Chapter 253: What Is the End of Magic?

"It turned out to be Brian López. Zhang Qiu said in surprise.

"Who's that?" Harry asked.

"The patriarch of the López family, a fortune-teller of great repute. Zhang Qiu whispered close to Harry's ear, "Do you remember the card collection game that is very popular among students, it is full of some very powerful magicians of our time, and he is among them, and he is considered the most powerful soothsayer in two hundred years." ”

Harry nodded, "I see, the last two hundred years of the most powerful soothsayer can't be his father, right?"

Zhang Qiu shook his head: "No, it's his grandfather." ”

"Oh......"

"It is rumored that his eyes, without the use of divination magic, can see the trajectory of a person's life just by looking at it, of course I think this is exaggerated. ”

"However, his strength in divination is beyond doubt, and his "One Hundred Thousand Divination", "Divination Neijing", and "Divination and Dream Interpretation" are called "Divination Bible". ”

"And there's another important point. Zhang Qiu said, "Have you ever seen a knight?"

Harry said, "I've seen a little bit. ”

"Is there always any alchemist guild, talisman guild, spirit array guild and other things in those, and what is superior, there is no one in ten thousand, but it is useless in the later stage, and no one takes these into their eyes at all. ”

"Pole to pole. Harry laughed, drawing a sideways look.

After the others looked away, Zhang Qiucai said again: "We also have something similar in the magic world, called the Fortune Tellers Guild. ”

"The soothsayers' guild is not such a goldless thing, the soothsayers in it are very rich and respectable, because some sorcerers ask them to prophesy, take refuge in disasters, and just put their names in the guild, they can receive a lot of Galleons every year. Brian López was the former president of the Guild of Fortune Tellers. The current president of the Fortune Tellers' Guild is his disciple. ”

Zhang Qiu added uneasily: "I heard that Trelawney is also a member of the Fortune Tellers Guild. ”

Harry knew what Zhang Qiu meant, and was worried that Brian López would play favoritism and help Trelawney.

He laughed: "If he dares, then let him walk in and fly out." ”

......

Brian Lopez walked towards the center of the match, pausing as he passed Harry's side, looking at Harry with those transparent eyes.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Potter." ”

Looking at it, he couldn't laugh, but frowned, confused.

Harry was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Brian Lopez to be so strong in spirit, he was the most powerful wizard he had ever seen, if it was purely mental power, he was a little stronger than Dumbledore.

But compared to Harry, it's still far inferior.

Brian López: He found that he couldn't see through Harry at all.

He can see through the past of wizards and foresee the future of wizards, although this ability has become less and less visible as the magic of the person being observed increases, but there has never been a situation where he cannot see the slightest.

For example, when he first met Dumbledore, he could briefly see that Dumbledore had just eaten seven lemon ice creams.

But when you look at Harry, there is only a vast white, the past and the future.

Is it impossible to see through, or is it what will happen in the future that affects the present?

Harry asked, "Do you have cataracts, do you have cataracts? I know a good doctor, would I like to introduce you?"

Brian López looked dazed, he couldn't understand Harry's words.

He looked at Professor Dumbledore pleadingly.

Professor Dumbledore said with a slight embarrassment, "That's what Muggles call an eye disease." ”

Brian López: "......"

......

Brian López walked up to them and said, "I will be the referee for this match, and I will give the result fairly and impartially." Do you have any objections?"

Trelawney, with glasses thicker than the bottom of Hagrid's glass, and long, curly, seaweed-like hair that covered half of her face, shook her head.

Hermione looked at Brian Lopez excitedly, shook her head like a rattle, and said, "No." ”

She should have known that with Hermione's character, as long as she was focused on something, she could know everything about it.

To Brian López, she must have known that all his deeds, including every prophecy he made, were reversed.

Brian Lopez smiled at Hermione, who seemed extraordinarily active.

"Because the prophecy made before something happened, it can't immediately verify the facts, and you can't accurately judge your divination level, so the content of this competition is mainly based on divination what has happened, and I will give you questions from all aspects. Brian López said.

Neither Hermione nor Trelawney spoke.

Trelawney was surprisingly confident today, knowing that she would always only say something vague and vague.

"Trelawney, you were supposed to participate in the union's annual divination ability test, but because of Albus's letter, you have not been mandatory, so today's competition will also be used as a union assessment of you to determine whether you are eligible to stay in the soothsayer's union. Brian López said.

Trelawney nodded reluctantly.

Seeing that the game is about to start.

Professor Victor of the arithmetic and divination class seemed to be more excited than Hermione herself, she stood up, held the table with one hand, clenched the other into a fist, and said, "Come on, Miss Granger!"

Professor Victor has always disliked Professor Trelawney, or lacked the courage and self-confidence to face her, because Trelawney always looked down on her when he talked to her, and looked down on her.

Professor Victor knew why this was the case, because she taught arithmetic and divination, while Trelawney taught divination.

At present, the mainstream of the wizarding world has a distrustful attitude towards arithmetic divination, because arithmetic divination is a new magical discipline, and most wizards are reluctant to accept new things, believing that traditional divination is orthodox and true divination magic.

Trelawney oppressed her, excluded her, and disdained her arithmetic divination. He even said something nasty: "Victor, you really should abandon the inferior things you have studied and throw yourself into the arms of divination." You know, your arithmetic divination class is as ridiculous as the Muggles often talk about 'science'. ”

Professor Victor loved arithmetic divination classes, not only because she liked arithmetic divination, but also because her father was also a wizard who studied arithmetic divination, which deeply influenced her.

Her father devoted his life to spreading arithmetic divination, but unfortunately he was unable to achieve this goal until his death.

After his death, although arithmetic divination began to have a market, it was still not worth mentioning compared to traditional divination.

Her father was obsessed with Muggle civilization, and after studying Muggle civilization, he discovered that mathematics and arithmetic divination were similar, believing that Muggle advanced mathematics could be used as the core of arithmetic divination. There was even a conclusion that the end of magic is science.

Although Professor Victor thought that her father's conclusion was too exaggerated, at this time, looking at Hermione Granger's serious and confident expression, she suddenly remembered her father's words.

Daddy said: Use science to defeat magic!
