Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1677 The Secret Word of the Goddess (22)

  Green is actually very reminiscent of spring, forest, and laurels made of laurel leaves.

  Before the discovery of arsenic to make green dyes, people used a mixture of several colors to make green dyes.

  Dr. Paul Veronese spent most of his time creating in Venice. Like Titian, he is a skilled and agile colorist. He is known for making bright greens with stubborn pigments.

   However, even when he missed his hand, perhaps it was because of the craftsman’s helplessness in front of this paint that caused this color to be linked to fickleness, poison, and even evil.

Since the 12th century, green has been visually associated with the devil and evil creatures. In Shakespeare’s time, green costumes were seen as an unknown symbol on the stage. Until the 19th century, actresses refused to wear the green color designated by the author for the role. Long skirt.

This may also be related to a popular value in society at that time. It believed that different substances should not be mixed together. In many countries, the clothing industry unions even enacted a law. If the cloth is soaked in isatis, it is put in yellow. Mignonette seeds dyed green may be sentenced to huge fines or exile.

  Even if some plants such as foxglove can make green fuel without mixing, its saturation and brightness cannot meet the needs of discerning customers.

Paris Green and St. Heena Green are originally a kind of green, but the main composition of Paris Green, copper arsenite, will react with sulfides and gradually darken, and the color will not be as transparent and bright as Paris Green, and it looks on the contrary. Like broken peas, or matcha powder.

  St. Heena is a volcanic island. Although it is not as frequent as some volcanic islands in the Pacific, the dormant volcanoes still emit a lot of sulfur-containing gas, and the emerald green wallpaper is discolored.

  There is no volcano in Paris, but the sulfide in diesel and gasoline is distributed in the air, which also makes the emerald green wallpaper hidden behind the bookcase change color.

  As for the painting on the wallpaper, the color is not really light, but a lighter color than carbon black, charred black and other colors.

  Although it is a bit scary, the monster with long horns is also a gift from the students to the teacher. Cuvier left it on the wallpaper as a souvenir.

  In the era when Cuvier lived, superstition had not been completely eliminated, and the influence of the church in France was still very large. This happened during the cholera epidemic in Paris in 1832. A group of people was holding a masquerade with joy. Suddenly the happiest clown fell to the ground, his limbs were cold, and his face under the mask was green and purple. The laughter and music stopped immediately. Everyone who was dancing stopped dancing. People hurriedly sent the clowns onto the carriage and from the dance hall to the Catholic Building, which was the earliest hospital in Paris. At that time, the clowns were dying. It caused panic among the patients, and the deceased with the make-up cloak was quickly stuffed into a rough box, and then sent to the cemetery for burial.

Soon, the lobby of the hospital was full of dead bodies sewn in cloth bags due to lack of shrouds or coffins. Long queues of hearses were parked outside Father Lachaise Cemetery. The rich packed their belongings and fled the city. The poor suspected Some people secretly poisoned them. Six people were hanged on street lights. People passing by turned a blind eye to their deaths. Everyone believed that these people were hanged for a reason.

Without witches, there are other "criminals." The fear caused by rumors can make people lose their judgment and fall into collective ideas, emotions and reasoning. Such hints can be contagious, and some words and images can solidify the image. After artistic processing, they will produce magical powers. For example, witches are ugly-looking and eat children, or they are Satan’s lovers, put candles, hold devil summoning rituals, entrap kind believers, or give poisonous apples to "Snow White" "eat.

  Parents of common people know that they must teach their children not to eat anything strangers give, but the princess is so “pure” that they don’t know how the king teaches it. It’s no wonder that the stepmother queen wants to usurp the throne and become a queen by herself.

   Do poisonous apples have to be green? Green apples are also green. Are green apples poisonous?

  The passing prince married Snow White and seemed to have a big deal. The kingdom has the kingdom and the beauty is also there. In the past, Napoleon III was also a hopeful emperor for the French, and later he was called the loser of Sedan. Destiny is like a trap. You thought it was rising, but actually fell into the trap. The smiling face of the "Laughing Man" is like a mask. He can bring joy to people by pretending to be a clown. If he dresses up with the "monster" on the wall...

   "Here you." Gonsey handed Severus a piece of caramel apple tart.

  Severus did not hesitate, and after taking it, he put it in his mouth and ate.

   "Have a cup of coffee." Gonsey handed a paper cup to Severus.

   "Where did you go?" Severus asked.

   "Canteen, I brought their UV lamp." Gong Saiyi carried an instrument in his hand.

   "How did you think of..."

   "Ultraviolet rays." Gonsey interrupted Severus directly. "Are you ready? If you are ready, I will remove the wallpaper."

   "Wait a minute." Severus ate another fruit tart, and then, together with Gonsai, used the cutting curse to trim the wallpaper neatly, exposing the wall behind.

It was just a very ordinary wall. There was nothing. Gon Saiyi plugged in the ultraviolet light, turned it on, and then turned off the office light. When the purple light shone on that wall, only one was seen. A huge scorpion glowing fluorescent, appeared in the center of the wall.

   "It's Scorpio." Gonsai said, "Those dojis are all Scorpio stars."

   "What does this string of numbers mean?" Severus said.

  "Chiaroscuro160.82.45" Gong Saiyi read the line "What do you think?"

   "I look like coordinates in the back." Severus said, "The coordinates are based on Paris as the primary meridian."

   "Where will it be?" Gonsai asked.

  Severus turned his head and found that there was a telephone in the office, so he dialed Gianluca’s phone number.

   "Help me check things." Severus said "Chiaroscuro..."

   "Light and darkness." Gianluca said without hesitation, "This is the painting method of the Caravaggio school."

   "How do you know?" Severus asked.

  "I went to school in Venice." Gianluca said, "and the word is Italian, chiaro means light, and oscuro means darkness."

  "160.82.45" Severus asked, "I think it looks like coordinates."

  After a while, Gianluca said, "Do you think this is not a joke?"

   "What do you mean?" Severus asked.

   "Those guys are from the 19th century, aren't they?" Gianluca said, "How could they know anything from the 20th century."

  "What did you find?" Gong Saiyi asked quickly.

  "An rgb color, sienna." Gianluca said excitedly, "That is a hexadecimal color code, a computer language."

   "That's right." Gong Saiyi said briskly, "I wonder why there are 16 cities, and 12 cities can better reflect the 12th sign of the zodiac."

  Severus looked at him coldly.

   "What's wrong?" Gonsey asked inexplicably.

   "What is sienna?" Severus asked.

  "A kind of brown, taken from Latin, from Siena, Siena used to be a city under Florence, now it belongs to Italy as Florence." Gianluca said.

   "That's right." Severus said, "Florence is next to Washington and Athens. I wonder why there is such an arrangement."

  "What is your understanding?" Gonsai asked.

   "Which kind of freedom do you choose, American freedom or Greek freedom." Severus smirked and said, "And don't forget, how did Socrates die?"
