Chapter 1039 The Fourth Rome
When old people meet each other, especially when they have shared adversity, the mood is even more exciting.
You know, William and Hermione went to the International Wizarding Conference that year and encountered the loss of the Goblet of Fire and the White Dragon incident.
It is with the help of Tyene that the situation can be turned in Venice.
The only question is, why did she come to America and still work for Babling?
In fact, the moment William saw Tyene, he understood.
It must have been Babling who had bypassed herself and found her alone.
In the year when the Triwizard Tournament was held, Babling specifically approached William and wanted to take Tyene.
Only to be rejected by William.
Of course Tyene was good at this kind of thing.She was adopted by Martel since she was a child, and she was specially trained to assassinate wizards.
Ability is definitely not a problem.
But the more so, the more William didn't want her to get involved in these things.
What Triene likes is driving a gondola and sailing on the sea, not killing people.
Seeing William's complicated expression, Trieni smiled lightly and said:
"Back then, Babling came to me and asked if I would like to come to the United States, and she needed someone to help.
I thought it was interesting, so I agreed, don't blame her. "
Tyene reached out and picked at the hair at the sideburns.
Interesting is naturally a lie, otherwise she would not have defected to Martell back then.
She was only willing to come here because Babling told her that she could help William.
But some things don't have to be said, and can't be said.
She deliberately changed the topic, stood beside William, stretched out her hand to compare her height, and said with a smile:
"William, you have grown a lot taller. I remember being a head taller than you back then."
Tyene's height is absolutely outstanding among witches.
A pair of long legs against the sky, it is not an exaggeration to call them "legs".
But two years ago, William was only 15 years old, and he was not yet fully developed. It is normal for him to be much shorter than Renee.
After the three exchanged pleasantries for a while, Hermione asked the most critical question: "How do we enter the U.S. Capitol?"
"I have a solution, don't worry." Tyene winked playfully at her.
……
……
The majestic and magnificent U.S. Capitol is located at the eastern end of the National Mall in Washington, where it is a towering highland.
At that time, Washington designer Pierre Langfang called this place "the base of the monument".
The Capitol covers an area of more than 540 acres, and there are [-] beautiful rooms in it.
The whole building is a three-story flat-roofed building with a tall dome in the center, which is also divided into three floors.
There is also a small round tower on the dome, and the bronze statue of the Statue of Liberty stands on the top of the tower.
With a feather crown on her head, a torch in her right hand and a scripture book in her left, she looks forever at the place where the sun rises in the east.
Standing on the periphery of the Lincoln Memorial and overlooking this magnificent building, William felt very familiar.
Of course, it looks familiar, because the shape of the U.S. Capitol is modeled after the Pantheon in Rome.
When he went to Venice that year, he traveled with Hermione and spent a few memorable nights in Rome, and he was no stranger to the Pantheon.
One building is the same, that's all. If William continues to visit Washington, he will see more familiar things.
Quite simply, many buildings in this city are copied from other countries.
For example, in the city of Washington, although its vertical, horizontal, and oblique axes endow it with the image of a democratic republic such as "separation of powers", a little comparison with the plane of the Palace of Versailles:
It's so similar.
This is also normal, after all, the designer Lang Fang is a Frenchman.
It is not difficult to imagine that the most beautiful new city in his mind is an enlarged version of the Palace of Versailles.
The Lincoln Memorial, a proper replica of the Parthenon in ancient Greece.
There's also the Washington Monument, a replica of an Egyptian obelisk.
Even the name of the capital "Washington", the founding fathers who founded the United States originally wanted to name it "Rome".
They even became so frenzied that they renamed a small broken canal leading to the Capitol as the "Tiber River".
Whom to insult? !
The buildings in Washington are also decorated with statues of the great gods and goddesses of legend - Zeus, Apollo, Minerva, Venus, Sun God, Vulcan, Jupiter.
It's just that these gods look like the founding fathers of the United States.
Therefore, it is not without reason that the United States and Russia cannot urinate in the same pot.
Russia has always regarded itself as the successor of Byzantium - the third Rome.
And the United States also has the saying of contemporary Rome.
The founders of the founding of the country wanted to imitate Roman architecture one by one in the capital.
All I have to do is tell everyone: I, the successor of Rome, surrender!
This is not the battle of national destiny.
But this kind of debate is really ridiculous, after all, Roman orthodoxy is in... Zhangjiakou.
It's useless for Jing Luo to be furious.
The three of them can still get close to the Lincoln Memorial, but from here overlooking the Capitol, you can see tanks parked at the door.
Generally, to enter the Capitol, you need to go to the underground visitor center.
That's right, tourists can go in and visit government agencies such as the Capitol and the White House.
Some areas are open.
But at this time, it was already under martial law by the Muggle army, and anyone who approached it would be warned by tanks and vehicles.
There must have been many scavengers in the building, the wizards had sealed the entrance and cast anti-apparition spells.
Although it is possible to enter by force, it also loses its secrecy.
Tom probably also wished that the Magical Congress of America would send Aurors to break in.
Other methods are needed.
Both William and Hermione looked at Tyene.
She had been here for a few years and knew the geography better than either of them.
Triene really knew the secret passage, she smiled and said:
"We can enter from the Library of Congress, and there is a connecting corridor between the two buildings."
The Library of Congress, as its name suggests, mainly serves Congress, and its location is due east of the Capitol, not far from Capitol Hill.
These seem to be two buildings, but in fact few people know that the two sides are connected.
This passage, located just under Independence Avenue, secretly connects the two buildings.
But because it's too secretive, it seems that neither the SSR nor the Cleaners know about it.
At least not surrounded by troops.
Led by Tyene, the three quietly apparated towards the door of the Library of Congress.
The entrance is a bronze door, which has been closed at this time.
But for wizards, it's easy to open.
After the three of them entered the building, even in the dim light of night, the library hall was still shining brightly, showing the classical grandeur of the European court.
Soaring 75-foot ceilings, stained-glass skylights, and foil-clad beams complement each other.
At that time, it was simply a nouveau riche decoration.
But one thing is true, the Library of Congress, as the largest library in the world... none of them.
It's really not in vain.
