Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1285 Land and Sea

In June 1801, Portugal signed the Treaty of Badajoz with France and Spain.

Also on the last day of this month, Cardinal Caprara came to Paris to replace the captive Pope's Secretary of State and become the official Pope's ambassador.

The man was taken away after arriving in France. Caprara received the invitation and drove from Paris to Rambouillet for a dinner, but was attacked while passing through the forest.

At that time, there were many officers hunting in the forest, so the defense was lax. When the ambassador's carriage was found, there was no one in it, and a living person disappeared in broad daylight.

Olivenza is an inland city, famous for producing tangerines. After occupying the place, Godoy picked a batch of fine oranges for the Queen of Spain, so the Portuguese war was also called the Orange War.

The Queen of Spain had oranges, and of course Napoleon also had them, just as Spain occupied Olivenza and France occupied a colony in America.In the original peace treaty, French commercial privileges were granted and British ships were not allowed to dock at Portuguese ports. Later, when the peace treaty was formally signed, it was changed to allow British ships with trade charters to dock.

This kind of trade license is issued by the treasury, and it costs 1000 francs. It is also very troublesome to issue such a license, but it is much better than confiscating goods worth 50 at a time.

In Godoy's memorial to the Queen of Spain, he stated his determination to occupy Lisbon, but this kind of words are just words. He did not succeed in attacking Lisbon from the sea, let alone Lisbon, which is inland and facing the sea, all the way to attack the city. stronghold.Napoleon respected men who did not easily change their banners, and also respected powerful opponents. British trade was restricted but not banned, which is good news in misfortune.

He was in a good mood for a few days. Not only did he watch the swans with Georgiana, but he also chatted with his family and friends while eating oranges in the garden. However, the capture of the Pope's envoy made him feel extremely bad all of a sudden.

Food is just a guess of Georgiana, and there may be other complicated political issues in it. All in all, the relaxed and joyful atmosphere in the castle turned sharply with the mood of "His Majesty the Emperor". She really felt the "horrible country" Louis just said "What a concept.

"Who did it! I don't want to guess! Give me the result! What are you still doing here! Go out and investigate for me!"

She had just returned to the castle, and she heard the roar of a lion from a long distance away. There are underground passages in Rambouillet Castle, leading to public facilities such as stables and kitchens. The sound came from an underground passage. She knows the time well. left.

The last time Leon Kuhl grabbed her to fight the fire, they knew that such a weird sabotage must not be done by ordinary people. This time, there were many suspects who would kidnap the special envoy, and she couldn't afford to sacrifice herself.

There is no Madonna who cheated and got divorced in this world, nor does she have the heart to save the world like Albus, this is just a dream.

The Marble Hall used to be the guardhouse of the medieval fortress. The walls and floors are geometric marble, and the ceiling is coffered. Now it is the office of the staff.

Except for a round marble table in the middle, they used all the equipment for marching. Although there were a lot of things, they were not messy. When Georgiana brought Sophie in, all the male soldiers who worked were stunned.

"Where's the map of Europe?" Georgiana said, smiling at them.

An officer in his 40s came up next to the small Georgiana, whose figure was like a contrast between a giant and a dwarf.

"Who are you?" said Georgiana in a sweet voice.

"Chief of Staff Louis-Alexander Berthier," replied the officer respectfully.

Perhaps because she was used to Napoleon's monster-like reaction speed, she felt that Berthier's reaction was a bit slow, but she continued to ask sweetly, "Do you know where Baden is?"

"This way please." He led her to a map hanging on the wall, then pointed to a place and said, "This is Baden."

The military map and the civilian map are completely different concepts. All she saw was the densely packed markings, and Baden was very close to Prussia. Obviously, Stephanie's marriage had both military and political purposes.

This is indeed not something that can be solved by elopement as Louis thought.

Sophie tugged at Georgiana's sleeve.

"Your Excellency is the Commander of the Reserve Corps." Sophie lowered her voice and said with a look of panic.

"Oh, really." Seeing Sophie's reaction, Georgiana smiled. She was still sleeping with the First Consul, so there was no fuss about it.

Then she turned to look at the officer who called himself "Chief of Staff" and said, "Thank you for your help, General."

"You're welcome..." Berthier stared blankly at Georgiana's outstretched hand.

"Can't you kiss hands?" asked Georgiana.

Berthier glanced at the other male soldiers around him, and then kissed the back of Georgiana's hand slightly strangely.

"Do you have a map of Italy here?"

"Which area do you want?"

"All." She smiled and said, "When you find it, send it to the council suite."

Then she took Sophie away, and she hadn't gone far when she heard discussions coming from the marble hall.

They spoke quickly, and they couldn't hear it very clearly through the door, but there were no words like "bitch", which should be considered a good evaluation.

So she relieved herself and went elsewhere.

====================================================================== ================
After walking around with the tour group, Conseil found nothing.

Few people came to Rambouillet for tourism. He found a place where no one was around, and just about to take out his wand to cast a spell, when the dust like gold powder in the sun condensed into the figure of a girl.

She waved at him, as if gesturing for him to follow. Conseil looked left and right to see if there was no one there, and then followed the dusty girl.

She led him through the garden, and came to a house covered with shells of all kinds.

The walls here are covered with shells, the floor is made of wood, there is a crystal lamp, and a row of green sofas are placed against the wall.

"What did you bring me here for?" Conseil asked the surroundings, but the dust girl had disappeared.

Conseil found a chair and sat down, looked around, thought for a while, and took out the crystal ball.

"Snape!"

Not long after, the stinky face of Severus Snape appeared in the crystal ball "Find a clue?"

"I was led into a room full of shells, do you know what that means?"

Severus' eyes widened.

"Shell Cottage," Severus said after a moment, "that's where she used to live when she was a child."

"So we're headed in the right direction?"

"Rambouillet by the sea?"

"No, it's in the southwest suburbs of Paris, inland."

"We're going to find a place by the sea." Severus said. "We played a similar game in Venice before, and she left a clue and asked me to find her."

"You two are really romantic." Gonceil teased. "I think she left you a clue to get rid of Napoleon."

Severus smiled.

"Where did you go in Venice?"

"Many...Ghana weddings," Severus said suddenly.

"what?"

"An oil painting, The Wedding at Ghana, there is one in the Church of Our Lady of the Ancon, and there is also one in the Louvre. This is the passage to that world."

"I thought what we were looking for was a mirror."

Severus paced the other end, thinking.

"What the mirror reflects is human desire." Severus said, "What the painting depicts is neither religious nor realistic..."

"It's the happy life that painters long for." Gonceil continued Severus's words, "Now I suddenly feel that the people in the Louvre are very cruel. They actually let Mona Lisa watch other people's weddings."

"what?"

"Have you ever been to someone else's wedding?"

"Do you think someone will invite me to their wedding?"

Conseil shrugged: "I attended, and there was a bridesmaid standing in the distance, looking at my brother and sister-in-law's wedding, looking very envious, so I kissed her, but she slapped me in the face."

"That's what you deserve."

"Look, you're still missing the point. The point is the mood of Mona Lisa. She doesn't even intend to smile, but she forces a smile. I think her smile is unnatural. She longs for happiness, but no one gives it to her. We can only watch other people's weddings, let's save that poor girl." Gong Saiyihao said angrily.

"Thank you, Leroy."

"Call me Goncey, Snape."

"You can call me Severus, too."

"Will your salary be doubled if I say so?"

"Do not."

"Then let's be more polite, boss, what am I going to do next?"

"You go to Venice first, I have someone I know."

"Where can I find him?"

"Cafe de Flore, there's a waitress there, her daughter used to be our tour guide, but she probably doesn't remember us." Severus said. "Her boyfriend seems to be a little bit better."

"no problem."

"Thank you again, Conseil."

"Be strong, Snape, we still have a princess waiting for us to save." Goncei put the crystal ball back in his pocket, sighed, and whispered, "Maybe I should find a human girl to marry, half-breed Veela I can't stand it."

With that, he disapparated with his suitcase.
