Chapter 1129

Almost every country participating in the Quidditch World Cup has stadiums large enough to accommodate spectators from all over the world. When the Quidditch World Cup was held in England in 1994, Ministry of Magic staff started work a year early in order to accommodate 100,000 spectators.

Fudge wanted to use this grand event to dilute the negative impact of Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban, but after the game, the Death Eaters' commotion made his plans come to nothing. Since then, the security of the Quidditch World Cup has become stricter. The 2006 World Cup was held in France. According to the French wizarding newspaper Arcanus, in view of the recent frequent activities of various rights movements, the French Ministry of Magic Aurors and security personnel will be recruited this year in preparation for next year's event.

Pomona put down the newspaper and looked at the weather vane on the roof of the manor not far away, which was spinning rapidly.

Now she is in the Loire Valley not far from Paris. There is a saying that to appreciate the complete French style, you only need to go to two places, one is Paris and the other is the Loire Valley. Paris represents the romantic and avant-garde side of France, while the Loire Valley is the quiet and classical back garden of France. There are many small hills on both sides of the river, and the ancient castle is hidden in the green trees, mysterious and quiet, just like the works of Monet.

This winery is the property of the Malfoy family. Lucius handed over the management of the winery to a few Muggles, and the manor temporarily stays when traveling. There are almost no people at ordinary times. Now Pomona, Severus, Felix, Fiona, Kreacher, and a pile of injured roaches live in it.

Under the guidance of Felix, the basilisk Saturn left the maze from the underground waterway. At present, it was sent to a secret space by Severus, and fell into a deep sleep together with Aragorn and other captured basilisks.

There was no mention in the newspapers of various European countries about the fierce fighting that took place in Palo Alto two days ago, only that there was a wildfire in the Alps, and wizards assisted Muggles to put it out.

Xenophilius once said that the International Federation of Wizards suspected that Palodo had a relationship with Grindelwald. Although Grindelwald was already a "passed idol", the riots and panic he caused back then were world-class. In contrast, his influence in the UK is not as great as Voldemort, and even quite a few wizards in the UK are in favor of exposing the wizarding world. After all, in their view, Muggles have become different from the past.

Since steam engines replaced sails as the source of power for ocean-going ships, the power of wind has been ignored by humans.

At the beginning of the Trojan War, the army led by Agamemnon encountered a terrible storm, they lost their way, and finally had to return to the port of Aulis where they started. Many people went home because of this, even Agamemnon. There was always a headwind on the sea during the second expedition, because Artemis, the goddess of hunting, hated Agamemnon for killing the goddess' deer. Later, the prophet told Agamemnon that he could only sacrifice his daughter Iphige. Nia as a sacrifice, the goddess will forgive the Greeks.

Agamemnon loved this daughter very much. He would rather give up the expedition than sacrifice her. Later, he was persuaded, and finally agreed, and sent envoys to Mycenae to deceive his wife that Iphigenia was going to marry Aglio. Engaged.

It didn't take long for him to regret it, and sent a second messenger to tell his wife the truth, but the second messenger was intercepted.

For the "hero" who is full of achievements, the death of the king's daughter doesn't bother him at all. He just wants to go to Troy quickly and conquer that city. Agamemnon is accused of infidelity, and Iphigenia arrives when the quarrel occurs.

With his beloved daughter on one side and the army eager to embark on the journey, Agamemnon was in a dilemma. Agamemnon's wife prayed to Agrus to protect Iphigenia. At this time, the army knew about it and started a commotion. In order to avoid mutiny, Agamemnon had to agree to sacrifice his daughter. At this time, Agrus, who promised to protect the princess, stepped forward to prevent others from sacrificing Iphigenia. Just when the sword was on the verge of breaking out, Iphigenia prayed for self-sacrifice and persuaded Agrus not to protect her. .

She walked to the altar alone, and thousands of soldiers watched her silently. Calchas, the prophet and priest, took out the sacrificial sword and handed it to Iphigenia. After the girl took the sword, he shouted the name of the goddess and prayed for a smooth journey. Slit his throat.

But the blood did not spurt from Iphigenia's neck, and the goddess replaced the sacrificed maiden with a red doe. The merciful goddess of the hunt took Iphigenia to the shore of Taulos, and told her to do Priestess of her own temple, meanwhile the sea had a favorable wind, and the Greeks set out again.

Women don't understand the war that men love, and Pomona doesn't lose her ability to think when she sees the "hero" Jason like Medea, but she still does stupid things like thousands of idiots in the world. Sun Gold is given to the least deserving people in this world.

It takes pure desire to activate the time-turner. Little Hermione just wants to save time and read more books, but she doesn't realize that her own lifespan will still be lost by doing so. Who would sacrifice her precious life for knowledge like her?

Pomona didn't know if Voldemort would use it as a secret weapon after obtaining the sun gold. The time-turner is so small that it shouldn't take much gold, so she should be in trouble, but as long as Voldemort can't find the flame He can't be revived.

She put the wizarding world newspaper on the bench and began to flip through the Muggle newspaper. Although the "Daily Prophet" is named "Prophet", it does not publish a daily horoscope column like a Muggle newspaper. .

Even in the 21st century, the belief in astrology is hard to overthrow. Many people are keen on "star chasing", eager to predict their own destiny through the position and movement of the sun, moon and stars.

Astrology requires a huge knowledge system, and remembering the position of each star is just an introduction, which is different from "predicting" by looking at the phantom in the crystal ball.

The piece of wood taken out of the maze is a horoscope board, "Rubeus Hagrid's Ancestor" does not seem to have finished it, it does not have the ability to predict the future, but is just an annoying piece, often warning people who are close to it "If you want to be playful again, you will do what you want" It's just a broken plank.

Severus almost set it ablaze and used it as firewood. The palm-sized buckler had the same consciousness as the metal man, and it could automatically defend itself without the wizard's order. Consciousness is the biggest difference between Homculus and the corpse summoned by Transfiguration and black magic. It can fight, defend and other behaviors by itself, and does not need a wizard to issue orders to guide it personally. When it wants to punch it, order it Throw your punches, you need to dodge when you want to dodge. The stone piers were not as sensitive as metal. When facing giants, they were crushed into ashes by giants who were equally slow but a little faster than them.

Although the metal man is taller than a human being, he is still smaller than a giant. If he is entangled by such a small "little thing" with high agility and high attack power, even if the giant's neck is cut off, he will die. Medieval wizards hunted down giants In the eyes of modern wizards, it is unimaginable, but as long as you understand the mystery, you don't think it is a "miracle".

Severus was still working on the plain looking shirt at the manor at the moment, nothing special about it other than the old style. However, both the invisibility cloak and Jason's golden robe have magical functions. The invisibility cloak is regarded as a deathly Hallows, while Jason's golden robe is used by Medea as a murder tool. The golden robe that Ah Song gave her for safekeeping was soaked with deadly potion and given to Jason's bride.

After Jason got the Golden Fleece, he still didn't get the throne, even though he used insidious tricks, but he still gave up the crown to his uncle's son. He obviously liked the new and hated the old because of Medea's old age, but he told Medea that he was thinking of their children. He lied to her that by marrying the daughter of King Corinthus, their children would inherit Corinthus.

Jason was originally a loser who had nothing and expected to regain the throne by obtaining the Golden Fleece. It was Medea who helped him complete the test and achieved success, but now he plans to send her with a sum of money and give her to his friends to take her in, just like he forgot that Medea was once a princess of a country, Just an ordinary civilian woman.

Medea smiled and said to Jason: "Well, in the future you can take the children back and let them live with the stepmother. The new marriage will bring happiness to you and your children, and I will be happy because of it." happiness."

Then she said to her children, "Come, kiss your father, and forgive him, as I have forgiven him."

Jason believed it was true, and couldn't help being overjoyed, and made various guarantees to Medea and the children. Medeayi's sweeter words convinced him that she no longer hated him. Then she took the precious golden robe from her storeroom, and gave it to Jason, to give it as a present to the bride.

The innocent girl was so happy when she saw the beautiful golden robe, she put it on greedily and impatiently, but soon she became pale, her limbs convulsed, and finally she rolled her eyes and died foaming at the mouth . The garland she wore on her head burst into flames, sizzling her young and beautiful flesh.

When King Corinthus arrived, his daughter had been burned to ashes. The desperate king picked up his daughter and was poisoned to death by the poison in the golden robe. The dream of stealing the throne and beauties in a way naturally came to nothing.

He returned home in a rage, wanting to avenge the young bride and himself, but he heard the screams of the children.

He ran to find his sons lying in a pool of blood, murdered like tribute.

It turned out that Medea, who was in despair, did not really forgive Jason. She prayed to the god of death and the goddess of justice in her heart, hoping that they would give divine punishment and destroy him and his young lover.

She sacrificed herself, her child, and the Golden Fleece that Jason took so hard to win to the God of Death. If anyone wants the Golden Fleece, he must take it from Hades, the king of the underworld.

So, could the invisibility cloak passed down from the Potter family and the shirt Severus was examining now be made of the Golden Fleece?

On the other side of the bench sat an old man with a white beard in a dreadful star robe, as if he had never really left.

"He said that you can't really leave until we all forget about you." Pomona said, "Is it because you are the master of Death, so Death can't force you to leave like everyone else?"

It's like equal friends.

The wind blew the newspaper on her lap, turning over and over in the astrology column, which reminded me of the noisy horoscope board, and the prophecies.

There is no woman in the prophecy about the "boy born in July", so are there any women like Lily Potter in the other prophecies that do not involve women?

Judging from the results, the Dark Lord was not defeated by Harry Potter, but a stupid woman who sacrificed for love, which is why Voldemort wanted the prophecy ball.

The date shown in the newspaper was June 19, 2005, a full 10 years since the Battle of the Ministry of Magic.

Today happens to be Father's Day, and the summer solstice is two days away, and that day happens to be the full moon again, and once again in January, the day when werewolves bite people everywhere.

"Should I remind him that it's time to go back to England?" asked Pomona.

She looked to the side, and the old wizard who had been sitting there was gone, just like he had done on the chocolate frog card.

"It seems that we are alike in that we both miss the dead." Pomona smiled and shook her head, put away the newspapers, and walked towards the manor with a vegetable basket.

The four seasons are like an endless circle. If anyone has nothing to do, he can record the length of the shadow of the sun at noon every day, and install a nail at the center and circumference of the circle.

From the summer solstice to the winter solstice, record the shadow length of the iron nail in the center of the circle, and from the winter solstice to the summer solstice, record the shadow length of the iron nail in the circumference, as long as these shadow length curves are connected, a mysterious symbol will be obtained.

While a quiet library is great for reading, just the slightest bit of noise can be distracting, as opposed to a place that is constantly noisy and full of concentration.

Anyway, the surrounding area is already so noisy, no matter how you tell them to be quiet, no one will listen, so you might as well concentrate on your own business.

The principle behind Great Hiding in the City is that simple.

I don’t know if Nick LeMay had contact with the wizards of the East during his seclusion in Paris. This time they withdrew from the Quidditch World Cup qualifiers due to the Indonesian tsunami and did not enter the top 16. I hope to see them qualify in the next event.
