Chapter 1961 Little Red Riding Hood II
Chapter 1963 "Little Red Riding Hood" (4)
As the strange birds slowly descended, everyone finally saw what they looked like.
They are not harpies with human heads and bird bodies, but large black birds with white feathers under their wings. In addition, they have a long beak, which looks a bit like a seagull.
"Is this bird dangerous?" Figel asked.
"No." Georgiana relaxed her guard and breathed a sigh of relief, "Have you brought food?"
A trooper took a piece of cheese from his bag.
"This is all I have." He shrugged helplessly.
She took the piece of cheese, crumbled it, and sprinkled it on the open space.
The two birds quickly landed on the ground and began to peck at the cheese on the ground.
"What is this?" Feigl asked.
"Do you know about the Giant War?" Georgiana asked.
"What?" Feige asked in confusion.
"You can understand that they are guide birds, as long as you give them enough good food." She said helplessly, "They originally lived in the forests of Central Europe. During the Giant War, they used to guide humans and attack the giants.
residence."
Figel may have thought she was speaking the language of another planet.
Georgiana did not explain in detail.
Durmstrang is a famous magic school for dark wizards, but it is located in Scandinavia, not in Germany where there is a black forest. It can be said that there are no magic training institutions in Germany.
This is the reality of the wizarding world.
Some people think that Durmstrang migrated there during the Thirty Years' War. Although the Treaty of Westphalia ended the war, the persecution of witchcraft continued and was even brought to Northern Europe.
If the electors did not have that power before the Thirty Years' War, with the signing of the Treaty of Westphalia weakening the rule of the Habsburg family, the new generation of princes began to send troops to suppress any
A witch hunt attempt.
With the signing of the "Contract of Luneville", a new court was born in Munich, which made Bavaria a pro-French faction in the Holy Roman Empire, forming a tripartite model with Vienna and Berlin.
This time it was not the wizards who were unlucky, but the church. The nobles of the ancient families no longer served in the church after the French Revolution. Only commoners would join the church. They lived a life that had nothing to do with the secular world, so they were particularly disgusted with selling off church property.
Melee is an opportunity for speculators, but it is undoubtedly bad for people who want to live a stable life. For migrating people, they need a guiding direction, this kind of bird whose wings glow in the dark.
Will be at the front of the team like a guard.
In addition to Little Red Riding Hood, there is also the story of breadcrumbs in Grimm's fairy tales. A brother and a sister were abandoned by their parents. The first time the brother marked them with stones, the brother and sister returned home. The second time they were abandoned, the sister used breadcrumbs to mark them, but was killed by a bird.
After eating, the brother and sister got lost in the forest, and then they came to the witch's hut.
Just like in the French fairy tale, they took away the witch's treasure and returned home, and the family lived a happy life.
Little Red Riding Hood did not take the main road, but entered the forest because she saw beautiful flowers blooming all around. She thought she wanted to visit the sick, so she went to pick flowers.
Every time she picked a flower, she always felt that there would be more beautiful flowers ahead, so she walked forward, and ended up walking deep into the forest.
Unexpectedly, she met a hunter there.
Thanks to the help of the hunter, Little Red Riding Hood was not eaten by the wolf.
"They're almost finished," one of the troopers said.
"Let's follow and make marks along the way." Georgiana said, and then with the help of Figel, she mounted the thoroughbred horse, and the group followed the two birds to the roumare forest farther west.
It was a true virgin forest, similar to the Forbidden Forest, except that it was wider and the trees were not as thick as the Forbidden Forest.
No one knows what roumare means, but everyone calls it that, which is perfect if you want to hide something inside.
Without a carriage, it was indeed much faster to move forward on a light horse. Somehow, she thought of Robin Hood.
"Be careful of an ambush." Georgiana said to Figel. "Look at your uniforms."
Figel and the others looked at their French uniforms.
"If I were a refugee hiding in the forest and saw you coming, I would think you were here to arrest them," Georgiana said.
"Thank you for the reminder, ma'am," Figel said, and then reminded the people scattered around, and then they moved on.
Soon they came to a small lake. By this time, the rain had started, causing ripples on the lake. They hid under a dense tree and waited for the rain to stop.
"You are so small." One of the cavalrymen said, "My daughter is taller than you."
Georgiana gave him a cold look and found Corneille's investigation report.
The result of the investigation of the prints was that they were printed by an underground workshop. Anyway, regular printing houses did not print these things.
The text above is in German and French, and it probably means "God gives us the power to destroy these clawed monsters."
Those harpies all have beautiful faces, but their bodies are painted like eagles, and they have smiles on their faces when they eat people, and the corners of their mouths are full of blood.
Benjamin Franklin had been to London, and when he first arrived in England he had worked as a printer, much like he had worked in his brother's printing shop as a young man.
At that time, most of the workers were drunkards, so they called him the "water-drinking American." A worker who worked with him drank every day, but he was not as strong as him, although they felt that what he drank was "
Health Beer".
This was written in Franklin's autobiography, although the purpose of her reading his autobiography at first was to see if she really flew a kite to attract thunder and lightning.
Now this story gave her inspiration, why not export wine mixed with cinchona as a health supplement or medicine, so as to avoid the restrictions of the Methuen Treaty.
The Methuen Treaty stipulated that regardless of whether it was war or peace, Portuguese wine tariffs were lower than French tariffs.
The purpose is to export cinchona medicine to treat and prevent malaria, but the medicine tastes too bitter. You can add some wine to improve the taste.
There is also alcohol in perfume, but no one would regard perfume as wine. Its purpose is to create fragrance.
There was a plague in Philadelphia in 1793, and many people bought cinchona wine to treat their illnesses. However, quinine could only treat malaria and had little effect on other infectious diseases.
Those who drink should stop drinking, at least beer won't really be a tonic.
Franklin had many friends, and he only advocated self-government and did not approve of independence from Britain. He also did not approve of the bald eagle becoming the national bird, because that bird was indeed a bit too ferocious.
When hunting, bald eagles will hover on the sea or lake surface while searching for fish swimming on the water with their sharp eyes. Once they find the target, they will swoop down and catch it.
If the fish is small, they will use their sharp claws to lift the fish. If the fish is too big, it will be pulled into the water and drowned. Therefore, the bald eagle has to fight hard when catching prey. This is a kind of American
However, the bald eagle is too greedy and always wants to catch big fish. If it were not for artificial intervention, it would almost become extinct.
Seabirds such as gulls can swim, allowing them to stay afloat after unsuccessful hunting.
Bald eagles are very capable of flying and often make calls similar to those of seagulls.
She thought of Hyde Park, Rose and Jack on the Titanic. Why hasn't Severus come to her yet?
"Madam, look." Figel pulled her sleeve.
She woke up and found a big bird hovering and slowly falling down.
But instead of going fishing like the bald eagle, it landed on a rock.
Not long after, a man came out of the woods. He brought a bucket of fish and fed it to the bird.
This bird also has the head of a human and the body of a bird, but its beak is that of an eagle. It is also fed a very slender fish like an eel or a snake. Its body is golden, and the tips of its wings are red. It looks very bright.
.
This kind of bird is called Garuda and is only found in India. How did it end up in Brittany?
The young man feeding the bird said something to it, and the Garuda flew up, but did not fly away. Instead, it danced on the lake.
After a quick glance, she thought she saw a phoenix. However, as far as she knew, Garuda would not reach nirvana. When they died, the surroundings would turn into a sea of fire, and they would also leave behind a piece of orb, which would be eaten by Naga.
Fall, and the Garuda will eat the naga, and the orb on its crown will shine.
Georgiana looked at the less bright orb on the crown of the Golden Roc bird, and then at the fire opal ring on her hand. She seemed to understand what was going on.
But who is the human who raises it?
The bird flew away, and so did the man, and the two cavalrymen followed without Georgiana's orders.
"We are so lucky," Georgiana said with a smile.
"Indeed." Feige also said with a smile.
"You know what I mean by luck?" Georgiana asked.
"Not because we found..."
"We were not struck by lightning." Georgiana interrupted Figel. "The same goes for Leon. He used to take shelter under a tree when he was studying in Brienne. Fortunately, the lightning did not strike him at that time. There is no need to take shelter in the wild.
Hiding under a tree."
Figel was stunned.
"Should we change places?" a cavalryman said, looking at the big tree behind him.
"This is a forest, where else can we hide under the trees?" Georgiana asked.
Everyone was stunned now.
Georgiana laughed.
Only then did the others realize that they had been teased, but they were not angry either. Instead, they were all smiling.
"Leon was the nickname of the First Consul?" asked the cavalryman who had a daughter.
Georgiana stopped talking.
"Tsk, tsk." The man said with a sour look on his face, "It's really unimaginable."
She glanced at him and was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
