Chapter 3009 The ghost in the distance (fourteen)

After being crowned emperor in Aachen, Rudolph I did not immediately launch an Eastern Expedition as he had promised the Pope.

It is precisely because Rudolph's imperial power is limited, he can only control the army in his own territory, and cannot control the situation of the feudal princes, and he is very clear that he still has several competitors waiting to be resolved, and his opponents are just unwilling Yielding to the Pope will not be recognized by the Pope.

At the same time, because he gave up the territories of Italy and Sicily, in order to solve the financial problems of the empire, he began to impose annual taxes, special taxes and property taxes on the cities. At that time, there were many knights who occupied the castle in Germany. Whether they robbed passers-by like robbers, or set up checkpoints on the main roads that business travelers passed through, and required them to pay toll taxes, they were regarded as a separate party, and they hoped as Rudolf I did. expand the territory.

In short, these cities and knights did not submit to the emperor, so the emperor sent troops to wipe them out one by one, but before that, the emperor issued a law in order to "maintain the law and order of the empire", no one should continue to fight against others.

Whether it is a robber knight or anyone else, anyway, the Holy Roman Empire has once again restored peace and order from the chaos, and compared with riding and hacking, marriage diplomacy is more important in the expansion of the Habsburg royal family's territory. played an important role. It was also through marriage that Charles V of Habsburg gained the right to rule Spain.

Pomona picked up a white rose from the bucket. This rose has no thorns. However, it is not that it was born without thorns. In order to avoid hurting the guests, the businessman removed the thorns on it, so that the guests can rest assured. Enjoy the beauty and fragrance of roses without worrying about getting hurt.

What rose has no thorns? If you are unwilling to reach out to pick a rose because you are afraid of being stabbed, then you are only looking at the rose from a distance.

But some people would rather be in pain, and have blood on their hands from being pricked by rose thorns, but they will also pick it off.

Pain wakes people from the big dream.

"How much?" Severus asked.

"Ten pounds," said the florist.

"So expensive?" Pomona asked.

"These flowers were flown in from Holland." The boss was explaining that Severus had already paid for it.

"It's already considered cheap. There is a rose called Juliet that costs several million pounds." The boss took the money and explained enthusiastically.

He smiled, put his arm around Pomona's shoulders, and left the flower shop turned from a newsstand.

In Muggle London, no one knew the "big celebrity".

Pomona took the rose and sniffed it up to her nose. She felt that there was nothing special about this "airlifted rose from Holland".

"Me too," Severus said.

Pomona pointed the rose at him, but he ignored the rose and kissed her in the park.

It was daytime, and there were still many passers-by in the park, but they were not surprised by the scene in front of them, which was very common in the first place.

Now that he's out, let's go to the restaurant for dinner. I'm afraid the mutton soup will disappoint him, so he ordered lamb chops.

Red wine seems to go better with red meat and champagne with white meat, which is what Pomona ordered.

Red roses, white roses, red wine, champagne, and various other spices combined into this kiss. She felt dizzy and subconsciously grabbed the front of his clothes, as if she could only stand firm in this way.

"It smells good." He praised, then put his arms around her and continued walking towards the cinema.

The closer you are to the cinema, the more you can see various movie posters. Of course, the ones that occupy the main space are the hot ones.

"Why does he look so pale?" Pomona squinted, looking at the actor wearing sunglasses, probably because the poster had been posted for a few days, and it looked a little faded after being exposed to the wind and sun.

Severus laughed when he heard that, as if she had entertained him.

She didn't understand what he was thinking, and then went to buy tickets. Fortunately, the most popular show time had passed, and they didn't need to wait in a long line to buy movie tickets.

"A ticket, thanks," Pomona said to the conductor.

"Where's this gentleman?" the conductor said, looking at Severus.

"He doesn't," said Pomona dryly.

Maybe the conductor had never seen such a strange person, she kept staring at Severus while tearing up the ticket stub, she was lucky, the show to watch was about to begin.

"Aren't you going to buy Braveheart?" Pomona asked.

"No need." He said coldly, took her hand and left the line, and walked towards the screening hall with big strides.

She trotted all the way to keep up, and when she reached the ticket gate, Pomona was about to hand the ticket in her hand to the staff when Severus suddenly raised a hand.

The staff member had a professional smile on his face, but as soon as Severus raised his hand, his eyes glazed over.

"Both," Severus said, and walked generously into the auditorium.

"Oh! You...you..."

"Your tongue was bitten by a cat?" He looked at her inexplicably.

"You used the Confusion Charm on him?" Pomona asked in a low voice.

He didn't answer, and took her to the screening room, found a seat at the back and sat down.

"This is not my place!" Pomona grumbled, looking at her ticket.

Not long after, the rightful owner of their place came with popcorn and Coke, but they saw Severus from a distance, and wisely chose to turn around and leave.

"Look, the staff will come later." Pomona said angrily.

"You want some popcorn?" he asked with a smile.

Pomona glared at him.

As a result, when the movie started and the lights dimmed, no one came to trouble them. She could only comfort herself that the auditorium seemed empty, and they found other seats.

As soon as the movie opened, there was a full screen of green light, followed by a large number of digital special effects, as if creating a sci-fi atmosphere.

It didn't take long for a very daily scene in the United States, the police carried out tasks with guns, and then "agents" appeared.

"I think we can handle a little girl," the inspector said to the agent with a smile.

"You think he can do it?" Severus asked, looking at the cop.

Pomona shook her head. "That little girl will teach him a lesson."

Then came the fighting scene, the heroine "solved" the policemen with amazing moves.

"What would you do if it were you?" Severus asked.

Pomona watched the screen as the heroine leaped to the other side of the rooftop in an incredible, gravity-defying fashion.

"How is this possible?" said the policeman who was chasing her.

That's what Pomona wants to say.

How can this be?

Unless it's all fake.

She turned her head and looked at the person beside her. His side face seemed not to be alive against the green light.

Then he seemed to notice her gaze, and turned to look at her.

"You don't exist," says the gangster "boss" in the movie. "What's wrong, man? You're paler than usual."

"Do you ever have that feeling of not knowing if you're awake or dreaming?" the hero asks.

"This is often the case." The gang boss said, "It's a drug reaction, and only then can you fly."

"I'll fly away," Pomona said, looking at him, putting his hand on his chest like in the movie "Rabbit." "That's going to be fun."

He sneered and turned to watch the movie.

"I'd be wasting two precious hours of my life."

At this time, loud music sounded in the movie, and the hero followed "Rabbit" to a nightclub.

"Be quiet and watch a movie," Pomona said, "or I'll kick you out."

He looked at her in surprise, and Pomona smiled and said nothing.

She felt his heart beating when she put her hand on his chest just now.

If even this is false, what else is true?
