Chapter 1049 The Sage’s Dream

Before the ball begins, the last people to enter are the distinguished guests, but even if there is a ball held in the palace, not every ball will be attended by the king.

In fairy tales, we often see princes and princesses appearing at balls. They are the heirs or non-heirs of the kingdom. They sometimes represent the king himself.

Usually princes will wear military uniforms with medals on their chests, while princesses will wear gorgeous dresses, expensive jewelry and the most eye-catching crowns.

At first glance, the maze built by "Dark Light" Hagrid looks like a beautiful garden. There are many marble sculptures in it, especially on the third floor. There is a group of sculptures. A group of fairies surround a man wearing a crown.

As a young girl, the crown has seven bases with precious stones, just like the beautiful crown that the legendary Dionysus gave to the princess Ariadne.

But the princess died not long after the wedding. The always happy Dionysus was heartbroken and threw the crown into the air. The crown rose higher and higher, and finally rose to the list of stars and became the constellation Corona Borealis.

Even though she had already made up her mind that the third piece of metal was related to the constellation Virgo, Pomona couldn't help but bring the star Alpha Corona Borealis into her field of vision.

This star is also one of the fifteen magic stars. Its name is Gemma, which means "pearl, gem".

It was once written in The Prince: People love peace, so they like gentle monarchs; soldiers need war to increase their wealth and honor, so they like brave, bold, and ambitious monarchs.

When there is a war, there will be trophies, jewelry, gold, artwork, sculptures, books, etc. The soldiers will give the best trophies to the king to gain his favor, but they will also keep some for themselves, so war is a way for soldiers to make money.

great opportunity.

The prince in military uniform may be a gentle monarch, and the princess in skirt may be a bold queen. Sometimes what we love is not a person, but our desires. It is difficult for the people and the military to get along, and it is bound to be difficult to accommodate one party.

Offending the other side - the military needs to increase military spending, and the people need money to build infrastructure.

The monarch must master the balance, and this is often difficult to achieve because there are so many flatterers in the court.

Most people, including the common people themselves, are not resistant to sweet talk. Small vendors try their best to praise customers for how good they look in the clothes they sell. Customers will feel the same when they look in the mirror, even if it is actually as ugly as ever in the history of mankind.

The ugliest handkerchiefs ever made.

People tend to be complacent about their own affairs and are intoxicated with it. This plague is difficult to resist. Even if you resist, you will run the risk of being despised.

The relationship between Voldemort and Albus Dumbledore is like two monarchs with different styles. The declining pure-blood aristocrats hope to regain their past glory and wealth through force, while the peace-loving commoners do not want that

Many wars.

Voldemort has little resistance to sweet talk, he likes the feeling of being pleased; the old fool Dumbledore won the love of many civilians, he was wise enough to see through Tom Riddle's true face after sweet talk, and was not deceived like Slughorn

, but was despised by the aristocracy.

Ah, The Prince, Pomona had read it a long time ago, and today she took it out of the pile to review it.

The books she read grew freely like her greenhouse, with only occasional pruning of branches. Unlike Severus's bookcases, which were meticulously organized and orderly, he liked the style of the Padua Botanical Garden.

When the books are used, it is easy to regret the lack of them, but there are too many books, and it is still difficult to find them.

Severus watched her rummaging through the books unsympathetically, with no intention of helping.

Maybe he was thinking about how to "ask for leave" from Voldemort. After all, he had served Voldemort much longer than she had.

She could only comfort herself by thinking this, otherwise the gloating smile on his face as he stood idly by would make her unable to help but punch him.

Fortunately, he didn't say "I asked you to sort it out a long time ago", otherwise she would be so angry that she would lose her mind and do something she would never think of.

"The monarch has two ways to control his subjects, one is law and the other is force. The former applies to humans and the latter applies to beasts. Therefore, he should find a half-man and half-beast as a teacher, because the monarch can only get one of them.

It will never become a climate."

Severus stood on the "shore" and said leisurely, letting Pomona be drowned by the "sea of ​​books".

"He should learn from lions and foxes. Lions can't avoid traps, but they can scare away other beasts. Foxes are cunning enough to see through traps, but they don't have enough power to scare away jackals, tigers, and leopards." Pomona was angry.

Panting, he moved the book and answered the second half of the excerpt he read.

"When the Lion King gets older and is no longer able to scare away the beasts, he can only learn the cunningness of the fox." Severus twitched his lips with a sarcastic smile, "He is not only a great wizard, but also a great liar and liar.

hypocrite."

"Don't say that about him!" Pomona defended.

"Oh, you know who I'm talking about?" Slytherin's venomous snake spit out the poison, waiting for her to answer and continue to spray venom.

She knew the time well enough to continue moving books.

"He broke his promise." Severus said proudly, "It seems that he has implemented that sentence very well and knows when to be a moral and honest person and when to act recklessly."

"You were the one who made him angry first."

"He begged me to kill him." Severus roared gloomily. "But he didn't leave any escape route for me!"

"Can you please stop talking about this?" she said tiredly.

"That old bastard." The former double agent cursed viciously, "He deserves to have his tomb robbed."

Appeared again.

Pomona rolled her eyes and began to concentrate on being a listener. Although Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw also had conflicts, it was not as heated as when Gryffindor and Slytherin met. Every time these two

Playing Quidditch together in the house is like a gang fight.

Even girls are like this. In the dueling club, Hermione Granger and Millicent were rolling around on the floor with their hair pulled. The scene was indeed not as elegant as skirts flying and dancing on the dance floor, but it was better than Ravenclaw.

Lao's girl Zang Qiuzhang's dress must be fair and aboveboard.

Cinderella was sad because she didn't have a dress to attend the ball, and Pomona didn't know whether they did it out of jealousy or because of conflicts in the house. After all, Cedric was Hufflepuff's.

Ah, a girl's heart is so complicated and scary.

"The Prince is flying!" Pomona finally used the flying spell, and a thin book quickly flew into her hand.

"What are you looking for in this book?" Severus asked. "If you have any questions, you can ask me."

"Uh..." she began to remember.

For what purpose did she seek this book in the first place?

"Many people think that a wise monarch is not praised for his own wisdom, but because he listens to the advice provided by others. Do you think that's right?"

Pomona raised her head. In the aisle between the bookshelves, there was a man standing on the floor of the second floor. He was holding on to the railing and looking down at her.

The copper telescope and the flying star charts look very magical and unreal.

"Who are you?" Pomona asked.

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, teach us something." The man suddenly sang in a funny voice.

"Merlin's beard!" she shouted. "Stop singing!"

Every time the whole school sings the school song together in their own favorite tune, maybe only the Weasley twins feel happy.

"That's it!" The man snapped his fingers. "If the king consults more than one person, and everyone has their own arguments, then the unwise king will always coordinate his own views, and this is the biggest weakness of the democratic system.

, arguing when decisiveness is needed, and the result is giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of."

"But no unwise king will listen to other people's advice." She murmured, "I will also give you a 'Don't mind your own business'."

"If the king only listens to one person's opinion, then the person who gave him advice is bound to seize power." The person said, "Especially when the army is also in his hands."

"Boring." She said boringly, "I don't like this topic."

"So what topic do you find interesting?"

She thought for a while and picked up a book from the stack of books - "Food Magic and How to Hold a Banquet for 1,000 People".

"I like this!" she said, holding up the book, but the man disappeared.

In an instant, the surroundings around her quickly became dark, and the jingling instruments disappeared, leaving only the star charts, which turned into stars in the sky, and the void beneath her feet turned into a void.

"ah!"

A powerful feeling of falling hit her, and she couldn't help but scream.

When she felt down to earth again, she found herself still on the sofa in the secret room.

"It seems that birds can fly inside." Voldemort said in her mind, "But I can't enter the last level of the maze."

Pomona was shocked and speechless.

She just took a nap, and the maze sand table in front of her changed again.

The structure inside the magic circle is now revealed.
