Chapter 18

During the transition from summer to autumn in 1986, two incidents of insanity occurred in the British wizarding world one after another.

The first happened at the Ministry of Magic, involving Glenn Crabbe, whom wizards called 'The Barking Dog' behind their backs.

This doggy, tough, outspoken guy often plays the role of the official spokesperson of the Ministry of Magic.

And this day, at an official press conference that should have been a tribute, the man blatantly slammed his boss and the powerful wizards behind the scenes.

Especially during the reporter's questioning session, there was really nothing to dare to say, and he revealed many dirty transactions he knew, such as power-for-money transactions, power-for-sex transactions, and even perverted transactions such as wives and prostitutes. .

This guy has always been very clear-headed, but he just didn't want to be stimulated. As soon as the reporter teased him with words, he started to talk endlessly, and he was like a madman. The more stimulated, the better his performance.

He seemed to suddenly take everything lightly, even if he was killed by the unforgivable curse by the exasperated sufferer when he went out.

It's just such a completely enlightened mentality that there is nothing that cannot be said in public.

In the process of answering reporters' questions, he used a catchphrase: What's the matter? Who doesn't know who's that? Carrying a small piece of fig leaf, what kind of serious person do you pretend to be?

He not only spouts, he also provides evidence. Those evidences should be that once he fell into the trap, he would resort to killing and killing to blackmail his boss and certain people, so as to protect himself. Now he took it out like that to prove that what he said was the truth, not framed or slandered.

This matter naturally became a big deal, and several departments of the British Ministry of Magic stopped operating for a period of time. The International Federation of Magic, as well as people with sufficient authority like Dumbledore, stepped in to deal with large and small cases. More than thirty cases.

The subsequent hearings were even more one after another. More than a dozen wizards and dignitaries were deeply involved in the incident, and their reputations were discredited. It was called the carpet door incident.

And during the trial process of this incident, brainless spouting similar to Glenn Crabbe was staged again.

This time at the Wizengamot public trial.

The Wizengamot is the highest court in the wizarding world. It consists of about fifty wizards. The highest official is called the chief wizard. The special clothing is a fuchsia robe with a delicate W embroidered on the left chest.

The specific method of interrogation and judgment is that the interrogator asks questions, the clerk is responsible for recording, and finally the judgment is made by a show of hands.

A court of this level can try wizards, including its members, who have great prestige, power and wealth in the wizarding world.

And the person who spouted this time was Carlisle, the head of the Avery family.

The Avery family is also one of the 28 existing pure-blood wizard families in the UK. Carlisle's father is a well-known Death Eater and has followed Voldemort since school days.

Carlisle was Snape's classmate and friend.

This time, Carlisle focused on how the Avery family hedged their bets during the Wizarding War, and mercilessly accused Voldemort of his crazy behavior in the later period of the Wizarding War, and proposed for the first time that Voldemort is likely to be It became like that because of making Horcruxes.

Horace Slughorn is not the only one who knows about Horcruxes. Tom Riddle can find some clues from the restricted area of ​​Hogwarts, which is enough to show that this thing is very important for wizards who have reached a certain level. , is already a semi-open secret.

It costs too much, has great side effects, is difficult to operate, and is dangerous, so unless the desire for longevity reaches a level of madness that is difficult for ordinary people, no one will tinker with it.

Just like a certain wizard said: In order to live forever, you will die early, and you will lose yourself in order to live forever. You have to be good at calculating to do this.

Naturally, Carlisle not only scolded Voldemort and criticized his own family, but also slandered other pure-blood wizard families, including the Shafik family.

Of course, the Shafiq family has nothing to judge. Carlisle basically scolds Stanley for being a fool. Wealth and more.

As for other Death Eater families, it was not so calm. Like the Malfoy family, some shady scenes were revealed, including Lucius' regular participation in sex feasts organized by a secret vampire family.

For pure-blood wizards, this kind of gathering is not as simple as a life of corruption and indulgence, but to save seeds, illegitimate children, and use them to support the family in times of crisis, so people are chaotic and orderly, after all, at least they have to understand his father Whoever it is makes sense.

In fact, this kind of gameplay has been around for a long time, and even the guardians of pure-blood families are often born from this type of people. They have never revealed their true identities in public, and often enter the wizarding world as mudbloods.

In addition, there are not only guardians, but also inheritors, or code bearers, who carry family secret codes and pass on knowledge, and are used for the revival of the family after it is completely destroyed.

Therefore, many ancient pure-blood families seem to have disappeared, but in fact they have changed their appearance and continue to exist in other places.

These ancient families discovered the secret of wizard blood inheritance long ago. According to their research, the origin of wizards is the same as the origin of blood races. There are only a few sources, and they can even be traced back to a certain individual.

Therefore, those mudbloods of later generations, if we really want to trace their roots, they are also from the same source. It's just that their bloodlines are thin, and awakening bloodlines often requires a generational or even a large generational gap.

Conversely, pure blood wizards have the highest probability of maintaining and inheriting their blood.

Kane agrees that this theory is correct. The wizards in this world are actually the warlocks in the DND multiverse he is familiar with. What they eat is the bowl of blood, and there must be a certain existence at the source that is a magical creature. It was papa, and the foreshadowing of magic was planted. There is always a different cause, and then there is a miraculous effect later.

Carlisle revealed all of these. Anyway, he just asked ten questions and answered ten questions. He was super kind. He even told the embarrassing thing about his mother having an affair with someone without hesitation. ? Is your home clean? One by one is either radical or green, who doesn't know who?

Well, this kind of unscrupulous, disregarding etiquette, dare to talk about anything in public, everyone really can't stand it, Dumbledore was sprayed, Carlisle scolded him Old Glass, and asked him if he would go to A Zkaban and Grindelwald? If you don't get married for a lifetime, don't you just miss this?

While Carlisle is putting out tons of damage, he doesn't have as much solid material as Glenn Crabbe. This may be because of the different jobs they are engaged in, and the wizards and dignitaries are also cunning enough, and the same kind are also extremely wary, and rarely reveal their secrets to others.

Without dry goods, Carlisle just has a good mouth.

Of course, it is inevitable that the reputation of those wizards and dignitaries who have been sprayed will be damaged again. After all, after experiencing the Carpet Door incident, people have believed that what they say without caring is basically the truth.

After Carlisle, people finally realized that this kind of madness was not accidental, either some kind of infectious disease, or some kind of special potion or magic was used.

Then someone really found out, powerful veritaserum, sold by the Chamber of Commerce of the Shafik family, it is said that it was invented by the seven-year-old Kane Shafik this year, but someone proposed to do a special interview, and Catherine said Kane refused on the grounds of his frail health.

Therefore, it is generally believed that the inventor was someone else, and Catherine spent money to buy patents to gild her own son to create publicity. where?

Later, another master of potions proved that this medicine is not particularly magical. Its principle is similar to the sedatives used by Muggles, which makes people feel very relaxed and indifferent.

In any case, the Chamber of Commerce established by Catherine called the Magic Eye became popular with this potion whose formula is completely different from the veritaserum that exists in this world...
