Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Chapter 351: Suspicions about the Church

"Isn't this a bit outrageous?" Dean looked at Serent in shock.

Serent said with a complicated expression: "Mr. White, maybe Gruul is right, you are indeed the special one."

Dean couldn't help but feel a headache when he heard that Serente also made this emphasis: "Stop it! Don't talk to me about your church's nonsense, and I tell you clearly that my opinion of you has not changed at all, and I will not Forgive you for abandoning Aesop!"

Under the confused gazes of the Boots, Serente looked embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "Let me introduce you first. This is Mr. Andy White. This is the Boots. You are both." Wizard, I believe you can get familiar with him quickly."

Dean smiled and said hello to the Boots, and reminded him in time: "I saw a pair of twins over there. They should be your children, right?"

Mrs. Boot immediately exclaimed: "Chadwick and Webb! I almost forgot about them! Sorry, I'll excuse you for a moment~"

After saying that, he ran towards the twins' hiding place.

There was also a hint of hesitation on Mr. Bute's face, as if he wanted to go see it with his wife, but he was afraid that doing so would be rude.

"We have many opportunities to communicate, you can go and take a look first." Dean said understandingly.

Mr. Boot nodded gratefully to Dean and followed his wife's footsteps.

"Mr. White, thank you for giving me a chance to explain." Serent said gratefully.

It seemed to him that Dean deliberately separated the Boots just because he wanted to talk to him alone.

Dean was speechless, Serente obviously misunderstood.

Because he knew Delphi was around, Dean didn't realize that he had given Serente the illusion of preparing to talk alone.

"I didn't..." Dean was about to say that he didn't mean that, but was interrupted by Delphi's soft whisper in his ear.

'Listening to his explanation, I wonder how creatures like fanatics could appear in the New World. ' Delphi begged.

Dean shrugged and chose to keep his mouth shut.

"Mr. White, you have to believe me. At the beginning, I really wanted to take the Mayflower with Aesop to the New World." Seeing that Dean no longer resisted, Serente immediately defended.

Dean looked at him coldly and did not answer.

"But at that time I received a summons from a big shot in the church, asking me to go to France immediately." Serente felt helpless. "That was a big shot that I couldn't refuse. The consequences of refusal are as you just saw. He They will send fanatics to hunt me down.”

"I actually don't care, but it would be bad if Aesop was also implicated, so I had no choice but to separate from Aesop first and rush to France."

Dean judged from Serent's expression that he probably wasn't lying, and he also mentioned France. Could it be that the big shot was Du Plessis?

"Who summoned you? What did he want you to do?" Dean asked immediately.

"Sorry, I can't reveal that person's name. His purpose of summoning me is actually very simple. He just doesn't want me to leave on the Mayflower with Aesop." Serent said with a bitter smile.

Dean was slightly shocked. That person's purpose was so clear. Does that mean the church already knew about Aesop's existence and importance?

'You should ask whether you don't want him on the Mayflower or with Aesop. 'Delphi reminded in his ear.

Dean immediately realized that this question was important and asked it immediately.

"I don't know, but I think the possibility of that person knowing Aesop is very small." Serent thought for a moment and replied.

"So it's very possible that he doesn't want you to take the Mayflower?" Dean confirmed.

"I wasn't sure at first, but after learning that Brest was also planning to board the Mayflower, I confirmed my guess." Serende hesitated to speak.

"Oh? You also know Brest?" Dean was a little surprised.

"I've heard of it. He belongs to the Puritans, but he has the support of the church's high-level people behind him." Serende replied.

"The reason why the big shot in your mouth doesn't want you to ride on the Mayflower is because of Brest?" Dean felt a little dizzy.

Dean was sure from the beginning that it was Du Plessis who supported Brest. After all, the book "Main Principles for the Defense of Church Beliefs" had clearly shown Du Plessis' support for Protestants, including the Puritans. But according to Serente's wishes, the church leaders who summoned him to France are also like Du Plessis, which is interesting.

According to normal thinking, if the people behind Brest and Serente are Du Plessis, shouldn't they be allowed to work together to help each other?Why bother to separate them?

Thinking about it this way, the option that had just been ruled out seemed to be possible again: the real purpose of the people behind Serent was to prevent him from being with Aesop.

It's just that Serent didn't realize this and was completely diverted by Brest.

Although this was just Dean's guess, he was eighty-nine percent sure that he was right.

"What's going on with Gruul? Don't you have the support of a big shot in the church? Why is that fanatic chasing you?" Dean asked.

At first he even suspected that Gruul was also sent by Du Plessis.

"I'm not sure. I guess it was sent by the big shot's political opponent." Dean also looked confused.

Dean shook his head slowly. He didn't agree. If Gruul was really sent by the big shot of the church and wanted to destroy his plan in the New World, Brest would undoubtedly be much more important than Serent.

Gruul should go after Brest, but according to Dean's induction, Brest has been operating in a high-profile manner since arriving in the New World, and he has not heard of any danger.

So Gruul's goal was clear, and it was Serente from the beginning.

"Selent, why do you want to come to the New World again? Could it be arranged by that big shot?" Dean then remembered that he hadn't asked Serent what his mission here was.

"No." Serente denied flatly. "The man who summoned me to France did not arrange any tasks. He just asked me to study the teachings there for three days, and then sent me away. I realized then It turned out that he didn’t want me to take the Mayflower to the New World, so he decided to take the nearest ship and come to the New World... looking for Aesop.”

"Hmph, don't think I will forgive you if you say this." Dean snorted coldly.

Serende had already explained very clearly that when she left Aesop, she was afraid that if she offended that big shot, he would be hunted down and harm her.

But this is only one side of Serent's words, and Dean cannot fully trust him until he understands why Gruul is hunting him.

In fact, if Gruul hadn't intervened in the middle, Dean would have almost believed in Serende. Unfortunately, once the fanatical believer interfered, everything became confusing.

Especially Gruul's attitude towards Dean made him feel even more uneasy. He always felt as if the church people were plotting against him.

Serende said he didn't know the reason why Gruul was chasing him. Dean knew that no matter how hard he pressed, he wouldn't find out anything, so he had to look for clues from other places. Then he thought of the Bute couple, who actively immigrated to the country in this era. There are not many wizards in the New World.
