Chapter 1988 "Eagle" and "Dove" (6)

When the second generation Roman King Numa Pompilius was in power, people would include some unowned land in front of the city gate when measuring the area of ​​cultivated land. At that time, a large number of Sabines immigrated to Rome, and the Roman Kingdom was divided.

For the sake of the Latins and the Sabines. When the elders found Numa to inherit the throne, he was already 40 years old. Although he lived among the Sabines, he maintained the habits of the Romans.

40 years old was considered a long life in that era and was not suitable for starting a new life. However, unable to withstand the persuasion of the elders again and again, Numa finally agreed and came to Rome with them.

However, when Numa entered the city, he did not wear military uniforms, and there were no guards following him with clubs and axes. Instead, he wore priest-like robes. And with the consent of the citizens' assembly, Numa, who officially succeeded to the throne, did not implement theocracy.

.

In the territory of Alba Longa, people are very careful when annexing land, because they are like eagles on the mountain cliffs, spreading their wings to protect the large areas of land on the plain.

In addition to the ocean, there are some "buffer zones" between Britain and France. If Napoleon wanted to implement a continental blockade, not only all ports in these areas, but also some beaches suitable for docking smuggling ships would have to be fortified.

His supporters are farmers. To develop agriculture in Brittany, it is much more reliable to have farmers act as guards for him than traders who have the British in mind. But weren't farmers involved in the Vendée?

For Parisians, Brittany is a frontier and a remote area. Even if it takes only a few days to get from Brittany to Paris, the milk will go bad in just a few days.

Beer also needs to be drunk fresh. The higher the freshness, the better the taste. It will become sour after being stored for a long time, and the soft bitter taste will become as bitter as medicine, making it difficult to swallow.

Georgiana issued a reward, just like a reward for canning, for anyone who could extend the shelf life of milk and beer. She vaguely remembered that the person who invented the milk sterilization method was a man named Pasteur, and his name was on the advertisement for milk cartons.

, but she no longer wanted to remember it. She asked Ferrier to write the reward order and then left the hotel with the people from the French Ministry of Magic.

The scope of control of the Ministry of Magic is directly related to the national borders of Muggles. The Monroe Doctrine allowed some former colonies to become independent, and then these countries themselves also established the Ministry of Magic.

It is not surprising that British Aurors have cross-border jurisdiction. When Britain was still very powerful, colonies were spread all over the world, and they were already used to "traveling".

As for the French wizards, they used to listen to the king when the king was here, and they could only symbolically abide by the international law of secrecy. After the Revolution, the Ministry of Magic is now being rebuilt.

It was their duty to protect the dignitaries, and although Georgiana was already there, there were still other wizards accompanying her to protect Bonaparte.

These people basically have no sense of confidentiality and dare to fly by on broomsticks in broad daylight.

But at this time, Brittany was basically covered by a sea of ​​forests, and the late autumn rain hit my face like ice shards.

It is said that Numa encountered a huge disaster when he came to power. The weather turned bad, heavy rains caused disasters, and lightning pierced the sky like fiery snakes. The people were panicked. In order to avoid disasters, crazy human sacrifice activities began.

Numa tried to stop these cruel customs, but he was asked if he knew of any other way to prevent the disaster.

In the myth, Numa asked the cave goddess Egeria. At that time, there was a rumor in the country that the king and the goddess were having an affair. One day, the king was thinking about the solution and could not sleep, so he simply got up and walked into the dense forest in the mountains. In the forest

He met the goddess who rose leisurely like a white mist in the stream. The stream flowed happily from a cave, which later became the place for their tryst.

Maybe the king was too thoughtful, and even the goddess couldn't make him happy. He asked Egeria, "People fill the sacrificial jars with human blood. Is this really the wish of the gods?"

The fairy told him "Jupiter and Mars are very terrible."

The king was not satisfied with the answer. The fairy told him that there were curses in the world that even Jupiter could not get rid of, but there were only two people who knew this, one was the brave hunter Picus, and the other was his son Favu.

North, if you want them to tell you the secret of limiting disaster, you have to open an iron net while they are drunk, and they will never be able to escape again.

The king did what the fairy said. Shortly after the sun rose, he found the hunter father and son. At that time, the two men were having a quarrel over the wine. At this moment, a big net fell from the sky, regardless of whether

No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't tear the net apart.

Faunos cursed loudly: The pure hand spread a devilish thing. It was a piece of strong fabric, which was stronger than the power of the forest god.

Numa effortlessly forced the captive to utter the curse, and later he personally lit the sacred fire of the altar according to the designated branches and roots.

Georgiana descended at the entrance of a cave hidden deep in the mountains. Unlike the cold outside, it was very warm inside the cave, probably because there were several bonfires lit.

Rabastan stood at the entrance of the cave. Next to him was another man, who looked about 30 years old. He had a handsome face, wore dragon skin armor, and his blond hair was neatly combed back. It reminded Georgiana of Dela who had just entered school.

division.

"Introduction, this is Mr. Septimus Malfoy." Rabastan said in French.

"It's an honor to meet you, Georgiana." Septimus said with a smile in English.

The age of the Malfoy family is a mystery. Lucius, who is in his fifties, looks like he is almost forty, so she cannot guess the age of a platinum nobleman based on his appearance.

"It's an honor to meet you, Malfoy." Georgiana said coldly, "Although I would rather stay by the warm fire than ride on a broomstick in such a cold sky."

Lucius's ancestor smiled, showing his white teeth, "Then come in."

Georgiana stepped around him and entered the cave.

There is a round table deep in the cave with three chairs beside it.

"Where's Lufkin's seat?" Georgiana asked.

"Probably busy with Quidditch or something." Septimus said absentmindedly and sat down on one of the chairs.

Rabastan sat down in another chair.

"Which one of you will help me move the chair?" she asked the two "gentlemen."

The two looked at each other, and finally Rabastan stood up and moved the chair away for Georgiana.

"It seems that you did learn something when you arrived in France." Septimus stared at her and said, "For example, formality."

"I thought I gave you a chance to show your civilized side." Georgiana crossed her legs and looked at the two of them, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"The Purifier who can summon birds, does she speak English or French?" Septimus asked.

"Does that matter? Her arrest is the responsibility of the French Ministry of Magic." Georgiana said coldly, "What will you do if you catch her?"

"Are you English or French?" asked Septimus.

"There is no country here, only purgers and wizards. I think execution on the spot would be a happier death than being sent to Azkaban."

Septimus stared at her in surprise, "No need for trial?"

"Is there any difference?" Georgiana thought of Sirius Black. He just walked around the court and was sent to Azkaban without being asked anything by the judge.

Septimus opened his mouth in disbelief.

"You won't let them go, they won't let you go. Giving unrealistic orders in this unrelenting situation will make it difficult for the agents on the scene. The key to the problem now is to search such a large area of ​​​​the forest for French magic.

The department is short of manpower, and in addition to catching those golden-winged birds, I plan to set up a trap and catch them with a net."

"What trap?" Rabastan asked.

Georgiana raised the fire opal in her hand and said, "This."

"What is this?" Septimus asked.

"Garuda's favorite is the bead on Naga's head. Garuda will turn into this bead after it dies, and Naga will eat it." Georgiana put down her hand. "Is there any way you can get it back from India?"

A naga?”

"Yes, can you do it?" Rabastan said.

"In addition, you are responsible for making the kind of bird-catching nets. After the birds are caught, they can be recycled and placed on the coastline. Last time, a Welsh dragon flew to France." Georgiana stared at Septimus and said.

“With it, we don’t have to worry about strange things crossing the border illegally.”

"Yes, ma'am," Rabastan said with a smile.

"You not only betrayed your husband, you also betrayed Britain." Septimus smiled maliciously, "You actually fell in love with a Muggle?"

"Instead of guessing who I love, there is another problem that needs to be solved." Georgiana said with a smile, "Muggles send ambassadors to each other and issue visas at the embassy. Do we have to be like them?"

"What?" the two men asked together.

She rolled her eyes.

"Entry permit for official business or travel." She explained. "Without this permit, you will be arrested or deported. What do you want to do, Mr. Septimus?"
