Chapter 2049 "Watchtower" (7)

When she was about to reach the edge of the stage, Georgiana took out the Golden Snitch again.

Its appearance is no different from the golden snitch in Harry Potter who hides the resurrection ring. This item is used to replace the golden snitch, a bird that is about to become extinct.

It is very fast and agile, which is more than enough if it is just to avoid natural enemies, but wizards like to chase them on their broomsticks.

So what is the difference between the "fittest" and the "strong"?

She clenched her fists and put away the golden snitch, then looked up at the woman in the velvet cloak who took off the hood on her head.

"Good day, madam," the woman said in French.

"Who are you?" Georgiana looked at her and asked suspiciously. She thought it was Lufkin, the British female minister of magic.

"You can call me Cassandra," the woman said.

She was stunned for a moment.

"You are from that family of prophets..."

"I have a question for you." Cassandra said. "In about 13 years, the world will experience a catastrophe and people will face food shortages again. Will you use magic to help them?"

Georgiana's eyes widened.

"What kind of catastrophe is it?" she asked after a while.

Cassandra raised her head and glanced at the sky, then looked at Georgiana.

"Have you ever heard of the Ten Tribulations of Egypt? Suddenly one day, the sky in Egypt became pitch black, and people were as blind as they could not see. They could only light lamps for illumination. The disasters they experienced at that time would have been much longer."

Georgiana immediately thought of volcanic eruptions. She remembered that there was a Chinese wizard who once specialized in studying volcanic activity. Icelandic volcanoes erupted before the French Revolution.

But the volcanic ash at that time did not darken the sky. The last time it reached this level was during the Plague of Justinian. The sun had no temperature in the volcanic ash and could only bring some light.

"I've heard." She said calmly, "Are you going to announce the doomsday prophecy again?"

"I thought you would care about another condition." Cassandra said, "You still have 13 years."

She sneered, "It sounds like a countdown."

"Many people have asked me how long they can live. Do you think I should tell them?" Cassandra asked.

Georgiana made no answer.

"If I'm not accurate, they won't believe what I'm saying. If I'm accurate, they will live counting the days. This feeling is actually very uncomfortable." Cassandra said, "Just like I just told you.

Yes, 13 years.”

"What do you want to say?" Georgiana asked patiently.

"Are you sure you want to continue the beer business? It needs to be brewed with grain." Cassandra said, "I remember you had proposed setting up a safety grain reserve before."

"That takes money," Georgiana said, "and we still have 13 years."

"It may not be as long as you think. There will be a famine next year."

"Nonsense." Georgiana immediately scolded her, "How could there be famine for three consecutive years?"

"I didn't say France, it could be another country." Cassandra said, "Have you heard of Erasmus Darwin?"

"I've heard a little bit about it," said Georgiana.

"He proposed systematizing agriculture and gardening, which means you shouldn't confuse agriculture and gardening," Cassandra said.

Georgiana felt a little offended, but not too angry.

Because Cassandra is telling the truth.

Her vegetable garden only provides vegetables needed for Hogwarts, and grains and potatoes are bought from outside.

"He believes that grains should be used to make bread, not wine, and alcoholism is also a major cause of riots." Cassandra said, "I think you understand what I'm talking about."

Georgiana made no answer.

"Plants, insects, animals, humans and human knowledge are all interconnected and part of a nature that is constantly rolling and progressing. A South American butterfly flapping its wings will cause a storm. Please face this fragility and strength."

After Kassandra finished speaking, she put her hood back on and seemed to be planning to leave.

"I met someone." Georgiana asked before Cassandra left, "Can you tell me if my fate and hers will have an unusual intersection?"

Cassandra didn't answer Georgiana immediately.

"Or do I need to pay a fee if I want to ask you to tell my fortune?" Georgiana asked.

"Personal sorrow and despair have no effect in that dark winter, and God will not hear it." Kassandra said with compassion, "Have you ever thought about how much more those soldiers would have consumed if they had not participated in the war?

food?"

Georgiana was shocked.

"When people are hungry, they will eat dog food. If you really feel that what you bring is goodwill and peace, then think carefully about how to fill these people's bellies, and whether it is necessary to make wine." Kashan

Della said calmly.

"Why don't you say something nice?" Georgiana said impatiently.

"What?"

"I have seen a similar prophet. He said that the prophecy only told part of it, the part that was beneficial to him." Georgiana said, "Do you know how much people today need hope and happiness?"

"Would you like to have fun now, or starve to death with regret later?"

"If people don't love that school, they won't risk their lives to protect it. The short-term pain is just a moment. If you tell someone your death date thirty years in advance, he will count the days in the next thirty years. Then

That’s what’s uncomfortable.”

"Thirteen years," Cassandra corrected.

"Well, the world will end in thirteen years. There will always be a place to escape the catastrophe, otherwise I would not exist." Georgiana waved her hands and said with some excitement, "Humanity will get through it."

Cassandra looked at her and didn't answer.

"Say it straight away, don't hesitate." Georgiana complained.

"You know Napoleon is dead, right?" Cassandra said, "What do you think this world is?"

Georgiana made no answer.

"This world has many similarities with the world you live in, but it is different. Its lifespan is not as long as you think. After the catastrophe, most of the 'spirits' will readjust, and only Earl is left.

Ba Island, where Napoleon is, is 'normal'. You can think of it as Noah's Ark." Cassandra said, "You will be the last survivors."

"This is ridiculous." Georgiana put her hands on her hips and moved back and forth uneasily.

"Imagine, when the end of the world comes, who will have the highest priority to survive? Those who are young and have scientific talents and smart minds, right? Because they have enough power to rebuild the world."

"I believe Louis XVIII can do it..."

"You don't want to help them, do you?" Cassandra said suddenly.

"The prophet I know, he wants to lead the wizards to prevent Muggles from destroying the world. Everyone has a predetermined destiny. I don't know how to use magic..."

"You want to play and have fun," Cassandra said. "You don't want to shoulder those heavy responsibilities."

"I'm just not that overestimated." Georgiana sneered and said, "It's better to let superheroes do things like save the world."

"You abide by international confidentiality laws, really because you are a person who abides by order?" Cassandra said.

"I don't understand you."

"You are a negative person, even if you pretend to be positive," Cassandra said. "Your happiness is false."

Georgiana had a cold face.

"Do you know how to make yourself really happy? Pomona." Cassandra asked, then turned and left.

"Wait!" Georgiana chased after her, but Cassandra disappeared behind the stage.

Then she noticed a gold-plated pocket watch hanging on a log.

She took off the pocket watch. She didn't know if it was broken or if it was done intentionally. The watch rotated backwards, looking like a countdown timer, and made a slight "tick-tick-tick" sound.

In 1816, about 200,000 people died in one section of Europe, and about 2 million people died in the Napoleonic Wars.

If there was no Napoleonic War, then the two million people would have to share the limited food equally, plus the part consumed in brewing...

When the Black Death came, a large number of people died so that people in the Little Ice Age could share food rations with fewer people, and because of the decrease in population, wages increased.

Sometimes the results of good intentions may not necessarily be good.

When the "doomsday" comes, some people choose not to care about so many things and enjoy themselves in the moment

In addition to the theory of evolution, there is also the theory of catastrophe. The eliminated dinosaurs were preserved as fossils, and the Creator created new species to restore life to the earth.

So, what is the first thing you do when the end comes? Go to the bank to withdraw money?
