Chapter 1402: A Conspiracy to Pay for the Water

Inside the auditorium, all eyes were on the newly arrived cardinal of the Holy See.

At a time when the power of the Roman Empire was rapidly weakening, the Holy See was growing in power.

The Great Schism between the East and the West, as it became famous, had not yet begun, and the British royal family had not initiated a Reformation to break away from the papal rule, and the influence of the Holy See reached its peak during this period, and the Pope, like the rest of Europe, was now the de facto custodian of England.

Most of England was mined by the Pope, who was able to remove a Muggle king or lord.

In the wizarding world, it's not like Muggles have the final say.

But the influence of the Holy See in the wizarding world can not be ignored, because some members of the Holy See inherited the magical civilization system of the Roman Empire, they have always claimed to be the authentic magic, the Holy See and successive popes have never given up the efforts to suppress, manage and co-opt wizards, and have used many methods, even at the expense of launching holy wars and later famous witch hunts, as the world's most famous and important wizard gathering area, the British wizarding community has always borne the lead.

In the eyes of the priests and monks of the Holy See, the shaman was an outright heretic.

However, in this era, the attitude of the Holy See towards the wizarding world was not so extreme, but a relatively mild co-optation and infiltration influence, and the relationship between the two sides was therefore not so sharp, and the Holy See was the largest force in the wizarding world except for the Presbyterian Church.

They were very powerful, and in addition to their own priests and monks, they also co-opted many shamans.

Therefore, although the relationship between the two sides was not very friendly, no one dared to ignore the visit of a cardinal, who was second only to the Pope in the Holy See, and the wizards on the stage greeted him, whether they wanted it or not.

The only exceptions were Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor, who did not accept each other's greetings.

The appearance of Slytherin was originally intended to calm things down, try to avoid a possible dispute and turmoil, and maintain the stability of the wizarding world. He knew about the conspiracy of the pure-blood wizard family, and also guessed Ravenclaw's plan, and originally wanted to mediate, but with the arrival of the cardinal, there was no possibility of ending.

Slytherin muttered a word of boredom, glanced in the direction of the Great Hall's door, and vanished from where it was.

It was as if he hadn't been there at all, and as Slytherin left, the pressure in the air was noticeably lessened.

Many wizards breathed a sigh of relief, especially in the Slytherin House area.

Evan felt as if his body had become much lighter, and around him, many students were whispering things like they were terrible.

Slytherin's realm magic and the pressure it brings are too obvious, and the magic he exudes controls the auditorium all the time, which is crushing in strength, and Salazar Slytherin has become recognized as the strongest in the wizarding world at this time, right?!

After Slytherin left, Gryffindor took the initiative to meet him and walked next to the distinguished cardinal.

They talked a few words, but Evan didn't hear clearly, and Gryffindor seemed to be saying that the other party was not invited......

"Oh yes, I didn't get an invitation to speak. The cardinal raised his voice and replied, "But I have come to Hogwarts today to follow the guidance of the gods and the joint invitation of three respected wizards to come here and witness the truth!"

"Respected wizard?!How did I not know someone invited you to Hogwarts?"

"It's us!" a languid voice rang out, and a thin, pale wizard hurried into the auditorium.

He had long, eye-catching blond hair and nodded to the cardinal on the stage as he walked through the crowd towards the central platform.

Needless to say, he must have been a member of the Malfoy family again.

Probably the father of the guy just now, Evan greeted him from the two boys.

Immediately afterward, Clive Peverell saw Evan near the entrance to the auditorium and waved to Evan to come over.

The guy probably thought of Evan as Anne Black, and Evan looked away from him.

From the chatter around him, he knew that the guy who had just come in was the patriarch of the Malfoy family.

"You invited him? It's ridiculous, when did Hogwarts become the castle of the Malfoy family?!" Gryffindor exclaimed.

"It's not just the Malfoys, it's the Peverells and the Blacks, it's a decision that all three of us made together. ”

"Hmph, you stubborn, old-fashioned pure-blood wizard families have made decisions that are worthless at Hogwarts. ”

"What about the Presbyterians?does Hogwarts obey the orders of the Presbyterians?" Malfoy asked, a sneer rising at the corner of his mouth, as he pulled out a thick roll of parchment from his bosom, "Actually, I have just received an appointment from the Presbyterian Church, and after receiving a report about the loss of Lady Ravenclaw's crown, the Presbyterian Council decided to investigate the matter through discussion twenty minutes ago. They have appointed me, Armand Malfoy, to investigate this matter, do you need me to read the appointment?"

"You've been ordained by the Council of Elders?!' this is a dastardly conspiracy!" Gryffindor cried out, "can't ...... so soon"

"Watch your wording, Gryffindor, otherwise, I'll think you're a challenge to the authority of the Presbyterians. Armand Malfoy said slowly, "What do you want to question, is this appointment and my sudden appearance dramatic?!, to be honest, I was also very surprised when I received the letter from my son and dear Clive this morning, and I completed the meeting with the patriarchs of the Peverell family and the Black family as quickly as possible, and assessed the situation, for the sake of the stability of the wizarding world, the three of us hoped to investigate the matter, and together persuaded the Council of Elders to make a temporary decision. Anyway, like the three of us, all the Presbyterians who attended the impromptu meeting seemed to think that it was important whether Ms. Ravenclaw's crown was really lost. ”

"Thank you for your concern!" said Ravenclaw calmly, "the Council of Elders has shown remarkable efficiency in this matter. ”

This sentence was undoubtedly ironic, and Armand Malfoy did not answer.

At present, it seems that they are obviously working on both sides at the same time, thinking of everything, and they are really urgent!

One link after another, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, they did not intend to leave Ravenclaw with any chance.

"Wait, even if you're in charge of investigating this, what does that have to do with this ridiculous monk?" asked Gryffindor.

"I must remind you once again of your words, Gryffindor, or you will offend both the Presbyterian Church and the Holy See, which will cause Hogwarts a lot of trouble, and it is really not a rational thing to talk like this at this time, although I never thought you had any brains. "Master Blakes is one of the twelve cardinals of the Holy See, and one of the most proficient in prophecy, and we invited him because we believe he will tell us the answer......
