Harry Potter Morning Light

I lay in a dream and would not wake up, and there was a beautiful song beside me, from the throat of a silver-eyed bird, and when I finally opened my eyes, I saw running past a woman with hair like a raven and Like the night, covered by a layer of silver nets, twinkling like stars, I heard the joyful laughter of children, and there is a good well in the courtyard of my house, I looked to the well to catch that dream, but they were all gone, I'm still a boatman, and what's worse is that my well is dry.

The mist on the sea has not subsided, and the orange sun shines softly on the Church of Our Lady of Ancon.

There was a young boy, sitting on the stone steps in front of the church, singing along with the rhythmic sound of regular waves hitting the shore.

The public cruise ship in the morning hadn't started running yet, there was only one lonely boat on the pier, and there was no one else on the shore except him and the seagull.

Alessandro noticed immediately when Pomona and Severus Apparated to the church door, and he stopped singing and stood up, looking a little nervous.

I wanted to come and make out with you sooner. Severus looked at the boy in the white shirt and said, Just like we used to do in school, before the meeting people came... ouch!

Pomona pinched him hard.

I won't make out with you here! She spat, indicating that she had sworn a poisonous oath.

He didn't take what she said seriously at all.

Ciao! Severus said in Italian in a good mood.

Good morning, Alessandro said nervously.

Where is your cousin? Pomona looked for Monica everywhere.

She's on the opposite side. Alessandro looked back in the direction of St. Mark's Square, I've been waiting for you for the past few days.

Wait for us? Why? Severus smiled interestedly, wrapping himself in the cloak like a bat again.

My father said that you don't need a high degree to punting. I'm young and I can try a new life. Alessandro looked Severus in the eyes and said, Can you teach me a little bit?

Severus sighed Why is every kid better than Harry Potter?

Because he has a good mother? Pomona smirked.

Severus avoided the question warily, looking at Alessandro.

Your father was a boatman?

Yes.

I heard that pays a lot?

It has nothing to do with money... please give me this chance.

Someone once said that besides coal and oil, the most profitable people are gondola boatmen.

A boatman’s monthly income starts at least 6,000 Euros, but it’s not easy to be a boatman.

Monica, whom Pomona valued very much, did not appear. She did not expect the adventurousness and opportunism of the Venetians to be reflected in this young man who seemed ordinary to her, and he didn't even know their real names.

The early bird gets the worm, and the early worm gets eaten by the bird. You can only know if it is a worm or a bird at the gambling table of fate.

Pomona looked at the looming bell tower of St. Mark's Church on the opposite bank, and it seemed that Monica's dream of becoming a female governor was really just a dream.

What do you want to learn? You can't learn witchcraft.

I don't know, what else do you know but witchcraft? Alessandro asked Severus a little defiantly.

You know how lucky you were to win? Severus said. Fortunately your opponents are fools.

What?

You always think that Enrique Dandolo has made a big deal. In fact, if the Count of Champagne announces to the world that you Venetians are Judas, you have betrayed the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire and blackmailed them with debts. Righteous people, then the Crusaders can attack you Venice in turn, you earned a lot of money during the Eastern Expedition.

I don't know if the Earl of Champagne is a fool. Alisandro said, It is the domestic disputes in Eastern Rome that give people an opportunity, not to mention Dandolo's eyes were also blinded by the Byzantine assassins.

There is such a passage in the Bible that on Friday the thirteenth, the day Jesus was crucified, the Jews demanded that his body be removed from the cross because they said that criminals should not be executed on the Saturday before the Sabbath.

The service period of the Roman army is twelve years. As long as you can live to retire, you will enjoy various government subsidies in your later life.

But the vast majority of people will not survive that time. Rome is a warlike nation. Babies will be killed if they are not strong enough. It is considered lucky for civilians to live to adulthood.

Blind like Longinus, a Roman soldier who survived was really lucky, not to mention he became a centurion.

Blindness obviously must have affected his future military career, but he was still alive.

The man crucified with the thorns on his head, the crimes committed by his prisoners were read out publicly, but that was an Israeli problem, not much to do with the Romans, Longinus and his Centuries just came maintain order.

Because to remove the prisoner, the soldiers wanted to break the legs of the crucified man. They saw that the man being paraded was dead, so they didn't do this. Longinus stabbed the prisoner with a long spear before making sure that the prisoner was dead. His body was stained with blood, and his eyes were no longer blind.

The little Roman centurion probably never dreamed that a simple spear he had prepared would become a sacred object, let alone that there would be so many people vying for it.

This spear is called the Spear of Destiny. According to legend, whoever gets it can sweep Europe and rule the world. Now it is said that it is placed in the sacrificial hall of a magnificent church, but no one knows whether it is true or not.

After the start of the Eastern Expedition, Venice lost the Eastern market. In order to save the sluggish business, Dandolo made a big effort to rectify the finances.

In the history of Venice, there are very few soldiers or businessmen who betrayed or sold their motherland. The reason is probably very simple. A Venetian with a stable income depends on his status, and about one-sixth to one-fourth of his property is in the form of National bonds are held, and there is even a law that stipulates how many national bonds must be subscribed for holding an official position above a certain level. If you treason, the money will probably evaporate along with it.

It is impossible to use money to buy the governor of Venice into treason. The biggest possibility is power, which is why Constantinople fell.

If women and wealth don't make them lose their minds, power does.

No matter how rich the Holy See is, the military expenditure of the Crusades is also a bottomless pit. The Western Romans asked the Eastern Romans to pay a little money. After all, the pagans were wiped out, and they could live a clean life, but the Eastern Roman Empire Taxation and other issues caused riots among the citizens, and the emperor’s attitude was to give military expenses and not to pay at other times. As a result, the fourth Eastern Expedition ended with burning, killing and looting his own people. The emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire fled in a hurry, and later established the Nicaean Empire.

While the two were exchanging feelings, Pomona planned to find something to eat around.

Looking at such a beautiful scenery for a picnic is actually pretty good.
