Chapter 19: The Disciples

What is talent? What is genius? Is there really anything in this world that can be considered perfect?

Gellert Grindelwald, Albus Dumbledore, Tom Riddle, Nick Lemay, Don, Queen Anne... Each of these incomparably powerful wizards is called a genius, are they perfect?

From the very beginning of his birth, Xie An already had many memories, including his doomsday warrior instincts, advanced knowledge, and terrifying visions of hell. As a baby, he was already learning magic and trying to fit into the world. So is he a genius in battle? It would be naΓ―ve to think so.

Because Heavenly Dao has no mercy at all, the so-called "natural genius" is just a random fate. The wizards at the top of the pyramid are nothing more than poor dolls of fate, with no choice but to move forward alone.

Xie An is well aware of the destruction of the world. Whether it's the Astral Monarch or the Doomsday Weapon, these are not the real reasons for humanity's destruction.

At the beginning of the end of the Dharma era, the first thing that disappeared was the Book of Creation, the Book of Rowling. This book will be considered a forgery, and all the records on it about the rules of the world will be considered shackles from nothingness. Wizards aspire to break through any boundaries and become so-called completely free beings. The radical wizards insisted that we were truly free only when we didn't have to discuss what freedom was.

What they are looking for is the so-called absolute freedom, and as long as they can think of it, they must be able to do it. This fantasy is nothing more than a variant of endless desire. But they insisted that they were reformers, pioneers.

The Precursors didn't need the Book of Genesis, the reformers didn't need the Book of Rowling, and the free soul could always want to do what it wanted, because that was the right that freedom gave to the suitor.

With the advent of the end of the law, monsters that were born to know began to appear on a large scale. These monsters are all emerging species of life born from the combination of powerful abilities and life containers. They have perfect bodies, near-immortal beings, unrivaled abilities, and terrifying consciousness. These new beings born from the combination of mechanical life are the so-called geniuses of the end of the Dharma era.

But what is the difference between this and those geniuses of ancient times? Maybe they are faster in dealing with problems, more capable of solving problems, and more far-sighted in their grasp of future strategies. This so-called genius is still just piling up the improvement of ability.

With the development of human technology, it takes several years for geniuses to fully understand the theory, which is only a small program for mechanical life. What countless wizards of ancient times struggled to solve, can now be handled with a simple spell. The world itself is expanding at a high speed, and no matter how we see ourselves and the people around us, they don't increase, they don't decrease, they are always there.

Relying on the gravitational pull of the planet, before human beings can leave the planet, the circulation of matter is the so-called Six Realms Technique. Wizards noticed that when the body of the dead decayed, it would follow the wind or water to the end of the world. As a result, legends about the World Tree, the Abyss, and Heaven under Hell began to be recognized.

And those things that cannot be explained will naturally become so-called miracles. In fact, the era of the demon god has ended several calamities, and the so-called gods today are just the afterglow of the heroic age.

Nowadays, the wizarding world is like a small boat walking in stormy waves, and if you are not careful, it will capsize. Whether it is Xie An, who has experienced the apocalypse, or the wizarding elite who is extremely worried about the future of the world like Albus Dundendore, they have already understood at this time that if these problems cannot be solved, then no matter what kind of genius they are, they will be wiped out in the catastrophe.

With a common enemy, there is an opportunity for cooperation. Albus Dumbledore's doubts and vigilance also slowly disappeared with Xie An's various performances. Now it seems that Albus has begun to have some expectations for Xie An.

Although Umbridge wants to win over Xie An and make him her pawn, it is a pity that Umbridge is too weak, and she is still a pawn, and she still doesn't know it.

Xie An and His Excellency the Vice Minister chatted more pleasantly, although there was some rustiness between the two at first, but after the Vice Minister heard about Xie An's feat, his attitude was much better. The conversation between the two lasted more than half an hour.

"Oh, Your Excellency Vice Minister, I don't think it's early, you still have work to do, why don't we talk about it next time." Xie looked worried, and looked at the small clock on Umbridge's desk, on which was squatting a silver cat, which was asleep.

"Andrew, it's too rusty for you to call me that, since I and your father are colleagues, you can call me aunt in the future. Umbridge smiled kindly, "But it's a little late today, and I'm going to do an assessment in the divination class in the afternoon." We'll talk again when we have time. ”

Obviously seeing that Umbridge's smile was fake, Xie An didn't look uncomfortable, nodded lightly, and left politely.

"Well, this kid is just as cunning as his father. The people of the Far East, like the so-called Jews, are so cunning. But if he really has that ability, I don't mind...."Umbridge watched Xie An leave, and the fake smile on his face immediately disappeared, turning into a cold look of hatred.

Before Count Lee appeared, Umbridge had been Minister Fudge's biggest confidant, and now with Count Lee becoming one of the minister's core staff, Umbridge was already a little uneasy in his heart, and it seemed that his position as deputy minister was a little shaken.

Xie An didn't care about Umbridge's abacus, as I said before, her strength was too weak, not even a chess player, but only a useful pawn for the minister.

After leaving the deputy minister's office, Xie An did not stop, he needed to go to Queen Anne, and the queen sent him a message to make a trip to Hogsmeade.

There were a lot of people in the hallways today, both from the Out-of-School and at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, talking about one thing: the Champions of the Tournament were about to return.

During this time, there were two things that the students were most concerned about in the castle: one was that Umbridge was the commissioner, evaluating the teaching of the so-called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The other is the tournament, and it is reported that the warriors who went to the East China Sea to participate in the second stage of the competition have been injured or injured, and at this time the mentors have all gone to help.

Xie An didn't pay much attention to these things, but he heard some words, it seemed that two warriors were missing, and the remaining warriors failed to complete the task. The reason seems to be that something happened in the East China Sea, and Fuso is also involved.

"Hey, Andy, I'm looking for you!" Luna called out not far away.

Xie An climbed over the guardrail of the corridor and passed over the other side, "Luna, why are you here?" ”

"Umbridge forbids us to go out without permission these days, I haven't been to the clothing store in days, I wonder if you can take me out. Luna said.

"Is there such a thing?" Xie Ann usually leaves Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at night from the secret passages, so he doesn't know much about this.

"Yes, now that the school has to be checked when it goes out, Umbridge has selected some students who are willing to cooperate with her, called the Wizard of Discipline, to check the list and prohibit the wizards who are not on the list from going out. Luna explained.

The two of them walked as they talked, and they had reached the gate of the castle. The weather was good, and there seemed to be a lot of students preparing to leave the castle, and there seemed to be someone blocking the front, and the students were lining up, waiting to get out.

"Hey, I said can you hurry up, I have important things to do in the afternoon!" shouted a sixth-year wizard in a neat wizard's robe and carrying a suitcase.

"What's the hurry, this is the execution of the order of the deputy minister, anyone must be on the list, before they can get out. Even sixth-graders can't be special. "Blaise of Slytherin has a regular list and is looking for a name.

"Hey, my name is on the top, haven't you seen it yet? I applied early yesterday morning, and I wasted ten minutes of my time, I'm going to be late...", a student who was being reviewed, pointed to a name on the list and complained.

"I've found it a long time ago, what are you pointing at. I'm looking to see if there's anything special going on. Brace said toughly.

"You guys did it on purpose, I don't care about anything else, my afternoon is very important, I must go out now!" the sixth-grader left the group and forced his way through.

"Give me all the silence!" a loud female voice rang out, shaking all the wizards, and everyone looked to the source of the sound, none other than the Gryffindor student female president: Talley.

Tale is about to graduate, and she is extremely powerful, and she is not under Cedric Diggory. And Tale is a freshman year older than Cedric Diggory. Speaking of which, before Potter, Tale was the leader of Gryffindor.

"Lord, you are here, if you don't come, these people will attack me. Brace said hurriedly.

The sixth-grader glanced at Talai and didn't break in, and he didn't go back.

"Where's your name?" Tale took the list from Brace's hand and motioned for the student to point it out to her. It didn't take long to find the target. Talai checked again and let the wizard go.

Brace looked a little embarrassed. "These are extraordinary times, and I think you should all understand that leaving Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry without permission is not allowed. Come one by one in order. Tale explained a little, and then motioned for Brace to continue.

When the students saw Talai appear, they didn't dare to break in again, but there were still a few who were more anxious, and after Talai checked the list, he let them all go.

Seeing Tale coming, Xie An motioned for Luna to follow him, and he walked directly to Talai. After the previous wizards were released, it was Xie An's turn. Tale seemed to have been busy looking at the list, "Name, when did you apply?" Tale asked.

Xie An didn't answer, and Talai looked up suspiciously, seeing a familiar Asian face. Slightly surprised: "Oh, isn't this Andrew Lee, do you want to get out of the castle?"

Xie An nodded slightly, he still stared into Talai's eyes. Tale looked at him and Luna with interest and said, "What, are you going out on a date?

Xie An had never fought against Tale, and he didn't know too much about her strength. Coincidentally, he happened to get a piece of information in the last few days, which seemed to be related to Talai's family.

Hearing Talai's words, Luna's face turned slightly red, but Xie An took a step forward and was almost face-to-face with Talai, "I have news for you, you come here with your ears." ”

Talai was a little overwhelmed by Xie An's sudden intimate movements. Although she didn't seem to care about Xie An on the surface, in fact, as she paid attention to Xie An, she felt more and more that this boy was very mysterious.

Hearing Xie An's words, Talai hesitated for a second, then leaned forward slightly, the two figures were staggered, and Xie An whispered the news about Talai's family to her. Talai's face changed slightly, and he glanced at Xie An deeply, "You guys go over." ”

Brace kept an eye on this, and saw that Xie An didn't know what to say to Tale, and Tale actually let the two of them pass like this. Speaking of which, Talai, a Gryffindor, can command Slytherin's students, in addition to her usual strong strength, because of the arrangement of the deputy minister.

You know, the four major houses have their own leaders: Slytherin is led by Draco Malfoy at this time, Hufflepuff is Cedric Diggory, Ravenclaw is ostensibly Penelope Crivat, and Gryffindor was Tale before.

If it weren't for Umbridge's arrangement, hoping to keep them in check with each other through the conflicts between the different houses, Tale wouldn't have been able to manage Slytherin.

While Brace was hesitant to go to Umbridge to snitch, Shay and Luna had already left.

As mentioned before, Hogsmeade had quite a few Aurors at this time. Some time ago, Gringotts was attacked on a large scale by unknown wizards, and almost all the forces of the Auror Office went to support Gringotts, and later Rufus Scrimgeour commanded many Aurors to take a two-sided approach to repel those mysterious wizards.

The Ministry of Magic is currently investigating this matter, and in addition to that, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was breached, the black-robed wizards took direct control of the Quidditch pitch, and all the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry fell into a deep sleep due to the water of life and death.

If it weren't for the black-robed wizards who didn't kill on a large scale, Minister Fudge's throne might not have been kept now. Realizing that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry needed better protection, Minister Fudge sent additional Aurors here.
