Chapter 278: Counting is Counting
“……”
“……”
People watched the back of the powerful wizard disappear from their field of vision, and then began to whisper.
A low hum rang out from all sides of the venue, and some of the well-informed students finally recovered from the shock of the great changes and accidents, and began to think, remembering that they had known about the mysterious wizard before.
And in the process of sharing with the people around them, this information also began to spread rapidly, spreading like lightning to the whole audience, and almost everyone knew about it.
In the three words, the students were amazed.
They learned if it was a wizard from the United States, or a wanted criminal, who was said to have been so sinister that a spell destroyed a street and killed twenty people, including five official wizards, and fifteen Muggles who were caught up in it.
It's almost a copy of Sirius Black, the prisoner of Azkaban the year before, but it's an enhanced version.
He was initially charged with poaching dragons, bribing his superiors, threatening colleagues, etc., and was sentenced to life in prison, but he pleaded not guilty to the charges, absconded in fear of crime, and committed even more heinous crimes......
- Sounds like an outlaw, and anyone who knows about it will feel indignant.
It's just that after a fierce battle to slay the dragon, the four dragons that have lost control and are wreaking havoc everywhere - powerful dragons that behave abnormally - have completely refreshed people's perception and common sense of this magical creature.
A powerful roar that seems to be like talking......
Five or six hundred feet of deadly flames erupted......
Tough dragon skin and hard scales bring terrifying resistance......
Wizards with a little common sense know that these fire dragons are definitely not normal, they seem to have turned into another kind of ancient monster species without knowing when, but they are more dangerous and more ferocious.
So, coupled with the unbelievable words that Noah said just now, everyone began to take them out of context and desperately interpret his words.
Of course, it is impossible for them to really be able to directly obtain more complete and detailed information than Noah obtained by devouring the dragon soul just because of a few words, nor can they say that through a strange and unfamiliar word of "ancient dragon species", they can directly open the monster illustrated book.
Noah doesn't trust anyone right now, and he urgently needs to digest the power that comes with being a Dragonborn, but they just have a bit of a hard time interpreting it.
Soon, everyone almost unanimously agreed that there must be something else going on, a terrible conspiracy, perhaps because the wizard had discovered some shocking secret about the fire dragon, so he was targeted by the Americans.
Some people swear that the reason why the fire dragon became like this must be because someone has done some terrifying magic experiment on this magical creature. After all, some magical creatures that are classified as the same level of danger as the fire dragon are not born in the first place.
Yes, there are a lot of magical creatures that are quite dangerous, and they are artificial species created by wizards through experiments using magic.
The basilisk, for example, hatched from a male egg and a toad, is a creature bred by a dark wizard.
Another example is the five-legged monster, which lives on the northernmost island of Scotland, Delia, which cannot be mapped to ensure that Muggles cannot find and land on the island, as the five-legged monster is a carnivore with a special penchant for humans.
And their origin is also debatable, after all, according to legend, there were once two wizarding families living on the island of Delia, namely the McBoon Clan and the McLeavor Clan, and there was a feud between them.
Once, the heads of two wizarding families engaged in a wizarding duel after drinking, and as a result, the head of the McLewway clan was killed. In revenge, members of the McLeaver clan attacked the McBride clan and turned all members of the opposing party into five-legged monsters.
However, they soon realized that compared to the wizards of the original rival family, the other party's transformed monster was undoubtedly more dangerous than the mancer of the original rival family, which was addicted to human flesh...... It's a pity that they don't have a chance to correct such a mistake.
Because the five-legged monster killed everyone on the island afterward.
The truth of this legend is unknown, as neither of the two families has survivors to tell the people of today what happened to their ancestors. Moreover, the five-legged monsters cannot speak, and they are determined to resist all attempts by the people of the Department of Magical Beasts Control to restore them to their original form.
So it can only be assumed that if the five-legged monster was really transformed by humans, then they must be very willing to be a five-legged monster now.
It can be seen that although there are many terrifying beasts and monsters roaming the wizarding world, they are quite bizarre, and their existence itself seems to be some kind of absurdity, but not all of them are naturally such and evolved in the magical environment.
And now, some of the dragons behave so unconventionally, even as if they are super evolved, it really makes people wonder if they have been transformed by the evil magic of the dark wizard again.
Some people even think about what happened this year, about the "Dark Mark of the Dark", "Death Eaters" and so on, and then link it to the famous Harry Potter being chosen as a Warrior, Professor Moody claiming that it was a murder, and so on.
Before you know it, there is a market for conspiracy theories, and everyone feels that they have grasped the vein of the truth.
“……”
“……”
Dumbledore was also watching Noah's departure at the moment, he wanted to leave the man behind, but he was completely unsure, after the other party devoured the power of the three-headed fire dragon, it seemed that the power was completely wasted and turned into his own ability.
He had never seen such a bizarre phenomenon before, and he didn't know what magic or special way he could unconditionally plunder the magic power of the fire dragon, but that didn't prevent him from judging how threatening Noah was.
One plus one is not necessarily equal to two, it is more likely to be greater than two, so the result is that Dumbledore is completely unsure.
Besides, the current situation is chaotic, and it is impossible for him to gamble the lives of countless people and start a top-level duel with each other when there are still students around him...... In that case, whether you win or lose, the triple number of casualties will definitely start.
And if it was possible, he didn't actually want to talk to the other party in full view of everyone in the situation just now.
Dumbledore preferred to keep some information in his own hands so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and he was keenly aware that something bad was about to happen, and it felt like Voldemort was about to return......
It's a pity that if this is not the case, the other party will leave immediately, he can't ask anything, and now at least he has obtained some useful information, although it is public......
Let's just hope it's not a catastrophe!
But it shouldn't be a big problem, after all, the problem of the mutation of the fire dragon is at most a reproduction of the history of the five-legged monster, and the impact of Voldemort and the Death Eaters is the crisis that can really shake the entire wizarding world and shake the current wizarding social order.
Dumbledore thought so, even though he was a wise wizard, it was a pity that he could not have a vision that was out of the times, and coupled with the limitations of information and intelligence, he naturally made a wrong judgment.
But also, who would think that a few dragons could be more troublesome than Voldemort?
Even if they had already found out that there was something wrong with these fire dragons, they felt that they had overestimated them to the maximum.
However, the common sense and knowledge of the past, as well as the experience of this area, are still overwhelming, and they cannot be overwhelmed by an unfamiliar concept such as "ancient dragons", unless they see it with their own eyes.
"Professor McGonagall, I'd like to ask you to bring Harry and Miss Granger here...... I have something I want to ask them. ”
But after thinking about it, Whitebeard Wizard still felt that it would be better to ask more, especially those dragon roars that were much more powerful than spells, the power was really concerning, if only there were so many.
Quan can be regarded as a powerful black magic, and the impact is not great, and it can be slowly explored in the future, why the fire dragon developed such a spell-like attack method.
But if they are a complete set and a system, this is troublesome, which means that maybe the problems that occur in the fire dragon are more troublesome than those of the five-legged monster, and maybe the danger level of the magical creature will have to be divided into a special level to summarize the mutants of the fire dragon.
And then there's ......
Looking at the messy and devastated field below, and looking at the chaotic scene around him, even the white wizard felt an extreme headache.
The current scene even he feels tricky and uncontrollable, how many complaints he will receive tomorrow is completely conceivable, and the most important thing is ...... Can the Triwizard Tournament continue to be held?
Let's continue to hold it, it seems that there is a problem no matter how you look at it.
But if you don't hold it, the magic contract of the Goblet of Fire is also a headache, as a magical item with powerful magic, every time it is opened and burned, the selected warriors must complete the Triwizard Tournament, which is not negotiable!
And if you give up, all the manpower, material resources, and a lot of resources that have been prepared for this by the entire European magical community for so long will be wasted...... With such a big investment, you have to listen to it, right?
Even Dumbledore felt a terrible headache, he could only celebrate the current Minister of Magic, that fool Fudge was not here today, otherwise, this power-obsessed guy would probably think that because he was a minister-
Therefore, whoever has greater strength than him must obey his arrangement.
Then, with his style, he will definitely be very tough and ready to leave the wizard Noah and even arrest the other party...... It was definitely a tragedy, I don't know at that time, which part of his body was the most complete body he could have left?
Toes? Nose?
After a moment's hesitation, Dumbledore remembered what he had discovered about Moody's true identity - because the Polyjuice Potion had a duration of effect, the imposter fell into a coma after the Screaming Shack had his bones crushed all over his body.
After being sent back to the school infirmary, his original form was quickly revealed.
Later, Dumbledore, who was rushed to the other party, used the truth teller to force out the whole plan, and blocked the news to plan the plan......
