Chapter 1638 frog&fog(twenty-six)

How should an interesting legend end?

It depends on whether the wanderer can see the light of the lighthouse through the fog,

Or hear a cry in the mist.

A white unicorn emerged from the fog, holding its beautiful head high,

It runs lightly, nimbly and silently,

Shaking his mane and horn, he made a melodious neigh,

It's like a dream.

"Snape, look!"

Just as Severus and Draco were packing, Gongseyi suddenly shouted.

"What did you find again?"

"I found it in my grandfather's notes." Gongcey handed a yellowed book to Severus. "Maitre pierre, do you know what this means?"

Severus kept his eyes on the notebook.

"What do you mean?" Draco asked confused.

"This name refers to the Philosopher's Stone among alchemists." Gongsei said to Draco, "The gray color symbolizes the fifth element and is also an important part of the alchemical process, acquiring knowledge. The statue in front of Notre Dame de Paris

The sculpture is called Monsieur Gray by the Parisians, but it was not an isolated sculpture at first, but was in a fountain. There was a string of Latin inscriptions in the fountain, and my grandfather wrote it down..."

"Come closer, reformed person. If my water is not enough, go to the temple and the goddess you summoned will prepare the water of eternal life for you." Severus said, reading the record in his notebook.

"Do you still remember your other dagger?" Gong Saiyi said happily, "His poems have always mentioned the moon. If that dagger is really used to sacrifice the rising water of the Nile, you only need to find Mr. Gray's

Sculptures, temples, and fountains, and the goddess you summon will prepare enough water for you, and then you can sail away."

"What poem?" Draco asked.

"What about the Canal Saint-Martin and the mummies under the July Column?" Severus asked as if throwing cold water.

"I don't know about that. Oh, wait, we found the sculpture of Mr. Gray, do you remember? It's in the cemetery of the Lestrange family." Gongsey said excitedly, "We can ask again.

That ghost, thanks to him we found a lot of clues."

"After you pack it up, go over there first." Severus returned the notebook to Gong Saiyi. "I'll go to the Lestrange family cemetery to find you after I've finished taking care of it here."

"Okay, boss." Gong Saiyi collected the information and left the main room.

Severus walked into the fireplace first, grabbed a handful of Floo powder, and then called "Saas-Fee", and with a flash of green flames, he appeared in a small log cabin.

Saas-Fee is a village in Valais, Switzerland. It is known as the Pearl of the Alps and is a world-famous resort. Lucius Malfoy has a cabin here. It is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and can be seen from the window of the cabin.

arrive.

In this time of global warming and summers becoming unbearably hot, it is quite refreshing to see the snow-capped mountains and glaciers that never change all year round. Severus just looked out the window when Draco walked out of the fireplace.

.

"I will cast the Brave Loyalty Charm here, and you and Astonia will arrange the next defense. Fiona will do the shopping when she goes out..."

"I know, Godfather." Draco said impatiently.

"You have to be careful." Severus warned in a low voice, "Our opponent is not an idiot. So far, I have been led by others. Although I can't tell the reason, our previous residence is no longer safe, so we just

I'm forced to move. After I leave, the family will depend on you. Don't mess up like James Potter, do you understand?"

Draco nodded seriously.

"I want you to focus if you don't want to end up like the Potters."

"Got it, Godfather." Draco repeated again, this time in a more serious tone.

"Clean this place up." Severus said, looking at the cabin that had been empty for a long time. "We don't know how long we are going to live in this place."

The pampered Master Malfoy used his wand to clean the snowy mountain cabin like a house elf.

Saas-Fee is very clean. Like the Gedrick Valley, there are no cars here, so there is almost no dust. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it difficult for outsiders to enter. It is a great secluded place.

In short, this is a countryside with nothing. People who are used to urban life may not be able to stand it after two days, but rich people like to buy real estate here.

The pure white snow-capped mountains are so spotless and look doubly holy in the sunshine.

Severus took one last look at the scenery outside the window, and then closed the curtains.

Not long after, this small wooden house in the snowy mountains disappeared, but it did not cause any panic in this sparsely populated mountain village, as if the people living here were used to it.

==================================================

"I don't like the sculpture on the bow." Georgiana looked back at Pierre Le Marchand, the president of the Rouen Chamber of Commerce, and said, "How about changing it to a unicorn?"

"Unicorn?" Le Marchant asked curiously.

"I like unicorns." Georgiana said with a mysterious smile, then looked up at the cruise ship.

Ask every Scot who hates unicorns?

Then, surrounded by everyone, she walked along the boarding steps to the ship.

"Georgiana!" Lord Henry Petty greeted her enthusiastically as soon as he saw her.

Her fellow Englishmen were on board, including several Royal Navy sailors.

Her eyesight was good, and she could see several ships sailing on the sea outside Rouen Port from a distance, which looked very much like warships.

Napoleon was the kind of person who could prepare the whole of Europe for war just by propping up his gray tuxedo with wooden sticks. What's more, he was in a military parade now. What if he suddenly let those soldiers board the ship?

"Henry." Georgiana greeted him with a fake smile.

Then the Lord, who had not yet inherited the title of Marquis, began to introduce the representatives of the British side, and Georgiana inexplicably remembered the scene of signing the contract on the warship.

If there was a camera at this time, it might be able to record historical images. What else could she say besides "Wow".

The ship given to her by Napoleon was arranged as a welcome party. After the dignitaries had all boarded the ship, the sailors lowered the sails and they were going to take a trip around the open sea.

It was then that the main event came. Le Marchand took a particularly delicate wooden box and opened it in front of everyone. On the black velvet was a platinum diamond and pearl necklace. The platinum necklace was made into a shape similar to a leaf.

, the pearl in the middle is particularly large, and it is worth a lot at first glance, but Georgiana never believes that it is the one Cleopatra and Antony made a bet on, and did not dissolve it with vinegar.

The diamonds reflected the sunlight on the sea, changing into a thousand colors, and spread out in all directions with such majestic momentum that all the female relatives who were watching screamed in surprise.

Le Marchant then began to tell the story about Cleopatra, and also praised Georgiana's beauty with pearls and Cupid.

He should have prepared this a long time ago, it was done in one go.

Napoleoni had specifically mentioned this pearl the night before. The gift was so valuable that it could almost be understood as bribery. It was up to Georgiana to decide whether to accept it or not.

In fact, Napoleoni himself also collected many Arabian thoroughbred horses, and he also had many expensive things. Has anyone accused the First Consul of accepting bribes?

As soon as Le Marchant finished speaking, Henry Petty asked someone to bring out a wooden box of about the same size. This box looked much simpler, and it didn't shine brightly after opening it. Inside was a very retro style hanging box.

A gold necklace with Egypt's famous turquoise on it.

"This is an imitation of Ilulian-style jewelry design." Henry Petty explained to Georgiana like a jewelry merchant. "With the excavation of Pompeii ruins, I heard that this retro style has become popular in the jewelry industry.

Jewelry, I hope it matches your dress."

"Thank you." Georgiana took the jewelry box handed over by Henry Petty, and then asked Alice to put away another jewelry box containing pearls.

In addition to the battlefield filled with smoke, fighting for wealth is also a battlefield where the smoke is invisible in social situations.

It seems tacky that Grassini wears all the jewelry on her body, but who supports her? Who has so much money to afford her such jewelry?

It is not easy to be a spotless white lily in Vanity Fair. When Georgiana received the gift, Madame du Barry's "Wait a minute" kept echoing in her mind.

In front of so many people, she definitely couldn't refuse gifts from both parties. Sometimes a man's face is more important than their life.

After accepting their things, you must give them something back. This is the most basic social etiquette.

When the fight for wealth reaches a certain level, it is about comparing culture. Whether you are really literate or not, you will win if you show it to others and make it appear that the other person is ignorant and ignorant. This has nothing to do with elegance or character. This is the most scary situation.

Others call it "fake", buy a fake famous painting and show it off in public, and eventually it is exposed in public. At that time, even friends will become enemies.

Be frugal at home and be dignified when out. This is Napoleoni's style. Georgiana must cooperate with him, and of course she must dress gracefully and luxuriously. Whether it is a gold or platinum necklace, it will complement her dress. The problem is that she

It is impossible to bring two necklaces.

There is a reason why high-end clothes are expensive, both in terms of workmanship and materials.

On the contrary, ready-made garments are the bulk of the harvest.

The clothes of the upper class are often a little outdated. People in this class hope that they can stay in this class "forever" and they don't like change.

You can never catch up with the fashion. The designer's concept is in the head. Just look at the women who are gleaning wheat ears in the wheat fields. In order to put on those clothes, they not only go hungry, but also go hungry.

Georgiana wouldn't let her wear a tight suit that could be used as a murder tool.

What kind of woman doesn't wear a corset? A prostitute. The common lace underwear promoted by Georgiana in the 21st century is only popular among some special groups. Between breathing air and morality freely, she chose to breathe freely.
