Chapter 1849 Witch Club (25)

  Let us go back in time.

Henry VI was the last king of the Lancaster family. He came to the throne nine months after his birth. When his maternal grandfather Charles VI of France died, according to the Treaty of Troyes signed between Henry V and Charles VI, The British almost unilaterally declared that he was the King of France. His two uncles were regents in England and France, Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester in England, and John, Duke of Bedford in France.

  Henry VI was not a wayward person like Caligula, but people still thought he was too weak. The important ministers around the king often quarreled in dignity, and the content of their quarrels was related to the deterioration of French rule.

His father Henry V was nicknamed the Hammer of the Gauls. The Hundred Years’ War between England and France was not always going on. There were three "intermissions". The third "intermission" was in the period of Henry IV. Shakespeare was The book he wrote condemned because his rule was fruitless, he was troubled by rebellious nobles and sick body, and lacked the chivalry adjectives of talent and energy.

After Henry V succeeded to the throne, the war reignited. At this time, it was the turn of France to have infighting. During the Battle of Agincourt, under the command of Henry V, the British army mainly composed of infantry archers defeated a large number of elite French nobles. The troops laid the foundation for the subsequent capture of Normandy in 1419.

Although many people regarded this battle as the most glorious victory of the British longbowmen, it also had a profound impact on the tactics of later wars that rely on the range of fire to kill the opponent's intensive formation, but the battle of Agincourt was played for a long time before it took place. In the rain, farmland turned over by farmers is near the battlefield. This soft soil is not suitable for heavy cavalry to charge. Coupled with the weight of knights and horses in heavy armor, horses hoofs will not be able to be pulled out if they get stuck.

Henry V chose a terrain that was good for longbowmen, and he also made a bet with the French captives. The British could kill them now, but if they were willing to bet, they would get complete after the French won. Freedom, the captives cannot resist until the winner is determined.

  The British, who are already a small number of people, would be even more inadequate at this time if some people were assigned to guard the prisoners. Although this is sometimes seen, a soldier guards a battalion of prisoners, but the risk is still too great.

These prisoners of war chose to be witnesses of the Battle of Agincourt, seeing the French noble knights falling into the mud like cans and being harvested by British longbowmen. At this time, the "blue blood" flowing out of the nobles looked like ordinary people. Blood is no different.

  Absolute monarchy allows some people to develop perfect servility, and can do everything to please the monarch. Lestrange didn't give Bella to the Gaunt family's hybrid, Bella abandoned him and chose the Dark Lord. It would be ridiculous in the eyes of outsiders, but some people think it is normal, because these pure-blooded nobles who are willing to live and kill Muggles are in a submissive and dominated position. Later Napoleon Bonaparte also liked this kind of easy-to-control and more obedient person. The position of the cardinal was given as a gift to the patrons around him and the old aristocrats who used to be regulars of Versailles. In his words "Only they know how to provide the best service."

  There will be beef, lamb, and cakes at the Witch Fair, but these seemingly rich foods are all without salt.

Not only is salt considered to have an exorcism effect, but animals also need salt. Goats will climb up the hillside to lick the salt from the rocks. The salt has penetrated into their blood and muscles. If the diners taste it carefully, it will Taste it.

  This is a devil worship ceremony. If you want to eat good food, you can go to a restaurant. What is the purpose of people participating in this ceremony? Immortal, vampire, isn't it? If you want to taste the salty and sweet taste, then focus on imagining that you are eating raw meat with blood. Of course, some people will find it disgusting. If you dislike it, you can go to the church to eat the sacrament and wine. The wine is full of With a sweet fruity fragrance.

  You can try your own "First Blood", maybe because of a fight, or a violent kiss that caused your lips to be bitten. What does the blood taste like?

  If, as verified by wizarding historians, Lisette de Lapin was a consultant to Henry VI, then she might have seen Joan during her service at the French court.

It is precisely because this young girl has lost all the achievements gained during the Hundred Years' War in Britain, and almost lost all the territory in France. During his illness, Henry VI made the Duke of York, the Duke of York, regent. The Lancaster family was unable to do so. Tolerate, because the Duke of York requested the right to inherit the throne, and then the Lancaster family relied on the support of the Northwest Feudal Lord to abolish the regency, and the War of the Roses began.

  Muggle-like little wizards may have superhuman powers, but most of them are Muggle civilians. They have been in contact with ordinary people since they were young, and they don’t know that someone is watching something that shouldn’t belong to them.

Muggles are very fascinated by supernatural phenomena. The church has also relied on "miracles" to gain believers for a while. Pepin used the monarchy to obtain the crown legally. Later, when he was preparing for the church for the enthronement, the coffin of a priest could not be lifted. Then someone took advantage of this opportunity to obtain the right to rule a large piece of land.

  They like supernatural phenomena and hope that they can also master them. Weather weapons are also developed for this purpose. It will make people feel that what the opponent has given is a divine punishment.

However, it is unpleasant for the real "divine punishment" to come to oneself. Whether it is eternal life or the climate, Muggles are using existing technology to pursue them. Some methods are even unthinkable and annihilating, but for those who have been self-deified. There is no burden at all for people. When they found that vampires could not "transform" themselves through "first embrace", they gave up vampires, just as they knew that God could not keep themselves invincible and would be killed by the Black Death whether they were pious or not. of.

Compared to serving, they are better at squeezing. Gods get everything on the ground at will. They scare children to cry and extract the "nutrients" from their blood. Conscience doesn’t matter to them, the only thing they need to worry about is. Is not caught.

It worked, the woman’s skin became tender and the man’s energy energized again, those little wizards in "heaven" would not believe it, this must be the Muggle slander of the pure blood, brothers and sisters Carlo said None of the stories are so absurd and scary.

Georgiana dared to slap Bonaparte. It sounds like a dream, but many people have seen it. After he was beaten, he was not serious and angry. Instead, he had a relaxed smirk. People don't think he is funny. , He feels even more dangerous.

It is easy for the crowd to chase the illusion. The gold rush has brought prosperity to the west, but in Peru, people should know that if a person intends to engage in silver mining, people will stay away from him. Mining in Peru is like buying a lottery. There will be bankruptcy. Few people win the lottery and many people who do not. And those few big prizes lure more adventurers to make fruitless attempts and lose all their property.

  People will choose what they want to believe. Many people know gold, but isn’t there a fool’s gold in this world?

  Financiers are also magicians. Gabriel Ufrall’s financial magic is certainly not believed by some people, just as some people believe that the South China Sea Company on the King’s Platform must not lie.

  This plan is too bold and surpasses people’s imagination, but there is a premise that the Spanish royal family will not fall, and the environment will remain peaceful.

  In history, the unilateral tearing up of the peace agreement was not once or twice. In fact, the "Amiens Contract" was also the first to be torn up by the British side.

  If you think about it in another direction, this is also an invasion launched by Napoleon, but it is different from previous military invasions. Compared with the losses caused by the **** suppression caused by the famine riots, he may lose a little bit when he spends money on food, but the money did not fall out of thin air. The looting of Portuguese spoils and war reparations made up for the loss of the national treasury. He has always He is a budget-conscious bastard.

  In 1802, the recruitment of new recruits was stopped. Instead, some veterans were allowed to serve again. Although repairing the canal is a job, these homeless people would not think dredging was a bad thing. They were destined to "sleep on the battlefield."

  Everyone has their own social role, which not only makes people feel at ease but also feels of belonging. When a person has a strong sense of honor for the profession he is engaged in, he is reluctant to take off his clothes.

  Retirement is tantamount to depriving a person of his social role. He is no longer a soldier.

If the Thracian sees a heavily armed marine fish fighter, or a longbowman sees his whole body covered in armor, as if there is no arrow to shoot through, the noble knight rises up with the invincible idea of ​​the opponent, then he loses deal.

  Light armor represents danger and is also more flexible. You can kill the opponent in any mediocre way at any time.

  With such a stimulating life, who wants to return to mediocrity, discussing the curtain color with a woman for a long time?

   Bonaparte promised to give the Egyptian Expeditionary Army a piece of land. Originally, he planned to be Italian. Later, he sent them to Bruges. The port in that place was unusable because of the silt, but it was cleared out and it was still a very good commercial port.

   is that its location is a bit special. It is almost in the same dimension as London, with only a Strait of Dover in between.

  If the rabbit travels across the ocean in the cauldron, it will choose Calais. It is the closest to the opposite, but the purpose of human inventing the ship is to avoid this situation.

Some people say that using a wooden stick to stick Napoleon’s gray military coat and three-cornered hat on the shore will allow the whole of Europe to enter war preparations. After the First World War, Britain is permeated with a pacifist atmosphere. From party leaders to civilians, they believe that there will be no more in the future. There is a cruel war, so he advocates disarmament. Churchill is one of the very few people in the parliament who opposes disarmament and warns of German threats. The dictator will bring disaster to Europe. He urged Britain to reorganize its armaments instead of "cutting your weapons." , Increase your obligations".

  After the Amiens peace treaty was signed, the British civilians cheered for joy. Public opinion hopes for peace. The king, as the ruler, must also rule according to the direction of public opinion.

  George III wrote a letter to the King of Spain, saying that Britain was not sleeping soundly.

  What's the point of a madman's words?

  Keeping secrets is the biggest difficulty of all difficulties. How to mobilize the army so that a large number of British and Austrian spies do not know about it? The method that the first ruling power came up with was for him to expose this secret himself. He wanted to make himself the object of ridicule and let the enemy treat his deliberately exaggerated statement as a slanderous trick.

  It's embarrassing to be beaten by a woman, right? Try to laugh at him, the last poet who laughed at him as a chameleon has been put in a lunatic asylum.

The death and rebirth of a social spirit is like the death and rebirth of a person’s spirit. It is not just a radical transformation of ideas and behaviors, nor is it just a major transformation of ideology and politics. It transcends the belief system and the system of order and justice. -Law and religion.

It transcends the past, showing a new heaven and a new world, similar to the kind of "epiphany" that the Buddha experienced in the process of rejecting the past and becoming a monk. The Christian Revelation makes it possible for the entire group and the entire society to experience it. This process of despair and epiphany.

  Either Eastern individual mysticism or Western social practicalism is the key to opening a new era, but the former is too close to fanaticism, while the latter is too close to extreme legalism.

There is a saying that Lilith’s blood is to destroy the old god’s creation, and regain a new form after human beings endure the pain of death. Just like the abolition of the feudal system to a new social order, the nobles feel that they are in pain. The victims, but the peasants don’t feel that they have been liberated.

If the French navy before the Revolution still had combat power, then the navy after the restoration would be gone. The nobles abandoned civilian soldiers and let them fend for themselves on the Medusa raft, and the army became a foreign mercenary. It is impossible to restore the old system.

  Dance is religious, and there will be many people watching. The dances performed by witches can actually be seen in the countryside. Round dance is also a basic feature of the sorcerer society.

  The high priest will show complex and strange dance movements, similar to belly dancers, dexterous and extraordinary, seemingly full of temptation, but actually full of control of his own muscles and strength.

The sacred dance is a means of turning vulgarity into nobleness and turning evil into devotion. When the priests dance, others hold blue candles and sing in a circle. The candle emits this light because it contains sulfur. It will produce a pungent smell, just like that emitted in hell.

  Sometimes there will be a sudden gust of wind blowing out all the candles. These people will not feel scared, but will shout "choose me" in joy.

  This kind of ritual is often carried out at night. It must end when the day breaks or the rooster crows. It is an old tradition to stop the cock. At this time, the clergy and devout believers have already begun morning prayers and singing hymns.

  It is precisely because of this that the rooster will be erected on the steeple of the church, similar to the rooster weather vane on the top of the tower of Notre Dame de Paris.

The weather vane on the roof is a sign of the nobles. During the Revolution, the weather vanes in many noble houses were demolished, but it is strange that the weather vane of Notre Dame de Paris was not touched. The sacred objects hidden in the weather vane by the monks were also preserved. , Including the bones of Renavyev and the crown of thorns.

  Rose not only has delicate flowers, but also sharp spikes, just like thorns. It hurts to be entangled with its vines, but some people just like thorny roses.

  Rene Violet, this is another name for Giorgio Anna, it is taken from a kind of purple rose, which means Violet Queen.

  Elagabalus was a Roman emperor with a very short rule. He grew up in the court of the East and brought extravagance into the court.

  One day he held a banquet in the palace. After the guests were seated, he ordered the servant to loosen the baffle on the ceiling, so that the violet petals above poured down, and the guests below were buried alive by the petals.

  This is a different way of killing people from Caligula. It's less bloody, but the essence is the same.

Not long after the birth of Otense’s child on October 10, Bonaparte went on a business trip to Brittany, and by the way, he went to Belgium, and came back a month later. At that time, it was the Violet Queen who accompanied him. He also adopted Polina Bonaparte’s son Del Mead. Napoleon was the godfather of Otense’s son and Del Mead’s godfather. So people are worried, are there too many purple roses in Paris?

  Lucius blew a frivolous whistle, "I began to understand why the White Wizard had to lock her up."

   Severus said nothing.

Bonaparte’s shots are all generous. He gave Giorgioanna a manor, formerly belonged to the farmer of Mante. Because it was too big, she donated it to a hospital, and also gave a warship named after her, which is Gerero. In addition, he also gave a ring to the serving ship. It was the trophy he brought back from Egypt. Bey’s wife exchanged half of her husband’s wealth with it. It is said to be a very precious magic ring.

In the story, the Muggle king was deceived by swindlers. John, the Duke of Bedford, died in 1435, and Nick Lemay theoretically died in 1427. Later generations did not find the body after digging up his grave, and then people just Said that he used the Philosopher's Stone to live forever.

Pursuing the sage’s stone will bring bad luck, but the alchemy in Paris flourished because of him, and the chemistry in France was also very developed. Even if the United Kingdom blocked the export of saltpeter, it still found the raw material for making gunpowder from animal excrement. .

   "Boom~"

  At this moment, a bell rang outside the window, the sound of a church bell.

   "How do you ring the bell at night?" Lucius asked.

   "I don't know." Severus said, "I'll go and see."

  After speaking, he apparated.
