Chapter 1132 "General"

  After the end of the First World War, although Britain and France were coalition forces, the relationship between the British Ministry of Magic and France became ill.

  At that time, the British Ministry of Magic sent Aurors to the world to try to capture Grindelwald, as if they were questioning the capabilities of other countries.

  It was Henry Potter who called the wizards to participate in the First World War. It was also the British who planned to capture Grindelwald, the madman who planned to rule the world.

  French wizards are different from Muggles. The response to the British Ministry of Magic is that all wizards sent without the consent of the French will be expelled from the country.

  Newt Scamander's incident in New York made it difficult for him to enter the whitelist. For this reason, he had to smuggle into France. It is precisely because of his smuggling behavior that he was wanted by the French Ministry of Magic.

  Now there is no curse on the border between Britain and France, so it can sense whether a wizard has entered the country illegally. After all, Britain is now a member of the European Union.

  There is an underground wine cellar in the manor. There is a sculpture at the entrance. It is probably a young nobleman standing holding a scepter. The obsidian on the top of the scepter is the key to the door.

  Using this door key, Pomona and Severus returned to their apartment in South Kensington.

  With this thing, Pomona no longer needs to live in this mansion where Lucius used to arrange his mistress.

  It happens to be Father’s Day today, and she wants to give a good gift to that "good dad".

  British Muggles are following the French way. Except for London, other cities are becoming more and more depressed. Just like France, all cities except Paris are rural.

  Although Marseille and Lyon are also big cities, they are indeed far behind the capital of Paris.

  This seems to be a good thing. Bureaucrats can see the bustling metropolis and there are people everywhere.

  But it was precisely because a large number of proletariat gathered around the capital that when the Great Revolution broke out, so many civilians suddenly became "revolutionaries".

  Nevertheless those "sleeveless guys" are jealous of the luxurious life of the nobility, but because they fear the law and the king's majesty, they dare not act.

  After the Bastille was captured in the chaos, their courage became stronger, and they dared to do things that they usually wanted to do but did not dare to do. Coupled with the defection of a part of the army, the rate of destruction of the French king is even more devastating.

  Once suppressed emotions erupt, there is no way to stop them, and no one will ever question the nature of the French Revolution.

  The theory of monarchy once wrote that to control a place, do not control the poor, but to win over those who hold land, wealth, and power. Those poor people have nothing, no money to buy armor and arrows, and relying on grass rakes, they can't beat the heavily armed soldiers.

  Although the chivalry class in Europe does not have the privilege of being able to execute civilians at will, it has always been a symbol of "Glory" in the countryside and castles.

  A nobleman with military power can ignore the church and take down the church bell. The monastery becomes his residence and headquarters. The rules of not entering the church with weapons can be completely ignored.

However, if he wants to "legally" wear the crown, he needs the approval of the Holy See. Peping's father, Charlie Hammer, was formerly the magistrate of the Merovingian royal family. Later, his grandson used the "sovereign power" to steal the crown and cross it. After the blood inheritance and the ditch between "subordinates" and "monarchs", "legally obtained" became the king of France.

This is similar to China’s renunciation system. The previous dynasty was overthrown by the royal family because of its lack of virtue. The judicial duel system, which seemed to be based on the core logic of the weak, was promoted because people believed that God would not let innocent people lose. Out of a duel.

  When human beings’ ability to discover the truth is extremely limited, most disputes need to be decided through experience; and when experience is not enough to distinguish between truth and falsehood, people can only place their hopes on the gods. Obtaining oracles through various religious methods to distinguish right from wrong is the divine judgment.

  Since God directs the war of the country, it can also ensure that the truth-teller wins the duel even in private disputes.

It is undoubtedly "stupid" to measure right from wrong with strength, but in the special context of the times, judicial duels have incomparable superiority. People will not worry that judicial officers will choose to make a ruling in favor of a certain party because of their favoritism. There is also no need to be afraid that the guilty party will easily escape punishment because of hiring an experienced lawyer.

  People who have done bad things will always have a guilty conscience and lose 10% in the face of the popularity without any fear in their hearts. Duel is the best way to avoid perjury and corruption. A duel is a contest of life and death. In the face of honor and life, all the exquisite rules will disappear.

  If you are not good at martial arts, or if you are too proud of yourself, you will lose your life.

  Europe in the 15th century can be described as "all people can duel", and even women can duel with men, as long as they are not afraid of losing.

   Pomona wondered if she could find Lucius Malfoy who was "crimped" to practice.

  He was negligent in practice. He was better at playing money and politics than a magic wand, and he became more and more like a Muggle.

  But she gave up the idea after thinking about it in her mind. She was giving gifts, not embarrassing. If he couldn't win even a woman, then he might yawn her behind his back.

  France almost conquered the entire Europe by force, while Austria obtained the succession rights of several European powers through blood. The Spanish Throne War broke out because the heirs of the Habsburg family died out.

  His relative is dead, not everyone will be as sad as Albus Dumbledore.

   "I'll go back to Hogwarts." She said to Severus before entering the apartment.

   "What are you doing there?" he asked, staring at her.

   "I don't know, I think there is something very important that I forgot." She murmured.

   "There is an exam over there, Minerva will be very busy, there should be no time to talk to you."

   "I know." She said confusedly, "Time flies so fast, the investigator from the International Federation of Wizards should be here."

   "What are you thinking?" Severus stared at her.

   "It's a feeling." She scratched her head and said, "I must go back to school."

   "I will go with you." He left the apartment.

"Your job."

   "You have to trust Lucius."

  Pomona looked at him suspiciously.

   "What he lacks is a bit of luck." Severus defended Lucius.

"Do you know that Lucius has a woman out there?" Pomona looked at the platinum aristocrat's friend. "You never thought. Lucius didn't reply to Draco's letter on Father's Day because he was with his mistress. ?"

   "No!" He denied it.

  Pomona narrowed her eyes.

  He answered too quickly, obviously because of a guilty conscience.

   "He won't." Severus explained in vain.

   "It's luck that you guessed that he went to the Ministry of Magic that day." She pretended to believe him "or else the Dark Lord has already got the prophecy ball and Harry."

  "Are you going back to Hogwarts?" He began to change the subject.

   "Today is Sunday... Is there an exam today?"

   "This is only known when I go."

  He took her to the elevator, because the apartment had cast an Anti-Phantom Shifting Curse, which was the only way to leave the top floor.

  This again made her want to go to the principal's office at Hogwarts. Only through the drip beast can she reach the top of the principal's office tower.

  When the elevator began to slowly descend, she saw an old wizard standing next to the sculpture at the door.

  Unfortunately, the elevator sank into the next floor in the next moment, and she couldn't tell if it was her own illusion.

   "It's strange, why do I keep seeing Dumbledore today?" She tilted her head and said in confusion.

   "Because you are crazy." Severus said bitterly.

  Pomona beat him hard.

   is "solid", it seems that she is a little bit short of going crazy.
