Chapter 1096 Queen of the South

Each level of the maze has its own style.

The human face mask on the outermost circle was replaced by the family crest of the Malfoy family, the second floor only had water channels, and the third floor had many more sculptures.

After entering the "Magic Circle", there are many pillars, which look very much like Egyptian temples, and the top of the pillars is a copper bird. The fifth floor is the laurel forest, and there are crow sculptures of various shapes all over the forest. The sixth floor wall is covered with roses, and there are no other sculptures or fountains except for a crystal swan at the entrance.

The dazzling sculptures on the third floor not only have myths, but also describe hero legends and human life, just like constellations in the sky.

If Pomona had been to the place before she had guessed, she might not have used Spica Virgo to represent this layer.

She can also guess that it is a Capricorn, or even a Libra. Anyway, there must be a reasonable explanation.

It's like someone seeing "magic" and trying to figure out how a magician does it.

Vega represents the queen of summer nights, and some people regard women as representatives of mysterious ideas. Mystery is like a veil, covering the face of a beautiful woman, only revealing a pair of beautiful eyes.

These eyes may not be as petrifying as Medusa's, but they are equally deadly, and she attracts the curious to follow her into the banshee's lair.

Curiosity may not necessarily be the driving force for progress, but it may also be the root cause of trouble.

Pandora didn't control her curiosity and opened the magic box. The cat had nine lives and was killed by curiosity. The banshee would not let the prey go away after hearing "I'm sorry, I was wrong".

You must pay with your life.

The more it was forbidden, the more people wanted to try it. Adam and Eve were also curious about the taste of the forbidden fruit, and they were kicked out of the Garden of Eden.

Alchemists encrypted their files to prevent knowledge from falling into the wrong hands.

Each of us has a light side and a dark side, and there is no very clear line between good and bad people. It is not our abilities that determine who we become, but our choices.

Female mystics were not trained in schools, which were run by the Church during the Middle Ages.

They observe the world by "seeing" and understand the mysteries of body, soul, perception, and pain. These methods are often unethical, ethical or even legal.

The corpse is placed in full view as the protagonist in the opera house. It is not like a singer who can sing melodious music. But the onlookers still stared intently, even emotionally. On the contrary, the real opera house is full of businessmen, their voices talking about business cover the voices of the singers, and no one cares what the singers are singing.

When boys learn how to use a sword, girls must learn to smile.

Because a sullen face is unattractive and unable to please others, even if she is not happy at all in her heart, she still has to pretend that she is happy.

Mona Lisa smiles in order to attract other people's attention, which is different from Mary who smiles while holding the body of the Son.

To see through her smirk and understand her real intentions is beyond the reach of ordinary people who judge people by their appearance.

Not only detectives, but also excellent artists have this ability. Leonardo da Vinci believed that a good artist should not stick to the specific position of the body, but should pay attention to what kind of action can be consistent with the mental state of the character in the scene.

Even if an actor can memorize his lines, if his body language is too rigid, he will play a bad role.

Maybe that's what Mungnes Hagrid was for.

Spiders don't need to learn how to weave webs, it's a memory that exists before they are born. A scholar who only stays in the laboratory pays too much attention to the logic of the brain and ignores the body. On the contrary, people like mercenaries who have often experienced the test of life and death can use the body flexibly.

Instinct is full of animal nature. In the ancient forest, the animal ancestors of human beings evolved and survived in the forest by relying on instinct.

He wants those who break through to find this innate memory stored in muscles, blood vessels and skin. Break through the shackles of the terms and conditions, let the stiff body become flexible again, and find your natural wildness.

Mercenaries do not mean simple-minded and greedy and bloodthirsty, she should not underestimate them. Francisco Sforza was not just a mercenary, he was an illegitimate son, but he insisted on taking the title of Duke of Milan from the dead Visconti family.

The Sforza family still has a foothold in Italy, where the power is complicated. At the same time, they also sponsored Renaissance masters including Da Vinci and Michelangelo, hired Da Vinci and allowed him and his apprentices to open a restaurant in Milan. Atelier, although this family is not as famous as the Medici, it is also part of the Renaissance.

No matter how powerful a creature is, there are times when it is weak, even Fenrir. When he first arrived in the garden of the gods, he was just a fluffy little puppy. Who would have thought that he would become a giant wolf that devours the sky.

Leonardo da Vinci's first work, "The Doctors Come to Worship", describes that the three doctors came to Bethlehem under the guidance of the stars, and gave gold, spices, and myrrh as gifts to Jesus' family.

This scene was one of the most popular subjects in Florence in the 15th century. Da Vinci was in his twenties at the time, impatient like all young people, and after creating a creative idea, he threw the painting aside. In order to urge him to complete the painting, his father, Piero, carefully crafted a contract with the abbot. He must borrow money from the abbey to buy paint, and the abbey will pay him after the completion of the painting.

In less than three months, something went wrong. Da Vinci did not finish the painting, but owed the monastery 150 gold florins plus a barrel of wine. The 150 gold florins he paid for a young woman Dowry, but that's another story.

Before he became famous, Da Vinci was also very unsatisfactory and needed his father's help. If the cover letter he wrote to Sforza is not accepted, then Da Vinci will also be forced to give up his dream because of his livelihood.

Man needs to eat to live. "Man lives not only by food, but also by all the words of the Lord," Jesus said.

Da Vinci has never had marriage or even intimate contact with any woman in his life, and has always kept it secret in private, and declared that he hates physical relations; Anything related to women is disgusting, and people who don't have a good face and aesthetic qualities will die early."

So, what did Da Vinci want? Is he really a heretic?

The entrances from the third floor to the fourth floor of the maze outside the manor are not closed like a "magic circle", because there are still people in the manor who need to enter and exit, but this entrance is disguised and looks like an ordinary wall. the difference.

Its location is just behind a group of sculptures. The woman standing in the middle is wearing a crown, and her posture is like Venus born from the sea, but she is not wearing a brocade dress made of stars on the shore. Greet her Spring God Frona.

She has a long skirt that hangs down to the floor, so she doesn't need to put on any cloth. The fairies around her have different postures, some of them are holding fruits and ears of wheat, and the whole looks like they are worshiping. .

Persephone is the daughter of the goddess of grain. Hades rushed out of the cracked earth in a black chariot while Demeter didn't see it, and forcibly captured Persephone to the underworld.

After Demeter found out that her daughter was missing, she looked around anxiously to find out her whereabouts. She no longer has the heart to farm, and all the fields in the world begin to go barren.

Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Zeus sent the messenger Hermes to Hades, asking Hades to let Persephone go. However, before leaving Hades, Persephone ate three pomegranate seeds that Hades gave her, so she had to live in the dark Hades for three months of the year and be the queen of Hades for three months. month is the cold winter.

Virgo is to commemorate this story. Persephone was once a virgin, but she was not after being forcibly married by Hades.

Both copper and gold are so golden that it is difficult to tell them apart with the eyes. There is no difference between a virgin and a newly married woman, and it is also impossible to tell a person wearing a mask of hypocrisy mixed with good people.

Her intuition told her that the representative constellation of the third labyrinth is Virgo, and the fourth labyrinth is related to hallucinations.

Although the old fool didn't teach her the spell of gargoyles, those seemingly decorative copper birds should be able to move like those stone statues. Coupled with the interference of hallucinations, it may not be so easy to pass this level.

Some hallucinations are so wonderful that even if they know they are false, they are unwilling to leave. That's why so many people spend their time in front of the Mirror of Erised.

She looked at the person who came out of the entrance of the illusory maze, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether he was her own fantasy or real existence.

He wasn't wearing a black coat, it was getting hot after all, but he was still wearing a cape, and he still looked hot.

"Come on," Severus said, "Leave them both alone."

"You just didn't want to force Draco and Fiona to eat at the same table, did you?" Pomona sneered. "There's no new house, is there?"

"You'll find out soon enough." Severus curled his arm "take me."

She obediently took his arm and disapparated with him.

Anyway, she would follow him no matter where he went, so why ask so many questions?
