Gilderoy Lockhart said softly, without trying to struggle.
As one of the first Major Arcanas, he knows better than anyone else how abrupt his existence is.
In addition to him, including "Miss Fool", the other Major Arcana all possess impressive magical abilities.
Even Xenophilius Lovegood, the editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler", his true strength cannot be underestimated. After all, he knew so many magic secrets before joining the organization. If he didn't have unfathomable strength,
As a support, I have died countless times.
And in this, as a "criminal" who was forced to join the organization, his identity did not come from his strength.
Gilderoy Lockhart knew very well that his identity as the Major Arcana came more from the dangerous secrets he knew.
As the foundation of the Foundation, Destiny Group, and even Gringotts Wizarding Bank gradually stabilized, good luck could not always favor him.
Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Scamander, the three wizards choosing their respective successors is a signal.
The system of alternating inheritance between the old and the new has also begun to take shape.
Let’s not talk about Xenophilius Lovegood’s profound and inscrutable magical attainments.
The blood bond between him and the "Reserve Priestess" alone, as well as the long-standing plan revealed in the article in "The Quibbler", are enough to establish that the other party is qualified to take care of and guide those who have not fully developed after the death of the three old wizards.
The two-winged eagle's "future generations" protective umbrella.
As for the other two Major Arcana, one is an immortal alchemist and the other is an anonymous heroic spirit.
The only discordant note was Gilderoy Lockhart.
Regardless of age, status, background, or even strength and power, he is really an eyesore to the future "Age of Fools".
"How much time do I have? Miss Caslana, Miss Granger."
Gilderoy Lockhart had a calm expression, took a breath, and turned his head to look at the two witches.
There is no doubt that basilisk hunting is a large-scale hunting activity that can easily lead to "reasonable death".
With Elena and Hermione's sudden visit today, the last bit of luck in Lockhart's heart was almost shattered.
The Hyperion is currently suspended over the Black Lake. Any resistance or escape is in vain. As a high-level black-robed wizard who has personally witnessed the Hyperion's attack and commanded the local "Bulang Fang Retreat Plan", Geed
Naturally, Robert Lockhart would not let his last moments be too embarrassing.
"Eh? What time? Didn't you decide this yourself?"
Elena frowned inexplicably, looked at Hermione's searching eyes and shook her head.
"Besides, I also said that I am here with Hermione today...she just wants to get some answers."
"Professor Lockhart, have you misunderstood something?"
Hermione subconsciously curled her hair with her fingers, bit her lip, and said carefully after considering her words.
"How about we change places and continue somewhere with no one? I know this is a bit abrupt, but I think that if some problems are not solved, it will be a disaster for me, you, and even more people.
It’s a very unfair thing…”
Curly hair! Curly hair! And she bit her lip too!
Lockhart's pupils contracted violently.
His face turned pale, he hesitated for a few seconds, and then spoke softly with the last bit of luck.
"I-I want to meet Professor Dumbledore..."
"Of course, we can go to the principal's office, it's quieter there."
Elena said quickly, looking around the surrounding environment, her eyes lingering on the ghost not far away for a few seconds.
"This is not a very suitable place, right? Do you have any other unfinished arrangements here?"
Although she didn't know why Lockhart looked a little uncomfortable, she didn't plan to stay here for too long.
The ghost rider from the Headless Knights did not go far. He was floating back and forth dozens of meters away from the gate of Hogwarts. From time to time, he took advantage of the opportunity to play with his "head" and stood by the door quietly observing.
The three people seemed to feel that their actions were very secretive.
However, this is obviously too naive for "The Fool" and "The Hanged Man".
If Ulyanovsk was at the highest level of martial law back then, that guy would have been under the Forgotten Curse for two rounds.
"Uh, now? I thought it was tomorrow."
Lockhart blinked and twitched his fingers in his robes.
However, his eyes finally stopped at the necklace exposed on Elena Haobai's neck.
What was he thinking? Miss Fool, the Sandaime Demon King, and the Fairy Queen of Gringotts, how could he have the chance to resist?
It was a magic necklace blessed by the magic power of Grindelwald, Dumbledore, Flamel and other top wizards. Even Voldemort in his heyday could not break the shield with a single blow during a sneak attack, let alone him.
A kind of ordinary person with low magical power and only relying on a little cleverness to survive.
What's more important is that now he and Elena are too close.
Within two steps, Elena is almost invincible. This is the evaluation that Newt Scamander secretly told Lockhart before.
"Of course it is now. We have a holiday tomorrow and officials from the Ministry of Magic are coming."
Elena glanced at Gilderoy Lockhart inexplicably. Has this guy lost his mind again today?
At the same time, Hermione also noticed something was wrong and explained in a panic.
"Professor Lockhart, Elena said before that all your previous records have been erased. Therefore, no one except the Major Arcana knows about your past experiences. But I think,
Some things still have to be..."
Damn it, I really shouldn't have listened to this evil-minded white-haired dumpling.
How can such a question be asked so easily? A wizard as smart as Professor Lockhart must be very embarrassed now, right?
Hermione looked around evasively, and finally passed Gilderoy Lockhart's body and landed on the research institute behind him.
"Ahem, that's right."
Lockhart followed Hermione's line of sight and looked behind him, then glanced at the institute with some reluctance.
"This can be considered...a good result. At least the current situation is much better than that mouse."
I can finally say goodbye to that Russian shrew.
But this can be considered a good thing, and the nightmare is finally over.
At least in the eyes of the wizarding world and those of Muggles, Gilderoy Lockhart died as a hero.
"Rat? Peter Pettigrew? What are you talking about?"
Elena glanced at Lockhart with a strange expression, her eyes sweeping over his pale face.
At a certain moment, a ridiculous and funny guess suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Hey, wait, can you..."
Elena raised her eyebrows and looked at the despairing wizard with a mixture of laughter and laughter.
"Professor Lockhart, do you think...we are here to secretly execute you?! No, no?"
"Hey, it turns out ahem, haha, of course not, how could it be possible?"
After Lockhart was stunned for two or three seconds, he laughed dryly, his expression a little embarrassed and a little suspicious.
Unlike several other wizards who didn't know the truth, he really knew how bad this witch was. If this was just a cat-and-mouse tease, it wasn't impossible, but judging from the high probability,
It was probably because he accidentally scared himself again.
Fortunately, I didn't take action just now, otherwise I would really be asking for death!
Lockhart thought with some relief that if he had just pulled out his wand and "fighted to the death", it would have really become an execution scene now.
"Let's go and go back to the principal's office to talk in detail."
Elena glanced at Lockhart and raised her eyebrows thoughtfully.
It seems that Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s ideological transformation has been relatively successful.
Although it is easy to have random thoughts, at least it is not too threatening. Judging from the change in Lockhart's expression, her ridiculous guess just now was probably correct. However, even so, Lockhart did not do anything irrational.
This is a major plus.
Of course, on the other hand, in fact, Elena had given up her plan to "clean up" Lockhart long ago.
It is not easy for Hogwarts to produce an outstanding graduate, and a wizard like Lockhart is even more precious. She is not an unreasonable gangster.
"When the Christmas hunt is over, why don't you go to the surrounding cities to relax and take a rest?"
Elena glanced at Lockhart, thought for a while and said, "The balance between work and rest is still very important. It just so happened that the Destiny Group arranged several small fan meetings for you. Don't worry, they are all one-on-one small meetings.
Yes, you can prepare a little and change your mood."
"Don't refuse, this is one of the tasks assigned to you by the organization. You are in your thirties, so it would be best if you can get married and start a family."
Before Gilderoy Lockhart could say anything to evade, Elena waved her hand and her eyes quickly passed over the little wings beside her.
"Okay, let's talk while we walk."
"Miss Caslana," Lockhart said with a strange expression, "will you, we...arrange this?"
"This is considered a basic benefit for senior members, Professor." Elena replied briefly.
At the same time, Hermione finally guessed something from the conversation between Elena and Lockhart.
Hermione turned around silently and followed Lockhart and Elena towards the castle. Her mood was extremely complicated for a moment.
Before coming here, she had imagined many situations, but the only thing she didn't realize was that Professor Lockhart's status in the Major Arcana and his fear of Elena were so outrageous. Maybe she wouldn't
It’s time to make some detours, and it would be better to just go straight like Elena, right?
However, what are the basic benefits for senior members?
Hermione glanced in confusion at The Fool and The Hanged Man, who were talking quietly.
What does this mean? The Major Arcana Rules and Rights Brief she had read before did not include this article?
If Professor Lockhart as the "Hanged Man" would be involved in this benefit, then theoretically speaking, as the "Reserve Justice", as well as Luna and Hannah, should also be involved in this... But, then
what is it?
It was obvious that the secret of the Major Arcana was not as simple as she imagined.
She silently recorded the conversation between Elena and Professor Lockhart in her mind, preparing to ask questions slowly and little by little later.
