Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1609 Son of God Abandoned (12)

  In the Old Testament book of Hosea, the prophet Hosea once condemned the Israelites who used gold and silver to make golden calves to worship, saying that what they planted is wind and what they reap is storm.

  The most feared thing on the sea is the storm. Under this majestic force of nature, whether it is a novice sailor who has just boarded a ship or an experienced captain, the chances of survival are the same. Napoleon Bonaparte than Alexander Dumas' luck is that he did not encounter a shipwreck whether he set off from Marseille to Egypt or returned from Egypt by boat.

  John Newton was born in London, England. He is the son of a Mediterranean trading captain. Since the age of 11, he has been sailing with his father near Venice. He often had a dream, in which he dreamed that he had to walk back and forth on the deck, and then a man walked over to him, and he handed Newton a ring. The soldier specially asked to take good care of the ring. As long as he can keep that ring well, he will be happy and successful, but if he put it elsewhere, he will experience trouble and pain.

  Newton was very happy to accept this gift. He was convinced that he could keep this gift, and he was very happy that happiness was in his own hands.

  Later, another person walked over to him, and he said to Newton with contempt that he would believe this kind of deceit, and then he told Newton that he had better throw the ring away.

  At first, Newton was skeptical, but later he decided to lift the ring from his finger and threw it into the river.

As soon as this ring touched the water, not far behind Venice, an astonishing flame burst out from the snow-capped mountains of the Alps. Newton knew he was in trouble and wanted to save it, but it was too late, the seducer. Tell him that this ring containing all the mercy of God for him has been thrown away at will, and that Newton and the seducer will be consumed by the fire.

Just when he was thinking that he was about to die miserably, the man who gave him the ring came back. He asked Newton why he was so sad. Newton frankly ruined himself by his willfulness. The man condemned Newton for being too rash. I asked Newton again if he was willing to keep the ring properly. Just when Newton didn't know how to answer, the man had dived into the river and retrieved the ring.

  The Governor of Venice always drives a golden boat and throws a ring into the sea. Giorgioanna thinks this is his thanks to the mermaid princess for her life-saving grace. Although the "prince" finally married a human bride, he is still grateful to her.

However, John Newton’s later experience was not so romantic. When he was 18 years old, he was transferred to West Africa, traveling back and forth between North America and the Caribbean, and engaged in the slave trade. In 1748, on the way back to England, he also sailed to Ireland. Encountered a storm.

Just when he was desperate and helpless, he shouted "God, help me". As a result, the cargo on the ship slipped to the side of the ship and blocked the breach. Although the ship lost control, it docked to a safe place. This experience Let John Newton stop drinking and gambling. Even though he was still engaged in the slave trade, he began to sympathize with the slavery. It was not until 1764 that he began to take up the priesthood of the Anglican Church.

  In 1779, he combined the spiritual song of Africa to compose the hymn of “amazing grace” because it is so popular that even non-Christian believers have heard it.

  This song is very suitable for a cappella, especially when there is no band accompaniment around her.

  Georgiana’s biggest advantage is that she is not gregarious, and she has not seen her participate in any social activities, so people have a sense of mystery about her.

  Florence's Cosimo Medici once said that in order to avoid jealousy as much as possible, in addition to concealing huge wealth, one must stay away from the crowd.

  The civilian consul, who has not had a high reputation since the birth of Rome, looks approachable and kind, but in fact he is the most powerful person in Florence.

  Georgiana is not a Puritan, and of course she also likes things that ordinary women like.

The Parisians called the executioner "Mr. Paris". This profession is generally open to the public, but it is customarily inherited from the father's inheritance. From the time the previous successor takes office, the name will not be announced until someone takes over. The face is executed when the death penalty is executed. He will wear a black hood.

Charles Jean Baptiste Sanson was forced to take over the job of executioner because his father died suddenly when he was 7 years old. However, someone took over the job before he became an adult, but he did it for a few years after he became an adult. Encountered the French Revolution, he executed the king and queen, and participated in the reign of terror. In 1793 he couldn't bear it anymore, so his son Charles Henry Sanson replaced his father at the age of 15 and became "Mr. Paris".

  Georgiana shuddered at the thought of Madame Dubali’s "wait a minute", and Napoleon often stayed in Marie Antoinette’s small living room. As long as there is a sword of Damocles hanging over her head that can fall at any time, she can't jump around on the sleigh bed like she did when she was a commoner, clamoring to take a dog sled.

  The crown of thorns is not easy to wear, even if the crown is made of precious stones or gold. The Louis XVI couple was not that bad either. Their interaction at the end of their life was very warm, but the citizens only remembered Marie Antoinette as a deficit queen.

Georgian is worse than her. At least Marie Antoinette has an innocent background, not to mention that she is still a British woman, so she won't even think about it in her life, she can not lose the reputation of Mrs. Simpson. .

   Fortunately, this is just a dream.

  Albus, I'm afraid I never thought that there would be a witch who sang hymns.

   But she was relieved when she thought about it. Every Christmas there is a choir singing hymns on the streets of Hogsmeade, even if people just treat them as background boards and don’t care?

In the 20th century, Halloween was basically regarded as a ghost festival. Most English-speaking countries will pretend to be a variety of horrible images, but Halloween in Europe is very different. This day is not only for the Celtics. During the New Year, there will be people going to sweep the tomb to express remembrance and grief. In French, Halloween is toussaint, which means a holiday for all saints. The eve of Halloween is similar to Christmas Eve.

  After this day, the Celtics regarded it as entering the gloomy winter season and needed the power of light to contend with it. They light a bonfire, not only to commemorate their ancestors, but also to scare away evil spirits and perform divination with bonfires. Their cheerful popularity will scare away uninvited evil spirits.

  That’s why she felt it was appropriate to sing this song at this time. She hoped that the sound of heaven could dispel the dark clouds of war over Normandy, and she hoped that the evil slavery would be cancelled.

In fact, not only cane sugar, but cotton is also cultivated by slaves. If the cost of raw materials rises, then the advantage of "cheap" British goods will be reduced. In order to obtain profits, British goods will have to increase their prices. Freed from the vicious circle of competition and market share.

  There is at least one chance.

  This is the inspiration she got when she sang hymns.

In fact, her voice is not very pleasing to the ears, at least Liwei did not ask her to join his choir, but in such an empty place, it sounds like a clear and holy feeling, even she herself couldn’t help being a little bit intoxicated. .

After    sang, she was extremely embarrassed. Many people were watching her. It was really easy to get on stage and get off stage.

Fortunately, Rapp helped her out again, and after the crowd was silent for a while, she began to applaud her, and other people followed her to applaud her, so she took this opportunity to trot off the stage, as if she had left the spotlight. Then ran to Leon's side.

  He is much younger than her, but at the moment he is so mature that he looks at her with great dignity, with his hands behind his back, and keeping social distance from her, anyway, it is different from the warm welcome or triumphant laughter she imagined.

  Others saw him react so coldly, and gradually stopped cheering. When everyone was quiet, he took the lead in leaving the remains of the Roman underground opera house in silence.

  "What did I do wrong?" Georgiana asked Rapp who was passing by.

  Lapp spread his hands towards her, and followed with an inexplicable expression.

   "strange." She said in English and followed the crowd to leave the place where she had just been singing.

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

On the square in front of Notre-Dame de Paris, there is a bronze eight-pointed star landmark. This place is called "the origin of France, the heart of Paris". The starting position for measuring mileage across the country in France will be used as the center of the circle, making concentric circles式expanding.

And the location of this origin has actually been erected before. A man in a robe, holding a book or something similar in his hand, was washed away by the rain and his face was no longer visible. No one knew what he was. When it was erected there, and how many years it was erected, whose sculpture was or who sculpted it. The Parisians at the time called him "Mr. Grey". Later, the sculpture was demolished during the expansion of Notre Dame de Paris, and the pedestal under his feet became the heart of Paris.

  "Look!" The ghost that suddenly appeared in the underground opera house pointed to a sculpture whose face was already invisible and said, "Do you think it should be called'Mr. Gray' or'Mr. Black' now?"

  The sculpture has also been scorched fiercely, and the surface has also been glazed, which looks like a black marble sculpture.

  But Severus and Crimean didn't care about the old ghost's complaint. Together, they watched another sculpture in the "temple".

   "It looks like it was made by a famous artist." Crimean said dryly.

  Severus did not speak with a sullen face.

  The sculpture in front of him is the same size as a real person, wearing a hooded cloak, which is in line with the etiquette of aristocratic women, covering her hair, she spread her hands as if to hug someone.

The folds and curves of the clothes actually have a velvet touch, and there are patterns that represent harvests such as wheat ears and grapes on them. Except for the sculpture's face, which looks exactly like Pomona, it is a work of art. It can be placed in the Louvre. Palace exhibition.

  "When was this sculpture placed here?" Crimean asked.

   "I'm here first!" Mr. Gray protested, "Someone moved it to me later."

   "About when?" Crimean asked.

   "Wait." Mr. Hui began to flip through the book in his hand, as if it were his diary.

   "Father Lachaise Cemetery is like Saint Germain Depe." Another ghost in a wig said to Severus, "If that dark wizard destroys the cemetery, we will go to the catacombs to squeeze!"

   "Can you believe that they actually took such a terrible name? Catacombs." A Bourbon lady fanned the wind with a feather fan, rolling her eyes and complaining.

  "Snape, resting place!" Crimian exclaimed, "Cite that the name of catacombs is derived from the Latin cumbere."

  Severus ignored Crimean.

  He looked like he was about to crush his teeth.

   "January 13, 1806." Mr. Gray turned to a page at this time and said, "The Pope thought that Napoleon died on November 3, 1805, and gave him this sculpture to decorate his mausoleum."

  "Why would they think he was dead?" Crimean asked in confusion.

   "Battle of Austerlitz." Severus said quietly, "He should be in Austria on November 3, 1805."

   "I still don't understand." Crimean said.

   "It should have snowed that day." Severus said, "He should be buried there by an avalanche."

   "Why haven't I heard of it?" Crimean said.

   Severus curled his mouth and smiled at Crimean and said, "I guessed that way."
