Chapter 471 The boring village

After having lunch in the large atrium restaurant next to Exhibition Hall 12, they continued to visit the British Museum.

Most tourists go straight to Greek Pavilion 17, where many marble sculptures were taken from the Parthenon.

After nearly a thousand years of plunder by Rome and plunder and damage by the British in modern times, the collection of the National Museum in Athens is low in both quantity and quality. The Greeks are currently discussing the return of these marble statues, and the two countries are very unhappy about this.

.

Because the stone statues had been cut before being transported to England, and due to transportation damage, these stone statues were all incomplete and looked like pieces of meat, without any aesthetic appeal.

Anyone who has seen the Parthenon Corridor in Greece will know why the Parthenon in Athens is so dilapidated. The robbers did not carefully protect them when they plundered the essence of ancient civilization. Either the horse has a head and the body is missing.

, either the human body has a body, the head is missing, the legs of the centaur are missing, the arms of the humanoid goddess are missing, there is no other adjective to describe it except that the place is messy and devastated.

Marx believed that religion is the lament of suppressed creatures, and it is equivalent to the mood in a soulless state and the emotion of a heartless world.

Pomona feels that religion is more like a complement to the human soul. When people are lonely and helpless, they will pray to God for help, and they will not feel so lonely.

The biggest difference between the Greek gods and the gods of other civilizations is that they have humanity. In the initial primitive worship, the Greeks worshiped the power of gods rather than morality. This kind of gods are more like powerful humans.

Entering the era of moral civilization, humans who know their sense of shame will cover up the mistakes of their idols and try to create a god with perfect morality.

In Plato's mind, the God of Love in heaven exists in ideals and does not exist in reality. The one who lives in the world is the God of Love on earth. Venus also has to take a bath. She will be surprised if someone disturbs her while taking a bath. This is

It is the reaction of a living person.

What should a God of Love with perfect morals do if someone peeks at him while taking a bath?

The Renaissance opposed theology but not religion, and the foundation of Christian theology was Neoplatonism. Plato has always been known for pursuing spiritual communication, rejecting lust, and pursuing rational and spiritual pure love. The church, especially Catholicism, prohibits clergy from getting married, which is consistent with

It is related to the social atmosphere in the late ancient Roman society. The Roman aristocrats indulged themselves too much and lived a life of indulgence in the morning and evening, as if they only had a skin alive.

In the era of moral civilization, excessive prohibition has created new social problems. The vast majority of men do not like Plato at all, and that idealized love is simply unrealistic.

Plato said that the best love only exists between men. Homosexuality was very popular in Greece and Rome, but not everyone was gay, and there were still many people who liked women.

If you can't accept it, you can't accept it. There were many homosexuals in the medieval church. This is directly related to the theologically based Neoplatonism. Neoplatonism promoted Eastern mysticism, which is superstition.

Not only the Holy Grail, the Shroud, and the True Cross, but also the holy foreskin he left behind are believed to have the miraculous effect of making a woman pregnant by looking at them.

Henry V borrowed it from a French church. Fortunately, the church only said that it had an anti-fetal effect, but did not return it because of the obvious effect.

If you borrow something, you must repay it. It’s not difficult to borrow again. If you don’t repay something, you can’t borrow it again.

The rule of the Come and Go Room is that you borrow and return it, but Albus borrowed the Mirror of Erised and refused to return it. According to the rules, the entrance to the Come and Go Room should disappear, but members of DA can still enter.

As the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, Albus Dumbledore has the power to change some of the rules of magic. Having power means enjoying privileges. When the privileges are in one's own hands, no one will have any objections. If the privileges are in the hands of others, I feel very uncomfortable there. It is useless to clamor for equality and complain about unfair fate at this time. You have to grab it to use it yourself.

Marx said: Violence is the midwife of every old society that gives birth to a new society.

Violence is not a derogatory term in Marx's eyes. Boys' world is full of competition and violence, and girls cannot survive in a world where beasts are rampant.

Draco withdrew from this contest and went to work as a doctor at St. Mungo's. He is a soft-hearted person. He is more suitable for acting coquettishly and bullying others, but is not suitable for using violence to break out of his own world.

The result of violence against civilization is what Pomona saw before her eyes, complete destruction, and the stone sculptures were destroyed and mutilated.

There's nothing fancy about these stolen goods, but it's a pity that Severus is in a meeting right now, and it will make everyone feel embarrassed if she goes back now.

"I'm bored. Let's find an interesting topic, Iris."

"It took Charlie a lot of time to retrieve the Norwegian Lobosaurus named Roberta this time. His friend was not as reliable as he thought. After raising her for a period of time, he stopped raising her because she was difficult to tame and sold her. "I gave it to a passing traveler." Iris said, "After many twists and turns, I finally found Roberta in the dungeon of a merchant who sold dragon blood for money. She was tortured miserably, and many parts of her body were ulcerated. "

"Oh, my God!" Pomona exclaimed.

"I think her original adopter thought that having a dragon as a pet was special and that he could keep a dragon in his backyard by following the instructions in the book. But later he found out that was not the case. It was too dangerous and not obedient at all. , so I resold it.”

"Charlie doesn't know at all?" Pomona said angrily. She thought Roberta would be well taken care of.

"He has been staying in Romania. He only returned to England for the Triwizard Tournament to transport the dragon. After the game, he brought the dragon back. The half-giant kept crying when he saw Roberta become like that. The dragon seemed to be still alive. Remember him, he is very docile and does not like to attack people like the legend says. Now he is taking care of the dragon."

"Where's Charlie?"

"He joined the Department for the Care of Magical Creatures and is still in the same department, but he can already stay in the UK." Aris paused and then said, "There is a country called Moldova between Romania and Ukraine. That is a tradition.

A strong Quidditch team, I think Blaise will find fun there."

"Where is that?" Pomona asked inexplicably.

"A small country next to Romania. It has plenty of sunshine and is known as the Land of Sunshine. More importantly, it is very close to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary. The horns of the Romanian Longhorns can be used to make potions after being ground into powder.

It is of high value, but this kind of dragon is difficult to find, and its horn is now a Class B trade item."

"You want to put Blaise in the Beast's office?"

"It's the Fire Dragon Research and Restriction Bureau. Thanks to the help of Fire Dragon in this battle in the North Sea, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses." Iris said calmly, "This is a work arrangement. Blaise will obey the order."

"What if he doesn't listen?"

"No one dares to disobey sir's orders." Iris sneered and said, "There is no other entertainment in Moldova except Quidditch. It's no wonder they became a strong team."

"I don't remember Blaise liking Quidditch."

"But sir, I like it. Slytherin has always been the champion of the House Quidditch Cup before Harry Potter entered the school. You just need to tell him so." Iris covered his mouth with his hands and waved.

Mona whispered in her ear.

"You really want to ruin Brace's life." Pomona exclaimed.

"There is nothing wrong with him, but he has an overly charming mother and his unsociable personality. I heard that except Draco, he has no friends in Slytherin or Hogwarts. He really doesn't

It should be like this." Iris smiled charmingly. "Many friends can lead to many paths. No one can help him in his career except relying on Draco. Staying at home is boring unless he wants to squander all his money.

Mom’s hard earned money.”

Pomona shook her head and sighed.

"You are really too scheming."

"Have you ever seen a Slytherin without any scheming?" Iris said smoothly. "Do you find it interesting now, madam?"
