Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 1812
Severus and Lucius walked ashore along a fairly gentle slope, looking around the place.
It looks a bit like an opera house, but the position of the "stand" is not European style, but more Indian style. There is an alcove in each "private room", and there is a lamp in the alcove. If it is lit, it will burn. Very beautiful.
The "opera house" has a roof, which looks like a building in the industrial period, and the moonlight can shine in through the glass. There are many sculptures of animals beside the pool, and there are also many flowers, which look like they are spread on the bride's "wedding dress".
There is a famous sculpture of David in Florence, which is based on the story of David fighting Goliath in the Bible, in which Goliath is a giant and David is a normal-sized human being, but David in Florence is a giant.
The same goes for the "Bride" sculpture, with both Severus and Lucius reaching only to her waist.
In fact, the sculptures of ancient Rome and Greece are all colored, but the color matching does not seem to meet the aesthetics of modern people. After being unearthed, they were all washed away, and the original color of the stone was restored.
The color of the sculpture made of wax is different from that of the stone sculpture, but because it is done delicately enough, her limbs look almost identical to those of a living person, and there is a faint fragrance on the wax figure.
The French are good at blending and making incense. In the ancient way of making perfume, animal fat is usually used to obtain fragrance, and animal oil happens to be the material for making wax.
In a sense, mummy is a kind of wax. Napoleon's tomb is surrounded by a circle of goddesses of victory. They all have a pair of invisible wings behind them, as if angels are guarding him. Behind the huge sculpture of the bride is a whole wall of plant reliefs painted with green paint, as if it were a tropical rainforest.
India is rich in spices, and explorers such as Columbus have always wanted to find a shortcut to India for trade. Severus and Pomona had eaten at a restaurant in Venice that imitated Renaissance dishes before, and after tasting it, all they could say was that Renaissance people are heavy tasters.
Except for plagues and military disasters, people in the Middle Ages actually lived pretty well. If there were fewer people, it was better to eat. If the boss paid a higher salary, he would have spare money to buy spices and make delicious food.
People at that time did not like to drink water, because the water source was not clean. The priests suggested to drink wine, at least alcohol has a certain disinfection effect.
The water of the Seine River is clear now. Severus "saw" the Seine River 200 years ago. Fortunately, he knew the magic of "clear water like a spring". Otherwise, when he saw the dirty river water, let alone drink it. He is too dirty to wash things.
There is a closed door in the middle of the relief, which is very narrow and long. It looks like the door of an ancient Egyptian temple. There is a line of Latin written on the lintel, which means: lift up the eternal door, and the King of Glory will come in.
This quote is taken from the Psalms of the Bible:
Lift up your heads, O gates, be lifted up, gates of eternity, and the King of Glory will enter.
It is my glory, and it is to raise my head.
I'm waiting for you, waiting for your knock on the door. The only thing that separates us is a door, and I will polish my shoes and get ready to go, and I will put fresh bread in my pocket. When you are ready to go, please hold your head up. Now I am waiting for you, waiting for your knock on the door.
But you and the LORD are my shield around me, my glory, and lift up my head.
Hold your head up.
Napoleon's tomb has the names of his victorious battles, which made the French "raise their heads", but could not make the people of other countries feel honored.
"What do you think this looks like?" Lucius said, looking at the Latin writing on the lintel.
"His real grave." Severus deadpanned. "He likes green."
"I like green." Lucius said, looking at Severus, "but I think he's making me hate green."
Severus said nothing.
"It's like clean water is polluted." Lucius said in a long tone. "Those dirty Muggles are always spying on things that don't belong to them."
Severus didn't answer Lucius.
His eyes trembled slightly, as if caught in a certain memory.
"Shall we go in?" Lucius asked.
"I'm going to find the Muggle boy," Severus said. "I'm back to my old self, too. Maybe the pool is the same as the Gringotts Burglar Fountain."
"If you want to waste time," Lucius said nonchalantly, "why do you think they use wax figures instead of stone sculptures?"
"More realistic," Severus said quietly, "and there's no need for a Harvest Goddess in France now."
"What?"
"There are several unused statues in the tomb of the Lestrange family, one of which is the goddess of harvest." Severus said coldly.
Lucius did not continue to ask, he turned and walked to the other side of the "box" to check.
Severus turned to look at the pool.
In the poems left by Lawrence, who do not know whether they were written by Bonaparte, it was written:
Behind the relief wall is a luxurious bath,
A clean light casts from a high window and falls in the black marble pool,
There are sculptures of horses, deer, bears, and rabbits by the pool, like a forest scene.
This place is exactly as described in that poem.
The "purification" process does not necessarily require fire, and washing with water is also possible, but the filth on that guy's body may be difficult to wash with all the holy water in heaven.
But in fact, he is a very clean person, at least much more clean than those nobles who don't like to take a bath, don't repair toilets in Versailles, but spend a lot of money on perfume to cover up the stench. Also much better than those who don't want to get their hands dirty and leave the "dirty work" to the mercenaries.
Venice has a powerful navy, but the army does not, and needs mercenaries to fight.
How can a mercenary have any loyalty? Sforza used to be a mercenary, but later he usurped power and became the Grand Duke of Milan.
In time, those mercenaries would "rebel against customers" sooner or later, but Venice was occupied by the French led by Napoleon.
He was a genius, but this talent is cursed, at least not as worthy of praise as Newton's talent.
When a man is dying of starvation, he cannot bear the difference if there is someone beside him who is about to vomit.
Lucius bought everyone in the Slytherin team a broomstick, which is not a big deal in the aristocratic circle. There was a New York CEO who once spent 10 million dollars to hold a wedding for his daughter in the Rainbow Building in Rockefeller Center. For the coming-of-age ceremony, he invited more than 150 of his daughter's friends to participate. The guests not only enjoyed the performance of a well-known band, but also received a small party gift worth $300 before going home.
The father's motive was only to declare his love for his daughter to the world by hosting a party and create unforgettable memories for his daughter, but the outside world has been criticized.
Just like Hermione Granger criticized Draco, saying that he did not rely on his strength to enter Slytherin, Draco and Harry Potter are obviously chasers who go hand in hand.
Fudge also spent a lot of money on the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament, not to mention the Quidditch World Cup, and the Triwizard Tournament was also suspended forever because of Cedric's death, like fireworks, at the brightest moment off.
"That day" Severus attended a welcome ceremony at the Giovanni-designed Paris Opera House to celebrate Lucien Bonaparte's victory in the Orange War with Portugal, and Paris also set off fireworks.
Who would have thought that "Huadu" would be in ruins in 1870?
Let me ask you a question, which man deep down does not want to be an emperor?
Who wouldn't want to go to heaven?
This place is like the Gate of Eden. In the past, Adam and Eve were expelled from this gate because they ate the forbidden fruit. Human beings spent so much time and energy, the dream is to return to Eden.
However, returning to Eden means that they must abide by God's rules like domestic pets. If they do not obey the rules, they will be punished and threatened to be driven out of Eden.
After leaving Eden, he was free and could see the real world, but he could no longer be as carefree as God's pet.
The Anglo-Saxon model is to be strong, which includes genes. If the genes are not good enough to survive the great plague, then everything the elite has will be confiscated by the state.
When Milan and Venice were in quarantine, the Roman feudal lords asked the monks to drink holy water to the infected, making them believe that the holy water would protect them. Of course, the economic activities of the society did not stop, and more people died.
Those who can survive the Black Death are strong, and of course they can revel. Those who have never suffered from the Black Death know how they will die tomorrow, and they have to spend whatever money they have. Shiploads of oriental luxury goods are shipped to the west without worrying about no consumers.
At least they were happy and happy during the carnival.
When all means known to mankind are unable to prevent the spread of the plague, those in power will be questioned, and a "scapegoat" will be thrown out at this time.
Originally, wizards and witches were suspected of performing witchcraft, but in the end the witch hunt turned into a "witch trial", and most witches were just ordinary women.
Being too close to the Muggle ruler will lead to misfortune, but the legislative power in France is in the hands of Napoleon. Louis XIV used an amnesty to revoke the accusation of witchcraft. Can France succeed in legislation, unlike Mary in England? This is what the Second King refused to legislate to protect wizards.
Severus looked at the entrance and let out a long sigh.
Dumbledore taught female students in the same way as male students. This kind of equal education deprived them of the joy of women. Is this kind of education advisable?
To be happy or to be real?
This is the difference between inside and outside of Eden, separated by a door.
