Chapter 1097 Secret Forest
Lugano is located on the shore of Lake Lugano, bordering Italy, and is now an Italian-speaking city belonging to Switzerland.
Cars are prohibited here, and both tourists and local residents walk. Houses of various colors such as yellow, pink, blue, and red are built on the hill, like irregular groups of multicolored building blocks, hidden among the green hills, green trees and vineyards, depicting the back hill of Lugano as a brightly colored, Layered mediterranean style painting.
There is a train by the lake leading to Switzerland. It is called the scenic train, but it is actually a combination of bus and train on the route. Even in winter, it is full of warm sunshine and is very suitable for tourism. It is a lakeside paradise for Swiss people.
In Lugano, you can feel the enthusiasm of the Italians, but also filter the Italian origin, dirty streets and arrogant pickpockets. People in the Netherlands and other Nordic countries regard this place as the first choice for vacation, and it ranks first in the list of "the most desirable city to live in after retirement". You can see the majestic Alps, and there are lakes where you can go boating. comfortable life.
But the city did not belong to Switzerland from the moment it was built.
The city belonged to the Celts when it was built in the 6th century, then to the Lombards, and then to the Duchy of Milan. When Charles VIII took Milan, the city fell into the hands of the French.
After the War of the Spanish Succession, France lost control of northern Italy, and Lugano fell to the Germans.
It eventually fell into Swiss hands after the Holy Roman Empire split and is now one of the three major financial centers in Switzerland.
This beautiful town full of peace has a little connection with the war, but there has been no major war here in history, but the ownership has changed several times.
There is a city named Luino tens of kilometers to the west of the city. Its fate is similar to that of Lugano, but it is not as famous as Lugano.
Luino is also a city built on the lakeside, but it is open to traffic, and besides the colorful building block houses, there are many castles hidden in the forest.
Among the Death Eaters was a man named Mulciber, whom Igor Karkaroff denounced at the hearing. He doesn't like to use the Cruciatus Curse like Bella, he is better at the Imperius Curse, which is designed to make people do some terrible things. He escaped with Bella during the Azkaban escape in 1995, and he was also the one who used the Imperius Curse on Roderick Bode.
After Roderick Bird failed to steal the orb, he disguised himself as an elderly wizard who needed hearing aids, visited Roderick Bird at St. At his bedside, preventing Roderick Bode from revealing their plans when he was awake.
But as Pomona predicted, the man behind it was Severus Snape, who provided the Polyjuice Potion and the devil's net stolen from Pomona's greenhouse.
In the Battle of the Ministry of Magic, Mulciber was with Lucius. Later Lucius was arrested and imprisoned, but he escaped the hunt. He also escaped the Battle of Hogwarts and is still at large. One of Voldemort's staunch supporters.
This castle located on the lakeside in the outskirts of Luino was obtained by Mulciber after using Soul Reaper on a rich Muggle as a gift to the Dark Lord.
From Pomona's point of view, this is already a very good result. At least the rich Muggle is still alive, but he just lost a property that is not very popular. Even if it wasn't designed by Palladio, it would cost a lot of money to maintain that Renaissance French chateau, and he's doing well overall.
Kritch lives here now, along with house-elves from other families, serving a group of haughty pure-blood nobles.
Pomona once considered dropping out of Slytherin if she was assigned, and she still didn't change her mind.
Even though the castle was somewhat similar to Hogwarts, she still felt like she was in a cell.
She lived in the best room in the castle, from the bedroom window overlooking the lake and mountains.
However, that was her only area of activity, unless she wanted to ask for trouble and meet Death Eaters in the castle.
There are many small islands in Lake Magione like Black Lake, and there are artificial buildings on the islands. Pomona looked at them, and her mind kept subconsciously thinking of Albus's white cemetery.
She couldn't understand why she had this association, maybe she forgot to carve an epitaph for Albus.
If someone is unfortunate enough to become a double agent like Severus, the first problem he has to face is being distrusted by both sides.
It's okay if it's normal, but once you encounter a problem, he is the first person to be suspected.
Severus is now back in his life as a spy, only this time he's not playing himself, but Edgar Smith, a pure-blood who has lived in Europe all his life and never experienced war.
Just as Pomona had feared, Voldemort shifted his center of activity from England to Europe, and he managed to hook up with the Dementors.
The target of their attack this time is Palodo, and the plan has reached the final stage, she just needs to wait for the notification when to start.
After Gemini is Cancer, and the representative of Cancer in the Egyptian horoscope is the scarab. If Voldemort wants to find a good fortune for himself, he may act after June 22.
However, when she looked at the Alps in the distance and the reflections on the lake, not only was it hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys, but even the mother couldn't tell the difference between the twins who looked alike.
The patron saint of Gemini is Hermes, and maybe there will be good luck with the blessing of the god of alchemy.
Pomona touched the black swan pendant around her neck.
In addition to metal, "jewelry" also needs to be inlaid with precious stones.
She heard that the ancient Greek and Roman sculptures just excavated from the ground were colored, but the colors were too gaudy and vulgar, and were washed away by later generations, including the painted eyes, which turned into the current marble appearance. .
She has always felt that the eyes of the sculptured lion are empty, and it looks like a blind man. Can a blind king rule a country well?
The governor of Venice, Enrico Dandolo, was blind. In order to free Venice from the yoke of the Byzantine Empire, he planned a plan for the Crusaders to sack Constantinople.
He fulfilled Venice, but handed over the bridgehead of the Western world to the Ottoman Empire, so that the entire Eastern Mediterranean was constantly harassed by the Ottoman fleet.
An orphan girl was given to the sultan as a gift, and she gave Venice a further advantage in its diplomacy with the Genoese. During that time, Venice was strong and the trade in the whole Mediterranean was prosperous. Merchants had spare money to decorate their houses, artists had more job opportunities, and they could create more works.
Charles VIII's attempt to take control of Italy ended up embroiling France in half a century of Italian wars, and his military venture failed after initial victories. United opposition of the Papal States, Venice, Milan, and Ferdinand of Aragon, Holy Roman Emperor. In the Battle of Taylor, the French army was defeated, and Charles VIII was forced to withdraw from Italy. He later formulated a plan to conquer Italy, but failed due to his untimely death.
Louis XII, who succeeded him, fully inherited Charles VIII's plan to conquer Italy. Louis XII tried to be a good king of the people. He made many efforts to this end, such as reforming the judicial system and reducing taxes. These actions earned him the title of "Father of the People".
However, Machiavelli, in his theory of the monarch, took Louis XII as a typical example of a failed monarch.
Louis XII quickly occupied Milan, but he would soon lose Milan. For more than two hundred years, Milan has been changing hands. Both the Holy Roman Emperor and the King of France claimed to be the heirs of the Principality, and therefore More wars broke out.
Until the end of the 18th century, the War of Spanish Succession occurred and the duchy was conquered by Austria. The treaty ending the war ceded the Duchy of Milan to Austria. Austria ruled Milan until 1796, when it was overthrown by French forces led by Napoleon.
If Louis XIV hadn't been "blind" and underestimated the short Prince Eugen, and the Holy Roman Empire hadn't won the Spanish throne war, how would history have been written?
The lake in Interlaken is blue, and the people who took this name seem to believe that the eyes of God are blue.
Barad-dou was built by the Dark Lord Sauron in the Second Era, and it took about 600 years to complete. On the top of the tower of this dark tower there is a huge Eye of Sauron, which is orange like a burning flame and looks at Middle-earth.
The lion's eyes are amber in color, and amber is close to orange.
She "looked" at the non-existent lion's eyes, saying that the eyes are the windows of the soul, so what is in the heart of the king?
"No wonder Bella is so obsessed with you, Tom," she whispered.
If power can bring happiness to people, then Bella and Voldemort are like being in heaven together.
It was hell when she lost him.
But the weirdest thing is that Voldemort's body was not found in Godric's Hollow, so Bella found the Longbottom's house and asked Frank and Alice about the whereabouts of the Dark Lord.
No body can only be considered missing, he may be alive or dead, just like Schrödinger's cat, that cat has suffered a lot.
Convinced that he will return, Bella suffers in Azkaban, even as prison life destroys her health and robs her of her beauty.
If there's anything Bella deserves to be recognized for, it might be her fidelity.
"I'll save you, Severus," she said as if swearing, and turned away from the window.
During this time, she can learn how to boil the antidote for Nagini's venom. As for the time converter... I'll think about that later.
