Chapter 1850 Journey to the Ruins(1/2)

 Chapter 1852 “Barrel Crack”

The formation of a man's character is closely related to women. When he was a child, he was his mother, when he grew up, he was his wife, and maybe he will have a daughter in the future. It was his mother Letizia who supported Napoleon during the Battle of Toulon.

, it was supposed to be Josephine when he got married.

Bonaparte did make a mistake in his command in the Battle of Marengo. Fortunately, a cavalry charge was launched at the critical moment of the battle, turning the battle into victory. In the end, it was the Austrians who took off their uniforms and became prisoners.

Mercy is the right of the victor. After winning the victory, Bonaparte looked at the corpses on the battlefield and wrote a letter to the Austrian Emperor hoping for peace talks. If he had lost at that time, the content of the letter would have been changed to something else.

.

It was a war gambling on the fate of the country. If it hadn't been for this victory, Napoleon Bonaparte would not have been able to force Francis II to return the national debt owed to Belgium at an equal price.

If the war is lost, the national debt issued by the country will become waste paper. This is a rule that many people know. The Belgians never thought that one day the money they borrowed would be returned, which gave Talleyrand the opportunity to make a fortune.

This move not only bought people's hearts, but also caused Austria to lose a lot of money after suffering a defeat, and was unable to form an army in a short time.

Unless the Austrians teach their subjects that the pieces of paper they hold in their hands are money.

During the First Italian War, Bonaparte did not send all his wealth back to his country. He gave the proceeds of plunder to bankers he felt he could trust under a pseudonym, and passed the responsibility to others. Eugène Beauharnais helped Italian gangsters

It is these "businesses" that he manages.

If Napoleon and Josephine divorced, would Eugene still be a trustworthy person? He would never give his secret treasury to someone he couldn't trust, so there was a problem - for the sake of the children, he wouldn't

Will divorce Josephine, unless Eugene feels that the benefits of divorce outweigh the benefits of barely maintaining the marriage.

Josephine did not lose the support of her children, but the world was hard and dangerous, and Pomona learned her lesson. She showed mercy and saved Wormtail who fell in the snow. Not only did she not receive his gratitude, but she was like a farmer who saved a snake.

Like being bitten. A woman who has lost her child is definitely the most dangerous creature in the world. Maternal love is gentle, but women in ancient Rome would kill babies who were not strong enough.

It is terrible for women to be vicious, just like Princess Medea. The gospel not only prohibits cannibalism, but also prohibits infanticide. Missionaries persisted in emphasizing the sanctity of life and opposed infanticide in pagan cultures.

.

Cicero justified infanticide by citing the clause in the Law of the Twelve Tables that "deformed infants should be killed". To the Romans, "What problem do we have with drowning children who are born weak and deformed?"

Christians equate infanticide with murder. The Didache of the Twelve Apostles also clearly instructs "You shall not kill infants." However, the bad habit of infanticide has never been completely eradicated, so witches have arisen to sacrifice their newborn children to

The devil's story.

Even if it was not intentional like Theodora's, Pomona might still be abnormal because of the baby's problem. Molly lost Fred, but she had several other children surrounding her. This

Make her feel much better.

The moment they put on their uniforms, the soldiers' attributes as sons of man seemed to disappear. They turned into numbers, becoming part of others' military achievements of "annihilating 3,000 enemies" or "commanding 20,000 enemies."

part of it.

The only thing that can identify them is the "dog tag", but that is a thing only in the 20th century. Soldiers in the past did not have it. When a body is blurred by the flames of war, or other weapons damage it and cannot be identified,

He will be buried as "Anonymous".

Sometimes because of the intense fighting and lack of manpower, nearby farmers would clean up the battlefield. A farmer found the body of Bold Charlie first and discovered the huge yellow diamond on the Duke. However, the farmer was ignorant and sold the diamond as glass, losing the

Thanks to this identification mark, his corpse did not decompose quickly, otherwise his subordinates would not be able to find him so quickly in the mountain of corpses by identifying his face.

Identifying corpses is also part of police work. Jack the Ripper once deliberately damaged the face of the deceased. Some people think that he wanted to destroy the face of the deceased to make the investigation more difficult.

People sometimes have an uncontrollable desire to destroy. Bonaparte was a builder but also a destroyer. He was actually not far from going crazy. But he was self-aware enough to write in his diary that he knew he was going crazy. And

Others may not have that kind of self-awareness. In the future shown by the crystal ball, the Arc de Triomphe has been destroyed, and underneath it is the Monument to the Unknown Hero.

Every country has its own symbol of sanctity, and it is precisely because of its sanctity that churches become sanctuaries.

When soldiers dare to break into churches to destroy and loot, it is a sacrilege.

It is precisely because the church has the property of a sanctuary that it has become a field hospital.

Even on the plane, the pilots on the bombing mission could still see the church. During the bombing of London, the buildings near St. Paul's Church were bombed, but the church itself was safe.

Perhaps the wounded soldier would fall in love with the nun who cared for him, but he could not propose to her.

Young man, she is the bride of God. No matter what kind of love is burning in your heart, you should find an earthly woman to marry.

It was the nuns who crossed that line and made the nursing profession respectable. In the past, only widows and male doctors took care of soldiers. Some even thought that nurses and soldiers were a perfect match.

Because the commander, Duke Charles, was killed in battle, the troops fell into a state of undisciplined laissez-faire, and Rome fell into a catastrophe. Many buildings that had been built during the Renaissance were destroyed, including churches.

It is very disrespectful to demolish other people's temples and monasteries, not to mention personal harm to their clergy.

Earthly kings and emperors ordered monks and other clergy to return to secular life, destroyed icons, and confiscated property. These can all be classified as "barbaric" behaviors.

St. Louis took off the luxurious clothes belonging to the king, put on a linen robe, and received the crown of thorns. His behavior can actually be included in the books of the apostles. Although he was not a disciple of Jesus, his behavior had a missionary effect.

However, the kings of Europe called him a "perfect monster". There is no flawless person in this world. A saint sometimes makes the people around him feel uncomfortable. He makes the people around him feel that the Creator has left mistakes on him.

He was very happy at first, but someone came out and told him that it was sinful to do so. There used to be a slaughterhouse near the Saint-Jacques Tower. Fortunately, there was a lack of supplies in the Middle Ages. It was not as easy to eat meat as it is now. No one jumped out to accuse eating meat of being sinful.

Yes, but this was indeed a land soaked in blood.

This tower is the starting point of the Santiago de Compost pilgrimage route. A long time ago, the Temple and Temple Street where the Knights Templar were located were in the northeast of it. The Santiago de Compost pilgrimage is not to Jerusalem.

, but went to a small city in Spain. People went there to commemorate the Arab invasion.

That’s why Blaise Pascal’s sculpture is particularly conspicuous here.

When we talk about science and theology, many people always put them in opposing positions.

Science is endless. According to scientific eugenics theory, children born with disabilities should be "screened" out, and bell ringers like Quasimodo should not be alive.

The archdeacon adopted him, whether out of faith or to have an obedient servant. He gave Quasimodo a chance to live and live "unsullied" on the high tower.

When people curse a person, they say he will go to hell, but Machiavelli said, you are not even qualified to go to hell, your soul can only be in Limbo.

There are both mentally retarded babies and highly respected pagans on this floor, which is very similar to Hogwarts. Did those pagan sages ever teach the souls of these mentally retarded babies?

For some people, maybe hell is more suitable because hell is more secular.

Heaven is too high to reach. No matter how high a tower is built, it cannot reach it. It may even cause God's wrath and bring disasters like the Tower of Babel.

"Why did you call me here?" Severus asked, looking at Pascal's sculpture.

No one answered. In fact, this problem existed in the Richelieu Library. The designer who designed the Oval Hall was also named Pascal.

He took out the wine knife obtained from the pneumatic transmission system. It was not as sharp as the Pharaoh's dagger. It could still penetrate the human body after thousands of years, but when it opened the cork, there was still red liquid.

Outflow...

Severus looked around. There were many trees in this park.

There are a lot of good wines stored in that bunker, and their corks are all made of whole pieces of wood. Nowadays, many cheap wine corks are made of wood chips. As the "patron saint" of wine, this kind of cork is made of

Made of oak, Portugal and Spain are the largest producers of cork in the world. This kind of oak is not an ordinary oak, it is a cork oak. It has two layers of bark. The outer bark is peeled off, and the inner bark is peeled off.

It still has vitality and does not affect the survival of the tree, but unlike other trees that can live for thousands of years, it can only live to about 170 years old.

It is not immortal, or has a life span as long as the sky.

He found one among the trees, then poked it in with the corkscrew, and blood-like liquid gushed out like a fountain.

"Let's bet on the existence of God. Let's consider these two situations: If you win, you win everything; if you lose, you lose nothing. Therefore, you don't have to hesitate to bet on the existence of God.

Come on!" said a man.

"I won't play with you." A superior voice said.

"You do not dare?"

"If there is a God, he is infinitely inconceivable; since he has neither parts nor limits, he has nothing to do with us. We can therefore neither know what he is nor whether he exists.

.In this case, who dares to start solving this problem? It can’t be us, we have nothing to do with Him. It is the human heart that feels God, not the reason: God can be felt by the human heart, not the reason.

Yes, if you are in such a gambling situation and you still bet on the non-existence of God, then your behavior is unclear."

"You said I'm not sensible enough?"

"There are too many religions in this world, and the consequences of believing in the wrong god may be serious."

Others laughed and said, "Look, our great genius is a coward."

"What harm does it do you to join this side?" said the superior voice from before.

"When the stakes are finite and the gains are infinite, our propositions have infinite power. This is provable; and if any truth is possible to man, this is the truth."

"Do you want to gain strength? Be a pious, loyal, humble, grateful, kind, sincere and reliable friend. You will never fall into harmful pleasure, glory, or pleasure. I can tell you,

You will win this life because of it.”

“Do you bet ‘Heads’ or ‘Tails’?” said another.

"Don't you want wine?"

Severus looked up and found Albus Dumbledore again.

"Why……"

"Look at this tower." Dumbledore looked up at the tower behind him. "Do you think it is tall enough?"

"This joke is not funny." Severus said through gritted teeth.

"Maybe you misunderstood me." Dumbledore turned to look at Severus, "I'm talking about an experiment. Have you ever heard of Pascal's broken barrel experiment?"

"You mean using wine and water to prove pressure?" Severus asked.
