Chapter 729 The Cursed Dharma King

If you have been to the Vatican, you will find that the Pope's guard is Swiss, and the Swiss guard became the Pope's guard in the Vatican in the early 16th century. In June 1505, Pope Julio II brought 200 strong Swiss mercenaries to Rome and decided to let them guard the Vatican.

Switzerland is picturesque, but traffic is blocked at the same time. Good places have long been reclaimed into farm towns. Only places that are not suitable for human habitation can maintain their natural state.

After Switzerland’s independence, the financial source was that men from all over the country went abroad as mercenaries and sent money back to the country. In May 1527, Karl V of the Holy Roman Empire led an army to invade Rome, wreaking havoc and killing on the city of Rome. There is a secret passage in the ancient city wall connecting the Pope's Palace and Castel Sant'Angelo - "Passetto". Pope Clemens VII asked the guards to guard the palace and ordered to open this secret passage and escape to the city of Sant'Angelo. take refuge. At that time, in order to protect the life of the pope, many guards died, and the original 189 guards were only left with 42 people. Twenty years after the incident, Pope Paul III not only revived the then-dilapidated Guards, but also increased the number of Guards to 225.

Colonel Lupen, the new captain of the guards, reorganized the Swiss Guards. With his passionate and loyal temperament, he formulated a strict guard system and drove all non-Swiss guards out of the guards, including marrying an Italian woman and living in Italy. Descendants of the Swiss Guards.

It is well known that Swiss banks are the safest banks in the world. Guess how much money the Vatican has deposited in Swiss banks?

The Swiss can make the banking and manufacturing industries top-notch, because they know that if they do not do well, they will have to carry their guns to the battlefield just like the current Africans and Middle Easterners.

Switzerland made a rare act of charity in the history of the world. At that time, because of the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Liechtenstein, a dependent country, was left alone. Switzerland stood up and formed an alliance with Liechtenstein to provide diplomatic and defense protection. Switzerland itself is in jeopardy, they could have let it go, but they still protect Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein is known to be the wealthiest royal family in all of Europe, guess how much they have deposited in Swiss banks?

Switzerland is one of the few permanent neutral countries without blood debt, and so is Venice. Their old enemy Genoa now belongs to France, and it is well known that the French hunted down the Templars.

If Venice sheltered the lives and property of the Knights Templar, it was also a kind of righteous deed. It also gave everything when the Christian League and the Ottoman Empire competed for the hegemony of the Mediterranean. More importantly, the Swiss Bank was involved in the gold scandal. Inside, this had a serious impact on their reputation. The Swiss Bank not only absorbed a large number of Jewish deposits in the form of anonymous accounts, but also used its status as a neutral country to conduct countless secret transactions with Germany. Wealth stored in a Swiss bank is as reliable as in a safe. But another problem arises immediately: If a depositor deposits a huge sum of money anonymously in a Swiss bank, and then dies suddenly, without giving the bank a will, and having no chance to tell the family members the deposit password when he dies, then he will This deposit will stay in the Swiss bank forever and cannot be withdrawn.

Not even the devil can collect on the witch who made a deal with him at the devil's bridge and died suddenly.

There are not a few countries that want to become "Swiss banks". The banks in New York are the biggest competitors of UBS, but the real estate bubble in the United States is bigger than Venice, a city like the sea bubble. The crisis is also a business opportunity. If Venice can become A permanent neutral country will replace Swiss banks as a financial center, so they don't have to rely on the tourism industry and tourists to drive the economy.

European Catholics call the Pope "Papa", as long as he deposits money in the Bank of Venice, it doesn't matter how many times he calls "Papa".

"Papa", "Papa", "Papa".

European rich people like to go to Venice to participate in film festivals, and those flashing lights are like stars in the sky.

Compared with that place in Switzerland, the coquettish charm of Venice is more in line with their taste. If the Pope's bodyguard is replaced by an Italian, no matter he is from Naples or Sicily, after all, Italy is now a unified country, that is also a victory.

Napoleon the Corsican really had reason to be afraid of the lions of the east, how many years ago was the Knights Templar, who remembers them?

However, all the assets transferred by the Knights Templar were real money. On the evening of March 22, 1314, on a small island on the Seine River in Paris, Jacques de Molay, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, was captured by King Philip IV of France. He was tied to the stake and burned slowly to death.

Count Kiche de Beauge then established a "pure architect" organization. He asked the king of France for permission to bury Mollet's body elsewhere, and the king agreed.

So using Jacques de Molay's coffin, Beauger took the opportunity to remove several boxes of treasures including gold, silver and precious stones from the large pillars of the Knights Templar Church, and moved them to a safe place. None of these "architects" claim to be from the Free Masons Union, there is no proof.

Shakespeare said: I hope those rumors are as unreliable as the lies of an old woman who is full and has nothing to do, chewing ginger, or a snotful and tearful old woman who pretends to cry for the death of her third husband.

Rumors stop at the wise, who wants to be a fool who believes everything?

The Knights Templar had their own unique set of occult symbols within, using such symbols and secret religious rituals to hide and retrieve their treasures.

Why do Venetians choose November 21st as a health festival, and even people in the city hold religious ceremonies?

There can be many reasons for this, I was in a good mood that day, or everyone was free, but there is also such a possibility that on November 21, 164 BC, Judas Maccabee rebuilt the temple, and the Jews set the date as the next day after that. To commemorate the Feast of the Temple.

The full name of the Knights Templar is "The Poor Knights of the Temple of Christ and Solomon", and Judas Maccabee rebuilt the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

The Jerusalem Temple was the highest place of worship for the ancient Israelites. Since Solomon's Temple was built in Jerusalem in the 10th century BC, Jerusalem has been the center of the Jewish faith and the holiest city. It immediately became a place of worship for God and a symbol of the nation of Israel. This temple is the first temple.

On August 16, 586 BC, King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon destroyed Jerusalem and the First Temple was destroyed.

The second time was destroyed by the Roman Empire general Titus in AD 70. Before the destruction, the Holy of Holies in the Temple of Jerusalem contained the Ark of the Covenant. It is the most sacred place in Judaism. Only the high priest is eligible once a year. Entering the Holy of Holies, the cabinet is nowhere to be found.

Napoleon took the wedding at Cana, and even if the Louvre later returned the painting, it wasn't over.

He attacked a permanent neutral country, who's going to fight Switzerland now? **None of that!

It’s no big deal for a Venetian girl to fall in love with an Austrian guy, but because of this relationship, it’s the same as Romeo and Juliet. The guy was killed by the girl’s family. If the girl didn’t go to the witch, she would have committed suicide just like Juliet. .

This story happened after the 18th century, only two hundred years ago.

According to legend, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar cursed Philip IV and Pope Clement V before his death, saying that they would face eternal judgment within a year.

Sure enough, Pope Clement V died of a sudden illness a month later, and another cursed person, the "beautiful man" Philip IV, died suddenly while hunting half a year later.

The French king at that time wanted to supplement the increasingly embarrassing financial expenditure by attacking the Knights Templar and confiscating its wealth.

Since Jacques de Molay's commander-in-chief was killed and the Knights Templar was brutally suppressed by France and other countries, the Knights and France and other countries have become feuds, and the Temple Church in London, one of the Knights Templar's properties in England Also transferred to the order of the first aid.

The Order of the Salvation was a military order that shared the same reputation as the Templars during the Crusades and sometimes had conflicts. It was also known as the Order of Malta because it defended the island of Malta after the fall of Jerusalem.

The Order of the Ambulance leased the Temple Church to lawyers until Henry VIII took it over.

The purpose of the three major knights who participated in the Crusades was very holy at the beginning, such as poverty protection, medical care, rescue, etc. I am afraid that they did not realize what role they played until they really arrived in the war zone.

They became rich, but they didn't get redeemed because of it, the gold was all bloody.

Monica and Alessandro's family is very ordinary, not very rich, but very happy. If they really plan to participate in this game, Pomona can also make them win, but they may be very happy. I miss the time when I had the cheek to go to Uncle Fabio's house to grab a meal.

She is not Lily, Lily will protect Severus from being bullied by rich young masters like James Potter and Sirius Black, but a boy who has been protected cannot become stronger.

She is a cruel person, but she is not completely bad, so God made her a woman, thinking a lot but not acting, looking for a sense of identity among the wrong people, and finally not being recognized, and finally ended up in this end.

On March 5, 2005, she leaned on the carved glass window and looked at Venice bathed in the morning light. Now the city is just waking up, and only a few ships are sailing on the Grand Canal.

She had fully enjoyed her freedom for less than a day, but was bound by an invisible chain again. She really missed that Slytherin boy who was always bullied.

Fully dressed, Severus had birds, snakes and cockroaches piled on his arms. He was still wearing a cloak, a wizard's attire, and after wearing a mask, he was no different from a Muggle in a carnival.

"Let's go, don't keep them waiting."

She didn't want to obey his orders.

"You want to stay home with me all day?"

He didn't threaten her, but she gave up and grabbed his arm.

So they left the bedroom they hadn't left for three days, walked to the atrium, and were apparated by two house-elves.
