Harry Potter Morning Light

The Richelieu branch is located in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, next to the Church of Notre Dame Victorious. Perhaps because of this, the Loire Square opposite the library was used as a cemetery in the past.

There is a Loire fountain on the square, which was built in 1844 and is said to be used to pay tribute to the four main rivers of France, the Seine, the Loire, the Saone and the Garonne.

The Richelieu Library is closed to the public after 5:00 p.m., and even research scholars have to leave at 7:30 p.m. However, there is a special situation.

"This way, please, Mr. Smith." The library curator Egger said politely to Severus.

"Where are we?" Severus said, looking around at the bookshelves.

"This is the central library." Eiger said, "Although the exterior looks old, we have constant temperature and humidity inside to ensure that the paper will not be unreadable due to damp and moldy, and we also have special restoration personnel. It will surely be well preserved in our library."

Severus ignored her. He had a manuscript of the American Declaration of Independence in his hand. As long as he became an "investor", even if he stayed late, the curator would not complain.

"What are these?" Severus said, looking at the row of pipes on the floor.

"That's the delivery system we used to use," Eiger said. "It's pneumatic, and we were still using it 98 years ago. In the past, readers would write the title of the book they wanted on a paper roll, and it would be delivered to us through these tubes." sorters, and then they search from each shelf, find the book and pipe it to the reader's hand."

"Why don't you use it now?"

"We have computers." Eiger said with a smile, "Now our administrators can directly use computers to search, and readers can reach readers in 10 minutes, and more than one person has said that there are monsters roaring in those tubes, In order to prevent monsters from running out, and to reduce the risk of injury to maintenance personnel, we used a new transmission system."

"It's a pity, I still want to experience it." Severus said lightly.

"Why don't I take you to another place." Iger said, "Have you heard of Computer Deep Blue?"

"How could I not know?" Severus smirked.

"There is a deep blue hall in our library, which is also closed to the public."

"As long as I put the manuscript here, it's open to me?" Severus asked.

"Can you believe it?" Eiger patted the handrail of a staircase and said, "People in the past actually repaired a staircase specially for servants."

Severus looked at Eiger, she gave Severus a mysterious smile, and then said, "This way please."

After she turned around, Severus secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he looked down at the Qi gas transmission system downstairs, and then followed Eiger out of the steel-framed aisle.

==================================================== ===============

Alejandro circled the San Hybeus Fountain twice more.

"Don't look at it." Felix sat by the fountain and said sullenly, "Except for the sculpture in the east that has a quill in its hand, the other sculptures are the same."

"I also checked the rings on their hands," Haji said. "At first I thought one of them was holding a cup, but then I realized it was a bird standing there."

"Is it that simple? Just hidden in the altar of the church?" Alejandro asked.

"I don't see where it's easy?" Felix said. "I think my brain cells are dying."

"The priest must have been alerted. It might not be so easy for us to sneak in again," Haji said.

"You want to say I'm being reckless?" Alejandro complained.

"I didn't say that." Haji said flatly, but his expression did mean the opposite.

Just when Alejandro was about to say something, his phone rang, and Monica's voice came from the opposite side.

"Why haven't you arrived yet?" Monica asked.

"Don't go with that kid!" growled Alejandro "I'll be right there!"

"Who do you think you are? Are you an uncle..."

Before Monica finished speaking, Alejandro had already hung up the phone.

"Raising a daughter is not easy." Haji rubbed Felix's hair and said, "Fortunately, it's a son."

"Mommy would put ointments on me," Felix said to Hage.

"I'm so sorry, I'm not your mother." Haji also deliberately touched the big bump on Felix's forehead. "If you don't want to be stung by a bee, run faster next time."

"What kind of father are you?" Felix complained, and ran to the pharmacy to buy medicine.

The logo of the pharmacy is easy to recognize. It is a red cross, which is common throughout Europe. The store Gianluca confirmed that it was rebuilt in recent decades, although this row of apartments looks like a building from the 19th century. .

So far, one experience can be summed up, that is, these hiding places have not changed for at least one or two hundred years. These locations are almost all landmarks, but the hiding places are very hidden, and they are not accessible to ordinary people.

"It's really a blind spot under the altar," Alejandro said to Hadji. "Maybe remove that oval plate?"

Haji looked at the red cross and said nothing after a while, "Do you know what that one over there is?"

Alejandro looked in the direction Haji pointed.

"It was a refugee camp there during World War I," Haji said.

"How do you know?" Alejandro asked.

"Smuggling from France to the UK must either go through the undersea tunnel or take a boat. I was still taking the child with my mother at the time. Of course, we must investigate carefully before we act." Haji said, "There are many people who choose to settle in France. Of course I have to investigate. Know what kind of places refugees live in.”

"Oh." Alejandro didn't know what to say.

"Paris was almost razed to the ground after the First World War, and not only that, but it was full of orphans who were homeless and had to be placed across the street with the help of the American Red Cross, which used to be a seminary and then It was turned into a refugee camp for children."

"Seminary?" Alejandro exclaimed.

"That's right," said Haji.

Alejandro immediately called Gianluca.

"Help me find out, what is the building on the south side of St. Hybes Square?"

"The Taxation Office of the City of Paris." Gianluca said after a few seconds, "Why are you asking this?"

"The seminary turned into a tax office?" Alejandro asked.

"The seminary?" Gianluca was stunned for a moment. "How do you know it used to be a seminary?"

"I asked passers-by," Alejandro said.

"It used to be St. Hybes Seminary, wow, so many famous people studied there." Gianluca said, "Talleyrand, Condorcet..."

"Who's the bishop south of the fountain?" Alejandro asked Hadji.

"Marcillon, he is famous for his eloquence," said Gianluca.

Alejandro looked at the fountain and said "I don't know French, what does clermont mean?"

"How do you spell it?" Gianluca asked.

"C-l-e-r-m-o-n-t."

"Claremont, wait a minute, that's Marsillon's parish, in south-central France."

Alejandro turned west again "d-e-n-i-m-e-s."

"Denimes doesn't have that word, but if it's nimes it's the parish of Flessier, in the south of France."

"Shouldn't there be birth and death years under the normal sculpture? How could it be a parish?" Alejandro asked.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence, you go and see the sculptures of Bossuet and Finalon."

"Meaux."

"That's Bossuet's parish, Meaux in eastern France."

"Cambray."

"Are you sure you spelled it that way?" Gianluca asked.

"Of course, I'm sure," said Alejandro.

"Looks like a German place name," Gianluca said.

"Don't look it up, you should first make sure there is something special about Claremont." Alejandro asked.

"Does Michelin count?" Gianluca said.

"What?" Alejandro asked.

"The Michelin factory is there," Gianluca said.

"I thought you were going to recommend a Michelin star restaurant to me." Alejandro said with a smile.

"It is a volcanic city, and it is almost impossible to develop agriculture. It can only develop agricultural machinery and rubber industries. That is to say, when the fountain was built, Clermont was a fledgling industrial city, and only Volvic hot spring water was famous. "Gianluca said, "Also it is the hometown of Pascal."

"What about the other bishops?" Alejandro asked.

"If you ask the Bishop Bossuet in the north, he is a great orator. He is famous for advocating the divine right of kings. In addition, he has a nickname, the Eagle of Meaux." Gianluca said, "The A good writer, he wrote a lot of books on the history of religion."

Alejandro tilted his head, "Why did you choose these four?"

"I'll keep checking," Gianluca said. "Good luck."

After Gianluca put down the phone, Alejandro looked at Haji, "Are you going to visit the seminary?"

"I'll talk about it after I apply the medicine to my son," Haji said. "Take this opportunity to think about it."
