Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 782 The Prisoner of Avignon

Education used to be enjoyed only by the wealthy. Latin is a universal language. This part of the information Pomona and Severus can still understand. The information written in Italian and Spanish cannot be understood. Fortunately, Arabic numbers They still know the date they wrote, but there are quite a few diaries kept up to now.

  Only few people have the habit of writing diaries. After so many years of erosion and Napoleon’s search, there are fewer books in the Venice Library.

  He is also looking for money from the Templars, after all, there are many legends about the whereabouts of that money.

  But Pomona felt that the money should have been used by the King of France to buy the Pope’s throne.

The darkness of the Middle Ages is almost all related to the French pope. Urban, the initiator of the first Crusade, was a Frenchman. Clement V, who framed the Knights Templar with the "beautiful man", was also French. From 1305 to 1389, the pope was French. The Holy See was even in Avignon, France. During the Middle Ages, the pope had to leave Rome to temporarily live in peaceful Avignon because of frequent wars throughout Italy. Who Knowing that this residence is six hundred years.

  Pomona was very influential. Only the British students at the Golden House did not enjoy discounts. So they took out the promotional materials about the Golden House and found that the house originally belonged to the Kontarini family.

The 97th, 100th, 104th, and 106th Governors of Venice belonged to the Contarini family. Clement X happened to be famous for persecuting Protestants. If the Contarini family hated Protestants, then his museum would not give it to him. The British preferential treatment can be understood.

Just as the man said at the "Dinner" at the Governor’s Palace that day, the Brit was as pale as a ghost. The last time it was reported in the newspaper, a pair of British Muggle teachers were slaughtered for dinner in Venice and went to New York for this. According to the Times, the mayor of Venice said that he wanted to give them justice, but in the end his investigation result was: "It costs money to come to Venice."

  This blackmailed meal money must not come back, they are still professors at the University of Birmingham.

   "As I said, Protestants are not very sensitive to sin." Pomona said, looking at the English materials.

   "Why are you sighing so?" Severus asked.

"The Kontarinis think it was done by the British." Pomona said. "That's why only the students of the British School of Architecture do not enjoy the discount when entering the Golden House. You didn't doubt Marcondonio Chas before. Did Tenny lose his military expenses? They did embezzle it, but instead of making money, they gave it to the Holy See. Clement X funded the Polish wing cavalry against the Ottoman cavalry. In the 17th century, it was mainly Portugal and the Ottoman Empire. The navy and the Venetian navy do not need so much armament. Francesco Mosironi does not know the transaction. When he sees that the inventory in the ammunition warehouse is inconsistent with the account book, he will ask for it from his predecessor. The Council of Ten is dispatched. Many families will be involved."

   "Did the British or the Venetians do it?" Severus asked.

  "Why did you choose Venice as the bank?" Pomona asked.

   "I'm looking for a place to transfer assets to Malfoy." Severus said, "Draco can come to live in Venice in the future."

   "Oh, my goodness." Pomona was clutching her head with a splitting headache.

  Like the musician who ran to Genoa, these two guys thought that when they came to Venice to come to the British Auror, they would not come to extradite them. Venice is a good place for political asylum!

   "Remember that I told you to go to South America? How are you preparing?" Severus asked.

   "Do you think I have time!" she complained.

   "No, you didn't." He said triumphantly, and hugged her from behind. "We spend too much time together."

   "Do you understand why you are doing stupid things?"

  He began to kiss her neck, the light touch was like a butterfly.

   "We are in the library." She whispered "Stop."

  As if a fire dragon was breathing behind her, he said a moment later.

   "Why do you think Portugal was the main force at the time?"

"The Inquisition." Pomona said with a sneer. "Under the Habsburgs, the Inquisition has become a tool used by the government to change religious beliefs. The Portuguese king is appointed by the parliament rather than conferred by the gods, the church and the nobility. He was unwilling to give up the privilege of tax exemption. The king was too weak to impose taxes that even the Habsburg dynasty could not increase. He was also too isolated to suppress the nobles or the church, but the church hoped that Portugal would maintain Independence, I dare not offend Spain, the largest Catholic power in existence, just as Britain and Spain are fighting for maritime supremacy. The Portuguese are responsible for the task of dealing with the Ottoman navy. Portugal has become a **** in several conflicting strategic layouts. All These are all intertwined in a major confrontation between North and South in Europe. In this confrontation, Portugal, as one of the most conservative countries in the southern Catholic ideology, do you know the People’s Commune movement in China?"

   "What?" Severus asked.

"When we were in Tibet, we only ate and didn't work. Do you remember the face of the chef who distributed the food to us?" She smiled and said, with the silent accusing eyes that she remembered all her life, "What we ate was what they had eaten. The “big pot of rice” was later changed from a collective responsibility system to an individual contract system. The efficiency of working for oneself was much higher than working for the collective. When working collectively, some people had food to eat if they didn’t work. It is unfair to hardworking people. Protestants are developing faster than Catholicism for this reason. The British navy is only busy making money in the Mediterranean. They will not care about the Ottoman navy. Portugal needs the support of the Pope. It will be annexed by Spain, and Habsburg won the Portuguese throne due to the marriage relationship. At that time, France and the Ottoman Empire formed a sacrificial alliance against the Habsburg family."

"To deal with the Ottoman navy, the Portuguese navy was used." Severus took over. "We went to the Michelangelo that day, and a shipwreck hunter said that the American Ocean Salvage Company found a 1694 in Gibraltar. The British warship Sussik, which sank in the year, contained treasures worth 700 million pounds, but there was no way to salvage it due to technical limitations."

   "Like I said, the British!" Pomona couldn't help complaining, "When others fight, they make a fortune in silence."

   "You are also British." Severus reminded.

  "This is Hefpaff, and I will not participate in the Muggle dispute."

   "So the British did it?" Severus asked.

   "Merlin's beard, a broken island has so many secrets." She punched him with anger.

   "Oh." He pretended to yell that it hurts, that punch didn't have any strength at all, what was his name!

   "Your plan is probably going to fail, and the Italians will not agree to it."

   "That's not necessarily." He smiled slyly and said, "Francesco Morosini was the governor in 1688. Why did that ammunition detonate wait until August 29, 1689, nearly a year later?"

  Her thinking is interrupted.

   "Because the only person who can prove the purity of the Contarini family is dead, I had to detonate it without a match."

   "So you believe that the Italian did it?" Pomona asked.

  "Do you want to bet?" he asked.

   "No." She immediately denied.

   "Coward." He said contemptuously.

  So, did it rain and thunder on August 29, 1689?

In fact, it’s not just a diary. Weather conditions are also written in the logbook. A pencil sketch was found in the Titanic’s safe. If the logbook of the battleship Sasik was also written in pencil, then the truth may be preserved. Down.

  There is also a treasure of 700 million pounds.

  The ownership of the Strait of Gibraltar Spain and England are still vying for it, and who it belongs to has not yet been resolved.

   "Let's ask the mermaid for help, how about stealing that ship?" Pomona said with bright eyes, as if she saw piles of gold coins piled up in front of her.

   "Where do you put it after you take it?" Severus said mercilessly.

   "Hurry up! I don't want to put Swiss Bank and Gringotts."

  The old bat stared at her with death gaze again.

  "The Italians you said would not agree to this plan!" he roared.

   "Did I say it? Is there evidence?" She began to shame.

  The old bat got angry away.

   "Hahaha." Pomona burst into her waist and laughed, as if she had won a game.

  　 700 million pounds is the estimated value 20 years ago, how can it be doubled now?
