Chapter 316: People’s Will
Of course, Schelling has not forgotten that based on the intelligence he collected and Aquila's previous reminders, Schelling has already deduced that the boss behind the Walpurgis Knights is dormant in the Black Crime Square. The person who speaks the truth should be the despicable Herbo from the ancient Greek era.
According to Aquila, Herbo once fought a battle with the invincible Andros, and then Andros fought fiercely with the great black wizard Jafar Yahya of ancient Persia at the Battle of Thermopylae, and was eventually injured. Died from excess weight.
Two snake whisperers, one in Greece and one in Persia, seemingly unrelated people, both found Andros. In Schelling's opinion, it was too much of a coincidence——
Jafar is probably Helbo's Horcrux!
This involves Jafar, a character who has not yet appeared.
It is recorded in the historical documents collected by the family that Jafar Yahya was the royal wizard of the ancient Persian dynasty. He had the title of "Great Black Sky Witch" in that era and participated in the famous Battle of Thermopylae. So, obviously, his power base should be concentrated in Persia, Arabia and other West Asian regions.
If this is the case, the forces in West Asia cannot be ignored.
There are also many dark wizards in Persia (today's Iran, which still retains the title of Persia in the wizarding world), the most famous of which is the "Cobra" organization. They are like professional robbers in the wizarding world, specializing in robbing ordinary people's money. , treasures, and traces of banditry are all over the entire Greater Asia region.
Legend has it that they also built a crypt in the desolate desert to store looted treasures. It is said that the treasures inside are comparable to the collection of Gringotts in London. In the Muggle world fairy tale "Arabian Nights: Aladdin", the "Cave of Miracles" where the protagonist Aladdin finds the magic carpet and magic lamp is based on this model.
The Persian Ministry of Magic, the Arabian Magical Council and several other surrounding magical regimes have organized campaigns to suppress Cobra, but all ended in vain.
A group of robbers can be so lawless, which shows how powerful their power is in West Asia.
As for Jafar's own strength, Schelling didn't care much. It is true that Jafar was able to fight against Andros because he had the fighting power of the Great Magister. However, more than two thousand years have passed and Jafar's current strength should no longer be able to threaten him.
After all, if Schelling's speculation is accurate, Jafar can survive to this day only because he is Haierbo's Horcrux, not because he possesses the method of immortality.
Although Harry was just a Horcrux created by Voldemort inadvertently, this did not prevent Schelling from inferring the various effects of human Horcruxes from Harry -
First, as long as Voldemort does not die, Harry will not die either. Their lives and deaths are tied together.
Second, Harry passively obtained Voldemort's bloodline talent "Snake Whisperer", and the two were able to spy on each other's thoughts to a certain extent.
Third, no more. Harry will still grow up, get sick, get injured, and age normally... Harry will not become stronger because of this, either in terms of physical fitness or magical power. On the contrary, Harry's irritable and irritable emotional problems are very likely It's one of the side effects of Horcruxes...
By analogy, Jafar becoming Helbo's Horcrux will not enhance his magic power, nor can it prevent his aging. An old man over 2,000 years old, even if he was once a great mage, his soul, spirit and body are probably now exhausted to an unimaginable level.
Another strong proof is that Jafar did not appear at Little Hangleton Cemetery last night. If he really has the strength of a great magister, it would obviously be unwise to ignore or shelve such a strength. The greater possibility is that Jafar's true strength is simply not enough to participate in last night's battle.
To sum up, Jafar's strength can be ignored, but we cannot underestimate the other helpers that the Walpurgis Knights may invite through him to help.
Let's return to the objects Schelling filled his bed with.
After reading the bonus, the secret letter, and Moody's stuff, the rest were newspapers sent by owls from all over the world that had just been printed this morning. They were spread all over the bed, and some even spilled onto the ground at the foot of the bed. superior.
The newspapers are composed of various languages, and the headlines on the cover are undoubtedly about Xie Lin's victory in the Triwizard Tournament——
"Shock! The youngest champion warrior of the Fire Cup in history! 》
"202 Years Away—The Triwizard Tournament Winner Falls at Hogwarts"
"Win the Championship—The Malfoy family regains its glory!" 》
etc……
Below the headline on the cover is a photo of Xie Lin receiving the award. In the photo, Xie Lin shows his white teeth and smiles calmly at the camera. There is no pride in his expression, only a kind of self-confidence that should be so.
Xie Lin has read the content of all the articles - it is not so much a report on the Triwizard Tournament, but more about writing Xie Lin's legendary experience.
There is almost no mention of the content of the competition, and almost all the space is devoted to praising Schelling - such as his contribution to magical innovation, such as the unique way of using magic spells, such as the noble character displayed in the second project...
This made Xie Lin feel embarrassed after reading it.
How are these contents praising a Goblet of Fire champion warrior? They almost make Schelling a legend like Merlin and Dumbledore.
Sherin still remembers the crazy enthusiasm of the whole Hogwarts celebrating the championship last night - fireworks flying everywhere, champagne raining from the sky, enthusiastic cheers, sexy girls dancing, "Hail Sherrin!" one after another...
This grand occasion is almost comparable to the celebration after the Irish team won in Dartmoor last year.
Not to mention Slytherin, even the little wizards of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff would subconsciously say "Hail Sherrin!" as soon as they met, and then hugged each other tightly. The three camps of green, blue and yellow merged into a new camp without distinction - Hogwarts!
This honor does not belong to Sherin alone, nor to Slytherin, but to everyone in Hogwarts!
Even Gryffindor, who had always been at odds with Slytherin, realized this - the little lions were divided into two groups. The rational group believed that this honor belonged to Hogwarts and everyone, and should be included in the celebration. The other group was mostly students close to Harry, who left early and were unwilling to participate.
Everything was as Schelling had expected -
Winning the Triwizard Tournament was not just for a championship title. In Hogwarts, which values competitive spirit and victory and honor, it was an invisible artifact that brought people together!
For Schelling himself, the title of "Champion of the Triwizard Tournament" was nothing more than adding another honor to his countless halos. Being able to become a leader recognized by the little wizards of Hogwarts and leave a mark of admiration and respect in their hearts was Schelling's real purpose.
These little wizards represent the future of the wizarding world.
One can imagine how these young wizards will describe Schelling to their families, friends, and colleagues when they graduate and leave Hogwarts in a few years, when they go out into society and start their own families.
The hero of Hogwarts? The prince of Hogwarts? The legend of Hogwarts?
Whether he is a prince, a hero, or a legend, he is already popular among the people, and his story is destined to be passed down.
