Chapter 899 Nick's story

"Cromwell? The... Lord Protector who executed the Muggle King?"

Dumbledore frowned and whispered in shock.

He had not studied the history of the non-magical world deeply, and only had a vague general impression: about three hundred years ago, a man named Cromwell forced the King of England to abdicate, dissolved Parliament, and even ended up

He was sentenced to death for "treason" - this was the first and only king in history to be executed for "treason".

"No wonder, Nicholas, the victory of the people? It certainly suits you."

Under the influence of dazzling magical power, it is easy for people to overlook Dumbledore's other outstanding talent.

Apart from Newt Scamander, it is difficult to find another wizard in the wizarding world who can be compared with Albus Dumbledore in the field of language and writing. If we extrapolate based on the conclusion, it is easy for him to make associations by following the name.

.

Nikolaos, this word comes from ancient Greece.

It is actually a phrase, νικη(niko), λαο(laos), which respectively symbolize the people and victory.

In fact, this name was not that common in medieval England.

"Well, it's not that one--"

Elena scratched her cheek and glanced at "Sir Nicholas" who also looked shocked.

Ghosts do not deliberately understand historical changes after death. As far as Elena knows, ghosts usually choose to separate themselves from their past relatives and life circles, so as not to affect the normal life trajectory of living people too much.

.

Obviously, a certain staunch "royalist" did not know the great achievements made by his descendants.

"It was Oliver Cromwell who executed Charles I, and Mr. Nick, I mean Mr. Richard, Thomas Cromwell's nephew, happened to be Oliver Cromwell's great-grandfather - well, I might have

Forgot to say——"

Elena glanced at Nick who was hesitant to speak, then thought for a moment and quickly added.

"It can be considered a cycle of cause and effect. The way Charles I died is the same as the way Henry VIII executed you."

"...Ms. Kaslana, you did a thorough job in your investigation."

The almost headless Nick took a deep look at Elena and whispered meaningfully.

"Those information and wills should be scattered in various corners. I'm curious how you collected them?"

"This is what I've always wanted to know."

Dumbledore shrugged his shoulders and smiled thoughtfully.

"Miss Kaslana, can your prophecy allow you to see into the past?"

"No, this is another ability of mine——"

Elena winked cutely, snapped her fingers, and whispered proudly.

"Money. Or...the power of capital."

She walked to the cooking table and read "The Ghosts of Hogwarts", "The Tudors", "British Puritan Studies", "Cromwell Property Change Records", and "Gringotts Sleep Account Inquiry" in order.

》...put them all on the table.

"Destiny sponsored the Premier League some time ago and became the first shareholder of this emerging sports project - as a kind businessman to stimulate employment and save the Great Depression, the government is happy to meet some of our simple requests. As for Gringotts, these records

It will be retained forever, so don’t underestimate the goblins’ obsession in this regard.”

"As I once said, when a mortal walks through, there must be traces..."

Elena glanced at "Sir Nicholas" who was deep in thought and said sweetly.

"But don't worry, all this information is now in my hands - all the omissions you accidentally left before can now be patched - of course, before that, you may have to briefly introduce that period of history...

"

"In this era, has the power of capital become so powerful?"

The almost headless Nick pondered for a moment and sighed softly with complicated emotions.

Strictly speaking, the capitalization of the modern world is still based on his reforms and legislation back then.

"I understand, so let me briefly talk about something - what is written in the books, or what is not written."

Then he began to tell them the past events exactly as they were.

Nick spoke for about a quarter of an hour. Everyone listened very attentively, and the kitchen was completely silent.

He talked about how the battle between the non-magical world and the magical world was still going on in his day, and how he worked hard to convince Henry VIII to use the rules of the non-magical world to successfully drive out the influence of the Holy See; he also talked about

, how the ideological dispute between him and the former Queen Anne ended the dispute more gently; he even talked about how when he chose to establish a parliament, reshape the legal system, and let the non-magical world control its own future, magic

world, the final revenge of the Holy See united...

"It's very remarkable." When he paused, Professor Dumbledore clapped softly. "Sticking to what you think is the right position in front of your friends and camp - I have to say that you are a well-deserved Gryffindor -

—But I don't understand why these respectable stories have been buried, Sir Nicholas?"

Nick took a deep look at Nico Flamel, took a breath, and continued.

He told Dumbledore that this was the final result negotiated by all the top wizards at the time. They could not let future generations think that wizards had the ability to interfere and control the huge Muggle country - this would inevitably lead to rapid corruption at some point in the future.

.

There can be no more war between the magical world and the non-magical world, between wizards and Muggles.

In the more than two hundred years before Nick was born, the human world experienced the most painful and heaviest secret war.

Countless wizarding families lost their children, and hundreds of millions of innocent Muggles also lost their lives in the subsequent revenge. Hatred was like a spinning quagmire, devouring countless lives-until the appearance of the Sorcerer's Stone barely ended this meaningless war.

of struggle.

"Philosopher's Stone?" Dumbledore frowned and looked at Nico Flamel inquiringly.

"I'm not the only one in this world who owns the magic stone..."

Nico Flamel looked away uncomfortably, looking at the [Magician] in his hand in trance.

"Unlike some young people, I chose to escape at the first opportunity - the only comforting thing is that perhaps the 'devil' gift of the Sorcerer's Stone played a vital role at that special time. And when it was almost over,

When the dust settled, we had to hide it again: the attraction for that gem was too great for everyone.”

Elena's eyes flickered.

Sure enough, I didn’t expect that there would be extra gains today!

Ever since she learned about Paracelsus' experience, she had been wondering about the reason why the Black Death had magically disappeared.

Judging from the current situation, it does come from the power of the Philosopher's Stone - as the famous "Beak Doctor" in the Middle Ages and the founder of the healing spell, Paracelsus' reputation in the field of healers is comparable to that of alchemy.

There are too many.

Because of this, Elena did not call all members together for the "new member" entrance interview.

If Grindelwald could still get away with it before, then he won't be able to continue acting when faced with this kind of recall session.

At the same time, Nick's voice became hesitant.

He had been avoiding mentioning the present and the future - mentioning Miss Kaslana.

At this moment, the little witch who had found all the truth was standing there. She listened to his story with great interest, just like a patient judge listening to the lawyers' speeches and waiting for him to give a final conclusion.

If you refuse at this time, maybe you can get everything back to its original track?

Nick thought carefully.

His era is over... How can he confirm that the anticipated world fusion node will really be opened in the hands of this little witch? More than fifty years ago, Dumbledore failed to do it.

at this point.

Nick subconsciously turned his attention to Dumbledore.

I saw the headmaster of Hogwarts smiling faintly, and the firelight flashed quickly on his half-moon lenses.

"What I'm most interested in right now," Dumbledore said gently, "is what reason Miss Caslana used to persuade you to give up your original plan, and what field you subsequently entered. As far as I know, it seems

It’s not in the plan, right?”

Dumbledore's eyes shot down from his long aquiline nose and fell on Elena's face.

This was not the first time Dumbledore had encountered such a sudden attack.

According to Mugu Liduo's understanding of Elena Kaslana, the methods that this white-haired dumpling is best at using are mostly the old favorite methods of the Dark Lords: coercion, inducement...or, direct deception.



"Well, you are right, I threatened Mr. Nick."

Facing Dumbledore's oppressive gaze, Elena admitted openly.

"If he is willing to help me solve the problem, then starting from tomorrow, 'Nearly Headless Nick' will die - and will be replaced by the reappearance of Thomas Cromwell, or the Earl of Essex. Gringotts

A statement will be issued announcing the discovery of a dusty property to be transferred, and any wizard who provides relevant clues will be rewarded..."

"Of course, before that, I believe the ghosts will also get new information."

Elena raised the corners of her mouth, the little hair on her head swayed arrogantly from side to side, and whispered casually.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk - in order to remain anonymous, the plot has been laid out for hundreds of years, just to cover up the wizard's past victory. I wonder how many people will be surprised by this story? How many ancient magic families will speak out because of this?"

"...I don't understand, Miss Kaslana, is it really necessary to do this?"

Dumbledore said calmly, rubbing his brows a little tiredly.

"There is unprecedented power gathered around you. This is a powerful force that I have never seen before - it is even enough to overturn the Ministry of Magic in an instant and achieve the ambition that Voldemort has spent decades unable to achieve. Even so, you

We are still continuously accumulating more top wizards using various unsettling and unexpected methods..."
