In the world of Spirited Away, Yubaba's office is on the top floor of the oil house. After taking the elevator up, the decoration inside is very luxurious.

Mr. Wen's office in Longfeng Restaurant is not on the top floor, but you still have to go up through a separate elevator.

During the day, she felt that the place felt very eerie, and even more so at night.

On Severus's birthday, January 9th, they went to the exhibition held in the city hall. Because it was not officially open to the public, there were no lights in the exhibition hall, and only the murals were projected onto the white walls.

When the power goes out, the paintings disappear, looking like magic.

Many of the projected murals were discovered by archeology in tombs. The ancient Chinese believed that death was like life, and many collections were actually funerary objects in ancient tombs. It was as if ghosts and humans were both "living" in the tomb.

In this world.

Among so many murals, there was a picture of envoys found in the tomb of Prince Zhanghuai that impressed her deeply.

When the Eastern Roman Empire was shrouded in plague, famine, and war, forcing people to despair, how did those officials from the Tang Empire, with their broad robes and sleeves, respond to the Eastern Roman Empire's envoys asking for help? Did they provide help?

It was too far from Constantinople to Chang'an, and it would take a year or two to get there.

Distance creates beauty but also blocks information. Eastern and Western civilizations do not really understand each other very well.

Not all British people agree with the First Opium War. It was a small number of imperialists like Mr. Cupid who wanted to start a war regardless of the livelihood of the people at home, and wanted to leave their own traces in history through military exploits.

This is thanks to Lord Palmerston, who as Foreign Secretary does not think about how to use diplomatic strategies to solve international problems, but always thinks about building warships.

They were like failed pilots, leading everyone on a ship that deviated from the course, and many people were coerced into going astray.

March was originally dedicated to the goddess, but the Romans dedicated it to Mars, the god of war. The Romans, who were raised by she-wolves, always loved war.

The Romans were like Dudley, who used his physical strength to bully others, and had a thin but clever accomplice who would push other children to the ground and let him chase and beat him. Such a child would not be liked.

She didn't like those "heroes" who won battles, wore laurel wreaths on their heads, rode on war horses, and were greeted by civilians.

It was easy for soldiers to stop thinking. She admired those who were brave and clear-headed and knew what they were doing.

The end of this long corridor is Mr. Wen's office, which now feels like a tomb passage to Pomona, especially the immortal relief at the door. They are not so much traveling as they are going to a funeral.

At this time, there was a person standing in front of the double wooden door with an animal face pattern, or he had just come out of it. His colorful clothes were very conspicuous, and Pomona immediately recognized who he was.

"Good evening, madam." Ma Youjian said with a smile, and the door just closed with a coaxing sound behind him.

"I should say good morning, Mr. Ma." She said distantly, "Is Mr. Wen here?"

"You can tell me if you have anything." He clasped his hands behind his back and said with a strange smile, "You know a lot, Watson."

Pomona looked at the man guarding the door. Where was he?

"What do you want to do?" Ma Youjuan asked.

"The trap must not let the news leak out and let the werewolves notice it."

"Do you think there's a spy lurking in?"

"I think you should prevent people in the city from leaking information to outside the city. There are always one or two people who can't stand the temptation of profit and leak secrets. Although it is an individual act, the damage caused is huge and will affect our entire operation.

"

"How do I know it wasn't someone from your side who leaked the secret? Why do you think there must be a problem on our side?" Ma Youjuan asked sharply.

"I just remind you, don't forget that there are not only you in this city, but also Japanese and Koreans. If you suffer heavy losses..."

"That has nothing to do with you." Ma Youjuan interrupted her coldly, "We will solve our internal problems ourselves."

"Okay." Pomona said angrily, "Then I wish you good luck!"

After saying that, she turned around and planned to leave.

"There's something I don't understand, ma'am." Ma Youjuan said from behind her, "Can you answer me?"

Pomona turned to her "What's your problem?"

"Do you believe there is a heaven in this world?"

"What?"

"In our culture, there is a place called Peach Blossom Spring. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a man in Wuling who made a living by fishing. One day he was rowing along the stream and forgot about the distance. Suddenly he came across a peach blossom forest, except for

There were no other trees except the peach trees. Within a few hundred steps on both sides of the stream, there were many fallen flowers on the ground. The fisherman was very surprised by this. He continued to walk forward, hoping to reach the end of the forest. Peach Blossom Forest

The end of the river is the source of the stream. The fisherman found a hill with a small cave entrance. There seemed to be a faint light inside the cave. The fisherman abandoned the boat and walked in through the entrance of the cave. It was very narrow at first and could only accommodate

The next person passed. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly became bright and open. The land in front of the fisherman was flat and wide, with houses arranged very neatly, fertile fields, beautiful ponds, and mulberry trees and bamboos.

Plants. Field paths extend in all directions, and the sounds of cocks and dogs barking come and go. People come and go in the fields to cultivate and work. You know, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, our country was in chaos. At that time, there were constant natural and man-made disasters, but they were carefree.

If you can live a peaceful and happy life, do you think such a world is like your paradise?"

Pomona didn't know how to answer him.

"I heard from Moriarty that he once lived in seclusion for a while. I think that place was both a paradise and a paradise for him. Why don't you follow him and continue to live in seclusion?"

"What else did he tell you?" Pomona asked angrily.

"He also asked me, if one day I meet a woman I like, will I live in seclusion like him." Ma Youjuan twitched his lips, "I told him the story about the Peach Blossom Spring, and the people in the Peach Blossom Spring.

When he saw the fisherman, he was very surprised and asked him where he came from. The fisherman answered him one by one. The people here invited him to their homes, served him wine, and killed chickens to entertain him. In the village

When other people heard about the arrival of such a person, they all came to inquire about the news. They themselves said that their ancestors came to this isolated place with their wives, children, and neighbors to escape the wars during the Qin Dynasty. Since then, they have never seen anyone again.

People went out, so they were cut off from all contact with outsiders. The people in the village asked the fisherman what dynasty it was now. They didn't know there was the Han Dynasty, let alone the Wei and Jin dynasties. The fisherman told him everything he knew

All the things were told one by one, and the villagers all sighed and regretted after hearing this. The other people invited the fisherman to their homes and entertained him with their own fine wines and delicacies. After the fisherman stayed for a few days, he came to

The people in the village said goodbye. The people in the village told him not to mention anything about the Peach Blossom Spring to others. After the fisherman came out, he found his boat and went back along the way he came, marking everything. He arrived at the county

Cheng Wuling, he went to see the prefect and told his experience. The prefect immediately sent people to follow him to look for the marks made by the fisherman before. In the end, he got lost, and later he could no longer find the road to the Peach Blossom Spring. You guys

You just went to the cinema to watch a movie, right? It was an animated movie."

"Spirited Away and the Hidden God." Pomona said the name of the movie expressionlessly, saving him the trouble of speaking.

"The fisherman met Shenyin. He was entertained by 'people' in the Peach Blossom Spring. The people in the Peach Blossom Spring asked him to keep a secret, but he made the secret known to everyone. This is why I don't like those ordinary people.

The reason, your husband is the same as me, Muggles, that's what I remember you called them."

Pomona now felt the biggest difference between Ma Youjian and Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao hoped to reach a tolerance and understanding with them, and through "education" let them understand the truth and live in peace with each other.

Mayo Rein is just like those pure-bloods, so it's no wonder that he and Severus get along so well.

"Do you think those people in the Peach Blossom Spring are gods?"

"No, in order to protect the tomb, the ancients would make the tomb passage from narrow to wide. In fact, the fisherman came not to the Peach Blossom Spring in the true sense, but to an ancient cemetery. In the pre-Qin period, there was still the custom of sacrificing people.

Those 'people' who give food to fishermen are actually ghosts who don't know they are dead. In your wandology, what are the characteristics of mulberry and peach wood?"

"The mahogany wand is flexible and suitable for transformation. Harry Potter's father, James Potter, is the owner of the mahogany wand."

"What about the mulberry trees?"

"I've never heard of Ollivander making a wand out of that material."

"Your wandology is to connect the material properties of the wand with people. I heard that you still have the habit of carrying wands to the grave. The Elder Wand was brought to the grave by Albus Dumbledore because of this etiquette.

Then the Dark Lord dug up his tomb and stole the wand?"

"He even told you this?" Pomona covered her head, Severus was unexpectedly "talkative".

"Your wand knows how to deal with people, but it can't do anything against spirits like Peeves and Bloody Balor. We often plant pine and cypress trees in graveyards. I heard that the coffins of the ancient Romans were made of cypress trees.

It symbolizes the eternal sleep of the dead, and the world can be peaceful and happy. Since you also long for peace, why bother others' peace?"

"I'm not a Roman."

"What does that have to do with it?" Ma Youjian sneered, "I heard that there is a werewolf, Remus Lupin, and his wand is made of cypress wood?"

"What do you want to say?"

"In your wandology, the owner of a cypress wand must die a hero. The cypress wand seeks its soul mate among those who have the courage to sacrifice themselves, especially those who are not afraid of the shadows in themselves and others. I remember Lai

Muslupin's wife is Nymphadora Tonks, from Hufflepuff Academy, and she actually dares to marry a werewolf."

Pomona couldn't understand. What on earth did Severus and him talk about?

"I admit that there are many outstanding people in your country, but we are not friendly enough to help you deal with the relationship between Peeves and Bloody Barrow. As you know, we are indeed good at dealing with the dead and ghosts."

"He asked you to deal with Peeves?"

"It's conditional cooperation. If you hadn't crossed that bottom line back then, it might have been possible." Ma Youjuan sighed, "It's a pity that we have deep grievances. There are still many people in our country who want to wash away the shame of a hundred years ago.

Wizards' involvement in Muggle wars will bring misfortune. We abide by the rules. Many wizards participated in the first and second wars, right?"

"You talk about this?" Pomona asked in disbelief.

"Otherwise, what else can we talk about?" Ma Youjuan frowned, as if she thought she was being unreasonable.

Political and military topics are undoubtedly the domain of straight men in society. Men’s preference for politics, economics, and the military seems to be deeply rooted. This is just like women who like to discuss makeup and fashion. They are like two alien beings from different planets.

, have no idea what the other party is talking about.

Although James longed to be loved by girls, he always played with Sirius. With him as his foil, Sirius became even more handsome.

success.
