Chapter 756 White Soft Light

Rome is close to the Western Mediterranean, and the Vatican is in the center of Rome. If you go there by boat, you have to go a long way, but it is much closer by land.

But the Vatican does not necessarily have information about the Knights Templar. On the contrary, the French one who claims to have looted all the libraries in Italy has more books than Italy.

"Do they believe it?" Pomona asked, taking the wine glass handed over by Severus, which contained rose-colored champagne.

"I don't know." Severus curled his lips and said meaningfully, "But they thought it was a good topic, and we didn't tell them about our plan to repair the bank."

Pomona shrugged. She already knew this plan was crazy.

"Switzerland hollowed out a lot of mountains during the Cold War, and Venice doesn't have their natural advantage in this area." Severus sighed, "Have you ever heard of the country San Marino?"

"Where is that?"

"The third smallest country in the world, only slightly larger than Morocco and the Vatican. According to legend, it was founded by a group of Christians. Under the leadership of San Marino, they escaped the persecution of the Roman emperor and settled in Mount Daidano to establish a city-state.

, the political system of the Roman Republic has been maintained for more than 1,600 years, and Gianluca thought it was a good place to dig for gold. In the 16th century, San Marino was involved in disputes with many surrounding countries, but in the end it was able to survive

.Until the 18th century, San Marino became an oligarchic republic ruled by a few people and gradually declined, and was almost annexed by the Papal States. In 1797, Napoleon recognized its right to independence, respected San Marino's independence, and even allowed

San Marino expanded its territory, but San Marino did not agree to any expansion. Later, in 1815, Napoleon was defeated. At the Vienna Peace Conference, San Marino was recognized by all parties as an independent country. Venice had the right to self-determination and was an East Roman state.

Granted by the Emperor, this authority was also recognized by France and Rome."

"Wow." She couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Instead of letting Venice become independent, it is better to make good use of this already independent country. It can be reached in two or three hours by sailing. Giuseppe Garibaldi, who reunited Italy, once hid on the top of a mountain in San Marino to avoid being hunted.

, received warm hospitality from San Marino. When Garibaldi came down from the mountain, San Marino gave him enough money and food, and this led to the unification of Italy. After Garibaldi unified Italy, in order to thank San Marino for its funding, it became the country of Italy.

The Garibaldi family has a high status in Italy, but in this case, Lombardy's financial business will be taken away by Venice, and I don't think the goblins would want to open a new Gringotts in that country."

"Is that Gianluca Dante a good guy or a bad guy?"

"He is very smart, but he is very afraid of Monica and is as stupid as a donkey in front of her." Severus said contemptuously, "His brain has completely stopped using."

This reminded Pomona of Napoleon of Panama, an emperor who always lacked confidence in front of Josephine.

It's incredible to think that Venice actually has to rely on these three "losers" to save it.

"The day when Venice was defeated was the day when San Marino was established." Severus exclaimed, "It's like fate. Thanks to the help of San Marino, Italy is where it is now. After suffering the losses, Venice didn't want to

Let’s continue to cause division.”

"One person will eventually die, only collective eternity." Pomona said, "Salud."

"Salud." Severus clinked glasses with her, and the glass made a charming sound, which sounded very pleasant.

Both mermaids and spiders weave webs, but spiders weave webs to catch food, while mermaids weave webs as beautiful decorations.

It is said that the national flower of San Marino is cyclamen, and its flower language is introversion. People born with the blessing of this flower are shy and shy. Because they don’t talk much, sometimes even good-hearted people will be misunderstood.

Maybe this dream about the Adriatic Sea can only exist in her mind.

Gianluca's boat returned to Venice in the afternoon, and they came to a place called "Ghost Asylum".

Venice is the most haunted city in the world. People built a place specially for them to live in, but they don't seem to appreciate it at all.

Just like the cat's owner worked hard to build a cat nest for it, but the cat has a special liking for cardboard boxes, ruthlessly wasting the owner's kindness.

"Why did you bring us here?" Monica asked.

"Library." Gianluca said. "You don't think there are really any useful documents in the Library of San Marco, do you?"

"Oh, no!" Pomona looked at those modern buildings with horror. She didn't want to study in such a library.

It turns out that this place is not as bad as she thought. There are no gorgeous Baroque-style buildings on the island, but it is an ordinary European town.

Concrete was not used to build houses at first, but to make garden flower pots. The artist used wires to weave them into various shapes, and then poured cement, sand, and pebbles with better adhesion together. He made it according to his idea

A new flower bed.

Human creativity should not be stifled. The skyscrapers are like Towers of Babel, or swords thrust into the sky. Anyone who does not pay tribute to them will be destroyed.

The London Eye is just a way for politicians to show off to the world what a beautiful city they have created. It is as condescending as the Eiffel Tower.

However, apart from London, many cities in the UK are becoming increasingly depressed. Everyone is moving to London, and police, nurses and teachers have no fixed place to live.

There are more refugees from other backward countries than natives. They do not believe in either Protestantism or Catholicism. Many of them believe in Christianity. Those people act according to their own doctrines and laws, and they will not listen to the orders of Christian politicians.

Power comes from people who obey their own orders. No one listens to their own orders and tells them to go east or west.

The army during the Crusades was loosely organized and far inferior to the Venetian fleet, and they robbed Jerusalem everywhere.

Later, they robbed Venice, Italy, China, the Jews, and oil. No wonder God allowed so few Europeans.

The world will be more peaceful if there are fewer robbers. Not every child is born with hope. There are also people like Hitler and An Lushan who destroy the world.

"I once thought about building a wizarding orphanage," Pomona said to Severus, "but now I think that might be a bad idea."

"Why?"

"Even Voldemort believes that every orphan should be adopted by a wizarding family, and he has stayed in an orphanage." She said with emotion, "Cecilia Venier, the owner of Tao Niu Palace, also grew up in an orphanage.

She is not happy at all."

"She is the Sultan's beloved concubine, how could she be unhappy?"

"It's just a feeling. If she was really happy, she wouldn't like things in Venice so much." She looked at the water town in front of her and said, "I almost forgot about England and Hogwarts here."

Only those who are homesick will want to make their palace look like Venice, like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The princess is not happy, even if the king can give her everything she wants.

"You feel unhappy now? So you want to go back?"

"It's very complicated." She couldn't describe her feelings. "In short, I don't plan to build a wizard orphanage."

"What?" he asked confusedly.

"The tourism industry here doesn't seem to be very prosperous." Pomona asked Monica.

"This place is the same as Jucadai Island. It is inhabited by locals." Monica replied, "Some people say that the ghost sanctuary was built by the Freemasons."

"Why are they everywhere?" Pomona muttered, "They are really haunting."

"Why?" Severus asked.

"The shape of that house is the same as the Masonic crypt, but there is no sign of theirs at the door," Monica said.

Pomona and Severus looked back together. There was indeed no famous triangle or eye on the door lintel, but there was something like a sapphire.

Sapphire represents calm thinking and extraordinary wisdom, and there is one on Ravenclaw's diadem.

"Wearing that crown does not make people smarter." Voldemort suddenly said at this time, "But it can bring inspiration to people. Helena wears it to get inspiration."

"Have you ever worn it?" Pomona asked.

No one answered her.

"Who are you talking to?" Severus asked.

"Your master," Pomona said, "He's here again."

"Can't you use Occlumency?" he complained.

"You were also plotted against by Lockhart." Pomona said contemptuously, "He also knew that you knew how to brew Ecstasy."

The scary and mean old Slytherin bat who was always brewing potions in the cellar and secretly studying dark magic shut up.

"Maybe you can make me a crown and I can wear it on my head without having to worry about his Legilimency."

"That's not necessarily the case," Severus said. "He's a master at it."

"At least try it once." She said helplessly, "How can you know the result if you don't even try it once? Besides, he has no body now, and he doesn't know where his soul is?"

In the distance, the white ghost shelter said to be built by the Union of Free Masons exudes soft white light in the daylight, like a pearl-white ghost, facing the sapphire Adriatic Sea.

It is very ordinary, not as gorgeous as the Church of Our Lady of Ankang, but it is suitable for sitting down and resting. Maybe you can take out a silver coin, blow on it, and listen to its voice.

The sound is actually exactly the same as the sound made by the magic silverware in Dumbledore's office. It sounds very pleasant. It would be even more perfect if it can be paired with a fruit juice cocktail.
