Chapter 660 This killer is not too cold(1/2)



Philippe is a native of Lyon, France. He is not a wizard, but a squib. He has been working as a flight attendant on European special trains for more than six years.

Squibs cannot enter magic schools as students, but not everyone lives a mediocre life. Mrs. Figg serves as Dumbledore's correspondent, responsible for contacting the wizarding world and the Muggle world. It is the future and destiny of the savior Potter.

An important witness in a crucial trial.

Not everyone is as stubborn and extreme as Filch, so he stays in Hogwarts school as a housemaster and has no relationship with the children.

Philip liked traveling, so he applied for this "job of serving people". However, this job was not as romantic as he imagined. He spent most of his time on the train and had no time to get off the train to travel.

But he is still positive and optimistic. He can cook delicious French meals in the luxurious mobile palace while watching the changing beautiful scenery. Sometimes he will also rescue people in trouble, such as the person who just didn't know that he was

What is the wife talking about sir.

In the hearts of Italian and French men, every woman is an angel. They are sweet-mouthed to the point of being crazy. When Philip knew that Pomona also liked cooking, he even invited her to teach her while watching the sunset in front of Severus.

She makes baked snails.

Many ingredients in the magical world are dangerous, such as cabbage that can bite people. He enjoys the process of "killing" vegetables.

When he was a child, he didn't like to eat vegetables. His mother said that if he didn't eat vegetables, the vegetables would eat him. At first, he didn't believe it until she took him to see those magical plants.

Only then did the big squib realize that the bedtime story his mother told him was true.

It is a pity that he cannot be a wizard, but it does not hinder his "ambition". Lyon is the headquarters of Interpol. Like many boys, he once determined to become an Interpol.

Later, his mother told him the story of Grindelwald. Squibs like him were no match for dark wizards. At that time, he couldn't tell the difference between Interpol and Aurors. When he could tell the difference, his

His interest has shifted to cooking, and "killing" those biting vegetables has become his job.

Wizards generally don't know much about Muggles, and few people watch movies. Philip likes watching movies very much, and sometimes he writes his own scripts, in which the protagonists are the passengers.

He just helped Severus with a little effort. After all, the brothers and sisters all over the world are one family. Philip's humor made Pomona reluctant to go back to the box and continue reading to kill time.

Fleur Delacour and her female classmates walked briskly and confidently, perhaps because of the French culture.

Picking up a conversation on the street is a tradition, and complimenting beauty is a virtue. Without a strong heart, women can easily be deceived by these smooth-talking liars. Of course, it feels better to be flattered all day long, and that kind of confidence and elegance will naturally arise.

The open atmosphere of France is completely different from the closedness of the British Isles. They are used to the dull and depressing life, and they don't understand how much the outside world has changed. Until Fleur became a half-breed Veela.

When the world appeared in Hogwarts, they suddenly realized that times had changed.

Even reporters like Rita Kister haven't changed their mindset. She reported Hagrid's half-giant identity, thinking that it would cause an uproar. Hagrid also thought that she would definitely be expelled like Remus.

Submitted a resignation application to Albus, but he was fine. He still served as a forestry guard at Hogwarts.

During the Second Wizarding War, many British people fled the UK on European trains.

There are belligerent men and non-belligerent men in this world. Philip prepared a lot of delicious food for the panicked people. He thought that food and hot drinks would make those who were tortured by fear feel better.

In addition to macarons, the famous French dessert is mille-feuille, which is made of three layers of brown puff pastry and two layers of custard sauce. Although the ingredients are simple, the process of making the pastry is extremely complicated.

A piece of Napoleon cake and a cup of coffee, this is the after-dinner dessert and afternoon tea provided by "Orient Express".

Many people think that because I can afford expensive and luxurious things, I am an important person. This perception is actually putting the cart before the horse.

In Breakfast at Tiffany's, the fake necklace Hepburn wore was not valuable, but there were still many people who wanted to buy it, and even her used lipstick was purchased at exorbitant prices.

A used lipstick is not worth much at all, even if it was once a top-notch luxury product, but if that lipstick was used by Hepburn, the feeling would be different.

It's like kissing an angel.

It was Hepburn who made it no longer a commodity, because she no longer associated it with cold war, brutal beast fighting, and dirty politics.

There was a naughty princess who sneaked out to play recklessly and met a rude American reporter. He picked up a beautiful girl who looked drunk on the roadside and did not take advantage of her. Instead, he kept her safe in his own home.

We had to spend the night. Joe may not be a gentleman, but he is a good man. His life has become different because of this romantic encounter.

There are fewer and fewer men like Joe now, and they tend to make things worse when girls are in trouble. Merope is ugly, and Bok Bogin extorted money from her.

Rousseau said in "On the Origin of Human Inequality" that the differences between people are simply caused by habits, or by the different lifestyles people choose when adapting to life. Therefore, a person's physical constitution

The quality or strength often depends on whether his education method is hard training or pampering, rather than his innate temperament.

Education can not only make a difference between educated people and uneducated people, but as the level of education increases, the difference between educated people will increase, just like a giant and a dwarf.

With every step they take on the same starting line, the distance between them increases.

In a state of nature, if people eat the same food, use the same tools, and live the same life, the differences between people will be smaller.

The huge differences between people at different levels of society are due to their differences in education and lifestyle. The natural inequality of human beings is deeply deepened by the inequality caused by the social system.

British "delicacies" are not considered delicacies at all in the eyes of the French and Chinese, but British people who are used to British food still wonder how anyone would eat baked snails because they look so similar to slugs.

The stronger the desire, the more it needs legal restrictions. However, not to mention the chaos and evil that desire brings to society every day, which has proved the powerlessness of the law in this regard. We must also carefully study whether these evils are accompanied by the law.

, if so, even if the law can subdue those evils, it makes no sense for us to ask the law to punish those evils that would not exist without the law.

We must first distinguish between physical love and spiritual love. Physical love is lust, and spiritual love limits this lust to a specific object, or at least focuses more on it.

A favorite object, and this kind of spiritual love is what women strongly praise.

Why does "Mr. Love Saint" have so many female admirers? He is not as handsome as Sirius Black.

Because he has always loved Lily, purely spiritually, he did not get any feedback from Lily, he just gave everything, even including his own life.

This is the expression of great chivalry and chivalrous love.

In the love of chivalry, men unconditionally lift women to unprecedented heights, "I will attack the city for you," "I will go through fire and water for you," "I will fight for you," etc., and doing so is

No need for anything in return.

The essence of what knights do is not because they are nice to ladies, but for themselves. Through such actions, they gain an identity, an identity that can improve themselves. This is similar to fighting for God.

, even if the Crusaders slaughtered the pagans cruelly, in the hearts of those butchers, what they did was still sacred.

During the Fifth Crusade, the Crusaders even sacked their brothers in Christ, the Byzantine Empire, and stole the famous golden cross from Hagia Sophia.

In order to deal with the powerful and brutal Crusaders, the Arab kings who were usually at odds with each other had to put aside their old grievances and gradually unite. The Arab world's effective counterattack against the Crusaders began in the late period of the Second Crusade.

Saladin effectively expanded the results of the war and regained the city of Jerusalem.

The Franks have always been the main provider of the Crusades, and even the Arabs called the "Crusades" the "Frankish Invasion." But Venice was for another reason. More than a century of experience in the Crusades made Christians

After understanding the fact that the land route to Syria was difficult and difficult, and the Byzantines were wary of armies passing through their territory, the best way was to take the sea route through the Mediterranean. At that time, there were roughly three seafaring countries with this capability.

Pisa, Genoa and Venice, and Pisa and Genoa are at war, so Venice is the only option left.

In the first week of Lent in 1201, six Frankish knights arrived in Venice. They made a commercial request to the Venetians to transport 33,000 troops to the Syrian coast. Enrico Dandolo, the Venetian consul at the time, was obviously very interested in the envoys.

The scale they mentioned was astonishing. The Venetian spent a week evaluating the task, and the experienced quoter finally made the following quotation: Freight: 4 marks per horse, 2 marks per person. The service period is one year. The total cost is 94,000

Mark provided 50 armed galleys for free on the condition that half of all the spoils of the expeditionary force should be given to Venice. From a unit price point of view, this offer was not excessive, but the total cost was equivalent to Frank's fiscal revenue for a year. After one night, the Frank knights

After careful consideration, the Venetian plan was agreed to. At the celebration held in St. Mark's Basilica the next day, the "Treaty of Venice" was officially signed.

For Venice, this largest commercial contract in the Middle Ages was an out-and-out gamble, because it required Venice to cease all other commercial activities for up to two years and devote all its possessions to the entire labor force of the Treaty of Venice.

, ships, shipyards, arsenals and funds. This means that if the Crusade fails, Venice will be destroyed.

The initial destination of the Eastern Expedition was not the Holy Land of Jerusalem, but Egypt. Egypt is a country of wealth. If Cairo or Alexandria were captured, Venice would receive more than the sum of all previous commercial gains. The high rate of return allowed Venetian merchants to facilitate this move.

The signing of a commercial contract. Only a few people knew this secret at the time, and the treaty vaguely stated: "Starting from the port of Venice, no matter where you go." In this way, preparations for the largest sea voyage in the history of Venice began.

.

As a country of merchants, Venice's transshipment trade between the East and the West was the most important source of wealth, so the relationship between Venice and Byzantium was crucial.

Different from the well-organized Venetian maritime supply line, the Crusaders were loose and inefficient. Those country bumpkin Crusaders made a lot of jokes when they first saw the walls of Constantinople. A city of this size was their first

Unheard of. Constantinople was the largest city in the Christian world at that time, with a city population of 400,000 to 500,000, compared with only about 60,000 people in Venice and Paris. It was the first time I saw this city in Europe.

The people were shocked and awed, unable to believe that there could be such a huge city in the world. They did not even understand the marble streets, mosaics, sacred gold vessels, statues from the classical world, and sacred relics in Constantinople.

.

Venice emerged from the Crusades. The wealth plundered by the Crusaders, as well as the books about ancient Greece and Rome robbed from the Arabs, were first appreciated by Venetian merchants and then shipped to Western Europe.

This is also the reason why the three cities of Florence, Genoa, and Venice have become the birthplace and largest center of the Renaissance in Italy and even Europe.

The International Wizards' Conference held in Sardinia in 1289 discussed the Crusades. Wizards did not directly participate in the war, but they served as "porters" during the war.

The subsequent outbreak of the Black Death also spread throughout Europe through maritime trade routes. Wizards were used as scapegoats and were burned at the stake by Muggles.

This knowledge is not suitable for children to know, and the old ghost Binns should not tell it in class, just like he should not tell the secrets of the secret room to those students.

Salazar Slytherin has always been a controversial and taboo person. Some people think he is as great as Merlin, while others think he is the most evil and cruel dark wizard. His secrets make people curious and frightening.

All in all, he tends to make people fall into eccentric madness.

Voldemort told her that he gave her the honor of wearing Slytherin's locket. Maybe in his eyes, Slytherin's locket was better worn by her beautiful display stand than by Kreacher's ugly one.

The house elf is wearing a beautiful.

It was not a real necklace, but more like a noose. Like wisdom itself, it would strangle her to death sooner or later.

Why couldn't she simply enjoy her honeymoon like an ordinary woman? Fleur was much happier than she was!

She became inexplicably angry, then poked the cake on the plate, dismembering it again.

Philip, who was trying to make her happy, saw that she was getting angry again and stopped telling jokes. He quietly turned his eyes to Severus, who silently mouthed the word "period", and Philip

I understood immediately.
