Chapter 1945 Horn of Plenty (Part 2)

Compared with the big and round sailor that Georgiana saw just now, Napoleoni was a pitiful "little guy". The sailor only needed one hand to lift him up.

Printing often determines the success or failure of a product. Women do not necessarily choose fabrics to make clothes based solely on price, but also on color and pattern. This is also why there is a botanical garden in Rouen. Because of the sanctions imposed by France on the United States, indigo woad is produced.

The price became extremely high, and the woad produced in France could not meet the market demand, so someone tried to dye it with bean flower.

It is a tropical plant and is not suitable for cultivation in France. Whether it is Saint-Domingue or India, ocean shipping is needed. Barry Ron, director of the Bank of France, almost went bankrupt due to investing in shipping, so he took his wife with him this time

Come to Rouen together.

If they are British merchants, they will find ways to open up trade routes on their own, while the French are more dependent and obedient.

Halloween is originally a pagan holiday. In addition to children dressing up as ghosts and asking for sweets, a mass ceremony is also held on that day. However, yesterday the Archbishop of Rouen held a ceremony for Napoleon and the soldiers who came to participate in the military parade. The ceremony will be held today.

He is the priest of Rouen Cathedral.

Even Halloween is a holiday. The church can celebrate Mithras' festival as Christmas, and they can also celebrate Halloween as a festival to celebrate all the saints. However, there are folk ways to celebrate it, and there are already erected in the old market square.

The stand is not for performing shows, but for setting off bonfires at night. The jack-o-lantern is named Jack. It is said that there is a liar named Jack. He even deceived Satan. After his death, he could not go to heaven.

Hell was also driven out by the devil, so he had to wander around the world forever, holding a hollow carrot in his hand with unfinished coal in it. When the Irish immigrated to the United States, they found that there were many pumpkins there.

, and pumpkins are easier to carve than carrots, so I used pumpkins as Jack-O-Lanterns instead.

It is not only for safety reasons that there are so many "little wizards" carrying pumpkins everywhere asking for sweets in broad daylight. There are other activities at night. The big shots go to art galleries to hold masquerades, and the common people light bonfires. In ancient Gaul, this was

This day is regarded as a grand festival to praise autumn, and the Romans also used this day to worship Pomona, the goddess of fruit trees. They would bake apples and apples in front of a roaring bonfire. Festivals of Ancient Rome and Druid Festivals

After integration, it becomes a grand party where everyone can eat, drink, dance and have fun in the square.

Who is in the mood to work during the holidays? Except for restaurants, hotels, pubs and other places, everyone has to get off work early. A song and dance performance also started in the square. A group of women in white Celtic robes danced around the shelf. They sang and danced, George

Anna, however, had no interest in admiring it at all. Her eyes were always looking at the gargoyles on the eaves.

The shape-shifting ghouls will disguise themselves as stone sculptures, but they cannot fly. The strange birds she saw just now have sharp claws like eagles. They are obviously not nut eaters.

"Who is Dagda?" Leon asked seemingly carelessly while watching the singing and dancing.

"What?" she asked.

"Who is Dagda?" he asked again patiently.

"You heard what they sang," she said, pointing to the priestesses. "Dagda, ruler of life and death, god of the earth, master of magic and war."

"Is he the god of civilization?" he asked again.

"Celtic." Georgiana looked at the sky. This time he put his arm around her waist, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.

"What are you doing!" she said sternly, knocking off the hand on her waist.

"Pay attention, I'm talking to you." He looked condescending.

"There are so many people there in broad daylight..." She muttered dissatisfied.

"Do you need me to alert the whole city?" he asked again.

She didn't answer immediately.

In the seventh century, a wind dragon once lived in the Seine River, threatening the safety of Rouen. Later, like all legends, it became part of the legend of the dragon-slaying warriors.

The size of a magical creature is not necessarily directly proportional to its magic power. The sea snake is ten times larger than the basilisk, but it is very docile. She couldn't explain why, but she felt that the bird was full of hostility towards her.

Maybe it's not coming to this city.

"You tell the Guards to be on alert." She finally said, "Maybe I'm overly worried and it's just passing by."

He stared at her, looking a little annoyed.

"That's a magical creature." She explained in vain.

"You think I'm no match for it?" He said indeed.

"This is my job." She said seriously.

He seemed to have heard some joke, and his attitude made people feel annoyed.

"Remember that we passed the Ivri battlefield on the way here? The locals thought that there were hellhounds there. What seems ridiculous to you may not be so to others. During the Revolution, cities were much more chaotic than rural areas.

However, during witch hunts, remote areas and rural areas are much more chaotic than cities."

"You don't believe me." He said with a cold face, "Why?"

Because you are a Muggle!

The words came to her lips but she couldn't say them out. This would hurt his self-esteem.

She originally thought he would be angry and walk away, but he remained silent and continued to look at the dancing priestesses.

"Dagoda represents light. He is the lover of the goddess Morrigan, who represents all evil thoughts and terrors in the supernatural. She takes pleasure in involving humans in wars, and she often turns herself into a terrifying creature.

The image usually takes the form of a crow circling over the battlefield."

"I know." He said calmly, "I've seen a lot of them."

She didn't know what he meant, but she continued.

"Continental people think crows are an ominous omen, but in Britain they are animals worth protecting. There are still a few kept in the Tower of London. If they leave, they will suffer bad luck. The Romans called them cras, which means tomorrow.

Even though the raven approaches and announces that death is imminent, people still feel that it is a blessing."

"Why?" he asked.

"They feel that it is a transformation, just like the Germans feel that after death they will be taken away by Valkyrie and go to Valhalla to enjoy themselves."

He didn't know what she said was funny, but he actually laughed.

"I don't think they are ravens, but they are still a sign of danger, just like the hellhounds that the villagers thought they saw, and the wizards thought they were grins, an ominous omen that represents death."

"Aren't you afraid?" he asked with a smile.

"Isn't today Halloween?" she sneered. "It's fun to scare people."

"You can try to scare me," he said provocatively.

Georgiana looked at him. The last time she showed him her true form, he was not frightened. On the contrary, the bullet that hit his hat made him frightened.

This is the card of Fool. Because you don't know, you are not afraid. Instead, you are much more capable of taking action than those who know more and are timid.

When she faced the magical world, she unknowingly put Muggles in a position of needing protection.

In 1422, Lisette de Lapin, a tailor in Paris, escaped at the critical moment because she used a cutting spell with her wand, but Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington in 1492 was not so

Fortunately, he was executed after his wand was taken away from him.

This knight is the resident ghost of Gryffindor, Nearly Headless Nick. When he died, the Hundred Years War and the War of the Roses had ended, and Britain had entered the Tudor Dynasty.

She felt very scared just now. If Figel lied to her and the person who grabbed her hand hiding the wand was someone with malicious intentions towards her, then she might be like Nick.

Wandless magic is very advanced. Severus is younger than her, but he can already use wandless confusion spells.

Is this the difference between men and women, or the difference between humans and magical creatures?

At this moment, Feryl suddenly grabbed Margaret's arm, and the two ran to the priestesses together and began to imitate their dance steps.

This kind of dance looked very easy, much simpler than the kind of dance that Ferrier usually danced. Margaret looked very clumsy, not daring to let go of her hands and feet at all, as if she was still adhering to the etiquette of the palace.

"Elegance may be a direct path to sadness." Georgiana said with emotion, "This fatal habit will turn elegant people into characters in Greek tragedy."

"How about you dance too?" he suddenly said.

"Me? No!" She shook her head immediately, but as soon as her words left her mouth, she was pushed and left the circle of the audience.

The dancing priestesses waved to her, as if inviting her to dance with them. Georgiana wanted to fall back, but Leon blocked her way.

"Don't you dare?" he asked.

She was almost pissed off!

It is said that Veela can also dance in circles, and this "circle" will bring bad luck.

By this time the circle had turned to Philyl, and she pulled Georgiana to join her.

This dance is not complicated and easy to learn, and the audience cheered.

Napoleoni looked at her in the crowd.

Sometimes we think that we are safe among the crowd, and our true colors are revealed without realizing it.

Did he look like this when he was watching with other people outside the Tuileries Palace?

In addition to the little corpsman, others also gave him the nickname, Corsican Monster.

The sense of oppression brought by a real monster was not as strong as the one he was giving her at the moment.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the big sailor with the tattoo on his arm was not so scary.
