Chapter 2760 Song of the Swan (8)

All animals know how to protect themselves, wild boars know how to use their tusks, bees know how to use stings, weak animals like rabbits know how to run away with agile legs, but animals like armadillos and hedgehogs know how to use their fangs when danger comes. When shrinking into a ball, it relies on thick splints and spines to resist foreign enemies.

It's fine if it's an ordinary animal, but if it encounters humans or dragons, then they are almost self-inflicted. It's hard to imagine that the bile of such animals is used as a raw material for the wisdom potion.

As Joannis said, as of 1802, the country of Romania did not exist on the world map. Around the 13th century, in order to resist the Mongols, the Hungarians began to establish an Orthodox country in Romania. This country needs to pay annual tribute to the Russian Principality, Tatars, and Mongols.

However, in the late 14th and early 15th centuries, the Ottomans came again. Over the next hundred years, the locals continued to resist the Turks in and around Wallachia.

In the church literature of the Middle Ages, "Romania" and "Wallach" appeared. Both terms refer to the Romanian region, but the former appears more often in the Holy See, while Wallach appears in the East.

Even if the Western Roman Church cannot organize the Crusades, it can still support Romania's secular rulers in the name of resisting pagans, but Romania is not just a vassal state. The entire country is bounded by the Carpathian Mountains, and most of it is occupied by Hungary. The leader of Transylvania continues to use the "Grand Duke" of the Roman era, and Hungary has always tried to annex Transylvania.

And Transylvania also has the Golden Seal of the Holy Roman Empire. If it is described in a simple and easy-to-understand way, it means that Russia, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Ottoman Sultan all have a foot in the situation in Romania. The Grand Duke is changed every three years.

Originally there was the Pope, but the Papal State was almost destroyed by Napoleon, so France also entered the table. The purpose of the two Romanian envoys who came to Europe was to let Napoleon come forward and "allow" them to elect the Grand Duke by themselves, or not to change every three years, and then tear each other down and support people who are close to their own faction.

Fire dragons are not golden retrievers, they can be raised in their own backyard, but this issue can be discussed later.

"Excuse me, what did you say?" Georgiana asked.

"My husband's brother, he seems to have a fylgia, and the shaman says there's nothing wrong with it, it's not malicious," Mrs Langenhorn said.

Lyla Black whistled a frivolous whistle, and Georgiana glared at her.

Resurrection can be roughly equivalent to a guardian angel. In Hebrew mythology, every country has one. Their main duty is to protect the country. In the Gospel of Matthew, three of the four guardian angels fell, except for the archangel Micah. Le.

Fylgia is the name of the Nordic side. They believe that animal souls can also play a protective role, but most of them are fierce animals like bears. Beowulf is a famous bear wizard. They are not like Harry's deer-shaped patron saint. So docile.

They can be angry and destructive, but not uncontrollable like werewolves, but Joannis didn't look like a bear at all just now.

He seemed to have changed completely, as if he had a dual personality.

"Does the double always appear at night?" Georgiana asked.

"Not always," said Mrs. Langenhorn. "Most of the time it's Batista."

"You call him Batista?" Lila Black asked.

"He insisted on doing that," said Mrs. Langenhorn, without looking annoyed.

"Aren't you worried?" Georgiana asked.

"My husband said it was just another brother, and they were great with the kids," Mrs Langenhorn said.

"I've seen an exorcism." Lila Black whispered in Georgiana's ear. "After an exorcism, people are almost finished."

"I've never seen a demon who directly reported his full name when he met." Georgiana said to Lila Black, "Do you think he is provocative?"

"Perhaps that's what he is, a haunted man," said Blake.

Peeves was also making a fuss, but it was different from the previous one.

"You can go," said Georgiana to Mrs. Langenhorn.

She made an unstandard curtsey and walked backwards out of the lounge.

"Now it's your turn." Georgiana looked at Black and said, "My knight, where do you come from?"

Lila Black stood up with a smile. "I'll see if Carter is hungry."

Then it disappeared in the next instant, probably by using a spell such as the Disillusionment Charm.

When she was left alone, a "photo" of a person appeared in her mind uncontrollably.

She forgot the man's real name, she only remembered his nickname, Rasputin the Monk, Prince Yusupov put highly poisonous cyanide in his food, but the poison did not occur, clamoring to see the prince Madame, later the prince shot him with a pistol many times, but he did not die. When his body was found, the autopsy showed that he died by drowning.

Generally, there are few people who live silently until the age of 10. Credence is an exception, because he is a member of the Phoenix Dumbledore family.

Pomona knew a young wizard from Romania, Felix Jan, and assuming he was as "immortal" as Rasputin, it would make sense for him to live to this age. But is it possible? A human-vampire hybrid? It's not a thriller romance movie.

This demon monk also left a "prophecy" that if he was killed by a commoner, then the prince would live for more than ten years, but if he was killed by a nobleman, then the prince would not have a few more years. Later, his prophecy came true, and the entire Romanov royal family, including Nicholas II, was executed within two years.

The last emperor of the Habsburg family, Karl I, abdicated voluntarily in the second year. When he left, he took a lot of jewelry, including the yellow diamond of the conqueror.

It is difficult to describe the misfortunes that this diamond brought to the European royal family, but one thing is for sure, every time it is born, it will bring about great changes, just like the towers of the Tarot cards, no matter how magnificent the building is, it will always change. shattered by a bolt of lightning.

She remembered that she hadn't used Tarot cards for a while, and she just wanted to ask the maid to get them, and then she remembered that she asked people not to disturb their conversation.

"Hey, what's the use of supporting you." She complained in a low voice, and went to find the tarot cards by herself.

From the Slavic fairy tales, it can be seen that the situation of the wizard there is not like in Western Europe. The evil queen is jealous of the princess's beauty, and either feeds her poisoned apples or curses on the spinning wheel to make her sleepy.

There are serious witch hunts in the mountains of the Alps, but there are many alchemists around the Holy Roman Emperor, especially Rudolf II, whose portrait can still be seen in the Louvre, composed of piles of fruits, vegetables and flowers.

In the 21st century, when Pomona visited Pomona, no one explained it. After arriving here, several professors from the Academy of Fine Arts surrounded her and said that Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s traditional works were not favored during the Renaissance. This ingenious style of painting is not just for innovation, but also implies the god of fruit in Roman mythology, Bacchus, who is also the god of fertility, drama, and madness.

During the Thirty Years' War, the Holy Roman Empire also suffered from drought and famine. People found large stones on the dry river bed and carved the water level at that time to alert the world.

The war has brought great disasters to the people from the very beginning, and the situation is getting worse day by day. Both sides in the war have no military discipline to speak of. It is safer to run into the forest with wild animals than to live in the village.

The Treaty of Westphalia seemed to end the War of Religion on the surface, but there was one core problem that remained unresolved.

Pomona found the tarot cards in the tea set, shuffled them on the table, rearranged them, and drew a card.

When she turned over, what she saw was not an emperor, pope, or lover, but a knight with a sword.

The War of Religion did not fundamentally solve the constitutional issue. The "Glorious Revolution" in Britain came after the War of Religion, while in France it was Louis XVI. It was not until Napoleon Catholicism became the main religion in France that the religious wars in the Western world really came to an end. a paragraph.

During the Reformation in the 16th century, due to ecclesiastical privileges, there was a power struggle between the secular rulers and the church. The loopholes in the Carolingian code allowed the secular to dictate to the Inquisition, the Inquisition... no, the Inquisition, Heretics, heretics, and wizards were all sent to the stake, except for one class of people, that is, alchemists.

Wars cost a lot of money. Even if Spain owned the gold and silver mines in Mexico at that time, they couldn’t stand it. The Netherlands paid half of the tax revenue for the Spanish Empire. Philip II imprisoned alchemists from Flemish, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Alchemy for Philip II in all the gardens of Madrid, Aranjuez, and Escriial.

"Lay your eggs, you stupid bird."

The giant said that to the hen that lays golden eggs, but alchemists are not capable of laying golden eggs. Later, Philip II used some Flemish winemakers who prepared perfume, wine and chemicals for the royal family. Despite the disapproval of the church and the strong protest of the clergy, the emperor continued to study with the little gold and silver left.

If these alchemists were just charlatans, their ears would not have been cut off.

These records are kept in the Escriial Library at a time when Paracelsusism was introduced into Spain. In Chapter 163 of Voltaire's Treatise on Manners, it is mentioned that "Philippe concocted a conspiracy in Béarn, France, in 1564, to take Jeanne de Navarre, the mother of King Henry IV of France, to and her youngest son, and delivered her as a heretic to the Inquisition, to burn her, and to confiscate her according to the confiscation of property made by this homicide court, part of this conspiracy is found in Book 36 of the Inquisitor Teu records, this incident was completely ignored by later historians".

As the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Philip II ordered the doctors to eliminate the elements of Parsesian heresy and publish them. However, most of Paracelsus' works were not published during his lifetime due to the doctor's obstruction. This was partly because he taught in German, not Latin, which was a violation of the Hippocratic Oath.

The strength and heroism of a man needs to be set off by the weakness of a woman. Only a woman who faints at every turn and needs smelling salts to wake her up is considered cute.

She put down the card and planned to find information about the Thirty Years' War and the formation of the Westphalian system. But not long after she walked out of the lounge, she saw Matilda talking and laughing with Jim White, the English lawyer who killed the Viscount by mistake.

She lost 100,000 bets because she beat the "jet devil" and won, but the steam engine lost to the horse, and the 100,000 francs were gone in one fell swoop.

Georgiana chose to turn a blind eye, and she suffered too much for being nosy?
