The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 318 The Legend of Immortality of the Vampires

Moriarty counted them; there were twelve vampires in total. He then asked Violet, "Who's the last one?"

As Violet gasped for breath, she said the last one was the extinct vampire clan, Cappadocia.

The one who destroyed Cappadocia was none other than Dracula.

Then, naturally, he replaced Cappadocia's position in the vampire clan, becoming the only vampire without territory or servants, but the most powerful ancestor among vampires and even the entire vampire clan.

Even in the history of vampires, he is an extremely rare existence, with strength that rivals that of Cain, the universally acknowledged ancestor of vampires.

Violet said that the most powerful being among all the vampire clans is the Prince, and she had never heard of any vampire clan giving birth to an Ancestor.

Moriarty couldn't help but be surprised. Last year, he had traveled to most parts of Europe and killed the headless vampire ancestor in Avalon, who turned out to be one of the thirteen leaders of the vampires.

I remember that in the Duke of Quinlan's memory there was a piece of Dracula's past: Dracula's viral magic came from a piece of tree bark.

This piece of bark made Dracula go from viscount to duke.

Later, Dracula was beheaded by Merlin's scheme. For some unknown reason, Dracula escaped from King Arthur's sword and went from being a duke to becoming the ancestor!

Moriarty asked Violet when Cappadocia was destroyed, and Violet said she didn't know, as she hadn't been born yet.

Moriarty was somewhat disappointed. If Cappadocia had perished after Dracula was beheaded, it might have left clues about Dracula becoming the progenitor of vampires.

With a slight sigh, and her hand speed slowed down, Violet became restless and snuggled into Moriarty's arms like a kitten.

"I suspect you're using me, but I have no proof." Violet shifted to a more alluring pose and chuckled, "So you'd better go all out."

Moriarty had no choice but to grant her request and sincerely exclaimed how wonderful it was.

"By the way, you mentioned earlier that there's a legend of immortality circulating within the Camarilla?"

Violet hummed in agreement and began to speak to Moriarty in fits and starts.

The story goes back to a very, very long time ago.

There were no wizards back then.

The magical world is dominated by magical creatures.

A Hebrew was captured by a vampire.

The Hebrews did not want to be sucked blood, nor did they want to submit to vampires.

In order to survive, the Hebrews gave up everything they had in exchange for their lives.

One of them is a prophecy of immortality.

The prophecy says that by collecting the seven sacred objects and using them with the key, one can open the door to eternal life and become a god!

The vampire immediately drained the Hebrew's blood!

As long as they are not killed, each vampire can live for thousands of years, and their desire for immortality is not as strong as that of humans.

The prophecy of immortality failed to sway the vampires.

This incident should have been forgotten, but not long after, the vampires began to have a hard time.

Long-lived creatures are typically solitary among magical beings, making them vulnerable to attacks from other races, such as werewolves, giants, and elves.

Vampires are a dark race and are often targeted by races that pride themselves on being light and righteous, such as griffins and dragons.

The Vatican's pursuit and attacks once brought the vampires to the brink of collapse. If it weren't for the fact that the first human to awaken magic displayed magic and was thus hunted down as a heretic by the Vatican, relieving some of the pressure on the vampires, the vampire race would have become extinct.

At this point, Violet pitifully said that if the vampires were wiped out, Moriarty would never see her again, and begged Moriarty to be even more ruthless!

Vampires and bloodlines, facing a life-or-death situation, recall the Hebrew prophecy of eternal life.

Even vampires who were originally uninterested in immortality began searching for the seven sacred relics and the key, because vampires wanted to become gods!

In reality, most vampires aren't interested in becoming gods, but they desperately want to reverse their passive situation. Becoming a god means possessing immense power, allowing them to easily wash away the humiliation suffered by vampires.

As time has passed, modern vampires have forgotten their past suffering, and the prophecy of immortality has become a legend.

However, the thirteen vampires did not forget, and attributed the cause of this phenomenon to the increase in the number of hybrid vampires.

Thus, the vampires became the true rulers of the vampire world, and ordinary vampires were unaware of their existence.

Violet recounted a magnificent chapter in the history of vampires, and as she finished, her confinement for the day also came to an end.

Violet looked at it.

Fearing to displease Moriarty, they hesitated and refused to leave.

Violet pounced on Moriarty like a cat seeing delicious fish, and clung to him like a koala.

"Okay, tomorrow."

It took them quite a while before they reluctantly left.

The door slammed shut, leaving Moriarty alone in the single bedroom, where he wore an unprecedentedly grim expression.

Moriarty pulled a notebook from his desk. Violet's scent still lingered on the desk.

Moriarty opened his notebook and began reading a passage from his notes.

"Around 1500 years ago, Merlin learned of the prophecy of immortality in his search for a way to resurrect King Arthur."

"About a thousand years ago, Salazar learned of the prophecy of eternal life while fleeing the Papacy."

"Three years ago, I learned of the prophecy of immortality from a Japanese black wizard in Dongzang, China."

"In mid-August, I spoke with Salazar's spirit and learned that a necessary condition for achieving immortality is a key."

"At the end of August, I traveled to Japan. I confirmed that the BOSS of the Immortal Organization was in Japan, and that the second-in-command of the Immortal Organization was responsible for contacting the Japanese black wizard."

Note: The true identity of the Japanese BOSS is suspected to be Yoru Kageyu, who once served as a professor at the magic academy.

This is Moriarty's notebook, prepared for the prophecy of immortality and the organization of immortality, where he specifically recorded the information he found.

After listening to Violet's account, Moriarty began to write down another note.

"Following the era when magical creatures ruled the world, the vampires learned of the prophecy of immortality from the Hebrews."

This section is placed before the section on "1500 years ago," meaning that the prophecy of immortality appeared even earlier than 1500 years ago!

Moriarty originally believed that the Japanese boss was the mastermind behind the prophecy of immortality, but now it seems that the Hebrews are the biggest masterminds behind the whole incident!

The earliest prophecies of immortality included becoming a god, but from 1500 years ago onwards, the prophecies of immortality only mentioned achieving immortality, not becoming a god!

Moriarty had a hunch that the vampires had been tricked, set up by the Hebrews, and were working for the Hebrews for nothing!

Moriarty even began to doubt the veracity of the prophecy of immortality.

— Collect the seven sacred objects, and with the help of the key, open the door to eternal life and become a god.

The prophecy of immortality gives me the feeling of Moriarty returning to a certain shonen manga from his past life.

It's like you're just playing around!

However, the "key" was mentioned twice: once by Salazar and once by Violet, passed down through generations.

If the prophecy of immortality is true, the key is undoubtedly the most powerful intelligence I currently possess, and the closest I am to finding it.

So what exactly is the key?

Furthermore, why did the Hebrews spread the prophecy of eternal life throughout the world? Was the Hebrew a single person or a group of people?

Moriarty roughly divided those who made prophecies about immortality into two groups.

A group of people, led by themselves, are pursuing or understanding the prophecy of eternal life.

Besides himself, there are also the four giants led by Merlin and Salazar.

Another group consists of people who seek immortality.

Japanese bosses, Dracula, vampires, and the mysterious Hebrews.

The most crucial point of contention lies here.

How did these people who pursue immortality manage to be scattered all over the world, belonging to different races and factions, yet still steadfastly pursue immortality?

Was it a Hebrew overseer?

No, Moriarty rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind.

The Hebrews played a guiding role in the entire prophecy of eternal life; they simply disseminated the prophecy of eternal life.

It is clear that the Hebrews could not interfere with the prophecy of eternal life; the Hebrews needed others to work for them!

In other words, how did the Hebrews manage to persuade others to work for them while simultaneously ensuring that these others didn't cause trouble and instead cooperated in every way?

Moreover, it has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Judging from his own experience, Moriarty, who was also a behind-the-scenes boss, guessed that there was some kind of connection between the Japanese boss, Dracula, the vampires, and the Hebrews.

At the same time, Moriarty also noticed that Violet recounted the legends of the thirteen vampires and immortality, but deliberately avoided addressing her own issues.

Violet may know something, but she herself is part of this connection, so even if she's overjoyed, she won't tell anyone, after all, Violet's identity is that of a vampire princess.

Moriarty also had two plans for this.

On the one hand, keep a close eye on Violet. Since she chose to come to Hogwarts, there must be something she wants here. In time, she will naturally slip up.

On the other hand, to uncover the secrets, you have to do it yourself.

Moriarty leaned back in his chair and used a summoning spell to conjure a world map, on which he found the original location of the Hebrews.

"I need to go to Hebrews to do some research this summer."

Moriarty had originally planned to take advantage of the chaos in Soviet Russia, but Violet's revelations caused him to change his plans.
