Chapter 456 Divination Lesson and the Arrival of Nagini

Yang Tian was in a state of confusion. He had wanted to take a good look at Cedric and Lee Jordan, but after a few seconds, the crystal ball was once again shrouded in a mysterious veil...

Professor Trelawney smiled and told Yang Tian that this was actually a common phenomenon. Sometimes, when we try to predict an event, it may be obscured by some mandatory rules. This rule may be destiny, or it may be man-made, or it may be an alchemical tool...

But no matter what it is, these rules have strengths and weaknesses, and there are loopholes in the rules. So the way to crack it is also very simple, either to break it with force, use more powerful divination to remove the veil of the rules; or to find loopholes, and use the loopholes that the rules cannot cover to piece together the truth of the facts. For example, the current cover-up is not a complete cover-up. Your second and third attempts just now were actually covered by this cover-up.

Such a statement completely confused Yang Tiangan, whose logical thinking was relatively clear.

But Professor Trelawney still explained enthusiastically: "Maybe what I said is very abstract, but this is the fact. The masking rules cannot cover everything. The simpler the rules, the longer they will last and the longer they will be effective. But many things are like this. They are not within the masking rules, but are closely related to the masked content. This is the so-called coverage. If you can't find loopholes in the masking rules, choose to look for loopholes in the covered content. This is the first lesson of divination..."

Hearing this, Yang Tian suddenly realized the true meaning of what Professor Trelawney had said before. The Awakened are not unpredictable! Their fate may not be as mysterious as it seems on the surface. As long as we can find the right methods and clues, we can reveal the truth. This new cognition made Yang Tian excited.

Professor Trelawney also specifically reminded Yang Tian that the covering problem this time was just a small trick in divination. How could real divination be so simple?

Such an amazing practice was a shot of adrenaline for Yang Tian. In the following days, Yang Tian eagerly learned the knowledge of divination. He immersed himself in books and materials, trying to understand various divination techniques and theories.

Of course, Yang Tian would not give up the pursuit of Durmstrang's location easily. Whenever he had free time, he continued to use the crystal ball to look for new breakthroughs and play various "guessing games". As time went by, clues gradually surfaced under Yang Tian's tireless exploration...

In addition to studying various subjects, Yang Tian also encountered many more happy things during this period. For example, after only a few days in school, he saw his right-hand man, Nagini. Sure enough, she used her own method to enter Hogwarts. At this time, the two found a quiet corner and were discussing something.

"I really didn't expect that you actually got in by your own ability." Yang Tian teased.

"Master, you are joking. After all, Dumbledore is an old friend of mine, so it is reasonable for me to find him a temporary place to stay." Nagini replied quickly.

"Why didn't I see you a few days ago?" Yang Tian asked.

"Dumbledore has been contacting his friends recently, asking them to help find the location of the circus and Durmstrang. I was sent to various places as a messenger, and it was not until today that I finished all the tasks." Nagini told Dumbledore's plan without hesitation.

"Any progress?" Yang Tian asked casually.

"The circus is currently performing in Finland and will not leave in the short term... Oh, by the way, I have seen their director from afar, and he is not the old director I knew before." Nagini introduced to Yang Tian seriously: "However, it is strange that although the new director has a different body shape and appearance from the old director, for some reason, his temperament and small movements are exactly the same as the old director. I don't know what the problem is, but this is definitely not normal."

Hearing this, Yang Tian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Could it be a method like Disguise Magus?"

"It shouldn't be." Nagini denied it directly: "The new leader's resume is very clear. His footprints from childhood to adulthood are clearly visible. There are also relevant investigation results of relatives and friends." As she said that, she handed over a piece of parchment respectfully.

When she saw Yang Tian reading carefully, she hurriedly continued to explain: "I came to this conclusion after a long period of observation. I have seen wizards with Metamorphosis. They can imitate a person for a short period of time, but if they pretend to be a person for a long time, they will definitely be exposed. Polyjuice Potion is even more impossible..." Nagini patiently reported her findings one by one.

Such an explanation also made Yang Tian a little surprised and confused, but he also couldn't grasp the key to the problem.

If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it. Yang Tian temporarily put aside this doubt and continued to ask: "What about Durmstrang?"

"There are no clues. This is really an unsolved mystery that has troubled us for thousands of years." Nagini shook her head helplessly, with a hint of distress and confusion in her tone: "I followed a few friends of Dumbledore and met several people who had been to Durmstrang, but even after searching their brains, I couldn't find any relevant information. However, they were not surprised by this. They told me that this is the foundation of Durmstrang and the fundamental reason why no one knew the exact location of the campus for so many years."

Yang Tian listened quietly, frowning slightly: "Okay, then do you have anything else to do recently?"

Nagini bowed and replied, "Nothing else for now, Master."

Yang Tian nodded, a satisfied smile on his face: "That's good. Recently, I really need you to help me make contact. Our operation is about to begin. Anyway, there are only a few things left, and we must get them all back in a short time."

Nagini straightened up immediately and answered firmly, "Master, please rest assured. This matter has been reported in the communication ring, and the details of the operation have been announced. I promise that I will go to meet you as soon as possible and bring back everything you need."

Yang Tian smiled and patted Nagini's shoulder, encouraging her: "Very good, Nagini. I believe in your ability and loyalty. When you complete your mission and return, I will give you the reward you deserve."
