Chapter 2623 Wind and Flowers (2)

According to the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff left at Hogwarts, it can be seen that she was a round, plump woman with brown hair and blue eyes. She often showed gentleness or brightness.

smiling, usually wearing a brown or yellow dress, holding a gold cup in hand.

Pomona's clothes were also mainly yellow. When she opened the wardrobe, she felt a little depressed. How different was it from Slytherin's old bat who had a closet of black clothes?

Then she remembered the moonlight-like dress she saw in Fengya Wizard Clothing Store, and let out a long sigh.

Today she chose a yellow long skirt with black plant patterns. Although when she puts it on, she will probably change from a fluffy cake to a fluffy cake with patterns.

She temporarily added a few small white flowers to the skirt. Although it could not change the problem of her figure, it at least made the skirt look "magical". It looked like black stems and black roots with white flowers.

Grass.

It has the power to prevent enchantment. In Homer's epic "The Odyssey", Odysseus once used it to defeat the witch Cersei, who often used magic food to turn sailors who were lost around her island into animals. When the hero Odysseus

Decius spent a year on her island after freeing his shipmates from her spell.

If "The Iliad" is a road out, then "The Odyssey" is about a road home. This road is not peaceful and full of all kinds of temptations and adventures, but Odysseus still

I tried my best to return to my home after being away for many years.

Dobby is a free house elf. After leaving the Malfoy family, he did not feel like he was "exiled" like other house elves. Instead, he went where he wanted to go.

The kitchen of Hogwarts is considered a refuge for the house elves. Helga took in the wandering elves and let them work here. They are very satisfied with their stable life now.

One day Dobby will marry a house-elf girl and start a family, and he will probably find a place to settle down. At that time, Dobby will change from being a "deviant" to being law-abiding and respecting the laws of society.

After getting dressed, Pomona smiled at herself in the mirror.

Of course, a fat woman who is always smiling is much prettier than a fat woman who always has a cold face, but she will not say "you are still beautiful" to the mirror like Janis.

Aging is inevitable for human beings. Odysseus once stayed on the island of Cabruçon. She was the daughter of the Titan god Atlas and a goddess who did not age. Even so, Odysseus still

Left her to find his aging wife.

She likes the characters in this story, just like she likes Arthur Weasley. No matter what Molly becomes, he will still love her.

If Janice hadn't stayed in the magical world, or gone to a place where no one knew her, with her still charming appearance, there might still be "young guys" attracted to her. But everyone knows that she is over 100 years old, no matter what

No matter how she covers it up with magic, she can't change this "fact" that everyone knows.

"It's not a love potion. What's the point of adding the forgetfulness potion?" Pomona muttered and left the mirror.

If Janice is on a mission, it would be very useful to carry that kind of perfume. As long as she sprays it on the target when no one is ready, the other party will not remember what happened just now, as if nothing happened.

In many history books, the Battle of Hadrianburg is considered to be the greatest defeat of the Roman legions after the Battle of Cannae and the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, and it was also a sign of the demise of the Roman Empire.

The Goths did not besiege Constantinople. The successor emperor Theodosius I negotiated peace with the Goths. The Goths promised to help the emperor protect the Roman territory and obtain food supplies. However, the barbarians still inevitably infiltrated into the original Roman Empire.

land, and finally invaded the Apennine Peninsula and destroyed the Western Roman Empire.

Corruption in Rome had become a chronic problem at that time. Not only generals, but also soldiers would become corrupt. Emperor Valens agreed to the Goths moving into the Roman Empire because he hoped to enrich his army with Goths. At this time, the Roman Empire levied taxes on its own people.

The soldiers were already having a hard time. However, the soldiers responsible for guarding the Danube border accepted bribes and allowed the Goths to enter with weapons. While a large number of Goths continued to move in, the Roman legions in this area were very strong.

Weak. When the rebellion started, many of the Roman legions responsible for suppressing the Goths were barbarians or temporarily recruited soldiers. Not only did they have low combat effectiveness, they would also defect on the battlefield.

The Roman dignitaries far away in Italy did not know that the death knell of the country's subjugation had already sounded at this time, and they were still living a hedonistic life that was reversed day and night.

All roads lead to Rome, and then the barbarians followed the roads built by the Romans themselves and entered the city of Rome. They overthrew the Western Roman Empire by coordinating internal and external cooperation.

What happened next was just a repeat of Troy's story, except that no ships were needed to transport slaves and treasure.

Too much baggage would slow down the march, but the Goths had four-wheeled carriages, which played a role in fortifications in the Battle of Hadrianburg. This was similar to the tactics used by the American western pioneers. They drove them

The caravans formed in a circle became a fortification that could be relied upon. After the war, they could be used to transport supplies, not to mention that the roads in Rome were so well built and smooth.

Frederick the Great said that building roads created opportunities for invasion by other countries. During the Anti-French Alliance War, they also attacked along the thoroughfares left by Louis XIV. However, in Germany, there was no construction in strict accordance with Frederick the Great's instructions.

Road, which also resulted in German business not being prosperous.

The first thing a siege fights to cut off is the food route from the outside world into the city. The larger the city, the more so. If the residents in the city cannot work together as one and respond to the outside world as one, internal strife will occur over food issues. At that time, the attacking party only needs to

Waiting quietly outside, you can see the fire burning in the city.

The strongest fortresses are often breached from the inside. Siege engines, trebuchets and other machines may be difficult to build and transport to attack the city gates, but it is much easier to unlock the city gates from the inside.

In this way, even if the city wall is built to be impregnable, it will be useless. Constantinople can defend against the attacks from the Eastern pagans, but it cannot defend against the Crusaders from France. The reason for all this is that Venice just wants to seize the opportunity from the Eastern Roman Empire.

independent.

She didn't want people to read the joke and leave a "good name" that would be alluring to the country.

Two consecutive years of food shortages caused Bonaparte to stop conscription. There will be seven anti-French alliance wars in the "future". Both The Prince and Gothic History have already explained that if there is no own army, or mercenaries and

How dangerous it would be to have more reinforcements than your own army.

People need a reason to fight, mercenaries do it for money, they have no loyalty at all, and ordinary people will not die for a little military pay.

The afterglow of the Baroque king left by Louis XIV has not dissipated, and many people still recognize that men with more women are successful. Montesquieu said in "The Spirit of the Laws" that polygamy depends on the man.

She has no ability to support her, not to mention she cannot ask a French "king" to be loyal to a British female spy.

Others will think she manipulated him into giving confused orders, as when he lifted tariffs on British steel imports.

Because of this incident, she was even kicked out of the Tuileries Palace and even had her job in charge of the canteen replaced.

What kind of female version of Merlin is this?

Just then, there was a knock on her door.

"Please come in."

The person who opened the door and walked in was not her maid, but Gaston Martin, who looked very panicked.

Her first thought was that Napoleon had been attacked again in Aachen.

"Something happened, madam." Mr. Martin said in a deep voice, "The Hope family's warehouse was burned down."

She didn't think it was a big deal.

"That warehouse was full of indigo." Mr. Martin continued. "The London warehouse that was burned contained half of their inventory. This would cause a disaster."
