Chapter 372: Les: We can't let the Ministry of Magic shut down Hufflepuff

Feeling the earth trembling, Les sighed: It is meaningless and unsympathetic to blame Helga now. Les, who considers himself a good friend of Helga, decided to help her in his own way.

He drew his wand and pointed it toward the sky.

The water vapor in the air began to condense faster, and the magic power was also transmitted through it. After a while, raindrops floated in the sky, trying to wash away what had just happened.

"Darling, did you see that? That monster—"

"I saw it. What the hell is that?! Can't this damn car go faster?!"

On the road, a Beetle was driving at the maximum speed of 60 miles per hour, and a man and a woman in the car were still in shock.

When the two were just talking, the ground suddenly shook. They thought it was an earthquake, but when they looked out the window, they saw a giant as tall as a mountain.

The scene frightened the two men so much that they started the car and drove away without even buttoning their shirts.

The sky suddenly began to drizzle with fine raindrops. A few hair-like raindrops drifted in through the car window. The gazes of the man and the woman gradually began to fade away.

"Brakes--"

“It’s going to crash!!!”

creak-

"Huh...how do you drive?!"

"Hey, why am I driving?"

……

The rain falls, the water vapor rises, and all the stories are hidden in this heavy rain.

Les returned to the scene of the incident. Helga had vented her anger and was sitting on the ground resting.

The original small earthen slope had disappeared, replaced by a deep pit with a diameter of more than 30 meters. Loose soil, stones and plant fragments were scattered everywhere inside and outside the pit. These were the remains of the mud giant that Helga had just created.

The raindrops falling from the sky with the effect of the forgetfulness spell had no effect on Helga, but she still conjured up a "C" shaped platform to shelter her from the wind and rain.

Seeing Salazar coming back, Helga didn't say anything, but just nodded at him as a greeting.

Les understood her feelings and didn't say much to her. He just jumped into the pit and tried to find Gemini out.

But before Rice could even make a single turn at the bottom of the pit, Helga's voice came from above his head: "Don't bother, he's everywhere now."

Hearing this, Rice silently threw aside the handful of wet soil in his hand - there was no need to search any further.

He didn't have much hope for the search operation, but he was just hoping that Helga could control her anger and give Gemini a break. After all, Gemini was a person with his own territory, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to take a few punches and let Helga vent her anger, right?

Unfortunately, perhaps it was because Gemini was not very resistant to attacks, or perhaps it was because Helga was too angry, anyway, Gemini could not hold on, and after his domain was broken, he was smashed into a pulp by Helga.

Now the idea of ​​following these two monks to find clues to the secret society is likely to fail. After Helga's violent attack and powerful magic stirred up this area, no traces will remain, and magic cannot read Gemini's memories before his death.

Having given up the search, Rice returned to the surface and came to Helga's side. Only then did he notice that Cedric was placed at Helga's feet.

Bending down to check Cedric's condition, Rice felt that he should not have suffered irreversible damage. He knocked on the hard shell covering Cedric's body, making a crisp sound.

"A mixture of soil and resin doped with my magic power, it is triggered when the wearer is under fatal threat. It can unfold a miniature field in a very short time to protect the user's life." Helga briefly introduced the function of the shell to her old friend.

"It's an ingenious design, and it's more useful than the stuff I prepared for my students." Rice thought Helga's design was more reasonable than his accessory, and its life-saving ability was obviously much stronger.

“It’s not easy to be evaluated like this by you.”

Helga's words came from the heart. When it comes to equipping students with magic props, Salazar is the most professional. He is very good at adding magic to various materials.

Of course, she didn't know that Rice had successfully installed his domain on the brooch. If she knew, she would definitely be shocked.

"Anyway, thank you for the rain of forgetfulness." Helga looked at the rain falling from the sky and couldn't help but feel a little grateful for the help of her old friend.

With his help, he didn't need to consider the impact of this battle. When the sun rose, the Muggles would only think that there was an earthquake, and no one would come out and say something that shouldn't be said.

"We can't let them come to your house and take you to Azkaban!" Rice laughed.

This is actually a very serious question. As the Hufflepuff who respects the rules the most among the four, it is really possible that she will be imprisoned in Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic - as long as she has indeed violated the current laws and there is a formal trial process, Helga is very likely to obey the verdict.

Unlike me, I would definitely find a way to get away with it, such as changing my identity and continuing to live.

Helga also laughed when she heard her old friend's words.

"They are the secret order you are talking about?"

"Yes, they were a bunch of rag-picking mice who picked up the garbage we didn't clean up." Rice couldn't help but sigh when he said this: "It's just that the little guys who came later were not good enough and couldn't even beat these rag-picking mice."

After saying this, Les and Helga were silent for a moment.

"Perhaps it's not that the younger generation is incompetent, but that the four of us are too strong," Helga tried to make amends for the future generations of wizards: "Before us, those gods had been at large for thousands of years."

Les was stunned and felt that what Helga said made sense. Maybe they were really too strong.

"By the way, just now..." Les told Helga about what he saw Hela's head.

"He is different from the other fragments. He still retains some consciousness. He will scream and run away when he sees me."

"That's really smart." Helga felt like she wanted to vomit, but she didn't know where to start.

“Don’t look at me like that,” Les waved his hand. “After you interact with the people of the Secret Society more, you will find that the so-called ‘divine remains’ on them are the remains of the false gods left after their death. It is incredible that they can be preserved with consciousness. Hela herself is not a powerful god, so it is very abnormal for her to behave like this.”

"You mean?"

"I saw an interesting guy in the last memory of His head. Loki, do you have any impression of him?"

"The God of Mischief?" Helga had naturally heard of this famous god.

"He is the god of lies and trickery, and also the god of fire." Rice rolled his eyes. The second most important figure among the Norse gods was made to sound like a clown by Helga.

"Same." Helga didn't want to dwell on these details. "Are you saying this matter is related to Loki? But wasn't He killed by Rowena?"

Rice shook his head, indicating that he was not sure.

According to Ravenclaw, Godric helped a lot in this matter. He successfully seized the power of the God of Fire, so that Loki lost most of his fighting power at once and was easily killed by her.

"Maybe it has nothing to do with Him? Loki is Hela's father after all. Isn't it normal for Him to appear in the last consciousness?"

Rice agreed with Helga's conjecture.

"But if Loki is behind the Secret Order, then we can't underestimate them."

"What does Loki want to do? Revenge on us?" Hufflepuff laughed, "But in the eyes of the outside world, the four of us have already died."

"Do you think Loki believes it?" Les was speechless: The four wizards who set off Ragnarok would die of old age, would any god believe it? Especially since the means of immortality such as Horcruxes had already been invented at that time.

"But I don't think He wants to take revenge on us, or revenge is not the top priority." Les carefully analyzed the psychology of the God of Lies and Deception for Helga. "Although Muggle folklore puts a lot of things we do on Him, the relationship between Him and Odin is indeed not that close."

"I think He still wants to restore the glory of the gods. Now it seems that it is not impossible."

If he were in his place, Rice would also make such an effort: He was originally living a comfortable life as a god, enjoying countless offerings, and occasionally entertaining his brother and his family of gods. What a happy life! But then it was ruined by four wizards who appeared out of nowhere. Can he be willing to accept this? Of course he would not be willing to accept this, so he would naturally find a way to go back to the past.

"After hearing what you said, His vision has become much broader." Helga joked, "So? What should we do?"

"When the enemy comes, we will stop him with our troops and when the water comes, we will block it with earth. We should remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances." Rice expressed his thoughts: "The Secret Society will definitely cause trouble in the future. We will just wait for them to jump out and slap them to death. Anyway, they have already set Hogwarts as their target."

Hufflepuff: ...

Is this a passive response? She thought Salazar would wipe out the Secret Order, but she didn't expect him to wait for them to come to her.

"You can go and discuss it with Rowena and see what she says." Les believed that Rowena would support his decision.

"Stop talking." Helga agreed hesitantly.

"By the way, can you help me check on Digory?" Before returning to school, Helga was still a little worried about her student's condition, so she took the initiative to remove the protection on him and let Salazar check his body.

After the shell disappeared, Les's eyes fell on the wound on Cedric's shoulder, which was burned by the light and dark fields of Gemini. The whole shoulder had a sense of burns, and blisters of various sizes bulged on the skin.

"How is it? I also found a problem here. Is the situation serious? Will there be any... long-term impact?" Among the four, Helga focused on the field of physical enhancement, and Salazar was best at treatment, so she really wanted to hear Salazar's advice.

There were even beads of sweat on Helga's forehead.

Rice saw all this and quietly raised Cedric's status in her heart. She had no doubt that anyone who hurt her student would be punished most severely.

His comment on this is: Isn’t this a bit too much?

How can a child who grew up in a greenhouse become a truly great wizard? His own education method is better. He will arrange strong enough experience for his students. However, if Helga wants him to take Cedric with him during the assessment this time, he needs to think about it seriously, because the child's strength is a bit supermodel.

Having Daphne alone is enough to give him a headache. It is quite difficult to control the intensity of the assessment. Adding Cedric to the mix will make his head explode.

It is really a science to create a deadly threat without actually killing the students you have worked so hard to train. Rice suddenly missed Quirrell in the past.

If only Quirrell were still alive, I would definitely help him awaken the water or earth domain at all costs, and then make him the subject of the final exam every year.

Another day of missing Quirrell.

Rice's mind was far away, and he looked like he was in a daze, which frightened Helga: Why was Salazar thinking all the time? Was there really something wrong with Digory?

"Oh!" Les, who came back to his senses after being gently called by Helga, reacted and told Hufflepuff that there was no need to worry too much. Although Cedric's shoulder injury was a bit tricky, it was not unhealable.

"The magic power of the Gemini domain remains in the muscles on his shoulder. Under the influence of this magic power, the wound will heal very slowly. It may even be unable to heal for life due to the characteristics of the domain. From a more pessimistic perspective, the wound may even fester further."

Les's words made Helga's face turn extremely ugly, but fortunately he immediately proposed a solution to the problem.

"You just need to use the power of your own domain to eliminate the remaining magic power of Gemini, and the wound will become an ordinary burn. There is nothing wrong with him, but his magic power consumption is a bit high. You can go back and get some energy potions."

Hufflepuff felt relieved immediately, and she even thought that she could use this opportunity to let Cedric practice domain confrontation.

Just as she moved Cedric to her side and began to draw the teleportation magic circle, Les suddenly said this out of the blue.

"By the way, I won't go back with you."

Helga:?

"Are you planning to track down the whereabouts of the Secret Order?"

Les rolled his eyes in response.

"Of course not! There is no point in tracking that thing. If Loki is not behind the Secret Order, then it is not a concern. If Loki is the mastermind, then my investigation will be discovered by Him in no time. In the end, either He will set a trap for me, or I will completely eliminate the Secret Order, but several similar organizations will emerge in other places. I don't want Dumbledore to know that I have escaped too!"

Hufflepuff: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
