"A Magical Hogwarts( Find the latest chapter!

Vienna,

Heroes Square.

A young couple is looking up at the equestrian statues of the two military leaders in the center of the square:

Prince Eugen and Archduke Karl.

As for Archduke Karl, William had indeed heard of it.

This outstanding Austrian general was a famous anti-French general. He first defeated Napoleon in Aspern, who was like a **** of war at the time.

But Prince Eugen... Forgive William's pitiful European history, all his memories of this name only come from the ** prince of a certain "Azur Lane".

Fortunately, there is a Hermione card, the Know-It-All, and the history teacher no longer has to worry about his studies.

It was rare to find that William had something he didn't know. The girl raised her chin and explained proudly:

"Prince Eugen was an outstanding military commander of the Austrian Habsburg dynasty.

He once defeated the Ottoman Empire, forcing it to sign the "Peace of Karlovitz" and ceded a lot of land to Austria, including Hungary. "

William was stunned.

Merlin... It's like Lu Luo weeping!

However, when it comes to the war between Austria and the Ottomans, you have to mention Constantinople again.

After the Ottoman Empire took Constantinople, Europe's bridgehead against infidels was completely lost.

Later, the young Sultan Suleiman led the army out of Constantinople and marched all the way north.

He vowed to let the glory of God spread over this sinful land of infidels in Europe.

Suleiman defeated the Hungarian army, all the way to the Austrian walls of Vienna, launched the siege of Vienna in 1529.

This war was the first time the Ottoman Empire invaded Central Europe. In the 150 years after the war, the main theme was the protracted war between Austria and the Ottoman Empire.

Vienna also once again became Europe's bridgehead against paganism.

Here I have to mention again the role of France, the dutiful son of God, who plays the role of the second or fifth child.

During the Ottoman offensive, France turned against the religious fanaticism of the Middle Ages and chose to form an alliance with the pagan Ottomans in the face of national interests.

The two sides also formed the notorious "Sacrilegious Alliance of Iris and Crescent", which lasted for two and a half centuries.

Hermione has always been interested in history, whether magic or Muggle history.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be the only existence in Professor Binns' class who could not be hypnotized.

The more she talked, the more excited she became, and soon she talked about the famous Austrian Habsburg family.

And this family... a unique and exclusive world.

The Habsburg dynasty was the most extensive royal family in European history, having ruled the Holy Roman Empire, the Austrian Empire, the Spanish Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Family members have been emperors, kings, grand dukes, dukes, etc.

Including the Sarajevo incident that triggered the First World War, and the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, all belong to the Habsburg family.

But this family likes to marry close relatives, and their most obvious facial feature is the large, deformed chin that protrudes outward.

Because of the convex jaw, the teeth cannot be aligned and closed, and some even cannot close their mouths.

There was once a Spanish farmer who was taken aback when he first met King Charles V of Spain.

He even shouted: "Your Majesty, shut your mouth, the flies in the village are fierce!"

In addition to the chin, it has also led to a series of serious genetic diseases to follow, and the family infant mortality rate has risen rapidly.

From Philip I, after only 7 generations, by the time of Charles II, the king was already dead.

Charles II had no successor, which directly led to the demise of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty and the battle for the Spanish throne.

William looked at the sculpture again, and suddenly his eyes were sharp and he looked back.

The statue stands a thin girl with fair skin.

She was wearing a long black brocade court dress, lace-trimmed white gloves, and a parasol in her hand, as if she was eavesdropping on their conversation.

Hermione followed the line of sight.

Seeing that William was staring at her, the girl had no expression on her face. She didn't have the slightest sense of being caught and eavesdropped. Instead, she naturally exercised a ladylike manner and said:

"Welcome to Vienna."

After speaking, she rummaged through the pile of badges in her bag: "Excuse me, which country did you two come with?"

"We came by ourselves, my name is William Stark." William looked at the girl who looked like a receptionist and introduced: "Her name is Hermione Granger."

"Ah, I'm really sorry! Sir, I didn't recognize the two!"

The girl's words were very surprised, but the tone was unhurried, and there was a calm expression on her face.

It's like three girls.

It was normal for her not to recognize it. William and Hermione walked together as if they were traveling.

When passing by other cities, I bought a few pieces of clothes with ethnic characteristics.

Dressed in garish fashion, no one can recognize it.

The girl walked over unhurriedly and carefully glued the two breastplates to the lapel of William's coat.

He took out another one and put it on Hermione's clothes.

William and Hermione checked the badge at the same time to see if there was any magic on it.

Be careful~lightnovelpub.net~ Last year in Venice, Nymeria, the receptionist at the time, presented two Venetian masks with tracking magic on them.

William is now especially wary of this "fan" who likes to backstab.

"Tonight, I will host the two of you. My name is Missandei." The girl shook the golden bell, and a carriage slowly ran over.

William's gaze, past Missandei, stared at the luxury carriage in front of him, and in front of it were four Pegasus - Graling.

There are four types of Pegasus, namely: Rune Horse, Iseron, Thestral, and Graling.

Gralings generally live in northern Europe and are rare in the UK. Didn't expect to see it here.

William's eyes lit up... He already had Thestrals and the Rune Horse, and he was missing a Graling.

Master Ball...waiting to catch!

After getting into the carriage, William found that it was also extremely luxurious, like a royal carriage.

There is also a cosy bottle of water on one side, and a basket of hot muffins. In a few seconds, the carriage quickly left the square and entered the private passage.

Aroused the surprised eyes of a group of tourists around.

"Have the representatives of various countries come yet?" William asked leaning against the sofa.

"It's already ten days, but your representative from the UK has not arrived yet." Missandei finally showed a hint of curiosity.

"I heard that President Dumbledore can't come?"

"Yes, the professor really can't come." William was thinking about who the British representative would be.

The carriage crossed the alley and continued along the passage.

At this time, both William and Hermione looked up and saw the meeting place of the Wizards United Congress.

- Hofburg Palace.
