Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1320 Two Way Book

The last governor of Venice was named Ludovico Manin, but this man was not the chief culprit who led Venice to destruction.

Corkyra is located between Greece and Italy and is known as the gateway to Venice. In Homer's epic "Odyssey", this is where Jason and Medea spent their wedding night on their way to get the golden fleece.

When Napoleon attacked Venice, he had recovered the island of Corsica. General Gianti led four battalions of infantry and several companies of artillery to Corfu in a squadron composed of several Venetian warships. These warships were allied with Napoleon. provided by the family.

General Gianti obtained the real key to Venice after occupying Corfu Island. Napoleon issued an ultimatum at this time. The Governor announced unconditional surrender. France and Austria signed the Treaty of Cap Formio, and the two countries were divided The whole territory of the old republic, the urban part was given to Austria, and the territory of Venice on the mainland was occupied by France, with the Adige River as the border between the two countries.

The new owner of the city is also called Dandolo, but not Enrico Dandolo, but a Jewish lawyer.He was more servile to Napoleon than to the Austrians, but the general public didn't think so.

After being occupied by France, the customs of Italy began to change. Young people who loved to wear robes began to wear military uniforms. It is to take out tin toy soldiers and imitate military actions in the game.

In the old comedies, the Italians were played as buffoons, and the ending was often a heroic and rude German. They often gave the Italians a few sticks as the end of the show amidst warm applause.

After Napoleon appeared, they couldn't bear this kind of drama anymore. In order to please the audience, the show ended with the Italians who drove the foreigners away in order to defend their honor and rights.

Napoleon was a general who stood on the opposite side of Italy, but it was because of him that Italian national consciousness was formed, and women also rejected those men who deliberately pretended to be weak and courteous in order to please them with contempt.

Therefore, except for foreign women, Italian local women hardly pay attention to the sweet words of Italian men.

After asking Severus about the purpose of finding the descendants of the Dandolo family, Gianluca began to search in the manuscripts in his collection, and finally found a useful document. He took that document to meet another Customers who organize data.

"This is the two-way book." Gianluca put the manuscript on a pile of Napoleonic war information.

"What was it about?" Severus asked.

"The road for the dead to go to the underworld is not only a waterway, but also a land route. The blue one is the waterway, and the black one is the land route." Gianluca pointed to the road on the document and said, "The solar ship arrives at the underworld along the waterway every day. Few people know about the overland route."

"I want to know how to get there," Severus said dryly.

"We're going back to Paris tonight to see if the old entrance works?" Conseil asked.

"That's why I told you about the overland route. Few people know and there are no guards," said Gianluca. "Would you like to hear?"

Gonseil and Severus watched him together.

"The Egyptians would pour water on the stele, then collect the 'holy water' and apply it to the sick to achieve healing. You can pour water on the wedding in Ghana, then collect the water and apply it to yourself. , so you can enter another world," Gianluca said.

"Aren't you afraid that the painting will be ruined?" Severus asked.

"Monica will be distressed, but do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to draw?" Gianluca said.

His study room is full of mechanical manuscripts, not a single painting.

"Okay," Severus said, "let's try the method we've used before, and if it doesn't work, we'll use the method you said."

"Did Napoleon have a good time in Italy?" asked Conseil, rubbing the place where he had been beaten.

"His wife went to Italy with him," Gianluca said. "He felt sorry for Beauharne, Josephine's husband."

"Pity him for taking his wife," said Conseil with a sneer.

"Boarne was dead at that time," Gianluca said, "he married a widow and protected his two children, and Josephine betrayed him. If it were you, when you went out to find your wife and Other men are fine, will you forgive her?"

Severus put down the papers in his hands.

"Some people think that Napoleon was a tyrant, and some people believed that Napoleon was loyal and even gave their lives. Which one is your wife?" Gianluca asked Severus.

Severus didn't answer him.

"I think you have to be mentally prepared. Even if you go to save her, she won't come back with you. You said that there was a condition for you. How about accepting that? At least you can have one." Zhan Luca said.

"You want to manipulate me?" Severus asked Gianluca.

"No, Napoleon is a master at manipulating people." Gianluca said, "He despises lawyers, but Dandolo, a lawyer, is loyal to him. Before thinking about attacking, I think you should do your defense first, Mr. Smith."

"Thank you." Severus said sincerely.

"Are you going with us?" asked Conseil.

"Only a fool would mess with that devil. He once slept for half an hour wrapped in a cloak and marched for 24 hours. Do you think this is something a human can do?" Gianluca asked.

"You want to frighten us off?" asked Conseil.

"The Austrians were frightened by him, but the British were not. I think it was because the management of public opinion was very strict at that time, and the ignorant were fearless." Gianluca said.

"I am French," said Conseil.

"Have you read the history of 'Muggles' in detail 200 years ago?" Gianluca asked.

Conseil said nothing.

"European monarchs were terrified of Napoleon instigating their subjects, and spent a great deal of energy demonizing him, but he could control them by changing sides, or by giving one side a tactical advantage over the other, and by keeping close to him It is seldom the cooperation of equals, what he demands is unconditional obedience and complete support, your wife is an English woman, and the British were involved in many things during his expedition to Italy... Is your wife a brave man ?" Gianluca asked Severus.

"She dared to fight a real giant," Severus said.

"The little one?" asked Conseil.

Severus laughed. "That's the magic of Hufflepuff, sometimes timid as a mouse, sometimes astonishingly bold."

"What did she use to fight the giant?" asked Conseil.

"Devil's net."

Conseil whistled.

"You may be facing a crazy world. It is useless to study these materials. Go to sleep, gentlemen." Gianluca said, "Today may be your last chance to sleep peacefully."
