Chapter 90: Blame (Ask for Recommendation)

Harry Evans's expression changed slightly.

"Isn't that so?" Matthew said with a relaxed face, "For many people, when they see someone bitten on the neck and suck blood, they will subconsciously think that a vampire did it, or some other blood-sucking monster did it!"

"It's clearly stuck in a stereotyped mindset, and that's what the real criminal is for—"

"Is it difficult to make two small holes in the neck that the fangs pierce? it is enough to make a simple transfiguration, turn your teeth into canine canine teeth, and then you yourself become a 'blood-sucking monster'...... As for sucking some of the blood from the target, there are countless spells that can achieve such an effect!"

"So, whoever attacked Weasley and Justin wasn't necessarily a real 'blood-sucking monster'! any qualified wizard could do this, and he could be a fake 'blood-sucking monster'. Matthew said with an affirmative face:

"Especially when there is really a vampire on the campus of Hogwarts, all these actions are most likely just to 'blame' the vampire!"

"After all, the wizarding world generally has a deep prejudice against real vampires, and at the same time has a certain hostile attitude...... When a real vampire, our venerable Professor Troka, haunts the realm of a vampire attack, then he will be the most suspicious 'suspect' in the first place, right?"

"Of course!" Harry Evans smirked.

"But I think there's one thing that comes as a surprise to you, Miss Evans. Matthew continued, "That's the series of attacks at Hogwarts, which have been forced down under the thunderous hand of our Vice Chancellor, Professor Rozier, and have not been made public...... I guess this situation is a bit against you, because then you can't make the vampire Professor Troka really the target of the 'target'!"

"That is in the past. Harry Evans said disdainfully, "Just ten minutes ago, that respected Transfiguration teacher had been captured by the other professors at the school...... I'm just doing a little trick...... It won't be long before the entire wizarding world will know that he was the real culprit of the Hogwarts attack, and he will spend the rest of his life in Azkaban......"

"And I'm still at large!"

"Really?" Matthew didn't seem to care much about the news, at least his face didn't fluctuate:

"Then let me continue to guess your purpose, Miss Evans...... The reason why you want to disguise the attack as a blood-sucking monster...... Actually, it's just to cover up the truth of something!"

"So you even guessed this?" Harry Evans looked at Matthew coldly, "It's amazing!"

"I'm just observant. Matthew said with a humble face, "Plus a little guess, after all, anything other than a madman needs a reason, right?"

Harry Evans snorted.

"The reason why the attacked students have the illusion of being sucked by some kind of creature is not only to draw attention to the real vampires in the school, but also to point the attention to—" Matthew continued, "You know, there are two unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, and they have been sucked dry of blood!"

"The blood of the unicorn is your real goal, or one of the real goals, Miss Evans!" Matthew looked directly at the little boy in front of him, who was half a head shorter than himself, "Because the blood of the unicorn, after taking it, has a mysterious use...... It can help some dying wizards and prolong their lives......"

“...... In the whole of Britain, only the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts has a living unicorn...... Of course, they now seem to have been transferred to Austria as well. Matthew smiled and said, "That's what you're really for, isn't it...... All the attacks are just a cover-up, a cover for your real goal - in fact, to drink the blood of the unicorn in order to keep you alive!"

"Tell you the truth, Mr. Wakefield!" Harry Evans had a regretful look on his face, "I actually really appreciate you." It's just a pity that you seem to know too many things......"

She looked ready to raise her wand at any moment.

"Miss Evans, maybe I know better!" Matthew didn't look afraid, but blinked a little mischievously.

"Oh, tell me?" Harry Evans glanced at Matthew in surprise.

"That's—" Matthew said slowly:

"Aside from the blood of the unicorn, you came to Hogwarts in search of something else—"

"Something that can also be used to renew your life, and the effect is better than the blood of a unicorn—"

didn't say a short paragraph, Matthew would deliberately pause and sell a pass:

"That's—"

"Philosopher's Stone!"

Seeing Harry Evans' somewhat stunned look, Matthew spread his hands with some regret:

"Looks like I guessed it right!"

"The Philosopher's Stone, the purest, most precious, and most magical substance. The highest masterpiece of ancient alchemy to date, it can fulfill the most primitive wishes of wizards, including infinite life...... The way to achieve this is to make the elixir of life through the Philosopher's Stone......"

"If it is used to prolong life, the elixir of life is obviously better than the blood of a unicorn...... After all, if you drink the blood of a unicorn, you also need to bear the curse of the unicorn, and the elixir of life does not have such bad side effects!"

"Our history of magic teacher once told us that the alchemy method of making the Philosopher's Stone was lost hundreds of years ago...... At this stage, the only remaining philosopher's stone in the world is at Hogwarts...... After a few rumors, its current owner is Headmaster Gellert Grindelwald!"

As he spoke, Matthew glanced at Harry Evans, "So, since you entered the school, you have been wandering around the campus, and you have been appearing in all kinds of strange places for no reason......"

"This wandering is not just to familiarize yourself with the environment, your real goal is to find the Philosopher's Stone of Headmaster Grindelwald, right?"

Harry Evans' face suddenly darkened, but she did not deny Matthew's words.

"It's just that judging from the current situation, I don't think you have succeeded!" Matthew said with great regret.
