Harry Potter Morning Light

In fact, those gold coins can be placed in caves instead of in banks, just like pirates, leaving a treasure map for explorers to find.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Pomona gave up. The ship of gold coins can be given to the Venetians as a meeting gift and become the start-up capital of their bank.

There is only one reason for using warships to transport gold coins. Those British warships were pirate ships. Pirates were very rampant in the 16th century. With the discovery of the New World and the expansion of colonies, various ships full of gold and other goods were sailing around the world. His ambitions make it easy to legitimize brutal piracy. At that time, British privateers could attack and rob Spanish cargo ships with impunity.

The "Private License" was used by the governments at that time as a national tool to strengthen the navy, allowing the country to create an extra sea force capable of attacking enemy merchant ships without increasing the budget. These pirates are backed by the government and the country Called "Royal Pirates".

If you make too many enemies, you will be besieged by groups. If the Pope can launch a crusade, why can’t he launch a conquest against Britain? Regardless of whether the explosion on San Angelo Island in 1689 was God’s will or man-made, it has changed the world pattern, just as The explosion in 1605 was unsuccessful.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the bell of St. Mark's Basilica sounded the time. Pomona and Severus sat by the pier, watching the sunset in the Mediterranean Sea and listening to the regular lapping of the sea.

As a wizard but someone else's godparent, this responsibility is heavy. Even if Lucius Malfoy ends up sleeping on the street, Pomona doesn't want to care about him, but Draco is different.

He is a bad boy, but he is not completely bad compared with the real villains.

He is now a doctor, redeeming sins by saving people, this kind of practical action is much more useful than kneeling before God to repent.

No one knows how many people have killed their former companions because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, and no one knows how many people have been forced into slavery, like Cecilia Verrol, the beautiful Sultan Princess, who was actually It was just an illegitimate daughter who was abandoned in an orphanage, but she brought peace to Venice, and then there were Titian and Tintoretto, Paul Veronese. In the late 16th century, when Renaissance art in Florence and other parts of Italy faded away, the Venetian school continued to flourish.

The people here are naturally cheerful and bright, and even the sky here is different from the gloomy England. The clouds are colorful, unlike the lead gray sky in England.

If one day Britain really can't stay, Pomona hopes that Draco can come here and continue to be a colorful prince like he was a child.

He is like a big villain in a cartoon, he thinks a lot of evil plans but always suffers the consequences, none of them are successful, the only time he succeeds is to obey orders, and his father was taken away, what else can he have choose?

Those ill-gotten gains from robbery are lost as soon as they are lost. It is more important to be alive. Perhaps the Templars traveled lightly and did not bring any wealth with them.

They lived a life of ordinary people incognito in a place few people knew.

They planted wheat, and when the wheat matured in autumn, the palms of their palms ran across the wheat awns, and the other hand was holding a woman, and the woman was holding a child in her hand.

He put down the bloody sword in his hand and became an ordinary farmer. There is nothing shameful about this, because he knows very well that he is serving the world in another way. He is a righteous man. When going to war, he will not blindly follow the call of the pope and the king.

He will fight for what is right, not for credit and rewards.

Heaven may not be after death, nor in people's imagination, it is right in front of us, right now.

As a Venetian one should remember that he was a Venetian first and a Christian second.

This may be the reason why Enrico Dandolo acted like a seller in the Fourth Crusade, while the Contarini family took care of a situation that was too big, a situation that could not be achieved and controlled by the power of Venice.

People can't save the world, so stop meddling in other people's business, it's good for yourself and others.

Just then Alessandro returned in his motorboat, with Monica and Gianluca standing behind him, what looked like two guards.

They didn't say anything after the boat docked, as if they didn't know how to explain their whereabouts.

"Can Francis really talk to birds?" Pomona asked. "I know people who can talk to snakes."

"Where's your bird snake?" Monica asked.

"In the hotel," said Pomona. "That's a lazy snake."

"It's too cold in winter, and it hasn't fully warmed up yet, that's his habit." Severus said, as if he had suddenly become a magizoologist.

"What's for dinner?" Pomona asked three locals.

"I know a place," said Gianluca, "where there is wine for the doge."

It was only then that Pomona remembered the purpose of their trip. They had come to drink, so they boarded Alessandro's boat again, this time with Gianluca as the driver.

They didn't go to any big island, but to a small island. There was only one house on this island, which was octagonal and neoclassical in style. Much like the Notre Dame of the Flowers in Florence, the entrance is a circular Roman-style colonnade, which can be seen as a palace-style mansion at a glance.

In Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth, who has always been prejudiced against Mr. Darcy, went "crazy" when she saw his home, after all, she was only the daughter of a squire.

Many children are stunned when they see Hogwarts Castle for the first time. They have never been to foreign countries, and they have never seen Versailles and Neuschwanstein Castle. Draco is used to living in the manor. If he is willing to ride a horse around his It's okay to go around the land, but Pomona thinks he might not be able to stand such a smelly animal.

When he came to Hogwarts, he was not as frightened and bewildered like other first-year freshmen. In the summer vacation of the first year as a freshman, he went to the school to experience the feeling of being a "castle master" and wandered around in the empty school.

Fleur came to Hogwarts and still disliked it in various ways. After seeing many big scenes, she would not feel that Hogwarts Castle is very luxurious.

There is an ordinary motorboat at the pier, similar to the motorboats covered by the green cloth of the nearby civilians. It sways slightly with the waves and is surrounded by evergreen shrubs.

Gianluca went ashore first, then reached out to lead Monica ashore, Alessandro followed, Pomona and Severus came last.

"Do you think we're like the Gardiners?" Pomona said to Severus. "Monica is our niece?"

"You've read too much Jane Austen," Severus muttered, too.

"Didn't you know it was even designated as soldiers' reading in World War I?" Pomona said threateningly. "It helped soldiers recover from shell shock. Because love and happiness are what everyone wants beautiful things to pursue.”

Severus ignored her at all.

At least his character was by no means as soft as Mr. Gardiner's, but he took her by the hand and went ashore.

In Jane Austen's book, it is written: Elizabeth met Mr. Darcy unexpectedly many times when she was walking. It was unfortunate that he should come where no one else came, and it seemed to her that fate was trying to make things difficult for her.

Mr. Darcy's Pemberley Manor is hidden in a deep and vast forest, and Gianluca Dante's palace is on an island in the lagoon.

Neoclassicism retains the elegance, dignity and nobility of classicism, but is completely different from the exaggeration of Baroque style, and opposes the pursuit of excessive elegance.

The house has three floors, and in the middle is a courtyard with a fountain that connects the various rooms and a lawn that contrasts with the marble-floored interior.

The space and porch surrounded by Roman colonnades can hold dance parties. The living room is at the first corner in the counterclockwise direction, and the second floor is the library.

The living room continues counterclockwise and the next one is the dining room, which has a long dining table. The French windows of the dining room overlook the unobstructed Adriatic Sea. Even people like Pomona who often participate in social activities are attracted A house was "struck by lightning", let alone ordinary civilians like Monica and Alessandro.

"Is this the clubhouse?" Alessandro said foolishly.

"No, this is my home." Gianluca put the key in a porcelain bowl of pigeons. "Sit where you want, I'll get you a drink."

"He's really rich." Pomona couldn't help but marvel. Who would have thought that the skinny and small "nerd" who still wore canvas shoes and a T-shirt would actually live in such a place.

"If you want to live..."

"Shut up!" Pomona yelled.

Now she was dizzy. Those sculptures that looked old were most likely real antiques, and they might even be carved by Michelangelo. After all, Giancuka liked the golden section.

"How does he clean such a big house?" Monica asked.

"He has servants." A voice sounded from behind them. It was a kind-looking middle-aged man with a gray beard and bare feet. He walked silently when he walked. He was wearing loose cotton trousers and A black pullover with paint on it.

He looked like a painter, but Pomona subconsciously looked at the oil paint scraper in his hand, which was sharp enough to cut her throat.

"Who are you?" Severus asked.

"Servant of Dante's house," the man said. "You can call me ombra."

"That's what shadow means," Alessandro explained to the two.

"I prefer un'ombra, which is a kind of wine. It only costs 1 euro a glass in the small bar." Ombra said with a smile, "do you bring coins?"

"What if I don't have it?" Severus said with a smile.

"You should know that in some places funerals will put a few coins in the hands of the deceased. This is the ferry money on the River Styx. If you don't give them, I'm afraid they will make things difficult for you." Ombra said, "You should prepare coins, foreigners."

"Go." Pomona grabbed the arms of Alessandro and Monica and stepped aside.

"You're trying to make things difficult for me?" Severus took his wand out of his sleeve and started circling the hall.

"I heard that you are a wizard?" Ombra also asked while circling.

"Yes, what are you?"

"Servant," said the ombra, "a loyal servant, are you a loyal servant?"

"No." Severus smiled strangely. "I don't think Enrico Dandolo is a loyal servant, nor is the Republic of Venice."

Ombra paused and sneered "You're good at provocation."

"You too, how do you know I'm not the master?" Severus also stopped smirking.

"I can smell you." Ombra laughed. "You're a snake."

"What are you? Watchdog?" Severus said.

Ombra shook his head with a wry smile, and suddenly stabbed with the scraper like a scorpion's tail needle.
