MTL - Harry Potter’s Morning Light-Chapter 2762 Swan Song (10)
Chapter 2762 The Song of the Swan (10)
It was a sunny day in May, but it was dark in the broom room, only a little light came in from the narrow window.
In the silence, there was a sticky sound made by the intertwining of lips and tongues. Although it was not offensive, it was still reminiscent of reptiles like snakes.
Although no one will see them at the moment, his kisses have gone from being slightly jerky to becoming more and more skilled, as if his tongue is not only capable of biting sarcasm.
She couldn't help being a little breathless, her feet tensed involuntarily, but she lost the strength to stand up, and she needed him to hug her tightly to barely stand against him. Her hand, too, was limp and limp, sliding down until she inadvertently touched the cold belt buckle of his robe.
They suddenly became sober, and ended the kiss hastily. He turned his head to one side, and put his chin on her shoulder, and her ears were filled with his heavy breathing.
Charlie had already left, and the fire dragons had fallen into a deep sleep after drinking the sleeping potion. Although the sound was terrifying, it was not similar to what she heard at the moment. She thought it was more like the low warning sound of some cats roar.
Then she moved her hand away from his belt buckle, and the snarling died away in an instant.
"Good girl." He murmured softly, nasally, and his voice sounded deeper and more seductive than usual.
But she was not a real "good girl", she stretched out her arm, made him take half a step back, and put her arms around his neck lightly.
"Have you finished what I want?"
The master of potions smiled, and took out a red crystal bottle from the deformed lizard skin pocket.
"Just a little?" Pomona asked.
"Enough for you." He said solemnly, "You want so much, do you plan to use it as bath water?"
But this dream potion is what she intends to drink for the tinder bush in the maze.
"I want more!" She said seriously.
He misunderstood her meaning and planned to continue kissing her.
She turned her head to one side, avoiding the kiss.
He was a little upset.
"I want more!" She took the crystal bottle in his hand, held it with two fingers, and shook it in front of him, "I want to use up all the dragon blood I gave you."
"What are you going to do?" He also said seriously.
"Secret." She said with a smile, just about to leave the broom, but was caught back.
In fact, dragons don’t smell good, especially after being heated by high temperature, it will feel uncomfortable to smell it close. Charlie, who often takes care of them, also has it, which makes the profession of dragon trainer only suitable for most girls from a distance, unless he is willing to wear perfume, but then the dragon doesn't like Charlie.
Animals will leave their own scent on their territory and their cubs. If the kittens are contaminated with human scent when they are born, mother cats will not take care of them.
The dragons transported this time are all female dragons. They are not as aggressive as male dragons. They only become aggressive when protecting their own eggs. The goal of the contestants is the golden egg among those eggs.
The mermaid's singing echoed in her ears, and she didn't know if she heard it wrong, because they were not in the corridor at the bottom of the black lake now.
Although the song is beautiful, it attracts sailors to the trap, and the mermaid will eat them.
But if there are other options, mermaids will not insist on eating human flesh like werewolves. After all, they are rational and intelligent "beasts", and humans have tried to classify them as humans.
The soft-clawed land shrimp that brings bad luck to humans is completely useless to them, just like chocolate is deadly to dogs, but a delicacy to humans.
His greasy hair looked terrible in the Slytherin house with the elegance and beauty, especially after You-Know-Who appeared, and he was so close to a Gryffindor girl.
He wouldn't go to Lily with a bald head, and he himself forgot to make hair tonic.
He only thought of her when he was in a hurry and had nowhere to go. In fact, he could still go to the school hospital to find Madam Pomfrey.
But Madam Pomfrey may be too old for him, in fact Madam Pomfrey was quite beautiful when she was young.
Animals have no sense of shame, and they can do things that humans need private space to do in public.
God believes that it is shameful for human beings to cover themselves with leaves after eating the forbidden fruit.
Originally, Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. After eating the fruit, there was no trace left to prove that they had eaten the forbidden fruit. They could plant it on other animals, saying that they ate it.
It was their own superfluous action that was discovered.
Like what Georgiana is doing right now.
Her memories gradually returned from the dimly lit broom room to the small drawing room. Because it was too cold, she was wrapped in a piece of blue fox fur, and the trial judge of Ghent, Baines, was sitting at the long table. the other side.
Brussels has its own courts and judges. According to the "consistent style" of Belgium, the police and judiciary are local autonomy. The Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II tried to reform this, but encountered resistance and obstruction. Other bills and reforms he introduced also failed to pass, including the abolition of witchcraft trials.
Even though the Low Countries currently has inquisitions, unlike Spain and Portugal, secular courts can still conduct witchcraft trials. The Salem Witch Trials in 1692 are an example.
There were also courts in England, and even the Witchcraft Act of 1775, although it was shelved in Ireland, was still enforced in the other British colonies.
She can also use the loopholes in the "Carolingian Code" to let the law school act as a high court across regions, but it is difficult to predict the consequences. Luther did not expect that since the emperor sentenced him to exile through the secular court, As a result magistrates could punish criminals who violated religious laws.
She used the "Sackley Code" in Paris to deal with corpse theft, which was not mentioned in the current French Republic code, and because there was no objection to this treatment, it became a case of unwritten law and was recorded.
The "Sakley Code" was compiled by the Franks according to customary law. Because the code prohibited women from having "land" inheritance rights, France refused to recognize the black prince Edward as the king of France, even though his mother was French.
It wasn't until the Black Prince defeated the French heavy armored knights with British longbowmen after the Battle of Crecy. This time, unlike the Battle of Agincourt, the ground was not plowed and the land was not soft. A horse whose legs don't get stuck in the mud. However, Crecy's terrain was not suitable for the play of heavy knights, and the French army suffered heavy casualties in all 15 charges. After the defeat of the French army, Britain signed the Treaty of Brittany with France, and Britain gave up claiming the throne after acquiring a large area of French land. In the same year, according to the treaty, the Black Prince became the Duke of Aquitaine in France.
Breton is a Celtic language, and there are strong Celtic customs in the local area. Most of the saints are local residents. The Gacus she said to Joannis before is the 7th century in Brittany A princely hermit. Their understanding of saints is very different from that of other places. For example, there was a blacksmith who held a red-hot horseshoe and held it in front of St. Marjan, who was said to be able to cure headaches, and said, "If you can't cure this child's fever , I will let you wear horseshoes."
The consecration of saints is generally granted after death, but St. Marjean still "relented", and the child's fever subsided. In return, the blacksmith gave St. Marang a white hen as an offering.
It is St. Avoye who asks for the white hen. The man who prays must give it before doing anything. If the saint refuses to show grace, the Breton will be as threatening as the blacksmith. The blacksmith threatens first. Giving offerings is not in line with the "process".
This incident was written into a notebook by a monk, and somehow it reached the library of Rouen, where it was seen by Georgiana.
The Bretons will proceed with their own interests and make transactions with the saints. The saints will ask for different rewards according to the favors designated by the believers. Each saint has his own hobbies.
German bones are decorated with gold and jewelry, but these "sacred bones" are often people with prominent status during their lifetime, not all the bones of saints, but they were sealed together by the Vatican when they were canonized in the 16th century.
The customs of each place are different. The Sackley Code was translated into German and circulated during the Carolingian Dynasty. It became the "Barbarian Code". In "Pride and Prejudice", Mrs. Bennet is worried that she will be kicked out of the house by her nephew and wants to marry Elizabeth to him.
After the death of Charlemagne, the empire fell into a split. The Kingdom of East Francia formed the Holy Roman Empire in the 10th century. After the death of the Child King Louis, the rule of the Carolingian Dynasty in East Francia ended, but the barbarian code was still in use until Charles V promulgated it. The Carolingian Code ruled Germany for two centuries.
This code is known for its cruel punishment, but the procedural law also stipulates that capital punishment can only be used when there is solid evidence, like in the Salem witch trials, "I dreamed" Bishop jumped onto the bed of a young man in a red dress , The testimony that is coquettishly pasted on the lips of an unarmed young man is not admissible.
In the last case of the witch Anna Gorledi, the hero colluded with politicians and the church, and the hero himself was a very influential local judge. In order to frame Gorledi, he really put the poisonous needle on Into his daughter's milk bottle, it became evidence that Gorledi attempted to murder his child, and Gorledi suffered inhuman torture as a result.
It is precisely because Baron Johann von Schwackenberg, the compiler of the Carolingian code, eradicated the passages on demon possession and all traces of heretical laws from the very beginning of the code, that the Inquisition was not as good as Germany. Spain is as active as Italy.
Also because the Inquisition would confiscate property, the German propertied class clearly disapproved of the Inquisition, but they could not prevent the Court of Fire and village lynchings.
The so-called temptresses do not necessarily refer to those coquettish and charming girls.
In the eyes of closed rural farmers, just being cute and pitiful is enough, even if she is old. When you are old, you should not put on that kind of appearance, but you should be like a kind, dignified elder who is respected by the villagers, instead of looking at each other with watery eyes and pleading eyes.
Albert Baines was able to become the president of the court at the age of 40, of course, not only because of his ability, but also because of his strong ambition.
But she doesn't want the "witch hunt" to continue.
The wheel of history has moved forward, and it is impossible to go back as some people hope. Louis XIV and XV need obedient and "non-trickster" nobles. These nobles did not even dare to propose to Louis XVI that attacking North America is not a Good idea, only dare to whisper in the corner.
The lords have gone to the big cities, and they will only come back when they collect money. He doesn’t care about anything in the territory, so why do the villagers keep this lord?
Emperor Frederick the Great dealt with the miller Arnold incident, and the people felt that he could uphold justice. He has been dead for so many years and there are still people who miss him.
Since Alisa has long wanted to give the championship to Henry, why waste the Duke's time, can't he give that skirt to another woman? Why give it to Alisa? She picked left and right, but she picked a dreamer. When she was wasted by him, she was no longer beautiful, and she couldn't get married, so what did she have to do with the Duke, anyway, Alisa didn't marry the Duke.
If she really needs a dress, just say so, it's the Duke's decision whether to help or not. It was she who gave the Duke the illusion that he had hope. There were two situations between a player who went all out and a spectator who took his time. This "competition" was not fair at all. Of course the Duke would yell dissatisfaction after losing.
Georgianna did not lie. When Britain sent the swan over and he covered her eyes to surprise her, she was really moved.
She remembered the sunshine that day, and their chaotic footsteps. He wanted to cover her eyes, or step on her skirt to prevent the two from falling together.
Maybe this is why she hates ballerinas, although there is no ballet like Swan Lake in this era.
"You know why I called you here?" Georgiana asked.
"Yes," Baines said. "You want me to let the demonstrators go."
"We raised taxes without their consent, and their protest is reasonable." Georgiana said, "Even the king wants to hold a three-level parliament, so I hope you will not only let them go, but also be polite to them. The police did their damage when they arrested them, and they have to pay compensation."
"You're like this..."
"I have another task for you." Georgiana continued.
"Is it a prison?" Baines said.
"No, someone else is responsible," Georgiana said.
She also thought of the illegitimate son of the old Polish king. His request was that the people in the forest could not be forced to leave.
In fact, during the War of Religion, when William I of Orange died, the Netherlands wanted France to become the suzerain, but Henry III rejected this proposal.
The issue of the Netherlands diverted the internal conflicts in France, and contributed to the formation and promulgation of the Edict of Beaulieu, the Peace Treaty of Bergeracco, and the Peace Treaty of Frye. Unlike Spain, France required half of the treasury tax revenue from the Netherlands to support Japan’s continuous improvement. Fallen Empire runs.
"Then what do you need me for?" Baines asked.
"I noticed that some diseases can spread with water, even if they have become corpses, rainwater will seep into the ground and pollute water sources. During the Thirty Years War, the plague raged, and the Swedes used beer instead of water."
Baines waited for her to finish.
"All the cemeteries in the city were moved to places far away from living places and water sources."
"This will cause a lot of people to protest." Baines said.
"If anyone protests, send someone to arrest them. The new prison has good ventilation and sunlight, so they don't have to worry about getting sick inside."
Baines didn't speak.
"Of course you can't do it by yourself, so you can ask the members of the council for help. Many of those cemeteries are in prosperous areas and can be developed into apartments and restaurants." Georgiana said, "The dead need more peace and tranquility."
"I'll make it official," Baines said. "Can I go and let the demonstrators go now?"
"Of course." Georgiana said.
Baines stood up.
"I hope you don't misunderstand, we are not like you, even if Brussels burns, we can't fight the fire without an order." Baines said.
"I know." She smiled and said, "Even if I did something wrong, I would still be punished."
Baines looks at her.
"What were you thinking?" Georgiana asked.
"What a ruthless person the First Consul is." Baines said, then bowed to her and left the small reception room.
