Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2250 Fierce Frenzy (10)

It is best to be a chess player in a war, and you can fully enjoy the fun of playing chess. Although the taste of being a chess piece is not pleasant, it is much better than being a chessboard. Belgium is regarded as a chessboard. It was once occupied by many countries, and these countries have left some traces.

The guards and cavalry in beautiful uniforms didn't stay here much. After entering the city in Bruges, they stayed in the French manor next to the Lake of Love. Bruges is called "Venice of the North" not only because it is a water city like Venice. Many buildings in the city are red, which was the popular color of Florence during the Renaissance. As an important trading city in the north, the beauty of Florence The Digi family also has a branch in Bruges.

The French-style manor has a blue roof and pink-yellow walls. In addition to the Church of the Holy Blood, there is a St. Donatin Cathedral in the castle square in the city center, which is used to enshrine the bones of St. Donatin. It was during the French occupation. It was razed to the ground and building materials were used to build this "palace".

Minne means love in Dutch, but it is more appropriate to change the name of this lake to Swan Lake, because there are many swans in the lake.

Not far from the lake and the manor is the Beguinage, where the nuns grow a lot of grapes for wine making. Overall, this is a very peaceful, idyllic, and fairytale-like place, but Georgiana couldn't calm down.

After they had settled down, Bonaparte arrived a quarter of an hour later. When the others saw him appear, they all left one after another. She looked at him silently.

"I've been to the Inquisition," he said after a moment. "That place doesn't look like it."

"I didn't say it was a court, it might be a prison where prisoners are held." She said calmly, "If you want to torture, it's better to find a place away from human habitation."

Napoleon's expression is very vivid, although when he plays the role of commander-in-chief, it will be like wearing an ancient Roman mask. At this moment, his expression is the same as that of a normal person when he hears it.

"Austrians?" he asked after gathering his emotions.

"No, that castle has been abandoned for a long time, and this." Georgiana floated the cross she picked up in front of him, "There is an inscription on it, in 1619, this area should have belonged to the Spanish Netherlands during that time, During that time, there were several times of bad weather, and it happened to be the peak season of the witch hunt, or it could be called the 'national witch-hunt' (national witch-hunt). Not all places are hot cities, like Paris, London, Antwerp, Madrid, Amsterdam, Nuremberg are considered unnecessary for witch hunts, however, the Lorraine region and the Spanish Netherlands are the largest witch hunts Where it happened."

She sighed at this point, as if she was accumulating energy, and then continued, "At that time, there was a way to test wizards. The suspects were thrown into the water. If they floated up, they were wizards..."

"I know what it is," interrupted Bonaparte.

"I have seen a record of the Inquisition in Udine, where the Pope participated in the trial of a therapist named Michele Zoppe."

"I remember, we were at Leonard's Manor, and I asked you what you were looking at." He also sighed, "You later brought the topic to art."

Georgiana didn't remember until he reminded her.

"You were in a bad mood," Georgiana said softly. "I wanted to make you happy."

"I want to hear it now. What's the matter with that case? The Pope actually wants to try it himself."

Georgiana paused.

"A little boy died," she said softly. "The cause of his death was general failure. The accused Michele was a therapist. He first refused to agree to the request of the mother of an eight-month-old girl. The child was treated, then the mother accused him, some people thought he was a cunning liar, using witchcraft to confuse people, and also accused him, it was 1650, the previous victims were mainly women, since then not only men, Even princes can be accused of witchcraft. I think the incident outside the Prague window was triggered by a duke mutilating his mistress and throwing her body out of the window so he wouldn't be tried, and then the common people of Prague Throwing high officials and clerks out of windows."

He still listened quietly.

"I found Latin in that place just now. It means, 'There is a mad hell on the enchanted. Whoever is with a devil will become an enchanter himself'. I hope that two hundred years will pass , it has all stopped."

"I hate this, I want a good trip."

"I know," she said dryly. "Do you regret not bringing Josephine out?"

He reached out to touch the cross floating in the air.

"Don't touch it," Georgiana warned.

"Why?"

Georgiana hesitated how to explain it to him.

"I want to know the truth." He pointed to Georgiana's neck, "Tell me that your youth and beauty are maintained by the necklace on your neck. If you take it off, you will be old and ugly. I still put it on." It came off."

"I don't want to mislead you."

"Tell me what you saw?"

"Do you know the meaning of this word? Hilfe, I just asked. It means 'help' in Dutch. A man who was tortured said that to me." Georgiana said suppressing the pain." But he didn't know he was dead."

Bonaparte looked at her strangely.

"I can't help him." Georgiana said sadly, "You'd better not move everything in that fortress, even if it's a brick or a stone, his ghost will be transferred with the object."

"Then you still carry this thing." He pointed at the cross and cursed viciously.

"I need to investigate, if I don't bring it back, how can I think of the Spanish Netherlands." She faced his rant without flinching "You just asked if the Austrians did it, why are you so suspicious , is it because they just withdrew?"

He didn't answer.

"I used to think that science would destroy superstitions, but it doesn't." She said sadly, "It will instead create new superstitions and cover up the facts."

"Why do you think that?" he asked.

"Have you heard of the Salem incident?" Georgiana asked defiantly. "You think that's what ergot does?"

Again he didn't answer.

Yes, it was impossible in the 18th century to know what ergot was because that was after the discovery of cytology.

But some people have abused this doctrine. A man with ergot poisoning cannot speak articulately in court.

There was no Inquisition in Salem.

Georgiana thought of the Scavengers mercenaries, and the group she met in Rouen. I heard that one of them was arrested and may have been tortured, but if the wizard fell into the Scavengers In the hand, the end result is the same.

"The rye doesn't store well, and you'll get sick if you eat it," Georgiana said after a while. "It looks like a crazy dance. These are the ergot fungus."

"There is a hell of madness in a man of magic, I understand now what that means," said Bonaparte, laughing, and turned away.

"Me too." She said looking at his back.

The bell tower composed of 46 bells on the castle square in the city center is still ringing, and the sound can be heard even outside the city, but it is not as loud and pleasant as when it entered the city just now, it seems long and quiet, with the breeze, outside the window There are faint ripples on the mirror-like lake of the Lake of Love.
