Chapter 2400: Fire Lotus (Part 1)

Chapter 2400 Fire Lotus (Part 1)

Even in the 20th century, the location of Richmond Park is not part of the downtown area of London. There are fewer people going there, but there are many deer in it. It is very suitable for families to take their children there to interact with animals.

June 19, 1802 was a Saturday, two days before the summer solstice. It's a day off for someone as wealthy as William Corker, and given the situation he's in, he really needs a little fresh air.

Pomona, however, remembers the "meat" program during World War II, designed by the spy service to convince the Germans that the body washed ashore in southern Spain was a Royal Navy major named William Martin, who was carrying a important information about the Allied forces.

There is a word "hundred" between one million pounds and one hundred million pounds. It is difficult to read the word wrong, but if you judge the current British Prime Minister to take bribes in the Louisiana acquisition based on this statement, it is like witchcraft. The allegation is equally unsubstantiated.

William Kirk was a stockbroker, loan shark, and he must have had many enemies, and neither witchcraft charges nor murder would confiscate property like economic crime. If he's really convicted, then what's going to happen next is relatives fighting over custody of his son, whose property is under the control of the guardian who raised him until he's an adult, and who knows when that little thing grows up How much is left.

James Potter keeps a lot of gold coins in Gringotts' vault. Even if the wizard's gold coins cannot be used in the Muggle world, they can be exchanged through goblins. If you give the Dursleys a sum of money every month, ha Will Lee's childhood be better because of this?

Harry didn't show how rich he was when he was at school, although he received Firebolts as a Christmas present, arousing the jealousy of Master Draco.

It's not that the Malfoys don't have the money, but that Narcissa wouldn't allow Draco and his sophomores to risk their lives to play Quidditch. Not only did Harry have no father or mother, but he also had a godfather, Sirius Black, who was not an adult himself. Fortunately, the Firebolt also came in handy, for example, Harry rode on it and was chased by a Hungarian hornet.

Pomona tried to think as a Gryffindor rather than a Hufflepuff, should Padma go to the UK, where witch hunts are rampant, to "adventure", especially when her identity has been in a certain sense. was made public.

Now Padma should know why the Witchcraft Act of 1735 did not prevent witchcraft accusations, but instead caused more "witches" to be persecuted. It only prohibited the use of lynching by the people to a certain extent, but it was not executed very well. Ali Anna was attacked by three Muggle children.

Muggles have great curiosity and fear and fear of mysterious things. How can a seance confession become a testimony used in court?

The wealth of Elizabeth and Fanny was increased to 150 pounds after marrying William Kirk. Does he need to murder two wives who are pregnant with his own children for 150 pounds?

But the money was seen as a "huge" wealth in the eyes of the wives' relatives in the countryside, and the mysterious disappearance of Fanny's body, an autopsy was required to determine whether Fanny died from smallpox. Georgiana is now very suspicious that Fanny's body was stolen by a tomb robber. Fanny is a woman, and the child has not yet been born, so it is of great "research" value.

She has contacted some materials. The Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty once had the seeds of capitalism. During this period, they were all mercantilism. However, mere mercantilism may lead to the development of industry, but this alone cannot cultivate the spirit of capitalism. of. Before the split of Protestantism, the order brought about by religion was related to punishing evil and promoting good. Good deeds go to heaven, and bad people go to hell. Out of fear of going to **** and suffering, people bought indulgences.

There are also people who hope to pray or find other ways to obtain salvation. Confession is one of the seven sacraments, but there is no confession booth in the Protestant church. If Protestants need to repent, they can repent directly to God without going through a priest. The priest just "guides people". ” rather than an “intermediary,” so there is no need to set it up in Protestant churches.

Saves the time to go to church to pray, people can spend their time on work, and production and consumption replace prayer and salvation in a capitalist society. Martin Luther believed that "salvation" and "grace" cannot be bought and sold, and faith can only come from pure piety. But this is unacceptable to ordinary people. In the book of Job, Job is so devout that he is still regarded as a bet by God and the devil. Not only is his family ruined, but he also suffers from a whole body of disease. God's justice and omnipotence are contradicting his freedom here. .

A person is only religious, and going to heaven or **** becomes a completely random matter. It all depends on God’s arrangement. God treats people like Job, so what can people do?

This forces people to find a set of ethics. Since people cannot actively try to be selected in any way, can they look for some signs and signs of being selected?

Some people think that since everyone in the world will make him do a certain job, this job is his calling, and if a person is buried in his calling, then it is a sign of being chosen. Work hard without spending, so you will accumulate more money to expand your work and make more money, so wealth becomes the evidence of a person's salvation.

The Methodist Church considers itself a Protestant branch, but they promote spiritual revival and holiness, in which all can be redeemed by the Holy Spirit. They desperately searched for any sign of grace, Halloween was to honor all the holy spirits, both known and unknown, but the children treated it as a ghost festival, dressed as various ghosts and went from house to house asking for candy.

Anyway, the Methodists are very popular, and many ghost reports are related to them. The trouble with William Cork is that people believe in ghosts and witchcraft, if it was all called imaginary crime in France, the judge might not even bother, and instead of looking for a psychic, he would investigate whether William Cork had He was engaged in speculation and faced the risk of bankruptcy, so he killed his wife in some inexplicable way to seek her inheritance. At present, there is no life insurance, otherwise, we will investigate whether there is any fraudulent behavior.

William Kirk and Annie's wills were made in a way that benefited the other side, which was a kind of gambling agreement - see who died first. Insurance is also a gamble. If a ship sails and they feel safe and do not buy insurance, then in case of a shipwreck or a pirate, the owner will bear all of it. If he buys insurance and the insurance company pays for it in an accident, the premium will go to the insurance company if there is no accident.

Speculators need courage, but are courage and daring the same thing?

Georgiana actually admires the Pettier sisters, but the most beautiful girl was "uninvited", and was "finally" invited to the Christmas ball by Harry and Ron. What if Harry didn't invite them?

Not to mention, only one of them can be the dance partner of the Triwizard Tournament contestant and "Golden Boy" Harry, and the other...

She didn't know whether it was Ravenclaw or Gryffindor who made the decision, anyway, she thought that if she let Padma go to London, she would probably agree, but Padma was a girl after all. Although she didn't know whether the head of Gryffindor would do that, Georgiana was prepared for her out of an abundance of caution.

"Are you looking for me?"

Georgianna looked up at Richard Edgeworth.

"Long time no see." Georgiana smiled and said, "My guardian, do you still remember my guardian?"

Richard laughed a little embarrassedly.

"What are you doing these days?"

"I met an interesting young man." Edgeworth took out his fountain pen, leaned over his desk, and found a blank sheet of paper to draw.

"What is this?" asked Georgiana while looking at his painting.

"A new steam engine that works on a completely different principle than Watt's." Edgeworth turned it around, facing Georgiana. "It doesn't use a condensing unit."

"What?" asked Georgiana.

"I think Erron would love to meet him, he seems to have a pressure cooker for essential oils," Edgeworth said.

Georgianna hesitated for a moment. "We will talk about academic topics later. I have something I want to ask you for help."

"Speak, please," said Edgeworth.

"I have a student who is going to London, and I want your friend to keep her safe while she investigates the witchcraft allegations." Georgiana smiled mysteriously.

"The Indian girl?" Edgeworth asked.

"Yes." Georgiana nodded. "Do you believe she is a witch?"

Edgeworth smiled, "I think I can help with this, is there anything else?"

She thought for a while and asked, "Watt saw Bonaparte?"

Edgeworth shook his head. "Don't worry, I won't be looking for him."

"Are other members of the Moonlight Club?"

"If you trust me, I'll make arrangements." Edgeworth said firmly. "Or do I lose your trust? Georgiana."

She remembered the president of Banco Peruzzi, and the contract.

Finally, she smiled and said, "Of course I believe you, please sit down."

Then they sat across a table and Edgeworth took the cigarette out of his jacket pocket.

"Sorry, no smoking here," said Georgiana.

Edgeworth was stunned for a moment, not saying that Georgiana herself had smoked, and put the cigarette case back in her pocket.
