Chapter 336
After the Soul-Snatching Curse was lifted, Babbage's own will finally return.
He recalled his experience before being cursed, and Babbage, who has always regarded himself, couldn't help but look ashamed and angry.
"I was actually controlled by someone using the Soul-Snatching Curse, it's such a shame!"
After reason returned, Babbage gradually sorted out the whole story and understood that he and his group were being used.
"Mujir..."
Close your eyes in pain and remained silent for a moment. Babbage murmured in a low voice: "I've hurt you."
Grindelwald never relies on coercive means to control his subordinates. Those who follow Grindelwald spontaneously agree with his philosophy, which is essentially different from Voldemort's use of fear to control his subordinates.
"Suck~"
After all, he was also the leader of the new generation of Greenward believers. Before the matter was finished, Babbage took a deep breath and forced himself to temporarily restrain his emotions and calm down.
“Before answering your question…”
Babbage asked in a deep voice: "Please tell me first, who you are, and why should you intervene in this dispute that does not belong to you?"
Xin Sheng chuckled and waved his hand, "Don't say so absolutely, you're so sure I have nothing to do with this matter?"
Babbage's eyes flashed: "At least I'm sure you didn't contact Lord Grindelwald directly. So... were you here for the man in black robe?"
Xin Sheng showed a look of praise on his face: "Good insight and logical thinking, but please understand your situation first and answer my questions. I will decide whether to disclose your identity to you depending on the situation."
Babbage, whose body was sealed by a petrification curse, had no other choice. In order to save the remaining companions, he could only grit his teeth and reveal the information he knew.
As Xin Sheng guessed, pretending to be the Death Eater was the suggestion made by the man in black robe after controlling Babbage with the Soul-Snatching Spell.
You can tell from your English accent that the man in black robe who escaped must have come from the UK, and perhaps one of the so-called twenty-eight pure blood holy clans.
The suspects are the first choice for former Death Eaters who have not been arrested in Azkaban. Xin Sheng first suspects the Malfoy family.
However, as far as Xin Sheng knows, the Malfoy family has always been a fence-breaster who is good at speculation. Even at Voldemort's peak, they did not put all their treasures on the Dark King.
This is also the main reason why the Malfoy family was able to escape from the crime after the war, because their Voldemort was not purified enough, which was essentially different from the infamous Voldemort's loyalty, the Lestranger family.
The Malfoy family's habit of speculating and countering players did not start from the generation of Lucius, the contemporary head of the family.
When the International Secrecy Law was promulgated, the Malfoy family once expressed firm opposition to the law.
Because they have close contacts with the British royal family and the nobles in the secular world, once the international secrets law takes effect, the magic world and the secular world will be completely decoupled, which will seriously affect the power of the Malfoy family.
However, the situation in the international magic world at that time could no longer allow wizards to hesitate. With the unanimous vote of senior officials of the Ministry of Magic of various countries, the International Secrecy Law was finally officially implemented.
A dramatic scene happened. The Malfoy family, who had been so anxious that they jumped, suddenly changed their position 180 degrees and began to pursue the wise decision of the British Ministry of Magic.
They knew that the implementation of the International Secretariat Law was a foregone conclusion and were able to retake the team under a rapidly changing situation.
As it turned out, the pragmatic decision of the Malfoy family leader at that time was correct.
More than two centuries after the promulgation of the International Secretariat Law, the long-standing Malfoy family still maintained a strong influence in the magic world with their long-lasting skills and continued to this day.
By the way, Lucius Malfoy is one of the twelve board members of Hogwarts and the one with the greatest influence.
The Malfoy family has been pragmatic in observing the situation and changing their positions since a long time ago, and Lucius is also a speculative person who does not show off his rabbit and does not show off his eagle.
If the man in black robe was really Lucius, it would prove that he saw actual benefits from this incident.
‘Or, it was forced to do it?’
In the absence of clues, this question cannot be answered for the time being.
Now Voldemort is too busy to take care of himself, Xin Sheng doesn't think he has the strength to threaten Malfoy.
‘Let’s be careful for now. If you find an opportunity to contact Lucius in the future, you may find some clues.’
As for the origin of Babbage and others...
It's ridiculous to say that Grindelwald himself didn't know that he had such a young guard.
Babbage and others' ancestors once participated in the action of reforming the magic world with Greenward.
After Grindelwald's defeat, most of his followers were arrested and thrown into Azkaban. Only a few of them were lucky enough to escape and hid in hiding their names.
Grindelwald has been defeated for more than 40 years, and the followers were already old.
But they did not give up their beliefs and passed on the concept of reforming the magic world to their descendants of the previous generation of the Dark King.
These people quietly moved their residences and secretly agreed to move to a small village near the Neumangade Prison to settle down. They did not reveal their identity as wizards at all, but would quietly teach their descendants to learn magic in the basement.
According to Babbage, Grindelwald seemed to have lost his ambitions after being defeated by Dumbledore, and has been staying honestly in Newmongaard's prison, completely isolated from the outside world.
The rise of the new generation of Dark King made Babbage and others very disdainful.
Compared with Grindelwald, who has a complete program and legitimate ideals, the second generation of Dark Lord Voldemort is a madman with an immature mentality.
Without Grindelwald's leadership, Xin Sheng was not optimistic about the so-called revolutionary ideals of Babbage and others.
Some clues can be seen from the number of less than ten of them. Without Grindelwald with strong personal charm, it is basically impossible for the leader Babbage to develop and grow the new believer organization.
‘Did Dumbledore know the existence of this small wizard organization? Did he not have the information, or did he think they did not threaten and deliberately let them go?’
Xin Sheng rubbed his eyebrows thoughtfully: "Although he still looks weak now, if he can find his true backbone for this organization...'
...
For some considerations, Xin Sheng did not make things difficult for Babbage and others.
After learning all the information they wanted from them, Xin Sheng simply let the Greenward believers go and continue on the journey of searching for Soul Dust Moss.
Soul dust moss will only grow on ancient battlefields that have been flooded with a lot of blood.
For ordinary wizards, soul dust moss that cannot be observed with the naked eye is very difficult to find.
But Xin Sheng instead believes that Soul Dust Moss is better obtained than Ghost Mushroom.
There have been two world wars in Europe, and the tragic ancient battlefield is not difficult to find.
After turning on Hawkeye, Xin Sheng successfully found a large amount of soul dust moss near Normandy Beach in France.
When Xin Sheng used Floor powder to rush back to Hogsmeade village, Xiri was spraying medicine on the snake's body of the snake Nagini.
"hiss!"
This pungent potion made Nagini's reaction very intense. The snake, whose whole body was bound by a spell, twisted wildly, showing an excited mood.
Not only did Xiri not get frustrated, but instead clenched her fists with surprise: "It works!"
"Hmph~"
Unwilling to be outdone, Snape raised a bottle of potion that was emitting green smoke.
