Chapter 1402 The Conspiracy to Pay the Surface
In the auditorium, all eyes were on the new cardinal of the Holy See.
In this era, the power of the Roman Empire is rapidly weakening, but the momentum of the Holy See is growing day by day.
The world-famous East-West Church schism has not yet begun, and the British royal family has not initiated religious reforms to break away from the Pope's rule. The influence of the Holy See reached its peak during this period. Like other European countries and regions, the Pope of Rome is currently England. de facto regulator.
Most of the UK is owned by the Pope, and His Majesty the Pope can even depose the Muggle king or lord.
As far as the wizarding world is concerned, it is not like the Muggles where the Holy See has the final say.
However, the influence of the Holy See in the magic world cannot be ignored, because some members of the Holy See have inherited the magic civilization system of the Roman Empire. They have always claimed that they are the authentic magic. He worked hard and used many methods, even launching holy wars and later famous witch hunts. As the most famous and important gathering area for wizards in the world, the British magic community has always been the first among them.
In the eyes of the priests and monks of the Holy See, wizards are out-and-out heretics.
But in this era, the Vatican's attitude towards the magic world is not so extreme, but a kind of milder wooing and infiltrating influence, so the relationship between the two parties is not so sharp. the biggest force.
Their influence is very strong, in addition to their own priests and monks, they also recruited many wizards.
Therefore, although the relationship between the two parties is not very friendly, no one dares to ignore the visit of a cardinal, which is second only to the Pope in the Holy See. greet.
The only exceptions were Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor, who did not accept each other's greetings.
The appearance of Slytherin was originally intended to calm things down, try to avoid a possible dispute and turmoil, and maintain the stability of the magic world. He knew the conspiracy of the pure-blood wizard family, and also guessed Ravenclaw's plan. He originally wanted to mediate, but with the arrival of the cardinal, there was no possibility of ending everything.
Slytherin muttered something boring, glanced towards the door of the auditorium, and then disappeared from the spot.
It was as if he hadn't been there at all, and with Slytherin gone, the pressure in the air was visibly lessened.
Many wizards secretly breathed a sigh of relief, especially in the Slytherin house area.
Ai Wen felt that his body seemed to be a lot lighter. Around him, many students were whispering things like it was terrible.
Slytherin's domain magic and the pressure it brings are too obvious. The magic power he exudes controls the auditorium all the time. This is a crushing in terms of strength. Salazar Slytherin in this period has become recognized as the most powerful in the magic world. Are you strong? !
After Slytherin left, Gryffindor took the initiative to meet him and walked to the distinguished cardinal.
They talked a few words, but Ivan didn't hear clearly, Gryffindor seemed to be saying that the other party was not invited...
"Oh, yes, I haven't received an invitation to speak." The cardinal raised his voice and replied, "But I came to Hogwarts today following the guidance of the gods and the joint invitation of three respected wizards to come here Witness the truth!"
"Respected wizard?! How did I not know who invited you to Hogwarts?"
"It's us!" A lazy voice sounded, and a thin, pale wizard walked into the auditorium in a hurry.
With striking long blond hair, he walked through the crowd to the central platform, nodding to the cardinal on the platform.
Needless to say, he was definitely another Malfoy.
It could be the guy's father just now, and Ai Wen greeted him from the two boys.
Immediately afterwards, Clive Peverell saw Ivan near the entrance of the auditorium, and kept waving to Ivan, gesturing him to pass.
This guy probably regarded Ivan as Annie Black, and Ivan looked away from him.
From the surrounding discussions, he knew that the guy who just came in was the patriarch of the Malfoy family.
"You invited him? It's ridiculous, when did Hogwarts become the castle of the Malfoy family?!" Gryffindor said loudly.
"Not only the Malfoy family, but also the Peverell family and the Black family. This is a decision made by our three families."
"Hmph, decisions made by you stubborn, old-fashioned families of pure-blood wizards mean nothing at Hogwarts."
"What about the Council of Elders? Does Hogwarts obey the orders of the Council of Elders?" Malfoy asked, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he took out a thick roll of parchment from his pocket, "Actually, I just received Appointment, after receiving a report about the loss of Lady Ravenclaw's diadem, the Council of Elders discussed and decided to investigate the matter twenty minutes ago. They appointed me, Armand Marr Fu investigates this matter, do you need me to read the content of the appointment?"
"You were appointed by the Council of Elders?! It's a dastardly plot!" Gryffindor exclaimed, "It can't be so soon..."
"Please pay attention to your words, Gryffindor, otherwise, I will think you are challenging the authority of the elders." Armand Malfoy said slowly, "What do you want to question, this appointment and my Is it dramatic to appear suddenly?! To be honest, I was also very surprised after receiving the letter from my son and dear Clive this morning. The patriarch completed the meeting and assessed the situation. For the stability of the magic world, the three of us hoped to investigate this matter, and we jointly persuaded the elders to make an impromptu decision. How to say, like the three of us, all The Presbyterians who attended the impromptu meeting also seemed to agree that it was important whether Lady Ravenclaw's diadem was actually lost."
"Thank you for your concern!" Ravenclaw said calmly, "In this matter, the elders have shown amazing efficiency."
This sentence was undoubtedly ironic, and Armand Malfoy did not answer.
From the current point of view, they obviously acted on both sides at the same time, thinking of everything, it is really urgent!
One link after another, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, they did not intend to give Ravenclaw a chance at all.
"Wait, even if you're in charge of investigating this, what does that have to do with this ridiculous monk?" Gryffindor asked.
"I have to remind you again to pay attention to your words, Gryffindor, otherwise you will offend the Presbyterian Church and the Holy See at the same time, which will get Hogwarts into big trouble. It is true that you are talking like this at this time. It's not a rational act, although I never think you have any brains." Malfoy said, "Master Blakes is one of the twelve cardinals of the Holy See, and he is the most proficient in prophecy, we invite him to come , because I believed he would tell us the answer..."
