Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 2943 Can't ride the wind (10)

  Pomona was walking in the forbidden forest in late autumn, looking for sorbus trees. According to the ancient Romans, the wood in this season is the most suitable for making materials, whether it is building materials or shipbuilding.

  At this time, after spring buds, summer leaves, and autumn fruits, there is no water in the trees, and they need to save a winter to prepare for the new cycle next year.

Vitruvius even believed that if the fir trees grow in shaded and dark places, they are not only very large, but also have particularly strong veins, so when they are felled by an ax and lose their vitality, they still remain dry, but because of the gaps Too big, but empty and useless, so it is not durable for use in buildings.

  Walking halfway, she found a clump of castor bean, which actually had purple flowers, so she stopped and took down a small clump.

The twenty-fourth chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions wrote that Baoyu sat on the edge of the bed, took off his shoes and waited for the time to put on boots. Looking back, he saw Yuanyang wearing a water-red satin jacket, looking down at the needlework with his face down, and wearing a collar around his neck. Baoyu leaned his face to her neck, smelled the scent of incense, and kept rubbing it with his hands. The whiteness and greasyness were not under the attack, so he salivated on his upper body and smiled, "Good sister, put your mouth Let me eat your rouge." As she spoke, one side stuck to her body like a twisted candy.

  If this were replaced by Jia Huan, Yuanyang would have to slap her in the face. Not only Yuanyang, but also the spectators would feel disgusted. It is precisely because he is "Baoyu" that he just got the girl's coquettishness.

  Anyway, on the day of the ball, everyone will definitely dress up, and there will be no shortage of spices. The castor bean is a fatty plant that is used to make castor oil, which has sedative properties and is at the same time a deadly poison.

First, it really poisons people, but as Paracelsus said, all substances are poisonous. The difference between a potion and a poison lies in the dose. A small dose of castor oil can cure the disease. It is used in the medical wing. can be found.

  Secondly, it is the material of the love potion, if it is added with the sorbus branch, if it is added with the godigan grass, will it produce the effect similar to the love potion when it is burned together? Although the vast majority of love potions are liquid, even if the lid is opened, the smell is "steam".

  Pomona collected the small clump of castor, and was about to leave when she heard crying.

  She followed the crying for a while, and saw a Gryffindor girl sitting on a stone crying, and she recognized the girl as "Amata" at a glance.

  In the scene in the auditorium, not only "Asha" was hurt, but "Amata" also had a bad life.

  Chapter seventy-ninth, when Qingwen died, Jia Baoyu wrote a poem to pay tribute to her, and then she heard a voice in the shadow of the flowers, but Lin Daiyu came out with a smile on her face.

  Pomona felt terrible when she saw this scene. How can Lin Daiyu, who can cry for funeral flowers, smile all over her face when a person dies? They were still in the mood to discuss poetry later, and Daiyu changed "in the red silk tent, the son is passionate, in the loess ridge, the daughter is miserable" to "under the Qian screen window, the son is passionate, in the loess ridge, the daughter is miserable".

  Later she read the following, Qingwen is a maid, Daiyu is a young lady, a maid died, why should Daiyu worry?

  Baoyu is sentimental, and it is precisely because of his sentimentality that he changed the poem to "Under Qian's screen window, I have no fate, and in the loess ridge, what is your fate?" Daiyu immediately looked solemn after hearing this.

  Some people have deep love for the dead, but not so much love for the living. How can Daiyu bear that Baoyu has other women in his heart?

   Then she stopped him from thinking about ghost poems and let him do serious business.

  In "Dangerous Liaisons", when Velmont approached Mrs. Dewey, Mrs. Dewey also felt very uncomfortable at first, but he himself felt good.

  He is a notorious, playful libertine. If he had serious business to do, he wouldn’t have so much time to spend with women. What’s more, he is a hereditary nobleman who earns income even without working.

  "Amata" was planning for "Unlucky Knight", everything was arranged for him, and he had to help him complete it.

  She herself is also very good. She already got an internship in the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic. I don’t know if the scene in the auditorium will affect her, and the reason why she cried is also related to this.

   Seeing "Amata" cry, Pomona wanted to cry too. In the Fountain of Fortune story, Amata throws the memory of all the happy times with her lover into the river, letting the current carry it away, and at the same time she realizes what a heartless man he was, and then She fell in love with the "unlucky knight" she had just met.

  None of the three witches soaked in the Fountain of Good Luck, but the "unlucky knight" did. He felt that he was one of the lucky ones in a thousand, and felt elated by the inconceivable good luck. How similar was the effect to the Elixir of Fortune?

   "What are you looking at?"

  Pomona looked over and saw that it was Severus, who also looked at the crying "Amata".

   But this Gryffindor girl has chestnut hair and no green eyes.

   Probably because she hadn't answered, he turned to look at her.

   "What are you doing?" He asked inexplicably.

   "You went to Diagon Alley that day, did you take a long vacation for Rita Kiester?" Pomona asked.

  He smiled complacently, "Who told you?"

  Because the Daily Prophet did not publish relevant news, Emily sent the owl out of school. She even suspected that the school had intercepted the owl and sent it to the Hogsmeade post office, but there was still no news.

   "Where did she go?" Pomona asked.

   "She went to the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards, which will make her resume look better." Severus said, "By the way, this was not my idea, I was just doing what I was ordered to do."

  Pomona looked at the sky and took a deep breath.

   "You want to know whose idea it was?" Severus said dryly.

  Pomona ignored him and turned to look for "Amata". When she saw someone coming, she stopped crying immediately and wiped away her tears.

   "What are you doing?" Amata looked at Pomona warily.

   "Marriage sometimes depends on luck. If you meet someone who is not good, try to live for yourself until one day, someone treats you like a phoenix egg." Pomona said.

   "You said that to her too?" Amata smiled sarcastically.

   "No, there are many people accompanying her, but you are alone." Pomona raised her head and said, "Not every piece of wood in this forest can become useful, so don't waste your efforts on a piece of rotten wood."

   "Can you?" Amata asked Pomona.

Pomona had no way to answer her. She turned around sullenly, and walked in the direction she came from. At first, she was unaccompanied. When she got to the empty place, she heard hurried footsteps, and then her arm was grabbed. .

   "What are you messing with?" He frowned and asked with a bitter expression, which made him several years older.

   "I was thinking about a question."

"what is the problem?"

   "If 'Amata' heard the news of 'Asha' and could not show her emotions, and smiled and blessed, would they still be friends?" Pomona said in a breath, and he seemed not to understand.

   "If we are friends, we can stay together forever!" She said excitedly, "Maybe he and 'Asha' won't be able to get together in the end!"

   He looked at her in shock.

   She feels she can't do it, let alone the hotheaded "Amata".

  So she left him and ran into the red leaves flying in the sky.

  ——————————————————————

   Legend has it that in the wilderness of Troy, there was a river, and cows and horses grew red near the river. This river was called Xanthos. Not far from this river, there is a dangerous "water of death". Those who drink it will die, and those who bathe will die. There is a tree with purple flowers beside this spring water, warning people not to approach .

  Before Caesar, silk was not so highly regarded by people, but Tyrian purple appeared in the 15th century BC and was associated with fame, wealth, etc.

  Its production process is very complicated, and it needs to be manually squeezed one by one. Although grape purple and other pigments can be used to make purple, these purples are not Tyrian purple.

The snails that produce this purple color grow in many places, but the snails in the north of Gallia are black, and the ones in the west are blue. It must be the snails in the east and west of the tropic line to produce that purple color. This drop of liquid was squeezed out at the beginning It was light yellow at the time, and it turned into sea green in the sun, then blue, and finally purple red, and it turned red if the direction was a little bit off.

   It is believed that the dye is related to the sun god, and even the consuls of the Senate will wear only a wide Tyrian purple belt.

  Dyeing this kind of cloth requires ammonia and therefore urine, and the stench of rotting conch is so unbearable that this kind of cloth dyeing workshop will be driven to the suburbs. But even if it was not born in the sea like Venus, people still pursue it.

The price of raw silk will increase by 150 times after passing the overland Silk Road. If it is measured in units of length in Chang'an, it must be measured in pounds when it arrives in Constantinople. On the other side is gold.

  Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang went to the west to learn scriptures, cleared the customs all the way and confronted so many demons and ghosts, and they didn't need the golden cudgel of the Dragon King of the East China Sea to deal with people.

If the final transaction price is not 200 times, then this trip is worthless. If the silk and satin were dyed Tyrian purple, it would be exclusive to the emperor. Even at the end of the Western Roman Empire, the emperor could not pay for his wife. Bought a Tyrian purple dress.

  The Byzantine Empire called this color "purple birth", and the empress's delivery room would be arranged like this, which meant that the little prince could see it as soon as he opened his eyes.

   And it all has something to do with the encounter in Alexandria in 48 BC.

  When Georgiana walked through the exhibition halls with Egyptian cultural relics, no one paid attention at first, and the eyes of the visitors were all on the exhibits, until no one recognized her, and others turned their attention to her.

  They began to surround and chase her. She felt that she was in danger, and others seemed to feel it. Richard immediately grabbed her arm and led her away from the nearest exit.

  When they got into the carriage, people waved to them enthusiastically from the window and shouted.

  She couldn't hear most of the voices, but she heard the name.

   Then the carriage left the public place.

   "It's really dangerous." Richard let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had gone through an adventure.

  Mary and Mrs. Edgeworth laughed, too, and she was probably the only one who felt glum.

  She almost forgot that it was in the forest that she put an end to it.

  Not all couples can live and die together. One Egyptian even asked the ghost how long his life was. Cleopatra did not commit suicide immediately after Caesar's death, she died with Antony.

   Some people may think that she is more suitable for Caesar, but...

   "What are you thinking?" Mary asked, she was speaking in French, obviously the carriage was full of English speakers.

   "My student, how is she doing in London?" Pomona said coldly.

   There is one more thing she almost forgot, Padma is still in this world.

   What a stinky shit, she clearly told herself that she would never make the same mistake again, but fortunately she just almost forgot this time.

   She watched the scene in front of her fly by. At this moment, in this world of ice and snow, where should she find an owl.
