Chapter 35: Tracing the Blockade

Brandy had heard Dumbledore talk about this a long time ago, and as the price of refining the Philosopher's Stone, Nicolame had lost his beloved daughter forever. This is not just the daughter's life, but the loss of all the bits and pieces of living with her, including feelings and memories.

At first, he actually didn't understand the setting of losing his memory, the magic of magic can even do it with the flesh and bones of the living dead, so what is it to just recover his memory, or simply reshape his memory?

Besides, it's not the same as the unknown treasure trove builder who erased the memories associated with him in the entire world. Lemay's wife didn't have amnesia, as long as she opened her heart to Lemay, wanting to relive Gloria's past was probably a matter of a few regents.

The next day, however, he fully understood that the laws of equivalent exchange were far more stringent than he had imagined.

When Lemay stood on the podium again, he could be regarded as radiant, as if he had suddenly become more than a hundred years younger. Brandi thought it was because LeMay had accepted his death, or because he was deeply pleased that his plot had succeeded—after all, his expression at himself was hateful.

However, after class, when Brandi chased after the faculty lounge and knocked on the side to ask Lemay more about the things recorded on the paper, he got Lemay's blank look.

"What are you talking about, little ghost?" Lemay stared at Brandi curiously. "Didn't I just teach you how to communicate and train your wand guardian yesterday, and when did I hand you a note? It was possible 500 years ago, but of course you wouldn't have dreamed... A girl of Miss Thomson's or Miss Delacour's kind is the best choice—don't stare at me like that, I just have to take a look to see how you got these two lumps of stuff on your chest now, which Perenal's use was the rest of his youth. ”

Obviously, the memories of the guardians were still there, but the part of the memories they mentioned about Gloria had been quietly erased and replaced after a while. That's why Lemay, who once again forgot about his daughter, seemed so relaxed.

“…… Not. So after thinking about it again, Brandi held the paper with the seven-pointed star seal behind his back, but finally did not find a chance to take it out again. He did have a long list of questions to ask, but it didn't seem like much to look forward to having an old man who was looking forward to a long journey relive the pain and hatred before leaving.

Then on the third day, Lemay couldn't even remember looking for Brandi.

Now, the burden of studying the above information fell on his head.

It took two alchemy lessons (Lemay gave a really good lecture, but unfortunately he couldn't keep up after he slept in the first class), and Brandi confirmed that the piece of paper that Lemay had given him was nothing special, that it had not been magically attached, and that it was more like an improvised note from some old notebook that his wife Perenal had ripped off than some important last words or clues.

At the beginning, it is a line, and it is the only line of scribbled text.

"Don't trust anyone, don't promise anything."

Brandi pondered for a long time, and found this sentence really interesting, for he had no idea that it was a note taken by Madame Lemay from Gloria...... I wrote it specifically for Brandi himself.

The former is fine, and perhaps Gloria wants to say that there are fraudsters in the expedition who put everyone to death. But if it's the latter...... Nalemay, or even Dumbledore? Are they 'anyone'?

Underneath that sentence is a magic array drawn in black ink that has been somewhat eroded to the point of spreading—to be honest, apart from the Seven Seals, Brandi really can't think of any other place where the reversed seven-pointed star will be used. You know, he still remembered Hermione's explanation of the seven-pointed star seal, which is not something that humans can control at all. Just imagine, since the seven-pointed star in the right position is a formation used to summon demons...... And what about the reversed ones?

He shuddered.

But this brings us to the second problem...... If this really has anything to do with the Seven Seals...... How did it come out of thin air in the Middle Ages hundreds of years ago?

At that time, the key to the seal must still be safely hidden in the Ravenclaw common room?! It was only in recent decades that Myrtle was discovered from a vast collection of books...... How did Gloria sneak into the seal and take one of the seal materials when the door wasn't even opened hundreds of years ago!

And speaking of which...... Since the seal is no longer complete, the contents should have been broken a long time ago, but when she asked Professor Roman in class today, she swore that there had been no interesting situation in the Benas Desert since the exploration of Gloria's ruins.

Hell yes.

Brandy, who had found nothing at Roman's and returned to the dormitory during his lunch break, couldn't figure it out, so he had to open his notebook, lie on his bed, and write on it with a quill dipped in ink - the place where the third seal was sealed may be located in the depths of the Benas Desert in Spain.

It was the fourth day of the week. I don't know if Beauxbatons really had to teach as much of the event as possible during this time, but the girls at Hogwarts suddenly noticed that the class schedule was starting to get extremely tight, and the 8-to-9 day was even more terrifying than the Hogwarts review week before the end of the semester.

However, this has the advantage of allowing everyone to be busy and slowly stop wasting energy on the two vicious attacks that happened a few days ago.

The vicious monsters in black cloaks have not yet been found, but the floor below the cantilevered tower where they live has been specially inhabited by several Aurors from the French Ministry of Magic due to Lemay's arrival, and the school's garrison is significantly higher.

In this case... That guy shouldn't come out and hurt people again.

"Alas...... So sleepy, Britney! How do you feel that as soon as you close your eyes, you will have to go to class again. ”

Katie, dressed in a gown, plunged in through the door, and in a daze, she found a random hug and was about to pounce up, like a cornered sleepy bug. Britney, who was struggling to take care of her steel wire, was shocked and quickly put her hand against the head she wanted to drill into her chest. His chest at this moment was not supported by the two chest pads, and if he hit his head with it, he might have a concussion.

In the afternoon, there will be a session on wizarding etiquette on ornaments and how to wear medals, and then immediately Lemay's alchemy of runes, both of which will be two hours in total...... As a result, the lunch break, which ended at two o'clock, was brought forward to one o'clock.

"Beauxbatons, what is this going to do? I really don't understand it right now. "Sleep deprivation, Britney is starting to get a little irritable." Obviously, the class schedule on Monday is not like this, why are there so many classes all of a sudden? ”

"Maybe Madame Maxim wants to finish the next two days of class at once?" Qiu Zhang rubbed his eyes and tightened his belt a little tighter. "Didn't you notice? The new classes added yesterday and today are the two on Saturday's schedule. She probably wanted to have a big event before we left......"

"Event?!"

Katie removed Britney's hand from her head, and her little face, which had just been sleepy and unconscious, suddenly changed to a chattering look. "Speaking of activities, I've heard the Beauxbatons girl who played Quidditch together mentioned something interesting~"

"What's that?" Qiu Zhang said.

"The girls of Beauxbatons have been studying duel magic hard lately! The professor who taught them Charms seemed to have told them that they would probably be able to use it this weekend. ”

"Huh?!"

Britney's expression became surprised. "No, is Madame Maxim planning to hold a duel between the two schools at the end? This is too cunning! We don't have time to prepare! ”

"Otherwise, Madame Maxim said on the first day of her arrival at the school, 'House exchange is not a gentle and fun game of play', and the light schedule in front of us is just to numb our nerves, maybe it is to wait until the final duel match to give us a dismount!" Katie said with a serious analysis. "If we lose the game, Beauxbatons will definitely make a big splash to boost their reputation."

Unexpectedly, Qiu Zhang didn't seem to be a little nervous at all, and after the initial surprise, she quickly relaxed and began to choose the necklace required by the etiquette class in front of the mirror. "If that's all there is to it, you can rest assured that we will never lose in this duel."

"Huh?" Katie, bluffed by Akihari's fascination with confidence, widened her eyes curiously.

Qiu Zhang looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and a necklace studded with broken diamonds was around his white and slender neck.

"Because we have Wendy here~ You are not Ravenclaw, and it may not be clear yet. When it comes to actual combat, she and Sister Oriana are both the students that Dean Flitwick admires the most.

You should know Professor Flitwick's level of dueling - he was an English duel champion when he was younger! And Wendy was able to survive ten minutes of undefeated under his hands, and the professor nicknamed her the witch of the sky because of this......"

"Wow!" Katie looked at Qiu Zhang with admiration, her eyes shining. "What about Sister Orianna? Isn't she also very powerful? ”

Akihari shrugged.

"Sister Orianna is indeed very strong... Even better than Professor Flitwick in some cases. However, in the face-to-face duel competition, the senior sister couldn't give full play to her advantages. ”

She put on her high heels and took a few steps on the ground. Then he threw Britney's silver-ring necklace on the bedside table to her

"Ethereal whereabouts, silent attacks, familiarity with the surrounding environment, control of the opponent's psychology and the rhythm of battle...... It's a pity that none of these are useful in the open dueling arena. Otherwise, if it were in a complicated terrain, even Professor Flitwick would not be able to help Sister Oriana-after all, Senior Sister is good at tracking and ambushing, 'tracking and blocking'. ”
