Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 374 374. Scott's Final Decision

Ravenclaw has been dead for thousands of years.

A strand of consciousness she had deliberately left behind in order to meet her daughter also fell into a deep sleep for a thousand years.

Her portrait certainly doesn't know what the Union of Scholars was founded more than 500 years ago.

After listening to Scott's narration, Ravenclaw in the painting said: "You can join them."

She looked at Scott who was standing in front of the portrait with a look of surprise on his face, and smiled slightly.

"Because of the prophecy, because of Medea who is staring at you and Salazar who is hiding behind you, you need to grow up as soon as possible. You don't have time to carefully weigh the pros and cons, child. As long as it is beneficial to improve your strength, you There is no need to refuse."

Scott nodded in agreement.

Now he really doesn't have much room to pick and choose.

Although it is reasonable to say that he is safe until graduation, but two years is not a long time, and it will pass soon.

He must seize all the time against the clock, and not waste any opportunity to improve his strength.

"I know you well, my apprentice." Ravenclaw in the painting said again, "You are not interested in anything other than magic itself. You have no desire to be a leader. Power is trouble to you. So I'm not worried that you'll be drawn into the minds of those people."

"You're right," Scott said with a smile.

At this moment, he decided to accept Graplan's invitation to join the Scholar's Union, the purpose of which was of course to use the credits to win the wool.

As for how the credits come from?
Scott glanced at the door of the inner room. There is a lot of knowledge that can be exchanged for credits in Helena's study outside the door.

Although much of the knowledge recorded in the books stored in this study is no longer applicable to modern times, for the League of Scholars whose original intention is to revive ancient magic, these can be exchanged for points.

Graplan also said that as long as it is knowledge that has not been included in [Knowledge Bank], it is fine.

And Scott has no doubts about the richness of knowledge contained in the collection of books prepared by Ravenclaw for Helena.

Even though this is the plan, Scott can't make his own decisions. He has to tell the portrait of Ravenclaw and the owner of the study, Helena, and ask for their consent.

As Scott expected, Ravenclaw in the painting agreed to his request, and both Helena in the painting and Helena in the ghost agreed.

Because they all know that the magic knowledge that was thousands of years ago can be said to be outdated.

For today's wizards, those books don't have much other functions except to broaden their knowledge.

Scott is also well aware of this, so he didn't study this knowledge in depth.

It's not that he hasn't tried to learn some ancient magic. It was only after trying that he realized that although those spells were more powerful than those in the modern magic system, they couldn't keep up with the fast-paced fighting style of modern magic.

In addition, the way those spells spent mana in the past was much more extensive than modern spells.

In short, ancient magic is not superior to modern magic.

Simplicity, speed, refinement, and moderation are all advantages of the modern magic system, and Scott is more comfortable with this style.

That night, when Scott returned to the dormitory, he was questioned by his roommates. They all wanted to know how Dumbledore evaluated the so-called alliance of scholars.

Scott simply repeated Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick's evaluation of the Scholars Union.

After hearing this, Eddie was a little surprised and said, "So although the Scholar's Union is not that good, it's not that bad either?"

Roger patted Eddie on the shoulder, "In any case, this is a magic association that has been established for more than 500 years, and even Nicolas Flamel, the master alchemist, was a member of it, and we are not qualified to be invited by them. "

"Okay." Eddie shrugged. "I'm interested in the so-called [knowledge bank], if we have technology like that..."

Having said that, his eyes lit up.

"Then we can form an Internet in the magic world, and become a media tycoon in the magic world with ease!"

Roger nodded approvingly.

The two went off topic while talking.

"Scott!" Eddie rushed over to hold Scott's hand, staring at him closely with hopeful eyes, "Please be sure to exchange the knowledge of the magic Internet!"

"Do you think it's possible?" Scott quickly pulled out his hand, and said angrily, "Wizards who have this kind of knowledge may not exchange their knowledge to [Knowledge Bank], even if there is such knowledge in [Knowledge Bank] , I will not have any credits that can be redeemed."

"Okay." Eddie also knew that it was impossible, so he walked back to his bed and sat down in dejection.

"Scott, do you really want to join them?" Milton asked with some concern.

Scott nodded, "Join."

Milton opened his mouth and finally said, "Be careful."

Scott smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, I'm here for [Knowledge Bank], not because of you."

"It's fine if that's the case." Milton smiled.

Scott added: "It would be better if you can take care of your business by the way."

Milton shook his head quickly, "Didn't you say that you have to exchange credits for everything you want, and the credits need to be exchanged for knowledge that they don't have. This is too precious, and I can't let you use the credits on me."

"Didn't I say that?" Scott laughed again, "Miss Graplan said that as long as I agree to join the Scholars Union, she is willing to give credits to fulfill your wish of exchanging talent with Caccini."

"She really said that?" Milton stood up after hearing the words.

Scott nodded affirmatively.

At this time, Roger walked up to Milton and patted him on the shoulder, "So, Milton's musical talent is coming back soon?"

"Oh!" Eddie also walked over and looked at Milton with a smile, "That's great, Milton, but I have to say, I hope your overly sensitive character doesn't come back together."

Both were happy for Milton.

"No." Milton shook his head, "That's not what I meant."

He said to Scott: "According to Miss Graplan, credits are extremely precious. Why is she willing to pay such a price to win you over? There must be some reason we don't know!"

He walked up to Scott and looked at him seriously.

"I think you'd better be more cautious, Scott."

"Don't worry." Scott said, "Perhaps it doesn't take many credits to fulfill your and Caccini's wishes."

But Milton didn't believe this statement. He was afraid that Scott would get into trouble because of his affairs, so he said a lot of words uncharacteristically and persuaded Scott for a long time.

In fact, Scott really didn't agree to join the Scholars Union because of Milton.

Because of the threat of the prophecy, he needed to improve his strength as soon as possible, and decided to join after carefully weighing the pros and cons.

Milton didn't know about the prophecy. He believed that part of the reason why Scott joined the Scholars Union was because of him. Scott couldn't explain it clearly for a while, and he was quite dumbfounded.

Although the decision was made within a day, Scott still planned to wait until next week's Protection of Magical Creatures class before telling Graplan about his decision as agreed.

He didn't want the other party to think that he was attracted by the League of Scholars, and even eager to join.

On Saturday morning, because there was a Quidditch match for the Ravenclaw college team, Roger, the team captain, and Eddie, an intelligence officer, got up early to get ready.

Until the long breakfast table, Roger and the team members were still discussing tactics.

They also challenged each other with the opponents of this game, the players of the Gryffindor College team.

Not long after, the newspaper delivered by the owl broke the cheerful atmosphere in the auditorium.

"Terrorist attacks!High-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic were attacked! "

The huge black headline on the "Daily Prophet" attracted everyone's attention, making the lively auditorium instantly quiet.

Everyone who got the newspaper couldn't wait to start reading it.

This kind of silence didn't last long, and soon, exclamations sounded one after another.

"The person who was attacked was Mr. Barty Crouch, the director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department!"

"He was attacked in the Quidditch World Cup stadium built by the Ministry of Magic, and he went to inspect the construction work on the stadium!"

"Luckily there was a team of Aurors stationed there and they rescued him just in time!"

"But the dark wizard who attacked Mr. Crouch quickly used Apparition to escape, and the Aurors didn't catch him."

Scott also held a newspaper in his hand.

There are no photos accompanying this report, and no one at the scene took photos.

Mr. Crouch was suddenly attacked yesterday afternoon at the World Cup venue built by the Ministry of Magic. The attacker was a wizard of unknown origin, wearing a black robe and a mask.

"Black robes and masks, are they Death Eaters?" Eddie said to Scott.

Scott understood what he meant.

In the footage they secretly photographed in Little Hangleton Village, the group of Death Eaters were dressed in black robes and masks.

"Who knows." Scott put down the newspaper in his hand.

He also suspected that it was his son who attacked Crouch.

But doubt without evidence is doubt.

Given the current chaotic state of the Ministry of Magic, the possibility of such a case being solved is very low.

I don't know what happened to Voldemort.

Scott thought.

Under Medea's aggressiveness, the Dark Lord should find a way to recover his strength as soon as possible.

If he wants to use Harry's blood to resurrect as in the "original book", he must lurk and wait patiently for opportunities. Scott doesn't know if the current Dark Lord has such patience.

Maybe he couldn't wait any longer?
The bones of the father, the flesh of the servant, the blood of the enemy.

These are the three materials used in Voldemort's complete resurrection in the "Original Book".

But speaking of it, Harry wasn't the only enemy.
