Chapter 2295 scarletwoman (nine)

   There is a grilled eel on the table of the fresco "The Last Supper" painted by Leonardo da Vinci. According to the requirements of fasting at that time, it should not appear on the table of the apostles.

  No one remembers this after secularization, and because of the change in people's diet, many fishing cities began to decline, or they were transformed into trading cities like Amsterdam.

  If there is a custom of fasting, then you can ask all guests to refrain from drinking and eating at this time, but the problem is that even if there is a fast, there must be a reason, and it is not a fasting period now.

   At this moment, Father Gregoire walked towards Georgiana.

   "I heard you are going to see the Archbishop of Mechelen tomorrow?" Gregoire asked.

   "Is this a bad idea?" asked Georgiana, terrified.

  Gregoire thought for a moment, "Have you seen the "Special Appointment for Academic Affairs"?"

"Yes."

   "Then did you know that the Diocese of Aachen was also divided into Mechelen."

  Georgianna recalled.

The Archdiocese of Cologne and the Archdiocese of Mainz straddle the Rhine River. When the land on the left bank of the Rhine fell into the hands of the French, these dioceses were also taken away together, and no longer belonged to the "Papal Boundary Edict". in the demarcated area.

   There is also the whole of Liege, but they are all divided into Mechelen, which she did not expect.

   "Archbishop Roquerol is 80 years old this year, and his memory is sometimes not good. He can't remember what happened during the Great Revolution." Gregoire said.

  Georgina is "digesting" what Gregoire said.

   "Do you think judges should support equality and justice?" Gregova asked again.

   "Of course not," said Georgiana at once.

"Mechelen has been the seat of the Supreme Court since the 16th century, there are people who are willing to accept 'equality' despite their refusal to be on an equal footing with others. The majority of the people in Ghent are pro-Revolutionary, and you can run a sugar factory there. easy to succeed."

  Georgianna was puzzled again. The reaction of the Ghent people seemed less enthusiastic than the people in St. Nicholas.

"Mechelen's cathedral clergy sent a petition to Brussels because the French generals had seized the church documents, which were shipped to Brussels along with books from the Leuven Seminary library. Give them back the replica? Like you did in Paris." Gregois asked again.

  Georgiana thought and thought, maybe because she was really old and didn't fully understand what Gregova meant.

   "Does it need to be translated into French?" she asked subconsciously.

   Gregoire smiled.

   "If you have plans for this, I can accompany you to see the Archbishop tomorrow."

   She felt that someone must be angry about it.

   She didn't feel it before, but she kept a copy of the book from the church library in the French library. Thanks to Napoleon, he signed the "Agreement on Academic Affairs" to reconcile with the Holy See. Changing a leader may not necessarily allow her to be so "nonsense".

  The Directorate was planning to destroy the Papal State. Napoleon did not follow orders like Jourdan, but took a lot of artworks back. She remembered reading the newspaper clippings of the Paris Commune in the French library. When the Franco-Prussian War broke out in 1870, the French troops stationed in Rome were withdrawn, and the Italian king took the opportunity to attack the Papal State under the pretext of "protecting the Pope". At that time, King Ludwig II of Bavaria was watching a play in the theater. There was an actress who performed a play. She could not remember what she was playing.

The    king smiled noncommittally, and the Papal State was finally taken over by Italy in a non-peaceful way.

  The Kingdom of Bavaria is the second state within the Holy Roman Empire after Austria and Prussia. Prussia took this opportunity to expand its territory. Wouldn’t Bavaria take action?

   Gregoire mentioned Ghent just now. The nieces of the Archbishop of Ghent have all received annuities, but the benefits are not just money.

   Just returned the books to them, but did not restore the school. On the surface, it seemed that the problem was not serious, but she remembered that there were groups with secret missionaries, and the problem of secret associations was as serious as the problem.

  The University of Rouen has not been reopened, and she probably will never forget the university built in the cemetery for the rest of her life.

  The Carroll brothers and sisters are not very smart. If Voldemort is the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, he will change his way to instill his point of view in the children who are not in the world.

  The descendant of John of Gaunt, the Duke of Lancaster, and Salazar Slytherin, is actually the **** son of a Muggle, and still the unrecognized kind.

   This is something she didn't expect. It was Ghent, the former Gaunt, who signed the contract with them first.

   "I'll think about it," said Georgiana to Gregoire.

   He fixed his eyes on her.

"What's the problem?"

   "Do you know what someone else would have said about your answer just now?" Gregoire said, "He would agree immediately, although he may break the contract 'later' due to various concerns."

   "That's not me," replied Georgiana.

   "I know that some people hate tithing, and some people even hate the feeling of being cheated. Last year, Paris was also brutally treated by grenadiers, and many people were caught on the street and forced to be vaccinated."

   "That was not my order," said Georgiana.

"I know it wasn't an order from you, or even an order from the first government. People hate the feeling of being deceived. No one can stop that kind of anger. This is to exchange their reputation for the clanking coins to pay. price."

   She thought of Judas, who chose betrayal for 30 silver coins, and he clung to that pocket at the table of The Last Supper.

   But later he regretted it and hanged himself on a tree outside Jerusalem, while the thirty silver coins were still kept. Later, they were picked up and handed over to the chief priest.

  The chief priest said, don't put the 30 silver coins in the holy treasury, so they used the money to buy a piece of land from the potter, how did the potter spend the money of the seller?

   In fact, there is another way to get those present to fast, that is, as Christ said before he was betrayed, "Didn't I choose your twelve disciples? But one of you is the devil."

   But if Georgiana really said that, she would probably be regarded as a lunatic. When people don’t believe in God, they don’t even believe in the devil, as well as heaven and hell.

  If there really is a forest of suicides described by Dante in hell, then one of the trees must be Judas, because the builder of Florence also erected a gallows in his home to hang himself in the ring.

   And this place is not the deepest part of hell, but the second largest circle of hell.

  Fear, it makes people shy away from the upright cause, like a cowardly beast, when it hears the wind, it runs away in fright.

   It's just that although this forest is next to the hot sand desert, the sound of the wind is not echoing in the forest.

  The forest is full of strange birds, Hapi, who use this thorny bush as a habitat.

   They who drove the Trojans out of Strofades now wailed with elegy and prophesied misfortune.

And those who became trees, whose souls were thrown like wheat seeds by the gods of fate, and where they were sown sprouted and took root, and grew into a tree full of poisonous thorns, and at last the harpies fed on their leaves , they wailed in pain every time they plucked a leaf.

   "Tell me what you're thinking?" Gregoire asked.

   She didn't really want to pay attention to him. He made her feel very uncomfortable now. Fortunately, Bonaparte returned at this time. She immediately ran over and hid behind him.

   "What are you talking about with the priest?" he asked with a smile.

   "What are you doing?" Georgiana asked coquettishly.

   "Autopsy the corpse." He said calmly, "The man did die of poison, but not by poison."

"what?"

   "Andre has taken too much opium, and not everyone is so greedy and wants to secretly taste other people's wine."

   She was frightened by the coldness in his mouth.

   At the same time, she looked at his hands, which were still clean, and could not see that he had just dissected a person.

   That waiter just fell down. If he was sent to the doctor in time in the 20th century, he might have been rescued.

   She was shivering all over, and it was hard for her to imagine how people in the dissection theater would cheer enthusiastically when they saw a icy corpse.

   "I don't want to continue this party." Georgiana said, "Can it end early?"

   "Are you tired?" asked Bonaparte, looking at her.

   "Yes." She replied immediately "I have to see the Archbishop tomorrow."

"you alone?"

   "Father Gregoire said to come with me."

   "I'll accompany you tomorrow." He took her hand and said, "Did you bring your sword?"

   "What... oh, I have to ask." She frowned and said, "What is wearing a sword?"

   "Have you made a knight?" asked Bonaparte.

   "You mean putting a sword on someone else's shoulder and saying 'I grant it to you'?" Georgiana smiled and said, "I've seen it."

   In the movie, she added in her mind.

   "Does this custom still exist in England?" asked Bonaparte.

   She reacted.

   "You asked me to be knighted?" Georgiana pointed to her nose and almost raised her voice.

   "Looks like you finally understand what I said." He teased.

   "I... no..., what century do we live in? I can't be knighted like a feudal noble."

   "I can say yes."

   She stomped her feet, she couldn't communicate with this "ancient man", and then she turned to find someone who could answer her questions.
