Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1201 The Ship of Theseus (Part 1)

  Almost everyone who comes to Paris will go to the Louvre. Tourists come from all over the world like sea water, and disappear into the exhibition hall of 60,000 square meters like being absorbed by a sponge.

  They took the guide map and walked around until the sun was westward, their feet were sore, and the large exhibition halls were not finished.

  However, the exhibition hall is only a part of the Louvre to the world. Behind the many palaces, there is an area of ​​more than 100,000 square meters that is only open to the staff. Someone likened the Louvre to a huge piece of Gruyere cheese, full of beautiful windows that couldn't be opened, and the basement that was invisible but actually existed.

  Uncountable pipes, cables, and water pipes are intertwined and criss-crossed. Many rooms are connected by corridors and tunnels extending in all directions, turning them into a labyrinth.

  If no one is carrying it, outsiders will not be able to reach the roof of the Louvre unless they follow the facade of the Louvre.

The landscape seen from here is completely different from the one seen on the Eiffel Tower. This is also one of the Louvre’s "repertoire", when Gonsey and Severus followed Eugene through the complex When the corridor came to the roof, I was shocked by what I saw. The glass pyramid courtyard in the distance was shrouded in a golden "cloud", and the light from the glass pyramid illuminated the "cloud". Below are countless people, the water in the pool in the courtyard has overflowed, forming a "river", and a boatman is floating in the middle of the river with his boat.

  "What do you think?" Eugene asked Severus.

   "It's like watching the great migration of African animals." Severus said, "Is that boatman from Styx?"

  "He doesn't accept gold." Eugene said, "If you meet him one day, remember to bring silver coins."

  After talking about Eugene, he left.

   "Do you still want to go back to sleep?" Severus asked Gonsey.

   "Unbelievable." Gong Saiyi exclaimed, as if reluctant to take his gaze back.

   "Come here!" Eugene said to the two.

  Severus walked over, and then he found an iron gate that could only be passed by one person.

He opened the door, but behind the door is not a passage, but suppose that there is a lapis lazuli crocodile sculpture lying among the black cables in the pipeline on the ceiling, glowing green like the stars in the sky. Light.

   "There is no place to stay down here." Gonsey also came over, looking in through the iron probe like Severus.

   "Let's start your performance, gentlemen." After Eugène said, he stepped aside, staring here as if watching a good show.

   "What do you want to do?" Gonsey asked Severus.

  Severus took the cloak out of the deformed lizard skin pocket.

  Death Eater flying technique seems very mysterious, but its "key" is this flying cloak.

  Magic seems very magical, but as long as the key is told to the audience, it will lose its charm. After putting on the cloak, Severus turned into a black smoke, got into the iron window, picked up the lapis lazuli sculpture with the "spear" tied to the Pharaoh's dagger, and then fell into the room.

  This is a secret room of the Louvre. It has a very strong restoration period style and is very luxuriously decorated.

  The lapis lazuli crocodile sculpture is made vividly, and the scales on the crocodile are clearly visible, as if it were a living thing.

   "Wait!" Gong Saiyi used a magic wand to change a rope ladder, tied one end of it to the roof, and followed the rope ladder to the secret room slowly and awkwardly.

   "Strange, where is the entrance?" Gon Saiyi looked at the secret room. There was no door that seemed to be accessible, as if the iron door above his head was the only entrance.

   "Maybe it will appear after destroying it." Severus said, staring at the sculpture on the wooden table.

   "So... do it?" Gong Saiyi asked.

  Severus did not move.

   "What are you waiting for?"

   "This is like a fish tank." Severus said, "Do you want to drown in that stinking black water?"

  Gon Saiyi opened his eyes wide.

  "I can turn that wooden table into a boat, but if there is something in the water, how can we ensure that it will not be overturned by the water?"

  "We can leave the way we just came in." Gong Saiyi said.

  Severus shook his head, "Remember the monsters we encountered just now? No matter which ones, letting them appear in the world will bring great harm. We have enough monsters to face now."

  Gon Saiyi cursed violently, and the two looked at the sculpture together, not knowing what to do for a while.

   "You seem to be in trouble."

   Suddenly they heard the other speak in French with a taste of English.

  They turned around and looked over and found that it was a man in 18th century costumes.

   "Good evening, gentlemen, I am the curator of the Egyptian Pavilion at the Louvre, Jean François Chamblyan." The man bowed politely to the two.

   "Can you help us? Curator!" Gong Saiyi pointed to Eugene who was watching the excitement on it and said, "He obviously doesn't want to help."

   "You were 41 years old when you died." Severus said to Shang Boliang, "Prince Eugene was 42 years old when he died, and you all died of sudden diseases such as stroke and cerebral hemorrhage. Is this just a coincidence?"

  "Do you think this is the curse of the Pharaoh?" Shang Boliang asked with a smile.

   "You have all been to Egypt." Severus said.

"Many people in our time have been to Egypt. Your statement is too far-fetched." After Shang Boliang said, he turned his attention to the sculpture. "In the Book of the Dead in Egypt, the dead will get a new body after the trial is over. This body is not made of flesh and blood, but made of lapis lazuli and gold. Lapis lazuli is a blessed material. Ancient Egyptians believed it had healing power. Nobles would mix it with sesame oil on eyeliner. It, to avoid eye diseases caused by wind and sand, why do you want to destroy a sculpture made of lapis lazuli?"

   "We believe it is possessed by a demon..."

   "I don't think so."

   "The Horcrux cannot be made just because the container is holy." Severus interrupted the dispute between the two. "I know a wizard, and he made a Horcrux with a crown that represents wisdom."

   "That's really evil." Shang Boliang murmured.

  "Can you tell us, what should we do next?" Gong Saiyi asked.

  "About that Horcrux, how did you destroy it?" Champlain asked Severus.

   "Fighting Curse." Severus replied, "You want to burn the Louvre?"

   "No!" Shang Boliang and Gong Saiyi said together.

   "Then you two, think about it." Severus found a chair and sat down, then took out a box exactly like the Auror from his pocket, and started rummaging through the contents.

================================================== ==============

   "It seems that your lover is in trouble." Hathor said while drinking.

   Through the golden basin filled with clean water, Pomona saw Severus.

  "He just tried to ask Eugene to come to me to check your situation, but Eugene refused. Do you know why this is?" Hathor asked.

   "Because the British blocked the sea, she couldn't receive the letter from Napoleon to Josephine." Pomona said with exhaustion.

"He prefers to believe that it was a foreigner who did it, and he didn't want to believe that Bonaparte’s relatives did it." Hathor sighed. "Compared to men, women cannot forgive Josephine. His sisters are in him. My mother said a lot of bad things about Josephine, which is why she did not attend the day of the coronation ceremony."

  Pomona looked at Hathor.

   "As long as the children can be guaranteed to be their own, the men of that era no longer struggle with the chastity of women." Hathor shrugged. "In Bonaparte's words, adultery can happen on any convenient sofa."

   "But Napoleon's sisters are not necessarily higher in character than Josephine?" Pomona said displeased.

"Their husband is not a national hero. Speaking of this, I remember, what is the boy's name? By the way, Newt Scamander, do he and his brother both love a woman?" Hato You asked.

  "After Theseus and Rita were engaged, Newt had no contact with them." Pomona said with a sullen face.

   "Then what does he usually do?"

   "Living alone and taking care of magical animals, Hefpaff likes socializing very much, but occasionally a few weird people will appear in our college, not to mention that Newt later married other women."

   "So what about Theseus?" Hathor asked.

   "What do you care about this?" Pomona said uncomfortably.

  "Do you know how Bonaparte thinks of Theseus?" Hattor asked with an ambiguous smile.

  "Theseus...You mean that Theseus in the myth?" Pomona asked.

   "Napoleon was in an era when Scamander's brother was not born yet. Isn't that theseus in the myth or who?"

   "I don't know, and I don't care what he thinks." Pomona said distraughtly.

   "He said, Theseus is a poor hero." Hattor suddenly grabbed Pomona's arm, who was motionless as if petrified.

   "I borrow your body and use it." Hathor smiled sweetly to Pomona, "Don't worry, I won't do anything bad, I just want to dance."
