Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2248 Fiery frenzy (eight)

   One question, are the prayers of the church useful to those in purgatory?

  In order to resist burning at the stake, wizards invented spells such as the Freezing Fire Charm, but even if the flames burning under the stake were frozen, they could not freeze those who watched the burning. Guess what expressions on their faces?

  There are also wizards who deliberately go to the stake. One wizard is said to have been burned dozens of times. This can be said to be a kind of provocation, or it can be said to be creating terror.

  When the Western Roman Empire collapsed, no secular authority could compete with the spiritual leader of the Church. Due to the primogeniture system, the second son and subsequent sons will have nothing, and those knights who have received military noble education since childhood are unwilling to lay down their swords. They fight for the lord, expand their territory or defend their territory, and become thugs condemned by the church.

After the Crusades began, they had new goals. The ancient Romans came to Jerusalem and sacked the temple. For them, the artifacts that were sacrificed to the gods were nothing but gold and silver. They could be melted and remanufactured to meet the Roman Human aesthetic style.

   The people who live in "heaven on earth" pray for those in purgatory, back to the previous question, does that work?

The Dutch scholar who wrote "The Fable of the Bee" likened "heroic" or "courage" to the annoyance of animals, and honor was described by him as a monstrous, fabricated monster, invented by moralists and politicians, it meant A standard of virtue that has nothing to do with religion.

   All in all, his remarks will annoy some people from all angles, and Georgiana would not have suggested Bonaparte to read that book, although much of what he said made a lot of sense.

   The first thing that a person who advocates honor should pay attention to is to follow the rules of honor. In order to defend honor, he does not hesitate to give up his wealth, even his life. They abide by those numerous laws, put the public interest above their own, and remain true to their beliefs.

  A man of honor must have courage, lack courage, and his other principles are at best a sword without a point.

Even if the times have changed, and war is no longer determined by the proficiency of weapons, there are still people practicing swords, carrying a sword as a weapon is easier to understand than carrying a cannon, and it is much more handsome, Bo. It was strange that Nabas talked to the girls like that, and they understood and admired him.

The first person who introduced Newton's classical physics to France was the Marquise de Châtelet, Voltaire's mistress. She was also a well-known and talented woman in France. Even if it was just a translation, there were many special terms involved. There was no one to guide her, and she herself did not understand physics and mathematics. Can't translate either.

Of course, she was also stupid. Before she met Voltaire, she loved a man very much, but the Marquis Gabriel was a libertine. He broke her heart and made her almost commit suicide at one point, but she was rescued later. , then she met Voltaire, who also wrote the preface to her translation.

  The marquis later fought in the Seven Years' War and died in the war, and his widow lived on pensions. Frederick the Great was actually not as good as Napoleon. He won 8 of the 16 battles in the Seven Years' War. However, in other respects, Frederick the Great was far superior to his opponents. For example, he believed that Prussia's power was not based on inherent wealth. , but is based on a unique industrial development.

   It was he who started compulsory education, also known as forced education. Compulsory education began with Martin Luther and originated in Germany.

Napoleon's educational philosophy at this stage is to let the young people of this era understand whether to support the republic or the old system, believe in God or not, even she herself almost confuses Napoleon's ruling style with enlightened autocracy, although he does confuse elections as a machine.

   Voltaire's opera "Muhammad", which he likes to watch, has a lyric sung like this:

  People are born equal, people's differences have nothing to do with ancestry, they are made by merit, the gods love some people, they create achievements with their own talents, never rely on the shadow of their ancestors, I choose to be the leader of such people.

  The vast majority of officers under Frederick the Great were nobles, and the emperor himself restrained and trained his officers with aristocratic spirit and a sense of honor. Napoleon's generals were all kinds of people. Murat was the son of an innkeeper, Lana was the son of a stable keeper, General Oudinot's father was a brewer, and Davout was a military nobleman. He received education in fencing, shooting, and riding, but he was also in the middle of the family, and he couldn't even afford a horse, so he became a cavalry without a horse.

It's not a good soldier who doesn't want to be a general, every soldier has a marshal's staff in his backpack, these are the way Napoleon inspired his soldiers to fight, and his rules of honor come from victory, but also a dazzling victory, Victory comes with merit, and only with merit can it be unequal to what Voltaire said.

It is impossible for others to make merit without any reward, just like Zigong Redeemer, he himself can not ask for compensation from the state of Lu, because he is rich, but he broke the rules of the game, if others save the compatriots of Lu, If you seek compensation from the state, you will appear less virtuous.

But this will also cause other problems. In the past, people felt that their unsatisfactory life was due to the hereditary system. The son of the peasant was the peasant, and the son of the duke was the duke. Don't look down on him just because he's at the bottom.

  What's so scary about Muggles for wizards? The original owner of the Elder Wand died in the hotel, and even the strong had time to sleep. If he didn't set up his defenses before going to bed, a dagger could cut his throat when he fell asleep.

  Everyone has weaknesses, and arrogant people don't know how to restrain themselves. Dark wizards live very egoistically. You hate it so much that you want to kill him? Well, come on, can you beat him? Black wizards learn black magic in order to gain powerful strength. Ordinary fire wizards are not afraid, but fierce fire can destroy Horcruxes, that is, use black magic to defeat another kind of black magic.

   Modesty is usually a virtue. Socrates, who was a well-known wise man in Greece, still said he was ignorant. He was humble, but made others feel very unpleasant.

  Albus used to make Pomona drink the potion to save some trouble, but this made her miss a lot of things. It was the half-blooded nymph from France that changed everything.

  Severus actually asked her to be a dance partner with "Don't be so wasteful". If he had asked directly, she would have agreed, but he was so bewildering. Ron said it directly, but the volume was like a roar, and the whole corridor could hear it. As a result, he didn't scare Fleur away, but he ran first.

A lot of boys get misbehaving in the presence of pretty girls, that's where the "magic" works, it's fun to watch, but she remembers a Grenadier Cobain who committed suicide because of love, this time he He was not rescued, obviously neither the battlefield nor the hail of bullets took his life.

Victor Hugo wrote "Notre Dame de Paris". When he saw Asmeralda, the archbishop shook his faith because of her. He was actually a good person. He adopted Quasimodo. Quasimodo can be left in the street, frozen to death like a little match girl.

  Because Eve couldn't stand the temptation of the snake and stole the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, God drove them out of Paradise, and the woman was also charged with the original sin.

   She didn't want to call herself a scourge like Helen did.

  Although it might be useless, she still prayed for Gregova, he just panicked for a moment, and when he regained his senses, he would continue to work hard for the cause of education. And she also believed that Gregoire would not be like the archbishop Hugo wrote, in order to get Asmeralda to agree, he threatened to burn her in the name of a witch if she disagreed.

   He was a brave man, although he did not carry a sword. The first thing a man of honor should be concerned with first is to follow the rules of honor. A man of honor must have courage, lack courage, and his other principles are at best a sword without a point.

   She actually couldn't remember the sculpture of "The Virgin of the Lamentation" in St. Peter's Church in Rome, whether Maria was really smiling with tears, but she felt that Maria was indeed smiling because her brave son was lying in her arms.

   I heard that Bruges also has a work by Michelangelo, in the Church of Our Lady, she must go and see it.

   Maybe she can see something else.

   "What are you laughing at? Madame." Leoncourt's daughter-in-law asked after closing the car door, her daughter Alice sitting beside her.

   "I'm looking forward to a new journey." Georgiana said to her, and glanced at the Nerva sculpture at the entrance of the summer palace. "Do you know how she was born?"

  The mother and daughter looked at Nerva together.

   "She was a woman who brought pain to her father," Georgiana said. "Usually, the pain of childbirth is a woman's responsibility."

   "Maybe this is the price of wisdom," Alice said.

  Georgianna looked at this little girl, did she really understand the meaning of what she said?

   But don't let her think too much, the carriage is moving, unless they don't even go to Antwerp, they can stay here for a few more days.

   And this summer palace was gradually left behind by them, becoming gorgeous, majestic, and deserted again, and I don’t know when it will become lively again next time.
