Chapter 2942 Don’t ride on the wind (9)

Greek fire was not actually made by the Greeks, but the Arabs called it that. In an era when wood and sails were still the mainstay, once this kind of fire ignited by Greek fire encountered the wind on the sea, it would spread across the fleet.

The fire spread rapidly, resulting in the destruction of almost the entire army. The Caliphate's several attacks on Constantinople were repelled by this fire, making the Byzantines ecstatic.

But if fire is well controlled, it will become a lighting tool. There are many white paper lanterns placed at the dungeon dance scene, and the paper covered with fine brushwork is painted on it. Because of the magic, these birds and butterflies will fly from one lantern to the other.

Another lantern.

In Goryeo, there are moon lanterns, whose light is as white and translucent as the first moon. There are sun lanterns, which are illuminated by fire, and the whole room is red.

Stone lanterns began in the Han Dynasty and became popular in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. You can see many stone lanterns in temples. Oil lamps are placed among them. Because of the different stone qualities, the light colors are different, especially Korean stone, which is often called Zen lanterns.

, has nothing to do with weddings and funerals, and is commonly used by monks who build cave temples.

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the overland Silk Road was the main one. Sogdia served as a distribution center and transfer station for Silk Road trade, attracting a large number of people to do business and settle here. The Sogdians established many oasis city-states, but they never established a unified state.

The country is like a Greek city-state built on an island.

Porcelain is heavy for camels, and although camels are called ships of the desert, they are not really ships.

The Maritime Silk Road needed heavy items like porcelain as ballast stones, and the remains of porcelain can be found in many shipwrecks.

Pomona did not actually search the Slytherin lounge, or she did not need to do it herself. Isabella Sidney invited her to this place and asked her to taste what needed improvement.

Porcelain made her a pot of black tea.

The aroma of tea was mixed with the aroma of wine from the walls painted with wine lees. It smelled very pleasant. After only a short while, she felt that the heartburning fire in her chest was extinguished.

Severus went out of his way to search "in person", which was one of his few "funs". He also read small notes in front of everyone in class.

Esmeralda Mook originally liked Barnaby, but after this love became a handle and a joke, she immediately turned around and joined the Slytherin girl gang. After both groups graduated

, Pomona doesn’t want anyone else to take over the gang and “pass it on” like the Godfather.

If there is a cause, there will be an effect. If it were not for the intervention of Death Eaters outside the school, there would not be Bella Creek's gang and "little Death Eaters", as well as the persecution of Muggles, including Mary.

Because of this persecution, Gryffindor felt the need to unite to fight, so the girl gang and Emily Taylor's group came into existence.

No matter which fool wants to marry Emily in the future, Pomona wishes him good luck, and she doesn't want to have to worry about Emily anymore.

"Professor, why didn't Kurt come?" Isabella asked obediently.

She was keeping an eye on Barnaby and Ben Cooper to prevent Paul from setting another trap for them to fall into.

Pomona said that Ben Cooper had "reconciled" with Cole, although in the rumors last semester, Cole was regarded as the "murderer" who beat Barnaby to the point of being seriously injured and hospitalized.

"She's busy with the reserve," Pomona said casually.

"Can I visit?" Isabella asked.

"Why are you asking me?" Pomona asked.

"Turt will agree only if you agree." Isabella said.

"I'll ask her opinion," Pomona said.

A girl who makes people feel very comfortable, even if she is not particularly beautiful, will be pleasing to the eye. Isabella is a kind of clear beauty compared to Emily, but she has been to the African grassland and seen lions, and she doesn't feel like her in her heart.

She looks so weak.

Of course, standing up again after being defeated is different from never losing. It requires greater strength.

She enjoyed this moment of peace, even though she knew the storm would soon come.

—————————————————————————————————————-

When the ancient Romans knew that joining the army for the Republic could not change their destiny, they handed over their destiny to the generals who commanded them.

When the poor families in the Eastern Han Dynasty knew that studying could not change their destiny, they joined the shogunate of the general and made suggestions for the general.

There was actually only about 70 years between the assassination of Caesar and the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The law of fate makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally, and its pleasure exceeds the happiness brought by fine clothes and delicious food.

But what he has in mind is of no use in peacetime, and will only be useful in troubled times. So, does the world have more use in prosperous times, or in troubled times?

The master in the Dream of Red Mansions, if his family is ruined and his descendants are still alive, he will become a slave. Jia Baoyu escapes into Buddhism.

The male castrates and flies thousands of miles into the sky, filled with clouds and weeping with tears.

There is no need to be obsessed with troubles, just lock yourself in the golden cage to have both.

The person who wrote this poem was Li Shangyin, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, and Li Bai was a poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The roc rises with the wind in one day and soars up to 90,000 miles.

When people in the world see my extraordinary temperament, they all sneer when they hear my eloquent words.

The nature of a bird is to soar thousands of miles across the sky without restraint, but Baoyu seems to prefer a life without turmoil, even if he is in a golden cage.

Also reading Dream of Red Mansions, Pomona didn't know how she got the taste of it. No wonder Severus always said she was abnormal.

Money was originally meant to facilitate people's transactions. The method of barter exchange requires a lot of manpower and material resources to transport goods around. Using money can save the effort of transportation.

But it is very hard to carry copper coins, and no one will go shopping with dozens of kilograms of money.

The beak of the Crow Suspension Bridge is made of iron nails. Although Greece already had such a structure in the 4th century BC, it did not have the technology to smelt iron. The beak cannot be nailed into other people's ships, and its function is not as good as that of the Romans.

Since it is so big, it has not been popularized.

The Romans first used copper to build warships because it was not as easily corroded by seawater as iron. But this time it was not the weight of copper that was the limiting factor. The buoyancy of seawater could easily lift it. Using copper meant that the cost was high.

Wizards learned to use money very late. Muggles will definitely laugh at them if they know it. But wizards have the magic to store unlimited things. Wizards can move things that are difficult for Muggles to move easily, so why do they need to use money?

Woolen cloth?

There are many considerations for wizards to legislate that they cannot use space expansion spells at will. When Muggles implemented alcohol prohibition, Serafina felt that she should not ban alcohol together with Muggles. Haven't wizards experienced enough?

She has a wand with a core made of wetland hawthorn and wetland werewolf hair. In theory, this wand's thirst for dark magic is like blood to vampires.

Why should Tina be sentenced to death, and why should Obscurus be eliminated?

She doesn't look as crazy as Bella, a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately.

This was more like destroying evidence to save the face of the Ministry of Magic. After all, the United States had already announced that there were no Obscurials at that time.

But it turns out that there are not only obscurists in the United States, but also under their noses.

This is really...

Georgiana sighed secretly and walked to the next room.
