Was there anything wrong with Ludwig II's head? This is the question of countless people. There were indeed various rumors in Europe at that time, but no one found any evidence that there was something wrong with the king's mind.
On the contrary, rumors about King Long Yang's good fortune are rampant. This shows that human beings are still vulgar in the final analysis. Once the same news is smeared, it will immediately attract the public's attention.
While Xiao Letian and Princess Sissi were having a tryst, Ludwig II in Hohenschwangau was enjoying his own, lonely but not lonely dinner!
In the gorgeous restaurant, there was not even a maid pouring wine. Only the king was pacing and waiting, but his expression was not lonely, because he could imagine that the dinner that was about to begin was destined to be wonderful. !
The king's private dining room was empty. Ludwig II looked at the oil paintings on the wall and the statues in the corner. The door of the library shelf had been opened, and many cultural relics were put out.
The head of the unearthed Medusa statue from the ancient Greek era was gently stroked in his hand. At that moment, the king seemed to have flown back to the world before BC, an era when humans were ignorant but full of charm!
There is a huge rectangular cavity on the floor in the center of the restaurant! When you stand on the edge and look down, you can see that just under the king's feet, there are countless chefs nervously preparing for the dinner on the ground floor.
A rectangular dining table faced the hollow in the ceiling. The white tablecloth was already filled with exquisite delicacies. When the chef put down the last dish, he gently shook the bell. The mechanical transmission device under the table, I immediately started working.
Amidst the clicking sounds of gears, the dining table, the chairs around the dining table, and a large piece of solid wood flooring at the bottom slowly rose up.
From Ludwig II's perspective, the banquet table was raised little by little from the ground, and finally the edge of the floor was embedded tightly into the cavity of the restaurant.
This exquisite device was designed by Ludwig II specially ordered by engineers. The first floor is the chef's studio, and the second floor is the restaurant where he enjoys delicious food alone.
After the chef prepared the dinner on the first floor, he used a special transmission device to raise the dining table to the second floor. This way, Ludwig II did not have to meet and talk to anyone who was serving him. He was the only one in the entire restaurant, where he was most free. Comfortable relaxation area and banquet area.
"Oh! My dear Sun King Louis, I hope you will be satisfied with today's banquet!"
"My beloved Aeschylus! Welcome! I have prepared the best olive oil for you. Use it to dip the crispy French bread. It must be a unique enjoyment! Don't you just love this bite? ?”
"Prometheus! Great God! I praise you! Thank you for bringing fire to the world. Can you let me take a look? How did you steal it from the sun god Apollo at that time? For tinder, did you use reed stalks or fennel stalks?”
"Who are you? Why did I see you for the first time? Who did you come with? Odysseus? You said your name was Odysseus... Oh God! Could it be my old friend He Is the horse here too?”
"It's really you, my old friend! I haven't seen you for half a year, dear Homer!"
…
In the dark restaurant, Ludwig II had colorful expressions on his face. He kept walking around the dining table, meeting and chatting with the guests one after another, and respectfully invited them to sit down and enjoy the delicious food.
I saw him pacing back and forth around the table, sometimes pulling out a chair to ask guests to sit down, and then pushing it back respectfully, sometimes pouring the red wine in his hand into the empty wine glass on the table...
The king showed no pretense at all. He actually stretched out his knife and fork to serve these guests, including tender veal, top-quality foie gras, olive oil and saffron sauce, and crispy buns dipped in them. The tender roast goose was cut into even slices and placed on each guest's white plate...
The king and his friends were very familiar with each other. They had dinner together more than once. They talked about poetry, songs, and the development of literature and art. Their wise brains came together and burst out with the light of art!
Ludwig II felt like a fish in water here, his whole body and mind had been devoted to this banquet, and you could even see the extremely proud light on his face.
However, if Xiao Letian could see this scene in person, he would probably be so frightened that the hairs all over his body would stand on end!
Because there was only Ludwig II in the entire restaurant at the moment, and the guests he talked about did not actually exist at all!
Louis XIV, the Sun King of France? Aeschylus, the most famous tragedian of ancient Greece? The mythical fire thief Prometheus?
And Odysseus, the protagonist in The Odyssey, Homer himself, the creator of Homer’s epic poem? Characters that once existed in the human world and were completely imaginary are actually gathered in the restaurant of Hohenschwangau Castle at this moment!
Ludwig II was lonely because he was alone at the moment, but Ludwig II was not lonely because his spiritual world was full of friends.
The atmosphere of the cocktail party became more and more weird and terrifying. Ludwig II drank glass after glass of wine. He often played multiple roles by himself. At one time, he used his own tone to ask Homer about the legendary Mythical stories, and then turned around and used Homer’s tone to answer it for myself!
After a while, he transformed into Prometheus, the fire thief. He stood on the chair impassionedly and told the guests how he stole fire from the sun god Apollo!
He even held the fork as if it were a stolen fire fennel stalk. With exaggerated movements, he stole the blazing fire from under the burning wheel of Apollo, the sun god, and then hid it in his arms and sent it to the world!
The next second, he transformed into the protagonist King Odysseus in Odyssey! He introduced in detail how the Trojan horse was built! And when he was wandering home, he saw how beautiful the goddesses on that island were, and they almost stayed there forever.
Ludwig II's own banquet will continue forever, and no one in the entire Hohenschwangau can approach his restaurant. In the cold mountain wind, there is only the burning flame of a madman's heart!
But the chief of the palace guard on duty in the hall looked coldly at the flickering windows of the restaurant. He sighed, "Send someone to deliver a message to the prince... Our king is hosting a great guest again today!"
The guard behind the captain of the guard turned and left. After a while, the ticking sound of the telegraph machine came from the telegraph room of Hohenschwangau Castle. The scenes of today's banquet were immediately transmitted to Munich.
