Harry Potter’s Morning Light - Chapter 2623 Wind and Flowers (2)

   Chapter 2623 Wind and Flowers (2)

According to Helga Hufflepuff's portrait at Hogwarts, she can be seen as a round, plump woman with brown hair and blue eyes, who often reveals either gentle or brilliant smiling, usually wearing a brown or yellow dress and holding a gold cup.

   Pomona's clothes are also mainly yellow. When she opened the wardrobe, she felt a little depressed. How different is it from Slytherin's old bat's cabinet of black clothes?

   Then she remembered the moonlight-like dress she saw in the Fengya brand wizard clothing store, and sighed.

  Today, she chose a yellow dress with a black floral pattern, even though she wore it, it was estimated that she would change from a fluffy cake to a fluffy, patterned cake.

She temporarily added a few white flowers to the skirt. Although she couldn't change her figure, it at least made the skirt look "magic", which looked a lot like black stems and black roots with white flowers. Grass.

  It has the power to stop enchantments, and in Homer's Odyssey, Odysseus once used it to defeat the witch Cersei, who often uses magical food to turn lost sailors around her island into animals. When the hero Odysseus spends a year on her island after freeing his shipmates from her spell.

If "The Iliad" is a way out, then "The Odyssey" is about the way home. This road is not peaceful, full of all kinds of temptations and adventures, but Odysseus still He tried his best to return to his home after a long absence.

  Dobby is a free house elf. After he left the Malfoys, he did not feel like the other house elves that he was "exiled", but went where he wanted to go.

   And the kitchen of Hogwarts is a sanctuary for the house elves. Helga took in the wandering elves and let them work here. They are very satisfied with the stable life now.

   One day Dobby will marry a house-elf girl and start a family, and he'll probably find a place to settle as well. By then, Dobby will also go from "deviant" to following the rules and obeying the laws of society.

   After getting dressed, Pomona smiled at himself in the mirror.

   A fat woman who always smiles is of course much better looking than a fat woman who always has a cold face, but she doesn't say "you are still beautiful" to the mirror like Janice.

  Aging is inevitable for human beings. Odysseus once stayed on the island of Cabrusson. She is the daughter of the Titan **** Atlas, a goddess who does not age. Even so, Odysseus left her for his aging wife.

   She loves the characters in this story just as she loves Arthur Weasley, who still loves her no matter what Molly becomes.

  If Janice hadn't stayed in the wizarding world, or had gone to a place where no one knew her, with her charm, there might still be "young guys" attracted to her. But everyone knows that she is more than 100 years old, no matter how she hides it with magic, it can't change this "fact" that everyone knows.

   "It's not a love potion. What's the use of her forgetting potion?" Pomona muttered and left in front of the mirror.

  If Janice is on a mission, wearing that kind of perfume is very useful, as long as you spray it on the target when you are not ready, the other party will not remember what happened just now, like nothing happened.

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

  In many history books, the Battle of Hadriansburg is considered to be the biggest defeat of the Roman legion after the Battle of Cannae and the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, and it is also a sign of the fall of the Roman Empire.

The Goths did not besiege Constantinople, and succeeded Emperor Theodosius I to make peace with the Goths. The Goths promised to help the emperor protect the Roman borders to obtain food supplies, but the barbarians inevitably infiltrated the original Roman Empire. The land eventually invaded the Apennine Peninsula and destroyed the Western Roman Empire.

  The corruption of Rome had become a chronic evil at that time, not only the generals, but also the soldiers. Emperor Valens agreed to move the Goths into the Roman Empire because he wanted to fill his army with Goths. At this time, it was very difficult for the Roman Empire to recruit its own soldiers. However, the soldiers responsible for guarding the borders of the Danube accepted bribes to allow the Goths to enter with arms. At the same time that a large number of Goths moved in, the Roman legions were very weak in this area. When the rebellion started, many of the Roman legions tasked with suppressing the Goths were barbarians or temporary recruits who were not only ineffective but also turned against the enemy.

  The Roman dignitaries who were far away in Italy did not know that the death knell of the country's subjugation had sounded at this time, and they were still living a life of enjoyment that turned day and night upside down.

  All roads lead to Rome, and then the barbarians followed the road built by the Romans and rushed into the city of Rome, and they overthrew the Western Roman Empire under the cooperation of the inside and outside.

What happened later    was nothing but a repeat of Troy's story, except that there was no need for ships to transport slaves and treasure.

Too much baggage would slow down the march, but the Goths had wagons, which served as fortifications at the Battle of Hadriansburg, similar to the tactics used by the pioneers of the American West, driving them The caravans formed in a circle became the fortifications that could be based on, and they could be used to transport supplies when the war was over, not to mention that the roads in Rome were so well built and smooth.

Frederick the Great said that the construction of roads was to create opportunities for other countries to invade. During the Anti-French Alliance War, he also attacked along the thoroughfare left by Louis XIV. In Germany, it was not built in strict accordance with the instructions of Frederick the Great. Road, which also led to the German business is not prosperous.

The first thing that the siege battle will cut off is the food route for the outside world to enter the city. The bigger the city, the more so. If the residents of the city cannot unite and unite with the outside world, infighting will occur because of the problem of food. At that time, the attacking party only needs to be in the city. Waiting quietly outside, you can see the fire burning in the city.

  The strongest fortresses are often breached from the inside. Perhaps siege vehicles, trebuchets and other machines that are difficult to build and transport are required to attack the gates, but it is much easier to open the locks of the gates from the inside.

In this way, even if the walls are built to be impregnable, it is useless. Constantinople can defend against the attack from the pagans in the east, but it has no protection against the crusaders from France, and all this is caused by Venice. independent.

   She didn't want people to see the joke, leaving behind a "beautiful name".

  The lack of food for two consecutive years made Bonaparte stop conscription, and there will be 7 wars of the anti-French alliance in the "future". Both monarchy and Gothic history have shown how dangerous it can be to have no army of your own, or more mercenaries and reinforcements than your own.

  People need a reason to fight, mercenaries are for money, they have no loyalty at all, and ordinary people don't die for a little military pay.

  The afterglow of the Baroque king left by Louis XIV has not yet dissipated, and many people still recognize that men with more women are successful. Montesquieu said in "The Spirit of the Laws" that polygamy depends on the man's ability to support, not to mention that she cannot require a French "king" to be loyal to a British female spy.

   Others would think she had manipulated him into giving him stupid orders, like he had removed tariffs on British steel imports.

  Because of this, she was kicked out of the Tuileries Palace, and even the job of managing the cafeteria was replaced.

   What is this female version of Merlin?

   Just then, there was a knock on her door.

   "Please come in."

   It was not her maid who walked in, but Gaston Martin, who looked flustered.

   Her first thought was that Napoleon had been attacked again in Aachen.

   "Something happened, ma'am." Mr. Martin said in a deep voice, "The warehouse of the Hope family was burned down."

   She didn't think it was a big deal.

   "That warehouse was full of indigo." Mr. Martin continued. "Half of their stock was in the London warehouse that burned, and it would be a disaster."
