Harry Potter Morning Light

The Forbidden Forest is open. Villagers living near the Forbidden Forest can use plants, wood and other resources in the Forbidden Forest for production and life. Forest trolls even opened up land for planting Babbo tubers in the Forbidden Forest until They almost invaded the lake in the Forbidden Forest, and the horses had a dispute with them.

The Forbidden Forest is also terrifying. There are all kinds of magical animals. Some of them are of great economic value and some are very dangerous. For example, the eight-eyed spiders. Their venom can be used as potions, but it is not easy to collect their venom. .

The other is poachers, who will try to poach animals that are prohibited from trade by the Ministry of Magic, such as unicorns.

Pomona didn't know how Severus could challenge an entire poaching armed group by himself, and he even received a commendation from the Ministry of Magic for this. Even though there was only a piece of paper, it still made him feel very happy.

Maybe this is the so-called recognition of his contribution. In the future, such a piece of paper can be found in the files of the Ministry of Magic, proving that he has done righteous things with dark magic.

Georgiana had seen dueling with rapiers. It embodied a kind of aristocratic elegance, with quick and precise movements, but it revealed risks at every turn.

Compared with the Mamluk scimitars worn by the Egyptian legions, the slender sword looks like a ceremonial sword, while the real ceremonial sword is more like jewelry and has no actual combat function.

The last time General Rainier and General Destein dueled with Mamluk scimitars, they were squatting half-crouched with the tips of the scimitars pointing down, looking like two scorpions holding up the stingers on their tails.

Maybe they were already familiar with each other, so they didn't try to test each other. They waved the knives in their hands with all their strength. The blade reflected the moonlight in the sky, and every wave seemed to cut through the darkness.

The darkness affected each other's vision. It was General Rainier who stepped on a pit or stone on the ground first and lost his balance. General Destein immediately took a big step and rushed forward, with the blade pointed directly at his throat.

Rainier swung his knife to deflect Destein's knife, making a deafening crisp sound.

Sword dueling requires physical strength. Figel will use a medieval long sword to swing an "iron butterfly", a move that is rarely used by modern men.

Precisely because practicing martial arts requires food to provide sufficient physical strength, as well as weapons, etc., it has always been in the hands of nobles.

Although the second sons of nobles could not inherit the family property, they received education in this field during their growth and were like wandering lions looking for their own territory.

The convicted sentry held 3 rounds of blank ammunition and live ammunition in his hand. As a sentry, his first task was to keep watch and be on guard. If he warned the opponent to no avail, he could actually discharge the blank gun, which would generate enough firepower. The sound can not only scare the other party, but also remind oneself that an uninvited guest is coming. At least the officer will come to check the situation.

The full name of Antoine who came to Georgiana was Jean-Antoine Houdon. He was not as famous as Antonio Canova, the "contemporary Michelangelo" from Italy, but his works were known to Georgiana. The famous full-length seated statue of Voltaire was sculpted by Antoine.

Georgiana could probably guess the reason for his visit. Napoleon offered a reward in the newspaper for a set of sculptures, the theme of which was Heracles fighting the goddess of fate.

Of course, the things made by artists like Canova and Antoine cannot be as different as Georgiana's half-finished products, which are obviously not good-looking but still have others praise them without conscience.

The "reception room" where she meets guests is a small greenhouse in which many orchids are planted. These orchids are transplanted from the seven "churches" next to the Luxembourg Gardens. These seven greenhouses are planted in seven different climate conditions. The plants are mainly used for scientific research and supply of green plants for interior decoration in Luxembourg, such as the potted plants placed on an official's desk.

This small greenhouse is more like a landscaping than a popular science value, with flowing water passing through a small rockery.

There is a small pavilion behind the small rockery. It is actually more like a birdcage. There is a small table that can seat three people. When Georgiana came, Mr. Antoine did not sit at the table, but admired it with his hands behind his back. looking at the surrounding scenery.

He was a short little old man, a little skinny, dressed in the aristocratic clothes of the old era, but without a wig. He reminded Georgiana of a certain comedy star in the French movie "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth".

Perhaps feeling that someone was coming, Antoine turned around, and a happy smile immediately appeared on his rosy face.

"Madam." Antoine bowed to her, "You are as beautiful as Artemis."

"Artemis is a pure girl, but I am not." Georgiana said awkwardly, it must be Talleyrand talking nonsense again.

"Voltaire said that he only saw pure morality in Confucius's books without any political tricks. This is the feeling you give me." Antoine said, and then took out a box from his back. "This is the first The governor asked me to give it to you."

It was a jewelry box, and he really "enjoyed" giving away things like this.

"Thank you." Georgiana smiled politely at Antoine, then took the box and sat down.

"I finally understand." Antoine stood and said, "Why did he say that your smile brings hope."

She didn't understand what Antoine meant, but Antoine had already sat down next to her.

"Open it and have a look," said Antoine.

It was an emerald-colored leather box, very "royal" in style.

When she opened the box, there was a beige substrate inside, and a sapphire necklace with a note on it.

She put down the box and picked up the note:

The white deer I hunted seemed tame but was wild. I wrapped diamonds around her beautiful neck and engraved this sentence there.

Although there is no signature written by anyone, I can tell who wrote it based on the handwriting and tone.

Georgiana looked at the blue diamond necklace again and suddenly felt that it was similar to the jewelry collar that a lady wore for her dog.

"I don't think you can refuse." Antoine said helplessly, "Unless you want to stay in the greenhouse all the time."

"I can go wherever I want with it on?" Georgiana quipped.

"The First Consul wants you to take Princess Paulina out to relax. Curator Denon and I will accompany you to Italy." Antoine said.

She really didn't expect it.

Antoine shrugged comically.

"I need new inspiration," Antoine said.

"How long?" Georgiana asked.

"I don't know," said Antoine.

She sighed and looked down at the necklace again.

"Tell him, if you want me to wear a collar, at least wear something I like, and ask him to find the best jewelry designer!" Georgiana closed the box and handed it back to Antoine.

"I think you'd better write it down. Recently... he has a bad temper." Antoine said carefully.

"What else can he do? Can he be a cannibal like the beast of Revodan?"

Antoine didn't answer.

In the end, Georgiana had to find a pen and paper and copy down what she had just said.

She would never refer to the scar on Severus' neck as a "collar" again, her imagination could hurt sometimes.
