Chapter 2835 "Red Eye" (8)

When the South Sea Bubble occurred in the early 18th century, Paul de Lamery's career was on the rise. If it was because he was an apprentice goldsmith at the beginning, then he also had his own mark after he had it.

After the studio, you can use these gold and silver to buy stocks.

Many people will want some good things after breaking out, such as gold, silverware and luxury goods. The early works of Paul de Lamery are from the Queen Anne period, which actually look very luxurious, but the Rococo style is more consistent.

The thoughts of patrons who have been influenced by French culture.

Silver spoons have been around since the 14th century and are given as baptismal gifts for babies. They are usually a token given by the godfather to his godson. Therefore, "being born with a silver spoon in his mouth" is often used as a metaphor for a favored son.

At the time of the South Sea Bubble, the British Industrial Revolution had not yet begun, and there were not many ways to make money, but as long as you were willing to take the risk and venture into the colonies, you could still find an opportunity to make a fortune.

After becoming famous, Paul allowed some silversmiths who were not yet famous to use his name to sell their works. It was unclear whether these unmarked silver products were pure silver, and Paul was accused by the Goldsmiths' Hall for this.

But a son is a long-term investment. You don’t know whether he will be as cute as he was when he was a child, or whether he will be like Barty Crouch Jr., or run away from home like Sirius Black. In Paul’s will, the inheritance

His successor was his apprentice, the person who took over the company was his partner, and his stock and accounting books were also handled by outsiders.

After Ben Cooper repaired the puppet, it first performed a ballet. This kind of ballet was not as gentle as the ballet people saw. After all, ballet, equestrian, and swordsmanship were all necessary skills for gentlemen in that era.

In short, maybe because he was bored by being a little puppet, Paul tried to persuade Barnaby to let him change to a larger body. Barnaby tried to delay him, and then asked the professors what to do.

After forging the Sword of Gryffindor, King Legnarc wanted to keep it for himself, so he pretended that Gryffindor had stolen the sword from him and sent a group of subjects to retrieve it. But Ge

As a skilled duel master, Llanffindor repelled all the comers and cast a spell on the group of goblins, asking them to go back and tell Legnac that if he did such a thing again, he would use this weapon

The sword killed him and all his subjects.

600 years later, a rumor emerged in the goblin world that wizards wanted goblins to sign a contract with house elves and obey wizards. All goblins who refused to become such a role would be killed by the holder of the Sword of Gryffindor.

Since the Sword of Gryffindor was in Hogwarts at that time, the goblins planned to dig tunnels, "retrieve" the sword that belonged to them, and kill the possible sword holders. However, the school teacher discovered it in time and stopped it.

Goblin's plan.

Barnaby's physique is not inferior to that of a football player, but the key is that he is more flexible and can be a quarterback. In short, what Dumbledore meant was that while Paul was "coaching" Barnaby, Pomona held Paul's puppet.

, ask Ollivander to identify what material it is made of.

For the sake of caution, Albus thought that he should wait until Paul relaxed his guard before doing so. However, after Severus learned of the plan, he took the doll and Ben to find Ollivander as soon as Paul "left".

Ben's role was to hold the puppet that made people feel uncomfortable. Maybe because he was too shocked, Ben was stunned the whole time.

Pomona wasn't much better, she could only follow orders.

The identification result was that the puppet was made of walnut wood, and what looked like a wig was actually the troll's beard, which passed through the center of the walnut wood like the core of a wand.

In other words, this thing that looks like a puppet is actually a wand. There is a special relationship between wizards and wands. For example, laurel wood will only be loyal to its first owner, even when others try to steal it. Spontaneous lightning strikes.

Wizards and wizards who use walnut as their wands are known for their clever materials, and they also like to be chosen by innovative and inventors. However, this wood is difficult to control. Once conquered, it recognizes that the owner has enough talent, and it will It can complete any task the owner wants it to complete.

There is a ballet called The Nutcracker. This toy is made of basswood and is a popular Christmas gift. In the 15th century, the Germans made the nutcracker tools into the shape of dolls, and their mouths could Open it and place the walnut in the doll's mouth, then control the joystick to close the doll's mouth and crush the walnut.

Later, a kind of ventriloquist appeared. They would hold this kind of doll and make its mouth open and close. Since the voices of the doll and the ventriloquist were completely different, it looked like two people were talking.

In fact, this kind of performance existed in ancient Egypt, but it was used in religious ceremonies. People believed that the puppets controlled by ventriloquist priests conveyed the will of the gods.

They returned the puppet before Barnaby finished training, and soon Paul returned to the puppet's body. When they turned around, they found Barnaby beaten and bruised all over in the empty classroom.

"He asked me to tell you that it was a classmate who did it," Barnaby said coldly, "and he asked me to name whoever did it."

"You want to do as he says?" Severus asked.

"If I don't do what he says, he'll think I'm disobedient, and if I do what he says, he'll think I'm obedient, but someone will be framed," Barnaby said.

"Do you really think that, or do you want to take revenge on someone?" Severus asked.

Barnaby stared at Severus with an unruly look in his eyes.

"Let me guess who you want to name." Severus said with a smile.

"I named him, will you deal with him?" Barnaby asked provocatively, "Or will we just forget it?"

Severus stopped laughing.

"Go to the campus hospital." Pomona said.

Barnaby followed her.

Then there were rumors in the school that someone had done something to Barnaby. The scars all over his body were the evidence, but they didn't say who did it.

There were whispers in every corner, guessing who the "murderer" was, and the suspects stared back fiercely.

In fact, it is understandable if you think about it. Paul is good at making marionettes. He does not need to leave the puppet's body and possess the big dummy.

He did that on purpose.

As a palace puppet, he certainly knew that many women at that time no longer liked knights who were good at holding spears and dueling on horseback as much as the noble ladies in the Middle Ages did.

At balls, banquets, private parties, and public receptions, a delicate shirt sets off a ruddy and handsome face. He is suave, full of fun, and polite. Who can refuse such a person?

But Paul found these boring, and he came to the world of wizards. Pomona didn't know how old he was when he died. Everyone will die, including the mysterious man who pursues immortality, but his current state is probably in his thirties.

If he died in his 30s, how did he die? Like his father, from a boring disease?

She would not overestimate her capabilities and want to play this game with Paul. She had read the "Guide to Love" of that era and had not been deceived in the same way.

The laurel tree will only be loyal to its first owner and will even spontaneously undergo lightning strikes when others try to steal it.

She shouldn't have so many thoughts about someone whose birthday flower is laurel.

After returning to the greenhouse, she looked at the bubble pods she had planted. They were already everywhere as shown in Eris's mirror.

But she knew very well that these were not the first ones she planted. The first bubble pod was already dead.

That mirror only gives people impossible dreams. It can't even tell a few lies like a divination mirror, giving people standing in front of the mirror a common goal.

There was nothing inside, not even the Academy Cup being raised together. There were obviously many boys standing in front and you could see yourself holding the Academy Cup.

At this time, she smelled a smell of sage. She followed the smell and looked over, and found a small box next to the flowerpot.

She walked over and picked up the card above. The font on it was easy to read. Snape's handwriting was always better than others.

"This is your birthday present," he wrote.

Pomona opened the box and inside were two bottles of magic potion, one red and one green.

As can be seen from the trademark above, it is the rejuvenation agent and rejuvenation agent sold by Toots. Only six drops of this magic potion, plus three drops of rejuvenation agent, can restore dead plants to health.

She cried heartily when no one was around, until her eyes were red from crying.

If someone saw her, they would definitely think she was stupid, and that's right. How could a fool play a game played by smart people?
