Chapter 3048 adamas(1)



In "The Fable of the Bees" it is said: A person who advocates honor must have courage. If he lacks courage, his other principles are at best a sword without a point.

In addition to courage, a person who advocates honor also needs principles. In order to defend this principle, he will not hesitate to give up his job, wealth, and even his own life.

Compared with Death Eaters, Grindelwald's followers are more "sane". This may be because they have passed through the "ring of fire" set by Grindelwald in the Lestrange family catacombs in Paris. Only their faith is unwavering.

Only those who can pass through the deadly flames.

Those who seek to transform a country or the world cannot do so simply by cultivating and exploiting dissatisfaction. Inciting personal pain and subjective bad emotions is not conducive to friendly negotiations, makes "peaceful settlement" impossible, and will also cause

Let one party's will be subject to the unilateral arbitrary control of the other party, and be excluded from objective participation in cooperation with society.

But there are always sober-minded people. Some of these people may join to seek benefits, while others stay away from them. Apart from Bella and Regulus, who was deeply influenced by her, there are no other Death Eaters in the Black family who are entertaining them.

After having an affair with a mysterious man, the Blacks stopped participating in social activities and lived a secluded life. They even did not invite anyone to Sirius's father's funeral.

Negative emotions will always cool down as they are vented. The more powerful people are, the less they dare to invest in change with people who have nothing, because if they fail, everything they have accumulated over the years will be lost.

They don't like change and reject new things in order to maintain the status quo. Compared to Muggles, Muggles are a greater threat to them. Some outstanding Muggles will take away jobs that "belong" to their children and nephews. The British Ministry of Magic

The job is not hereditary, although they are not short of living on that salary. Moreover, the Blacks can also "tolerate" the Muggle neighbors around them, as long as they ignore them, there is no need to drive them out as the mysterious man said.

What one person calls generosity, another person calls extravagant, what one person calls stupidity, another person calls wise. France's Enlightenment thought was not suppressed during the Louis XV period, and even received support from the royal family.

Likewise, some people like the life of a Baroque king, and some don't.

Some people may think that if water flows slowly, we must think about future generations. So while you are still alive, accumulate as much as possible so that future generations will have inheritance to inherit.

There are also people who feel that they will not have any descendants anyway, and whether they can live tomorrow is a question, so they indulge in carnivalesque regardless of the consequences.

Individual ethical egoists actually believe in one moral theory, but lie about actually believing in another theory. Otherwise, they are probably not acting in their own self-interest.

They have their own positions, and there will be many disguises in their words and actions. Louis XV's words "even if the floods are raging after my death" were not said by him in public, but in private to his mistress Madame Pompidou. Some people also said it

Said this was what Madame Pompidou said to Louis XV.

Anyway, no matter who said it, it is the golden rule of hedonists. They may have descendants, but they don't care what happens to their children in the future.

In the last generation of the Gaunt family, it was said that they no longer even knew where they lived. In the past, they often held lavish dances and were crowded with guests.

Lancaster itself had little money, and the families of the wealthy wives were protected by force from the British princes. By the time of Queen Victoria, the British royal family gave up all land income and lived on parliamentary appropriations, except for retaining Lancaster.

and the territories of Cornwall.

"Did you know that the Queen once leased the territory where she raised grouse to a general to offset the cost of renting his land to the royal family?"

Severus said suddenly while passing Hagrid's chicken shed.

"What?" Pomona asked confused.

"They were neighbors. They lived in Windsor Castle at the time," Severus said.

Pomona was getting more and more confused.

He smiled somewhat smugly.

"Secrets are usually hidden for 50 years, because after 50 years the relevant people are no longer alive, and these family files will be kept in Windsor Castle, making it difficult for outsiders to access."

"Are you proud of finding out about a chicken?" Pomona asked.

"There are many cases initiated in the name of the Queen, but she is not aware of it and it is her lawyers who take matters into their own hands," Severus said.

Pomona couldn't believe her ears.

"Are you mocking the Queen?" Pomona asked in surprise.

"I didn't," he said smoothly.

"I heard it, don't try to be cunning!" Pomona stretched out her finger and poked his heart.

"That's your imagination. What's your evidence?" he said in a pretentious manner.

Pomona smacked him.

"Other people are not stupid. If you say that in Buckingham Palace..."

"It might also be Windsor Castle." He said nonchalantly.

"Oh!" She was so angry that she yelled so loudly that the chickens in the chicken shed began to crow.

"How is the relationship between centaurs and trolls now?" Severus asked.

"What else?" she said sarcastically.

"No, answer my question seriously." He asked seriously. "The Ministry of Magic will also stay to deal with this problem."

Pomona calmed down a little.

"Do you know about the Arnold Mill trial of the King of Prussia?" Pomona said.

He recalled it.

"Is this case included in the file I gave you?" he asked confused.

"No, no." Pomona circled around him. "There is a Latin proverb, qui jure suo utitur, neminin facit injuriam. What does this mean, Severus?"

He folded his hands over his chest.

"It is not illegal for anyone to exercise their rights," he replied.

"It sounds very much like the explanations of the Supreme Court justices, but they were all sentenced by the king to build fortresses," Pomona said.

He sneered, as if he thought her threat was a joke.

"There is another translation of this sentence, 'Exercise one's own rights without harming the interests of others.' This is the legal basis of international responsibility stipulated in international law. If a country abuses its territorial rights and causes..."

"Get to the point." He said coldly.

"Even the Queen is not outside the law." Pomona said word for word. "She rents other people's land, and others rent her land and use the proceeds as deductions. This is the way to live as a neighbor.

You should learn more!"

He seemed to be angry with her and was thinking about how to fight back.

"Let's continue talking about the mill!" Pomona said to herself. "The defendant built a pond upstream of the miller and used the water in the pond to raise fish. However, this did not provide enough power to provide water flow to the mill, the defendant said.

, he has the right to do that, it is a matter of good common sense, otherwise it will lead to great injustice, and he will be deprived of the right to dispose of property that clearly belongs to him."

"What's the problem?" Severus asked.

"Didn't I just say that? When you exercise your rights, you must not harm the interests of others!" Pomona screamed.

"Don't scare the chickens." Severus said calmly, "I'm not deaf, you don't need to yell."

Pomona was so angry that she wanted to jump.

Everyone in this school knows what an optimistic and kind witch she is, and she never gets angry with others.

But she still closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and began to recite Buddhist scriptures.

Otherwise, what else can be done?
