Chapter 103 The Protagonist of the Donkey Zodiac
If you think this way, in the classroom that day, Hermione was not trying to steal Caitlina's boyfriend, but she was accusing Chen Bin of abandoning the group's friendship and asking him to do the same to Harry, Ron, Hermione and Caitlina. Treat everyone equally.
Oh my God! Chen Bin thought along this line and felt really embarrassed that day! I thought this girl was confessing her love in public, but found out that she was just blaming her playmate!
As soon as Chen Bin sent Catalina back to the lounge, Harry immediately took off his invisibility cloak and appeared in front of him. "Sorry, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
"You've been sneaking around with me for so long, so of course I've disturbed you." Chen Bin rolled his eyes angrily. Did he really regard his perception as a decoration?
Harry didn't want to pester Chen Bin, but he had too many questions in his heart that he wanted to talk to him about. Chen Bin knew he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he found an empty classroom and started listening.
It is said that last week, Harry checked the Marauder's Map at night and found that Peter Pettigrew, who should have died long ago, was wandering in the castle.
In line with the principle of looking for trouble when nothing happens, and turning things into big things when there is nothing, bah bah bah! In line with the principle of seeking truth from facts, he searched for Pettigrew according to the map, but was caught by Snape. Snape discovered the map in his pocket and almost forced him to reveal its secret. Lupine rescued him according to Lao Deng's script, and used his identity as a "Defense Against the Dark Arts" professor to get back the Marauder's Map.
Lupine took Harry to the classroom and gave him a good scolding. He thought that if the map fell into Sirius' hands, Harry would be caught by him. He also warned Harry that his parents died to save Harry, but now Harry was making a fool of himself with his own life, so he confiscated the map and drove Harry back to the dormitory.
However, before Harry left, he told Lupine that the map showed Pettigrew's name, and Lupine cooperated with his expression of surprise and confusion.
: Cut! Good Take!
Besides this sentence, what else could Chen Bin say? He knew the direction of the plot, but he just didn't say it. This task had already been left to Lao Deng to worry about.
"I think Professor Lupine seems to understand the principles of the Marauder's Map very well, and even Black seems to understand it." Harry concentrated on Chen Bin's facial expression and continued slowly. "Also, he didn't seem surprised that Pettigrew's name appeared on the map. His expression was more like he was pretending."
"Then what do you suspect?" Chen Bin kept the detective's poker face to prevent Harry from seeing any flaws.
No wonder Harry would discuss it with him. It turned out that he was an honest man who didn't know how to act, and Harry discovered some clues.
When Harry heard this, he looked around first, and after making sure there was no one else, he whispered: "I suspect that Professor Lupine may have something to do with Black, or even help Black secretly. Otherwise, how could he not seem to be following the clues?" Maybe it was just a smoke bomb he released. During this period, he no longer demonstrated Defense Against the Dark Arts with all his strength. Instead, he often hid in the dormitory. Therefore, I suspected that he was there. He secretly helped Black sneak into the school. He was also in the school when he destroyed the Fat Lady's portrait and slashed Ron's bed curtain."
Detective Harry's divine deductions left Chen Bin speechless. Basically, the general direction of this kid's deductions was always right, but the process and conclusion were always wrong.
However, in the first six episodes of the original work, either important evidence was hidden, or Lao Deng's gang deliberately misled him, otherwise Harry's investigative ability was actually quite strong. This time it was the extra's acting that once again misled his judgment.
Chen Bin patted his shoulder and said painfully: "I will pay attention to his actions, but you must also be careful not to be caught observing him. The most important thing in investigating a case is to protect yourself, and solving the case is secondary. "
Harry became more confident with Chen Bin's encouragement. After chatting with Chen Bin for a while longer, he put on his invisibility cloak and went back to the lounge.
What else can Chen Bin do besides encourage?
Advise him not to investigate further? The protagonist is born in the year of Donkey, and the more he is persuaded, the more he must do it. Are all his arguments false? The more the protagonist wants to find out the truth and refute it. Therefore, Chen Bin emphasized safety first in his encouragement. This was his only advice, and it was also something Harry could hear.
Chen Bin was about to go back to his dormitory when he turned around and saw Lao Deng waving to him with a smile on his face.
"Oh my God! Why do we have so much to talk about in one night?"
Chen Bin almost collapsed, but Lao Deng remained unmoved and pulled him to apparate into the principal's office.
"Black tea with honey sponge pudding, such subtle flavors."
The old man happily took a sip of black tea and then a sip of pudding. Chen Bin saw that there was no way to get rid of the aversion to cold, so he frowned, but it took a toll on his heart.
"Don't just watch me eat, you should eat some too." The old man continued to eat bit by bit and hummed a little tune.
"No need." Chen Bin had no appetite, but asked curiously: "What makes you so happy?"
"Is it so easy to see?" Lao Deng took out a small box from the locked drawer and handed it to Chen Bin.
"Nonsense." Chen Bin muttered in his heart and opened the box with both hands. Inside was a thick stack of letters and a silver necklace without any decoration.
He looked at Lao Deng suspiciously, but Lao Deng used his eyes to signal him to take a look.
Chen Bin opened the letter and started reading.
This was a letter written to him by Nico Flamel himself. Of course Lao Deng had read the content, and the envelope was not sealed.
However, the more Chen Bin read, the more surprised he became. He was fascinated by it and read it for an hour without moving.
After reading the letter, Chen Bin was sure that this was the magical world of "Harry Potter", but the puzzles that were omitted in many children's books were unveiled by this famous alchemist who has lived for more than 600 years.
The long letter was summarized to introduce the effects of the necklace and his conjecture about the three ancient high magic families.
First of all, Nicolas Flamel did not know whether he was a descendant of the three high magic bloodlines, but he believed that the Slytherin family had Lilith's bloodline.
However, he thought it was just a coincidence.
The years from ancient times to the present have always been a mystery. If there are really three major families, except for the bloodline of Nama, which is still passed down in one line, the bloodlines of the other two families have long been mixed in the bodies of a large number of wizards. This is like all Chinese people can be classified as descendants of Yanhuang, but the proportion of bloodlines they occupy is different. For example, bloodlines containing 0.0001% can also be considered their descendants.
Some half-blood, pure-blood, or even Muggle-born wizards, if they suddenly have higher magic power or talent, may have suddenly awakened the blood of an ancestor in modern or medieval times, and this ancestor may have awakened part of the blood of some ancient high magic family, becoming a strong man with a very high starting point in that era.
Well, this speculation is very unfair, but there has never been fairness in the magic world. For example, people without magic power will never learn magic, which is the greatest injustice.
Nicolas Flamel mentioned that he lived to his current age in a muddle. For some reason, his magic power suddenly increased greatly when he was young, and his understanding of alchemy soared to as simple as eating and drinking. However, his descendants did not inherit any talent, but his wife stopped aging like him and has lived to this day.
In order to stop the gossip, he lied that he was studying the Philosopher's Stone with many magical effects, and said that he and his wife lived long because they used this magical stone.
Although he did not explain in the letter what method he used to prolong his wife's life, Chen Bin had received Li Xiuhui's magic infusion secret technique, so he could naturally guess that his method should be similar.
It is easy to understand why Nicolas Flamel did not use the same method to prolong the life of his descendants.
More than two years ago, when the Socket Nose was thinking about the stone, Nicolas Flamel announced the plan to destroy the Philosopher's Stone, and then faked his death and took his wife to change a new identity.
Unfortunately, Old Dumbledore knew his alternate address and knocked on the door to find Nicolas Flamel, who had changed his name.
The old man heard his friend Dumbledore first say that he had found the descendants of the three ancient tribes and guessed the mystery of his longevity, so the old man was very interested in Chen Bin's current situation.
Dumbledore told him about Chen Bin's blood curse and crazy and powerful blood.
In order to make an alchemical necklace for Chen Bin, Nicolas Flamel had to look through ancient books to no avail, and could only focus on Muggle legends, myths and epics. This is all due to Europe's bizarre history and values.
The wizards are the oldest atheists in Europe, which has caused strong hostility from Muggles with faith, who have vilified them as demons.
On the contrary, China regards the extraordinary as heroes of the masses, such as Zhurong, Gonggong, Houyi, Yanhuang, Chiyou, Jiang Taigong, etc. Even after the monks' iron law came into effect, there were still many suspected extraordinary people in various dynasties who used their wisdom to save all living beings or to correct the government and the public, such as Bian Que, Zhang Jue, Hua Tuo, Lu Dongbin, Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang and Liu Bowen, etc.
Therefore, in Chen Bin's eyes, the development history of Europe can be said to be very bizarre - Muggles conquered each other; the magic world often fought genocide wars; Muggles and wizards slaughtered each other for 5-7 centuries. The endless cycle of wars that destroyed nations and races has greatly hit the inheritance of wizards and Muggles, and it was not until modern times that it improved.
For example, the history of the period when the magic world had lost the three great high magic bloodlines; the loss of the Muggle world was even more devastating - most of the history was just speculation and exaggeration, and the only evidence was epics and legends, and some forged relics.
In the Muggle myths and legends, the vilification of the Nama family as nightmare witches was only a small matter, if compared with the Lilith family.
Lilith was first said to be the partner of the first human male, but she betrayed her husband because of a dispute over body positions and ran to have sex with the devil. Then, she transformed into a snake to seduce her ex-husband and his wife to eat an apple (another version said that the snake was transformed by her demon husband), so that the two were expelled from the park. From then on, Lilith sneaked into men's dreams to absorb vitality, strangled sleeping babies, became the ancestor of black magic, etc. She also exists in almost all European mythological systems. For example, in Greek mythology, she is called Lamia, a witch with a human upper body and a snake lower body, who often steals and murders babies.
