Chapter 2458 "Out of the Jungle" (3)

As the location of the former hunting palace, the forest in Tervuren is not only dense, but also contains many prey, including wolves, but they all run away when they see humans on horseback.

People often think that animals are not intelligent, but they actually remember the threats from humans and will not approach them easily.

Just when Georgiana was about to leave the castle, she met a bank clerk who was an employee of Séché, a big businessman in the Bordeaux area.

Secher once participated in the chairmanship of the Girondin Directory, but he did not go to the guillotine like other Girondins such as Roland and Condorcet. He just was not elected to the National Convention again.

He chose to support Napoleon when he launched the Brumaire Coup, and he also participated in this tour. He spent more time in social situations, and his subordinates were responsible for accounting and other tasks.

Lannes was assigned to Antwerp for embezzling public funds from the Guards to decorate his new home. Briand also had problems in this regard and was "exiled" to Sweden.

When Brian was still the secretary of the First Consul, it was easy for him to "borrow money". He only needed to cross out the names of a few exiles on the list. Some of these people did not want them to come back, and some did not want to be stipulated that they must be in the country.

There is a deadline to come back. They can travel abroad instead of going into exile. They can travel for as long as they want. After the trip, if they find that their property has been occupied by others, they can go through judicial procedures to get it back. When the exiles collect

When you receive a letter, just like a court summons, you must respond.

With this money, Brian invested in a bank in Paris. Unfortunately, this bank undertook several Army contracts, some of which were related to Berthier. The bank eventually went bankrupt due to its involvement in public debt speculation, and Brian also suffered losses.

It was tragic. It didn't matter if he had stayed in the position of secretary. The key was that he resigned. Soon the post office found some letters, and Brian was eventually accused of embezzling public funds.

Brian did not embezzle public funds, but the people who "lent him money" did. None of the people Brian had recommended helped him, and Bonaparte also clearly drew a clear line with him. However, because Brian served as his personal secretary

He often ghostwrote for Napoleon, and it was difficult to distinguish between Brian's letters and Napoleon's letters. In the end, Brian was not tried and became the Swedish ambassador.

It’s ugly to see the count and marquis fighting to get under the table to pick up a handkerchief for the king, but they are flattering, and they are flattering the people in power. In the past, in order to highlight a great figure, artworks would elevate him so that he could stand in front of him.

Stand out from the crowd, and the public often lies at their feet.

There is an idiom called "praising the high and suppressing the low". He himself will not feel that he has a problem. Once someone points it out, he will definitely become angry and the person who pointed him out will offend him.

This kind of person looks in the mirror and will only accept the decent and majestic version of herself, just like Rohart, but she also knows that it is unrealistic to ask a person not to pursue fame and wealth, and to restrain ordinary people with the standards of a saint.

Sometimes Georgiana also wanted to live a life without fighting against the world like Crete. But after learning what happened to Brian after he lost power, she didn't know that this idea might bring serious "sequelae" to herself.

It was originally a good opportunity to meet Duke Abar at the opera house that day, but Georgiana left early. Now it is difficult to get the same opportunity, unless she holds a party and invites their family over.

Even so, Duke Abal could refuse, so she was too honest and didn't know how to act according to circumstances.

The church bells sounded in the distance and echoed in the forest. This feeling was very "Gothic", but it was not the kind of flame Gothic, but the kind of dark Gothic that made people feel no warmth, eerie and cold.

Somewhere in the forest, she reined in her horse and stopped, and the others also stopped. There was white mist floating in the air, which was exhaled by the humans and horses.

If this is really the underworld, why does it look so much like a living person, even with these details?

"It's getting dark," said Figel. "Let's not stay out for too long."

Georgiana ignored her. She still remembered that adventure in the Alps. The Italians who were involved in the War of the Spanish Crown hid in the mountains. In order to prevent the other party from requisitioning food, the French and Austrian troops burned down people's houses.

At that time, she restored the ruins and saw the words written in French on the wall, "The devil is dead". Then she tricked a devil and let him enter the bottle.

The so-called curses are often small and inadvertent things, such as touching a ring or necklace, and then you can never get rid of it.

"Ma'am?" Figel asked.

"Why are there no residents of this generation who have fled the war?" Georgiana asked.

"There are a lot of forests," Feigl said.

Georgiana frowned.

When drinking tea in the morning, she took a special look at the tea stains at the bottom of the cup. It was still an ominous sign. It was obvious that Betty had been arrested.

"What's wrong?" Feigl asked.

"It's not a good idea to go back," Georgiana said. "I have a bad feeling about it."

"Then where are we going?"

"Follow the bell," said Georgiana, and galloped through the woods again.

Today she wore a cloak, black on the outside and bright red on the inside. It was constantly flying in the wind, giving her a medieval feel.

She really wanted to try to see if she could use the Soul Guard, if she could use it now.

Harry Potter wanted to see his father, so he used a time turner to go back to the past a few hours. As a result, he summoned the Patronus himself to save his, Sirius, and Buckbeak's lives.

He was not a savior, just an ordinary boy. After using the God-calling Guardian, he passed out. Fortunately, Hermione Granger was not an ordinary girl, she was a witch. She used a floating spell to float the same unconscious boy.

Rhys was sent to the hippogriff.

Wingardium leviosa.

The caster causes it to float.

Now what does she keep afloat?

Birdsong suddenly came from the forest, full of panicked sounds. Wolves, foxes, rabbits, etc. all fled one after another. Even the horses felt it and stopped.

Georgiana fell to the ground, maybe because the fallen leaves provided a buffer, but she didn't break her neck, and then she stood up.

These trees looked like giants. During the Battle of Hogwarts, she had used devil's net to tie up the giants, but she had never thought of using a levitating spell to levitate the giants. After all, they were not feathers.

She might be really crazy, and she actually used wandless magic to try to "levitate" those trees. These trees often have deep roots, and even machines cannot pull them out and can only cut them off.

But she still wanted to try. The process was extremely painful. She wailed, and then the fallen leaves on the ground floated up, followed by the broken branches. They gave off a putrid smell that made people sick to smell it.

After she pulled up a tree, she wanted to try another one. If one day the trees in Siberia fought with the wizards watching Quidditch because of black magic, she would need this power.

However, when she subconsciously took a step forward, she felt so heavy.

What a strange feeling this was, she couldn't describe it in words. Only the feeling of using magic so freely made her feel a lot more comfortable, and her mood was no longer so bad.

She took out the wand from the trembling flower bracelet and waved it so lightly that the fallen tree returned to the place where it had been.

Soon, the forest returned to its former peace, leaving only the Muggles who had witnessed everything, looking at her in shock.

"Want me to cleanse their memories?" Carolan asked.

"Whatever." Georgiana said indifferently.

At this moment, a tree that had been re-erected fell down, making a loud noise.

"Where can someone like you need protection?" Coraline, wearing a cloak, whispered, then turned and left.

Georgiana used the "Upside Down Golden Bell" on the tree, but it didn't respond. I don't know if this spell only works on "animals" or because she ran out of magic power.

"Woof!" A black dog with a wet nose barked at her.

She felt that her nose was also wet, and when she touched it with her hand, it was actually full of blood.

She looked up at the sky again. She didn't know if it was her imagination or if the dense leaves had fallen a lot, but the sky seemed brighter than before.
