Chapter 3464 Water Garden (Part 1)

If you look closely at the Duke's Courtyard, you will see some arched windows close to the ground, which are used for drainage.

However, in Leonardo da Vinci's manuscript, Georgiana saw the existence of the "water diversion channel". She had not thought about it until she arrived at the Sforza Castle and found that the castle in the manuscript was exactly the same as the outer wall of the Sforza Castle.

The function of the water diversion channel can be used to prevent floods, divert river water, and keep the water level constant. It can also be a dock. When floods come, the floods can be discharged from the water diversion channel, and when there is drought, the water in the water diversion channel can replenish water.

"I said why the water in the canal can never flood those windows." Georgiana looked at the water in the "water diversion channel" and said that it would be much easier to transport food and grass by boat.

"There are stairs here." Grando turned around and said to them, "Do you want to go up and take a look?"

Georgina and Simon followed together. The stairs were not long, and they soon reached the weapon storage room.

Milanese armor has always been famous. In other European countries, only nobles can wear it. However, in Milan, mercenaries can also wear it. There is a mark of Missalia on the armor, which is the mark of the armor manufacturer that was all over the streets and alleys of Milan at that time.

The left hand of Milanese armor is called the "shield hand" because the left side is made particularly thick to better protect the heart.

Pomona saw many equestrian sculptures of mercenary captains in Venice, which looked no different from the equestrian sculptures of the king.

Although Machiavelli said that mercenaries had no loyalty, they also wanted to leave traces of their existence in the city they guarded.

Sforza once asked Leonardo da Vinci to make an oversized bronze equestrian statue of himself, but Leonardo da Vinci seemed to have forgotten the original intention of the customer and devoted himself to studying horses. However, Sforza did not slow down the speed of collecting bronze.

Milanese plates don't need bronze, ... If a girl goes out with an artilleryman and he says something that makes no sense, like "the cannon is my sword", she will know that the Spanish Reconquista in 1490 was coming to an end, and the Battle of Granada was of great military significance. This war was fought in mountainous terrain, not a field battle dominated by knights, and cannons replaced catapults and became the protagonists on the battlefield.

Even mercenaries can be military strategists.

Sforza used the bronze to cast countless cannons, and at least sixty of them are displayed here. They are not large in caliber and are covered with verdigris.

They may not have been used, because Ludovico's nephew died suddenly in 1494.

This room is not very large. In addition to the stairs just now, there is also an upward slope with stone slabs on it, so that the cannons on wheels can be pushed out.

They walked up the slope and pushed open the trapdoor to a spacious underground passage.

Leonardo da Vinci had planned the city. Cars, horses or other means of transportation were not allowed on the higher streets. Only people with status were allowed to walk. Carriages or trucks that transported daily necessities for residents should pass through the lower streets.

If the upper part was a park for residents to walk, then this passage was built according to Leonardo da Vinci's plan. She also saw a pile of dried horse manure on the roadside.

It can be washed into the diversion channel below through a window. The passage itself is not high, but it is in a certain proportion to the width, so it does not make people feel depressed.

This passage is not long. After a while, they arrived at the "stable". Leonardo da Vinci once designed an automatic feeding trough for Sforza. Now it should be out of order, and the belt has been rotten and broken.

They walked in along the passage between the stables and found a spacious room after pushing open a door. It might be used to store horse feed, but the plants have been stored for many years and have become moldy and black.

Grando took two deep breaths of air.

"It smells a bit, but it doesn't seem to be this smell."

The spring water gushing out from the well of "rotten water" smells more "rich", and she thinks it smells more "fresh".

"Squeak".

The movement from the corner attracted their attention. It turned out that a group of mice noticed someone coming and were running away.

"Oh~" She couldn't help but want to vomit.

If the mice died, they would indeed emit such a smell, and the key is that people still drink that kind of water...

"Follow." Simon said, and actually followed the mice.

Georgina wanted to go back again, but she cast a bubble head spell on herself, so at least the musty smell was not so strong.

Although the teeth of mice can bite cement, they have no way to granite. They can only drill holes dug by humans.

The Sforza Castle uses bricks on the ground, but such solid stone is used underground.

She thought about it and understood it.

Napoleon supported the silk industry in Lyon, but he only wore the uniform of a major of the hunting cavalry all year round. It was a painful job to be his clothing consultant.

Florence mined marble, and Michelangelo used it to carve David. There are not many marble sculptures in Sforza's castle, but more murals and oil paintings.

Milan Cathedral used a lot of stone. Since the current Milan was rebuilt by Maria Theresa according to neoclassicism, Giorgione can only see the scenery of Milan in the past from paintings. The city, like many cities in the Renaissance, uses red bricks.

But Milan is so close to the Alps, how could it not use materials?

The stone used to protect the city's outer walls is very difficult to dismantle.

It was impossible for anyone to get through that passage, but there was obviously space behind the wall.

Just when Georgiana was about to use the blasting spell to blow open the wall, Grando discovered something unusual.

"This is not something modern, it was left behind by the Romans." Grando looked at the writing on the wall and said, "It's Latin."

"It's also possible that it was carved by someone who knew Latin." Simon said.

"No, these carvings are old. They can't be from hundreds of years ago." Grando took a half step back. "Could these passages be linked to the ancient Roman passages?"

"There should be other exits." Georgiana said. "Marco couldn't pass the stairs we just came up."

So they went back to look for the horse's passage, but after searching for a long time, they found no one leading to the ground except the entrance to the underground passage.

"Go and have a look in the other room," Simon said.

As soon as they went out, a large metal net fell above their heads. Georgiana reacted quickly and walked behind to avoid it. Grando was almost caught, but Simon was not so lucky. He was completely covered by the net, and There was also a huge force pulling him.

Georgiana immediately used a cutting spell to tear the net apart, and Simon also took the opportunity to break free from the net.

"Who!" Grando yelled, taking out his pistol.

Georgiana doubted how powerful this disposable matchlock gun was, but she still looked in the direction Grando was aiming, and saw a black shadow flashing around the corner.

They chased after him. It was a "blacksmith shop" that seemed to shoe horses.

There are traces of use here. There is a large pot on the low stove, and a fire is lit under the pot. The heat rising from the pot shows colorful colors.

She thought of Severus, who would not leave the cauldron while the potion was brewing.

When they got closer to the crucible, they discovered that the colorful smoke was not real smoke, but some illusion.

Grindelwald's puff of "water pipe" allowed the wizards to see the "future" and made them believe that if wizards ruled the world, they would prevent Muggles from destroying the world.

Godric's Hollow was just a rural area, and Petunia didn't want to stay there for a minute longer.

At home in Godric's Hollow, Arianna is attacked.

Dumbledore chose education over war, and did not use a time-turner to go back to the day of the accident.

"Do you think education can really change a person?" Georgiana asked Grando. "If you believe that, why do you invest money to support the war?"

"Do you remember what I told you, people who execute wills lead a heavy life? Sometimes people are like this. They take everything they get for granted and never think about giving something back." Grando said.

This is what she thinks is cute about the children in Hogwarts. They are very polite. When they visit the sick Harry, they will bring gifts such as Bibi's Multi-flavor beans to the hospital wing, so that when Harry wakes up, he will see Mountains of candy.

Harry was happy, even though he had already eaten those sweets with Ron on the Hogwarts Express. Because he has never received it, he is sensitive enough to feel even a little bit of love.

When we are young, we think love can bring happiness.

It’s hard to imagine that such lines appeared in the script of “Whip of God”.

"Let's go, I think the warning is enough." Georgiana said, "Even if you want others to move, you can't be too anxious."

"It's time to give him some compensation." Grando immediately said loudly, "Give me a new place to live."

No one answered.

Then they left the same way they came.

Although this is not a private residence, it is best not to trespass.
