important ancient buildings in France. During the long years of the Kingdom of France, there were fifty kings and queens living there one after another. Now, it is one of the three major museums in the world, attracting a large number of tourists every year.

However, when it comes to the display items inside, many of them are not so high-sounding.

When I walked to the front of this wide palace, I passed by the Louvre Square surrounded by buildings on three sides, and saw Shangguan Ling stopping next to the glass pyramid in the square with great interest. Long Yun also stopped and took a few glances.

The first time I saw this famous landscape with my own eyes, in his eyes, the pyramid standing on the empty square is undoubtedly a symbol.

The glass pyramid, a modernist building with a triangular overall design, is almost covering the three-story roof of the Louvre at a height of 21 meters. The transparent pyramid totem is stuffed into the landmark building in the heart of France, and I don’t know what the famous Chinese designer Du Yuming thought.

Perhaps, is he ironing the alternative sentiment of the French?

"It's really a bit unsightly to put the pyramid here." After observing for a while, Long Yun couldn't help but complain.

"Is that right? But I think the style is good, and it's not abrupt to put it here."

"Ha, is that?" He guided Shangguan Ling away from the pyramid and walked into the main entrance. On the way to the ground floor exhibition area, Long Yun continued his doubts. Putting a rough-shaped pyramid in front of the classical architectural palace may find this interesting; but imagine how it feels to build a Parthenon not far from the ** city tower?

The French tolerance, or stupidity, can be seen from this.

"The pyramids are not typical symbols of civilization. Many civilizations have built pyramids," Shangguan Ling still disagreed. "I think this means that the French can accept different civilizations and live in peace with each other. Isn't that good?"

"What you are talking about is politically correct. But we are not living in the Garden of Eden. What is the country that you call accepting and tolerant? What do you think now? The bodyguards cannot leave their bodies here for a moment, what do you think?" Long Yun shook his head, as if he was still unsatisfied: "There is the nation, and the world. You respect yourself first, and then someone will respect you. Build the symbols that symbolize other civilizations in front of the markers of your own civilization, hehe! It's as unlucky as a coffin blocking the doorstep!"

"Your idea is too extreme!" Shangguan Ling frowned slightly and shook his head with dissatisfaction.

Hearing such accusations, Long Yun did not make any more excuses, but stood under the pyramid and looked up at the sky from the transparent dome.

Is it extreme? He doesn't think so. When the country is weak, he is facing only the muzzles and smoke of the invaders. Where are the so-called democratic and tempting mutual tolerance?

If history could choose, he still firmly believed that all Chinese people would choose the same path, and use the long baptism of blood and fire to win awe, rather than pinning their hopes on the illusory world. Fastening into such reverie, Long Yun almost unconsciously said a sentence.

"You girls will not understand the fate of the country and the dignity of the nation."

...

In the afternoon of the same day, driving through the Seine River, Long Yun pulled Shangguan Ling to the French National Archives located in the third district of Paris.

Unable to observe the surrounding situation along the way, Long Yun felt a little nervous, and his hands holding the steering wheel were sweating.

Since he said that without restraint in the morning in the Louvre, Shangguan Ling has been frosty and has never said a word to him. At this time, she was sitting in the passenger seat holding a tablet, looking down at the map without distraction; she could feel the anger in the heart of this beautiful girl, and Long Yun felt that he was a complete fool and idiot.

He just needs to know some things himself, why should he say them and stimulate her?

Isn't this asking for trouble?

Before coming to France, Su Xue specifically mentioned to him that the one who was going to was not the Fontainebleau modern archives branch, but the main palace of the Subiz Palace, which only preserves ancient and modern archives. Something like ancient archives... If Su Xue hadn't asked him to see it, he wouldn't have been interested in turning those old piles of old papers.

Although it is the national archives storage place of the French Republic, there are no doors at the entrance of the archives.

It is no wonder that people living in the present are undoubtedly more concerned about the future; as for the words "reading history makes people wise", few people probably remember it.

However, Long Yun encountered a problem when he was going through the procedures at the entrance of the main hall.

He didn't know before that the French National Archives were generally only open to French citizens. Although the Chinese passport in Long Yun could allow him to lure him into this country that was no longer glorious as before, he could not enter this ordinary archive.

Long Yun tried to negotiate with the archives staff, but on one side it was English and French, which was clearly talking about their own words. Seeing his dilemma, Shangguan Ling, who was standing beside him, shook his head, walked up to pull Long Yun's sleeve, and asked him to stand aside.

"Hello. I am an academic exchange staff invited by the University of Paris. Now I need to check some archives in your library. - Oh, this is my assistant." After a few words in Chinese, Shangguan Ling's face was calm, but the certificate handed over obviously played a cooperative role.

Seeing this tall and beautiful interviewer, the administrator seemed a little fascinated and looked at him a little more, then returned the ID to Shangguan Ling, and asked them both to come in in a hurry.

The invitation certificate from the University of Paris is so easy to use?

Long Yun was secretly surprised, but he didn't say anything, and walked into the archives with Shangguan Ling.

The French National Archives can rank among the forefront of the world in terms of scale and completeness of collections; it is said that the length of its archive rack has exceeded 400 kilometers, and the large amount of documents and materials collected covers domestic and related important events in France from the 6th century AD until recently. It is simply a treasure house for those who study literature and history.

Walking in the cool and dry corridor of Yin, Long Yun remembered Su Xue's words. He followed the prompts to search for the past, and then came to the archive room where ancient case files were stored.

Although he was looking at the archives, Long Yun was not in the mood to flip through the old and messy documents, and it was impossible for him to do so in the archives. He first retrieved the relevant search catalog on the computer, and then looked at the specific document photos and patterns.

In the vast pile of information, Long Yun felt like a crab on the beach, facing the vast ocean, and he could only sigh. He wanted to find Shangguan Ling, who was proficient in language, to help check the directory, but seeing that she was just walking around slowly and gracefully, clearly not wanting to pay attention to his appearance, so he could only sigh secretly.
