Chapter 3495 The Terrifying Sound (Part 3)
Chapter 7 of the Book of Kings tells the story of King Solomon building the temple. After the main body of the temple was built, he ordered a coppersmith named Roland to make a "copper sea", which can be understood as a huge cup made of copper. Its purpose was to hold sacrificial bathing water.
Ancient alchemy can be roughly divided into the occult period, the philosophical period and practical alchemy, and Alexander the Great was the founder of "practical alchemy". At this time, alchemy was not aimed at making gold. Ancient Greek currency was mainly silver coins. Transformation was the main purpose of alchemy in the Alexander period.
Despite being protected by Dumbledore, the three Gryffindor warriors were still punished by Minerva for confinement. What they had to do was to help Filch clean up the increasing number of foxy eggs in the school.
If these eggs hatched in winter, they seemed to be planning to occupy Hogwarts. After two days of cleaning, Kettleburn felt that this was not a solution. They had to find the queen of foxy. What was worse was that there seemed to be more than one queen of foxy in the castle.
Minerva organized a student union to check whether students secretly brought vixens, Cornish goblins, etc. into school to practice spells. Even if it is a last resort, it is better to make up for it.
In the advanced potion making, it is described how to brew a vixen killer, but it has limited lethality to vixen eggs. There is a layer of black eggshell on the outside of the egg. This eggshell can be used in transformation potions, such as the waist-binding potion. Drinking it can have a thin waist like a dragonfly.
Thin waist is a side effect of the waist-binding potion. Its main function is to prolong endurance. When it was invented, the corset fashion had come to an end, but it was still sold as a beauty potion.
Jig teaches children not to limit themselves to wands when defending against the dark arts, such as red hats. If you encounter it, you can press it into the "beautification potion" because they are repelled by certain ingredients.
If you encounter a group of red caps, you can dilute the venom of the crested bat into rainwater like Scamander did, and sprinkle the beauty potion on the red caps. If you can't find the thunderbird, you can use the wind to blow the potion into tiny water droplets.
In addition, if you really want to explore the ancient battlefield, try to choose the breeding season of the red caps. During this period, they are less dangerous because they are more interested in attacking each other than dealing with invaders on their territory.
However, the response to Jig's class was not enthusiastic. Many people actually regarded the Defense Against the Dark Arts class as a practical class for the spell class. Why do they have to learn so much in this class?
He didn't force the students. He did give special training to the young wizards who were about to participate in the potion competition as Pomona expected. All they had to do was to deal with the potion of wood lice and fox charmer.
This semester was inexplicably busy, and then in a blink of an eye, Halloween was coming.
The performance program for Halloween this year was the Banshee Choir. They had to cooperate with the Frog Choir... God knows how they would cooperate?
"Professor."
Pomona looked at the voice and found that it was Bill Weasley.
"Professor Jig asked me to ask you to go to the classroom." Bill said.
"Did he say anything?" Pomona asked.
Bill shrugged and walked away as if nothing had happened.
She glanced at Bill's back, then took off her dragon leather gloves and went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
When she arrived, Jig was not alone, Snape was there too.
He stood with great majesty, his hands folded across his chest, so that the whole person was like a demon.
Jig calmly sorted out the students' homework on the table, as if the "demon" did not exist.
"Can I ask you a question?" Jig smiled at Pomona.
"Please go ahead." She smiled and answered.
"Please tell me the difference between disendium and separation." Jig asked.
Both spells are "separation", the difference is that disendium is for objects, such as the witch statue leading to the secret passage of Honeydukes in Hogsmeade, you have to say disendium to it to reveal the entrance.
"Separatio means death, which is the decomposition of the body." Pomona said, "Like Osiris, his body was divided into several pieces by Set."
"Don't you think this is dark magic?" Jig asked.
This is actually one of the dark magics commonly used by Death Eaters. Not everyone is keen on the Unforgivable Curse.
"I think dark magic is used in the right way..."
"I told him that Transfiguration can also be used for curses, but he didn't believe it." Snape interrupted Pomona and smiled at Jig, "It seems that he doesn't believe that someone would do that."
Pomona didn't want to mention this. Phoebe changed a lot after that incident. She was no longer interested in plush toys and was not so close to her twin sister.
Fred and George Weasley seemed to be connected, and nothing could separate them.
"I didn't discuss this with you. You are going to Durmstrang. Do you plan to use dark magic to fight dark magic?" Jig asked sternly.
"We are going to participate in the competition, not to duel. Do you think we will definitely take action in Durmstrang?" Snape asked without giving in.
"You shouldn't take your godson with you, he's a trouble." Jigg asked.
"I don't think an innocent child can cause any trouble." Snape said.
Pomona felt that Draco Malfoy might be an "innocent child", but that didn't mean he wouldn't cause trouble.
"Why are you so stubborn!" Jig cursed.
Snape looked down at Jig motionlessly, like a stone statue.
—————————————————————————————————
The last time Georgiana came to Lake Como was during the day, the lake was clear blue, and the mountains were emerald green.
This time she came to Lake Como at night, the moonlight sprinkled on the lake, it was sparkling, the emerald green mountains turned into dark blue, and Melzi's villa was located on the lakeside.
Lake Como has been a resort for dignitaries since ancient Roman times, and many ancient Roman ruins can be seen here. There is a road next to the villa. It was opened during the reign of Augustus to Switzerland. There are several stone statues at the entrance of Villa Melzi, but they are not facing the entrance, but facing Lake Como.
If you come by boat, there is a pier, and the stone pillars on the pier look like giant candles.
The villa was full of various plants. Some of the old trees looked at least hundreds of years old, as if they had been there before the castle was built. There were also many oleanders, and the pink flowers were almost touching the lake.
Whether it was the French garden or the Italian garden of Chiconyala, there were obvious traces of artificial design. Villa Melzi was integrated with Lake Como. She couldn't believe that she was going to live in this place.
"Come down." Bougainville stood outside the car door and stretched out his hand to Georgiana.
She took Bougainville's hand and got out of the car, and continued to look at the surrounding scenery.
"Do you think this looks like the Aegean Sea?" Lorbon asked behind her.
She didn't know whether Lorbon was asking her or Bougainville.
"It does." Bougainville looked around, "Any sea, when it's calm."
After nightfall, the mountain breeze was still a little cold when it blew on the body, after all, Lake Como was a glacial lake.
But there was no sound of waves here.
"This place is so beautiful." Georgiana said briskly to Lorbon and Bougainville, and then walked towards the villa.
The ground was paved with stones, and the sound made by stepping on them was clear.
She suddenly had a strange idea. If the Villa Melzi was moved to Elba, would Bonaparte still flee?
Then she smiled bitterly and shook her head.
The moment before, she was still thinking that it was impolite to come to someone else's house without being invited, but now she was thinking about moving someone else's house away.
This strange idea should be put away.
