Chapter 1796 up your alley (5)

"Have you ever seen Sirius Black's tattoos?"

Severus asked Lucius Malfoy after seeing a shot of a shirtless boxer in a movie.

"What?" Lucius asked confused.

"Tattoo." Severus pointed to his chest, "There is a symbol that looks like a goat's horn."

"I didn't notice it," Lucius said. "I've never seen him without clothes."

Severus stared at him for a moment, then turned his attention to the screen.

The boxer's wife and his children appear in the camera.

"He is no different from the Smiling Man." Severus looked at the heroine's bright eyes and said, "They both make money to support their families."

"Why do you have this question?" Lucius asked.

"The Black family has a secret study. I wonder if he has any spells tattooed on his body."

Lucius thought thoughtfully.

"I saw rune patterns on his neck." Lucius said, "I thought they were left by Azkaban. You can wait until Kreacher comes back. Maybe he knows something."

"Have the Blacks ever tried alchemy?" Severus asked.

"Of course." Lucius said without hesitation.

"how do you know?"

"Isn't this obvious?" Lucius spread his hands.

Severus couldn't find the right words for a moment.

"He was a big trouble." Lucius whispered, "But Sissy is still sad about his death. After all, he is the last man in the Black family."

"If he had an amulet on him, he might not be dead."

"That's impossible." Lucius smiled and said, "Harry Potter personally confirmed it. Those ghosts said he was dead. You told me this."

Severus then suddenly realized.

"I saw a dog just like him over there." He said after a moment, "He took me into the intelligence department of the French Army."

"What did you find?"

"A charter for saltpeter," said Severus.

"Why didn't he just take you to Pomona?" Lucius asked.

"In Sobek's realm, we will lose magic power, but alchemical items will not." Severus said. "I have heard of Hermetic Alchemy and Horus Alchemy, but not of Anglian Alchemy."

Saxon Alchemy.”

Lucius was thoughtful.

Severus didn't interrupt him, he was also recalling Black's tattoos.

"There is a symbol, just under his collar." Lucius said, "Three horizontal lines and one vertical line. That is not the rune pattern we know."

"Do you know what that means?" Severus asked.

"I told you, I don't know him." Lucius said impatiently, "Speaking of which, do you think this acquisition is related to the Indonesian tsunami?"

"What?"

"As far as I know, the Americans have many factories in Indonesia. This time they wanted to be rescued, but the Indonesian president refused." Lucius said.

"I've never heard of that," Severus said honestly.

"Do you remember Honduras?" Lucius said. "The Americans also intervened after Honduras encountered a hurricane. In addition to rescue ships, they also sent soldiers to this rescue."

Severus smiled "Do you really believe that Muggles invented weather weapons?"

"I do think so." Lucius said seriously, "Indonesia is a country with many hurricanes. If the Americans use weather weapons to lead hurricanes to Indonesia..."

"I believe in artificial rainfall, but I don't believe they have the power to change hurricanes." Severus interrupted Lucius's unfounded worries.

"How about asking your kid? He seems to know a lot of things." Lucius asked.

"That's just their wishful thinking," Severus said firmly.

"They dreamed up many things, but many of them came true. It was you who told me not to underestimate them." Lucius Malfoy said.

"That would cost a lot of money," Severus argued.

"I know you have to find some excuse to allocate the budget." Lucius said, "But I think weather weapons are much more credible than looking for aliens."

"I'll ask later." Severus said expressionlessly, looking ahead gloomily.

Stealing corpses is illegal, but in the face of the huge demand for medical schools, some people still steal corpses, and some corpses are even used as "evidence" in murder cases.

Doctors often collaborated with grave robbers, and Andreas Viselius, the father of modern anatomy, studied the bones in the Holy Infant Cemetery.

It was not until 1832 that the Anatomy Act was promulgated. Corpses used for medical dissection required the consent of family members. The passage of this act even caused riots.

At that time, in the public perception, the dissected corpses were all from death row prisoners. This became a punishment for the poor, because relatives would agree to the dissection after receiving money, which would affect their resurrection after trial.

You can't imagine what humans will do after breaking through the bottom line.

Sometimes the scary thing is that what you need to guard against is not the dead, but the living. How do you know if there will be a murderer like Jack the Ripper, or someone who killed Sarah the Civet in Venice and threw her body into the lagoon?

The people inside appeared in the catacombs.

"Let's go look elsewhere." Severus said, then turned and left the theater.

"Have you ever wondered why there are so many arched colonnades built in the Montsuri Reservoir?" Lucius asked behind Severus.

"For the World's Fair," Severus said.

"Buried under an arch." Lucius said, "This is a Christian burial custom. Have you ever been to St. Denis Church?"

"Been there," Severus said dryly.

"That church has a double-vaulted structure, but people earlier were buried vertically, with coffins placed on the walls. Later, they were buried lying down."

"You're saying that Montsouri Reservoir was originally intended to be a cemetery?" Severus asked.

"I didn't say that." Lucius said, "Maybe they plan to build an underground church."

Severus shook his head, as if he didn't want to continue the topic.

"Aaron struck the water of the Nile with his staff. The water soon turned red and was no longer drinkable." Lucius said in a hurry. "Aaron still used the same staff after leaving Egypt. Between the rocks,

A clear spring appeared."

"The water in the reservoir comes from the canal, it's not a miracle." Severus said.

"Do you know why milk cartons are square and Coke bottles are cylindrical?" Lucius asked again.

"Why do you suddenly talk so much?"

"Coke can be kept at room temperature without worrying about spoilage. It can be placed on ordinary shelves, but milk must be refrigerated." Lucius said, "If you use cylindrical bottles, a lot of space will be wasted. Milk bottles will be delivered to your home on the same day.

It’s a cylindrical glass bottle, you should know this, right?”

"I never drank milk when I was little," Severus said coldly.

"That's why you're not cute at all." Lucius said calmly, "What kind of child doesn't want to drink milk?"

"You think it's cute for children to drink milk?" Severus asked in disbelief.

"Draco was very cute when he drank milk when he was little, but he was a little too cute and not masculine at all." Lucius said with a smile, "From then on I decided that I must be strict with him."

"I don't think Draco drinking milk is cute," Severus said grimly.

"Speaking of milk, do you remember the story of pouring milk during the Great Depression?" Lucius continued. "If it were me, I would make it into dairy products. For example, cheese can be stored and kept for decades.

Can appreciate in value..."

Severus listened indifferently to Lucius's business experience, and his eyes scanned the various caves.

The French have a habit of drinking cheese with wine.

There are many types of cheese in France, which of course require milk to produce. Danone also produces cheese.

Pork that cannot be sold can be made into cans and bacon, stored for a few years and then sold. It would be a waste to destroy it directly like Americans did during the Great Depression.

Milk flowing in a river is a beautiful metaphor, but flowing it this way is a waste of money.

In the past, when the Hebrews were wandering in the desert with no food, Jehovah gave them manna to eat. Newton tried to refine this material when he was still "new".

If he succeeds, there will be less suffering in the world.
