Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1647 frogu0026fog (thirty-five)

The French are fond of running, so it should come as no surprise that Alejandro, who used to play for the school football team, scouts Parc Montsouris while running.

Judging from the satellite image, Montsouris Park is a piece of green space. However, except for the mental hospital that is not open to outsiders, the park is actually a flat-topped mountain. Inside the flat-topped mountain is hidden an underground palace, which consists of thousands of columns. Supported, under the vault is crystal clear, blue water.

This place is the Montsouris reservoir, which contains enough purified water to drink for a quarter of Parisians. The person responsible for designing this reservoir is Eugene Bergrand, who is also the designer of the Saint-Martin Canal Underground Museum. While Haussmann was designing the buildings on the ground, Bergrand was responsible for building aqueducts and reservoirs, bringing clear springs and river water into Paris, so as to free Parisians from the threat of cholera.

The huge underground system designed by Bergland became the main exhibit at the Paris International Exposition in 1867, and the scale, complexity and cost of the Montsouris Reservoir were the highest at the end of the 19th century. It was excavated in 1868 and took five years to complete, when Napoleon III's empire was already in turmoil. Originally, Bergrand wanted to present this reservoir as a new exhibit to the guests participating in the World Expo. After the end of the Second Empire, it was abandoned. The third republic, which took over, continued to spread funds for the actual use of the reservoir. Of course, it also It's not quite as grand as Begrand's original design, but even the "rough" is enough to make people breathtaking.

Below the reservoir is the ancient Capucin quarry. The stone used to build Notre Dame de Paris was mined from this quarry. Both the quarry and the reservoir are open to the outside world. Alejandro went in to visit and the quarry There are display stands of stones from different strata in the field, such as the Montsouris Reservoir in the shape of the cathedral, which is also known as the "Water Storage Temple".

People like Paris, which is now glamorous, but they are very opposed to Ottoman, the reformer. Before the Franco-Prussian War, Napoleon III could continue to support Ottoman's transformation under pressure. After the Franco-Prussian War broke out, his team was disbanded by Napoleon III in 1870. But those projects continued in 1927, and the unique appearance of the center of Paris today and after receiving the plan is the result of Haussmann's transformation.

Theoretically, if the stone of Notre-Dame was quarried from Capucine, the fountain in front of Notre-Dame should also be a place.

However, some people say that the sculpture of Mr. Hui was originally a stone pillar in a shopping street. The stone for the statues and fountains was probably brought from Rome.

The Egyptian pyramids are now looking dilapidated, not all because of weathering. Since ancient times, people have removed the stones of the pyramids for the construction of contemporary buildings. When the authorities decided to expand the square in 1748, this sculpture was demolished together with many surrounding buildings. Yes, it was the time of the Austrian throne war, and Louis XV was doing major repairs and constructions in the city while fighting the war.

Shortly after the fountain was demolished, that is, around 1750, a bizarre child disappearance occurred in Paris. If the dissatisfaction and complaints of Parisians against Louis XV’s laziness and selfishness in the 1940s were still verbal and formal, the child disappearance Let the citizens embark on the road of rebellion.

A year before the events of the series, the War of the Austrian Crown ended in 1749. Although the sons of Parisian craftsmen are not like those nobles, they have a kingdom that needs them to inherit, but their parents still love them.

These kidnappers are so strange, they neither kidnap the sons of rich men for ransom, nor kidnap waifs, but they want to kidnap the sons of saddlers, shoemakers and shop workers. If they really want pure blood to treat lepers, The same is true for those who use little girls, but there are still a small number of girls who are kidnapped.

The "Holy Child" in the Holy Child Cemetery comes from a story in the Bible. One day, King Herod had a dream. He secretly summoned a doctor and asked when the savior would appear. Then he sent people to Bethlehem and asked them to search for the child carefully. , If you find it, report it. The magi went, and afterwards they saw a star guiding them ahead, and they did not stop until the stables.

At this time, the magi saw a newborn child whose father, Joseph, was a carpenter. The magi gave him a lot of gold, frankincense, and myrrh as gifts.

On the way back, the magi dreamed that they would not go back to see King Herod, but Joseph dreamed that he would take his child and his wife and flee to Egypt and live there. Joseph got up overnight, took the child and his mother Rush to Egypt.

There was also a man named Moses in ancient Egypt. At that time, Pharaoh ordered to the midwives that as long as the mother gave birth to a boy, she would be executed, and the girl would live. After giving birth to him, Moses' mother put him in a basket and asked him to walk along Drifting on the Nile River, he was discovered by an Egyptian princess who was taking a bath and adopted him as his adopted son.

King Herod was furious when he found out that the magi had not returned for a long time, so he ordered all boys under the age of two in Bethlehem to be executed.

The king is like this, as long as he feels that the person threatens his rule, even a child will kill him. Legend has it that Li Shimin heard a prophecy that a woman with Wu would usurp his dynasty, so he killed all the girls surnamed Wu in the empire, even a man nicknamed Wuniang.

Finally, under the persuasion of the prophet, Li Shimin gave up chasing and killing the girl surnamed Wu, and the girl who survived by luck later became Wu Zetian, the queen of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

Napoleon was not born in 1750, and his father, Charles Bonaparte, was only a little over four years old. If Charles Bonaparte had been kidnapped at that time, and he would not be alive or dead, he would still meet Will Letizia give birth to Napoleon?

But at that time Charles Bonaparte was not in Paris, he was in Ajaccio in Corsica, and his parents were not craftsmen in Paris, and the victims were concentrated between the ages of 11 and 12. In Corsica, Bonaparte’s family was a small nobleman, but in Paris they were middle-class at best, that is, similar to these harness and shoe repairers. At first, the Paris police suspected that these children were abducted by juvenile gangs. Most of the parents Will tell children not to go with strangers casually, but did not warn them not to go with "brothers and sisters".

The oldest of these juvenile criminals is 20 years old, and the youngest is only 9 years old. They have been involved in homicide cases since they were young.

The kids arrested by the police were younger than that, but these teenage criminals had a social status of Parisian street thugs, and they didn't mind running errands for the money. At the same time, this also means that they can spread rumors at will. They only need to cry in public and say that they were almost kidnapped, and enthusiastic citizens will believe it. Who would doubt a child in his teens?

Rumors are an irrepressible phenomenon, Parisians are more inclined to believe secret whispers than public announcements, and then rumors beget more rumors, the police can no longer be trusted because they are also involved in kidnappings , which eventually caused social panic and led to the death of Paris Police Chief Rabe.

Gianluca followed what Severus said, and went to investigate the report records left by the Louvre in the Paris police station. Indeed, there was no record of theft of the Pensieve, not even the theft of other cultural relics. There is a documented arrest of a man disguised as a plaster sculpture.

When even a hacker is powerless, he really can't find out where the fountain stones that were removed during the expansion of Notre Dame were used. Fortunately, the French National Library is digitizing documents and establishing an online library. He found such a material from 1750.

"About 12 years old, son of a craftsman?" Alejandro asked Gianluca while drinking water, sweating all over.

"I'm looking at the famous people from the French Revolution, who probably killed the Bourbons," Gianluca said.

"Not Robespierre?" Alejandro asked again.

"Robespierre was born in 1758, and his father, grandfather and great-grandfather were all lawyers in Calais," Gianluca said.

"God, that sounds crazy," Monica said with disgust.

"Nobody said it was the truth," Severus said. "It's our own wild guess."

"Should I continue to find the whereabouts of those stones, or continue to follow this clue?" Gianluca asked.

"Whatever you want." Severus said lazily, "How's Leroy doing over there?"

"You can contact him yourself," Gianluca said, before hanging up.

"What do we do next?" Monica said.

Severus thought for a while, then picked up the mirror that Cloris had given him, and there was a scene in it, a bronze sculpture of an angel standing in a pool with a sword in his hand.

"I know this place, it's the Michelle Fountain!" Monica yelled, taking out the travel magazine she bought from her bag.

"Let me see." Alejandro leaned over to look, but was pushed away by Monica.

"You stink, stay away from me," Monica said.

"Let's go, I'll take you to take a shower." Severus said, "By the way, change your clothes, there is a very formal party tonight, it will be held in Versailles, you go and change."

"What about me?" Monica said, pointing to herself.

Severus curled his lips. "My time is precious. I won't wait for you to spend an hour doing makeup."

"Your costume bags are given to me." Monica said confidently, "I promise you will be eye-catching at the party."
