Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2228 The Battle of Flowers (One Hundred and Thirty Seven)

The Russians also play Quidditch, but they can stop playing at any time, because it's an outdoor sport, considering their cold and windy weather all year round, and the various rules of the International Statute of Secrecy, for the sake of Don't let Muggles see that they're going to remote places, like Siberia, so they won't be very interested in playing Quidditch by themselves.

Muggle politics affects the wizarding world to a certain extent. The Quidditch World Cup in 1809 was a game between New Spain and Romania, and New Spain is the future Mexico. It is not yet independent, but they have formed a national Quidditch team. Participate in international competitions.

Similarly, there was no Ministry of Magic in Egypt. This was another topic of discussion at the summit. Egyptian wizards would use curses in their tombs, which was one of the anti-theft measures, and tomb robbers would trigger these curses when they entered the tomb and robbed the tomb. Doing it is considered a violation of international secrecy laws.

   In addition, Egyptian wizards like to use flying carpets instead of brooms. Of course, their Quidditch has not been promoted. Whether or not to include flying carpets in the Register of Prohibited Magical Items has become the focus of the "war".

  The entire Persian cultural circle, including India, Bangladesh, and Mongolia, use flying carpets. There is a kind of golden fleece in ancient Greek mythology. The wool of this sheep is pure gold, and it can fly. It was a gift from Nephele, the cloud god, from Hermes, the **** of undead.

  There is a kind of sheep in the mountains of the Mughal Empire. Although its wool is not pure gold, it has the ability to fly. People cut the wool and send it to Lahore to weave it into a flying carpet. The breeding of this sheep has always been a secret, and the flying carpet trade has always been monopolized in the hands of the shamans of the Mughal Empire.

To put it another way, if the Egyptian wizards switched to flying broomsticks instead of flying carpets, and France also had broomstick manufacturers, Lestrange and Malfoy were arguing about how to divide this trade share, even if they were pure blood families, they must be There was a degree of marriage, and Lestrange took refuge in England during the French Revolution.

  Malfoy is good at using money, and they also need to have income, in this case a few purgers are not the focus of Septimus.

   This is the same as pure blood was once a staunch opponent of international secrecy law. Later, they found that the general trend was irreversible, and they could obtain benefits from other places, so they became supporters of international secrecy law.

  In 1692, the Spanish Empire was the center of the entire Christian world, and even King Louis XIV of France had to learn the etiquette of the Spanish court. The discovery of the new route was related to Zheng He’s massive purchase of pepper and other goods, which caused the price of spices to skyrocket, and the gold and silver coins in the pockets of European nobles were emptied. Of course, the Spaniards who could get gold and silver were surrounded by them to sell goods.

   Spain also has the Inquisition, and many Spanish witches and wizards go to the French Academy of Magic at Beauxbatons in the Pyrenees.

  France has its own special historical reasons. After all, no king dared to kidnap the Pope to Avignon like the French king.

  With the completion of Versailles, many Spanish nobles also went to the Palace of Versailles, bringing French architecture, clothing and food to Spain. This ethos is undoubtedly contrary to the teachings of Christianity, but the king does not want to suppress the rebellious nobles like the "Frocks" anymore.

There are many people who think that Napoleon was profligate, and his generals followed suit, but after careful observation, you will find that he will not treat those who serve him badly. After the wealth is absorbed, it is distributed to those generals in the form of high annual salary. As long as they compare their annual salary with that of other people working in the capital, they will not feel that their annual salary is less. Coupled with the plunder of war, these generals are also rich enough to buy those luxurious palaces that only the royal family could live in in the past.

   They were inevitably surrounded by beautiful, profligate women like Madame Duchatel, the Duke of York's mistress who made money by buying and selling naval offices.

   But men wouldn’t push away beautiful women who wanted to approach them. It was thanks to the people around him that Georgina was able to approach Bonaparte smoothly. They took the initiative to make way for her. Only Josephine would organize a "Wall of People" to isolate those women. Georgiana's solution is to do it herself, after all, she doesn't have that many female companions.

   That is a bottomless pit, is a horse worth hundreds of thousands of francs? If it was a stallion, Georgiana would pay for it, but not if it was a gelding to pull the cart.

Georgina took Bonaparte to see Pegasus, and after feeding them two barrels of whisky, he told her that William Pitt Jr. had shipped 20 million Spanish silver coins to the West Indies in preparation for the next South American development plan. It's not all about buying neutrals.

  In the first stage of the development of the New World, New York once made a fortune as a base for supplying flour to the British Navy, which was targeting the Caribbean at that time.

  The United States is now independent, and it is not so suitable to continue to obtain supplies from the United States. Barbados and Cuba can be used as alternative supply locations. Relatively speaking, France suffered a big loss in Santo Domingo.

If he lost this colony, he not only lost the local sugar and coffee, but also lost the springboard to reclaim Louisiana and found a country in North America. If it was placed in the past, he would have sold the land long ago, which would not only fill the national treasury , and it can also cultivate a strong enemy of the United Kingdom, and the way for the Americans to go west will thus be opened.

  Because he didn't sell the land, the British still wanted to maintain peace. The French merchant ships still have freedom of navigation, and no foreign warships will catch them like "fish".

   But it is still difficult for a French ship to go to India, because India is the sapphire in the Queen's crown. There is also less and less wood that Britain can use to build warships. South America is currently a colony of Portugal and Spain. Britain has won practical interests, but suffered diplomatic losses.

  There is another way-Russia, Catherine said that if she could live to two hundred years old, she would let the whole of Europe crawl under her feet. Not all Russian wizards are in the virgin forests of Siberia, but there are also some who are in the upper class like the French wizards. The location of the Quidditch World Cup is not directly related to the countries where the finals are held. The 1994 Quidditch World Cup was held in the UK. Ireland, one of the two finalists, belongs to the Irish-UK Quidditch Alliance. It is a coincidence that the UK is the venue.

If the finals are held in Siberia, it is difficult to say whether the level of disaster will be worse than in 1994, because in 1994 the Dark Mark was released, and Muggles also saw it, causing the risk of exposure to the wizarding world, and Siberia is vast no man's land.

   After feeding the Pegasus, Bonaparte took her back to the castle, and Bertin prepared her a lounge with a fireplace.

  He took out the flint as a habit, but Georgiana took out the wand, and a fire magic ignited it.

   He froze for a moment, then kissed her forehead, and then went out.

   "Where are you going?" she asked.

   "Go and find that 'French Raven,'" he said before closing the door, then closed it.

  If he can convince La Paztan to give up the ownership of this castle, even if he doesn't give up, at least he can talk about it after solving the problem of the purgers.

  Georgianna lay on the lounge chair, which was very exotically furnished, reminding her of Bertain's "Khan's House" and India, and the Taj Mahal built by the Mughal king for his concubine.

  The last time he gave her a very large diamond, which is said to be the Mughal diamond, as Ross said, such a big diamond is quite heavy to hang around the neck. At that time, their appearance was reflected in the mirror, as if it were a plot in a movie, or they were dreaming.

   Passion comes and goes quickly, and once the novelty wears off, the words of the mistress have little influence. Therefore, when she wanted to give gifts and ask for help, she had to take advantage of this time, and the anti-smuggling captain who was a miner gave her so many Egyptian gifts.

  Pauline actually believed his promise that he and Josephine divorced when she gave birth to a child.

  Georgianna didn't fall for the same trap, but at that moment, she fantasized that she was the love of the man in the mirror, and then she didn't care if he gave her a real Mughal diamond.

  This relationship will not last long. Is it worth giving up a long-term marriage for short-term passion?

   Not to mention this is a dream, the real Napoleon died long ago.

   "I have a question." Albus Dumbledore asked suddenly "How do you understand 'amortality'?"

   Georgiana with the Mughal diamond turned to look at Albus in the rocking chair, the book and the deluminator in his hand.

"how do you……"

   "Answer my question." Albus interrupted her.

   "Amortality means never dying and can't die. It's different from 'immortality' because they don't really live." Georgiana replied "like Boggart and Dementors."

   "I wish I could say Hufflepuff added three points, but your answer is too 'boring', I want to hear your own understanding." Albus said with a smile.

  Georgianna thought for a moment, "You mean that the so-called shadow of Yin Yin is also a kind of existence that 'transcends life and death'?"

   "How do you understand non-existence?" Albus asked.

   "non-humanspiritusapparitions, I mean Muggles can only perceive their non-existence through indirect means."

   "Non-existence is born of human emotions, and feeds on these emotions, they are constantly appearing, if Dementors are out of despair, Boggart is out of fear, then yin..."

   "Evil thoughts." She replied.

   "We know that positive emotions can counteract the negative emotions of victims, so what can stop 'evil thoughts'?"

  Georgianna did not answer kindness, which is not the correct answer.

Albus was playing with the deluminator. It looked like a World War I lighter, but he just opened and closed its lid and didn't **** the light out like Ron did. Its shell was green and looked like Not like a Gryffindor property.

   "What did you think of?" Albus asked.

   "I know how to do it," said Georgiana excitedly, then sat up from the sofa and began to draw.

"what are you doing?"

   "Put-outer, why didn't I think of that?" she said excitedly, "It's a ready-made 'container'."

   "Can you explain?"

   "We can't let the energy flow by itself, but 'suck' it in. Remember the water system in Paris, some use natural gravity, some use steam engines to pump water." She paused here.

   "Go on, I'm listening," said the man standing behind her.

   "Who are you?" asked Georgiana.

   "Lady, wake up." She heard Carolan's voice.

   When she opened her eyes, she found herself still in the lounge.

   "It's meeting time," Carolan said.

   "Wait." She quickly got up, walked to the table, and wrote down the idea in the dream just now, so as not to forget it later.

   In other words, she wants to make a large deluminator underground in Paris, which is similar to the place where the kerosene of the lighter can be used as the "core" shell.

  With this foundation, the next step is to "enhance" its strength, which can be cooperated with French alchemists, and then the labyrinth can be designed.

She thought of the Mobius ring. It has only one face and one edge. If it is cut along the middle of the Mobius ring, it will form a ring that is twice the size of the original Mobius ring. If Cut along the middle of the ring, and you will form two identical rings with front and back sides, and the two rings are nested together.

   This means that there is no end, no starting point, forever going back and forth, infinitely standing still, no matter how you go, you will return to the starting place.

   Her purpose is to trap "non-existence", human beings are not her target, if someone tries to destroy it with violence, finding a shortcut will become more and more complicated, and finally become a tangled ball of thread, and the thread end cannot be found.

   "What's this for?" Carolan asked after Georgiana stopped writing.

   "Have you been to the Department of Mysteries at the British Ministry of Magic?" Georgiana asked Carolan.

   "No, I heard that only silent people are eligible to enter." Carolan replied.

   "Now, you have it too." Georgiana smiled and handed the piece of paper to Carolan, then left the lounge.
