As a historian of magic, Bassat has come across the word Deathly Hallows more than once during his research career.

As a young woman, when she was writing the manuscript of the book History of Magic, she wrote on the title page:

The History of Magic Classic Mansion has been completed, and all that's left is some touch-ups.

In the distance of the clear sky, there were two seemingly insignificant dark clouds.

The first dark cloud is a prehistoric mystery; The second is the Grim Reaper and his deathly hows.

After much thought, she was afraid of causing the wizard to chase her, so she deleted this passage when it was published.

Therefore, tonight may guide the two young wizards to find the Holy Grail, and she has mixed feelings.

On the one hand, Bassat does not want anyone to find the Deathly Hallows.

Most people can only see the holy objects, but ignore the word death. But countless histories have proved that the gift of death is incomparably bloody.

The Grim Reaper is also deliberately luring wizards into pursuit.

But because of this, she desperately hopes that someone can study the Grim Reaper thoroughly and end the story of the three brothers.

Bassat knew that he was dying, that he would not live for a few years, and that his memory was getting worse and worse.

But tonight isn't the time!

At this moment, her heart is beating strongly and fast...... Her mind is sharp.

There are still duties to be done!

Whether it's saving the city that is about to be flooded, or helping the young wizards in front of them...... Find the Holy Grail.

Coincidentally, when she was first approached for Deathly Hallows, it was also two young men.

She had great expectations for those two, but what happened after that made her regret it!

The pair of talented wizards, from acquaintance to breakup, only took one summer.

Fifty years later, they had to lift their wands and kill each other!

It can be said that the fifty-year history of the wizarding world has been changed beyond recognition because of that noisy summer.

History is like this, an accident may lead to a different ending.

Bassat thought that there was no hope of solving the Deathly Hallows in this life.

Unexpectedly, in a hurry for a hundred years, the gears of fate kept spinning, and two young people were selected and sent to her.

They were even armed with two Deathly Hallows, and their relationship was even stronger than that of the pair of wizards back then.

Is this fate?

Bassat pondered for a long time, and finally said softly in a hoarse voice:

"O man who bears the crown of wisdom [in the House of Literature],

Follow in the footsteps of the Doge of Venice. ”

"He lied,

Cut off the horse's head,

Take away the bones of the blind ......"

"Kid, it's obvious that I'm referring to you at the beginning." The old man said, turning his head in the direction of William and Hermione's breathing.

"As for the Governor...... From the emergence of the first governor in 687 to the destruction of the Republic of Venice by Napoleon in 1797.

In the past thousand years, there have been 120 governors, who do you think you mean? ”

Hermione habitually raised her hand, and she realized that this was not a class, and put it down as if nothing had happened.

But William noticed it, glancing at him with a smile, and she glared at him and stuck out her tongue playfully.

Hermione ignored William no more, straightened her thoughts a little, and spoke:

"At first, I thought that the Doge of Venice in the guidance of death was the one who had defrauded St. Mark's body."

A thousand years ago, with the rise and independence of Venice, they began to want to improve the city's obscenity.

Originally, the patron saint of the city was called St. Theodore. But this saint from Greece has a low status in the saint hierarchy, and is only a third-rate person.

How can this be done?

Look at Florence next door, where the patron saint is St. John the Baptist; In Rome, it was St. Peter.

The hearts of the Venetians were suddenly unbalanced, why are your saints of higher status than ours?

As a result, the second Inspector Martini set his sights on the corpse of St. Mark.

St. Mark was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and held a high position.

By order of the governor, two merchants defrauded the remains of St. Mark from Alexandria and sent them back to Venice.

This is one of the most famous deceitful governors in history.

Hermione originally thought that the governor was this one. She shook her head lightly and said:

"But Nicol said that the Holy Grail was traded to Constantinople during the Crusades."

"The Crusades are too old in Justinian's history to exclude the governor."

She coughed and said:

"The Holy Grail was traded to Constantinople, but soon after, it was exiled to Venice...... Well, there's only one possibility......"

Hermione paused, then said confidently:

"It was plundered by Venice during the Fourth Crusade!"

William looked at Hermione appreciatively.

The girl showed not only a strong memory, but also a wide range of knowledge and a strong ability to analyze problems.

In terms of memory, William really hasn't met a few wizards who can compare to Hermione.

Not to mention dabbling, when William first met her, he was only eleven years old, and he was holding a thick Encyclopedia Britannica!

"But I can't remember the name of the governor." Hermione frowned slightly, seemingly unhappy with her memory.

Obviously she saw something four or five years ago, but she can only vaguely remember!

It's unforgivable!

Hermione is good at everything, that's not good. She is like a top student in the class, every time the curls come down, people cry...... She cried too.

Others are one point short of passing, she is one point short of a perfect score, but crying is even more sad, resulting in students who fail to comfort her.

Fortunately, Hermione is not a boy, otherwise she would definitely be beaten.

"William, do you remember the name?" Hermione, not knowing what the boy was thinking, asked.

William nodded, and said without thinking, "That Venetian governor is called...... Enrico Dandolo. ”

In fact, when Nicol brought up the Crusades, he immediately remembered Dandolo.

As an avid P Club player and a Rogue, how could William have forgotten the famous Governor?

What do you mean by that?

One, three, five, weeping, two, four, six angry, hanged the Doge of Venice on Sunday!

The Doge of Venice to be hanged was Dandolo.

Who were the wicked in the Fourth Crusade? Basically, everyone has a fairly unanimous understanding, and that is the Republic of Venice.

The target of the Fourth Crusade was originally to come to Egypt.

Pope Innocent III launched the campaign, which was originally planned to be led by Theopold III, Count of Champagne in the Kingdom of France.

They attacked the Egypt of the Musling Ayyubid dynasty and used it as a base to relieve Jerusalem, which was controlled by the Muslin.

After a series of incidents, the governor deceived everyone and led his army elsewhere to conquer Constantinople.

And, sacked the ancient capital.

"Yes, it's the Governor." Bassat sighed: "There are too many items that have been snatched by the Crusaders. ”

"Cut off the horse's head...... The horse in this sentence is not talking about a real horse, but a horse that is considered the treasure of St. Mark. ”

"Dandolo sawed off the horse's head in order to transport it back to Venice and then decorated it with a collar to cover up the traces."

"He had lied and cut off the horse's head......" Hermione was a little excited. If all of these are met, what about the bones of the blind man? ”

Bassat suddenly asked, "How did you get to Venice?" ”

"By train." Hermione didn't know why the old man was asking about it.

"At which train station did you get off?" She asked again.

"Santa Rukia Station."

"That'...... Do you know the story of Santa Rucia? ”

William and Hermione both shook their heads.

In his previous life, William had heard the Italian Neapolitan boat song "Santa Lucia".

"Santa Lucia is one of the four martyred virgins of Christ." Bassat explained.

"She is incomparably beautiful herself, and her eyes are magical, and every man longs for her. In order to ensure her purity, Rukia gouged out her own eyes. ”

"Blind ......," Hermione exclaimed.

"That's right." Basha nodded. "When Governor Dandolo plundered Constantinople, he was over eighty years old.

His purpose was not only for money, but also for Rukia's remains.

Rukia's bones have the same effect as the Philosopher's Stone, which can prolong life. ”

William breathed a sigh of relief.

"The flood will flood the sky and the Holy Grail will burn at the bottom of the tomb."

So, everything is clear.

The Holy Grail is either in Dandolo's tomb or Rukia's.
