Chapter 2706 The Land of Firebirds (14)

Georgiana heard a pitiful cry.

When she opened the door of the room where Mango was staying, she found that two little girls of similar age were holding on to the few remaining tail feathers called "strings" on his tail through the cage. They were having a great time.

He didn't even notice Georgiana coming in.

Georgiana knew one of these two girls, who was the adopted daughter of the former Duchess of Alba.

"What are you doing!" Georgiana said angrily, "Don't you see it screaming in pain!"

When the two girls heard this, they immediately stood next to each other and clasped their hands together. They were so well-behaved that they seemed to have nothing to do with the naughty guy just now.

Only then did Georgiana notice that she didn't seem to have arranged for anyone to take care of Mango. According to her usual understanding, pets should be taken care of by themselves.

But that was at Hogwarts. According to the provisions of the International Statute of Secrecy, wizards must hide magical animals in their area. Newt failed to do so, even though he followed the prescribed procedures and took a boat to the United States.

"Charlotte! Where are you?" A woman shouted anxiously.

The other girl looked like she wanted to agree, but she looked at Georgiana cautiously and didn't dare to answer.

"Here she is!" shouted Georgiana.

Soon there were rapid footsteps behind her.

"Oh, my God, you're actually here!" the woman said anxiously, "If I don't find you again, I'm going to call the police."

"Are the Brussels police officers free now?" Georgiana turned to look at her.

The woman, who was wearing a black hat and looked like a black-capped chickadee, recognized Georgiana, and she quickly curtsied.

This is the difference between adults and children. Charlotte obviously didn't recognize the identity of this girl who was about her own age, so they could play together easily.

"What is it called?" asked Marie, the adopted daughter of the Duchess of Alba.

"It's called Mango." Georgiana opened the cage and released the tortured bird. "But its scientific name is Seleucidis melanoleuca."

"What does that mean?" Charlotte asked.

"Pay attention to your etiquette." the middle-aged woman reminded.

"You can call him the Twelve-string Bird of Paradise, or Eleven-string, if you take off its tail feathers." Georgiana carefully inspected Mango's tail, and it seemed that its tail feathers were sparser.

"No, we didn't," Mary said.

Every time Georgiana saw this dark-skinned girl, she felt like she was seeing Rita Lestrange, because they both had similar eyes. But after talking to Mary, she felt that Mary was indeed still

A child.

"You can play with the mango, but you can't torture it. What you just did to it doesn't find it interesting at all." Georgiana said, "Do you know about the Eurasian wolf?"

The two girls shook their heads together.

"Maybe next time, you can go to the museum to play together." Georgiana said sternly, "In addition to etiquette, you also need to learn knowledge and civilization..."

"The Eurasian wolf, also known as the common wolf." A man's voice came from the door, "Because it is very common, it is called the common wolf."

"That's my husband." The woman said immediately.

"I know you." Georgiana looked at the man at the door. "You are Guillaume Fabolt, a high-ranking official in the province of Skeldt."

"It's my pleasure, madam." Fabolte nodded towards her.

Then she turned to look at the middle-aged woman, "So you are Mrs. and Miss Fabolt."

"No, my last name is Lyle," Charlotte said.

Just as Georgiana was trying to figure out the relationship between the family, Fabolte was at the door and said, "I really want to know what you are going to say next. Please continue, madam."

“Common wolves are common because of their large numbers,” Georgiana said. “But because they attack sheep, King Edward I of England ordered the extermination of these predators, so that in Belgium, this common wolf is almost extinct.

.”

"Why can the King of England give orders to the Belgians?" Charlotte asked.

"Because sheep can produce wool." Georgiana said with a smile, "Sheep were extremely valuable at that time."

"Isn't it a good thing that there are no more wolves?" Mary asked. "They are evil."

What Georgiana wanted to say was that because the king ordered wolf hunting, hunting, an "entertainment activity" that was originally only available to nobles, now allowed even farmers to participate. They thought it was very interesting, and they even raised dogs in order to hunt wolves efficiently.

.

No one would sit back and watch his family being destroyed without taking any action. Even if he couldn't run away, he would let his wife and children escape, so the farmers released their dogs and hunted the "wizards" like wolves.

They must run, whether it is in the muddy land soaked by heavy rain, or in the forest. If they are unlucky, the small bridge they have crossed countless times is washed away by the flood, or they trip on the roots of a tree and break it.

Broken legs...

'Have you ever had unexplainable things happen around you since you were a child, especially when you felt angry or scared?'

'Do you want revenge? Or hurt your pursuers like they hurt you?'

Some people will tell you, don’t hate those who hurt you. You should leave your revenge to God. People who do evil will go to hell and be punished with various tortures.

But they also said that the saints have accumulated too much good deeds, and apart from using them to go to heaven, they still have the rest in the "warehouse".

If you don't kill and hate those who hurt you, you are not qualified to live. Think about what will happen to your mother if they catch her? And the only thing you can rely on now is yourself.

But you don't have enough power to deal with so many people. You need more power. It's not just making things shake like you usually do to prank or scare people, but it's like shaking the mountain like an earthquake.

Hagrid said to Harry that if you can be educated properly, you will become a "good wizard".

He didn't talk about the other side, such as the consequences of not receiving a proper education or having no guidance at all.

If you are lucky, this may be a magic riot; if you are unlucky, you will be parasitized by the power of darkness and become the Obscurus.

It allows you to have great power in a short period of time, but it also means that your lifespan is reduced. This is also a problem faced by many dark wizards, but they are not like the Obscurial who cannot live past 10 years old.

There are indeed dark wizards who enjoy causing chaos and will burn down a Muggle village just because they want to experiment with the power of spells.

In addition, some wizards tried to prevent them from abusing magic, which resulted in wizard duels recorded in the books Pomona had read.

Rita Keist wrote an article about Severus Snape titled "Sinner or Saint?".

This topic is too heavy, maybe it's just that being a "love saint" is much easier for him.

"You just need to know not to hurt the other person just because it is weak," Fabolte said.

"But wolves are not weak." Mary said, "I saw that Gevaudan beast in the museum."

"You knew it had fangs, but you still bullied it?" Fabolte said.

Mary was a little unconvinced and stared at the fat bird Mango, as if silently saying that it was not a wolf.

"Do you think the Gevaudan is a wolf?" Georgiana asked.

"How else could it be something else?" Mary asked.

"How about the werewolf?" Georgiana asked lightly.

Mary looked at her in shock.

Georgiana knelt down and looked directly at Mary.

"You are still young, it is not your turn to identify what evil is?"

"But everyone says..."

"Everyone used to say that the earth was flat. Is that correct?" Georgiana interrupted her.

Rita...no, it was Mary who was so dissatisfied that she bowed to Georgiana, then turned and left.

At this time, she looked quite like the adopted daughter of the Duchess of Alba, and did not try to minimize her presence as she usually did in social activities.

After she left, only Fabolte's family was left with Georgiana.

"You are right," Fabolte whispered. "It is too early for them to talk about evil."

Georgiana had other things on her mind.

"It is also unwise to anger the whole town. I saw it before when I was in Genoa. The patriots did not collude before taking action. They just saw the tricolor flag and followed it to the arsenal." Fabolte said.

Georgiana stared at him.

Originally, Georgiana felt that the senior officials of the Scheldt were too meddlesome in Brussels affairs, but Bonaparte liked him quite a lot, and they talked and laughed together last time they visited the market in Ghent.

"You said you've been to Genoa?"

"I was the consul there," Fabolte said.

"Tell me about the local customs and customs." Georgiana smiled and said, "The sea there is also blue?"

"At least it's not as dark as the North Sea." Fabolte said, "And it's not that cold either. You can swim in the sea even in winter."

She savored the meaning of this sentence.

"Let's go for a walk." Fabolte said. "It's time to show you something."

Georgiana was surprised. She looked back at the "mother and daughter".

"Charlotte is my niece, we adopted her," Fabolte said.

"Are they coming with us too?" asked Georgiana.

"Yes," said Madame Fabolt.

Georgiana looked at her expression as if she knew some secret that even Georgiana didn't know.

"The First Consul arrived in Brussels before you. He made all arrangements. The arsenal has been moved. They went to the original place and found nothing," Fabolte said.

"You mean, the arsenal is here?" Georgiana asked.

Fabolte smiled.

"You'll find out later."
