Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"How can I put it, I don't like that kind of gathering very much." Frentzen said, "You should have noticed that this gathering is actually a gathering on the soul level. I'm not sure whether it will affect the souls of the participants. Influence - others may not care, but I can't. I am a fortune teller and need to use my soul to perceive all clues related to the future at any time, so I cannot bear any risk that may affect my soul."

"Then do you think attending the rally really has an impact on the soul?" Dean was a little uneasy. From a certain perspective, he also had to rely on prophecies to make a living.

"I said I'm not sure. I've only attended two, no, three meetings. At least when I quit, I haven't found that my soul was affected, but I speculate that there is a high chance of frequent meetings in that state. There will be an impact,” Frentzen replied.

"Then can I understand that even if participating in the rally has little impact on the soul, it is just that you can't accept it, so you quit?" Dean asked.

"Until further evidence appears, you are right to understand this." Frentzen nodded in approval.

"Mr. Frentzen, it seems that the SL rally can be initiated by any member?" Dean thought of a detail during the meeting.

"It's not entirely accurate. Only mid-level chess piece holders and above can initiate a rally. Those low-level chess piece holders who own the 'Guards' are only qualified to participate in the meeting but not to initiate it." Frentzen explained.

"Are there any restrictions on holding a rally?" Dean asked.

"Except for two kings and two queens, if a mid-level chess player wants to initiate a rally, there must be a sufficient reason, such as a very important thing happening or important information to be shared. If after the rally is initiated, the people participating in the rally think that the reason for launching the rally is not enough. sufficient, then the organizer of the rally will most likely be demoted," Frentzen replied.

"Mr. Frentzen, I have another question." Dean planned to take Frentzen out at once. He noticed that as Frentzen explained the relevant information of the SL gathering, the decryption of "Era Mission: The Secret of SL" Progress is slowly increasing.

"You said it." Frenten seemed to be in a very good mood, not worried at all about Dean taking the opportunity to plunder something.

"Does all chess piece holders have to attend every meeting? I noticed that only a few people had this opportunity." Dean asked.

"Except for the gathering called by the two kings and queens, where all chess piece holders are forced to attend, the gatherings called by other chess pieces are not compulsory." Frentzen explained.

"Will there be an embarrassing situation where no one attends the meeting?" Dean asked with some evil humor.

"Definitely not." Frentzen took a deep look at Dean, "In gatherings convened by others, one of the two kings and queens must attend. On the one hand, it is to give the convener the minimum respect, and on the other hand, there is surveillance. The intention is included to prevent the middle-level chess pieces from connecting in series."

"What about the other chess pieces?"

"The convener of the assembly will generally designate certain chess pieces to participate. These chess pieces cannot refuse without justifiable reasons, otherwise they will be demoted."

That's it!

Dean nodded thoughtfully.

The gathering just now was initiated by Bishop Haig and White, ostensibly to share information about the Mayflower, but Dean had a hunch that his real purpose was the Mandrake resurrection potion.

Because Dean was almost forced to participate.

The so-called sharing of information is just a valid reason given by Bishop Heigbai to hold a meeting. Otherwise, if he held a meeting just for a bottle of Mandrake Resurrection Potion, he would definitely be demoted.

"Wouldn't it be a big loss for the chess pieces to be forced to participate? After all, everyone is equal." Dean was a little puzzled. This rule seemed a bit overwhelming.

"Of course not. The chess pieces designated to participate in the meeting have the right to propose a reasonable compensation bargaining chip to the convener of the meeting - basically everyone gets what they need."

Frentzen's answer made Dean a little depressed. He seemed to have suffered the loss of being mute unintentionally.

He originally thought he could get the raw materials for the mandrake resurrection potion and already made money, but little did he know that he could actually get more.

"On what basis did the convenor determine the chess pieces designated for the meeting?" Dean adjusted his frustrated mood.

"Of course it depends on the areas in which each chess piece is good at." Frentzen replied matter-of-factly.

"The problem is that even if I want to call a meeting now, I don't know who to appoint to participate, because I don't know what the other chess pieces are good at." Dean asked a little impatiently.

"I'm afraid I can't be of much help here." Frentzen said regretfully, "I have been participating in the gathering for too long, and I have only participated in it a few times. I don't know what the current chess pieces are good at - I'm afraid. You need to explore it yourself.”

"Then I have to attend rallies frequently before I can figure out the clues." Dean said a little frustrated.

"I think there are many benefits to attending more rallies. At least it can make you familiar with this era faster." Frentzen advised.

"It's a pity that the meetings are called too infrequently." Dean said dejectedly.

"That's not necessarily the case." Frentzen said meaningfully, "Another chaotic world is about to begin, and the SL rally will not sit idly by - so you must have many opportunities to participate in the rally."

"The troubled times you are talking about refer to the Muggle world..." Dean was interrupted by Frentzen just as he said this.

"I know that you come from the future and are very aware of the major events in the Muggle world of this era, but I still want to say, don't try to change any known history. You just need to be a bystander and a witness." Frentzen warned earnestly.

"I understand. What I want to ask is whether the chaos in the Muggle world will have an impact on the magical world?"

"That is inevitable. The magical world and the Muggle world are interdependent. However, no matter how the Muggle world changes, the magical world will not be greatly affected. We have our own set of operating rules."

"Then... why did you say that the SL rally might be involved?" Dean felt that Frentzen's words were a bit inconsistent.

"Because not all participants in the SL gathering are from the magical world. I said that those chess pieces have extraordinary backgrounds in reality. Of course, they include Muggles and even people from the Holy See." Frentzen winked mysteriously at Dean. Eyes, "You should think about it, why did the SL rally choose a clear-cut format like chess to hold the rally?"

After Frentzen finished speaking, he ignored Dean who was deep in thought and walked back to the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Dean knew that Frentzen's last problem needed to be solved by himself, and he could not tell all the secrets.

But Dean has gained enough from Frentzen tonight: the decryption progress of "Era Mission: The Secret of SL" has reached 10%, unlocking a very interesting subsystem: the SL rally system.
