Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 1239 downisup

  Severus flipped through the materials brought back from another world.

  Neither the Tuileries nor the St. Luke’s Palace have disappeared. According to this clue, he is looking for the palaces in French history that were related to Bonaparte, which existed but did not “now” exist.

   "Hey." John knocked on the door, "Let's eat out."

   "I'm not hungry." Severus said coldly.

   "Go for a walk, the fresh air can make you clear." John said, "And you might encounter other clues."

  Severus ignored him.

   "Do you think the information you collected is true?" John Cheer said reluctantly, "It is not a trap set by Napoleon to separate our relationship with the United States."

   "I don't care." Severus said.

   "Napoleon is a devil in a sense, and the clues he gives you are not necessarily true clues."

  Severus stopped reading.

   "Let's go." John motioned to Severus, "I know a place is well-informed."

  Severus took out his pocket watch and took a look, then followed John out of the warehouse.

  Compared with the lively construction sites, the wharf is obviously deserted a lot. This is due to the trade blockade after the war between Britain and France. Only merchant ships from neutral countries can enter Paris.

  "The Napoleonic government puts more emphasis on agriculture. Even if the cost of land transportation will be higher than that of sea transportation, which will result in thinning of profits, that must be the case." John said, "Political demand is higher than commercial demand."

  Severus ignored him.

"Not only Jenner, but Napoleon, a scientist from other countries, is also collecting, but cultural activities have almost stopped. Operas have to be reviewed before they can be shown. That's why the actresses have to accompany him for 15 minutes." John He laughed and said, "That dwarf can hold on for a while."

   "Have you said enough?" Severus asked coldly.

"He is a loser. If he is not the first in power, no woman will look at him." John said. "If Milan is on fire, then even if Milan burns to the ground, the resident personnel must ask him to extinguish the fire. , His government is so rigid, we can act on our own, he is simply a control freak."

  Severus turned his head and planned to go back.

"You must know that the provocations you will face in the future are even worse than what I just said. Control your emotions." John said, "His days will not last. In order to conscript there are no farmers in the country, he refuses to open food exports to avoid them. The skyrocketing food prices caused civil commotions, and France's labor force and military strength were about to be out of balance."

   "I don't care how the French are." Severus gritted his teeth and said, "I can't believe it. I would want to take care of their business."

   "What's the matter?"

  Severus did not answer John’s question.

   "Is she a smart woman?" John asked.

   "Sometimes it's stupid."

   "If she was really a stupid woman, then Napoleon would not lose his mind for her." John said, "He actually used himself as a bait to lure you out."

   "That's because he thought I was an impulsive fool."

"The victory of Napoleon’s army stems from his courage and decisiveness, as well as the ability of the troops to act. A surprise attack is the key to victory. It requires absolute confidentiality. If you know some information channels that we don’t know, please share it with me. Make sure that no one will laugh at you."

  Severus stared at John.

   "It's not what you think." He gasped.

   "You are on the death list of the secret police, Mr. Smith." John took off the red scarf from his neck and handed it to Severus. "Hide the scar on your neck. It's too conspicuous."

   Severus was in a daze holding the red scarf that exuded the strong smell of sweat.

  "Do you know what circumstances would make Napoleon give this order?" John asked again.

  Severus was still in a daze.

"Even the person who assassinated him has to go through a court trial before being executed or exiled. You don't even have to try this one, and you still have a bounty in your head. The amount is so large that the people under me are moved by it, I think With this, even if you don’t have us, you can live well alone, right?"

   "Thank you." Severus tied the red scarf around his neck.

   "You're welcome." John patted his arm. "Good luck, wizard."

   Then John turned around and went back to the warehouse.

  Severus looked back at him, and then turned into a dark mist, and flew away from the intelligence station.

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

  Do you know what is most precious to a rich man?

  It's not money, but time, which he can't give you.

Pomona leaned against a marble column, letting her dizzy mind gradually cool down. Someone was already willing to give her all of his time. Why should she wait for someone who divides the time for herself? And give up what is already in your hand.

  She imagined that a person gave her a kiss. It smelled of sage, tobacco, and a little peppermint, and the restless heart gradually calmed down.

  It’s so strange that she didn’t smell the perfume custom-made in Venice.

  But she does like the smell of sage, which is the fragrance of his own choice.

   School life feels far, far away, maybe this is why everyone has become alienated after graduation, and even become hostile next time they meet.

  Compared with the long 70 years, seven years is only one tenth. There is still a long way to go in the future. One will never never graduate.

  Albus allowed her to stay in school for more than 20 years. She is already luckier than many people. If she wants more, she is greedy.

  Pomona looked up at the Venetian stone lion above her head. Napoleon snatched it from the living room of someone else's house and installed it in her own home. He didn't even allow Venetians to wear masks, but he held a masquerade party in Paris.

  Being a likable person is very simple. For example, the emperor prohibits masquerades, and the minister of police allows masquerades. In this way, people who like masquerades will like the minister of police and hate the emperor.

  There is always no shortage of savvy people in this world, knowing that it is easier to be loved than a lover. They robbed Napoleon of resources and forced him to rely on military actions to obtain a “dazzling” victory, and then gain the support of the people.

  This is an infinite loop. Growing food requires manpower. When men go to war, there will be no one to plant the land, and food prices will become extremely sensitive.

  Members of the “democratic” system used lies to gain popular votes, and none of their promises were fulfilled after being elected.

  Yes, the Muggle population has decreased, but what does that woman have to do? Women want to have a baby without solving their own food, clothing, housing and transportation. Do they want to end with Merope?

  The woman who had been with him still ended up like that. The old Tom Riddle was killed by his own son.

  After a comparison, it was discovered that the handsome rich Muggle was totally undesirable. Only a woman like Merope who had never seen the world and received no education would look at him.

Rousseau’s book writes that the rise in population means that this is a good society. During Napoleon’s reign, the population was on the rise. This is what those civilians and Mr. Jenner in black said, but the high birth rate also has a high death rate. France needs More doctors and improved hygiene.

  Pomona touched her belly. She knew that even if she could become pregnant, she would have a 90% chance of giving birth to a girl. She could not give the son Napoleon wanted. It would be a waste of time to continue to struggle.

  Hades is very rich, and the Louvre at this moment is like the palace of Hades.

  It is useless to indulge in illusory dreams and forget the real life. Many people spend their time in front of the Mirror of Eris. It can illuminate the most urgent and strong desires in people's hearts.

  Harry saw the Sorcerer's Stone in the mirror, and then the Sorcerer's Stone appeared in his own hands. Perhaps this is the nature of this world.

  It’s just Napoleon and a Muggle who can take the mirror of Eris?

She thought of the mirror gallery of the Palace of Versailles and the Grand Trianon. Maybe this is the world in the mirror. The strong and urgent desires that remain are the same as the living people, so those who don’t know whether they are ghosts or humans appear to be the same. So "alive".

But this is just an appearance, they are not really alive, just like Napoleon’s public welfare is to buy people’s hearts, not really from his kind heart, but this is much better than people who don’t even bother to buy people’s hearts. .

  He is a poor person, and Pomona is willing to accompany him to continue acting, although from the heart, she finds it a bit interesting.

  She covered her face and smiled.

  The French are good at seduce, temptation is everywhere, and they are good at secretive tricks, playing high-intelligence games, Napoleon is even a master, can Severus beat him and take her home?

  As Lyle said, no one will die in this game. This may be another desire of Napoleon. He just likes to win and win, just like those boys who play games.

   Just as she smirked, one hand suddenly grabbed her, and then dragged her into a secret room.

  As a royal palace, the Louvre will of course have secret passages and secret rooms, although they were not originally designed for private meetings.

  Pomona slapped the Corsican **** who had offended her just now.

   "One kiss and one slap, I seem to have earned it." He covered the place where he was beaten and said shamelessly in quirky French, "Tell me, what price does it cost me to undress you?"

  "Are you busy with nothing else?"

   "I have a rest today, how about being the mother of my child?"

   "You mean your soldier's mother?"

  "No..." He raised his hand and stepped back, because Pomona was facing him with her wand, and the end of the wand was still flashing with fluorescence.

   "No." Pomona said, "I can have children in wedlock, why should I give birth to illegitimate children for you? Is your law a dead letter?"

   "Your marriage is invalid."

   "Our marriage is valid in the wizarding world. You must beat my husband."

  He let out a long sigh of relief, "We seem to be back to the Middle Ages all at once."

   "Don't you dare to fight him?"

  He didn't answer immediately.

  Pomona knew that he must be thinking about how to take advantage of it again.

   "Idiot." Pomona shook her head and left the secret room.
