Chapter 24: The Scarlet Moon: King of Kings

The deepest part of the Forbidden Forest. The World Tree after its destruction.

"I am the King of kings,

Achievements in the world,

Dare to convince the gods.

Now it's empty,

But see around the ruins,

Lonely flat sand empty reckless,

Stretch out to the desolation. ”

The crescent moon in the sky is like a pale scythe of death. The night wind whimpered, and in the gray mist of death, the shadow of death, the dementors drifted unconsciously. This is the deepest part of the Forbidden Forest, one of the forbidden places for wizards.

Two ghostly black shadows spun out from behind the twisted tree, one shrouded in black magic robes that would have been considered a clumsy Dementor if they weren't so complete, and the other, with conspicuous red hair and eyes glowing eerily red in the dark night, exuding an aura of extreme danger.

These two people are none other than the black-robed wizard and the rain summoner. These two people have mysterious origins and are extremely powerful, but Gellert Grindelwald has great trust in them and gives them a lot of power.

Ordinary wizards just think that they may be dark wizards who have been in seclusion for a long time, and only the truly strong can understand the special thing about the two of them - the black robe is not a living person at all, and the rain caller does not belong to this world!

Even when he remembered his name, it took me an unknown amount of time for the black robe. He even wondered if he was called by that name - maybe it was just the name of his own enemy - Crassus, the name of a powerful elven wizard who was once very prominent and famous.

This name has long been drowned in history, and even the so-called dark elves, nature elves, blood elves, druids and other races have completely disappeared, and in today's magical world, I am afraid that not many people will remember the name of an elf who has been dead for an unknown amount of time.

Although Crassus's memory is now shattered, this epic and magical place, the sacred place in his heart that has been defended countless times and vowed to give his life for is never forgotten.

The Eternal Land, where the World Tree is located, is now in ruins, and even the most powerful of the World Trees have become what they are today. It was once the holy land of the magic kingdom ruled by the elves, the home of all the hearts of the Forbidden Forest, the source of all elven magic and the home of the soul. It was the focus of the world for thousands of years. And now it's all gone with the wind.

Crassus, when he was awakened from his slumber, was an unconscious geist. He didn't even realize he existed. The once top wizard, with the fall of the Elven Dynasty, has become a poor ghost who is not even as good as a ghost.

Before the Elves were completely betrayed and destroyed by the wizards, the World Tree was once the sacred place of the Elves and the symbol of the entire Elves as a higher race. The World Tree itself is a magical artifact. Its powerful and mystical untold power has been talked about by wizards for centuries. It has always been the source of the magical power of the Night Elves.

But this is all in the past, a long, long time ago. Neither the World Tree nor the Elves of the past are now gone. They were all destroyed in a catastrophe a long, long time ago......

Crassus was full of thoughts.

"What do you seem to have on your mind?" asked the Raincaller, pretending not to care, "I think they should let you rest." ”

The black-robed wizard with an unclear face shrouded in black robe shook his head, "Rain Summoner, I know a little bit about your origins, but I don't know anything about how you came to this world. ”

Crassus tried his best not to dwell on the past, and continued, "I know what you want to know... I'm as full of questions about this as you are... We are all beings who are not supposed to be present in this world, I am awakened from the grave and the ashes, and you, called from the madness of the apocalypse..."

The Rain Summoner frowned, "Crassus, you misunderstood. Actually, for me, leaving that place was a little unaccustomed, but it wasn't a big deal. He turned and looked at the tree in front of him that looked like it had been scorched by thunder. "The reason why I chose to stay here has nothing to do with the mysterious power or the people behind it... I just don't know where I'm supposed to go. ”

Both fell silent. Perhaps from the outside, both of them are equally mysterious, and at the same time strangely appear next to Gellert Grindelwald, asking to join the wizarding army. There should be a very close relationship between the two. But the reality is quite the opposite.

Crassus didn't seem to want to argue about anything either. Because he understands that a Dark King like the Raincaller has long been as hard as steel. Kindness does not earn their gratitude, and malice does not invite special punishment. These kings of darkness only care about what they care about. They may be able to become friends if the Raincaller is willing.

Crassus wasn't worried about that, he was worried about his own life.

Both the World Tree and the Elves were destroyed in a terrible catastrophe. Although there is the betrayal and fall of the wizarding world, the real reason for the end of the entire elven empire is still the disaster itself - the destruction seal has been opened, and the endless power of destruction, like a tide, has washed the entire earth, and in less than a hundred years, the elven home has completely become a dead land.

As soon as the sorcerer Crassus thought of this, he sensed that another catastrophe was about to befall him.

The power to place him and the Raincaller in this world has definitely surpassed the highest level of mortals known to Crassus. Even the legendary forest demigods who lived in the age of the elves could not travel between time and space at will, or even catch a single specific person.

The Rain Summoner is a powerful dark wizard from the human world hundreds of years later, and he himself is a dead person. There is actually a power that can reverse time and space, and treat life and death as nothing, such a powerful power, apart from the gods, Crassus can't think of any other power.

The Raincaller and Crassus looked silently at the lifeless tree in front of them, both of them lost their lives.

"I'll tell you, Padma Patil, you haven't seen anything this time, it's from the Far East. You'll be pleasantly surprised. ”

Padma, one of the twins, smiled, and followed another girl out of the classroom, born in one of the highest castes in India, Padma did not believe that she had not seen anything beautiful in the Far East. Hallie Black watched her classmates leave one by one, she still had no intention of leaving, she was waiting for an opportunity, a chance to be alone with the divination professor. She knew that instead of expecting a miracle, she should work harder.

"Professor, do you need help?" all the students left, and Professor Sybil Trelawney was retrieving the crystal balls used for divination. She seemed taken aback by Hallie's words, looked up at Hallie, and seemed to realize that she was a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"No, noβ€”" Professor Sybil Trelawney lifted her glasses, feeling a little uncomfortable, and put a large crystal ball on the velvet, and she tried to escape.

"They all misunderstand you, don't they? Actually, it's really hard to be a prophet, if the prediction is not accurate, you will be considered a liar, but if the prediction is accurate..."Harley said in a low voice, the voice was completely different from her usual gentle and easy-going voice, with a hint of pride in the politeness, "If the prediction is accurate, it will bring danger to yourself." That's the price of peeking into the secrets of fate, isn't it?Descendants of the Legendary Sacrifice?"

Professor Sybil Trelawney was ready to flee, but hearing Harry's words, she froze in place as if she had been spelled by immobilization. "What do you want to know?" Professor Sybil Trelawney didn't look back, her voice less indistinct and uncertain.

Sunlight shines through the window and focuses into a point of light underneath the crystal ball. Harley picked up a crystal ball and said, "Before coming to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I attended another wizarding school. It wasn't Bubbaston, nor was it the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the northwest corner of Europe. It's a mystery school than either school. I once heard legends about your great-grandmother there. ”

Harley looked at the crystal and said in a disappointed tone, "It's no different." Divination does require special magical talents, but unfortunately I don't. But I'm curious about the future, so Professor Sybil Trelawney, can you help me?"

Sybil Trelawney turned, and she looked at Hallie Black carefully, "I know that the place you're talking about, a bunch of self-proclaimed Protoss, is just a bunch of poor homeless wanderers. If that's all you know, I'm afraid you won't get anything from me. ”

Hallie Black frowned. She wanted to know some of the things that had happened, and Professor Sybil Trelawney was the most important prophecy insider. Now if she's not willing to reveal anything, there's no chance of things going on. Halle Black paused slightly, and she said, "Of course you can look down on those people, but you can't help but answer my question, because that's what you owe me."

Sybil Trelawney seemed to hear such words for the first time, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and she stared at Hallie Black with all her attention, as if what was in front of her was not a beautiful and beautiful girl, but a book of destiny that needed to be memorized with all her might.

"It's you! it's you..."After a few minutes, the professor seemed to have finally come to a conclusion, but the conclusion itself was so shocking that she had to take a step back, "It's been circulating in the school, it's been circulating, it's been circulating, it's been saying that you're his daughter, it's his descendant, I thought it was just a legend, just some nonsense. I didn't expect it to be true - the daughter of the Dark Lord, the heir of Salazar Slytherin's bloodline, it turns out that you really exist. ”

"I think it's incredible, but I have to say that I really exist. Halle Black was puzzled by Professor Sybil Trelawney's reaction, she knew her identity was sensitive, but she didn't expect the professor to react like this.

"Haha, it turns out that trees and lightning can really exist at the same time. It was a real thing to happen, I always thoughtβ€”" Sybil Trelawney burst out laughing, and she leaned back on the cushion in a little madness, muttering to herself.

Overwhelmed by Sybil Trelawney's sudden madness, Hallie Black decided to ask the question she wanted to know the most: "Professor, now is not the time to dwell on this, I just want to know what your prophecy about the Dark Lord and his enemies was?"

"Don't you know?" Hearing Harley Black's inquiry, Sybil Trelawney stopped laughing and looked at Harley coldly. Hallie was a little stinged by the professor's piercing gaze, but she didn't shy away from it, but watched Sybil Trelawney's every movement closely.

"I really don't know. Harley replied.

"Speaking of which, it was this prophecy that changed the fate of the Dark Lord, do you hate me a little, and if I hadn't made this prophecy, maybe the Dark Lord would not have lost power...," said Sybil Trelawney.

"Even if the Dark Lord doesn't fail, I won't become a princess, I know that. Halle Black said impatiently, after she learned how Tom Riddle had treated her mother, Bellatrix Lestrange, Harley had long since lost the last illusion about Voldemort, and now she only wanted to protect her mother, "so don't worry about me getting revenge or telling that person about it." ”

If that's the case, then you want to know what the prophecy does? That person really doesn't mean anything to him, and the prophecy doesn't mean anything. Professor Sybil Trelawney asked.

"Yes, I thought that this prophecy did not mean anything to me, but recently I realized something, and I wanted to know, the full text of the so-called prophecy, to see if my terrible instincts were lying to me. Halle Black said with an ugly face.

Sybil seemed a little puzzled, "Of course you have the right to know, I can tell you, let me think about it, it's been a long time." After a while, Professor Sybil Trelawney said, "The man who has the power to conquer the Dark Lord has approached, born into a family that has defeated the Dark Lord three times, born in the seventh month, and the Dark Lord has labeled him as his fierce enemy. But he has powers that the Dark Lord does not understand, and one must die at the hands of the other, because neither of them can live, only one can survive. The one who has the power to conquer the Dark Lord will be born at the end of the seventh month. ”

"That's all?" asked Hallie Black, listening quietly.

"That's all, do you want to know the name of that man? Harry Potter. Now all wizards know his great name. Sybil Trelawney said.

"It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense at all. Hallie shook her head in annoyance and said.

"What doesn't make sense?"

"The Dark Lord is not a fool, he is not stupid at all. Why couldn't both of them survive?Harry Potter was just a kid who didn't know anything, and what about the Dark Lord? he almost finished ruling over Magical England, why couldn't the Dark Lord survive with a child?" Hallie shook her head again.
