Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 783 Un’ombra

  In fact, those gold coins are not placed in the bank, but can also be placed in the cave, just like a pirate, leaving a treasure map for explorers to find.

  However, after thinking about it, Pomona gave up. The ship of gold coins can be given to the Venetian as a meeting gift and become the start-up capital of their bank.

There is only one reason for using warships to transport gold coins. Those British warships are pirate ships. Pirates were rampant in the 16th century. The discovery of the New World and the expansion of colonies. Various ships loaded with gold and other goods sailed around the world. The interests of different countries competed with the colonies. His ambition makes it easy to legalize cruel piracy. At that time, British privateers were free to attack and rob Spanish cargo ships with impunity.

The "Private License" was used by governments as a national tool to strengthen the navy at that time, allowing the country to create a maritime force capable of attacking enemy merchant ships out of thin air without increasing its budget. These pirates supported by the government and the country Called the "Royal Pirate".

If you make too many enemies, you will be besieged by groups. Why can the Pope launch a Crusade but not launch a conquest of Britain? Whether the explosion on St. Angelo Island in 1689 was a fate or man-made, it changed the world pattern, just like The explosion in 1605 was unsuccessful.

  At six o'clock in the afternoon, the bell of St. Mark's church came. Pomona and Severus were sitting on the pier, watching the Mediterranean sunset while listening to the regular sound of the sea water.

  As a wizard, he is someone else’s godfather and godmother. This responsibility is heavy. Even if Lucius Malfoy finally sleeps on the street, Pomona doesn’t want to care about him, but Draco is different.

  He is a bad boy, and he is not so bad compared to the real gangster.

  He is now a doctor, and relies on saving people to atone for his sins. This kind of practical action is much more useful than kneeling before God and repenting.

No one knows how many people have killed their peers because of the uneven distribution of spoils, nor do they know how many people have been forced to become slaves, just like Cecilia Verol, the beautiful Princess Sultan, she actually She was just an illegitimate girl who was abandoned in an orphanage, but she brought peace to Venice, and then Titian, Tintoretto, and Paul Veronese. In the late 16th century, when the Renaissance art in Florence and other parts of Italy became quiet, the Venetian school continued to prosper.

  The people here are born with a cheerful and bright temperament. Even the sky here is different from the gloomy England. The clouds are colored, unlike the lead grey sky in the UK.

  If one day Britain can’t stay any longer, Pomona hopes that Draco can come here and continue to be a colorful prince like he did when he was a child.

He is like a big villain in a cartoon, thinking about a lot of evil plans, but he always eats bad results. No one succeeds, the only one succeeds is to act on orders, and his father was taken away, what else could he have Choice?

  Those robbed ill-gotten gains are lost if they are lost. It is more important to live. The Templars may be lightly loaded on the road without any wealth.

  They lived incognito in a place that few people knew about, and lived the lives of ordinary people.

  They grow wheat. In the autumn when the wheat is ripe, the palms of the wheat awns, while the other hand is holding a woman, and the woman’s hand is holding a child.

He put down the blood-stained sword in his hand and became an ordinary farmer. There is no shame, because he knows very well that he is serving the world in another way. He is a righteous man. He will not blindly follow the call of the Pope and the King when he goes to war.

  He will fight for the right thing, not for merit and reward.

  Heaven may not be after death, nor in people’s imagination, it is right in front of us, right now.

  As a Venetian, you should remember that he was a Venetian first and then a Christian.

  This may be the reason why Enrico Dandolo performed the fourth crusade as a seller. The Kontarini family took care of too many rounds, a round that could not be achieved and controlled by the power of Venice.

  People can’t save the world, so take care of other people’s nostalgia, so that it’s good for yourself and for others.

  At this moment, Ali Sandro returned in the motorboat. Monica and Gianluca stood behind him, looking like two guards.

  They didn't say anything after the ship docked, as if they didn't know how to explain their whereabouts.

  "Francis can really talk to birds?" Pomona asked, "I know someone who can talk to snakes."

  "Where is your bird and snake?" Monica asked.

   "In the hotel." Pomona said, "That's really a lazy snake."

   "Winter is too cold, and it hasn't fully warmed up yet. This is its habit." Severus said, as if he had suddenly become a miraculous zoologist.

   "What to eat tonight?" Pomona asked the three locals.

  "I know a place." Gianluca said, "there is wine for the governor."

  Pomona then remembered the purpose of this trip. They were here for a drink, so they boarded Ali Sandro’s boat again, this time sailing was replaced by Gianluca.

They did not go to any big island, but went to a small island. This island has only one house, which is octagonal in neoclassical style. The exterior wall is bathed in the rosy sunset, and the red roof looks like Much like the Notre Dame of Flowers in Florence, the entrance is an arc-shaped Roman colonnade, and you can see that it is a palace-style mansion at first glance.

  In pride and prejudice, Elizabeth, who has always been prejudiced against Mr. Darcy, goes "crazy" when she sees his home. After all, she is just the daughter of a squire.

Many children were stunned when they saw Hogwarts Castle for the first time. They had never been abroad, had never seen Versailles or Neuschwanstein Castle. Draco was used to living in the manor. If he was willing to ride a horse around him It's okay to make a round of the land, but Pomona thinks he might not be able to stand such stinky animals.

  When he came to Hogwarts, he was not as frightened as other first-year freshmen. The freshman also ran to school during the first summer vacation to experience the feeling of being a "castle master" and wandering around in the empty school.

  Furong came to Hogwarts and still had all kinds of dislikes. If you see a lot of big scenes, you won't feel that Hogwarts Castle is very luxurious.

  There is an ordinary motorboat at the pier, which is similar to those nearby civilians covered with green cloth. It swayed slightly with the waves and surrounded by evergreen bushes.

  Gianluca went ashore first, and then reached out to take Monica ashore, Ali Sandro followed closely, and Pomona and Severus walked at the back.

   "Do you think we are like the Gardiners." Pomona said to Severus, "Monica is our niece?"

   "You have read too many Jane Austen's books." Severus was also whispering.

"Don't you know that it was even designated as a soldier's reading material in the First World War?" Pomona said aggressively. "It can help soldiers wake up from shell shock. Because love and happiness are what everyone wants Good things to pursue."

  Severus ignored her at all.

  At least his character is by no means as gentle as Mr. Gardiner, but he still held her by the hand.

   wrote in Jane Austen's book: Elizabeth had unexpectedly met Mr. Darcy many times while walking. He will come where others don't. This is really unfortunate. She feels as if fate is deliberately arguing with her.

  Mr. Darcy’s Pembery Manor is hidden in a deep and vast forest, and Gianluca Dante’s palace is on an island in the lagoon.

   Neoclassicism retains the elegance and dignity of classicism, but is completely different from the exaggeration of Baroque style, and opposes the pursuit of excessive elegance.

  This house has three floors. In the middle is a courtyard with a fountain, which is connected to each room. The lawn is paved on the ground, which contrasts sharply with the interior of the marble floor.

  The space and porch enclosed by Roman columns can hold a dance party. The living room is at the first corner of the counterclockwise direction. The library is on the second floor.

The living room continues counterclockwise and the next one is the dining room with a long dining table inside. Outside the French windows of the dining room is the unobstructed Adriatic Sea. Even people like Pomona who often participate in social activities are caught by this. The house was struck by lightning, not to mention ordinary civilians like Monica and Ali Sandro.

  "This is the clubhouse?" Ali Sandro said stupidly.

   "No, this is my home." Gianluca put the key in a porcelain pigeon basin, "Sit as you like, I'll get some drinks."

   "He is really rich." Pomona couldn't help but marvel. Who would have thought that the thin and small "nerd" who was still wearing canvas shoes and T-shirt lived in such a place.

   "If you want to live..."

   "Shut up!" Pomona roared.

  Now she is dizzy. Those sculptures that seem to be some years old are most likely to be real antiques, or even Michelangelo. After all, Giancuca likes the golden section.

  "How did he clean such a big house?" Monica asked.

"He has a servant." A voice rang from behind them. It was a middle-aged man who looked very kind, with a gray beard, barefoot, and silent when he walked, wearing loose cotton trousers and A black pullover sweater with paint on it.

  He looked like a painter, but Pomona subconsciously looked at the oil painting squeegee in his hand. It was sharp enough to pierce her throat.

   "Who are you?" Severus asked.

  "Dante's servant." The man said, "You can call me ombra."

   "That means shadow." Ali Sandro explained to the two.

  "I prefer un’ombra, which is a wine, and it only costs 1 Euro for a glass in a small bar." Ombra smiled and said, "Did you bring coins?"

   "What if I didn't bring it?" Severus said with a smile.

   "You should know that in some places a funeral will put a few coins in the hands of the deceased. This is the ferry money on the Styx. If you don't give it, I'm afraid it will make things difficult." Ombra said, "You should prepare coins, foreigners."

   "Go." Pomona grabbed Ali Sandro and Monica's arms and stepped aside.

   "Do you want to make things difficult for me?" Severus took the wand out of his sleeve and began to circle the lobby.

   "I heard, are you a wizard?" Ombra asked as he went around in circles.

   "Yes, what are you?"

  "Servant." Ombra said, "A loyal servant, are you a loyal servant?"

   "No." Severus smiled weirdly. "I don't think Enrico Dandolo is a loyal servant, and the Venetian Republic is not a loyal servant."

  Ombra stopped and sneered, "You are good at provocation."

   "You too, how do you know I am not the master?" Severus also stopped smirking.

   "I can smell your scent." Ombra smiled and said, "You are a snake."

   "What are you? Watchdog?" Severus said.

  Ombra smiled bitterly and shook his head, and suddenly pierced it with a spatula like a scorpion's tail needle.
