Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1852 "Cracked Barrel"

The formation of a man's personality is closely related to women. When he was young, he was a mother, and when he grew up, he would be a wife, and he might have a daughter in the future. It was his mother Letizia who supported Napoleon behind him during the Battle of Toulon , it would have been Josephine when he had a family.

Bonaparte did make a command error in the Battle of Marengo. Fortunately, a cavalry charged at a critical moment of the battle, turning the defeat into victory. In the end, the Austrians who took off their uniforms and became prisoners became Austrians.

Kindness is the power of the victor. After winning the victory, Bonaparte looked at the corpses all over the battlefield and wrote to the Austrian emperor, hoping for peace talks.If he had lost at that time, the content of the letter would have been changed to something else.

It was a war of betting on the fate of the country. If it weren't for this victory, Napoleon Bonaparte would not be able to force Franz II to return the national debt owed to Belgium at par.

If the war is lost, the national debt issued by the country will become waste paper. This is a rule that many people know. The Belgians never thought that the money they borrowed would be returned one day, which gave Talleyrand a chance to make a fortune.

This move not only bought people's hearts, but also caused Austria to lose a lot of money after the defeat, making it unable to form an army in a short time.

Unless the Austrians teach their subjects, the scrap of paper they hold is money.

During the first Italian war, Bonaparte did not send all the wealth back to the country, but handed over the looted proceeds to a banker he believed to be trustworthy under a pseudonym, and shifted the responsibility to others. It is these "businesses" that he manages.

If Napoleon and Josephine divorced, would Eugene still be trustworthy?He will never give his secret treasury to someone who cannot be trusted, so this is a problem-he will not divorce Josephine for the sake of the children, unless Eugene feels that the divorce will bring her The benefits outweigh the benefits of barely staying married.

Josephine did not lose the support of the children, but the world was difficult and dangerous. Pomona learned the lesson. She mercifully saved Wormtail who fell in the snow. Not only did she not get his gratitude, but she was like a farmer who saved a snake Like being bitten.A woman who has lost her child is definitely the most dangerous creature in the world. Maternal love is gentle, but women in ancient Rome would kill babies who were not strong enough.

Women are terrible when they are vicious, just like Princess Medea, the Gospel not only forbids cannibalism, but also forbids infanticide. Missionaries persevere and persist in emphasizing the sanctity of life and opposing infanticide in pagan culture .

Cicero justified infanticide by citing the clause in the Law of the Twelve Tables that "crippled infants shall be killed", and to the Romans "what problem do we have in drowning children born weak and deformed?"

Christians equate infanticide with murder, and "The Didaches of the Twelve Apostles" also clearly exhorts "you shall not kill infants". Devil's story too.

Even if it wasn't intentional like Theodora's, Pomona could still be out of order with the baby, and Molly lost Fred, but she had several other children, and they surrounded her. Made her feel better.

The moment they put on the uniform, part of the attributes of the soldiers as sons of man seemed to disappear, and they became numbers, and became a part of others' military achievements of "killing 3000 enemies", or "commanding 2 people". part of it.

The only thing that can identify them is the "dog tag", but that is something that only existed in the 20th century. The soldiers in the past didn't have it. He will be buried as "Anonymous".

Sometimes due to fierce battles and insufficient manpower, nearby farmers would clean up the battlefield. A farmer was the first to find the body of Bold Charlie and found the huge yellow diamond on the Duke. However, the farmer was ignorant and sold the yellow diamond as glass. Without this identification, thanks to the slow decomposition of his body, otherwise his subordinates would not be able to find him so quickly by recognizing his face in the mountain of corpses.

Identifying dead bodies is also part of the police work. Jack the Ripper once deliberately destroyed the face of the deceased. Some people think that he wanted to destroy the face of the deceased, making it more difficult to detect.

People sometimes have an unstoppable desire to destroy. Bonaparte is a builder and a destroyer at the same time. He is not far from going crazy.But he was so self-aware that he wrote in his diary that he knew he was going crazy.Others may not necessarily have such self-knowledge. In the future shown by the crystal ball, the Arc de Triomphe was destroyed, and below the Arc de Triomphe was the Monument to the Unknown Heroes.

Every country has its own symbols of inviolability, and it is because of inviolability that churches serve as sanctuaries.

It is sacrilege when soldiers dare to break into churches to vandalize and loot.

It is precisely because the church has the attribute of a shelter that the church has become a field hospital.

Even from the plane, the pilots on the bombing mission could still see the church. During the bombing of London, the buildings near St. Paul's Church were bombed, but the church itself was safe.

Perhaps the wounded soldier will fall in love with the nun who takes care of him, but he cannot propose to her.

Young man, she is God's bride, and whatever love burns in your heart, marry an earthly woman.

It was the nuns who crossed that line and made the profession of nurses decent. In the past, widows and male doctors took care of soldiers. Some people even thought that nurses and soldiers were a perfect match.

Because the coach, Duke Charles, was killed and the troops fell into a state of undisciplined laissez-faire, Rome fell into catastrophe. Many buildings that were built during the Renaissance were destroyed, including churches.

It is very disrespectful to demolish other people's temples and monasteries, let alone physically harm their clergy.

Earthly kings and emperors ordered monks and other clergy to return to secular life, destroy holy images, and confiscate property, all of which can be classified as "barbaric" behaviors.

St. Louis took off the luxurious clothes that belonged to the king, put on a linen robe, and the behavior of welcoming the crown of thorns can actually be included in the biography of the apostles. Although he was not a disciple of Jesus, his behavior has a missionary effect.

But the kings of Europe called him a "perfect monster". There is no flawless person in this world. A saint sometimes makes people around him feel uncomfortable, and he makes people around him feel that the creator has left mistakes on him.

He was very happy at first, but someone came out and told him that you are guilty of doing this. The vicinity of Saint-Jacques used to be a slaughterhouse. Fortunately, there was a shortage of supplies in the Middle Ages. It is not as easy to eat meat as it is now. No one jumps out and accuses it of sin. Yes, but this place was once a land soaked in blood.

The tower is the starting point of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Composte, to the northeast of which was long ago the Temple and Temple Street, where the Knights Templar stood.The pilgrimage to Santiago de Compost is not to Jerusalem, but to a small city in Spain, where people go to commemorate the Arab invasion.

That's why Blaise Pascal's sculpture stands out here.

When talking about science and theology, many people always put them in opposite positions.

Science is endless, according to scientific eugenics theory, children born with disabilities should be "screened" out, and bell ringers like Quasimodo should not be alive.

The archdeacon adopted him, whether it was out of faith or to have an obedient servant, he gave Quasimodo a chance to live, and lived "unstained" on the tower.

When people curse a person, they will say that he will go to hell, but Machiavelli said that you are not even qualified to go to hell, and your soul can only be in Limbo hell.

On this level, there are unsound babies and respected heretics, which is very similar to Hogwarts. Have those pagan sages ever taught the souls of these unsound babies?
For some, maybe hell is more suitable because hell is more mundane.

Heaven is too high to be reached, no matter how tall a tower is built, it will not be able to reach it, and even like the Tower of Babel, it will arouse the wrath of God and bring down disasters.

"Why did you call me here?" Severus asked, looking at Pascal's sculpture.

No one answered. In fact, this question existed in the Richelieu Library. The designer who designed the oval hall was also named Pascal.

He took out the wine knife he obtained from the pneumatic transmission system, it is not as sharp as the pharaoh's dagger, it can still penetrate the human body after thousands of years, but when it pierces the cork, there will still be red liquid outflow...

Severus looked around, there were many trees in this park.

There are a lot of good wines in that bunker that have corks made of solid wood, whereas many cheap wine corks are now made of chipped wood chips.As the "patron saint" of wine, this cork is made of oak, Portugal and Spain are the world's largest cork producing countries, and this oak is not an ordinary oak, it is a kind of cork oak, which has two layers of trees Bark, the outer bark is peeled off, the inner bark still has vitality, which does not affect the survival of the tree, but unlike other trees, it can live for thousands of years, it can only live to about 170 years old.

It is not immortal, or it has the same longevity as the sky.

He found one in the bushes and poked it in with the corkscrew, and a fountain of blood gushed out.

"Let's bet on God's existence. Let's evaluate the two scenarios: If you win, you gain everything; if you lose, you lose nothing. So you don't have to hesitate to bet on God's existence." Go!" said a man.

"I won't play with you." A high-ranking voice said.

"You do not dare?"

"If there is a God, he is infinitely inconceivable; since he has neither parts nor limits, he has nothing to do with us. It is therefore impossible for us to know what he is, or whether he exists or not. .In that case, who would dare to set about solving this problem? It cannot be us, we have nothing to do with him, and it is the heart that feels God, not the intellect: God is felt by the heart, not by the intellect. Yeah, if you're in a game like that and you're still betting on God not being there, you're acting out of your mind."

"You say I'm not rational?"

"There are too many religions in this world, and the consequences of believing in the wrong gods may be very serious."

The others giggled "Look, our great genius is a coward."

"What harm does it do you to be on this side?" said the voice that had been high above.

"When the bets are finite and the winnings are infinite, our propositions have infinite power. This is provable; and, if any truth is possible to man, it is truth."

"You want to gain strength? Be a pious, faithful, humble, grateful, kind, true and reliable friend. You will never fall into harmful pleasures, into honor, into pleasures, I can tell you, You will win this life for it."

"Are you betting 'Heads' or 'Tails'?" said another.

"Don't you want wine?"

Severus looked up to see that it was Albus Dumbledore again.

"why……"

"Look at this tower." Dumbledore looked up at the tower behind him. "Do you think it's tall enough?"

"That joke isn't funny," Severus said through gritted teeth.

"You may have misunderstood me." Dumbledore turned to look at Severus, "I'm talking about an experiment, have you heard of Pascal's broken barrel experiment?"

"You mean to prove pressure with wine and water?" Severus asked.

"That's an interesting experiment. As long as you stand high enough, even a slight pressure can make a large wooden barrel pop open from the inside." Dumbledore said, "You should collect the wine."

Severus froze for a moment.

"Empty your container of Phoenix tears, and you'll have it," said Albus.

"I have another empty container..."

"Do it," Albus ordered.

Severus endured it for a while, and as Dumbledore said, he poured the artificial phoenix tears he had collected on the ground. The red liquid that had been drying up began to become abundant again, and Severus quickly poured it out with a water bottle. I continued.

"They were craving wine that day," said Dumbledore in a mild tone, "but they had only water."

"What?" Severus asked confused.

"You know about the wedding in Ghana? They went to the wedding, but there was no wine."

Severus was still puzzled.

"I'm talking about the French, idiots. They want to drink, but they don't want to brew. You can't make something out of nothing, and they eat what they plant."

Severus didn't answer.

"Pascal had a daughter who had a lacrimal fistula which could only be cured by kissing the thorns in the crown of thorns."

"You want me to be superstitious?" Severus said in disbelief.

"We cry because we feel pain," said Albus softly. "How can a thorn that causes pain stop tears?"

"I……"

"Wizards in the East think that it is unethical to meet the right people and not teach them, and it is contemptuous and revealing the world's most precious treasures to pass on to the wrong people. Have you ever thought about what would happen to you if the Dark Lord did not return to the wizarding world?" ?" Dumbledore asked.

Severus didn't answer.

"There are many little wizards, like you or Harry and the Dark Lord, who live in another world for various reasons. If you choose to close the door, there will be many silent people, just like the student you just accepted , that would be a sad story."

"But they carry toxic thoughts," Severus said.

"In their day the priests were not to be feared. Formerly they were the ones who specialized in the sciences, and since this expertise has flowed into the hands of non-religious people, they have lost their power."

"Oh." Severus grinned tartly. "You quote famous people too? I thought it was your talent to say nice things."

"When they're out of power and no one believes in witchcraft, I don't think it's disrespectful and revealing to teach you knowledge, Severus, and I don't entrust you with this task because I have no choice but because I trust you."

Severus stared at him.

"I hope what I have learned is useful." Dumbledore said, "Using my talents to change the world into what I want is also a desire. I think this goal can be achieved with him."

"Until Arianna's death put you off?" Severus asked.

"No." Albus looked at Severus helplessly.

"So how have you changed?" Severus asked.

"I want to be happy." Dumbledore had an extra pair of woolen socks in his hands. "As you all commented on me behind my back, I'm not a wise man, just an old fool."

"You saw the hardships, so you chose to give up?"

"That would cost me more than I already paid." Dumbledore put down his wool socks and looked at Severus. "So I've lost my way."

"You betrayed him," Severus said bitterly.

"I thought you were sensible enough," said Dumbledore.

"Damn Muggles, I hate them!"

"Do you hate them, or is it because you don't think she loves you?" said Dumbledore.

"Don't talk like that!" Severus said with red eyes.

"Jealous." Dumbledore said, "Men will also be jealous and do irrational things. During negotiations, everyone else is taken away, and he is the only one who negotiates with a group of enemies, when he is alone and helpless... ..."

"I don't want to hear it!" Severus yelled "I don't need you to remind me."

"Jealousy and jealousy." Dumbledore said peacefully, "I have been tricked by Fudge and Mr. Malfoy a lot, remember how it was written in the newspaper?"

Severus gritted his teeth.

"Be an example to your godson." Dumbledore said, "What to do when faced with rumors. One day he will be hurt by rumors. Only Harry Potter can help him. No matter what, he is the one." Part of the plan, although he himself does not know it."

The stones on the ground floated up, as if the earth was trembling.

"This is the price you pay for lying." Dumbledore smiled contemptuously, "always, it's really touching."

Everything tangible hit Albus, forming a humanoid "sculpture" on the ground.

But it took only two seconds to form and turned into powder.

After he was released, he seemed to have lost all his strength and knelt down on the ground.

"Life is unfair." He looked up at the sky, "Why do you still treat me like that after I've admitted it."

"Because...the world doesn't leave room for good people." Lucius Malfoy said, "That's why we choose to be bad people."

Severus looked at him.

"Get up, Godfather." Lucius stretched out the snake-headed cane, "Remember to be graceful at all times."

Severus stared into his gray-blue eyes and got up himself.

Lucius didn't care, and reached out to pick a rose, and the pink rose turned white at this moment.

"It does look like Blanche Flor, do you know who she is?"

"Why do people keep asking me questions today?" Severus said grumpily.

"She's a character from Arthurian Legend." Lucius touched the rose, and it changed shape. "Okay, it's like this."

Severus looked at the rose.

"Which smells better, this scent or Lily?" Lucius asked.

"It's green," Severus said.

"Who told you that you must have red flowers with green leaves." Lucius gave the rose to Severus "for you."

"I'm not a woman."

"Rose can also be given to knights." Lucius pinned the rose on Severus's black coat. "You look much handsomer."

The ugly potions master glared at the classically beautiful platinum nobleman.

"Let me ask you a question, do you regret being a Slytherin?"

Severus bared his yellow teeth and smiled wickedly.

"always."

He said.

Lucius smiled hypocritically, then pointed to the jug with the red juice with his cane, "What's this for?"

"Liquid," Severus said, "for that world."

"Don't you want wine?" Lucius asked in surprise.

Severus ignored him.

"I'm thinking of the assembly signal." Severus said, looking at the sky. "Like the Dark Lord and Grindelwald."

"Then you'd better come up with something cooler." Lucius imitated the young man's tone and said, "Remember to conform to the style of Slytherin, otherwise I'm afraid they won't come, the youngest dean ever."
