Harry Potter Morning Light

In addition to the rose line, Louis Tullius Joachim Visconti, the designer of the Saint-Hubis fountain, was also the designer of the new Louvre and Napoleon's tomb at the Invalides, Napoleon's red sarcophagus is surrounded by 12 goddesses of victory, but in the fountain in front of the Second Cathedral in Paris, Visconti chose the four cardinals of the Louis XIV period.

In addition to solving this mystery, Severus also has to find the location and order of these items, just like the "Double-Face Man" foreshadowed, this is just the beginning.

In fact, St. Xubis Church is not far from Luxembourg. It takes a few minutes to walk there, but it can be seen more clearly from a high altitude. If you add the Great Explorer Park on the south side of Luxembourg, it looks like a huge Latin cross. .

To the east of the Luxembourg Gardens is the Avenue Michel, and to the south is the Paris Observatory. In fact, the Saint-Hubis Fountain does not pass right through the rose line. The real rose line is inside the cathedral. The golden rose line is only as thick as a thumb. , if you look at it from a high altitude, you can't see it at all.

The Luxembourg Palace is also on the rose line. After crossing the rose line, it is equal to the east. The gardens in the west emphasize geometric lines, and even the trees have to be pruned into geometric shapes. The gardens in the east emphasize imitating nature. According to the position indicated by the circle on the map, Severus landed in the east of the Luxembourg Gardens. After nightfall, there were almost no people in the park, and there were many flying insects flying around the street lamps. There are many female sculptures under the trees in the forest. Unlike the goddesses depicted in the artwork, they wear layers of clothes and pose in various shapes and poses in the forest in natural form.

In addition to Marie de' Medici, the Medici family also had a French queen named Catherine de' Medici, who was Caterina de' Medici, wife of Henry II, King of Valois, and mother of three subsequent French kings.

Not every regent queen is born to be a regent queen. Catherine Medici was the only daughter of the Duke of Urbino and his wife. It is said that her parents were as happy as a boy when she was born, but within a month of her birth Parents died one after another. At that time, King Francois I of France, who accepted Da Vinci, hoped to take Catherine to France and grow up in the French court, but Pope Leo X had other arrangements for her.

The girl grew up in Florence, and the residents of Florence called her "Little Duke", and if she was a boy, she would inherit the title of Duke of Urbino.

She was not very beautiful, but there was a long line of people seeking Catherine, including the Duke of Orleans, the second son of the King of Scotland and the King of France.

At that time, there were constant conflicts between Protestantism and Catholicism. The successor Pope Clement VII married the "Little Duke" to the Duke of Orleans. In the first year of their marriage, Catherine seldom saw her new husband, but the women in the court treated her well. Very well, they were also impressed by Catherine's intelligence and lovable enthusiasm, but with the death of Clement VII, Catherine's position in the French court was shaken, her husband blatantly alienated her, and she had a mistress. In the first ten years of her marriage, she had not had children. On the contrary, the mistress of the Duke of Orleans gave birth to a daughter, which proved that Henry was fertile, and invisibly put huge pressure on Catherine to bear children.

Whether it is a goddess who came out of a Renaissance painting or not, it is fatal to be unable to have children. Later, following Henry's brother, Francois, who caught a cold and had a fever after a tennis match, and died soon after, the second son, the Duke of Orleans, became the crown prince. At that time, many people thought that for the sake of the French state, they suggested that Francois I abolish the relationship between the crown prince and Catherine, and marry another fertile crown princess.

But Francois I didn't do that. Catherine had her first daughter after ten years of marriage, and she named the girl after Francois. She and Henry had eight more children, six of whom survived as infants, though her fertility did not improve her marital status. In the same year that Clement VII died, 15-year-old Henry had a 38-year-old mistress Diane de Potier.

Henry did not allow the harem to interfere in politics, but gave Diane a lot of power. Even in front of the royal ministers, Henry would sit on Diane's lap and talk to them like a child. Diane never regarded Catherine as a threat. He even encouraged Henry and Catherine to have more children.

In 1556, Catherine almost died when she gave birth to twin daughters Victoria and Joao. The surgeon saved her life by breaking the dead Joao's legs in her womb. However, the surviving daughter Victoria died after the full moon. Not long after her death, Catherine also lost her fertility.

It is said that on her wedding day, Henry held a jousting for her, and he was always the "champion". When Henry was 40 years old, he had to compete with the young Earl of Montgomery. This time the "champion" lost. The Earl of Montgomery's spear not only hit the king's head, but also shattered the spear, and a piece of it was broken. Hit Henry's eyes and brain.

Over the next ten days Henry's condition rose and fell, and at times he was able to dictate letters soberly. Slowly he lost his sight, speech, and sanity, and he died soon after. Since then, Catherine has kept a broken spear as a memorial, which is inscribed "Thus are my tears and pains", and at the same time, Catherine de' Medici became queen regent.

However, the first thing she did before dealing with political affairs was to expel Diane de Poudier from the palace.

If Diane was still able to be charming at the age of 38, she would be 60 years old 22 years later, which is already considered a long life in the era when the average life expectancy is 35 years old.

Catherine forced Diane to hand over the royal jewels and kicked her out of the Château de Chenonceau, and then Catherine did her best to erase all traces of Diane, like a housecleaning.

Once everything was dealt with, the Queen Regent began to deal with the problems between Protestants and Catholics. Compared with the male ruler, the Duke of Guise, Catherine took a softer approach. Together with the Keeper of the Seals, Michel de Lopital, she established the "July Decree", prohibiting public or private reformist worship, and intends to marry her daughter Margot to Nava Henry pulled to ease the situation in France at that time.

However, an unexpected accident happened on the wedding day. A killer tried to assassinate Admiral Crini, who was an important figure in the Huguenot sect, but the assassination failed. Death, but this incident aroused the strong anger of the Huguenots.

Hopes of peace were shattered, St. Bartholomew's Night erupted, poets wrote hymns in ecstasy, and the bells of Rome were tolling in thanks for the grace of life, and no one thought it sinful.

There is a kind of weak and incompetent people in this world, they cannot kill people.

After becoming Queen Regent, Catherine de Medici also repaired the Tuileries Palace, but being Queen Regent is not just about repairing gardens, wearing royal jewelry and partying and marrying.

There are some things Pomona can't do.

In the depths of the forest, Severus found a seemingly forgotten corner, where there was a long waterway.

The waterway is full of broken branches and leaves. Obviously, no one has cleaned it for a long time. At the end of the waterway, there is a group of sculptures. A pair of young men and women are sitting under a stone, and a bronze giant stands on the stone, looking down at the couple. Young men and women, behind it is a huge stone Baroque screen, and on the top of the screen is a woman's face with her eyes closed.

"This is the Fountain of Innocence." Gonseil came out from the bushes behind Severus. "The Cyclops fell in love with the sea nymph, but the sea nymph fell in love with the shepherd, and the cyclops was jealous of the shepherd and the sea nymph." She crushed the shepherd to death under a boulder, and the sea nymph turned the crushed shepherd into a fountain, and her lover into a river god."

Severus looked at the couple, the woman was holding the man and crying, the man was lying on his back, looking lifeless, the composition was similar to the Pieta in St. Peter's Church.

"So, what comes out of this fountain is not water, but blood, right?" Severus asked calmly.

"That's right," said Conseil.

"I know that the hundred-armed giants guard the underworld, where Cronus is imprisoned," Severus said.

"The cyclops and the hundred-armed giants are the children of Gaia and Uranus, or in other words, the monsters they created." Gong Saiyi said with disgust.

Severus moved closer to the sculptures for a closer look.

Cyclops' eyes were tightly closed, as if he couldn't bear to watch the scene in front of him.

"After the Trojan War, Odysseus got lost on his return voyage and encountered a Cyclops on an island." Severus said, "In order to get out of trouble, Odysseus drunk the Cyclops with wine, and then used hot red stake that blinded the Cyclops' eye."

"You mean it's blind?" asked Conseil.

"Blind love, should we get some wine?"

"You want to fill this pool with wine?" Conseil looked at the long waterway. "Do you know how much wine it takes?"

"Alcohol can be bought with money." Severus said, looking at the beautiful male and female sculptures, "and better than blood."

The prototype of the "Fountain of Innocence" is the Medici fountain in the Luxembourg Gardens

Just like the entrance to the magic world of Paris is a sculpture in the Paris Opera
