Prove... that you are qualified to carry the identity of the Major Arcana?
Elena looked deeply at Lockhart, does this guy still have such awareness now?
Although in essence, the motivation seems to be just to show off in front of the major arcana, but we have to admit that if we put aside the impulsiveness and impracticality of the plan, compared to the weak and vain liar author in the past, the current Luo
Hart is more likeable.
"Wait, you mean... there is really a way for a werewolf to turn back into a human? Where?! What's the cure rate?"
At this moment, McIntosh and other werewolf wizards who were watching this strange interrogation finally couldn't restrain their curiosity and asked hurriedly.
"In Salzburg, Austria, there is a newly established hospital for magical illnesses and injuries. A group of the top doctors and therapists in the magical and non-magical world have gathered inside to solve all kinds of difficult diseases in the world - or rather
Those 'terminal illnesses'."
"For example, the malignant dragon plague syphilis, the wizard's death, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, various malignant tumors..."
"Wolfism is just one of the targets to conquer."
"However, although there are cases of successful cures, there is no problem in reproducing the theory. However, the cost is too high, and the requirements for healers and magic materials are also quite high. It is still in the laboratory stage and cannot be promoted clinically."
"As for the cure rate, from what I've learned before, it's currently 100% - huh huh -"
"Keep your mouth shut."
Elena raised her right index finger and moved it lightly towards Lockhart casually.
The blond young wizard's explanation stopped abruptly, and his upper and lower lips seemed to be tightly glued together by something.
"When listening to the story, please keep quiet... Of course, the story should end here."
Elena gracefully gestured "hush" to the werewolf wizards around her, and then turned her head to look at Lockhart again.
"Your adventurous spirit is very commendable. I have a general understanding of your motivations and thoughts. Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, you still have a long way to go before shouldering the title of Major Arcana. In addition to courage,
In addition to ambition and ambition, there is also wisdom and reliability..."
To be honest, Lockhart's "big gamble" this time was a bit beyond her expectation.
However, rather than encouraging and affirming this guy's growth, Elena believes that "corporate culture" and "responsibility" training must be strengthened first.
The cost of the Hyperion's jump and the issuance of Level 1 alert...these are not the eight hundred Valentine's Day cards from Lockhart's time at Hogwarts, or the dozens of meters printed on the Quidditch pitch.
Ordinary things like a squiggle signature, if this guy comes "crying wolf" every once in a while, he may be torn apart by angry goblins and wizards before the Council of the Major Arcana gives an order.
Of course, these matters will have to wait until we return and gather those old men to discuss them.
In front of all the werewolves, Elena would not bully one of her own - Lockhart is now considered a hostage to be rescued.
"This is the antidote to Veritaserum. Drink it all."
Elena waved her hand to unblock the "forbidden words", took out a reinforced glass test tube from the storage compartment on her chest and threw it to Lockhart.
"I almost understand the situation. Once the remaining matters are dealt with, we will leave immediately——"
"The rest? Miss, you--"
Lockhart hurriedly took the potion thrown by Elena and asked subconsciously.
"Shut up. Just watch quietly. It won't take too long -"
Elena said softly, turning her head to look at the werewolf wizards standing not far away, with a flash of danger in her eyes.
"Since you still regard yourselves as 'human beings', you must abide by the rules of 'human society'. The Cruciatus Curse is one of the three unforgivable curses recognized in the magic world. Once any spell is used on a person, it will
Facing life in the Wizarding Prison of Azkaban.”
"In view of your special status, I can grant you some immunity - let's count it as an out-of-court settlement."
"All the wizards who have cast the Cruciatus Curse on Gilderoy Lockhart just now, please hand over your wands. I will not hold you accountable today."
"Otherwise...according to current international regulations, you may have to spend the rest of your life in a magic prison..."
Elena said in a calm tone, spread her hands and fingers, and said seriously.
"I'll give you ten seconds to think about it."
"Ten, nine, eight——"
Antilicia McIntosh and others were stunned for half a second and exchanged strange looks with each other.
Although I don’t know the true identity of the wizard under this magic armor, judging from the voice and body shape, she is probably young, at most a girl between seventeen and eighteen years old, and she is also petite and relatively immature.
——Maybe not even an adult yet.
"Ha-where did this crazy girl come from-"
Antilicia McIntosh shook her head with a dumb smile, her wand swinging carelessly in the air.
For a moment, she thought Lockhart was really an important member of some amazing organization.
Now it seems that that guy is more like joining an ancient magic family and becoming a servant to serve one of its members - the eldest lady? This word is enough for her to analyze a lot of things. After learning from Lockhart that "hope"
"After that, she changed her mind.
"Where do you think this is? The wizarding court? Or the halls of the Ministry of Magic?"
"Perhaps your strange magic armor can let you fly and protect you from teeth and claws, but it is not omnipotent after all. It seems that you don't understand who has the final say in this forest - wait for me
Take off your armor and you will understand what politeness is -"
"Get started, grab that girl, and give her a taste of the pain."
Antilicia McIntosh said sharply and winked at the werewolf wizards around her.
Even if there is no way to get the magic potion to turn the werewolf back into a human for the time being, this magical armor that has never been seen before should be able to help all of them buy a month or two of wolfsbane potion on the black market, not to mention
explain……
This hostage is obviously more valuable than Lockhart!
"well--"
Elena sighed helplessly, which was one of the reasons why she did not support Lockhart.
She really understands the cruel side of human nature. In the face of survival, kindness and order are almost not worth mentioning.
Unlike those helpless scientific researchers and veterans of the former Soviet Union, these werewolves may be worthy of pity, but they will never be harmless little white rabbits to be slaughtered. If they were not cruel, fierce, and despicable, they would be alive long ago.
Not today.
For such "beasts" living in the shadows, they value immediate interests more than illusory long-term hopes.
After all, for them, maybe after today, there will be no tomorrow.
Fortunately, Elena still has a lot of experience in how to make others listen to her reason calmly.
Elena looked around at the werewolves with evil expressions flashing around them, and whispered in a calm tone.
