Wizards of Hogwarts

Chapter 117 Let’s get some chocolate frog

Before analyzing, reading, and appreciating this painting, we must first find out who "Saint George" is.

St. George did exist in history, but due to the passage of time and the continuous publicity of later generations of believers, his true identity and life have long been hidden under the heavy grease of religion, and he has become a constructed "legend."Therefore, without giving a detailed introduction, everyone only needs to know that he is a devout saint.

And it tells a certain legendary story about St. George.

Legend has it that on the outskirts of Serenla in Lebia Province, there was an evil dragon that exuded poisonous gas. It lived in a lagoon and often preyed on nearby residents.In order to appease this evil beast, local residents throw two fat sheep into the lake every day in exchange for peace.However, a natural disaster struck and the sheep died in large numbers. The residents who had no sheep to feed had to replace them with living people, until this bad luck came to the king's only daughter.St. George happened to be passing by and was very angry when he heard about this. He wore a red cross representing justice, rode his horse to the lake, and when the dragon was about to feast, he stabbed the dragon in the mouth with so much force that the gun broke. And the dragon's blood on the ground slowly formed a blood-red cross, which never dispersed.

According to what is said on the table, the red cross of the British flag comes from this.During the Third Crusade, King Richard I of the Lionheart led his army to battle and won victory in Yakon near the place where St. George slayed the dragon. King Lionheart thought that this was St. George who was protecting them. From then on, St. George was protecting them. George is considered the patron saint of Britain, although he has never been to England, and the cross formed by dragon's blood, the St. George's Cross, has also become an important heraldry and part of the national flag of Britain in later generations.Every year on April 4, "St. George's Day" has become an important holiday in England.

As for Raphael, there is no need to introduce too much, he is one of the three masters of the Renaissance.

Seriously speaking, dragon slaying is a big event.

The battle between the hero and the beast was fierce. Saint George let go of his horse's reins, raised his sword high, and was about to give the dragon a fatal blow like balabala.

Or, like Elrohir's personal experience with the death of Smaug, the legendary dragon with the stern dragon's flames surging in its throat was killed by an ordinary human with a refined iron bow.

But the painting in front of me is different.

The first is the size of the dragon.

By the Middle Ages, dragons were still not that big.At least according to the presentation of the picture, the body of this poisonous dragon is not as big as the horse under St. George's crotch. It is difficult to imagine that such a small creature can be called a "dragon".

Secondly, there is the vivid white horse.

Those little eyes seemed to be thinking, "Is this ugly guy in front of me really a dragon?"

For some reason, Elrohir felt that Hakuba's eyes seemed familiar.

Just like a husky that blended in with the wolves

The most important thing is that this white horse is still sticking out its tongue and acting cute. It's just too much.

For a moment, Elrohir didn't know if her father, Edward, had bought a fake. The style was indeed not very similar to the work of Raphael, who was good at painting Madonnas.

But the next moment, Elrohir found evidence. Raphael secretly "signed" and painted his name on the white horse's neck reins.

I can't write anymore because of motion sickness. I will revise it tomorrow. For the sake of perfect attendance, I hope everyone can understand. The following content is repeated.
