Chapter 2835

When the South Sea Bubble occurred in the early 18th century, Paul de La Mery's career was on the rise. If it was because he was an apprentice goldsmith at the beginning, then after he had his own mark and his own studio, he could use the gold and silver to buy stocks.

After the outbreak, many people want some good things, such as gold and silverware and luxury goods. The early works of Paul de la Mery were in the style of Queen Anne, which actually looked very luxurious, but the Rococo style was more in line with the wishes of customers who were influenced by French culture.

Silver spoons have been around since the 14th century and are used as baptism gifts for babies, usually as tokens from godfathers to godchildren. Therefore, "born with silver spoons in their mouths" is often used as a metaphor for the proud son of heaven.

During the South Sea Bubble, the British Industrial Revolution had not yet started, and there were not many ways to make money, but as long as you were willing to take the risk of going to the colonies, you could still find a chance to make a fortune.

After becoming famous, Paul allowed some unfamous silversmiths to sell their works in his name. These unmarked silver products can no longer tell whether they are sterling silver. Paul was also accused by the Goldsmith Hall for this.

But a son is a long-term investment, and you don't know if he'll grow up to be as cute as he was when he was a kid, or Barty Crouch Jr., or run away like Sirius Blake. In Paul's will, his apprentices will inherit his mantle, his partners will take over the company, and outsiders will be in charge of his stocks and account books.

After Ben Cooper repaired the puppet, it first performed a ballet. This kind of ballet was not as soft and beautiful as the ballet people saw. After all, ballet, equestrianism, and swordsmanship were all necessary skills for gentlemen in that era.

In short, it might be that being a little puppet was boring. Paul tried to persuade Barnaby to let him change to a bigger body. Barnaby tried to delay him, and then asked the professors what to do.

Raignac I wanted to keep the sword of Gryffindor for himself after forging it, so he pretended that Gryffindor had stolen it from him and sent a group of subjects to retrieve it. But Gryffindor, being a skilled duelist, repelled them all and bewitched the party of goblins to go back and tell Raignac that if he did something like this again, he would use This sword kills him and all his subjects.

600 years later, there was a rumor in the goblin world that the wizard wanted the goblin to sign a contract like the house elf and obey the wizard. All goblins who refuse to take on such a role are killed by the wielder of the sword of Gryffindor. Since the Sword of Gryffindor was at Hogwarts at the time, the goblins planned to dig tunnels to "get back" their sword and kill any possible holders of the sword. It was only because of the timely discovery of the school teacher that the goblin's plan was stopped.

Barnaby's physique is not inferior to that of a football player. The key is that he is more flexible and can be a quarterback. In short, what Dumbledore meant was that while Paul was "guiding" Barnaby, Pomona took Paul's puppet and asked Ollivander to identify what material it was made of.

For the sake of prudence, Albus thought it would be done after Paul let down his guard, but after knowing the plan, Severus took the doll and Ben to find Ollivander as soon as Paul "leaved".

Ben's role is to take that puppet that makes people feel uncomfortable. Maybe it was because I was too shocked, I was dumbfounded the whole time.

Pomona wasn't much better, she had to follow orders.

It turned out that the puppet was made of walnut, and what looked like a wig was actually a troll's beard, which went through the center of the walnut like a wand core.

In other words, what looks like a puppet is actually a magic wand. There is a special relationship between wizards and wands, such as the fact that the laurel will only be loyal to the first owner, even spontaneously lightning strikes when someone else tries to steal it.

Witches and wizards who use walnut wands are known to be a clever material, and they also like to be chosen by innovators and inventors. However, this kind of wood is difficult to control. Once conquered, it recognizes that the master has enough talent, and it can complete any task the master wants it to complete.

There is a ballet called The Nutcracker, and the toy is made of basswood and is a popular Christmas gift. In the 15th century, the Germans made walnut-clamping tools into the shape of dolls. Their mouths could be opened, and walnuts were put in the doll's mouth, and then the joystick was manipulated to close the doll's mouth and crush the nutcrackers. .

Later, a kind of ventriloquist appeared. They would hold this kind of doll and let it open and close its mouth. Since the voices of the doll and the ventriloquist were completely different, it looked like two people were talking.

In fact, this kind of performance existed in ancient Egypt, but it was used in religious ceremonies. People believed that puppets controlled by priests who knew ventriloquism conveyed the will of God.

They returned the puppet before Barnaby finished training, and soon Paul was back on the puppet's body, and they found Barnaby beaten all over his body in an empty classroom.

"He told me to tell you that my classmates did it," said Barnaby dryly, "and let me name whoever did it."

"You want to do what he says?" Severus asked.

"If I don't do what he says, he'll think I'm disobedient, and if I do what he says, he'll think I'm obedient, but then one person will be framed," Barnaby said.

"Do you really mean that, or are you trying to get revenge on someone?" Severus asked.

Barnaby stared at Severus with a defiant look.

"Let me guess who you want to name," Severus said with a smile.

"I've named him, will you deal with him?" Barnaby asked provocatively, "Or just let it go?"

Severus stopped smiling.

"Go to the school hospital," Pomona said.

Barnaby followed her.

Then there were rumors in the school that someone had done something to Barnaby. The bruises all over his body were evidence, but it was not said who did it.

There are whispers in every corner, guessing who the "murderer" is, and the suspect is staring back fiercely at those eyes.

In fact, it’s understandable if you think about it. Paul is good at making marionettes. He doesn’t need to leave the body of the puppet and attach himself to a big dummy.

He did it on purpose.

As a court puppet, he certainly knew that most women at that time did not like knights who were good at holding spears and riding duels as much as noble ladies in the Middle Ages.

At balls, banquets, private parties, and public receptions, who would say no to someone who is suave, witty, and courteous, with a ruddy, handsome face set off by a delicate shirt?

But Paul found these boring, and he came to the world of wizards. Pomona doesn't know how old he was when he died. Everyone will die, including the mysterious person who pursues eternal life, but he is probably in his thirties now. If he died in his thirties, how did he die? Died of a tedious disease, like his father?

She wouldn't be overwhelmed with wanting to play this game with Paul. She had read the "love guide" of that era, and she hadn't been deceived just the same.

Laurel will only be loyal to its first owner, even spontaneously lightning strikes when someone else tries to steal it.

She shouldn't have thought so much about a man whose birthday flower was laurel.

Back in the greenhouse, she looked at the bubble pods she'd planted, and they were all over the place, just as they had shown in Erised's mirror.

But she knew very well in her heart that these were not the first ones she planted, and the first bubble pods were already dead.

That mirror only gives people dreams that cannot be realized. It can't even tell a few lies like a divination mirror, so that people standing in front of the mirror have a common goal.

There was nothing inside, not even raising the academy cup together, obviously there were many boys standing in front, and they could see themselves holding the academy cup.

At this time, she smelled a smell of sage. She followed the smell and found a small box next to the flower pot.

She walked over and picked up the card on it. The font on it was easy to read, and Snape's handwriting was always better than others.

"This is your birthday present," he wrote.

Pomona opened the box, and there were two bottles of potions, one red and one green.

It can be seen from the above trademark that it is the rejuvenation potion and rejuvenation potion sold by Toots. Only six drops of this potion are needed, and three drops of rejuvenation potion can restore the dead plants to health.

Taking advantage of no one, she cried hard until her eyes were red from crying.

If someone sees her, she must think she is stupid, and that's right, how can a fool play a game played by smart people?
