Chapter 20: The Imminent Destruction of St. Mark's Square
St. Mark's Bell Tower.
It was arguably the place that changed Martell's life.
He was seventeen years old, and she was seventeen.
Two young wizards who have just entered the Ministry of Magic have come to play here.
The clock tower collapsed without warning.
Muggle reports say that only one cat died, which is a miracle;
The wizard's newspaper reported that a young wizard named Martell, who had saved countless Muggles, was to be awarded the Doge's Medal.
But it's not just a cat that dies, it's not just a person who deserves a medal.
And that seventeen-year-old ...... Witch.
The man who was supposed to survive chose to save him, and then he was ...... Burned.
Time flies, a hundred years later, Martell finds that he can't even remember what the witch looks like.
I just vaguely remember that she had a nice smile and a name - Ellalia Shad.
Therefore, every little wizard he adopted had the surname of Shad.
Martell spent half a century investigating the events of that year.
He infiltrated under the bell tower of San Marco and found a hidden fissure, beneath which was a lagoon.
He dived into the depths of the lagoon and searched for seven or eight years before he found the sleeping monster.
That dragon is really big, and it's completely different from the dragon in the reserve today.
However, it wasn't the guy who could breathe dragon's breath, but another water dragon.
As a high-ranking member of the Italian Ministry of Magic, Martell naturally had access to top-secret archives that ordinary wizards couldn't reach.
In the pile of old papers, he found a few words about the Goblet of Fire.
Seven hundred years ago, the Dark Wizard studied the Goblet of Fire in Sardinia.
The result is a monster that breaks free from the magic of the Goblet of Fire and submerges Sardinia.
Flooding a large island is simply not something that ordinary dragons can do. Even if it is as strong as a Hungarian tree bee, it is impossible to burn down an island.
This dragon is not something that dozens of wizards can deal with.
But the Goblet of Fire's powerful contract can trap it.
All Maltai needs to do is slowly awaken the dragon...... Flood Venice and stop it with the Goblet of Fire.
But what I didn't expect was that the Goblet of Fire was lost.
He didn't expect that Tryne, who had stolen the Goblet of Fire, would find this place and hide it underneath.
Although Martell did not know the exact hiding place, he was confident.
It is very fitting, in the place where the dragon is awakened, the Goblet of Fire is hidden, and then the entire Piazza San Marco is destroyed.
It's a perfect fit, and it doesn't get much better than here.
Martell is not a person who likes a sense of ritual, and at this moment, he is inexplicably excited.
He knew that Tremier wouldn't stop there, and might even want to kill him. But Trynnee clearly underestimated his means.
I've taught you everything, but what I'll do, you don't know, he thought to himself.
Martell knew that Treenne wanted to save Stark and Granger, but under his guidance, Russell should have killed them both.
For Malte, the ending may seem sudden, but it was predestined long ago.
A hundred years ago, he survived, and he accidentally caught a glimpse of the secret.
After years of careful planning, patience, waiting and searching...... That time has now come.
He felt so excited that he couldn't hold himself what Grindelwald, what Voldemort...... Wait for him to get the Goblet of Fire and restrain the water dragon...... He can do whatever he wants.
……
……
Heavy rain fluttering,
St. Mark's Square is still crowded with tourists.
In the mist, a touch of jet black pierced the fog and appeared in everyone's field of vision.
A handsome young man standing on the bow of a gondola with a wand in his hand.
In the cabin behind him, there sat a young girl, with thick and fluffy curly hair, hanging down on her shoulders.
She was driving the boat, and she was almost to the shore, but she had no intention of slowing down.
It seems that the brake button has been buckled!
This girl's driving skills are also skillful and spicy.
said that he was skilled, such a drag racing, and miraculously did not have a car accident; It is said that it is spicy, all kinds of stoppers and overships, and they have the momentum of an aircraft carrier.
Fortunately, it was not an aircraft carrier, otherwise everyone would have thought that the ship had been hijacked by terrorists and rushed to crash into St. Mark's Basilica.
Seeing such a sturdy girl, everyone couldn't help but sweat for the young man at the bow of the boat.
Child, if you are kidnapped by her, blink!
We're sure...... I can't save you, but I can call the police.
With the speed of the Italian police, your body will be found in a week at most.
If she knew what everyone was thinking, Hermione would definitely call Tianqu.
She is obviously a gentle, kind, and school-abiding student, but she was forced to be what she is now by the sinister society.
It is even said that since he met William, he has not been born in peace in the past few years.
The first time they met, the cauldron blew up, and they went to Gringotts, where they ran into the fire dragon and Voldemort......
However, Hermione found that she didn't seem to hate this adventure to save the world.
It has nothing to do with whether she's a Gryffindor or not.
Because, Hermione doesn't like to take risks, she likes to take risks with someone.
Modifiers are important, and without him, there is no point in taking risks.
So Hermione insisted that William was the one who was in the wrong house!
It should be in the same hospital with her.
William didn't think so, for his attention was on the boat at his feet.
The gondola did not slow down, and rushed directly from the river, along a curved slide, like an arrow, into Piazza San Marco.
It was an oblique toss, and William could even mentally calculate the highest point and the landing position.
But if he doesn't care anymore, the ground will also give him the energy of an inelastic collision and let him go underground to calculate.
William's wand was aimed at the boat, and the gondola snapped, paused in mid-air for a few seconds, and then continued to rush.
With the protection of magic, the boat swept forward, all the way for more than ten meters before stopping.
But William and Hermione were unscathed.
"Look for death." Many people said angrily.
"The boat is driven in the water, not on the shore! You're in bad brains?! ”
Several security guards rushed over.
The two looked like underage drivers and definitely didn't have driver's licenses. Even the boat may be stolen.
Too arrogant!
"The flood is going to flood St. Mark's Basilica, so run quickly." William shouted.
But no one paid any attention to him.
Hey, why do you say again?
The old tour guide is still there, still wearing the clothes of the imam, and he is trying to introduce the history of the square building.
His memory had been altered, so he didn't remember William and Hermione.
The old imam said disdainfully: "If there is really a great flood, Allah will definitely lower Noah's ark, with devout believers like me, everyone need not be afraid!" ”
William did not know whether Allah would descend on Noah's ark, but Christ Jesus certainly wanted to kill him with a bolt of lightning.
You damn infidel!
William didn't care about the attention of the tourists around him, and put the gondola in the safety sheet.
It's all about to be ruined, and who cares if it's a violation of the law of secrecy.
William looked at St. Mark's Bell Tower.
In Merlin's story: King Vortigan wants to build a tower, but no matter how hard the soldiers work during the day, the tower will suddenly collapse overnight.
Merlin explained that the tower was built on a piece of groundwater. He also predicted that if the groundwater was drained, two sleeping dragons would be seen in the hollow two boulders.
In that year, the bell tower of San Marco collapsed without warning. So that dragon is under St. Mark's Square!
Martell is a witness!
Moreover, most of the Doges of Venice are in the Basilica of St. Mark's and the Doge's Palace.
The remains of Doge Dandolo, if they had been sent to Venice, would have been buried here.
The Holy Grail burns at the bottom of the tomb......
The Holy Grail burns beneath St. Mark's Square and the dragon sleeps underneath.
Death told him about it clearly.
"How are we going to go down?" Hermione asked. "There should be a road under the bell tower of San Marco."
"But we don't know where it is, we don't have time to look for it, and Martell probably has set up magic there too." William shook his head.
"Death has shown us other paths."
He whispered, "In the depths of the phoenix's rebirth, the lagoon will not reflect the stars.
The entrance is in the ...... Phoenix Opera House! ”
William originally thought that this sentence was about a phoenix appearing, and it was most likely Fox.
But in the end, it became clear that the Grim Reaper was talking about a place - the Teatro La Fenice in Piazza San Marco in Venice!
The Phoenix Opera House, also known as the Immortal Bird Theater, was born in 1792.
It got its name from the phoenix, and coincidentally, its ill-fated fate also happened to confirm the legend of "phoenix rebirth".
In its more than 200 years of history, it has been destroyed by fire three times and rebuilt or renovated three times.
William knew that the last time it would be devastating, just two years later.
Now, though, it's likely to happen sooner rather than later. Even the entire Piazza San Marco would have been destroyed.
After destroying Notre Dame Cathedral, William is going to attack it again...... He's really a little inexplicable......
Little excitement!
