Chapter 997 The Demon King

"But, didn't you say before that the Major Arcana doesn't do multiple-choice questions..."

"Wait until you become an official Major Arcana, Miss Reserve Chariot. Short skirt."

"Does dad come to school occasionally?"

"Well, for the monthly meeting, he will go back to Hogwarts once... Even if it is knee-high socks, the socks only count as one piece."

"Elena, do you have a lot of money? Does all the gold in Gringotts Wizarding Bank belong to you?"

"Those are actually liabilities. As for money - any product that can be clearly marked with a price in the magical world is almost equivalent to free for me. Hannah, you are counting two questions. You have almost run out of questions. , don’t waste it.”

Elena glanced at Hanhan, who had only a few pieces of underwear left, and shook her head helplessly.

I felt somewhat guilty for bullying such a silly little girl.

As for Luna, after asking a few questions, she stopped asking and started looking for a change of clothes in the closet.

While Luna was sorting away the clothes thrown away by Hannah and Hermione, she recalled the rare scene in which Mr. Lovegood was serious during the meeting.

Anyway, she is now a reserve Major Arcana. After witnessing a meeting of Elena at close range, she began to understand why her father was so strongly opposed to her joining the Major Arcana, and why Elena wanted them so desperately. be able to grow up as quickly as possible.

Those adults really lack imagination. Elena is... very lonely in the Major Arcana, right?

And at the same time, on the other side.

Hermione bit her lip, grabbed the Hyperion uniform on her body with both hands, and looked at Elena with an annoyed look on her face.

It's so despicable!

The lining of the Hyperion is a one-piece bodysuit!

In other words...

"You have one last question left, dear Miss Justice Reserve."

Elena said proudly, although this little game has no real use.

However, using wisdom to conquer the "Calculation Girl" in a place like this is indeed a very pleasant thing.

"Thanks for the reminder. However, I have already thought about the last question I want to ask."

Hermione glared at Elena fiercely, unzipped the zipper on her back and removed the close-fitting battle suit, and took a deep breath.

"You asked us to serve as reserve Major Arcana in advance. Are you doing it because you are bored and need playmates, or are you really planning to leave important life-threatening decisions in our hands? Is this world just a game to you? ?Don’t you think it’s a little too ridiculous—”

"Don't think so wildly, there are so many questions."

Before Hermione could finish her words, Elena put her finger on the little beaver's lips and said with a smile.

"I am a prophet with vision. In the future I see, you are the Minister of Magic - but that is not why I highly recommend you to serve as the Major Arcana. The most important thing is that I don't want you to If you are too far away from me in the future...if you walk too slowly, then I will help you build a pumpkin car, so that even if I become the moon later, I will not be alone in the sky."

"As for games? This description may not be accurate..."

Elena looked around at her friends in the room and spoke softly in a low voice.

"This is a fairy tale. You will find that if you want the fairy tale to have a perfect ending, it is much more difficult than completing the game."

"But we're only in second year," Hermione said.

With this evening's unique meeting of the Major Arcana, she had an unexplainable panic.

As the daughter of a doctor, even though her father is just a dentist, Hermione can still vaguely understand life and death, disease, and the weight of things discussed by Elena and the others in meetings - a few words determine the direction of the wizarding world. , and the fate of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people.

"You will find that this is not as complicated as you think," Elena said. "In the long history of human civilization, it is not uncommon for minors to participate in decision-making. This is also part of the inheritance of civilization and knowledge. That's all...you are the oldest among the four of us."

Elena glanced at Hermione, who was still a little uneasy, and sighed.

Therefore, smart, precocious children also have shortcomings - for example, Hannah and Luna are not so cranky.

"You've almost seen all the members of the Major Arcana today."

She thought for a moment and explained while helping Hermione take off the Hyperion's special Valkyrie battle suit.

"Look, let's not mention Nico Flamel, a living fossil who uses potions every day to stay alive. Professor Dumbledore and my grandfather alone only have a few to ten years of life left at most. Oh, yes There is also Mr. Newt Scamander, who is in his nineties this year. Birth, aging, illness and death are inevitable natural laws. They are just starting to prepare for their funeral now, which is considered very late."

Elena commented casually, anyway, respecting the elderly and being filial do not conflict with the laws of nature.

Even Dumbledore's current changes were not motivated by these considerations.

Gellert Grindelwald's love affair was abandoned, and Tom Riddle's trumpet was useless...

The professors in the school may succeed as the principal of Hogwarts, but there is no second rising star in the wizarding world who can take over the authority of the "Patron Saint"-if some knowledge and ideas are not passed on quickly, Maybe in a few decades, the wizarding world will be even weaker.

"Obviously, I am not necessarily going to inherit Hogwarts, I am destined to surpass them all——"

Elena said calmly, as if she was stating an established fact.

"So, this is like the chess pieces on a chessboard. No matter how many exquisite materials are replaced, some of the most basic positions will not change at all. At least until it becomes another intellectual activity, each position will remain unchanged. There must be new chess pieces to occupy the ranks.”

"And the three of you are the successors of the three old wizards after they pass away."

Hermione opened her mouth subconsciously.

On the other side, Hannah and Luna seemed stunned.

"Of course this is a metaphor, not asking you to take on their positions," Elena said, "I mean, a more illusory thing, similar to social prestige, or something that society relies solely on power... you will slowly You will understand this..."

She lightly snapped her fingers, and the clothes that were in the way disintegrated instantly and fell to her feet.

Elena opened her arms, hugged the three small wings, and pushed towards the luxurious bathroom in the Hyperion's captain's room.

"Okay, go take a comfortable bath and have a good rest - it's vacation time now."

…………

This night.

Hermione couldn't sleep for several hours.

She stared at the twinkling stars in the sky through the top window of the captain's lounge, feeling confused.

Will she become a wizard like Professor Dumbledore in the future? You know, a year ago she was an ordinary Muggle girl who had no idea that the magical world existed. But now he has to move forward and think towards the goal of Minister of Magic and Chief of the International Federation of Wizards.

Hermione turned her head and looked to the side. She wanted to shake the culprit awake and talk to her.

However, when she looked at Elena's delicate face, Hermione suddenly didn't know what to say.

"But I'm only thirteen years old," Hermione thought in confusion, "If I really am the Minister of Magic in the future, that will be me when I grow up..."

"But -" a small voice in her mind said, "Elena is only twelve years old, and she is even officially the Grand Arcana. Do you want to look up to her like a stranger in the future? Can we find out about her through newspapers? This guy is so annoying!"

Hermione turned over, not looking at Elena's beautiful and irritating face.

Tomorrow they will go to Valkyria's research and development base, and they will probably be flying around again.

Not surprisingly, she will most likely become the clumsiest chocobo among the four.

It would be great if flying could be like solving problems, then she would definitely be able to fly very well - relying on feeling, talent, etc., was really unreasonable. No matter how she put it, she envied Elena's A beautiful and handsome blue and white Valkyrie armor.

While thinking about Professor Dumbledore's important responsibilities and flying, Hermione quickly fell asleep.

…………

However, the next morning, Hermione's prayers in her sleep seemed to be answered by the gods.

After simply enjoying the breakfast cooked by Elena herself, Elena took out several sets of test papers from nowhere.

They were about to leave for Valkyria's research and development base, but before that, they had to complete a simple basic assessment, which was also prescribed by Elena to test the driver's comprehensive ability and ability in controlling mechas. Necessary procedures for matching.

This is a very dangerous and difficult game, and she doesn't want the little wings to touch those experimental models rashly.

Therefore, it is also very important to test their abilities in advance and popularize some basic knowledge.

Hermione sat on the captain's workbench, checked the test paper one last time, and narrowed her eyes with satisfaction.

Hannah and Luna's expressions were obviously much more painful. Hannah hadn't even finished writing the fill-in-the-blank questions on the first side - which covered a lot of mathematics and physics knowledge. Her specialty lies in biological content. In these questions, she is better than an ordinary second-grade wizard.

"I really don't understand, Sister Elena."

Luna watched the questions on her test paper run from one end to the other, and even began to play hide and seek with her along the parchment paper. She said angrily, "Why is my copy moving? Is it Valkyrie?" Will Ya Armor also move around on its own?!"

"Some models are designed this way, but your question itself is a test -"

Elena held a cup of hot tea, took a leisurely sip, and replied calmly.

"Don't use your eyes to see those random characters, you have to use your magic to see them. This is the way that suits you - Valkyrie is not a mass-produced broom or quill, they are based on each of you." Personal characteristics, tailor-made top-notch alchemical creations."

In fact, she lied.

The experimental models at Valkyria's research and development base are all built according to her magical properties.

However, using different connection methods will produce different effects... As for the Valkyrie armor tailored for the wings? At least they have to wait until they fly a few more times and collect the corresponding data before they can try to draw the corresponding design diagram.

The best thing is that after having Hermione, Luna, and Hannah, she finally doesn't have to complete these homeworks.

As the question maker and reviewer, she has to write some papers to consolidate her knowledge before each test flight. This is simply outrageous.

Since the original intention was to help the researchers collect data, Sanxiaozhi was obviously more suitable than her.

She calls it adapting to the actual situation, which is a very reasonable thing.

Well, scientific distribution is certainly not considered waste...
