Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 824 Seppieinnero

   "Do you think that dam will work, son?"

  On the boat that undulates with the waves, Ali Sandro’s father Fernando looked not far away and said that the "Moses Project" under construction entered the sea.

   "I don't know, the scientist said yes." Ali Sandro squeezed his eyes and said as in the book.

   "The floods are coming more and more frequently." Fernando said, "Did you see that tree?"

  Ali Sandro looked in that direction. He could see the canopy of a dead tree on the island, with a bull egret resting on the branch.

"When I was as old as you, my father also brought me here. It was still lush and lush," Fernando said. "Now the sea has soaked its roots, and the sea level is higher than it was 20 years ago. Up."

   "So what?" Ali Sandro asked.

"A scholar said that Moses’ hydrological data are from the 1980s. According to the plan at the time, the dam would not be opened more than 20 times a year. The sea level will be higher in the future. It will be opened 35 times a year, and there will be more than 180 days for the lagoon. Closed, then Moses will become a permanent barrier between Venice and the Adriatic Sea. The crazy algae will suffocate fish and shellfish. We have no fish to fight, and those migratory birds will not come without food."

   "I thought flamingos eat algae." Ali Sandro said, "That's what it says in the book."

  Fernando threw a bottle of mineral water to him.

   "Stupid boy, we will be the same as the squid soaked in our own ink."

  "Why don't you let me go to college?" Ali Sandro asked, "I will become smarter when I go to college."

"Do you know how much money the current college graduates earn? You can punt like me. Not only do you earn more than them, but you are also closer to home. Rich people all come to Venice, and smart people know how to choose." Fernando Said, and then unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank the water.

  Ali Sandro frowned, as if he felt that his father was wrong.

Everyone says that the destiny can be changed after going to university, but as my father said, some college graduates earn less than their father, and engineers only cost 2,000 euros. Even if you don’t work hard, you can easily get it in a month. With an income of 6,000 Euros, unlike Aunt Alicia, who needs to do two jobs.

  Why go to university?

  He looked at the fishing nets in the sea. His father was teaching him to fish. He sold the seafood. He could give the money he earned to his father as his living expenses at home until he found a suitable woman to get married and move out.

  So not going to school is the right choice. Smart people know how to choose.

  He smiled and unscrewed the mineral water bottle, drank water like his father, and then sang a small Venetian tune.

  A long time ago, there was also a boatman. He wanted to have a home. There was a good well in the yard. The water from the well was sweet, just like the mineral water he was drinking at the moment.

  ====================

"A good university lies not in the number of buildings in the school, but in the teachers inside." When Monica and the two wizards from England left, Ali Sandro and Gianluca drank local beer together and watched. The dam in the distance said, "They taught me not to be superstitious or credulous, whether it is academic authority or God the Father."

  "Do not believe what do they believe?" Ali Sandro asked.

   "I don't know either." Gianluca said, "This is why I want to know."

  "Do you think reading can solve this problem?"

   "I understand that it is better than others tell you. I don't want to be a person who is like a cloud." Gianluca looked at the stars in the sky. "Would you like to see the observatory? I have a telescope."

  "Me too!" Ali Sandro said excitedly, "The Halley's Comet came in the year I was born, and my dad bought an astronomical telescope for this."

   "You don't need an astronomical telescope to observe Halley's Comet." Gianluca said strangely.

   "Let's go, let's go to the observatory!" Ali Sandro stopped Gianluca's shoulder and said for the first time that he had something in common with real rich people. ====================

  The Patriarchal Cathedral of St. Mark’s Basilica is connected to the Doge’s Palace in Venice. Every Venetian knows that the Bishop of Venice in the Republic period was not appointed by the Holy See, but elected by the Diocese of Venice.

  You are a Venetian, and then you are a believer.

The current bishop of Venice is appointed by the Pope. Since 1807, the Basilica of San Marco has been the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Venice. Before that, San Marco had always been the Governor’s private chapel. The left wing of the church even hosted the Governor’s banquet. hall.

The remains of San Marco were smuggled to Venice under the pork. In fact, the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church have many inedible things, such as eel, but grilled eel is a dish often eaten by nobles, and fishermen can make a lot of money by catching eel money.

  What is it like to eat grilled eel in the cathedral?

  Ali Sandro looked at the golden mosaics above his head. After entering the central main entrance, there is the Holy Spirit Dome and the Prophet Dome, and finally the golden screen where the San Marco sarcophagus is parked.

  He doesn't come here very much. Although this is a must-visit place for tourists, this time he feels inexplicably nervous.

   Walking in the forefront was the wizard from England. Ali Sandro looked at his back and felt that he was like the emperor who was crowned and crowned the throne, but the emperor’s cloak was very gorgeous, and his was black.

  He always felt that the word oppression was written for fun, but he felt that kind of suffocation at the moment.

  Gianluca seemed very ordinary, but he followed the wizard.

  The man named Edgar Smith shouldn’t be here. There must have been Protestants here, but they are just tourists, and they have forgotten the dispute between Protestantism and Catholicism. Italy and the UK are EU member states, aren’t they?

   "Oh, that's crazy." Ali Sandro whispered in Italian. Fernando said that punting does not require a high degree of education, and he can try a different life.

  Now he feels dizzy, confused, and confused.

   But there is an unspeakable pleasure. He hopes that he can have a sword on his waist, so that he is more like a knight.

  He is not a smart person, besides, it looked cool to watch the wizard fight with the shadow that day.

  If he can learn to do one-to-many skills, he doesn’t need to go to school with a gun like Zodiac II. Although no one bullies him at school, it’s like making a movie.

  When he saw the priest in the white sacrificial clothing appear, an unspeakable excitement rose in his heart.

  Has he noticed that the person standing in front of him is a wizard, what would he say?

  "Is there any help?" The priest in white said to Edgar in black.

   "Can I talk to Bishop Francisco?" said the wizard.

  "May I ask you what's the matter?" The priest asked, "I can convey it for you."

   "I don't think you are qualified to know." The wizard said arrogantly, "Where is he?"

Father    was taken aback for a moment, and then humbly said, "Please follow me."

  Then lead the way and walk in the front, towards an area that is not open to the public.

Visitors admire the gorgeous Greek cross, and there are some ancillary facilities in the church. Without the golden mosaic, the ancient stone supporting the temple is exposed. After all, even if it was rebuilt in the 11th century, it has a history of 1,000 years. .

The new and old administrative residence buildings are also on Piazza San Marco. The two buildings are linked by the Napoleon Wing. Secular and faith are clearly distinguished, just like "God belongs to God, and Caesar belongs to Caesar" after the Reformation. Even if it is small as a cathedral, it will not occupy a secular place.

   "Why is it so easy? He used magic?" Ali Sandro whispered to Gianluca.

   "He didn't use a wand, I don't know." Gianluca whispered, "The priest took him to the bishop without asking who he was?"

  Ali Sandro suddenly flustered. The priest had no choice but to treat the wizard. What should ordinary people like them do?

  It didn’t take long for them to come to the office area, which is no different from an ordinary church school.

  The priest stopped in front of a room.

  "The bishop is not in the diocese, but the secretary-general is here. What is the same as what he said."

   "You can go now." The wizard said, and then the monk really left, and then he knocked on the door symbolically and pushed in directly.

Behind the door there is a middle-aged man wearing a black robe for training students. He has chestnut-colored hair, a long face, and a pair of glasses on his face. He doesn't know the three people who broke in, but he put a copper on the table. The bell rang, making a "jingle jingle" sound.

  The wizard took out his wand and waved forward. The bell immediately fell apart and stopped making a sound. The door behind him also slammed and closed automatically.

  "Who are you?" The Secretary-General asked calmly.

   "We need to talk." The wizard sat down opposite the Secretary-General with ease.

   "I have nothing to say to you, heresy." The secretary-general said firmly, "Please leave, the guards will come soon."

   "I am not a little wizard or a witch, do you think the number is a threat to me?" The wizard smiled weirdly. "The reason why the witch hunt movement is considered to be a persecution of women is because you mainly deal with women."

"We also dealt with men." The secretary-general said, "especially wizards. It is very difficult for you to be burned alive, but you also sometimes get drunk. After you fall asleep, a dagger can kill you. "

  "You never let people down in terms of killings. How did it feel to work at the beginning of the Fourth Crusade? I remember you were slapped by the Venetians once, and only the Franks went alone to retake the Holy Land."

  "Don't want to irritate me." The Secretary-General gritted his teeth and smiled, "What on earth do you want? Wizard."

"We and you have a common enemy, monk. I am different from your other enemies. I understand and sympathize with your experience. In the public literature and periodicals, there are millions of people who died by fire in the Middle Ages. But that's just a speculative figure. Scholars use an absurd way to calculate it, just like your divine judgment method to deal with the "wizards". They blamed you. The real hunting wizard is not Italy, but Lorraine. The Duke and Cologne’s candidates for emperor, the former is because family members suffer from mental illness, and the latter is because of ****. The Habsburg family regards the religious court as a tool to deal with dissidents. The "witch" you just mentioned means It’s them.” The wizard said in a slick tone, “When the temperature gets cold, the farmers can’t continue to cultivate on the original land. They leave their land and go to other warm or cities. Compared with Central Europe, the land is vast and sparsely populated. The Nordic witch hunting movement is much less. Iceland convicts mostly men. The wealthy citizens, priests, nobles and members of the royal family in the German diocese are all elite ruling groups. There is famine first, then plague. , Because of the chaos of public security, more people died than you were burned to death, and most of the villagers committee judged abuse of lynching by itself, let me think? How do those young people call themselves? "Little Prophet", I know a young man Man, he accused my godson of being the mastermind and murderer of an attempted murder case. He had no evidence, but only with a necklace that the murderer was my godson, just like he was a "prophet", knowing everything in the world, he judged It's all by my own feelings."

   "Then is he right?" the Secretary-General asked, "Is that ‘little prophet’ right?"

  The wizard did not answer.

“The lion’s mouth in the Republic of Venice will also receive a lot of reports accusing witchcraft.” The wizard said, “The Council of Ten arrests people based on evidence, but the Religious Tribunal arrests people based on the'evidence' of the wizard commissioner. I remember that there was a Dominican monk who published in the church’s internal publications that he should treat suspects kindly, carefully use circumstantial evidence, and use the penal proceedings. However, ordinary people in Europe at that time did not know your efforts, thinking that Germany, The wizarding panic in Birkenfield, Switzerland, and France was caused by you. The then Cardinal Francisco Obic tried to contain the panic, but no one listened."

"The anti-witch hunting movement is a sign of the progress of European civilization, but some people cannot push all the responsibility on us and treat us like Buddhists." The Secretary-General said, "How did you get access to the internal information of the church? Wizards. ."

   "I like reading." The wizard said, "Furthermore, Giulio Montelenchi is very famous. No wizard wants to be caught by that ‘detective’."

   "Who is that?" Ali Sandro asked Gianluca in a low voice.

  "Witchcraft case research expert." Gianluca said.

   "He didn't write that internal article." The secretary-general said, "It was written by Magistrate Desdrio Skeglia."

   "Like I said, I know your situation. Have you caught those new heretics who practiced demon worship? Venice has not executed fire torture, but I think these people need to be punished."

   "That was a problem during World War II." The secretary-general said, "Hitler and Mussolini finally studied black magic. A spy used extreme methods to turn the tide of the war."

   "He killed Linda and then abandoned her body in the lagoon?" Ali Sandro asked.

  "Who is this kid?" the secretary general asked.

   "No one." The wizard said, "He will be leaving soon."

   Immediately afterwards, Ali Sandro felt a blank in his mind, and then felt extremely happy.

   Then there was a voice asking him to leave the room, and he smirked and did so.

   "You have been blackened by ink." Before leaving, he heard the wizard say, "Why didn't you refute?"

   "You can really hide." The Secretary-General said angrily, "It's even worse if it gets soiled by your own ink!"

  Like a squid soaked in my own ink.

  He thought silly and closed the door.

  At the same time, he regretted that if he didn't ask that question just now, maybe he wouldn't have to be kicked out.
