Chapter 277: Zoya (2)

The controversy over the astrological tower reminded the young wizards of the legendary life of the Divination Professor. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info a prophetic sorcerer with the blood of Apollo's sacrifice, who was also cursed by the god Apollo, and no one would believe her prophecies, even though she was right.

Descending from the astrological tower, looking down the spiral staircase, in the afterglow of the setting sun, tiny particles of dust, like many small fish, swim from one ray of light to another. The temperature in late spring is slowly rising, and there is an indescribable fragrance in the air. The students, dressed in various shades of wizarding robes, left the classroom in groups.

The stained glass is engraved with distant legends, sages on crutches and famous witches from a long time ago, looking at the world with compassion. There are occasional nicks on the armrests, and I don't know which naughty child's handiwork.

There is a breeze rising from below, bringing a hint of coolness. Shayne stood outside, waiting for Hermione to come out. "Why has it been so long?"

"I accidentally heard something strange. Hermione was holding her book, her hair was messy today, I don't know if it was because she hadn't slept well. Hermione walked ahead as the stairs began to move, and she had to stop.

"Oh? I noticed that it seems that two Durmstrang students stayed at the end, did you hear anything about Igor Karkaroff?" Shayne followed, glancing at Hermione.

"No, Andrew, you always care about the grown-ups, but you don't know what your classmates are thinking. You're just a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who hasn't graduated, and you're still a long way from graduation. Hermione looked back at Shea and said quickly.

"Hermione, didn't you hear Professor Divination today? As long as we are not pitifully abandoned, then whatever we do is actually designed. Xie An shook his head and pretended to be helpless.

"Hmph, Andrew, don't pretend. We've all known each other for so long, what do you think. I'm well aware. But speaking of which, Sybil Trelawney is indeed a little strange today, she doesn't smell of sherry, and she doesn't look so in a trance. You know, her classes are always lethargic. ”

The staircase moved with the awkward sound of heavy objects being dragged, and Xie An wondered if the entire castle was too undermaintained, some were too old. "Professor Sybil Trelawney is a bit unusual today, but it's not the first time I've seen her like this. ”

"Andy, what are you talking about?" Hermione looked at Shea strangely.

"It's nothing, I just remembered something a few months ago. Professor Sybil Trelawney once gave me a free divination. It's just that I completely forgot about it, and I don't know why, but today I think about it again. Xie An's mind flashed behind the dark cavern, a stout tree, withered and standing under the deep blue night sky.

"What, what's that?" Hermione continued. The staircase finished moving, and the entrance to the spiral staircase appeared in front of Hermione and Shayne.

Xie An walked down the first step first. "A strange dream, I don't quite know what it means. I rarely slept, but that time I had a strange dream. A large tree under the dark night sky occupied my entire field of vision. I don't understand what that means. At that time, I was thinking about the Demon Pattern Formation. I was walking alone in the hallway. Xie Ann walked slowly, recalling the events of a few months ago, and said, "Professor Sybil Trelawney seems to have just had dinner. I was going to the Forbidden Forest that night, and I didn't want the professors to find out that I was going to break the school rules and sneak out of the school, and I hid behind my armor, and when Professor Sybil Trelawney passed by, I saw that kind of tarot card in her hand, and she was talking to herself. She always talked to herself for a moment every time she drew a card. The students had gone to bed, and as she passed me, she suddenly drew a card again. ”

Xie An paused slightly, he was completely caught up in the memories of the day, "That card shows four elements on it, including earth, water, air, and fire four strange symbols, I heard her say to herself that the ash tree that lifts the world is withering, and the void is eroding this ancient tree that has passed countless years. ”

"I used the invisibility spell at the time, and Professor Trelawney couldn't have known that I was hiding behind the armor, but I knew that the ash tree she was talking about was the strange tree I saw in my dream. Although my mind was full of magic patterns and array diagrams at the time, after hearing her talk to herself, I immediately broke away from the matter and clearly saw the illusion in my door. ”

After speaking, Sheaan looked at Hermione. Hermione was standing on the stairs above in a daze, "The ash tree is the tree of the world in ancient mythology, and earth, water, air, and fire make up the whole world in the principle of magic. What the hell do you see?"

"Hermione, I used to think the same as you did. But I flipped through the various records and magical notes in the library. The history of the wizarding world has never said that we are small animals living in a big tree, and our world is not a bird's nest, and the records of ancient demon gods can explain that they did not become the tree of the world?"

Hermione frowned. She walked down the steps with the book in her arms and stood with Xie An, "No, what you said is a bit confusing. Maybe it's just a coincidence. ”

"My invisibility magic is indistinguishable from the average professor. But at the time I can assure you that Professor Sybil Trelawney seemed to sense something. She looks the same as she did in class today. I wonder if she has a dual personality, one is the confused professor, and the other is the elf who can see through fate. ”

"Andrew, do you really believe these things?" Hermione continued downward, the sun had completely set, and the brilliant colors of the stained glass were peeling off and turning into a uniform gray.

Xie An didn't pause, and replied directly: "Of course not." ”

"Why?"

"It doesn't make sense. ”

"Huh?"

"Hermione, have you ever thought that the effort it takes to maintain an ordinary life may be greater than the cost of a life full of accidents. ”

"I don't understand. ”

"If there is fate, in order to ensure that everyone follows the script of fate, the amount of effort required may completely outweigh the value of life itself. ”

Hermione was silent for a moment, and Shayne continued, "Then I forgot about that dream and Professor Sybil Trelawney's words. All of his energy and time was spent on studying the Ancient Demon Pattern Formation. You know what happened later. ”

Hermione nodded. The two of them talked as they walked towards the auditorium. Dinner time is almost up. Many students were already seated and waiting for meal time.

Six schools, including representatives of wizards from almost the entire world, have to take care of the tastes of many wizards, and the workload of the elves doubles. I've heard that Elder Dora sometimes needs to go into battle in person.

Today's dinner was equally sumptuous, with Xie An seeing the ramen on the table at the Suzaku School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the fruit tart and wood cake on the female classmates' seat in Bubbaston. Of course, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's traditional mashed potatoes and butter ginger sauce are also good.

Ravenkla's table was full, and Autumn waved to Shea, Hermione glanced at hermione, said goodbye, and walked towards Gryffindor.

Penelope Crivat, Luna, and Cho sat together, and Shayne sat in the middle between Penelo Crivat and Cho, across from Luna. A candy that had been transformed into the shape of a bunny jumped over the table in front of Shay, who picked up his goblet that had hit the tomato juice and drank a little tomato juice.

"Today's pudding is delicious, would you like to have some?" Qiu brought a plate to her boyfriend, and by the way, she served some vegetable salad and a pork chop.

"Let's eat the salad after dessert, don't you have to participate in tonight's competition?" Xie An asked.

"It's a game between Hufflepuff and Slytherin, nothing happens to us. Penelope said.

"Yes, we can go to the game together today, can't we?" asked Autumn expectantly.

"Of course. I don't think I have anything to do today. "Since his magic power was in trouble, Xie An could no longer venture to continue practicing the terrifying magic of destruction except for meditating at night to improve his ordinary magic. It's very pleasant to stay with Autumn every day these days.

"Andrew, I don't want to destroy your two-person world, but I still have to tell you that Elder Dora needs to see you tonight. Penelo Crivat said.

Thank you for a moment, "Did something happen?"

"I don't know, the elder just asked me to tell you that she has something to see you. ”

Qiu Zhang, of course Luna has nothing to hide, Xie An pondered for a while, and couldn't remember anything for a while, so he had to say to Qiu: "It seems that I can't accompany you tonight." Elder Dora's matter must be very important, and I need to meet her. ”

Autumn nodded in disappointment.

Along the corridors of the castle until there was a corridor with no exit, Xie An waited and then used his wand to light the wall. A wooden door soon appeared on the wall, and Xie An pushed the door into the real interior of the castle, the shadow castle of the elves that supported the normal operation of the entire castle.

After Xie An walked a few turns, he saw Elder Dora staying in a small office. Elder Dora's son, the Minister of Logistics, is magically transporting ingredients with a few elves, and the demand for fresh ingredients has almost doubled. After seeing Xie An, the logistics minister greeted him politely.

Pushing open the wooden door of the somewhat low office, Elder Dora was sitting at her desk, working on some papers, and she looked up, "Wait a minute, I need to figure out these accounts." Xie An waved his hand absently, made it to the sofa, took out a Muggle book from Mok's bag, and began to read.

It took half an hour for Elder Dora to finish the matter.

"Andrew, have you heard of an organization called 'Don' lately?" asked Elder Dora.

"Well, this organization seems to be fighting Voldemort's Death Eaters, and it seems to be gaining the upper hand all this time. Xie An said

"It seems that you are also very well-informed. But it's not accurate enough. I have already checked it, and this Don organization has actually existed for almost a thousand years. It is extremely powerful, I have seen this organization in the Elven Heritage, and they are usually only active in the Far East. Elder Dora seemed to recall something serious, and she continued: "The founder of this organization is said to be a native of the Far East, and it is so mysterious that some people even suspect that this person is a person from thousands of years ago. It's a pity that this organization is mainly active in the Far East, and rarely participates in the affairs of European countries, and we elves know very little about them. ”

"It's a bit strange that an organization that operates mainly in the Far East is now invading wizarding Britain. Did the elves find anything?" Xie An asked.

"Yes, Andrew, that's why I'm here today. Elder Dora spun out from behind her desk and sat down on the couch she liked to sit on, "Lucius Malfoy, they've been rescued, and the elite Death Eaters are back in the Order. After examination, they were not robbed of their souls. It seems that they were simply taken prisoner, and after some time in captivity, they were released. ”

"You mean, the Death Eaters may have compromised with Don?"

"If a simple compromise isn't serious, fear that the Death Eaters will collude with this organization. I've investigated, and I don't know all the current forces of the Tang Organization, but whether it is from the elves' inheritance memories or other records, it shows that the mysterious organization in the Far East is extremely powerful. If they join forces with the Dark Lord, I'm afraid the Ministry of Magic won't last long. Elder Dora said.

"In other words, in addition to the wizarding army in Europe, we have one more fierce enemy, if Tang really compromises with the Death Eaters, the combined strength of the two will even surpass us?"

"I don't want to admit it, but that's exactly what happened. I need you to mobilize the power of the Li family as soon as possible to determine if some kind of deal has been reached between Tang and the Death Eaters. ”

Xie An thought for a while and said, "So how much do elves know about Tang's organization?"

"Andrew, very little, very little! Don has only recently appeared in Wizarding Britain. On the night Voldemort was eliminated, Don attacked the Death Eater elite, causing a lot of losses to the Death Eater forces. As we learned afterwards, firstly, Don had attacked the Death Eaters, and secondly, that the number of Dons was much greater than the number of Death Eaters. By prohibiting the apparitions and the portkey, Tang succeeded in capturing the Death Eaters. ”

"In other words, in Wizarding Britain, at this moment, there are still many members of the Tang Organization lurking, ready to attack at any time?"

"I'm afraid so," Elder Dora said worriedly.

You must know that whether it is Xie An or Elder Dora, the ultimate goal is to master Wizarding Britain, Elder Dora needs the reform of the Ministry of Magic for the complete liberation of elves in Britain, and Xie An needs to prevent the collapse of the wizarding world through the influence of Wizarding Britain. Neither of them wanted to see Wizarding Britain join any larger forces, or be controlled by a higher hierarchy, and both of them were deeply wary of the 'Tang' organization that suddenly appeared.
