Chapter 501 The Whereabouts of the Holy Grail
It is not easy to draw conclusions about Minister Fudge's political actions.
After all, he has only been in office for four years, and he still has high potential for development, and he can make more suffocating operations in the future.
To describe it in one sentence is: the future can be expected!
But when it comes to making money, you don’t have to look at the future, and now is the only one in history.
In the first year he took office, under the leadership of Umbridge, he recommended a set of success books.
Will that set of books sell?Of course, Percy is a loyal reader and can't wait to read it before going to bed, playing it every night.
He hinted more than once that William hoped to receive such a Christmas gift.But the book was really expensive, and William was never willing to buy it.
This Christmas, I can help Percy realize his wish in this lifetime.
Why did the Minister give William a set of collector's editions a few months ago.
Minister Fudge clearly tasted the sweetness.Recommending books for others, how can I make money by publishing my own books!
So this classic book called "Ping An Jing" came out.As soon as it was released, it swept the major bestseller lists.
In the words of Umbridge: This book is the most anticipated work in the history of publication, and it is definitely worth the wait.
It is not without reason that some people can become personal secretaries in just a few years.First of all, you must be able to lick.
Otherwise, why would people discover your hidden talent?
So don't give any gifts next time, Minister Fudge has nothing to worry about, we don't like Garen, and we hate receiving gifts even more.
But if you are a loyal reader of others, if you insist on buying hundreds of books, the minister can't stop you from having such a fistful heart.
In William's view, Fudge was too honest and not thick-skinned enough.If it is him, [-] copies will be published, which will be released in limited quantities worldwide.
Since it's a limited release, you bought the book, why should I sign it for you?
This signature...maybe ten years from now.
But you can't wait to read it, do you still have to buy it?Then send it for signature.
It's like Eternal Motion Ji!
Look, even the cost of publishing books has been reduced, and it is controlled at fifty.
Just when William was thinking about how he would embezzle Hermione behind her back after Hermione became a minister... Tyene was already on the canal, and made another sharp turn.
On the left appears an elegant three-story building.
—Venice Casino.
William's attention diverged from the legalization of a huge amount of property of unknown origin... to gambling... Ah bah, game science!
This magnificent Renaissance-style palace has been part of the Venetian landscape since the sixteenth century.
It used to be a private mansion, but now it is a famous casino.
And it is famous because the composer Richard Wagner died of a heart attack here shortly after completing the opera "Parsifal" in [-].
William thought of the goblins at Gringotts.I hope that after betting with them, the old goblin will not die suddenly from a heart attack.
William would be very sad when they died.After all, if they are all dead, who will pay back the money? !
Alas, his weakness is that his heart is too soft.
This needs to be changed.
Hermione on the side had already opened the Phoenix Book and was urgently contacting Professor Dumbledore.
But unfortunately, the principal is not online.
"We're in a meeting now, he can't be here." William gently closed the Minister's masterpiece and put it aside.
It is estimated that Dumbledore was at Beauxbatons at this time, talking and laughing with Madame Maxime and Principal Karkaroff.
The headmaster didn't know that his two most proud students were already wanted by the Ministry of Magic in Venice.
Sometimes, surprises are just so unexpected.
Now that Dumbledore was away, Hermione contacted Nico in a hurry.
Luckily, Nico is online.
Even though the opening meeting of the World Cup has not yet started, he has already watched the football on the spot in a civilized manner.
That's right, Nico is a Frenchman, mixed among a group of British wizards, admiring the mascots of various countries.
"William, Hermione, did you see it?" Nicole was a little excited, and even brought an astronomical telescope.
These are all the equipment he used when he went to admire Victoria's Secret.
"That's the mascot of the Bulgarian team, a team of veela! That's great... no, I mean it's too bad, everyone is protesting!"
"Protest for what?" William looked at the group of beautiful goblins through the Phoenix book.
"Of course it's a protest against Veela. These little cuties... make everyone lose the mood to compete." Nico explained.
"You don't know, every training match, the Bulgarian team asks Veela to pose for pictures in jk suits.
Everyone is protesting and this will affect the state of other national teams. "
Well... It was a protest, but William found that the wizards were watching with gusto.
Many people were taking pictures, and more people were bewitched by Veela.
Is that how you protest?
Too tough?
"Where is the Auror, where is the Auror? Is it necessary for you? The Quidditch World Cup is doing these moves, can you do it seriously? Don't let the mascot get in the dark again!"
I don't know who got angry.
Nico also let out a groan. "Beat the fans, grab the veela!"
Someone encouraged, and a group of English wizards rushed up.Veela ran away in a flash, and they could only beat the Bulgarian fans.
A big melee broke out!
Nico himself hid his achievements and fame, turned around and left, and found a place where no one was around.
"..." You are a bad old man!
"It's okay, the Auror is watching from the side, nothing will happen." Niko laughed.
"It is said that this year's England national team training match is invincible, so that England fans can be arrested for a few days, and they can be quiet."
"How's your vacation going, did you enjoy your stay in Italy?"
"Very happy...except for the fact that we are wanted."
"Hmm... what?!"
William quickly recounted the fake Goblet of Fire.
"Missing the Goblet of Fire?" Nicol sat quietly for a long time, then let out a reluctant sigh and said:
"William, this is terrible news. From what I've learned over the years, the Goblet of Fire is... the Holy Grail!"
"Holy Grail?" William was stunned.
"That's right. The Goblet of Fire is the Holy Grail, the Goblet of Death, one of the nine Deathly Hallows."
Nico stood up and started walking up and down.He said disappointedly: "I only tracked down the whereabouts a few years ago, so I asked Albus to restart the Triwizard Tournament."
"The Goblet of Fire has always been in Venice. It's not easy for me to study it. I can only let Dumbledore bring it to Hogwarts."
"It...how could it be the Holy Grail?" William couldn't believe it.
"How is it impossible?" Nico asked, "Is the wooden box containing the Goblet of Fire still there?"
Hermione took out the old wooden box from the safety sheet.
"That's right." Nico said, "Obviously, this wooden box was made by Merlin."
"Merlin's wand is oak, so the material of the box is also oak.
In the middle of the wooden box, the M stands for Merlin and the ring represents the ring in the Deathly Hallows symbol. "
Nicole said it this way...it is indeed the case.
"How did the Holy Grail end up in Venice?" Hermione wondered.
"When Jesus died, Joseph of Arimathea buried him and brought the Holy Grail to Britain," Nicol explained.
"Later, it was kept under Stonehenge by Merlin. But with the advent of the Norman Conquest, William I occupied Britain.
The Holy Grail was sent to France by him.
Ten years after the death of William I, under the call of the Pope, the Crusades began.
In order to seek supplies for Byzantium, the Holy Grail was sent to Eastern Rome, which is the Byzantine Constantinople. "
William was startled.
Constantinople again.
Dumbledore and Grindelwald's journey ends there.
Constantinople...why is it so important?
"Do you still remember when the Triwizard Tournament was held?" Nico asked.
Hermione quickly replied, "About 700 years ago."
"Yes." Nico smiled, "The Crusades started in 1096 and ended in 1291.
During the Eastern Expedition, due to an accident, the Holy Grail went from Constantinople to Venice.
It was also at this point that the Triwizard Tournament started, and the Goblet of Fire became a tool for choosing warriors. "
Nico sighed: "This is a long and cumbersome process. I searched for a long time before I discovered the relationship between the Goblet of Fire and the Holy Grail."
"William, if the Goblet of Fire is really lost, you can only find the murderer." He asked, "Any clues?"
"We are wanted, so it's not easy to find the murderer, but... I dreamed of Death, and he may have guided the whereabouts of the Holy Grail."
William said what happened in the dream again.
The old man seemed a little excited.He gave a soothing smile.
"Sure enough, Merlin's motto appeared again: You don't have to look for the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail will come to you.
William, the god of death is guiding you, just like guiding me back then. "
"But..." William frowned and said, "I didn't understand this guide.
For example, following in the footsteps of the Doge of Venice, I don't even know which doge it refers to. "
"I know which governor it is." Nico showed a mysterious smile, "But I'm not going to tell you."
"why?"
"O man who bears the crown of wisdom,
Follow in the footsteps of the Doge of Venice. "
He has lied,
cut off the horse's head,
Take the bones of the blind man..."
Nico read it once and explained: "I can only understand the first four sentences, the bones of a blind man, I don't know who to talk about."
"I suggest you ask a real historian of magic. My major is alchemy. For some things, it's better to ask someone who is a professional."
"But, Hermione and I are wanted, where can we find the historian of magic?"
"No, there is one in Venice now." Nico smiled.
"Who?"
"Bathilda Bagshot!"
"She... doesn't she live in Godric's Hollow?" Hermione asked in surprise.
"That's right, but hasn't the weather in Italy been abnormal recently? This is not the first time in history, so she went to study it."
Nico smiled and said, "I happened to live in her home in Venice for a few days, so I know the exact location."
William looked at Nico with strange eyes.
After a while, he yelled: "Trenee, I won't go to your house anymore, let's turn around!"
Triene's heroic scolding came from the bow: "Wow!"
"what happened?"
"We are surrounded by...!"
