Chapter 589 The Middle Ages (Modified, Sincere Thanks to the Leader Liren 1 Song Shenggeluo)
The weak Allen had no room for criticism. Allen had a bad night. The nightmare about Luna and the dull pain of the wound kept interrupting his sleep. It also rained all night, and it rained. The rain pounded on the tent, and the air was humid.
After breakfast, Rowena Ravenclaw poured out a bowl of cold broth. She conjured up the floating dish again and floated it to a position parallel to Allen's bed. Her head was facing the floating dish. The saucer nodded and motioned for Allen to lie down. Allen supported his body and reluctantly rolled himself into the floating saucer.
"The ointment I brought is not enough to pull out all the warthog teeth on your face. When I get home, I will go to the neighbor's garden to pick some fresh herbs and make it again." Rowena La explained for Allen. Winklaw took the floating Allen out of the tent. Allen's eyes were looking at the scenery around this lonely tent. This was a very remote hillside, full of dark, foggy and desolate scenery. . Only a few fields separated them from the dark hills. The fields were scarcely well cultivated, and some wild and barren heather grew on either side of the fork.
The surface of this hillside looks very flat, but the color changes slightly. Marshes covered with rushes and mosses are green, while dry soil with only heather is black. Dark clouds were coming over the sky, and the sky was getting darker. These differences were only differences in light and dark, because the colors had faded with the disappearance of the daylight.
Allen's eyes searched the dim hillside, and followed the edge of the hillside farther away. At this time, Allen's pupils involuntarily dilated, and a woman whose whole body was burned black and had been charred was He was tied to a wooden frame that was charred by the fire, and his limbs were twisted in pain.
When Ravenclaw used his wand to direct the tent and some cooking utensils and other debris outside, Allen, who was looking around with nothing to do, noticed that the tent looked small from the outside. From the outside, it seemed that it could only accommodate A person is inside.
Looking up at the woman's body, Ravenclaw shrugged and said to Allen, "This Muggle peasant woman was burned to death as a witch because these Muggles accidentally ate contaminated rye - according to My distant relative's research many years ago was that rye was easily parasitized by a hallucinogenic fungus, but Muggles didn't think so, so many so-called 'witches' were burned to death." Rowena ? Ravenclaw said lightly, as if it was commonplace, "Many young wizards who are rioting with magic and wizard apprentices who are not high enough will be persecuted by the church for exposing their identities. Muggles especially like this scene of burning wizards to death." , or the scene of executing anyone, it is a popular form of entertainment for them. Usually when someone is executed, the whole town will watch it, but after the execution, the execution place becomes a place where everyone avoids it. It's a place - you seemed to have a strong reaction to this just now, so Muggles in your time have finally made some progress?"
Allen hesitated for a moment and nodded to Ravenclaw. He couldn't speak, so he couldn't tell Ravenclaw that in fact, within a hundred years of his era, 'wizards' were still occasionally persecuted and executed... …
"Huh? It doesn't look much better? But this does bring convenience to me. Although I'm not afraid of those Muggles, I can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble by setting up camp here after they finish their execution. The only place nearby is All that can be seen is the executioner. The Muggles force him to live outside the village. The law does not provide protection for the executioners. They are also not allowed to set foot in bathhouses, taverns and other public places, so being petrified for a day or two means that there are no Muggles. You'll find it." Rowena Ravenclaw pointed at the geometrically distributed village with about twenty small houses surrounded by fences on the edge of the wasteland. The small houses have gray thatched roofs and the outer walls are plastered with clay. There are also very small semi-underground huts - a house built on the ground with steps leading down to the inside and covered with a simple thatched roof - these are the homes and refuges of the poor.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Allen felt that the Ravenclaw in front of him felt a little closer than yesterday, and compared to Luna, the other person seemed to like chatting with him who couldn't speak - although the other person seemed to just want to find a listener and didn't care. Can you respond to these topics yourself?
After finishing cleaning up, Rowena Ravenclaw came over to regain control of the floating saucer under him. He suddenly approached Allen, sniffed him and then pursed his lips, "It's so clean. It seems that you are also a big man living in the castle." Born into a noble family? Boy, you're lucky. The habits I developed as a child meant that the tree house I've lived in for the past few years also has a big bathtub - you can feel free to ask my house elves to help you prepare it, but I don't know how to mix baths. Besides, even if you are a knight without a sword, I will not help you take a bath." As if she felt that her words were a bit harsh, Ravenclaw paused and deliberately softened her tone, "Now I am more used to cleaning myself. It saves time, even though I actually wash it every six or seven days... so my neighbors laugh at me for being too clean."
Alan, who was lying on the floating saucer, found that he was fortunately unable to speak to avoid this embarrassment... It also reminded him of some customs in the Middle Ages, which were different from what most people misunderstood. In fact, although the church usually opposed cleaning the body, priests or monks Bathing is only allowed twice a year - at Christmas and on the feast days of some chosen guardians. But despite this, there are public bathhouses in towns of a slightly larger size. People not only go to bathe, but also to socialize. Contrary to today's beliefs, people were not very formal, especially in the early to mid-Middle Ages, when men and women shared bathhouses together. The social nature of aristocratic large bathtubs or more luxurious large baths is even more important. It was not uncommon in the Middle Ages in Western Europe for a group of noble ladies to serve a knight to bathe, because it was right for a knight to enjoy the attentive service of the hostess or the master's daughters while bathing. This knight showed great respect, and taking a steaming bath here symbolized great hospitality. In fact, during the Black Death, this behavior greatly increased the chance of cross-infection, and also allowed the church to take the opportunity to publicize that the epidemic was caused by bathing. Brought...
While Ellen was thinking wildly, Ravenclaw had already pointed forward with her wand, and a large, semi-realistic horse-shaped creature made of shadows was created out of thin air by her.
Shadow horses have black heads and bodies, disembodied black smoke-colored manes and tails, and four more atomized hooves. When UU Reading www.uukanshu.net walks, they do not make any sound. It also had a saddle, bits, and reins that seemed to be made of black mist.
"The Phantom Pony is much more comfortable to sit on. That day I suddenly realized that I had made a blood pact with someone. When the Phantom Apparition arrived near the stream, I was afraid that it was a trap. It was really a shame to choose to ride those broomsticks in order to save some magic power and prepare for the battle. Bad idea." Rowena Ravenclaw mounted the shadow mount and let out a comfortable sigh before letting it fly slowly at low altitude on the ground.
Allen also learned this spell in Ravenclaw Tower, but the popularity of modern wizards with floo nets, door keys, and flying broomsticks after the Cushion Curse has made this kind of summoning more difficult and requires more magic power. The mount enchantment is gone. ——And Allen himself has mastered the ability to fly similar to that of Dementors, so he has never actually applied this similar mount spell in real life.
However, this spell is based on the actual effect of the wizard's strength. Low-level wizards can only use it to run on sand, mud, and swamps without any difficulty or slowdown. After improving their strength, they can only do this. Things like walking on the water, and Ravenclaw directly let this horse made of shadows fly through the air without any effort. This also shows that although Rowena Ravenclaw has just become an adult, The talent she displayed has already destined her to become one of the four greatest wizards of this era.
Allen turned his head to judge the general direction and found that they were flying south. Then during the long journey, Ravenclaw almost didn't speak again. Allen watched the smoky horse's tail in front of him wagging back and forth. , and soon fell asleep again on the floating saucer, which had no turbulence at all.
