Chapter 972 The Name of the Demon King

Hufflepuff girls dormitory.

Elena and Hannah's exclusive luxurious bedroom.

A long story is finally coming to an end.

"...Yes, at this moment, billions of gold galleons are still sleeping under our feet..."

"... Peter Pettigrew is certainly not innocent, but he is not that capable of disturbing the magical world..."

"...Hogwarts provided potato aid to more than 10 million people in the former Soviet Union..."

"...The fusion of magic and non-magic is an unavoidable trend. To this end, we have gathered the world's top wizards and scholars..."

"Well... once you hear what I'm going to say next, there will be no room for retreat..."

Elena paused briefly for a few seconds and looked around at the other little witches in the room.

"If there is a leak, or a more serious situation... it can range from memory erasure to disappearance from the world -"

Hermione's amber eyes stared at her unblinkingly, "Just tell me."

Beside her, Luna, who was holding a unicorn doll, had the same look of anticipation.

As for the "koala" hanging on her body, it began to shake Elena's shoulders impatiently.

"——Stop showing off, Elena! You made a vow before. You said you would always accompany me. You clearly promised me before that you would tell me everything, and you asked me to accompany you as you please. Go down...you are now in the remedial stage of confession and leniency——"

"You seem to have told me something similar before? When you were sorting out the history of magic -"

Hermione raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced meaningfully at the Tiehanhan hanging on Elena's body.

"...Whether you are poor or rich, whether your circumstances are good or bad, in health or disease, success or failure - from now on until the end of time. I remember that you had already asked me once, right? I have always had Keep your promise, but you..."

"Horned Snorlax——"

Luna tightened the unicorn doll in her arms, stared at Elena seriously, and murmured softly.

"Well--"

Gulu.

Elena looked around, wishing she could give herself a mouthful.

If I had known she would have continued to tell the story, why did she insert a warning in the middle? !

Compared to Merlin who was drowned in the lake back then, if she doesn't handle it well now, her end may not be much better.

Fortunately, she still had something to distract Hermione, Hannah, and Luna.

"……alright, I got it."

Elena looked sideways at the little witches around her, took out a stack of tarot cards from her chest and placed them on the edge of the table.

"In the past two centuries or so, the magical world and the non-magical world have experienced two wars - two intra-world wars - and the dividends visible to the naked eye have been divided, whether it is the non-magical world or the magical world, It is difficult for both sides to start a third full-scale civil war. But human desires are endless, and the instinct to search for prey is a blood memory rooted in everyone's heart..."

"On the other hand, as time goes by, the barriers between the magical and non-magical worlds become weaker and weaker. When the information age completely arrives, sooner or later the so-called speed of information dissemination will make it impossible for the Forgetting Curse to continue to maintain secrets. Wizards and Muggles Time is running out for non-intervention.”

At this moment, Hermione's eyelids trembled suddenly, and she raised her head to look at Elena.

"Wizards and Muggles will go to war?!"

"Or more accurately, the war... never stops."

"Huh?" Luna frowned slightly and looked at Elena uneasily, "What does this mean?"

She couldn't understand why "war" broke out, but she knew that once the word appeared, many, many people would die.

"Resources. As for the continuation, it should be the buried history of magic in the Middle Ages, right?"

This time, it was Hannah who took the initiative to explain to Luna.

She glanced at Elena's expression and said slowly while searching for memories in her mind.

"I heard adults say in the pub that the International Statute of Secrecy of Wizards exists to prevent Muggles from spying on magic. Everyone hopes to use magic to solve problems. If Muggles are made aware that there are many wizards around them, , the world will be in chaos.”

"Yeah, there will definitely be chaos, won't it? And wizards will also need the convenience provided by Muggles."

Elena nodded in agreement, a sarcastic coldness flashed in her eyes, and she spoke softly.

"There is no complete industrial and agricultural system in the magical world, which means that most of the daily life of wizards will depend on the industrial and agricultural systems in the non-magical world. But the biggest problem is that magic may make many People have bad ideas..."

"So, you-"

"Well, we formed a secret organization hoping to make changes in the future."

Elena said happily, taking out her wand and tapping lightly on the stack of tarot cards in front of her.

"Dumbledore, Scamander, Nico Flamel, Professor Lockhart, well, of course Mr. Lovegood... and many, many wizards you may or may not know. While others are in the sun As we live in the shadows, we must fight for the world, doing our best to bridge the gap between the magical and non-magical worlds so that others can have a chance to live in a peaceful, orderly world."

"…But, what does this have to do with Tarot cards?"

Hermione looked confusedly at the tarot cards floating in the air.

"Did you see the future from the cards? Do they have any special revelations?"

Because she took the divination class as an elective, she habitually learned a lot about divination before class.

In her impression, special tools such as tarot cards and crystal balls are usually only used to predict the future.

"Well, they are the future-"

Elena blinked, wand wagging.

Following her movements, several main cards flew out one after another, floating quietly on a higher level.

"Nicholas Flamel (Wizard-01), Newt Scamander (03-Queen), Albus Dumbledore (Pope-04), Xenophilius Lovegood ( The Hermit-09), Gilderoy Lockhart (The Hanged Man-12), Otto Apocalypse (The Tower-16), and..."

"So, you are actually...the world?"

Hermione looked at the next tarot card that flew out with a strange expression.

【World-21】

The last card among the main tarot cards symbolizes the door to success and the ending and opening of the continuation of the old and the new.

This is in line with her understanding, after all, she is too familiar with Elena's stinky fart and narcissism.

She had been waiting for the card that belonged to Elena to appear from the beginning, and although it was a bit unexpected to jump directly to the end now, it looked like it matched up with the previous story from the list.

"No, this is not mine, this is Sir Nicholas's - well, that's the Sir in Gryffindor Tower."

Elena smiled and shook her head, admiring Hermione's surprised expression with contentment, and the wand in her hand made a small turn deftly.

"The above seven are currently all the core elders of the 'Tarot Society'. Of course, I also have my own main card. You can also call me Miss [Fool] in the future, but the premise is that you must join...as a reserve. Take three main cards..."

"Reserve? Hey, can we lock a main card directly?"

Luna asked in surprise, her eyes lingering on the [Hermit] for a moment.

She originally thought that her father might be a "laborer," but she didn't know that his father's status in the "organization" was so high.

"Well, but you can't own the main card yet, you just locked the position in advance..."

Elena nodded and said seriously.

"Any new main card or O5 member must go through a vote of at least 90% of the original 'Tarot Society' members before joining. After all, this is not just a good-sounding job. The title also symbolizes the power to mobilize resources that ordinary people cannot imagine, but you are obviously not ready now, both in terms of ability and heart."

"As for each of you's main card, I have thought about it a long time ago..."

Elena waved her wand again.

The three tarot cards that were not selected easily fell into the hands of Luna, Hannah, and Hermione.

"Priestess (02), Chariot (07), Justice (11) - this is the main tarot deck I have prepared for you. As for the true meaning of each of them, and what they may play out in the future It’s up to you to tell me the effect.”

"Okay, the story and cards have been explained and distributed."

Elena glanced at the little wings with different colors and clapped her hands happily.

"Since you have not passed the vote, you do not have any special rights for the time being. The only benefit is that you can have intelligence authority equivalent to your own cards, but this is temporarily exercised through my authority... If you follow Professor Dumbledore and the others In other words, you should be considered a 'fool' now, right?"

"But that's not important. Let's go to the bathroom to wash ourselves off now. If you still have any questions, you can ask them slowly..."

Just as Elena expected, this stormy impact on the worldview was too exciting.

Even Hermione, the more precocious of the three, looked a little confused after getting the card.

This is not their usual fun and play together, nor is it just a disciplinary committee limited to the castle.

From the undercurrent stories Elena had described previously about the undercurrents behind the world, they clearly felt the weight of this card. It was the power that could dominate the world, and even Professor Dumbledore was just one of them.

The more important point is...

"Elena, I have a little question..."

Luna rubbed the priestess card in her hand and asked softly in an erratic tone.

"Professor Apokalis, he is not actually Mr. Paracelsus, is he?"

"Well, of course not-"

This time, Elena answered readily without any hesitation.

"Didn't I tell you before? Grandpa's name appears on the Chocolate Frog card, just on Professor Dumbledore's card. Compared to the name Otto Apocalypse, which only appeared less than a year ago , he also has another more famous name."

Elena paused and said quite proudly.

"Gellert Grindelwald."

"Yes, if you don't mind..."

"In fact, you can call me - the future... third generation Dark Lord."
