Chapter 208: Miserable Sir Nicholas
If Sir Nicholas chose to be openly close to Muggles at that time, it was only slightly politically incorrect in the context of the time.
Then his next move can be called extremely stupid.
As a perfect antithesis to Gryffindor folly.
It was the night of October 30, 1492, an ordinary Sunday, two days after Columbus arrived in Cuba.
Sir Nicholas was strolling through the park after dinner when he met the crooked Lady Greave.
He fell in love with the lady at first sight, and also misestimated his charm, believing that the girl would also fall in love with him at first sight.
But, to be honest, Sir Nicholas still looks somewhat handsome, and his flirtatious, magnetic voice probably does appeal to many women.
After that, out of the desire for good things, Sir Nicholas wanted to use magic to help the lady straighten her crooked teeth, but unfortunately, his magic was a bit lame.
When the strange spell that William couldn't name struck the poor lady, it all happened so suddenly, and her teeth began to return to normal, if it had only stopped, it would have been a very successful spell.
Before she could thank Lady Greeve when she realized that her teeth were normal again, she was horrified to find that the spell had much more to do than that.
Driven by magic, a pair of teeth in her jaw began to grow uncontrollably outward, and not only that, but her other teeth also grew in size, growing uncontrollably towards the outside of her mouth, as if they had been enchanted with an expansion charm.
Eventually, she developed a pair of sharp fangs and a mouth full of turned teeth, and the unpretty but human lady was permanently transformed into another creature due to a false spell and a crappy wizard.
It's a lot worse than a simple crooked tooth!
Because those teeth seemed to have grown out of her, they could no longer be changed with Transfiguration or Healing Charms.
Even with the modern magic of a modern wizard, or the healing techniques of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, it would be impossible to restore her to her original form.
She could only spend the rest of her life with this terrifying face, and this sudden encounter also made Lady Greeve live in pain for the rest of her life.
In the end, the lady chose to end her short life on her own.
This is magic, which brings wizards extraordinary convenience and extraordinary abilities, but also conceals the same dangers, and it is not generous without expecting anything in return.
If you lose your caution, or if you lose yourself in magic, the magic will show its equally sharp fangs and tear you to pieces.
Like poor unlucky bastard, Sir Nicholas.
As a result of this mistake, Sir Nicholas was discovered and confirmed to be a wizard, and he was imprisoned in a dungeon and sentenced to death.
Just before he was locked in the dungeon, his wand was also taken away, making it impossible for him to use magic to escape there. He had been shouting all night that he would soon be able to undo the damage done to Lady Greeve.
It's really lame enough, and you can't even cast spells without a wand!
William complained viciously in his heart, for him, even if he was robbed of his wand, William had many ways to escape from a dungeon.
Unlike Sir Nicholas, he would not leave his fate in the hands of others, so William did not spend the night shouting and begging for forgiveness.
Instead, take their fate into their own hands and escape from prison.
And he wouldn't get caught by Muggles for such stupidity. Unlike the hapless crappy wizard Sir Nicholas, who was caught by people for such a trivial matter, and then buried his own life.
The morning after this incident, our Sir Nicholas lost his head, and although it was not examined too rigorously, it was probably the most efficient death penalty ever executed in England.
The next morning a priest came to Sir Nicholas's cell to comfort him and escorted him to the place of execution at dawn.
By the time the executioner told him to kneel in front of the stones, he was unable to weep.
Probably out of fear of death, William thought in his heart, this is not a shameful thing, it is human nature to have a fear of death.
Therefore, it takes a lot of courage to overcome death as something that deserves to be celebrated.
Gryffindor is a symbol of courage, but not every Gryffindor has the courage to charge towards death like Sir Cadogan.
Although Sir Cadogan may seem stupid, reckless, and lacking Ravenclaw-like intelligence, he is full of courage and a sense of justice, just like Gryffindor.
A dynamic person always has a passion for life that comes from the depths of the soul, which is one of the reasons why they can influence others.
And he escaped death in the end, or rather, defeated it.
When confronted by the Wyvern, Sir Cadogan made a choice worthy of his Gryffindor education, and he bravely charged at the Wyvern, riding an inferior pony and holding a broken wand.
Perhaps even the Grim Reaper would not take such a fearless soul like this, but Sir Cadogan survived, killed the White Wyvern to the limit, and was posthumously made into a portrait, forever praised by the people.
Unlike poor Sir Nicholas, who ended his life ridiculously because of such a spell.
However, the executioner's axe was blunt, because the stone used to sharpen the axe did not know where to put it. (The man who hid the whetstone probably hates him very much!) William speculated unscrupulously in his heart. )
So the executioner used a blunt axe, and Nicholas was slashed forty-five times in total, but even then there was a little skin and tendon that connected his neck.
This is also the origin of the title of Nick, who almost lost his head.
What a scene full of irony and dramatic tragedy.
If he had been more patient at the time, I'm afraid the title would have become the miserable Headless Sir Nick.
William looked at Sir Nicholas, who was complaining to him, and thought with some contempt in his heart.
