Chapter 2621 partake (thirteen)

In 52 BC, Paris was still called Lucotecia. After Caesar arrived, he renamed the place Lutecia, which is close to the Latin lutum, which is mud, or the Gaulish luto.

That is, a swamp. This city was born from a swamp.

Before the Romans came, there were no land routes here at all. Most of the houses of the Gauls were built in hidden forests or rivers. The river was their transportation. Whether it was a dangerous swamp or a dense forest, it was very important to live nearby.

For many people, these places are familiar to them, but they are Roman legions coming from afar. The difficult-to-identify roads in the dense forest do not allow large groups of people to enter.

The ancient Roman legions have always been famous for their phalanxes composed of tight formations. Letting the legionnaires go into the forest cannot give full play to their advantages. On the contrary, the Gauls can rely on them after harassing and plundering the Roman soldiers.

Escape to the forest or valley, and then find another place to hide overnight.

But the Gauls were not monolithic. Caesar took advantage of the contradictions among the Gauls and the urban life to attract a group of defectors and encircled and suppressed other surrounding tribes.

The Romans brought roads, baths, opera houses, and the Colosseum. Lutetia gradually turned into a city that was highly assimilated by the Romans and became the Rome of Gaul. Different from Rome, which performed bloody dramas every day,

Either the blood of the gladiators in the Colosseum, or the blood of politicians like Caesar, it was unexpectedly peaceful here, even though it was difficult for the Roman residents in the city to adapt to the muddy and unsteady swamp.

The ground in Rome was solid, the Mediterranean climate was always warm, and it didn't even snow in winter.

But here there are rough Gauls and harsh winters. The river water will freeze like marble slabs. In order not to freeze to death in this damn weather, the Romans lit many open-air braziers.

There was a Roman governor who lit a brazier but closed the doors and windows, as if he thought it would make the room warmer. This caused him to almost suffocate to death. Fortunately, he yelled before falling into coma, and the slaves hurriedly rescued him.

After being carried to the yard, the fresh air revived him, but he didn't know that it was the still smoking charcoal that almost killed him.

Even if the open fire has been extinguished, sparks can still be fatal. Gaul is filled with a large number of Franks, Goths, and Romans. From beginning to end, they have a contemptuous attitude towards the tribes who lack the sense of citizenship and live on the other side of the Rhine. Although they

It also has excellent civilization, but it is still regarded as an uncivilized land.

The construction of the magnificent Rome required a large number of slaves and wealth, which led to a bad relationship between Rome and the surrounding "barbarians". In 410 AD, the Visigoths invaded the city of Rome and opened the city with the help of slaves in the city.

The city gates were plundered and then the Visigothic Kingdom was established in the Western Roman Empire.

Another 66 years later, the Germans, the leaders of Roman mercenaries, deposed the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire. The Western Roman Empire fell and Western Europe entered the so-called era of barbarian rule. The towns built by the Romans were owned by the barbarians.

These barbarian rulers were not good at managing the city. The roads in the city were as muddy as in ancient times, and the sewage had not improved. With the increasing population concentration, the Eastern Roman Empire still maintained a certain degree of prosperity and integrity.

But they were not enjoying peace. Even if Attila left, there were still Persians. When Western Rome fell into chaos, the Eastern Roman Empire had no time to take care of itself. However, fighting on the vast plains, the "barbarians" relied on the strength of forests and terrain.

The fighting method was useless. Compared with the threat of barbarians, the Eastern Romans were more afraid of other things.

In the history written by Byzantine scholars, the people of the Eastern Roman Empire at that time had no idea about the island of Britain. They only knew that its land was roughly triangular, covered with rivers and bushes, and was similar to what it was before Caesar conquered Gaul.

big.

According to the records of "History of England" and Hume's discussion, the British people at that time were recovering from their injuries and were nomadic. They wore animal skins as clothing and hid in the woods. Their lives were turbulent and they did not know the exquisite life. Their needs and wealth were all at a loss.

Very crude.

The Druids hold great power. In addition to presiding over sacrificial ceremonies and guiding religious affairs, they also control the educational rights of young people.

They will tell these young children that once they violate the teachings, they will be punished. Violators will be expelled from the church, that is, they will be excluded from public sacrifices and banquets, and those who come into contact with them will also be stigmatized.

, and was therefore abandoned by his own clan. He was no longer protected and lived in misery and humiliation. Only death could free him.

This means that he will return to the arms of the god Dis, even though it is not "heaven".

Kant once published a short article in the "Berlin Monthly" entitled "What is Enlightenment?".

Kant believes that enlightenment is the escape of human beings from the immature state imposed on themselves. The immature state does not lie in the lack of reason, but in the lack of courage and determination to use one's own reason without the guidance of others. You must have the courage to use your own reason.

, this is the slogan of the Enlightenment.

This is also the pity of Harry Potter. Since he can muster the courage to rush to death when being "guided" by others, why can't he have the courage to use his own reason to judge?

But Harry was guided by Albus himself, plus Snape.

When she mentioned the Pantheon, she thought of Voltaire. In Voltaire's "On Customs", she mentioned a passage. The Quran admits that angels and devils originated from the ancient Persians. They came from these monks and their divination.

In the teachings of Naiti, Muhammad got the idea of ​​heaven.

Zhaniti is "heaven" in Arabic, and it is the paradise after death. Resurrected people have complete faculties here, and they use these faculties to enjoy all kinds of happiness.

This is the biggest difference between the ghosts of this world and the ghosts of Hogwarts. They also have various feelings, although not everyone is happy.

However, this is not a real paradise after all, but an "artificial paradise", and it is inevitable to have shortcomings.

She was almost lost in it, just like everyone else. Although in the Greek opera, Medea said that women's misfortune lies in living for love, both Queenie and Irene followed their Muggle husbands to Muggles.

Gua women don’t want to live in a place.

She is not that great, the banquet will always end, and some guests will even leave early before the end of the song, so she no longer "participates".

She blessed Bonaparte and hoped that he could find a better girl than her next time, because she was still influenced by the Slytherin from the mire after all.

She is no longer "guiltless", and she probably won't be able to go to heaven, even if it is a man-made one.

As for where to go, I hope I can go to Limbo in the future and be with Albus.
