Chapter 683: Nero's Banquet

The Alps are a summer resort for herders, with fertile pastures perfect for grazing cows and sheep.

An altitude of 2,000 meters is not considered high in XZ, and altitudes above 2,000 meters in the Alps are high altitudes. Most tourists will live in hotels at the foot of the mountain. It is used for aquatic plants.

With more and more people hiking in the Alps, except for some very primitive wooden houses, some "cabins" can already accommodate hundreds of people, for people who travel at high altitudes to stay fast, and don't have to look for them at night after watching the sunset. The shelter went down the hill.

There are only cable cars and helicopters that lead to these log cabins. Of course, they are not the same as those "log cabin villas" built by the rich in the Alps. There are no toilets, bathrooms, let alone food and bedding, unless they encounter When it comes to mountain disasters, most people will not live in a house that has no comfort at all except that it is strong.

People in the mountains regard tourism as their main business, and animal husbandry has become a sideline. Some huts built by herdsmen who are not close to the roadside are abandoned. Pomona chose a simple wooden hut surrounded by gentian flowers as their place to spend the night. place.

The gentian in the Alps is the same as the chamaejasma aconitum, which is jumping blue. Its flowering season is after May and before snowfall. It is so cold now that it will not bloom, but magic can solve this problem, so Xiao There is a sea of ​​blue flowers in front of the wooden house.

The majestic snow-capped mountains and the delicate flowers complement each other, creating a fantastic beauty. The fatigue after climbing the mountain...has not diminished at all.

Fortunately, this dilapidated log cabin was not very dirty. The dust that had accumulated over ten years was gone after the snot-nosed man had cleaned it up. Few Tibetan Buddhist items, they had seen these things in XZ before, but they didn’t expect to see them again when they arrived in Switzerland. For a moment, she almost confused where she was.

"What do you think?" Snotlite asked.

"Not too bad." She surveyed the bedroom. "We're going to pitch a tent in the house, I'm afraid."

"I'm going to set up defenses, and you set up tents." He turned and left after he finished speaking. Obviously, the sleeping bag was just a whim, and he still likes to sleep on the bed.

The advantage of being a wizard is this, you don't have to carry a big backpack like other climbers.

While humming, she set up the travel tent. Many people had this experience when they were young. There was a secret fortress in their room. It looked like a tent. People see secrets.

The town at the foot of the mountain was still well stocked with supplies. Fortunately, she was resourceful enough to buy a lot of food, a large mixed meat platter, which contained grilled sausages, beef tongue and lamb shoulder, and when she needed to eat meat on a cold winter night Very enjoyable.

The Swiss are used to keeping a fish in their daily main course. The French area is used to making fragrant fish soup, while the German area likes fried fish. Lake Brienz is called the left eye of God, and the picture next to it Lake En is the right eye of God. Between the two lakes is Interlaken, which means between the two lakes in Latin. Grindelwald is much less famous than it is, and there are far fewer people, which is just suitable for people like them who like to live alone.

She also carries a dozen cans of German beer in her pocket, perfect for drinking straight or making butter beer.

Then there is pastrami, which is Ron's least favorite food, and that greedy little guy actually has something he doesn't eat.

If a person is extremely hungry, whatever he eats will taste the best, and if he is full, no matter what he eats, he will feel normal.

Why were they so embarrassed when they were evading the Death Eaters?

Pomona lit the fireplace in the tent with her wand and cooked the food in the kitchen.

In fact, they went to XZ that time and they were also very embarrassed. She never thought that altitude sickness would have such a big impact on casting spells.

The sky and the Jungfraujoch were dyed a light pink by the setting sun, as lovely as a girl's cheeks.

When dinner was ready, Severus returned, startled when he got into the magic tent.

"Did you forget that Hufflepuff hosted all the banquets at Hogwarts?" She placed the mixed meat platter on a gold plate next to the flower basket, which still contained gentian.

"What are you doing?" he asked in surprise.

"You asked me for a reward, and here it is." She walked over, took his hand, sat down on a Greek lounge chair, and let him lie on a round Persian pillow. Italy is over, let me test you, how much do you know about Nero's water banquet?"

"What?"

"A long time ago, the Roman emperor held a banquet on Lake Agrippa, and all his favorites attended the banquet, made a raft, put it on Lake Agrippa, and arranged a banquet on the raft. He prepared some small boats as tugboats, and dragged the rafts in the center of the lake. The boats were all decorated with gold and ivory, and the rowers were handsome young men. marine life caught in the

"I haven't seen any rare birds and animals." He looked at the food on the table, except that they were well-arranged, they were no different from the ones sold in the restaurant at the foot of the mountain.

She let the plates float in mid-air and slowly brought them within reach.

"He married himself to a young man in the form of all legal marriages. The Emperor's head is veiled. Do you think I wear a veil, too, Prince?"

"Yes." He said, looking her in the eyes.

So she turned a tablecloth into a veil, almost transparent, but she could see her reflection in his eyes.

"Open your mouth," she said, and he opened his mouth obediently, and she stuffed a strawberry into his mouth.

In the summer of AD 64, a fire broke out in Rome. The fire lasted for 9 days, and only 4 of the 14 districts in the city survived, 3 of which were reduced to scorched earth, and only ruins remained in the other districts. For the people of Rome, the fire was undoubtedly an unprecedented disaster, and countless lives and properties were devoured by the flames.

Although Nero also took some measures to rescue the refugees, it was only for perfunctory purposes. After the fire, Nero took advantage of the disaster in his own country and built his "golden house" first. According to Tacitus' record, "The surprise of this palace does not lie in the usual and vulgar gold piles and jade buildings, but in the wild lake, deep forests, and sometimes wide and unique scenery." The new palace built by Nero occupied the most central area of ​​Rome from the Palatine Hill to the Esquilinus Hill with its school corridors, baths, pools, and animals. The entire interior of the palace is decorated with gold, precious stones and pearls. The dining room has an ivory-lined ceiling that turns to allow flowers to be sprinkled from it, while perfumes are sprayed from tubes. There is both sea water and spring water in the baths. When Nero saw this magnificent, luxurious and unique building, he said in admiration, "This is just like a place where a person lives."

She didn't pay much attention to these decorations, she fed him strawberries like a pet rabbit, and when his attention was on her, she sat on him like a horse.

"What are you doing?" the prince said with a smile of interest.

"Dinner," she said, unbuttoning him. "Defense ready?"

"Yes, my queen." He put his hands on the back of his head and sighed with great comfort. "What do you want me to do?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"Fruit." He said, so she took another strawberry and put it in her mouth, lowered her head and brought it to his mouth...
