Chapter 3011 The ghost in the distance (16)

  Severus had leaves of many plants in his private collection, but Pomona didn't know if he had tea, after all, he rarely entertained guests and didn't like tea, but he had a few bottles of wine.

   But since they are going to discuss legal issues, it is best to keep their heads clear. Just when she came to the door, she heard a sound, so she followed the sound and walked over, and found that it was coming from the tank where the leeches were kept.

  She really thought that thing was ugly, but luckily she did well in school and was not locked up by Slughorn or held grudges, and had to squeeze the juice out of the leeches.

   The sound was made by a "jailbroken" leech that just landed on an upside-down bowl. It looks different from other leeches, and it is also bigger, so it makes a "dong" sound.

   There was a brown bottle of potion next to the upside-down bowl, and Pomona picked it up subconsciously.

   "Don't touch it!" A hand snatched the medicine bottle from her hand.

   "When you don't know what's inside." The owner of the hand said viciously.

   "What's in there?" Pomona asked.

  Severus looked at her coldly, condescendingly.

   "That thing is going to run away, why don't you put it back?" Pomona said, pointing at the leech.

   "You can put it back," he said in a greasy voice.

   "Ew~~~" Pomona showed a disgusted expression.

   "It's also in your Polyjuice Potion..."

   "Shut up!" Pomona covered her ears.

  He smiled contemptuously, and threw the leech that wriggled faster when he heard the movement back into the tank.

   "This is the Confusion Potion." Severus held up the vial and said, "It has the same effect as the Confusion Charm, the difference is that it can last for several hours."

   "What are you cooking this for?" Pomona grumbled.

   "I've got some spare Soundbird feathers to experiment with." Severus looked at her. "The older the leech, the better the confusion, like the one just now."

   "Stupid old vampire." Pomona sneered.

  He didn't laugh at it.

   "Did you know that the Pope ordered Edward II to arrest the Templars in England?" Pomona said.

   "What?" he asked in surprise.

   "But the king didn't want to carry out the pope's order that much, so the pope wrote him a warning." Pomona said.

   "How do you know?" Severus asked.

"I read the files. Before the king ordered them to be arrested, he secretly notified them. Most of them fled to Scotland, but Scotland is not completely safe. Some areas still followed the Pope's order to arrest them." "They felt that to do otherwise would show a preference for heresy, as the pope said, and put souls at risk," Pomona said.

   "Why are these materials in the files of the wizard's court?" Severus asked.

   "I don't know, that person just recorded it, maybe he hoped that people in the future can understand what happened that year." Pomona said, "And why didn't the Pope ask for arbitration when the Hundred Years War broke out like Spain and Portugal did."

  Severus suddenly realized, and then fell into thought.

  The Hundred Years' War took place from 1337 to 1453.

  The Prisoner of Avignon took place from 1309 to 1370.

   Originally, Pomona never thought of linking the two things together.

   "Why did Edward II reject the pope's order?" Severus asked.

   "Maybe because his character is too weak, he is not willing to torture the knights like the Pope said." Pomona said against his will.

  The reason why the Knights Templar was disbanded The heresy judges claimed that they had desecrated the cross and "behavioured licentiousness", and it happened that Edward II was the same kind of people as them. And when the Templars were destroyed, it should be the time when Edward II and his lover fell in love.

   "But he also died of torture," Severus said.

  Pomona shook her head, she didn't want to mention these things.

   "Let's go 'for fun'." Pomona took him by the hand and said, "Seriously, Severus, who would entertain law books like you do?"

  He was obediently led away by her, and only then did she notice that she was holding the hand that was holding the old leech. She felt a little disgusted at first, but quickly got over it.

  It was a warm hand, not a cold leech. Besides, the soil on her body was quite dirty, unlike Narcissa Malfoy, who was cleanly dressed, made up delicately, and sprayed perfume.

  Others don't dislike her, so what does she have to dislike?

   When they returned to the classroom, Pomona found a pot of tea and a cup on the desk.

   She sniffed it closer and found that it was not ordinary black tea or green tea.

   "What kind of leaf is this?" asked Pomona.

   "You're a botanist and have leaves you don't know?" he said wryly.

  Pomona lifted the lid of the teapot and found that the leaves floating in it seemed to be from the locust tree, but it didn't smell like it.

   "It's not poisonous." Pomona asked suspiciously.

   "I'm here, even poison won't kill you." He said coldly.

  Pomona cautiously felt that the tea was best avoided, although he seemed to have no reason to poison her.

==================================================== ========

   There was such a story in ancient Greece.

There was a ship that sank for some reason. Most of the people were dead, but two people survived by chance. One was strong and the other was thin. There was only a plank in front of them, and this plank could only carry the weight of a person.

   Here the philosopher Kana Anders puts forward four hypotheses:

  1. One of them sacrifices himself for others

   2. One of them sacrifices others for himself

  3. Two people give in to each other and die at the same time

  4. Two people fight each other and die at the same time

   There is no doubt that the third and fourth situations are the worst. The first situation is based on a lofty moral foundation. If it is the second situation...

Although it is generally believed that the strong will defeat the weak to grab the plank, but both are on the brink of death, and their lives are under strong threats. In this case, they will explode with amazing potential in order to survive. Driven by instinct, they cannot expect Both sides can keep calm.

  An act of necessity to compete for the chance of survival is a reasonable existence. Although the consequences of the death of another person have a certain connection with it, it does not have a causal relationship in the criminal law, and this act does not constitute a crime.

   This board is named "Kana Anders Board" because of the philosopher's name, and it will be mentioned in some cases of justifiable self-defense, that is, the perpetrator's killing behavior is to survive but has no choice.

Although Trinity does not hold a gun, she has superman-like strength, which is unmatched by ordinary police. Police, this is clearly "unnecessary".

   In addition to necessity, there is also necessity in self-defense. If they take off their uniforms, these police officers have families, they are fathers, sons, brothers.

   But wearing this uniform, they represent public power. It is reasonable for the police to catch criminals, not to mention that Trinity is still a "terrorist". Not only are they allowed to hold guns, but they can also bypass some steps to arrest ordinary criminals, such as aiming at non-lethal parts first and shooting directly at vital parts.

If it is a gunman holding an unloaded gun, rationality can be considered to use violence to subdue it. Hagrid did that when he met Vernon Desley, and directly bent Vernon's shotgun. I remembered that when I fired the gun with the safety on, the bullet was already heading towards the sky.

What's more, Trinity's "enemy" is not the police, but the matrix, which is a behemoth greater than the American public power represented by the police. She cannot be caught, and once caught, she will be "destroyed". Even if her body is not in the "capsule".

   So why is she fighting the Matrix?

  The same question, why do humans pollute the sky and make robots lose power, so that in order to survive, machines create "farms" and humans become "batteries".

  The cops in the matrix don't know this, they think the sky they see is the real sky, even though their eyes are never used.

  Morpheus's ship was named Nebuchadnezzar. Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon who captured Jerusalem. He selected many young and wise people to bring back to Babylon, including Ezekiel.

  In Ezekiel Chapter 7, verse 25: Destruction is near, they ask for peace, but there is no peace.

  Morpheus told Neo that there was a person who created the matrix, and he should destroy it when he came back again.

  Of course, doing so will free humans, but humans who regain their freedom will face a wasteland and a dark sky that even machines don't know how to recover.

  Someone saw the real world, but couldn't face it, and they couldn't go back to the matrix, so they came to a helpless ending.

  Although the world of the matrix is ​​false, human civilization and society still exist, but these are not the "main structure" of the matrix.

  Morpheus and Neo are both standing in a flat blank space. First, we must distinguish between up, down, left, and right. If it is on the earth, it is caused by gravity, but there is no gravity in the matrix world.

  You have to start over, like a newborn baby.

  Children's learning ability and acceptance are stronger than adults, although in the eyes of adults, some of their views are naive.

  Morpheus said that the time in the matrix is ​​1999, which is very close to the millennium.

  After William the Conqueror arrived in England, he promulgated the "Doomsday Book". This does not refer to who's doomsday, but refers to the content recorded in the book as undeniable as the Doomsday Judgment.

  If the matrix is ​​predicted to be destroyed, then all those who stop this process are "villains", and Neo and the others are not terrorists.

  In most movies, the protagonists are good people, but if you remove the aura of the protagonist, think carefully about what these people who want to destroy the matrix and destroy people's false but beautiful life have done.

A family living together in the matrix is ​​actually not physically together. When the Nebuchadnezzar finds Neo, it needs to locate it. Think about those red glowing "trees" that Neo saw for the first time. Which one? Is it your own family?

   For those who reject slavery and imprisonment, liberty is important and worth fighting for, and they can endure a life of hardship. No steaks, no flowers, not even decent clothes, the crew was all in rags, and the food was worse than oatmeal.

  For the grand goal of human survival and freedom, Trinity decided to kill people, even though she knew that the police did not know.

   And as an informed policeman, should I support or oppose them?

   Then back to the first question, why do humans create "machines" and give them the ability to learn?

   Oh, humans didn't teach them to learn, so why are they called artificial intelligence (ai)?

   It is said that it is similar to the way of human intelligence, just like God created human beings in his own image.

   Grindelwald wasn't always right, but he wasn't completely wrong either.

  Pomona took Severus' hand and looked at Trinity on the screen. From the first time she saw Trinity, she could tell that she was not a cold-blooded killer.

   But she had to, and it wasn't for defense.

  She is indeed obsessed with certain things, and she has a different view of the "savior" Neo in the eyes of Morpheus, although he is an ordinary person in the eyes of other members.

  This gives her a paradoxical air, that is, she is smart and like a vase, as if intelligence is just a role setting.

   Someone once said: If life is a need to continue at any cost, destruction is a priceless luxury.

  The movie is still going on, and Neo is undergoing training, slowly adapting to the new "rules" - mastering the power of destruction.

is that so?

  Pomona observes the actor, who is handsome but gentle, unless he puts on sunglasses and looks like a different person, not the kind of "nice guy" who would take out the trash for the landlady.
