Chapter 107

Chapter 107

The next day, as promised, I headed to Paris, France.

The last time I came, I couldn't see the Muse d'Orsay properly, so I wanted to stop by again, but first, I wanted to see Henry Marceau's collection.

Raphael's [Small Cowper Madonna] is in Henry Marceau's personal collection, so it will be hard to see it if I miss this opportunity.

"Do you really have to go?"

Grandpa didn't sleep on the plane for some reason and showed signs of displeasure.

How about we go to Orsay? You werent able to properly see it last time, right?

Grandpa doesnt seem to want to go to Henry Marceaus place.

"It's important to get movie props, grandpa. Then will grandpa not come with me. Don't you want to see Raphael's painting?"

","

Even grandpa cant say anything when Raphaels name was bought.

Grandpa coughs and feigns ignorance.

About an hour later, there was an announcement that we would arrive in Paris soon.

I wrapped the snack given by the airplane staff and filled it into my mouth.

When I came out of the airport, Arsene Musso, Marceau's secretary, was waiting for us at the airport.

Welcome to Paris."

"Hello,"

The car Arsene brought was light brown and looked like it was made of wood, unlike the other cars.

"Oh,"

Grandpa and Uncle Bang also looked at the car curiously.

When I touched it, it felt like it was not wood.

It's not like general paint, while the color and color pattern are excellent no matter what type of paint is used.

The pattern, texture, and workmanship of this wide range of paintings are also great.

"I've never seen a model like this before."

"The vehicle was painted by El patron himself."

Arsene answered Uncle Bang's question with a smile.

He's a really great Artist.

"Did Director Nolan arrive?"

"I was informed that he will arrive tomorrow evening."

It seems that things in England have not been solved yet.

Nolan and his staff, who are working together on a number of things related to this year's release and The Strange Castle, also felt great.

And this,

Arsene handed over an envelope.

The envelope, embroidered with gold leaf, was sealed with wax.

Seeing the wax hardened like a lily, seemed like the symbol Marceau family

"Was he from a royal family?"

The lily is a crest used by the French royal family for a long time.

"That's right."

I wondered why Henry Marceau's personality was like that, but now I found the answer.

It seems to be an inherited personality.

Arsene opened the envelope with a knife.

It was an invitation that begins with the elegant phrase,

"We invite you to see Marceau street."

I don't think Marceau wrote it.

There is a postscript attached in the last line.

I think he wrote this himself.

Come if you don't have anywhere to go.

I nodded and put the invitation in the envelope.

"Where can I take you?

There's an accommodation Director Nolan booked for us. we'll go there."

Okay."

Uncle Bang opened his smartphone and told me the hotel address that Nolan Productions booked.

The car sent by Henry Marceau was very comfortable because it canceled all the outside noise and it did not shake even on a small bump.

"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Thank you."

At what time shall I come to pick you up?"

When I looked at grandpa and uncle Bang alternately asking for answers, Uncle Bang stepped up and answered instead.

"It would be rude to go too early. Can I ask you to pick us up around ten?

"I will."

"Please give my greetings to Marceau, too.

Yes.

"It's not good to look at your phone before you go to bed."

"That's right."

If I look it up, I become curious about that.

Time flies when you surf the internet without any objective.

The Internet is really scary.

I did find one thing though.

"What?"

"Why was Vincent sick?"

Yesterday, I searched for a famous painting and found a post called "Some Things That made life of Vincent Van Gogh hard."

I knew from grandpa that I got lead poisoning and got sick.

When I read the article, it was definitely painful.

They said the epilepsy drug caused more damage.

"What do you mean?"

"Digoxin? It contained a substance that suppresses seizures, which made his heart beat violently and increased his anxiety."

"Hmm. Certainly, considering the medical level at that time, they could have prescribed it wrong."

In the early 20th century, my grandfather gave morphine to a person who caught a cold.

What's morphine, grandpa?"

It's a drug.

Do they give drugs to someone who's sick?

I think so. Its said that it calms them.

It is a prescription that does not make patients comfortable but makes people around them comfortable.

"And you said it was because of wine, right grandpa?

A story about lead poisoning.

"I did."

"I think it was because of absinthe."

In fact, when I drank absinthe, my mind became clear for no apparent reason.

I drank a lot even though I knew it was not good for my body because I felt strange when I drank it continuously.

"In fact, if you drink absinthe, the color around you feels brighter. Maybe because of that,.

Grandpa looked at me with a happy smile on his face.

"It was revealed in 1990, that long-term use of terpene and tuzon substances in absinthe can destroy the optic nerve."

"Then Vincent should have suffered from absinthe.

I shook my head.

Terpene is not a substance that lasts long. If you're going to have a problem with terpene in absinthe, you have to eat more than 2g to get a side effect.

2g is a very small amount?

"Yes. But 1 liter of absinthe contained 6 milligrams of terpene."

I have to drink 333 liters to have a problem in my body due to absinthe.

It is not a substance that remains in the body for a long time, so you should drink it in a short period of time.

Maybe my stomach will burst before that.

The hallucinations I felt were the stimulant effect of Absinthe.

Now, it contains a very small amount of stimulant ingredients compared to the ingredients in coffee.

For me and others, who were less exposed to stimulants at that time, it had a tremendous effect.

"So epilepsy that he inherited from his family lineage got worse because of eating lead-based sweeteners and paints along with the wrong medicine and alcohol."

Grandpa nodded his head.

I see. Theres another story about him like that."

Grandpa pretended as if he didnt know about it, but I think he already knew it.

He went with me as if he didnt know so that I could talk.

What is it?

Actually, the image of absinthe is inflated. It contains drug substances, so it cannot be imported, and now there are rumors that the drug substance has been removed.

Absinthe seems to be popular alcohol even in modern times.

Most of the bad rumors about absinthe spread in the 19th and 20th centuries were spread by winemakers."

Why grandpa?"

"The wine didn't sell well because people drank cheap and easy liquor to get drunk."

Certainly, I drank Absinthe because it was cheap and easy to get.

I found a drink that can easily get me drunk because I didnt have money.

Really.

I feel again how much effort and time it takes to know the hidden truth.

With what was revealed in 1990, even now, doubts about absinthe have not completely disappeared.
