Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1166 The Spirit of Louvre ([-])
The sense of smell of the media is really very sensitive. After a while, Pomona saw a reporter coming to interview the "performance artist" who performed sculptures in the Goddess Pillar Pavilion.

The Louvre is closed every Tuesday. Yesterday was not only the summer solstice, but also happened to be Tuesday. In addition to the off-season of tourism, there were few audiences going to the Hall of the Goddess. The man said that he stayed in the Louvre for two days without being caught It is not impossible for people to find out.

The artist always behaved a little strangely, but she was still surprised when she saw the Egyptian priest with folded hands solemnly passing by the entrance of the exhibition hall.

From June 6 in the solar calendar, it has entered the Greek sign of Cancer, and it is the day when the Nile River begins to flood.

The Egyptians attached great importance to the worship of the Nile God. The flood of the river is not always just right, too much or too little will cause serious disasters.

"Did you see that?" Pomona asked Severus.

"See what?" Severus asked.

"Don't worry about it." She shook her head, trying to forget the ghost she just saw.

She even felt that the priest who just walked by looked a lot like Imerton in the movie Legend of Ghosts.

Pharaoh's women are hot copper, and no one dares to touch Ansuna even if she is naked.The high priest who dared to do that was mummified alive and cursed for thousands of years, but any man with a clear mind knew exactly what to do.

The queen cannot be deposed casually, and the mistress cannot be righted.The king's mistress is different from the emperor's or pharaoh's concubine. Some illegitimate children born to the king and his mistress are recognized by the king, while others can only be named after the mistress's husband.Usually as compensation, the mistress's husband will be promoted by the king to fill some fat positions.

It is wishful thinking to want to become the queen's mistress just by giving birth to a boy. The bastards in the East also have the right to inherit, but the order of succession is behind the eldest son. This is different from the fact that the bastards in the West do not have the right to inherit.

Some men think it is a good thing for their wife to become the mistress of the king, while others think it is a disgrace. The husband of Mrs. Montespan, the mistress of Louis XIV, drove through the city openly in a carriage with antlers. Mrs. Pan held a beautiful living funeral for her when everything was going on as usual, and she took her two sons to receive guests with sad faces.Louis XIV put him in prison, but he escaped successfully and went abroad to publicize the scandal of the king and his wife.

It is difficult to reform from top to bottom, but it is easy to degenerate from top to bottom. The ancient Greeks believed that moles could control the fate of human beings. At first, the face patches were like adhesive tape, which was used by soldiers to cover them on the battlefield. wounds and blemishes.In the 17th century, it became popular to stick moles on the face among the nobles of the French court.It was once extended to all levels of society. Both men and women would use leather, taffeta or velvet to make small black spots and stick them on their faces as moles.

The aristocrats are responsible for creating trends, and the common people follow suit. This was the social atmosphere in Paris before the Great Revolution. Louis XV took a fancy to Miss Lange, and in order to give her a status as a court official, he asked the Earl of Barry to marry her.This is Madame du Barry who later replaced Mrs. Pompadour as the chief mistress of Louis XV and was guillotined during the Revolution.

During her golden age, it wasn't just Count Jean du Barry who was cared for by the king, but her family also received the benefits due to being relatives of mistresses.Her mother, Anne, became the Marchioness of Montrabbe and lived in a luxurious apartment in the convent of St. Elizabeth.

People in the aristocratic circle didn't feel any problems, but at that time, France was plagued by drought and plague, and the lives of ordinary people were miserable. Coupled with the soaring prices, it was even more difficult to live.

After the Revolution broke out, it was heard that a bloody cloth containing the head of her new lover, the Duke of Brissac, was thrown into the window of the country house where she lived after the death of Louis XV.

Her slave Zamore joined the Jacobin Club along with another family member of the Dubali family.Zamore became a follower of the revolutionary George Grieve and later an officer of the Committee of Public Safety.She gave Dumore three days to withdraw from the Jacobin Club, and Zamore did not hesitate to publicly denounce his mistress immediately to the committee.According to Zamore's testimony, Jeanne was suspected of financially supporting the aristocratic exile of the old days, which eventually led to the arrest of this "sweetheart" in 1793. She tried to save herself by revealing the stash of her hidden gems, but failed. She was successful, and she was eventually sentenced to death for treason.

Theodora's "last words" were "The purple robe is the most beautiful shroud", and Madame du Barry's last words were "Encore un moment!" Wait a minute.

What are you waiting for?Her former slave, now an official, was waiting at the scaffold to see that charming but empty head be chopped off.

She didn't understand why she had to die until she died, and why so many people in the Concorde Square refused to save her, a beautiful woman, including those artists she had supported.

This chief mistress is different from Mrs. Pompadour. Mrs. Pompadour developed Rococo. Although this style cost money, it freed France from its dependence on Chinese porcelain. Mrs. Du Barry...Comparison of Russian novelists Directly, she became the subject mentioned many times in a work called "Idiot".

"I just saw an Egyptian priest." Pomona suddenly stopped and said, "The Egyptian New Year is coming soon."

"What?" Severus asked confused.

"Let's find a place to hide. Yesterday was the summer solstice. I thought, something might happen at night."

"Shall we go to the auction house then?" Severus asked. "You don't want that crystal ball anymore?"

"I have a very bad premonition." Pomona said with a bitter face, "I'm so flustered, why don't other people feel it?"

"I don't like this place either," Severus said. "But we don't know anything about it. We need a guide."

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm going back to England." Severus held her shoulder. "There are also ancient Egyptian experts in the British Museum."

"I don't think the French will be happy," Pomona said.

"Which Egyptian god was the priest you saw just now?" Severus asked.

"I don't know, is there a difference in the sacrificial attire for worshiping different gods?"

"I hate this place." Severus cursed angrily.

"I feel like a cow in a china shop," she said mournfully. "I don't want to be like a horror actress screaming at a mummy. That's stupid."

"Then who do you imagine?"

"Eve, the black-haired heroine in Legend of Ghosts." Pomona said longingly, "God, let me suddenly have the power to read hieroglyphs!"

Severus looked at her strangely.

"What are you doing?" She looked at herself.

"Don't be stupid," Severus said mercilessly. "There are so many tricks in a Muggle museum."

"Why didn't other wizards find that Pensieve? Is it because they don't visit the Louvre?" Pomona asked again.

"The Pensieve is rare, which may be another coincidence."

Pomona thought for a while, but soon gave up thinking.

What's the use of thinking so much?Go with your instincts.
