Chapter 14: Merlin's Prophecy
Before you know it, the sky is completely dark.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, like a bear child who can't stop crying.
The water level continued to rise, and it was almost flooded into the garden. But the problem is that the house of Bathata is very high, almost two meters above sea level.
Looking at the rain, it will rain for another two or three days, and the Venetians will be able to see the sea from the rooftop.
He remembered the words of the Grim Reaper again:
Floods will flood the sky.
Such a heavy rain, it can't be a so-called flood, right?
Bassat also seemed to feel that the sky was dark, she tucked away her thick clothes and asked, "You two haven't eaten yet, have you?" β
"Nope." William shook his head, "We came to Venice in the morning and have been hunted down ever since. β
"Hmm." The old man slowly stood up, hunched his back, and smiled kindly: "Then you must be hungry, let's go eat first, and after we are full, we will continue to talk." β
Hermione nodded, and obediently took the old man's arm.
William held up an umbrella and placed it on top of Hermione and the old man. The three of them walked slowly towards the house through the garden.
"The residence provided by the Italian Ministry of Magic must also be guarded by the Aurors, so you can sleep here tonight." Bassat said softly.
"Won't it give you trouble?" William hesitated.
"The Italian Aurors don't know what magic is used, and they always seem to be able to determine our location." Hermione wondered.
"It's fine." The old man didn't care.
"There is a lot of protective magic around the house. When the Aurors arrive, the alarm will be triggered.
When the time comes, you just have to run, what can they do with me as an old witch? β
"People are good at this when they get old, and they may die at some point, and they are afraid that I will die suddenly in Venice."
Bassat laughed, and couldn't stop coughing. Hermione hurriedly patted the old man on the back to soothe her.
It's really not a joke.
William and Hermione didn't laugh.
Upon entering the living room, William found Trynnee asleep on the table. Her mouth was dripping, and her sleeves were soaked.
William felt guilty.
This matter has nothing to do with her at all, but because they were involved.
Hearing the footsteps, Tremier suddenly opened her eyes and hurriedly shouted, "William, Hermione, run!" The Aurors are coming!! β
ββ¦β¦β
Her nervous look was like seeing the vendors in the city management:
Run, the chengguan came to fish and enforce the law again, and tricked us into setting up a stall!
Tranee saw that it was William and Hermione, so she relieved herself, wiped her saliva without any image, and stretched.
The tight-fitting leather coat outlines an amazing arc, like a persimmon in autumn, heavy.
"Do you want to go?" She asked.
"No, we'll stay here tonight." William said.
Trenee was stunned, thought for two seconds, and nodded, "That's great." β
William and Hermione sat down on the couch, and he looked around and noticed that there were quite a few books on the shelves in the room.
In front of the books, there are also various photographs.
A photo in the back caught his eye, and he walked over and picked it up.
The two teenagers held each other's arms and seemed to be extraordinarily intimate.
Especially the blonde boy, who turned his head to look at the man next to him, his lazy smile with a hint of pampering.
It's the sour taste of love, that's right!
"Ma'am, where did you get this picture...... "William asked, looking up.
Bassat seemed to know, and he was asking which photograph it was, and explained softly: "I took it."
I'm Gellert Grindelwald's aunt.
That summer, he came to Godric's Hollow to look for me.
I introduced little Albus to him and helped them find ...... The grave of Ignotus Peverell. β
Bassat babbled and introduced. In her words:
"These two children who have tasted the vicissitudes of the world prematurely hit it off at first sight, and they fell in love like fire and pot."
William and Hermione exchanged glances. They had known for a long time that the Headmaster had had an unusual relationship with Grindelwald.
It's just that there has been no stone hammer before.
Well, now the stone hammer.
Also, Bassat introduced the two to each other, why does it sound so similar...... Blind date.
"Gellert, come quickly! My neighbor is a handsome guy, just graduated this year, single mother, honest, never talked about it in school.
His original family is average, his father died early, and he was raised by his mother, as well as younger brothers and sisters.
But it's a good person, and I'll introduce you to you.
Of course, he's not a brother-in-law demon, but he's a sister-in-law demon, you can think about whether you can accept it yourself......"
"Little Albus, I have a distant relative, a talented person with an extraordinary bearing.
However, he is not highly educated, he was expelled from school before graduating, he is a gangster, and he does not have much education.
But as the saying goes, why do you need such a high degree of education?
You are responsible for being talented, and he is responsible for being beautiful as a flower.
Do you go one place first, and then talk about whether you can succeed or not? β
Isn't there a picture?
Soon, the house-elf brought the meal.
Dinner was hearty: Swiss cheese fondue with rich Italian cheese and truffles in a pot.
A Piedmontese meat dumpling, fragrant cheese filling, cooked in butter and sprinkled with Parma.
There are also three bowls of specialty pasta, with a whitish color and an attractive aroma.
No wonder Yi Duli was in charge of being funny on the battlefield of World War II, such delicious noodles, if it was William, he didn't want to fight.
The three of them were hungry for a long time, and they were all swept away, and they ate with relish.
While eating, Hermione asked, "Treeny, do you know the tombs of Dandolo, the Doge of Venice, and Santa Lucia?" β
TreenΓ©e is a native of Venice and probably knows a little more about this than Basshat.
"Tombs? Do we need to find a tomb? β
She thought for a moment and said, "Santa Rucia's bones are best known for being buried in the Church of St. Jeremiah in Venice. β
"But that's only part of the story."
"Her remains are scattered all over the world, even in Venice in more than one place."
The reason is simple, it is believed that her remains have special powers and that anyone who possesses it will live a long life.
Therefore, her bones have been stolen, moved, and divided countless times, and have fallen into the hands of the most powerful people in history.
Just for longevity!
"As for the tomb of Doge Dandolo......"
"Everyone in the Venetian knows it." "He was buried in Constantinople," said TereenΓ©. β
"Goblet of Fire in Constantinople?" Hermione frowned.
"Nope." Bassat shook his head and said categorically: "You ignored the last sentence. β
She whispered:
"In the depths of the phoenix's rebirth,
The lagoon does not reflect the stars.
Monsters wait in the dark,
Merlin's prophecy will come true. β
"In Merlin's prophecy, as far as I know, there is only one one that involves monsters."
The old man said in a hoarse voice:
"King Votigan wanted to build a tower, but failed.
No matter how hard his soldiers worked during the day, at night, the tower would suddenly collapse overnight.
Merlin, who was only seven years old at the time, 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.
Merlin also predicts that the two dragons will fight each other: the red dragon will eventually defeat the white dragon. β
"So ......"
"So, those two dragons were enchanted by Merlin and trapped in the Goblet of Fire." The old man muttered.
"The floods in Italy are due to the awakening of one of the dragons.
You must find the Goblet of Fire before you stop the dragon.
Otherwise the country will definitely be ruined by it. β
