Harry Potter Morning Light

Boulogne-sur-Mer is an ancient city, and there are many tourists every year, many of whom come from England.

If the "armistice banquet" was to be held, British guests would be indispensable. However, the last "peace banquet" held with the Americans was a failure. Even with actresses on the side, those Americans still had serious expressions.

The earliest immigrants were the Puritans who boarded the Mayflower. When it comes to Puritans, Cromwell is naturally indispensable. During his reign, many theaters were closed. After he lost power, the "Merry King" regained the throne, and he resumed the theater. Even in the early days of American immigration, there was no such place as "indulging vanity" in the theater.

Although she didn't have the best master of ceremonies in Paris, she still had St. Mery to call the scene, and of course there would be no more actresses as companions at the banquet.

What show should I perform? Then she thought, Well, it's none of her troubles, it's Saint-Merry's job. She only confessed that after the all-night fireworks in Le Havre, she did not plan to continue in Boulogne-sur-Mer, because the sound reminded her of those terrible cannons.

She did not ask Bonaparte how many days he was going to be in Boulogne-sur-Mer, since he was busy at the moment with setting up artillery positions. He usually looks at the situation on the highlands in the small village where he lives temporarily, and then he will come to Boulogne by surprise, and personally survey the preparation situation, or invite the artillery or engineering generals to have lunch or dinner with him .

This time he came to Boulogne-sur-Mer quite unexpectedly. Everyone thought he would go overland through Abbeville.

Maybe he really meant it, or maybe he hadn't planned to go overland to Belgium in the first place, because he wouldn't send her a ship so coincidentally for no reason.

The farm where they lived temporarily was rented by Napoleon, not expropriated by the army, and the ownership still belonged to the owner of the manor. If he hadn't planned it in advance, the rent would have been for nothing.

And that barracks has existed since the 18th century. I don’t know if this is the style of a barracks or if it was not built seriously at the beginning. The houses are all made of branches and mud. Although every regiment, every brigade, and every division has Its own exclusive area, and it is separated by a wide avenue, but such a house is obviously not suitable for banquets.

Those generals not only had to bear high pressure, but the key point was that after he came, he gave a bunch of orders and built a lot of facilities, which made people think that the soldiers of Boulogne-sur-Mer were wasting their time here.

At least they built a military pier and named it after Napoleon.

She has an indescribable sadness for these people. Without them, the frontier would be unguarded, and the situation that the countries wanted to carve up France during the French Revolution would reappear when they wiped out the "Kingslayer".

But now they have become stronger and have enough strength to invade other countries.

As Wordsworth wrote on Napoleon's birthday in 1802, vain sorrow for Napoleon, unthinking sorrow.

Personally, he thought he was happy to be able to make full use of his talents, but his military talents could only be used in war, and it would make him feel unhappy not to let him develop them. Fortunately, God also gave him another talent. He is the French academician who discovered the geometric theorem. Even if the theorem he discovered is far inferior to that of Descartes, as long as he concentrates on this, who knows what else he will achieve?

Only in this way he will leave the soldiers who followed him.

They loved him, and that affection was not feigned, and whoever loved her with that passion, she would love in return, but she was an Englishwoman, and the soldiers could not understand why their Caesar had brought her to Boulogne.

It was strange, indeed, that perhaps she should be shown off as some sort of trophy, but Bonaparte didn't take her everywhere. On the contrary, she still has a certain degree of freedom, she can do whatever she wants, including the fact that she wants to hold a truce banquet, as for how to invite guests... This is not something she has considered.

In fact, the celebration banquet had already been held in Paris, and it was completely unnecessary to hold it here, but at that time, all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries attended, and there were no such low-level military officers.

Living in such a dilapidated camp, at least give them a good meal. After peace, the food on the table will become richer. They should enjoy a little bit of the benefits of peace. This part is the responsibility of the quartermaster.

In the past at Hogwarts, she often organized banquets with a scale of more than 1,000 people. If it was changed to 2,000 people, it would almost double. The next step is to choose a location.

Because of her freedom, she could ride a horse and look around in Boulogne-sur-Mer, so she came to the location of the "Tower of Order", the lighthouse left by Caesar has almost been reduced to ruins, leaving only a pedestal.

In Caesar's time, the torch of the Alexandria Lighthouse should still be burning. It stood outside Alexandria for 1,500 years, and was later severely damaged by two earthquakes.

It is said that the lighthouse used a mirror to reflect sunlight during the day and a fire to guide ships at night.

She remembered the mirror in the tree hole again. Normally, the dream would disappear when she woke up the next day, but she remembered the mirror in the dream.

It is said that this building, which was once listed as a miracle of mankind, was reduced to a watchtower because the lighthouse was destroyed. Later, in order to resist foreign invasion, the Mamluk Sultan built Gatbe Castle on the site with the stone left over from the lighthouse.

She also remembered the meeting with Jin Jinyuan. At that time, Henry VIII’s "Tent Palace" was a trompe l'oeil painting. The workers painted it like a brick surface, which looked like a solid house. She felt that it should be used in the nearby theater troupe. This kind of thing can be found, but is it too late?

Some people think that the lighthouse in Alexandria does not exist, it is imagined by people, because no one has seen its real thing except written records, and even its foundation has been replaced by other buildings.

However, because of the joint underwater archaeology of French and Egyptian scholars, many remnants of Alexandria were salvaged, and people gradually believed that the Alexandria Lighthouse "really exists".

Of course, some people have also found the remains of ancient chariots in the Red Sea. It is said that they sank to the bottom of the sea when the Pharaoh was chasing the Israelites.

They are also "miracles". The lighthouse of Alexandria is one of the seven artificial wonders. The miracle of Moses was brought by God. God has no trace to follow. At least the pyramids, which are also the seven wonders of the Middle Ages, still stand in the desert. .

"Hey!!"

While she was watching the scenery of the blue sea and blue sky, she suddenly heard someone shouting.

She followed the voice and found someone waving at her.

"Should I drive them away?" Figel asked Georgiana.

"Wait, I seem to know them." Georgiana covered the sun with her hands and carefully observed the three people not far away. One of them she really knew was Fresnel, a student from the Paris Institute of Technology, beside him. There were two other people, because they couldn't see clearly standing under the shade of the tree, so she just let the horse go.

The one with Fresnel was a man and a woman, looking like the relationship between a guardian and a ward, and they looked at Georgiana curiously.

"Good day, Mrs. Sevres!" Fresnel raised his head and said enthusiastically.

"Why are you here?" she asked, wondering if she should dismount.

"Thank you for your support. I am now looking for a lighthouse that I can install." Fennel said, and then he introduced Georgiana, "This is Mr. Turner who should come, this is..."

"My name is Maria Edgeworth." The woman offered in English, "It's an honor to meet you."

Georgiana knew Edgeworth very well by now.

"Your father..."

"I'm a writer." Maria said in French with a smile, "I wrote a new book called "Fort Lachronde". Have you read it?"

"What's it about?" Georgiana asked, laughing.

"It's a novel."

"I don't like novels." Georgiana said provocatively, "especially the kind that pass the time."

"Me too," Maria said in English, "and I don't want to write that kind of novel that kills time, as the Italians say, a bad book is worse than a robber because it steals someone else's life. "

She looked at Maria in surprise.

"Maybe you'll be a character in my next novel too," Maria said. "Mind if I interview you, ma'am."
