Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2384 Mountsofmercy (Part 2)

In ancient Greek mythology, Icarus, who wore wax wings and flew to the sky, people would say don't fly too high because of pride. If you fly too high, wax wings will be baked by the temperature of the sun, and then be like Icarus. Fall from a height. But it will not remind you not to fly too low, and the wings will be dragged into the sea when the water is wet. After all, the moral of the story is to warn the world that humility is a virtue. Originally, the bottom line of this world is constantly being refreshed, and some people will grind down your bottom line little by little in order to gain an inch. If you don’t set a bottom line, it will be easier to be controlled by others.

Before clocks and clocks were invented, people mainly relied on sundials to observe time. In that pile of miscellaneous books, there was a "guide" on how to place sundials. Since the angle of the shadow cast by the sun on an object will vary with latitude, according to a certain location Crafted sundials cannot be used at different latitudes. In addition, the reality of the sundial is visual time, and the clock shows the average time. Even if a well-running clock is consistent with the sundial, there are only 4 days in a year that are exactly the same as the sundial indicates.

In short, this suggestion is very "useful" except for the "slightly higher" requirements. The poor have no machinery such as clocks in their homes. They can follow the "guide" to set a sundial in their yard, but maybe they prefer to follow the church clock. Sound to plan work and rest time.

   There are many people who will look at a watch, but do not understand the working principle of the mechanism behind the watch, and what role those ingenious components play.

The individual in the group disappears, and a person who is hopelessly corrupted about his life does not consider self-improvement a worthwhile goal, but instead, by joining a sacred cause, he can gain pride, confidence , hope and a sense of identity, and all he needs to do is let go of himself.

  If they convert into a group, they will be reborn in a close group.

   Joining Grindelwald's group meant preventing Muggles from destroying the world, and he wasn't lying.

  The teacher will guide the students to the right path, there may be a wrong path, and even Dumbledore guides Harry to a dead end.

This was one of the reasons why she would be suspicious of Albus appearing on the pews. Neville's torture by Snape was also related to his Boggart in third grade, and it was also due to Remus' guidance. , let Neville make Boggart "that".

   A good liar will tell you a lot of truth, but lie in key places. If there are many lies, even Hagrid, like Rohart, can tell that the content of the book he wrote is false, and no one will believe it. Grindelwald even showed the "future", who would doubt what his eyes saw?

   As for the second reason, she used to lose herself by the "greater good". Everyone has the right to self-determination, and some people will arbitrarily put concepts such as "the overall interests of society" above the individual and obliterate the individual's right to self-determination.

Grindelwald's speech after he was "elected" as the president of the International Federation of Wizards was a bit off the mark. Although he said that Muggles could not marry wizards, many people would agree, but this was extreme, and he was in it three years ago. The "hope worth proclaiming" set in Paris is the exact opposite.

   may be because his supporters are mostly pure blood, and Muggle-born wizards have Muggle relatives, friends, and lovers.

   In the era they lived in, the main contradiction between human beings was no longer wizards and witch hunts.

   At the time, she ignored Severus' feelings, thinking that he should marry a young girl so that the Prince family could follow.

   At noon, the "emperor" who "used to" divorced Josephine and later married the Austrian princess Marie Louisa for the sake of the child did not give her a good look. Although it was his own misunderstanding, Padma was not part of some "little plan".

Men's self-esteem sometimes manifests in strange places, but after all, they are all people who did not choose to go with the flow and lose themselves, which is another common denominator besides the fact that they are all "dedicated and hurt", and of course Calm head, courage and the like.

   If it weren't for the fact that she chose to remain herself, to retain that stupid and tormented compassion, what would have happened?

   She couldn't imagine what it would be like if Augustus did not choose to inherit Caesar's inheritance, but chose to be an ordinary noble.

   It's not that she equates herself with Augustus, she just happily chooses herself instead of choosing to abandon "her".

   She picked up the gift she had just received, and by the light of the church, she did not understand Greek. Papyrus is suitable for preservation in dry places, such as where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, but it is difficult to maintain it in the wet Netherlands. In order to maintain documents, people often had to copy continuously. Later, with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the export of papyrus from Egypt dropped sharply, and parchment began to become the main writing material.

  Papyrus was at one time Egypt's main export, because the papyrus from which it was made grew only in the Nile Valley. In order to curb the expansion of the Pergamon library, Ptolemy V ordered the method of making paper to be a state secret and strictly restricted the export, which also led to a shortage of paper in Rome, so there was a kind of wax block with a metal pen. Replacement written on.

Wedge-shaped script has long existed in the two river basins, using clay tablets and stone carvings. The advantage of wax block writing is that it can be reused. In Pompeii, there is such a wax tablet, which is a diary of a young man. It was his love for a woman, which miraculously escaped the high temperature caused by the eruption of the Pompeii volcano. It was unearthed 2000 years later and displayed to the world.

At Caesar's funeral, Anthony showed the crowd the robe that Caesar wore during his lifetime, which was cut by a knife and stained with blood, and also made a statue of Caesar with wax, showing his twenty-three knife edges, and using A crane used in the theater hoisted the wax figure and rotated it to the public.

   She felt that she could try it. The real identity of those assassins was Moro and Osh's subordinates of the Rhine Legion. They may have listened to rumors that Bonaparte sent them to Santo Domingo to eliminate dissidents and take risks.

   In terms of wax figures, Georgiana still knows Madame Tussauds, but she should still be traveling around Britain and Ireland with her wax figures...

   "Georgianna!"

   Just when she was stunned, she heard someone shouting.

   She followed the voice and found that it was Mortier, the commander of the 17th Army in Paris. "Before" because of the corpse case, Caprara had advised her to go to him for help, because his mother was British.

   "Good evening, General." Georgiana smiled and said in English, "You are..."

"The British have handed over to us the Polish prisoners who were handed over to them in Santo Domingo, and now we are discussing whether to send them back to Europe or to be incorporated into the American Legion." General Mortier interrupted her greeting. "They went to war. The condition is to support the independence of Poland, and Napoleon also intends to use Poland to contain Prussia and Russia."

   She froze for a moment.

   "What did the Austrian envoy tell you last night?" Mortier asked. "You better tell me honestly."

   "I told..." She stopped.

   He could see that she was lying, although it wasn't a lie, she was just using a bit of "language art" to make it look like the Austrians were going to join forces with France against Prussia.

   "He threatened me," said Georgiana to Mortier. "Otherwise, he will let the witcher tell the world that I am a witch."

   "What?" said Mortier, confused.

   "Why don't you understand?" she asked rhetorically.

   "Witcher, witch? Are you serious?" Mortier asked again.

  Georgianna shook her head, she didn't know how to answer Mortier's question.
