Chapter 686: The Secret Entrance

The most important social relationship for people in ancient society was the family blood relationship, and the interests of the family were above all else. Personal injury to a certain person is considered to be an infringement on all members of a family; retaliation for an act of personal injury is aimed at the family members of the injurer.

Blood revenge has appeared in many countries and regions, and it is legal, not only in Europe, but also in Asia.

The hatred of father killing is not shared, and the law of the early Middle Ages only pointed out another option: the method of accepting compensation can be used to settle the grievances.

Just as the French proverb in the Middle Ages in Europe said, "Either accept the spear or buy the spear", dueling is a customary way of revenge for blood relatives, and it is also one of the ways for men to resolve grievances.

But after the 15th century, most European countries strictly prohibited revenge by blood relatives, and anyone who commits a crime must be tried and sentenced by the national judicial organs. However, this understanding is not accurate, because in most European rural areas, national laws were still ineffective until the end of the 19th century, and most European villages still relied on "village rules" to resolve disputes.

Public executions will not have the warning effect that those in power think, on the contrary, it will become a kind of entertainment. In many areas of France, once someone violates the village rules, the face will be smeared with honey, then glued with feathers, and wearing a nightcap , took a long wooden stick in his hand, and rode a donkey upside down to show the public in the village. This kind of "street parade" was very popular, and the villagers even regarded it as a small "festival".

The beheading of nobles will not be carried out publicly, and the burning of wizards is another kind of carnival among villagers. The feud between the two villages may be due to some small quarrels, and then developed into a fight. Many people even don’t know how their ancestors became feuds. If there are two young men and women who fall in love like Romeo and Juliet, they can only elope. Road.

It is said that a couple who eloped did not prepare enough food when they escaped, so they had to search everywhere in the forest, and finally found some honey to satisfy their hunger.

The second is to escape the lord from exercising the right of the first night. Regarding the nobles, the oppressed civilians have never had a good image. The "noble wedding" has become a ballad for them to make fun of the nobles, and it has been sung everywhere through the voices of bards.

The reason why foreigners have to leave for seven years is to participate in the Crusades. With the addition of the time spent fighting in the local area, seven years have passed in the blink of an eye. That's all, if the person staying at home finds out that he is dead, then she has no choice but to marry someone else.

During the war, soldiers fought on the front line, and it was not uncommon for those who stayed behind to take care of her, but plotted against her. If the soldiers came back and found out that this was the case, they would basically splatter five steps with blood. Or just ride on the road alone and escape to a strange country to live in seclusion. Anyway, there are no photos in the Middle Ages.

Pierre Bonacourt, the first president of the International Federation of Wizards, was a Liechtensteiner. He wanted to ban troll hunting and allow trolls to have their own power.

But the magic society of Liechtenstein and a group of mountain trolls are feuds. The logic of the trolls is simple: you have money but I don’t, and you don’t have the ability to protect yourself. Why can’t I rob you?

The troll is not as big as a giant, and its appetite is amazing. Lindao is located in a river valley, far away from the Alps.

In order to avoid being attacked by surprise, the wizards of the whole country lived on a small island in the middle of the lake.

At that time, there were Roman Muggles on the island. In order to resist the monsters, everyone worked together. Wizards would not play tricks on Muggles, and Muggles would not burn wizards to death. Isn’t it good to live? Why do you want to court death?

After the decline of the Holy Roman Empire, Lindau lost its status as a free imperial city in 1802. In 1804, Lindau was ceded to Austria together with its monastery. Austria returned Lindau to Bavaria the following year. In 1853, Lindau built a railway dam leading from the land to the island. In 1856, a new port was built. The lighthouse and lion sculpture of the port were completed at the same time, becoming the landmark of the city.

Since 1951, Nobel laureates have regularly held forums in Lindau every year. Nobel laureates in medicine, chemistry, physics, and economics have gathered in Lindau to communicate with young students from all over the world.

At the same time, this small island in Lake Constance is also the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards, and Sophia Jorkins got off at this place.

The city emblem of Lindau is a luxuriant green linden tree, which represents enlightenment and wisdom in Buddhism. There is a Franciscan monastery on the island. Among many Christian sects, Franciscan sect is a relatively enlightened reform Pai, the Bible records that God created the world, which is very different from Darwin's theory of evolution.

The Franciscans not only believe that the theory of evolution exists, but also that the Big Bang is real, and that God did not create the universe by waving a magic wand.

Lindau has been the host city of the Tour of Germany for many years and the venue for many international sports competitions. In addition, with the advantage of Lake Constance, Lindau also often hosts sailing competitions.

Replacing war with competition is also an important part of the modern Olympic spirit.

Everyone should enjoy the possibility of playing sport without discrimination of any kind and embody mutual understanding, friendship, solidarity and fair play, all principles that make people better, embraced by the bright aura of the Olympic inside.

Bertha Jorkins, who caused more trouble than she did good, was in the Sports Department of the British Ministry of Magic probably because she had a relative who worked in the International Federation of Wizards.

Pomona looked at Sophia's back with envy, wishing she could get out of the car and apply for a job at the International Federation of Wizards, she was so cool.

"Have you ever thought that Albus wants me to be in the International Federation of Wizards?" she asked.

"Great, how would you introduce me?" Severus asked with a graceful smile.

Although the Death Eaters are not internationally wanted criminals, they are notorious. Pomona is so depressed that she wants to find a place to roll.

"We're going to enter Austria in a while. I heard that Nurmengard's invisibility spell was canceled after Grindelwald's death. Have you brought your binoculars?"

"I don't want to see it." She said annoyed, no wonder there are so many people selling binoculars at the train station.

"Do you want me to go to jail?" he asked, squeezing her hand.

"No." She said helplessly, "but if you make a big mistake..."

"You won't protect me, you are the same as Lily in this regard." He sighed helplessly, "You are still on the side of 'justice' after all."

Pomona thought of Narcissa Malfoy, who supported Draco in whatever he did, even when the Dark Lord asked Draco to fix the Vanishing Cabinet and put the Death Eaters in Hogwarts.

"I'll find a way to atone with you," Pomona said. "And, before you lose control, I'll remind you that I won't leave you alone, Severus."

"Don't you think I'm your burden?" he asked looking at her hand.

"The rules of Hufflepuff say, do your best, if it doesn't work, please give up, but there is another rule that you can give up everything, but some people can't." She sighed, "I promised Lily to watch haha Li, but I think you and Neville and Draco are more important, which is what he wants most, but I think he can only feel it from Molly."

"Why is there Longbottom?" He smiled strangely, as if he was proud of it, but also disgusted.

"I don't know, because I cast an Oblivion Charm on him to make him forgetful?"

"How do you use questions? Are you asking me?"

She was also confused.

Just then, the train started moving again, and on the travel poster at Lindau train station was a lighthouse, thousands of lights illuminating the harbor and lion sculptures at night.

As the port of an inland city, why does it build a lighthouse that can only be used by a seaside city? It's really strange.
