Chapter 1052 "Golden Fleece"

"You guys did a good job of tidying up here, Linda, I can't see how the house looks like anymore." Nadia visited all the areas she could reach like a tourist, and went to the kitchen and restaurant by putting the food on the spot. , And then went to the living room and study room.

   "Have you been here before?" Pomona asked with a standard Hefpaff smirk.

   "I came here when I was young, I grew up in this village, and the children in the village usually play nearby."

   "Felix, come down!" Pomona shouted upstairs when Severus had walked out of the study.

  "This is my husband Edgar Smith."

"Nice to meet you."

  Severus was polite and polite, polite and indifferent.

  Not long after, there were footsteps from the stairs, and Felix appeared on the stairs.

   "That's our nephew, Jan Felix, who is our adopted son." Pomona introduced again.

   "Oh, nice to meet you, little guy." Nadia shrieked, taking out an Easter egg from her pocket. "It's a bit early, but you don't mind having more candies."

  Felix looked at Pomona.

   "Say thank you." Pomona said.

  So Felix took the egg and said thank you very well.

   "I hope my nephew can come too, so they have company." Nadia said, "but he is now in school."

   "Felix is ​​sick." Pomona smirked, "You can't spread the rash to other children."

   "Oh!" Nadia was startled.

   "Don't worry, ma'am, it's not dragon pox." Severus said, "but the doctor said it's better to rest at home."

  Pomona remembered the quick-acting candy set in her pocket. It finally came in handy.

  When Severus and Nadia were courteous, Pomona used a flying curse to recruit the truant candy from the flannel pocket, and then asked the invisible Kriece to give it to Felix.

Social occasions are actually very tiring. It seems that there are deep meaning behind the seemingly clusters of flowers, witty words, and sweet words. There are countless subtexts behind a good chat. People in the social circle don't like to explain things, but like to let themselves go. Guess, I'm very tired.

  Siris didn't like this kind of occasion. He would rather ride a flying motorcycle with James and play hide and seek with Muggle police.

  Middle-and-lower-class people can easily get lost among the drunken fans of Vanity Fair and be blinded by the superficial glitz.

Even the nobles were bewildered by Voldemort’s amazing appearance, strength and wisdom. The Great Demon King Sauron in the Lord of the Rings was not a very sinful character as soon as he appeared. He was also very charming, as if he was a great sage. The elves, humans, and dwarves were so happy to accept the ring he gave.

  Until people discovered the existence of the Supreme Lord of the Rings and understood his sinister intentions, the various races united to fight him. If it were not for the human prince to cut off Sauron's ring with a broken sword, it is not certain who will win in the end.

  Pomona wants to know more clues, but Nadia will never give her in vain. The old owl can get lost for a day, but he is so clever that he knows to hide from the rain and keep the letter dry. Who is the fool?

   "Oh, you are all British, so you don't drink coffee or tea?" Nadia suddenly raised her voice.

   "Do you want something?" Pomona smiled coyly.

   "It's a bit cheeky to say that, but I want to drink some." Nadia said cheerfully.

  At this time, Pomona remembered the porcelain she hadn't served guests.

  There is a famous saying in Vanity Fair, as long as I have money, I can become a good woman.

  For example, Mrs. Pompadour, the mistress of Louis XV, has a lot of money in her hands. This little aristocratic woman can even decorate a rococo-style bedroom for a queen who has fallen out of favor.

  How much the queen should thank her for robbing her husband and diverting the attention of her rivals. Louis XV’s young mistresses also attacked Madame Pompadour instead of the queen if they wanted to provoke.

  The awkward scene made the smirk on her face almost unsustainable.

  "You can use Transfiguration to deal with it first." Voldemort reminded, "When you return to the UK, remember to buy a set."

   "We just moved here." Severus said coldly, "A lot of things have not been opened. Let's drink it next time."

  Severus’ words were rude, but Pomona wanted to kiss him.

  Yes, who told that reckless woman to come by herself uninvited!

   "I'm sorry." Pomona looked at Nadia apologetically.

  At the same time, she secretly made up her mind to find Naxisha Malfoy to blackmail a set of top porcelain as a wedding gift.

   "It doesn't matter, you can drink tea even if you don't need good porcelain." Nadia said cheerfully.

  This bitch!

  Pomona resisted the urge to strangle her and returned to the kitchen, when the elf Kliche appeared.

   "Mistress, we don't have any porcelain to serve guests," it said.

   "I know!" She said bitterly. She usually uses mugs and ordinary white porcelain plates. Who would have thought that there would be such a time.

   "Mistress Black has a set of Wedgwood porcelain."

   "Oh, awesome, but I think it belongs to Ginny." She walked around the restaurant angrily.

"Kliche is hiding them." Kliche said, rubbing his paws. "Mistress Black told her before she died that her porcelain should not be left to Master Sirius even if she fell. Kliche kept a set without authorization. "

   "Where are they now?"

   Kliche took out a box, Pomona took it, and contained a complete set of Wedgwood porcelain.

  "When did you bring it with you?" Pomona asked.

   "Just before you went back to the UK the last time."

  Pomona hesitated, she didn't want to entertain Nadia with such good porcelain.

   "Don't dawdle." Voldemort urged impatiently.

  She finally returned to the living room with the strawberry cake baked in the morning and a pot of steaming "Queen Black Tea".

  Severus and Nadia sat face to face on the sofa. No one spoke. The atmosphere looked a bit tense, and it was a light-year away from "a pleasant afternoon".

   "Oh, you found it." Nadia said cheerfully.

   "What did you find?"

  "Porcelain."

  Pomona chuckled dryly, put down the tea and cake and sat next to Severus.

   "Well, delicious tea." Nadia picked up the tea cup and sniffed.

   "Aren't you afraid of our poison?" Severus said with a sinister smile.

   "I'm here to make friends, why are you poisoning me?"

   "Hahaha, he's joking." Pomona laughed and patted Severus's hand. "This is where he is humorous."

   "Really? Honey?" Severus gritted his teeth and smirked.

   "You British humor is really strange." Nadia took a sip of tea. "Well, it's really good tea."

   "Thank you." Pomona said politely, and then thought about how to lead the topic in the direction of the information she wanted.

   "I heard that this place was once occupied by a monster." Severus asked directly, "and was killed by a Muggle army."

   "How did you know?" Nadia asked.

  "I asked the locals." Severus copied his hands and leaned on the back of the sofa. "It happened during the War of the Spanish Succession. Is he true?"

   "How about the real? How about the fake?" Nadia asked quietly.

   "We are taking our children. If this area is dangerous, we must pay more attention."

   "How about moving away?" Nadia asked.

   "We just cleaned up this house. Besides, didn't you live in the village and didn't move?" Severus continued to smile maliciously. "We moved away. How are you going to live in?"

   "How about a piece of cake?" Pomona pushed the strawberry cake in front of Nadia.

"This place always attracts monsters. The previous monsters are gone, but there is a big dwarf monster. Your place has been attacked by her offspring." Nadia smiled and said, "Have you heard of Golden Fleece? ?"

   "Jason's Golden Fleece?" Severus asked.

"There is also the Knights of the Golden Fleece of Philip III. He is the Duke of Burgundy, but he hopes that he can be the real king. Jason will be able to ascend the throne if he finds the Golden Fleece. Why can't Philip III? Especially in France at that time. The royal family is far less wealthy than him. To become a Golden Fleece Knight means to accept the sovereignty of the Grand Duke of Burgundy and not to join other similar knights. Therefore, the Golden Fleece Knight Order quickly became the most noble position among the various knight orders in Europe."

   "What does this have to do with our conversation?" Severus asked.

"Charlie V inherited the title of Grand Duke of Burgundy, marking the official incorporation of the Duchy of Burgundy into the Holy Roman Empire. The sovereignty of the Knights of the Golden Fleece was also transferred to the Holy Roman Emperor. After Charles V's death, the Golden Fleece The lordship of the Knights was transferred to its son Philip II and his descendants, that is, the Habsburg dynasty of Spain, after the death of the last monarch of the Habsburg dynasty of Spain, the Habsburg dynasty of Austria and the Bourbon dynasty of Spain Both claim to have sovereignty over the Knights of the Golden Fleece, and eventually the two sides will award the medal. However, no matter how the sovereignty of the Knights changes, the certificate is always written in French, just like the one written on the wall, Lediableestmort, The devil is dead." Nadia put a smile away, "You restored that wall?"

   "So what?" Severus sneered.

   "The one who led the reinforcements was a Golden Fleece knight." Nadia continued, "It's just that his medal was withdrawn after that battle."

   "I knew this place was interesting." Severus said excitedly, "It's much more interesting than home and school, right?"

  Felix immediately nodded in cooperation.

  "Leave them alone." Pomona said exhaustedly, "Sometimes I think I'm carrying two children."

  Nadia was stunned.

"After the end of the Mycenaean civilization, the Greek civilization entered the dark age. Because of the lack of information, it could only be based on Homer’s epic. Therefore, it was called the Homer’s era. From the promulgation of the International Secrecy Law in 1692 to 1707. History is also chaotic, and this is the subject of our research." Pomona babbled. "At that time, there were many overlaps in the history of wizards and Muggles. In fact, before the promulgation of the international secrecy law, the wizards and the Muggle nobles The relationship is still very close. There are wizards and even the king’s advisers. We want to figure out what caused the current situation."

   "Oh." Nadia said in surprise.

  "The air in the Alps is very good. It is great to watch the stars at night." Pomona also took a sip of tea.

   "Miss, I'm not married yet."

  "Are you still married?" Pomona was a little surprised.

   "It's not that everyone is as lucky as you, Mrs. Smith." Nadia said with irritation, "How did you meet?"

   "School." Severus said immediately, "Did you meet the right person in school?"

   "I have never been to school." Nadia said blankly, "I am educated at home."

   "But your nephew..."

   "I don't want him to miss a lot of things like me." Nadia interrupted Pomona staring at the "Smiths" and said, "I feel even more now that I made the right decision."

The "Knights of the Golden Fleece" was founded in 1430 with the inspiration of the "Knights of the Garter". It is the garter used by ladies. When a countess danced, the garter accidentally fell off, revealing her white legs. . The scene was very embarrassing for a time, and some people even made contemptuous laughter. At this time, King Edward III of England calmly picked up the blue garter and tied it to his knee to help the countess relieve the siege. This "chivalry" action has been praised by people, and the "garter knights" is named after it, which implies an inclusive gentleman spirit.
