Chapter 1571 Life and Death Sniper (1)

A prince is respected when he is a true ally or enemy, that is, when he does not hesitate to show his support for one person over another, and this strategy is always more beneficial than remaining neutral.

Because if two powerful countries close to you come together, the result will be nothing more than this: if one wins, you will either be afraid of the victor or not. In either case, if you do not take a stand, you will always become the victor.

get the spoils of war, and the defeated will be happy and satisfied. And you will have no reason or anything to defend you, or to seek refuge, because whoever wins has no need to have doubtful allies to help him in adversity, and whoever loses

Nor will he protect you because you are unwilling to take up arms to share his luck.

Georgiana closed "The Prince" and looked at the sunset outside the carriage.

"Whoever wins doesn't need doubtful allies who don't help him in times of adversity." She murmured these words.

In the battle between Gryffindor and Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw remained neutral in most cases. She was used to neutrality, but the so-called neutrality was not completely neutral.

Ever since eldest son Ernie Macmillan supported Harry, Hufflepuff has been gradually siding with Gryffindor. During the Battle of Hogwarts, most of the people who stayed to protect the school besides Gryffindor were Hufflepuff.

.

From the story Napoleoni just told, Venice, a neutral country, is not completely neutral. They also favor Austria. Marcel, the mayor of Paris, did not choose Charles V and Charles II supported by the British. If he

If he really accepted Charles II, it would be easy to open the door to the city. In the end, he would be chopped into pieces by the hungry citizens of the city, and he would be declared treason by Charles V.

Now it's time for her to choose a side.

In the past, she could trust Albus unconditionally, leave all her thoughts to him, and be responsible for obeying orders. Now she needs to handle it herself.

The gunpowder currently used by humans is black, like black fertile soil, while gold is golden. She looked at the Cherokee gold feather she used as a bookmark. In addition to California, South Carolina

There is actually gold east of the Mississippi River. It was accidentally discovered by locals while digging canals. As Monroe said, the Cherokees were learning from Americans in farming.

North and South Carolina used to be gathering places for Indians. Later, they were driven away from their hometown and came to the barren western United States.

Because of the discovery of gold mines, fierce battles broke out between the Cherokees and the Americans, who originally coexisted peacefully. In the end, the Cherokees had to set aside the land east of the Mississippi River and retain ownership of the land in the west.

As Napoleon sold Louisiana to the United States, the massacre and removal of Indians began during the term of President Jefferson, who claimed to want to live in peace with the "red men."

The geographical superiority of the United States allows them to develop themselves in the midst of disputes and wars in Europe, Africa, and Asia. In the Declaration of Independence, all people are created equal and do not include other races, not even French, Spanish, and Italians.

So what kind of people are born equal to Americans?

Since the British Navy is looking for sailors with Irish and English accents to serve as sailors, what will happen if a large number of immigrants begin during the Gold Rush?

Not all minors have the chance to grow up. Georgiana feels sad when she thinks of those students who died young, before they had time to see a wider world, and this is because of Dumbledore's

The plan is to make Harry grow up as happy as a piggy, and then die when the time is right.

She heard that Indians can make magic wands, and they use cat and leopard hair. Will this kind of wand be particularly good at hypnosis?

She couldn't remember exactly where the gold mines were in South Carolina, but since someone would try alchemy and find phosphorus in their urine because they listened to the drunken talk in the tavern, maybe they would also have the chance to discover gold mines.

Georgiana smiled and began to think of ways to get the rumor spread.

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The current situation was too complicated and she couldn't think about it in the long term. Besides, if no one believed it, it would be just a fake news that would be quickly forgotten, although there was a gold mine in South Carolina.

The thing is indeed true.

Severus was standing in front of the tombs of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI in the Church of Saint-Denis.

They knelt on the ground in a praying posture. Louis XVI wore a crown on his head, while Marie Antoinette only had a veil on her head. The sunlight shined through the colored glass on the plaster statue, which looked very gorgeous.

The coffins of other French kings that were damaged during the Revolution have also been restored, with no signs of depression or dilapidation at all.

"What are we doing here?" Gong Saiyi asked after walking around.

"Have you ever heard of the Mass of the Dead?" Severus said slowly and lowly.

"what is that?"

Severus looked at Gongcey, "This is a kind of ancient Roman ritual, which gradually disappeared after the time of Charlemagne."

"Is it similar to séance?" Felix Young asked.

"It's a little different," Severus said. "It requires something called a memento des morts."

"You want to summon the ghost of Marie Antoinette?" Gongsei lowered his voice, "Are you crazy?"

"Her undead must have been purified. Ordinary summoning spells cannot find her." Severus said, "What is summoned by this method is not her soul."

"What's that?" Felix Young asked.

"I don't know." Severus said irresponsibly, "I only found out after trying it. The location where we are now is theoretically her burial place (ista sepultura est)."

"This is a female body recovered from a mass grave." Gong Saiyi said anxiously, "Her head was chopped off."

"All the skeletons here were recovered from mass graves." Severus said slowly, "That's why we need the Book of the Dead, it will reveal the names of the deceased."

Gong Saiyi was so shocked that he was speechless.

"And you can also use it to see if it is Napoleon Bonaparte who is buried in his grave." Severus added, "Do you know why there is an epitaph on the tombstone?"

"To commemorate the people buried there," Felix said.

"This is an ancient tradition, which means to call the living. The epitaph left by the deceased himself or written by the clergy is more like a pious invitation. The older macabre is a kind of living person.

For conversations with the dead, people will leave inscriptions on stone slabs and copper plates. Those who recite the inscriptions can have conversations with the dead, such as that one." Severus pointed to a stone tablet not far from the church. "Are there many people on it?

?”

Gong Saiyi and Felix looked over together.

"That's a funeral procession. Hosting the Mass of the Dead can increase the income of the church. At the same time, the deceased can spend money to hire poor people to attend his funeral. Even if he was a nuisance when he was alive, his funeral will be full, so that he will not be alone.

He had to die, and the poor people received some charity on behalf of the deceased's relatives and friends. According to the rules, each of them would be given a black robe with a hood. The scene was the same as what was engraved on the stone tablet."

"What does that have to do with it?" Felix said inexplicably.

"Do you know that ancient nobles had the custom of burying slaves in burials?" Severus asked. "Those poor people who could not withstand the temptation of money and followed the funeral would be killed on the spot in the cemetery and then buried. This was also what Napoleon said

hopefully."

"I've never heard of him doing that!" Gong Saiyi said sternly.

"I didn't say he wanted to kill slaves and be buried." Severus calmly looked at the tomb where Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were buried together. "He doesn't lack soldiers, he lacks a queen."

"Josephine..." Gong Saiyi said after a while.

"What do you think Napoleon wanted most?" Severus asked.

"He wants to be emperor," Felix said immediately.

Severus didn't answer.

"The era she lived in was the darkest time before wizards retired." Severus said, "It would be much easier if Muggles didn't believe in magic at all, but precisely because they believed there was magic, they kept looking for it and hiding it everywhere.

Wizards, and wizards could not resist the temptation, so they ignored the international law of secrecy and participated in Muggle affairs. It is inevitable that we will come into contact with Muggle rulers. Napoleon was looking for love on the one hand, and he was pursuing power on the other.

In the arms of a woman. By the end of his political career, he no longer longed for power. He wanted to live on the island of Elba among European scientists, whether it was his mother or his sister.

Paulina can't provide it, which is the motivation for him to choose Pomona, or an English woman like her, as his target."

"This is crazy," Gongsei said.

"Can you all see Pomona?" Severus asked.

"Of course." Gongsei and Felix replied.

"This is what troubles him." Severus smiled sarcastically, "People with rich imaginations are prone to paranoia. He can't tell whether his sister Dinasad really exists or is a ghost.

Or maybe it’s a dream.”

"What?" Gong Saiyi asked strangely.

"The final enemy is death," Severus said. "I'm beginning to understand why she would want to share her life with me."

"Is this your secret?" Felix asked.

Severus and Goncely looked at him together.

"I asked my father and mother what they said, and they always said 'secret' to me." Felix said ignorantly.

Severus looked at the sculpture of Marie Antoinette again and said, "Sometimes, I think she died last year. I thought she was still alive, or she was still in St. Mungo's Hospital."

unconscious."

"No wonder you asked us if we could see her just now." Gong Saiyi whispered.

"Everyone thought I was dead." Severus said. "She may have thought that what she saw was a ghost, or it was her hallucination. What's worse is that she still has hundreds of years to live, because she is a mixed race.

Veela."

"I heard that some mixed-race charm babies are about the same age as humans," Gong Saiyi said.

"Obviously we're not that lucky," Severus said. "So for people like us, it's unimaginable that anyone would want to live forever."

"I've heard rumors about Nick Flamel's Philosopher's Stone..." Gong Saiyi said in surprise.

"It has been destroyed." Severus said immediately. "I once protected it."

"He trusts you quite a lot," Gong Saiyi said.
