Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

They are all the kind of golden horses, not for the rune horses raised by Beauxbaton that Aiwen once saw, but the real flying horses. They have wings, the whole body is golden, and their eyes are not so red. Be prettier.

What attracted more attention was the carriage itself, and Ivan found that it was emitting white light.

Even if it is daytime now, this kind of light is very obvious, but it is not dazzling, but a very soft light.

The carriage was parked right above the hanging window, and it could be clearly seen in its entirety.

There is also the emblem on the carriage. On one side is the head of a very old man with a solemn and solemn expression, wearing a triple crown, and on the other side are inlaid with two intersecting keys. This is the key of St. Peter, Rome Holy See symbol.

"Looks like we've got a new guest!" said Hufflepuff. "It's the Holy See's carriage!"

"A cardinal."

"Nobody really dares to come to Hogwarts now!" Slytherin snorted again, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Perhaps we need a cross and a pile of firewood to welcome the Bishop."

"Maybe this is an opportunity. We should have a good talk with the bishop and ask him to go back and persuade the majesty to stop the persecution of wizards. All the trials they initiated did not kill a real wizard. Innocent Muggle civilians." Hufflepuff shook his head and said, "To be honest, I really don't understand, they are all using magic..."

"It's useless, they didn't admit that they used magic, but inherited the magic and prophecy of the Roman Empire." Gryffindor said, "Besides, you don't think they really want to kill wizards, do you? Those lunatics are just looking for an excuse to spread their beliefs, and now even the Presbyterian Church doesn’t care about it, I heard that they seem to have reached an agreement with the Holy See.”

"What do we do now? Do we drive this guy out or let him in?"

"Can't let him go, he sees what we do, at least he should revise his memory." Gryffindor said quickly, "If he isn't an idiot like those guys, it should be very clear that Salazar What does the magic you just used mean?"

"Cancel your magic, Salazar, since a cardinal has come to Hogwarts, it won't take long for this to spread throughout the wizarding world. You know, and Godric is right, we can't let the secret out," said Ravenclaw, taking a decision.

Slytherin didn't say anything, he swung his wand sharply, and the black mist dissipated and disappeared.

Everyone recovered, and the auditorium suddenly became lively, and the noise was deafening.

Many wizards were yelling and attacking with magic indiscriminately, continuing the battle just now.

"What just happened?"

"I seem to see a cloud of black mist, maybe my eyes are dazzled." Nick rubbed his eyes vigorously.

The conversation between him and Weasley reached Ivan's ears, and Ivan realized that they didn't seem to feel the time suspended in the black mist, and didn't realize that they were suspended for a while. Only those really powerful wizards can feel it arrive.

These wizards all stopped and looked at Salazar Slytherin who appeared on the high platform with lingering fear.

When others also saw the four founders standing on the high platform and the carriage outside the window, the fight gradually subsided.

Instead, the noise turned out to be more and more thoughtful, each wanting to tell everyone else what they found.

The original chaotic situation was gradually brought under control, and Ivan was still sitting in the area of ​​Gryffindor College. Like the discussions around him, he was also thinking about the conversation of the four founders. It was more complicated than he imagined.

In later generations, the strength of the Holy See has declined, unlike this era.

But Ivan still clearly remembers the scene he saw when he passed the sky over Rome in a flying carriage with Hagrid, Sirius, and Madam Maxim in his third grade. An image that cannot be forgotten.

Sirius said it was the effect of a holy relic treasured by the Holy See, which had lasted for more than 1000 years.

Aiwen didn't know what the holy object was, and he didn't find it in the book when he came back.

He only knew that it was the clearest time he felt the power of magic in his life...

Chapter 1331 Visiting the Bishop of Hogwarts

There are many theories about the source of magic, and there are different opinions, which have always been the focus of debate in the academic circles.

Among them, it is said that because of human beings' worship of nature, demons, gods, and elves, some of them are gifted, that is, later wizards comprehend or learn magic from them.There are also those magical creatures with powerful magical powers who mate with humans, and some of their offspring become centaurs, mermaids, goblins or house elves, and some inherit better genetics, which not only maintain human form, but also acquire the ability to use magic.

This part of the special descendants is considered to be the origin of pure-blood wizards. This theory is currently widely adopted by the magic world, because it can prove that pure-blood wizards are special, different from ordinary Muggles, and can Explain why the emblems of many pure-blood wizarding houses are animals.

Because the animal patterns appearing on these family emblems are not ordinary creatures, but the ancestors of the pure-blood wizard family.

There are many in it, all of which are powerful creatures with names and surnames that only exist in legends.

The older and more noble the pure-blood wizard family, the more common this phenomenon is.

In addition, there is a more logical origin theory, but it has not been recognized by wizards.

At least emotionally, not many wizards can accept this statement.

That is, the current magic system was inherited from the ancient warlocks of the previous era, which sounds reasonable and logical.

The ancient ruins discovered in recent years can also prove this point, and there are very classic examples.

For example, despicable Hai Erbo.

It was the black wizard who researched the basilisk, the Horcrux, and thousands of curses. He may have turned himself into an evil god later on. As the most famous black wizard in history, this guy is the founder of the modern black magic theory system .

At the same time, he is also the last known ancient warlock.

This famous case proves the origin of magic to a great extent, but there is a problem here, which is the main reason why wizards are generally unwilling to accept this statement, and that is that magic and spellcasters during the Roman Empire were considered to be The orthodox heir of ancient warlocks.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, the East and West Holy See fought for more than a year to be the heir to magic in the Roman Empire. jihad and witch hunts to defend their orthodoxy.

As Gryffindor said, they didn't know that doing so would not harm real wizards, but their approach achieved their original purpose, which was to deprive wizards of their right to inherit the magical civilization of the Roman Empire.

For most of history, the reason for the confrontation between wizards and the Holy See mainly came from this.

The behavior of the Holy See is very successful. They have defended their orthodoxy. Even now, no wizard will think that they have the same origin as the magic of the Holy See. Wizards will not accept it emotionally and would rather believe them. The magical abilities of the gods come from those powerful magical creatures.

Although everyone is using magic, but the origin is different, one is divine art, the other is heresy.

Of course, by the time of the later generation Aiwen, no one didn't pay attention to this thing.

Members of the Holy See who can use magic, like wizards, cannot hide, or have formed a strict system to manage all of this, keep secrets, and give up most of the world to Muggles, and those magical creatures are also very Low-key, only live in a specific protected area.

But now or more than 1000 years ago, the situation is completely different. Both the Holy See and the wizards are very active...

Although the current situation is not as tense as it was during the subsequent witch hunts, under such circumstances, a cardinal from the Holy See dared to openly visit Hogwarts. It can be seen that the power of the Holy See is very strong, and the magic world is weak compared with them...

"Which big man owns that carriage outside? Is it the Peverell family? Clive is always bragging about how rich his family is."

"Don't be stupid, haven't you seen those flying horses?! Only the Holy See has them, and pure-blood wizard families can't afford them."

"Really? I'm Catholic, and so are my father and mother..."

"Don't say this in school, you are a wizard now, those believers are Muggles."

A few minutes later, an old man in a white robe and a red cloak slowly walked into the auditorium of Hogwarts Castle amid such discussions, holding a very long scepter in his hand , the top is in the shape of a cross.

The old man had a smile on his face. He should be the cardinal. Aiwen obviously felt that the atmosphere became tense. No one welcomed his arrival, and no one even stood up. Everyone sat on the chair. .

It was completely different from the atmosphere just now, almost all wizards were staring at the bishop.

Their eyes were filled with fear, curiosity and unreserved hostility. Some wizards even pointed their wands at him.

But he didn't seem to notice these, and he wasn't affected by the substantial magical pressure in the air at all.

He walked to the high platform slowly, like an ordinary Muggle old man, and greeted the four founders, those senior wizards and some important figures of the pure-blood wizard family friendly, as if they were very familiar with each other.

Ivan stared at him for a while, then turned his head to look for the guy from the Malfoy family in the crowd.

He didn't find the other party, and he didn't know where he was hiding, what his expression looked like now.

Although there were many changes in the middle, his plot succeeded, as long as the bishop proves that Ravenclaw's diadem is fake...

Aiwen has to admit that he thought this conspiracy was a bit simple before.

Ravenclaw's diadem is important, has become a symbol of wisdom, and if it proves lost, especially if it is proved to be stolen by her daughter, it will indeed be a complete scandal. The effect of the Winclaw family prevented that bill from being passed.

However, if we want to reshuffle the current strength of the magic world, it seems that the weight is not enough.

But if the power of the Holy See is involved, then this is not just a matter of Hogwarts and the wizarding world!

The Malfoy family, which was able to contact the Holy See, seemed to have more complicated plans.

Also, the unstable interior of Hogwarts.

Gryffindor just said that Salazar Slytherin's magic is not suitable for the bishop to see. What is the reason for this?The situation seems to be getting more and more troublesome!

Chapter 1332

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. 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 crushing in terms of strength. Salazar Slytherin in this period has become a recognized magician. The strongest? !

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 Anne 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, following reports of the loss of Lady Ravenclaw's diadem, the Council of Elders discussed and decided to investigate the matter 10 minutes ago. They appointed me, Armand Malfoy is investigating this matter, do I need to read through 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 that you are challenging the authority of the elders." Armand Malfoy said slowly, "What do you want to question? Is the sudden appearance very dramatic?! To be honest, I was very surprised when I received the letter from my son and dear Clive this morning. The patriarch of the family completed the meeting and assessed the situation. For the stability of the magic world, the three of us hoped to investigate this matter, and jointly persuaded the elders to make an impromptu decision. How to say, the same as the three of us, All the Presbyterians at the impromptu meeting also seemed to agree that it was important whether or not 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 believe he will tell us the answer..."

Chapter 1333 Crown and Holy Light

"After being appointed by the Presbyterian Council, we sent someone to seek help from the Holy See." Malfoy turned to the people in the auditorium, raised his voice and continued, "Everyone here is a leader in the magic world, a powerful wizard, As you may all know, Ms. Ravenclaw's crown symbolizes wisdom. It can increase the wearer's wisdom and enhance the ability to sense magic power. It is the most famous magic prop left by spellcasters in the previous era. As a magical civilization in the previous era The only inheritor of the Holy See, the Holy See has a unique method to verify this kind of precious magic items, that is, divination. Therefore, we decided to seek help from the Holy See, which is to verify whether Lady Ravenclaw's diadem is real The only and fastest way. It is a great honor that Bishop Brax, who is visiting London, is willing to help us, and he happens to be proficient in divination..."

Every time he finished a sentence, there was a burst of heated discussions in the auditorium.
