Chapter 1108

The garden of the castle is a private place like the lord's sanctuary, except that the sanctuary is usually a hidden library, or a treasure house containing rare treasures, while the garden is usually associated with the Garden of Eden, Song of Songs, Heaven, or royal hunting. related.

John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, father of Henry IV of Lancaster, was once lord of Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire. He acquired a huge fortune through his marriage to Constanza, daughter of the Spanish tyrant Pedro, and used the money to decorate his castle.

In 1266, Kenilworth Castle was the military fortress of the Lancastrian Dynasty in the British "War of the Roses", and it resisted foreign invasion continuously for 6 months.

After the death of John of Gaunt, his son Henry seized the throne of England and became Henry IV. His son was the famous Henry V.

Most of the blood relatives of the Lancastrian dynasty were lost in the War of the Roses, and Henry Tudor, the last Lancastrian leader, already got in touch with the Lancastrian family through matrilineal blood.

But a line of direct male descendants of Gaunt of John came to France. The last monarch of the Tudor dynasty, the "Virgin Queen" Elizabeth I, died without an heir. According to her will, the British throne was passed to her distant relative, James I, who was also King of Scotland. They once wanted to return home, but were refused by James I.

During Elizabeth's reign, she often lived in Kenilworth Castle, which was owned by the Earl of Leicester at the time, and it was widely rumored that the Earl was Queen Elizabeth's lover.

She comes out of the bedroom at 5 pm every day, but she is not resting, she is a diligent queen, and 20 horses travel between Kenilworth and London every day.

Later, because the earl mysteriously murdered his neglected wife, which aroused many speculations and criticisms, the queen gradually alienated her, and finally executed the earl for "treason".

Only half a century had passed since Kenilworth's feasting, and the royal family was coming to an end, as Oliver Cromwell blasted the lavish palace into ruins with cannon in 1649, soldiers demolished the palace, rendering it useless. Inhabited, the castle was abandoned.

After the French Revolution began, the Gaunt family who fled to France moved back to England from France. They are different from other Gaunts who live in seclusion in valleys and wilderness. They are extravagant, extravagant, high-profile, and even threatened to restore Kenilworth's castle to its former glory.

But with the decline of the feudal system, the Gaunt family, which has no territory and no tyrant to marry, has no source of income, so it declines day by day.

Later, there was no place to stay, and finally he lived in a wooden house in Little Hangleton incognito.

Since Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts, many people have speculated about where he went, whether he became a ranger who was more cruel than the dark wizard, or went to the East.

But wherever he went, he was sure to meet a woman, marry and have children with her.

Salazar's father was well-traveled and probably collected a lot of books, and Salazar was self-educated through the family library.

Whatever the reason, it is inevitable that Slytherin is connected to this maze, and the basilisk Saturn is as obedient to Voldemort as the basilisk at Hogwarts.

The Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets has existed for a thousand years, and there are countless people looking for it, but Tom Riddle opened it easily.

This labyrinth has been built for about four hundred years. Its history is not as old as the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets, but it still attracts people who want to snatch treasures. It's just that the headmaster can't be too straightforward. Everyone's masks have been torn off in this wilderness.

Pomona looked at the golden flagon she had just acquired.

All along, she thought that "sun gold" was a solid like gold, but she never thought it was a liquid metal like mercury.

Mercury can wash off the golden color of the gold surface, but can it wash off the color of "sun gold" which is also a liquid metal?

Since the layer of black tulle was unfolded, the tiankeng has fallen into a state where it can only enter and cannot enter. It is easy to enter, but not so easy to exit.

In the absence of food, just wait a few days, and Nadia will starve to death in the maze, no need to take risks at this time.

That woman might use some poisonous tricks, especially since she still has such a deep understanding of the maze, those "outsiders" who are not careful will fall for it.

No one in Hogwarts now remembers that it once belonged to Salazar Slytherin. As an asset donated by Slytherin to start the school, does Slytherin's heir have the right to take it back?

Especially when he encountered difficulties and had nowhere to go because of his family's downfall.

Principal Armando Dippet asked Tom Riddle to find a way by himself, and Tom did think of a way, opened the secret room, hid in it and spent the summer vacation with the basilisk. It's just that Dippet's life became difficult at the beginning of the second year. A Muggle-born female student died, and he was forced to take the blame and resign. Now it was his turn to leave the school.

It was also in Slytherin's collection that Voldemort learned how to make Horcruxes.

At that time, he was not as courageous as he is now. In order to cover up his crimes, he would plant blame and create disappearances. Later, he became more and more rampant, so that he lost the reason of normal people. Anyway, he has overwhelming power , whoever dares to disobey him, he will destroy.

Now that he has no body, he has become a lot more restrained, but this may be temporary. When he has a body in the future, he will become the same as before.

The less good at reflection and summarization, the more people who lack self-control will stumble on the same mistakes. Not correcting after repeated admonition is one of the bad habits of people, and it is also a common characteristic of losers.

Harry defeated Voldemort and became the savior. He also collected three Deathly Hallows and became the "master of death", but this "master" could not let his parents, godfather, Cedric, Lyme Si and Tonks came back to life.

A fairy tale is a fairy tale after all, but Grindelwald and Dumbledore took it seriously.

But it is undeniable that Grindelwald is indeed a genius, at least he imitated something similar to the "Death Cloak", and he also created a skull that could reflect the future he saw.

He played with the magic world in the palm of his hand, everyone was a pawn, as if playing a game, wouldn't it be interesting to be such a conspirator?

He did not wear the real crown, but his words were believed, even if the seer was a liar.

Some people don't know that they have been tricked until the end, and often there is no way to go at this time.

Luxury shoppers get a brief moment of bragging rights, and their money goes into the pockets of businessmen like François. Francois then used the money to buy the right to use the Palazzo Grassi in Venice. The Venetian government used the money to build the Moses Project to save Venice.

But sea levels continue to rise, and if the airlock remains open, the water quality in the Venetian Lagoon will quickly deteriorate and become as foul as a swamp. Global warming cannot be stopped by the Venetians alone, and the Moses plan, which cost billions of euros, is useless.

Can a person who loves extravagance get rid of this habit?

Pomona felt that it was embarrassing. The simple habits she had insisted on for decades were led astray by these Slytherins, let alone a young man with no judgment.

Albus is not perfect either, he likes sweets and fame. Sweets are worthless now, but they were also a luxury in the Middle Ages when sugar resources were scarce.

For him, is love or fame the highest order in heaven?

Even in love itself there is a difference between loving and being loved.

It is much happier to be loved than to be loved. There are many men around Elizabeth, and they all love this diligent and virgin queen. Elizabeth should also make good use of them.

Love is the most powerful weapon for women, otherwise the British worship the queen so much.

The same women in power have completely different fates in the East. Cixi is the best example.

The East is very repulsive to women in power, and there is a saying in the East that women without talent are virtue. Oriental women in the feudal era were in the same situation as Merope, without any education.

She just believes that good-looking people will have a much better fate than those who are not good-looking.

She also didn't understand the value of her locket, she sold it for 10 Galleons.

But the most terrible thing is the child in her belly. He knew how to absorb the life of others before he was born.

Unless she induces labor, the child will surely kill her, but human motherhood is the strongest of all animals. Other animals drive their offspring out of their territories as they approach adulthood. Human beings will continue to care about their children's future after they reach adulthood, worrying about their marriage, income, position, and so on.

A mother would sacrifice her life for her child, as Lily Potter did.

If Pomona hadn't been that stupid, she might not have felt that Lily had ever had a crush on Severus.

But Lily is a smart woman, she knows how stubborn Severus is, and also understands how easy it is to be loved, James changed himself for her and Harry, and he is no longer as stubborn as he was when he was 15 years old.

Her favorite was Harry, and then James, maybe she would also be moved when she saw Severus, but unfortunately she was dead by then.

It was Lily's death that created the current Severus Snape.

Pomona wants to be the relaxed and happy person in the past, but she can't let go of the dark person.

She tugged at his cloak unconsciously as he passed her.

He stopped and looked at her with dark eyes.

For a moment she didn't know what to say.

It was as if she was having a long dream. In the dream, she could see the boy, grow up with him, and watch him change little by little, from the lonely loser in the past to the one who is now alone. She never dreamed that his habit of shooting flies in the dark when he was bored would be the key to the next difficulty.

It's just that his sight never stayed on her, his eyes always followed the girl with a pair of green eyes shining like the sun.

Veela charms do not always work on male humans, especially if their beauty is covered.

Instead, she was attracted by human love.

Felix cleverly keeps a moderate distance from humans, and she should do the same. Why is she so stupid?

After a brief stop, he tore the black cloth from her hand, and turned around with Lyle Meyer and Voldemort to the entrance to the next level of the maze.

Leaving Pomona, Felix and old Kritch in a safe place.

Her magic plants on the next floor are useless, and Transfiguration is useless, at least not yet.

"Why didn't you say anything to him?" Felix asked.

"I don't know what to say?" she said feebly.

Rather than being sensational, she needs a calm mind to think about strategies, but she can't calm down, her mind is full of messy thoughts.

Albus asked her, what are you thinking?

In fact, she didn't think about anything, so she is also one of the hopeless women, and she didn't resist the "bewitching", she has no right to criticize others.

Shakespeare said, O woman, thy name is weak.

She wanted to say that he was wrong, but what could she prove?
