Chapter 1931 Thirteen Under the Lion's Claw
Chapter 1933 Under the Lion’s Claw (15)
Although wizards do not have as many red tapes as nobles, there are some etiquette that must be followed.
If Muggles like to put gold, silver, jewelry and other burial objects in coffins to be buried with them, then wands will be buried with wizards.
Even for dark wizards, it is very rude to open their coffins casually, and dark magical creatures such as the Inferi have to dig their graves. Sometimes dark wizards will place some vicious restrictions on their own graves to prevent them from being killed after death.
Revenge of enemies, etc. In short, digging graves is a taboo, and only dark wizards who have no taboo do it.
Surgery is already very common in Muggle medicine, and scenes of disembowelment have long been commonplace, but in St. Mungo's, the introduction of Muggle medicine has just begun. Many wizards, including two friends from the Muggle world, Luo
Endu could not accept the "treatment" method of Muggles. In addition, there was the problem of in vitro fertilization. The population problem faced by wizards was even more severe than that of Muggles. However, wizards headed by Dumbledore banned this technology among wizards.
Use. If time travel makes some children who should be born become unborn, then in vitro fertilization will give birth to children who should not be born. The children born at the end of July will not just be Harry and Neville.
Wizards' customs are difficult to understand for some Muggles and Muggleborns, and may even be pedantic and dogmatic, but this is caused by isolation.
In the 20th century, slavery no longer existed on a large scale in the Muggle world, at least not in the UK. Hermione saw the existence of house elves among wizards and couldn't believe it. With her kindness and compassion, she wanted to liberate these people.
House elves, but the house elves didn't appreciate it and didn't even clean the Gryffindor lounge. Only the "free" house elf Dobby would help clean it up.
There are many places where the culture and customs are completely different from the environment in which you grew up. If you rush to use "liberation" to break the other party's social structure, even if you think you are representing an advanced civilization, you will still attract resistance.
Napoleon demolished the city walls in Cairo, which affected the interests of the local people. This is difficult for modern people to understand. Now the city has become so open that the city entry tax is waived. Tourist cities like Venice need to reinstate the city entry tax.
It’s hard to accept that there are actually charges for crossing different districts in a big city? However, this was a very common phenomenon in medieval or feudal society.
Class barriers are not just invisible barriers to wealth. Rich areas and poor areas are obviously very different. Why would a poor guy go to a rich area if he has nothing to do?
Similarly, rich people will not go to places where poor people gather. The signing of the "Peace of Amiens" represented the end of the French Revolution, but many problems are still unresolved. The Chateau de Chantilly where Severus is now was once the largest horse farm in France.
, once belonged to the Condé family, in the 20th century it belonged to the Institut de France, and contained a collection of art no less than that of the Louvre.
During the Revolution, the great castle was looted and destroyed, and was not rebuilt until 1870. When Cardinal Richelieu demolished the castles of the nobles, he also demolished their stud farms. However, the Condé family was not demolished because of its privileges. Chandy
There is a large stable in the Château de Y, where many of the horses used by the Saint-Germain-en-Laye cavalry school were trained.
The castle has a geometric garden, its designer was the same person as the designer of the Versailles Garden, and the water systems are also fountains.
Its wide lawns and terrain are very suitable for horse racing. It does not require thousands of horses. When hundreds of horses are running, the sound of hoofbeats is like thunder. They have to face the Mamluks coming in waves like waves.
It takes courage for the soldiers in the square formation to remain calm.
Napoleon was the kind of commander who climbed up from the grassroots level, and did not obtain his official position through hereditary. Likewise, he was not the kind of hereditary monarch. No one doubted their authority, even though King George once stood up for the South China Sea Company and transferred countless shareholders to
Cheated to the point of bankruptcy.
He can't make mistakes. The consequences of making mistakes are terrible. Look at the main castle. It used to be quite large, but it has turned into ruins.
The church doesn't just have corrupt priests, or people who burn books in Florence. First of all, Christianity is a spiritual sect. They have to get up before the rooster crows, and the assistants have to get up earlier to prepare the altar for morning worship.
Take St. Hyperion Theological Seminary as an example. They have to receive Holy Communion five times a day. Ordinary people only receive it once a week. They have to stop and pray every minute or half an hour. Strict discipline is a kind of practice. If the military academy exercises
body, then seminary is the training of willpower.
Talleyrand couldn't stand that kind of life at all, and he started running out to hunt for women early on, and the priests couldn't control him.
Even a greenhouse would have some gaps to let the wind from outside blow in. The nephew of the archbishop, a noble son destined to be a high-ranking official in the church, brought the privileges of relaxation and freedom into the seminary. During the holidays, everyone competed in dressing up, and they were so happy.
When it comes to dancing, the priests can't just turn a blind eye.
Theological students were very concerned about their hairstyles. By Talleyrand's time, priests no longer wore hairstyles with a piece missing in the middle like they did in the Middle Ages. They often found first-class hairstylists to take care of their hair.
They are the only ones in the monotonous and lack of vitality monastery who can make their own decisions in dressing up.
Since the signing of the new political-religious agreement, the seminary is no longer a school for learning knowledge, but a training school. Its purpose is not to cultivate scholars, but to cultivate devout priests. Compared with other schools that cultivate practical talents, meditation and prayer can make money.
What’s the use of being proficient in rhetoric?
Someone put a slogan on the door of the Tuileries Palace, saying that the silence of the people is a lesson to the king.
Later, someone posted a slogan like this on the street lamp: Don't think that years of slavery have turned us into timid and docile people. Our blood, our youth and the beauty of our women belong to us.
In "Troilus and Cressida", Shakespeare has Ulysses say these words:
There is a mystery in the soul of a nation, and its workings are divine and greater than any words can express.
Liberty, equality, and fraternity have been integrated into the soul of France. Even the king cannot completely ignore public opinion and act according to his own wishes. James II, known as the tyrant, went into exile in France and was received by Louis XIV.
, the "poor king" heard the choir singing during a mass, "Our inheritance belongs to strangers, and the crown falls from our heads", so James II fell to the ground motionless, but he did not die.
, he just had a stroke, and Louis XIV arranged treatment for him.
Witches who serve the king receive the titles of duke and marquis, and the king also gives them some benefits. Although France prohibits witch hunting because of its monarchy,...
Not long after James II returned to Saint-Germain-en-Laye, he suffered another stroke. He almost completely lost consciousness, which marked the beginning of the end.
He has two children who can inherit the throne, one is the 13-year-old old tyrant, and the other is Princess Louise who was born in France. Many British people are interested in that boy, hoping that he can succeed William III instead of the mediocre Anne and
Her uncontroversial husband.
Of course, the king can interfere with the succession rights of other kings, provided that he has sufficient prestige and strength. Louis XIV can "deal with" the Prince of Wales, support the children of James II, and become a puppet of the French court. However, Louis XIV can
The "Treaty of Ryswick" signed before the 14th century recognized William of Orange as the King of England. William III's subsequent performance consolidated his rule. Why did Louis XIV violate this treaty?
The Congress of Vienna attempted to restore Europe to the old order, but it was clear that there was no going back.
Most of the land that Louis XIV expanded came from the Habsburg family. Although the rulers of the Habsburg family were close to the limit of their tolerance for France at that time, they did not dare to openly reject France's demands due to limited national power.
There is a cartoon in which a plump British woman is being kissed by a French soldier. She cannot refuse, even though she knows he does not mean it.
Louis XIV once said: I am the country.
Napoleon Bonaparte also said something when he was imprisoned on St. Helena Island. It is no longer possible to verify whether it was made up by his entourage, or whether he said it when he was conscious, or whether he said it to relieve the depression of being detained.
Yes, what he said is: I am the revolution.
Severus refused to allow Gongsey to board the ship, firstly because the ship could only carry two people. Although Kreacher was a test subject in Voldemort's eyes, before the rules of magic, he and Voldemort were equal.
Maybe even higher, because Kreacher's soul is intact.
That boat might not be able to carry three people, and wouldn't leaving Gong Seyi on the shore serve another purpose?
Sometimes I believe that a person cannot listen to what he says or even what he does.
Perhaps this is the reason why Saint-Domingue first established a constitution and then declared independence. Europeans have betrayed their trust so many times that they dare not believe it casually.
Curiosity is the driving force for human progress, but didn't Pandora open the magic box because of curiosity?
Although Napoleon is dead, his ideas have remained and have become an doctrine.
Similarly, even after Grindelwald died, some of his ideas were still recognized by others. These Grindelwald believers would not allow the Wizards' Union to dig up his grave.
Even a has-been idol like Elvis Presley is still liked by some people.
Severus knew that Pomona had never given up on abolishing slavery and eliminating inequality, although she seemed to have compromised.
Being a pioneer of the times does not necessarily mean that you will be like George Washington, and you may also be caught in the claws of a lion.
As a woman, why would she interfere in that issue?
Severus took a sip of firewhiskey brought from another world to ward off the cold, and then stood up again.
He wanted to save her before she took her own life. She almost died once. He didn't know if she would be so lucky next time.
