Chapter 3180 Giant Whale and Elephant (4)

Michael often appears as a warrior holding a long sword. He is the most dazzling among the angels, just like his name like God.

But this angel who can defeat Satan represents mercy. When Abraham was about to sacrifice his only son Isaac, it was Michael who stopped him.

The Bible does not say that the messenger is Michael, but artists all create works in the image of Michael.

Although the goddess of hunting replaced Agamemnon's daughter with a deer, the goddess of revenge still ruled that blood revenge was established. After his wife and lover killed Agamemnon, his son killed his mother and lover in order to avenge his father. , who committed the felony of matricide and was hunted down forever by the goddess of revenge.

Finally, he was guided by Apollo and came to Athena to seek judgment. Athena selected the most impartial citizens in Athens to serve as judges and held trials on Mars Hill. It is said that this was the origin of the Ares Hill Council in Athens.

But now was not the time to think about this. Although they were freed from the entanglement, Georgiana and Bougainville sat on a horse-drawn sleigh and circled around the Compiègne Palace. At this time, they came to a lake.

Although the weather was not particularly cold, there was still a thin layer of ice on the lake, and there was no scenery at all. However, it was quiet and there was no one around.

Bougainville pulled the reins and stopped the horse.

I don't want to say any more nonsense. You know what my purpose is. Bougainville looked at Georgiana and said.

I'm not slandering you, she said immediately.

I know that the First Consul has not given up on us yet. Bougainville sighed and looked around, But our life is really difficult.

Georgiana said nothing.

Can you give us some guidance? Bougainville asked.

I don't know either. I'm just a woman, and I don't understand war. Georgiana said.

Bougainville looked at her, and she looked back without hesitation.

I am not the first European to set foot on Tahiti. Bougainville looked into Georgiana's eyes and said, The first person to discover it was the British Captain Wallis.

I knew that necklace was not simple. She smiled bitterly.

Don't you like it? Bougainville asked.

Those black pearls exude a malachite green luster. Even in the 20th century, when Tahitian pearls could be cultivated artificially, black pearls of this quality were difficult to see.

The first people to settle on that island for a long time were the British. They lived on King George III Island. Bougainville said. When I arrived there, I immediately declared that the island belonged to France. Captain Cook also went there the next year.

If the trouble it causes is greater than the happiness it brings, I would rather not give up such a precious gift. Georgiana said with a cold face.

You can throw it away like another necklace. Nice to meet you. Bougainville shook her hand slightly forcefully, and then drove the sled forward.

Along the way, Bougainville was still telling the story of Tahiti.

No one was originally interested in that small island in the South Pacific. Although the scenery on the island was indeed beautiful, a missionary discovered that the island produced beautiful pearls, which were hung just like the ladies in London and Paris. On the neck of an indigenous woman, the British established trade relations with Chief Pomare in 1788 to provide him with advanced weapons.

With these weapons, Pomare conquered tribes on other islands smoothly, so in the same year, Pomare established the Kingdom of Tahiti.

It all went incredibly smoothly, and in order to improve living conditions on the island, the British brought new seeds and fruits.

There was a speedboat named Bounty at that time. The carpenter on board refused to carry out the captain's order to go ashore to cut wood and water the plants, saying that it was not his job.

The carpenter disobeyed the order, and the captain could not do anything to him because his work was very important. Even if the carpenter was handed over to the court afterwards, it would be useless because the captain's authority had been seriously challenged.

The captain announced the terms of war and the contents of the commission in front of the entire crew, forcing the carpenter to retreat, but new trouble arose.

The ship's doctor was a drunkard, and scurvy was common on ships at the time. To avoid this problem, the captain prepared a lot of lemons.

But one crew member still got scurvy. It was not serious at first, but because the doctor neglected his duty, the crew member died.

In addition, several crew members on the ship developed symptoms and were misdiagnosed by doctors.

Fortunately, there was no infectious disease on the ship. The doctor finally died of drunkenness in the sea, and then they arrived in Tahiti.

The captain brought many gifts, and the chief received them warmly and gave them a lot of breadfruit. The captain had strict restrictions on the crew and did not allow the use of firearms unless there was a life-threatening situation.

Christmas was spent peacefully, but due to the negligence of the crew, some islanders stole iron pieces and other forging supplies from the ship.

Those things are not valuable in Europe. I don’t know how much a Tahitian pearl can be exchanged for, but it was scarce at that time and there.

The Bounty encountered a storm at the Cape of Good Hope and needed to be repaired. It couldn't be repaired without iron sheets. The captain then checked to see what the damage was, and the result was even more annoying.

The sails were moldy due to improper preservation and could no longer be used. The marine clock was an indispensable instrument in navigation, but it stopped because it was not wound.

These are the duties of a carpenter.

If he had a choice, the captain would have replaced the carpenter, but he had no choice at the time.

Then deserters appeared, which was not uncommon in the Pacific, although desertion was a capital offense.

But the captain got angry and accused the crew of being a bunch of scoundrels who didn't care.

Then the records about this ship disappeared. When it appeared again, it was an American whaling ship passing by a small island called Pitcairn.

There is only one adult male on the island, 10 indigenous women, and the children he had with them. Due to a mutiny on the ship, the captain directed the people who did not participate in the mutiny to arrive at Timor Island controlled by the Dutch and made a report. Then the captain returned to Tahiti with the reinforced Royal Navy and sent the British soldiers who participated in the mutiny to Tahiti. Captured, brought to England and hanged.

Some of the mutineers fled, and they came to Pitcairn Island, where they burned the ship and cut off everyone's hope of returning to civilization. Then they began to build on the island, using the same materials they had originally planned to plant in Tahiti. plant seeds.

Wait, I think I've heard this story before, Georgiana said.

Of course, you should have heard about it in Mechelen. Bougainville said, Civilized people and indigenous people were fighting each other, and then civilized people were fighting each other, and then there were only two people left, and they swore on the Bible. There was no more fighting, but one of them died soon after, and only one adult male survived, who was teaching children to read and write when the Americans found him.”

It dawned on her.

If you just talk about Pitcairn Island, most people just think it is somewhere on the earth, but the Tahitian Pearl is only found in one place in the world. With such coordinates as a reference, it is easy to have an idea.

Therefore, this is why the Germans gave up their private rights to avenge blood crimes and handed the sinners to the court for trial.

Kant believes that enlightenment is the escape of human beings from their own immaturity. Immaturity does not consist in a lack of reason, but in a lack of courage and determination to use one's reason without the guidance of others. Have the courage to use your reason, this is the slogan of the Enlightenment.

Devotees believe that a person who intends to do evil but successfully resists evil impulses is worthy of praise, but why are they banned?

Shame is a useful quality. Adam and Eve first felt shame before covering their bodies with leaves.

This is a higher-level feeling that is different from other animals in the Garden of Eden. When I can feel shame, it proves that my spirit exists.

After all, people still live in the world, not to mention that the Mongols had already arrived, and Germany had become the front line against the infidels.

But she also didn't know whether Bonaparte's approach to the French navy worked, because that was part of the fate of war.

The purebred horse was pulling a simple sleigh speeding across the thin snow, and the metal on the harness made a crisp sound like a bell. Even though it was Christmas, she didn't feel as excited as she had in Godric's Hollow.

She was really scared, what if she was like this on the dog sled.

She really doesn't want to grow up and become an adult.
