Chapter 3165 Sea of ​​Dreams (6)

She dreamed that she was riding on a thestral and flying.

The forest is covered with white snow, without the colorful colors of spring, the rich green of summer, and the golden color of autumn, as if this should be the scenery of the underworld.

It’s no wonder that Sisyphus didn’t want to leave after seeing the beautiful earth when he returned to the sun.

 If all he had from birth was the boulder and the top of the mountain, he would not feel that his work was meaningless.

It was precisely because he thought about the scenery of the earth and wanted to appreciate the flowing water, sunshine, and sea again that he felt the pain of pushing the boulder.

The other is Achilles. Odysseus came to the underworld and met the lucky man who was revered as a **** during his lifetime and ruled the undead mightily after his death.

He was so lucky that Odysseus said to him, "You should not be sad even if you die."

 One time, Napoleoni suddenly began to recite it.

“I would rather have no ancestral property and have a meager family fortune than have to rule over the souls of all the dead.”

 At that time she had a very strange feeling, as if Napoleoni knew that he was dead.

But what he said was actually what Achilles in the underworld said, so she didn't take it to heart.

There are several rivers flowing at the entrance of the underworld, and there is not only one "River of Styx". The first one is the River of Resentment. All those who want to enter the underworld must pass through this river. It is said that it is much lighter than the water in the underworld, so it also has "Feathers". The title of "Sinking River".

Anyone who wants to enter the underworld must take a ferry boat, otherwise the human body cannot cross.

The same goes for Odysseus. He was blocked by the strong water of the river, although he had a good boat.

He offered sacrifices at the entrance, attracting many undead souls. One of the prophet's souls made a prediction after sucking blood that one day he would reach a place where people had never seen the sea and did not know how to eat salt-infused food. Food, who had never seen a boat, thought that oars were the wings for ships to fly, and Odysseus needed to carry an oar when traveling.

She looked at the Thestral. If it had wings made of wax, could it fly across the Styx? After all, there is no need to worry about the sun melting the wax here.

Flying, she saw a raven, which looked very similar to the one outside the tent just now.

The Thestral flew with it for a while until it began to descend, and she also let the Thestral descend.

The raven finally landed on a treetop, and the clearing under the tree was covered with thick white snow.

 She almost didn't see a wolf standing there.

 Its fur color is almost the same as Bai Xue, but the tips of the fur are gray-black, and its body is much larger than the ordinary European wolf.

 It looked at her with black eyes, neither approaching nor running away.

Hagrid said that he saw raven and wolf cooperation in the Forbidden Forest. The raven was responsible for scouting and telling the wolf the location of the prey, while the wolf was responsible for hunting.

 She doesn’t feel like she’s fallen into a trap.

There has always been a legend that there is a kind of "real wolf". They do not need to suffer the same pain of transformation as werewolves, and they will not become ferocious and attack friends and relatives.

But they did not remain in wolf form after the Animagus failed, or like the blood orcs, they changed from humans to animals due to an irreversible curse.

 “Do you want to say something to me?” she said to the wolf.

 The wolf's ears moved, as if it could understand what she was saying.

That is really a beautiful wolf, but unfortunately it may not like the touch of girls as much as unicorns. Besides, she feels that even if she wants to get close to unicorns, they will not let her touch them.

 “Are you friends?” she asked, looking at the raven on the tree.

The wolf let out a long howl, as if in response.

 How can different species become friends?

She felt a little funny, and then there was laughter in her ears, and three women in skimpy clothes laughed and surrounded her.

  She immediately remembered Botticelli's painting, which was the maids of Venus - the three goddesses of grace.

They represent joy and glory, embodying all the good things in life. The youngest goddess of grace, whom Hera promised to marry the **** of sleep, represents joy.

　　Bringing joy home, the God of Sleep is happy alone, what will others do?

She was amused by her idea, but she was reminded of Aristotle, who was in favor of building temples of the Graces in public places.

In his "Nicomachean Ethics" he mentioned that most people like Damantus's justice, that is, what a person does will be rewarded, tooth for tooth, eye for eye, if not so If they do, they consider themselves slaves, and slaves are the lowest people at that time.

However, the Goddess of Grace advocates repaying kindness with kindness and being happy for the good fortune of others.

This is quite difficult. Maybe a beggar will not be jealous of a millionaire, but he will be jealous of another beggar who asked for more coins than him.

Aristotle, however, distinguishes between envy, which causes one to suffer at the undeserved good fortune of others, and “righteous anger,” which causes one to suffer at the undeserved good fortune of others.

Lockhart is so well-known in the wizarding world that some young wizards may not know who defeated the Dark Lord, but they know Lockhart's name.

Yes, the Chocolate Frog picture has Dumbledore's name and likeness on it, but Lockhart can see it everywhere.

Pomona once thought that Dumbledore was jealous of Lockhart and called him a "bad example", but there are things to be learned even from bad examples.

 What is undeserved good luck? Lockhart worked so hard to manage himself to gain fame and status, even if his books were all lies.

In the same book of Aristotle, he talks about generosity. A generous person will give to the right people in the right amount, at the right time, under the right conditions of giving, and he will not take inappropriately. Things, because a person who does not value possessions would not do that. When Harry and Ron, James, Sirius and Lupine were together, they didn't value property. Of course, Ron would also be jealous sometimes, such as when Harry qualified as a player in the Triwizard Tournament.

In addition to giving Lupin a gramophone, James and Sirius also gave Lupine help, and everything was joyful.

 If a gift is given in exchange for something in return, even a thank-you gesture, it is another form of exchange.

Favor is a kind of giving without thinking about anything in return, and this kind of giving must be with preference. At least James and Sirius didn't think about giving anything to Snape.

This is the preference of the goddess of grace mentioned by Aristotle. Can anyone be jealous of Lupine's "good luck"?

 The counterpart of repaying evil with evil is repaying good with good. When the city-state is good enough, righteous anger and jealousy will dissipate, and the good luck of any citizen is the good luck of the city-state.

 She felt pity for Snape. If there was a hero in the city who gave his life, then he should get the honor.

He did not receive any honors, not even the Order of Merlin. As a principal, his portrait could not be hung in the principal's office. Instead, Lockhart of the "Anti-Dark Magic Alliance" received the Order of Merlin. Was that medal he deserved?

 The Order of Merlin belonging to Peter Peddie Road was withdrawn, which means that evil should not have good luck.

The purpose of this honor is not only to commemorate Snape himself, but also to give it to potential defenders. Giving honor is part of the "justice of the city", but the Ministry of Magic did not give it, which does not mean that the citizens of the magical society did not give it, but the way they remember him is "Snape loved Lily deeply", just like Lily was "the mother who gave her life to protect Harry Potter".

She suddenly "figured it out" that her stupid mixed-blood Veela was a "reward" given to Snape by God. She didn't need to be smart or smart, she just needed to concentrate on love like Fleur.

  Wisdom is poison to her, even if she is blind for love in the eyes of others, she does not need to listen to the wind, but blocks her ears with wax blocks.

But the problem now is that Pomona Sprout is fat and bloated. There is no way she is the half-Veela that drives all the boys in school crazy.

If Lily wasn't beautiful, she wouldn't be loved by James and Severus.

In the story of Notre Dame de Paris, the Archbishop woos the beautiful Asmeralda, and if she does not agree, he falsely accuses her of being a witch.

The other is the eloquent female saint who rejects the lord. The lord threatens to torture her unless she agrees to his advances.

 The other one is Helena, she was killed by Barrow, also because she chose to pursue wisdom, she left Hogwarts, as if she was Elsie who escaped from the Chicago gang instead of going back with her fiancé. The difference is that Elsie chose death herself, but Helena was chosen for her by someone else.

 Each of the three goddesses of grace represents a good thing, rather than one person having them all.

 She felt that Lily was lucky to have died early. If one day she met her like Odysseus met Achilles in the underworld, maybe Lily would say the same thing to Achilles.

 Snape should not ask her for justice, it is the "city-state" that should really give justice.

 “You want to clean up?”

 She heard someone say behind her.

“This is the benefit of reading more.” She said expressionlessly, “Like you, I love freedom and equality.”

 “You want to stay here?” he asked again.

 She turned around and walked towards the snowy field.

When someone is faced with a dilemma and is hesitant about what to do, help him eliminate one option. In fact...

 “Mrs.”

 Georgiana opened her eyes.

 “There’s a letter!” Carolan handed a letter to her.

 She lay on the bed and looked at the "n" on the envelope, which stood for Napoleon.

 “Is it an official document or a private message?” she asked Carolan.

 “I’m going to read it anyway, is it necessary to divide it?” Carolan asked.

 “If it’s not an urgent document, I don’t want to read it.” Georgiana said, turning over and wanting to go back to sleep.

 Caroline pulled her up and forced the letter to her.

She didn’t know where Carolan got such high energy, but she finally opened the letter.

"What did you write?" Carolan asked enthusiastically, looking at the letter.

“He read Cicero,” Georgiana said with a smile. “It was my Christmas present to him last year.”

 “You gave him a book?” Carolan frowned.

 “Otherwise, what should I give him?” Georgiana stood up from the bed and walked to the desk to look.

 “You want a reply?” Carolan asked.

 She thought about it.

 “Is the messenger still there?” she asked Carolan.
