The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 152 The Final Twist: The Elf Queen's Reverse Confession!

"Wait, wait! You said your original body might have gone to Japan?" Moriarty suddenly remembered, "Weren't you imprisoned in the oak tree by Vivian?"

"She did imprison me, but it was a sneak attack when I wasn't on guard," Merlin said, looking indignant.

"And you know, women, well, there are always those days—um… when they get emotional and irritable, especially female elves!" He winked at this point.

"Besides, Dracula's viral magic infected Vivian, and under those circumstances, she's capable of anything."

Merlin sighed softly, seemingly reminiscing about his former lover.

"However, I know a spell that combines ancient Elvish, ancient Dragon, and ancient Greek, so I successfully slipped out of the oak tree." Merlin laughed happily.

"But Vivian didn't know this; she thought she could keep me by her side forever."

He shrugged, cast a detached glance toward the forest, and ended this sad yet slightly comical story.

"You're quite the charmer!" Moriarty gave Merlin a mocking look; this man had completely outmaneuvered Vivian, the Lake Nymph. "Don't worry, I'll keep this a secret for you. I solemnly promise I won't tell anyone about Merlin's deeds."

"Haha!" Merlin laughed so hard his shoulders shook. Moriarty found that he was not like the gloomy dark wizard described in the story. Instead, he could feel vitality and energy from him at any time.

This feeling is somewhat similar to the first time I met Dracula. Dracula felt the same way; perhaps he was imitating Merlin.

Thinking of Dracula, Moriarty's gaze fell on Dracula's head. "I think, to eliminate any future threat, we should destroy him."

"Yes," Merlin nodded in agreement, then laughed again: "Back then, Dracula's strength was equal to mine. I couldn't completely destroy the virus magic, so I could only seal it away."

Things are different now; you've appeared.

When you uttered the spell "Sleepless Dragon" in Dragon Language, I knew you must be the best Slytherin—a long time ago, Master Salazar praised me the same way, haha, maybe next time we should make him add "one of"!

Never trust the word "best," right? As your Slytherin senior, I'd love to witness your magic, junior. Please.

Merlin tossed Dracula's head into the air, and Moriarty waved his staff, causing water and wind elemental magic to surge simultaneously.

In the next instant, the sunlight was swept away by the gale, the warm temperature plummeted, and the grassland, flowerbeds, forests, and sacred lake were completely transformed into a world of ice and snow!

The howling wind and icy sleet formed a chaotic storm, transforming into a large, crystal-blue, transparent serpent. The serpent opened its mouth and spewed a mouthful of icy flames towards the head.

"Bang!"

Absolute zero ice and fire collided with his head, countless wind blades shredded his head into minced meat, and gusts of cold wind blew by until Dracula's head completely disappeared.

Moriarty's mind was immediately filled with the pleasant notification from the system:

"Ding-dong~ It has been detected that the host personally destroyed Dracula's head. The host is rewarded with 50 points!"

The system has detected that the host has fused water and wind elemental magic to create their own spell. Congratulations on leveling up! You have become a level 43 Water Mage and a level 25 Novice Wizard (Wind).

Moriarty gained many insights during the battle, so leveling up was only natural.

The 50 points were beyond his expectations; now he could exchange them for a lot more magic.

"A brilliant blend of magic!"

A round of applause erupted, and Moriarty looked at Merlin, who said with a smile, "So you've embarked on the path of elemental magic. No wonder you're not afraid of Dracula. You probably don't know, but Professor Salazar has a research project on elemental magic!"

He and the other three leaders jointly developed the four elements—water, fire, earth, and wind—corresponding to the characteristics of their respective academies.

Moriarty's eyes lit up. Earth element? Another type of elemental magic has been added!

So far, he knows of five elements: water, fire, wind, thunder, and earth, but there are definitely more than five.

"Our ancestor left behind a diary, but it doesn't mention elemental magic." Moriarty wanted to know more, but Merlin's expression changed, and he frowned as he looked towards the forest.

"The elves have arrived," he said solemnly.

A soft green light rose into the air from the center of the forest, then spread outwards, forming a circle. Wherever it passed, the ice and snow melted and the cold currents receded!

Moriarty narrowed his eyes. He had seen this kind of magic on Diana before. Could it be...?

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

A whooshing sound rang out, and countless tall, thin figures appeared in the bushes, densely packed, squatting on tree branches and standing on the ground.

Without exception, they all had golden hair and...pointed ears!

Elf.

Moriarty looked at them indifferently; the man was handsome, and the woman was charming.

The males were far fewer than the females. Most elves carried a small bow, had a quiver on their back filled with silver arrows, and a large bow placed under the quiver.

Merlin snorted: "An elven ranger."

"Elves," Moriarty said slowly, raising his staff, "if you dare raise your bows and arrows at me, I bet you'll be blown to bits like that damned head."

Moriarty's dissatisfaction with the elves was long-standing. The forest had been polluted by Dracula, yet the elves remained indifferent, waiting for Moriarty to resolve the issue.

And what about Lilith and Jericho?

"Are my friends in your hands?" Moriarty's voice turned dangerous as he walked towards the forest. Magic gathered, leaving deep footprints that then froze, forming icy pits and creating a path paved with ice.

"Lilith and Jericho are safe, you don't need to worry." A beautiful voice rang out, and the elves parted to make way for Diana to step out!

She wore a long black dress made of sheer fabric, revealing her breasts and exposed, snow-white shoulders and beautiful arms, with only a pair of small black gloves covering her hands.

Her long legs were encased in sheer black stockings, and she still wore silver high heels, exuding sexiness and allure.

The only difference was that her long blonde hair was adorned with a wreath of black roses, her lips were painted with black rose lipstick, and her ten fingernails were bright purple, which gave her an extra touch of cold elegance and charm compared to usual.

"They are, after all, my students. I won't do anything to them," Diana said lazily, glancing at Moriarty with a possessive look that made him very uncomfortable.

But she quickly turned her gaze to Merlin, "But you—Merlin the Liar, Merlin the Thief! You'll pay the price."

Merlin took a few steps without changing his expression and calmly said, "You are Vivian's successor, the Lady of the Lake and Queen of the Elves of this generation?"

"That's right, I am Vivian's personal disciple. I happened to be there the day you abandoned your teacher!" Lilith's eyes flashed with anger.

"You learned elven magic from your teacher, took the holy sword from the lake, and stole your teacher's heart!"

But in the end, he abandoned his teacher and left?

Hehehe! Have you thought about the consequences?!

Lilith laughed loudly, a laugh that was both deadly and incredibly alluring. All the male elves knelt down to look at her, as if they wanted to kiss her toes.

"I watched as the teacher imprisoned you in the oak tree, thinking that by possessing your body she would possess your heart."

But she was wrong. You escaped using a spell you learned from our elves. The teacher knew that, but she couldn't bring herself to harm you—she couldn't. She spent her days in tears!

I'll show you what the teacher looks like in a moment, don't be surprised.

So you know what's going to happen to you next, right?

Diana smiled slightly, staring intently at Merlin.

Hibiscus's allure paled in comparison, yet Moriarty remained unmoved, his icy gaze fixed on Diana.

"You already knew that the helmetless armor was Dracula! And you also knew that 'Sleeping Dragon, Do Not Disturb' refers to Merlin!"

So when Dracula's head unleashed viral magic to infect the forest, you knew your chance had come.

If Dracula wants to break free, he will inevitably have to fight Merlin.

If Merlin wins, you reappear to avenge your teacher; if Dracula wins, you can appear just in time for the moment Dracula's head and body are about to reassemble.

After all, we all know that Dracula with a head and Dracula without a head are two vampires.

So you deliberately came to Hogwarts as a professor, guiding us to unravel the mystery of the Headless Horseman's identity, and deliberately allowed yourself to be controlled by Dracula!

After Dracula entered Avalon, you followed him in and watched as I summoned Merlin and defeated Dracula.

"A wonderful plan, but what bothers me is that if you're seeking revenge for your teacher, just go find Merlin. This whole charade makes me think you have ulterior motives towards me."

Moriarty subtly moved to the right, away from Merlin, whose eyes widened in disbelief. "You little brat, you really are a Slytherin!"

"After all, you're the one who caused this mess. Since you can become an avatar, why don't you stay and keep Vivian company? Send your avatar to find a way to resurrect Arthur." Moriarty shrugged.

"Women are nothing compared to Arthur!" Merlin exclaimed excitedly.

"Fine, a mere woman?" Diana was furious. "I'll show you what a teacher has become!"

She snapped her fingers with a "click," and a green light flew to the sacred lake. The lake water made a "glug-glug" sound as a huge creature climbed up!

"Merlin, watch closely," Diana said angrily, then looked at Moriarty and immediately changed her expression.

"Moriarty, do you really not know who I'm fighting for? I'm not just an elven priestess, but also the queen of the ancient elves!"

Each Elf Queen could only have one man, and once she chose him, she would never regret it or let go!

Like my teacher, I chose to become a wizard. She chose Merlin, and I chose you!

Diana's face flushed, she shifted slightly, squeezed her legs together, and her eyes sparkled with desire, but all of this was fleeting.

She turned cold. "I know you won't stay with me in Avalon obediently, so I'm sorry, I'll imprison you like my teacher did, locking you by my side!"
