The Blood Curse at Hogwarts

Chen Bin didn't expect that Hermione's thoughts were much more detailed than those of her peers, and she could even think of seven girlfriends.Obviously, some Chinese twists and turns are not suitable for translation into English, and the rules for changing plural nouns will give clues.

Katerina shook her head and said: "It's not that complicated. Xiao Ming may have written seven letters but only sent one, or he may have put seven letters in one envelope."

Hermione, Harry and Ron: ""

"Smart." Chen Bin snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Kate's answer makes full use of all the hints in the question, so it can be regarded as the real answer. Harry and Ron's answers cannot be excluded, because we There is no further evidence to prove that this possibility will not happen. However, Hermione, you can't even provide an answer. You can only deny the possibility. How can you investigate the case?"

"How can you say that?" Hermione stamped her feet angrily: "There are multiple answers to your question. How can we guess that you can also choose other answers?"

"Okay, suppose I just wrote the answer on paper and asked you to answer it. Can you come up with Kate's answer?"

As soon as Chen Bin said these words, the three of them fell silent, leaving only Kate with an expression of "please come and praise me."

"Do you understand? When there is only one truth left, you still eliminated the answer that best fits the puzzle." Chen Bin suddenly turned to look at Katerina, waved his hand and said: "Your answer is only the closest to the truth."

"What?" Katerina was confused and asked: "What is the real answer?"

Under the serious gazes of the four people, Chen Bin raised his hands and surrendered: "Okay, real criminal investigation requires evidence, such as eyewitness testimony, environmental evidence, handwriting identification, mailing certificate, scientific forensics, that is, fingerprints, ink composition, letter paper Fracture comparisons, etc. The most important thing is that no matter whether witness, physical evidence or scientific evidence, there will be times when they lie, and it does not rule out that the evidence is misleading the entire investigation. Therefore, even impeccable evidence may point to the direction intended by the murderer. , not all cases can find real answers. Therefore, both the Aurors and the police only find the most detailed evidence to eliminate all possibilities supported by evidence, and then match the most suspect based on the existing evidence. People. Sometimes there is insufficient evidence even to prosecute. Even if the evidence is sufficient, it depends on the court's decision, but only the murderer can always know the truth. If the three of you continue to investigate like this, you will always get an answer within the scope of reasoning. Who There’s no guarantee it’s the truth.”

Kate fell silent after hearing this, but Hermione became more and more unconvinced.

"When all doubts are eliminated, no matter how illogical the only answer left is, it is also the only truth that can be found." Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Bin said he had something to do and slipped away.

As soon as he left, Kate walked next door to the event.

"Hermione, do you want to continue investigating?" Ron said a little depressed.

"Of course we have to investigate." Hermione's eyes lit up with fire and she said with high spirits: "I want to prove his theory is wrong."

Harry was helpless. "Aren't you going to prove my innocence?"

"This is also one of the purposes." Hermione made up for it, and then pulled the two of them to another activity room.

Chen Bin did not return to the dormitory immediately. Instead, he went to the library to borrow a few books and then came back to read and enchant them. This was all because Ron had just mentioned Merlin's beard.

In the British wizarding world, people don't say oh my god when they are surprised, nor do they say holy shit when they are angry. Instead, they say exclamations such as Merlin's clothes or beard, and many common Muggle expressions also have magical versions.

For example, there are idioms in English such as "fell off the back of a lorry", which literally means "fall off the truck", but actually refers to illegal theft of goods, and its magic version is called "fall off a broomstick" fell off the back of a broom.

You don’t need to think too much. The idioms that are so close to Muggle terms are naturally popularized in the wizarding world by wizards who were born in the Muggle world.

Chen Bin was not too idle to study the origin of idioms. He was intrigued by the name Mei Lin.

In his previous life, he had read a reading comprehension question about the legend of King Arthur on an English test paper. The general idea was that King Arthur was a fictional character. After twisting the folk songs and legends of the past generations, he combined the characteristics of multiple historical prototypes, and even Even the background of his existence cannot be tested.

However, the fictional background of the story is roughly the fifth century AD in Ireland. Arthur is the illegitimate son of the king and the duke's wife. He was raised by the wizard Merlin after he was born.Later, the kingdom fell into war, and Merlin instructed the Knights of the Round Table that as long as someone pulls out the sword in the stone in London, he will be the new king of England.

Countless knights rushed to draw their swords, but to no avail. Until one time, the knight who was protecting Arthur went to London to watch a tournament. His hands were so itchy that he found that he didn't even have a sword with him, so he ordered Arthur to get a sword for him.

Arthur happened to see a sword embedded in the stone. After easily pulling it out, his cheating life began.

He led the Knights of the Round Table to fight east and west, and also successively killed Finn McCue's hounds, hunted ferocious boars, and killed giants, wizards, monsters and other creatures beyond common sense.shubada.shubada.

Chen Bin didn't really look up the source of King Arthur. In short, the reading question tortured him to death. How could a normal student memorize the words boar, giant, wizard, etc.

That article briefly explained how King Arthur cheated to unify the British Isles and then invaded Western Europe. It also included the magician Merlin as an adviser, the Round Table Conference system, loyalty and betrayal, the spiritually cheating queen, and the sword in the stone due to wavering faith. Breaking, the Banshee of the Lake giving the King the sword, etc., and finally ending with Bedivere throwing the sword into the lake, hinting at the ending of the King's resignation.

As a Chinese, wouldn’t you be devastated after reading this article? Aren’t you deeply impressed?

no obstacles

Okay, please answer the first question below: Why did Bedivere make up his mind to throw the King's Sword into the middle of the lake after turning back twice?

Well, even if Chen Bin understood everything, he still couldn't answer these ten super nonsense multiple-choice questions. He could only curse the teacher who gave the test in his heart for his bad taste.

Legends are legends. As a liberal arts student, you will not believe that King Arthur once counterattacked the European continent and even defeated the Roman Empire.There are still sporadic ruins of Rome. Although it may not be as powerful as Europe boasts, it still existed after all, right?

The historical Kingdom of England was founded in 927, and the Western Roman Empire was declared over in 476. Should King Arthur stage Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong? Why not make up an Ultraman vs. Zhang Wuji to see if the Great Shift of the Universe can remove the cross rays?

In the future study, Chen Bin was full of shadows about the names King Arthur and Merlin. He still remembered that their original characters were introduced on the English channel. For example, Arthur was mainly based on two real characters, one was called "Mir". Another bard named "Ding" was "Ambrose Aureliano", the military general of the province of Britannia in the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD.

No matter how deep he went, Chen Bin almost forgot about it. He was studying on his own while listening to this TV show.

Today, he finally had some free time. While enchanting without thinking, he checked the version of the magical world to see who the two men who brought him shadow were.

Chen Bin spent three hours reading two documents that looked like biographies and novels, and finally determined that King Arthur and Merlin in this world might also be fictional characters made up of bits and pieces.

Merlin was born sometime during the Middle Ages.Well, there's nothing wrong with this paragraph. Which fairy tale doesn't start with "A long time ago"?

Then Merlin was admitted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was assigned to Slytherin House. When Chen Bin saw this chapter, he almost spat out blood. Are you sure this book was not written by Rita Skeeter?

After quickly flipping through several books, Merlin's life story was pretty much the same.Wasn't King Arthur's background in the 5th century in his previous life? Hogwarts was founded around AD 990, more than half a century later than the establishment of the Kingdom of England, and there was also a Kingdom of Scotland in the north of England at that time.

From the timeline analysis, this school should be called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Kingdom of Scotland. You must know that even the province of Britannia in the Roman era did not include the Scottish Highlands.

The Kingdom of Scotland already existed before Hogwarts was founded. It was not until 1603 that it was nominally dominated by the English royal family, and was finally merged and annexed by the Kingdom of England in 1701.

That is to say, until the Witch Hunt War ended and the International Statute of Secrecy came into effect, the historical United Kingdom of Great Britain had not yet been established.When Hogwarts was founded, Scotland and England were two kingdoms that did not belong to each other. Young wizards from England were still foreigners from the perspective of Hogwarts.

Well, Chen Bin is not a real scholar. The magic books here say that Merlin's nationality is Britain, and it does not indicate whether it is England, Scotland or Wales.

The magic world also needs to talk about harmony, Chen Bin understands.

However, many shortcomings were exposed by Chen Bin

Sometime after graduation, Merlin became a member of King Arthur's court, assisting him in becoming a wise king and becoming friends with the Knights of the Round Table.He believed that wizards should help Muggles to live in peace.

To this end, he founded the Order of Merlin to advocate for Muggle rights, and it was he who drafted the regulations prohibiting the use of magic on Muggles.

His achievements are also very impressive. He is very proficient in magic. He is deified by later generations as the most powerful wizard in history. He has rich magic experience and knowledge reserves, and is even called the "Prince of Magic".

In addition, he also has many auras. For example, some academic works believe that he invented the "Disarming Curse", and another theory is that he was a witch in the 14th century.

In short, some time after his death, the Wizengamot established an honor system in the name of the Order of Merlin to reward wizards who had sacrificed themselves and contributed to the development of wizard society.

However, for such a famous person, no wizard has ever discovered his tomb, and no one has ever discovered the tomb of King Arthur.
