The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 140 The Truth About the Headless Vampire Ancestor!

Everyone's expression changed drastically, a sense of foreboding washing over them. Tonks tied her long hair into a ponytail, her face unusually serious: "With Headmaster Dumbledore in charge of Hogwarts, how could anything happen to the school?"

"Unless the headmaster is away on business." Leon frowned. The pure-blooded Slytherins were not very close to Dumbledore, but they still acknowledged the white wizard's strength.

Dumbledore was like an unbreakable pillar; with him around, the sky could not fall.

Everyone had complete faith in Moriarty, but doubts kept popping up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Marcus brought the Poker family along, and Moriarty hurriedly mounted the King and took to the air.

"Hurry up! We'll discuss the details on the way." A loud voice came from mid-air.

Without hesitation, everyone mounted their mounts and followed Moriarty into the sky.

The old Jew and Isaac ran out, staring dumbfounded at the sky. The old Jew wanted to explain to Moriarty the reason for remaining neutral, but he couldn't even see Moriarty's shadow.

"Kunlan is dead..."

The old Jew walked up to the bloodstains left by Quinlan, his eyes flashing with a strange light, which eventually turned into a look of helplessness and a sigh.

"Those old guys are getting restless!"

Isaac couldn't understand his grandfather's words. He looked up and searched for Moriarty in the air.

However, the hippogriffs flew very fast, soaring into the sky in the blink of an eye, and Moriarty heard the system's voice in his mind.

"Ding-dong~ It has been detected that the host has killed the vampire grand duke, Kao Quinlan, the old patriarch of the Quinlan family. 15000 points have been awarded."

The host has been detected to have discovered viral magic. The host is rewarded with five achievement draws.

Moriarty accepted the points and saved them up for the lottery.

He doesn't have time to participate in the lottery right now!

Deep in Quinlan's memory, the headless vampire progenitor was originally named Dracula, also known as Nicholas, the latter name being widely circulated among Muggles.

The name fits the description of the Headless Horseman, but what happens next is quite different from the story told by the Headless Horseman.

Dracula is a pure-blooded vampire born in an unknown era. He was originally just a vampire viscount with a head.

One day, Dracula accidentally discovered a piece of tree bark, which was imbued with a strange magic that was constantly altering Dracula's body and brain, as well as his magical and mental abilities.

The era of King Arthur's rise to power has arrived, and Dracula has risen to the rank of Duke within the vampire community.

During a conflict between King Arthur and the underworld, Merlin killed Dracula's blood relative.

From that moment on, Dracula and Merlin became enemies.

For the next thirty years, Dracula continued to cause trouble for Merlin. In his battles with Dracula, Merlin discovered that Dracula possessed a kind of magic that could disturb people's minds and incite negative emotions.

Merlin, with his vast knowledge, realized that this magic could only be sealed using alchemy.

So they visited the elves in Lake Avalon.

Queen Vivian of the Elves told Merlin that three conditions were required to seal Dracula's magic.

First, be familiar with the languages ​​of the dragons and elves.

Second, a master alchemist is needed.

Third, one person must possess both of the above advantages simultaneously, and also be exceptionally gifted.

Merlin knew that the person Vivian was talking about was him. He had mastered Dragon and Elvish languages, displayed unimaginable talent, and ushered in a new era of alchemy.

Alchemy: Brain Dimension Space.

After Merlin completed his studies, he returned to the court and joined forces with King Arthur to set a trap. When Dracula attacked again, he used magic to make everyone in the court kill each other.

Seeing the chaos in the palace, Dracula looked smug. He ordered King Arthur to draw his sword from the lake and charge at Merlin, King Arthur's closest companion!

But King Arthur pierced his neck with a sword and beheaded him!

It turns out that Merlin used his powerful mental dimension to shroud the palace, and everything that happened was just Dracula's illusion!

Merlin used elven magic to seal Dracula's headless corpse inside a battle-hardened suit of armor.

To prevent Dracula's magic from harming humanity, Merlin used alchemy to seal the magic, along with Dracula's head, in Lake Avalon.

Merlin never expected that Vivian had fallen in love with him long ago!

Out of selfishness, Vivian trapped Merlin inside a thousand-year-old oak tree.

Let's go back a few months...

The vampires are relentlessly targeting elves, leprechauns, fairies, and even house-elves!

They're taking revenge! Several vampire grand dukes across Europe have simultaneously received a call from Avalon!

The vampire dukes knew perfectly well that it was the call of the vampire ancestor!

The Vampire Ancestor said that the seal on his head was weakening, based on the fact that the elves of Avalon were affected by viral magic, becoming dull, disgusted with life, and showing signs of killing each other.

Vampires have a strong sense of class, and if a vampire ancestor can be rescued, the status of the immortal race in the dark world will be greatly improved.

The vampire dukes had no idea how Dracula escaped King Arthur's sword or how he rose from duke to "ancestor".

You should know that above a duke is a "prince"! And above a prince is an "ancestor".

According to Moriarty's calculations, the Grand Duke's strength surpasses that of the four Headmasters, second only to Dumbledore.

The Prince's strength is equal to Dumbledore's; he is a powerful being on par with Voldemort and Grindelwald.

But it has been over two thousand years since a vampire prince was born. Who knows what happened to Dracula that turned him into "Zu".

No, even ghosts wouldn't know.

The vampire dukes were merely following orders from the vampire clan.

The task is for vampires across Europe to locate Avalon and, by any means necessary, find Dracula's head and break the seal on it!

That's why the vampires went crazy causing trouble for the elves, all in an attempt to find out the exact location of Avalon.

The vampires also revealed that Dracula's magic is called viral magic, which can be transmitted through blood.

Several dukes drank a little blood provided by the vampires and then learned some viral magic.

The sonic attack Quinlan used on Moriarty in the mental space was one of them.

However, they are not Dracula after all, and their magical power is less than one or two percent of Dracula's.

Here, another vampire is mentioned.

If it wasn't Moriarty himself who used Legilimency on Quinlan, but someone else...

Moriarty would likely give him a "forget everything" treatment, saying, "This guy's gone mad. Make him forget everything and then send him to the hospital."

Even if that person is Lockhart!

However, the vampires were what Moriarty had actually seen, and their immense power and strength secretly alarmed him.

It turns out there really is a group of people in the underworld who manipulate fate like rolling dice and control the world's operation!

However, Moriarty had no time to think carefully at this moment. Dracula's head was in Avalon, but the whereabouts of Dracula's headless body were unknown!

Vivian locked Merlin in the oak tree and never left it.

Dracula's vampires searched tirelessly for his headless corpse, but to no avail, finding not a single clue...

The story of the headless vampire ancestor ends here; Moriarty then tells these tales to the purebloods.

He then told the purebloods everything about his night outing with Lilith and Jericho, their encounter with the Headless Horseman, the four incidents that happened at school, the Headless Horseman's story about the Headless Vampire Ancestor, and so on.

Everyone's mouths gaped open, especially Leon's; Moriarty felt like he had a small sheep's head stuffed into his mouth.

And then there's Charlie, his brow furrowed, constantly rubbing his red hair; Moriarty was afraid he'd go bald by the time he got back.

Jericho's expression remained relatively normal, but his face was unpredictable. "Sir, the headless vampire ancestor in Quinlan's memory and the headless knight's account of the headless vampire ancestor are vastly different."

"That's right." Moriarty let out a deep breath, his gaze solemn. "So? I now suspect that the Headless Horseman is the Headless Vampire Ancestor!"

Or rather, the headless horseman is the headless corpse of the headless vampire ancestor that the vampires can never find!

Merlin's seal can no longer contain the Headless Horseman. If the Headless Horseman unleashes his viral magic, Hogwarts will have fallen!

Thank you Yang Chaolan for the tip, thank you.
