Chapter 3011 The ghost in the distance (16)(1/2)



Severus had many plant leaves in his personal collection, but Pomona didn't know if he had tea. After all, he rarely entertained guests and didn't like drinking tea. He did have a few bottles of wine.

But since they were going to discuss legal issues, it was best to keep a clear head. Just when she came to the door, she heard a noise, so she followed the sound and found that it was coming from the tank where the leeches were raised.

She really thought the thing looked ugly, but luckily she did well in school and was not detained by Slughorn or held a grudge, so she had to squeeze the juice out of the leech.

The one that made the sound was a "jailbroken" leech, which happened to land on an inverted bowl. It looked different from other leeches and was larger, so it made a "thump" sound.

Next to the inverted bowl was a bottle of brown potion, and Pomona subconsciously picked it up.

"Don't touch it!" A hand snatched the medicine bottle from her hand.

"You don't know what's inside." The owner of the hand said viciously.

"What's in that?" Pomona asked.

Severus looked at her condescendingly with a cold face.

"That thing is going to run away, why don't you put it back?" Pomona said, pointing to the leech.

"You can put it back," he said in a greasy voice.

"Ew~~~" Pomona said with a disgusted expression.

"It's also in the polyjuice potion you drank..."

"Stop talking!" Pomona covered her ears.

He smiled contemptuously and threw the leech that squirmed faster upon hearing the noise back into the tank.

"This is a confusion potion." Severus said, holding up the bottle. "It has the same effect as the confusion spell. The difference is that it can last for several hours."

"What are you doing cooking this?" Pomona complained.

"I have some spare bird feathers, and I wanted to do some experiments on them." Severus looked at her. "The older the leech, the better the confusion effect it creates, just like the one just now."

"You stupid vampire." Pomona laughed sarcastically.

He didn't laugh about it.

"Did you know that the Pope ordered Edward II to arrest the Knights Templar in England?" Pomona said.

"What?" he asked in surprise.

"But the king didn't really want to carry out the papal order, so the pope wrote a letter to warn him," Pomona said.

"How do you know?" Severus asked.

"I read the files. Before the king ordered them to be arrested, he secretly notified them. Most of them fled to Scotland, but Scotland was not completely safe. Some areas still followed the pope's order to arrest them."

"They felt that to do otherwise would be, as the pope said, showing a preference for heresy and putting souls at risk," Pomona said.

"Why is this information in the wizarding court files?" Severus asked.

"I don't know, that person just recorded it, maybe he hoped that future people can understand what happened." Pomona said, "And why when the Hundred Years War broke out, the Pope was not invited to arbitrate like Spain and Portugal."

Severus suddenly realized, then fell into deep thought.

The Hundred Years' War took place from 1337 to 1453.

The Prisoner of Avignon took place from 1309 to 1370.

Originally, Pomona had never thought of connecting the two events.

"Why did Edward II refuse the papal order?" Severus asked.

"Maybe because his character is too weak, he is not willing to use torture on the knights like the Pope said." Pomona said against his will.

The reason why the Knights Templar was disbanded was that the Inquisitors claimed that they had desecrated the cross and "behaved loosely". It happened that Edward II was the same type of person as them. And when the Knights Templar were destroyed, it should have been Edward II and him.

When lovers are passionately in love.

"But he also died of torture," Severus said.

Pomona shook her head, she didn't want to mention these things.

"Let's go for entertainment." Pomona held his hand and said, "Seriously, Severus, who would use law books as entertainment like you?"

He was led away by her obediently, and then she noticed that she was holding the hand that held the old leech. She felt a little disgusted at first, but she quickly got over it.

Those were warm hands, not cold leeches. Besides, the dirt on her body was quite dirty. She was not like Narcissa Malfoy, who was neatly dressed, made up exquisitely, and sprayed with perfume.

If others don't dislike her, what should she dislike?

When they returned to the classroom, Pomona found a pot of tea and a teacup on the desk.

She got closer and smelled it, and found that it was no ordinary black tea or green tea.

"What kind of leaf is this?" Pomona asked.

"You're a botanist, and there are leaves you don't recognize?" he said sarcastically.

Pomona opened the lid of the teapot and found that the leaves floating inside seemed to be from the locust tree, but they didn't smell like it.

"Isn't it poisonous?" Pomona asked suspiciously.

"I'm here, and even the poison won't kill you." He said coldly.

Pomona was cautious not to drink the tea, although he seemed to have no reason to poison her.

==================================================

========

There was such a story in ancient Greece.

There was a ship that sank for some reason. Most of the people were dead, but two people survived by chance. One of them was strong and the other was thin. There was only a wooden board in front of them, and this wooden board could only carry

The weight of a person.

Here the philosopher Kana Anders proposes four hypotheses:

1. One of them sacrifices himself for others

2. One of them sacrifices others for himself

Three, two people give in to each other and die at the same time

Four, two people fight each other and die at the same time

There is no doubt that the third and fourth situations are the worst. The first situation is based on a noble moral foundation. If it is the second situation...

Although it is generally believed that the strong one will defeat the weak one to seize the board, but both of them are on the verge of death, and their life safety is strongly threatened. In this case, in order to survive, they will have amazing potential. Driven by instinct, they cannot expect

Both parties can remain calm.

An act that is necessary to fight for a chance of survival is a reasonable existence. Although the death of another person has a certain connection with it, it does not have a causal relationship under criminal law and the act does not constitute a crime.

This board is named "Kana Anders Board" after the philosopher. It will be mentioned in some cases of self-defense, that is, the perpetrator's murder is to survive but has no choice.

Although Trinity does not hold a gun, she has superhuman strength that cannot be matched by ordinary policemen. Even if there are many of them, in this case, as a strong person, there is no need for Trinity to kill in order to survive.

Police, this is obviously "unnecessary".

In addition to necessity, there is also necessity in self-defense. If they take off their uniforms, these police officers have families. They are fathers, sons, and brothers.

But wearing this uniform, they represent public power. It is reasonable for the police to arrest criminals, not to mention that Trinity is also a "terrorist". Not only are they allowed to hold guns, but they can also bypass some steps to arrest ordinary criminals.

For example, first aim at non-lethal parts and shoot directly at the vital points.

If it is a gunman holding an unloaded gun, it is reasonable to think of using violence to subdue him. Hagrid did that when he met Fenon Desili, directly bent Fenon's shotgun, and waited for Fenon to wait.

I remember when I pressed the safety and fired, the bullet was already heading towards the sky.

What's more, Trinity's "enemy" is not the police, but the Matrix, which is a behemoth with greater American public power than the police represent. She cannot be caught, and will be "destroyed" once caught.

Even if her body is not in the "capsule".

So why does she want to be an enemy of the Matrix?

The same question is why humans pollute the sky and make robots lose power. In order to survive, machines create "farms" and let humans become "batteries".

The police in the Matrix don't know this, they think the sky they see is the real sky, even though their eyes have never been used.

Morpheus's ship was named Nebuchadnezzar. Nebuchadnezzar was the Babylonian king who captured Jerusalem. He selected many young and smart people to take back to Babylon, including Ezekiel.

In Ezekiel Chapter 7 Verse 25: Destruction was approaching, and they asked for peace, but there was no peace to be found.

Morpheus tells Neo that there is a person who created the Matrix, and he should come back to destroy it.

Of course, doing so will free humans, but once they regain their freedom, they will face a wasteland and a dark sky that even machines don't know how to recover from.

Some people have seen the real world, but cannot face it, and they cannot return to the matrix, so they reach a helpless ending.

Although the world of the Matrix is ​​false, human civilization and society are still there, but these are not the "main structure" of the Matrix.

Morpheus and Neo are both standing in a flat blank space. First, they must distinguish up, down, left and right. If it is on the earth, it is caused by gravity, but there is no gravity in the matrix world.

You have to start over, like a new born baby.

Children's learning ability and acceptance are stronger than adults, although from the perspective of adults, some of their opinions are childish.

Morpheus said that the time in the matrix is ​​1999, which is very close to the millennium.
