"By the way, what is this test for?" it occurred to Ryan that he had not come to investigate the saints. Rather, it was to find out why the shopkeeper suddenly attacked him and said that it was a test, and what was this test for?

Because just now, when Principal Fernando was helping the shopkeeper to treat, Ryan picked up the wooden thorn, and through his knowledge of herbology, he could easily distinguish that it was a common sleeping pill, not an imaginary poison. So he felt that the owner's words might be true.

"The owner is my godfather. Principal Fernando said: "Originally, I wanted him to trick you into a raid in the backyard under some other pretext to see your level, but it turned out that you accidentally saw the saint emblem, and finally got to this point because of a misunderstanding." In fact, the reason why we have to test you like this is because there is a certain danger in what we want to ask you about next, and we will not let you participate if your level is not enough. ”

"You two are powerful wizards, what can make it impossible for both of you to do it and still need the help of me, a student?" Ryan asked with some curiosity.

Hearing Ryan's question, the shopkeeper coughed twice and said, "I just introduced you to the history of the saints, just to tell you that most of us saints are fighting for a great dream. Although the beginning of the process of realizing this dream was wrong, not all saints were motivated by this purpose. Especially in the middle and late stages of the war, because we didn't have enough manpower, we recruited people who drank a lot and didn't know the details. Some of them take advantage of the name of the saints and the chaos to achieve their evil goals. And this is what the Chimera Society we are going to deal with this time looks like. ”

"Chimera, what is that?" Ryan asked curiously, as he had never heard of this before.

"It's a very old society, dating back to ancient Greek times. Principal Fernando said on the side, "They have always dreamed of creating powerful magical creatures through magic, so they wantonly use all kinds of evil methods to transform magical creatures, and legend has it that the Chimera was created by them." This is also the origin of the name of their society. ”

"During the war that Grindelwald started, many members of the Chimera Society used false identities to infiltrate saints such as. After that, he did a lot of bad things in the name of the saints, such as several important Muggle massacres. ”

"Know that Grindelwald believed that wizards should lead Muggles, but opposed the wanton killing of Muggles. So when my godfather and his father discovered that a group of Chimera wizards were hiding in South America, they mobilized the former saints in South America to purge these people who had ruined the reputation of the saints. ”

"But I didn't do it. The shopkeeper said in a regretful tone, "They have merged with the local dark wizards of the blood sacrifice, and with the cover of the local natives, it is difficult for even the local wizards to catch each other's tails, let alone us outsiders." It wasn't until recently that things took a turn for the better. ”

"Maybe it's because they've been dormant for a long time and think they're doing well. We have learned that they are planning to launch an attack on the occasion of the exchange of British exchange students, in the hope of making enough of an impact on the entire wizarding world. ”

"Why are they doing this? Isn't this evil organization supposed to hide itself?What is it about jumping to the front of the stage?" Ryan asked, puzzled.

"Well, I'll explain it to you. "Like the Death Eaters of your European heyday, the evil organization has to show its strength when it reaches a certain point. In this way, we can get rid of the shackles and develop further. After all, it is not enough for an organization to develop by tapping potential from within, but also by absorbing fresh blood from the outside. If the people out there simply don't know how you can come and join you. ”

"Does the Brazilian Ministry of Magic care about this kind of thing? As far as I know, we are here to communicate, and both ministries of magic have done a lot of work. ”

"We've warned the Ministry of Magic, but because I don't have any real evidence, the bureaucrats at the Ministry of Magic think we're just nervous. The only support we have from the Ministry of Magic right now is their promise that an Auror team will patrol the vicinity of the school from time to time. ”

"Well, the Ministry of Magic is unreliable anywhere, and it looks like I'm going to have to find a way to save myself now. So what do you need me to do?" Ryan asked.

"We at Castro Brus have a special course to go into the wild to observe magical creatures in the wild, and you as official exchange students will definitely arrange this kind of course. Naturally, the location of this course will be out of the protection of the school, even if the destination is also a place arranged by the school in advance, theoretically there is a certain amount of defense, but it is certainly far less than the defense of the school itself, and this is the only chance for those attackers. ”

"So we want you to help you monitor the status of your students from the UK, and if you notice anything wrong, you can let us know immediately. After saying that, the headmaster took out a green leaf like glass and handed it to Ryan, who took it in his hand and realized that it was a beautiful brooch.

"Brooch, what's the use of that?" Ryan asked curiously, because in his perception it was just a simple leaf, and there were no magic runes drawn on it, which didn't look like a magic prop at all.

"This comes from a bell tree planted in the principal's office, whose leaves are paired in pairs on the branches, and the pairs of leaves have a mysterious connection between them, and by activating one leaf, the other leaf can resonate with the leaf. This means that when you activate that brooch with your magic, all the sounds around you can be resonated by another leaf. This tree is known only to the previous headmasters and a very small number of people, and you can use it to communicate with us if the other party has somehow cut off your external communications. ”

"I see. Ryan took the brooch and pinned it to his chest, "Thank you for your trust in me, after all, I am the person involved in this matter you told me, in this case, it is definitely better for me to be prepared in advance than to be unprepared for emergencies." ”

"That said, we still have to thank you. The shopkeeper then said, "After all, the other party is also good at magical creatures, and you are taking a risk with this brooch." So I promise you that after this operation is over, I will give you some of the things I learned when I was a saint before, regardless of the outcome. ”

After discussing some details, things were almost arranged. Then the innkeeper said, "Ah, by the way, your companion is still waiting for you, and I think you should go to the front now." If there's anything important in the future, I'll ask your headmaster to let you know. ”
