The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 380 The Indian Monitor Lizard Incident as Told by Jericho

Ice Serpent Dance, as the first large-scale spell Moriarty learned, is also a very unique existence among the many spells he mastered.

Moody is clearly a worthy opponent.

Under Moriarty's command, the twelve giant serpents coldly stared at Moody, one of them suddenly swung its head and sent Moody flying into the sky.

Moriarty used a levitation spell to put Moody on the ground. Moody was already unconscious, his chest was caved in, and it appeared that three ribs were broken.

A centaur entered the base from the Forbidden Forest to carry Moody away; he needed medical attention.

The centaur approached Moody tremblingly, not daring to look at Moriarty, fearing that the cold, giant snake would devour him.

Moriarty had no interest in doing anything to the centaurs; he found a snow-white horn behind Moody.

"A unicorn's horn!?"

Slytherin Castle kept several unicorns, and Moriarty immediately recognized the origin of the horn.

Moreover, the horn in his hand was crystal clear and pure white.

It's about the size of a pistol, and when you hold it, it feels like a white dagger—nimble and convenient.

He could naturally tell that the horn in his hand was left behind after the body of a unicorn died naturally and dissolved.

Moriarty became increasingly interested in the person who created the canyon; the fact that he could even produce a unicorn horn showed that his background was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

The horn's function is to accelerate the destruction of defensive towers. When using the horn to chisel at a defensive tower, the holy power inflicts fatal damage on the tower.

However, there are limitations. Each corner only deals bonus damage to the tower for the first 10 hits. From the 11th hit onwards, the corners deal no damage.

With the corner kick, Moriarty gained the ability to accelerate and finish the game.

"I wonder if other special areas in the jungle also have tower-pushing corners?"

"However, the two special cases in the same team are definitely not the same."

"If there are any, there can only be 5 corners for pushing towers."

Moriarty smiled maliciously and took all five corner towers, one for each member of the Hogwarts team, increasing their tower-pushing speed by 5.

Thinking this, he walked toward the next special being.

The second unusual presence was in the bottom lane jungle. As soon as Moriarty entered, he heard that ethereal voice echoing from above the canyon.

"Hogwarts' Jericho Blanche destroys one of Ilfamoni's defensive towers."

In an instant, all five members of the Hogwarts team received 50 gold coins.

Is it that fast?

Jericho really didn't hold back at all.

Moriarty ran down the road.

It now seems that Jericho did not receive the four-school contract, otherwise he would not have pushed the tower.

Moriarty and the minion wave moved to the bottom lane, but instead of Jericho, they saw a destroyed turret—only the turret base remained.

Where did Jericho go?

Given his restless nature, he'll probably go into the jungle, right?

Moriarty tried to venture into Ifamoni's bottom jungle.

Sure enough, Jericho was there.

The boy was exchanging slick words with the little demon.

"You don't want to hear the story of the giantess and the dwarfs, and you don't want to hear the story of the frog prince and the witch either."

"Alright, I'll tell you a story about an Indian monitor lizard!"

"It happened in faraway India, where there was a female monitor lizard."

"One day, four Indian Muggles, unable to contain their thirst, committed indecent acts against the female monitor lizard."

"After this happened, the news spread throughout the magical creature community in India, and they started walking around covering their butts."

"The king cobra was suspected of being the next victim, and as a result, it fled India overnight, cursing and swearing."

Jericho added fuel to the fire, making things worse.

"Hahaha! Great! It sounds amazing!"

The three little demons were overjoyed when they heard this.

"Here, take this. Next time, bring us even better stories."

The leprechaun tossed a bag to Jericho containing 1000 leprechaun coins!

Moriarty walked over with a smile, "So they like to hear stories with a lot of gore."

Jericho smiled smugly: "I still have a real talent for storytelling."

"He must have been trained by Helena."

"Heh, how did you know?" Jericho's smile vanished, as if it were a shameful thing for his friend to discover that he was a little afraid of his wife.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Moriarty told Jericho that the four schools had signed a pact to work together against the Magic Institute.

Jericho sighed and said regretfully, "I should have known better than to go so hard on Elinda and Jessica. Next, let's destroy the magic institute's defensive towers, shall we? What are we waiting for? Let's go."

"That's good, but I want you to betray us when we've achieved an overwhelming victory!"

Moriarty said seriously, looking intently at Jericho.

Jericho didn't understand, but he knew that listening to Moriarty was the right thing to do.

"Okay, no problem. I can tease Jiu Neng for a while longer." He laughed easily.

"Speaking of which, this canyon is really big." Jericho looked around. "I've never seen any of the plants and trees here before. It must be deep in the Forbidden Forest."

Jericho ran from the bottom lane into the jungle, his body slightly sweaty. He wiped it off and added, "It's hard to imagine how other players, with our physiques, manage to travel like this."

Moriarty nodded. "You, me, Tonks, and Krum are all Quidditch players with a certain level of athletic ability."

"A young lady like Furong will definitely have no advantage in terms of support and dedicated lines; she'll be out of breath after just a few times."

"Therefore, there must be a buff that increases movement speed among the special entities, or a means of transportation."

"Cool," Jericho exclaimed. "Let's go find that special being; maybe he has a flying broom!"

"You'd never guess who the first special case is? Mad-Eye Moody!"

"Him?" Jericho exclaimed in surprise, then his expression changed as if he had just realized something. "Oh no, could Iphamoni's special existence be my older brother?"

"That's possible," Moriarty thought, finding it quite amusing. "Among the special members of every team, there must be a well-known wizard from their own country. He might be a veteran Auror or an outstanding young man."

The two talked as they returned to their own jungle and found a second special entity.

"Hello, Captain!"

"And Blanche."

Moriarty looked at Roman, who was wearing the England national team jersey, and laughed, "It's you."

"You didn't expect that, did you!" Roman smiled broadly, overjoyed to see his captain again. "Headmaster Dumbledore invited me, and when I heard I'd get to see you all, I came."

Jericho looked thoughtful. "So what do I gain by defeating you?"

"With the captain's wisdom, he must have guessed it by now," Roman said, looking at Moriarty.

"Yes, it's a flying broom."

Roman nodded and then shook his head. "You guessed one-third right."

"Not every team has a World Cup champion. The school prepared flying carpets and a pair of boots to increase movement speed for players who are not good at using flying brooms."

"Defeat me, and you can choose one of these options."

"This is perfectly reasonable." Moriarty was satisfied; this was fair.

Those speed-boosting boots must have been designed by Professor Nicolas Flamel; the final match truly showcased the collective wisdom of the entire Hogwarts community.

"Ah, yes," Roman said with a hint of envy, "This joint educational program has caused quite a stir in the international wizarding world. The British Ministry of Magic has really put all its efforts into it. I really want to participate as a contestant."

"Alright, enough chit-chat, come and defeat me—Captain, you can take me down in one move, right?" Roman chuckled slyly. "Captain, don't hit me in the face, go easy on me."

Moriarty thought for a moment, "Jellico, you go ahead, I'll go check on Tonks and the others in the middle lane to see if they're in trouble."

"OK," Jericho stared intently at Roman, "I've wanted to beat you up since the last time we played against you guys."

"Little Blanche, does your brother know how arrogant you are?!"

"Whether it's magic or Quidditch, you can't beat me."

Their conversation drifted further and further away from Moriarty, who walked toward the center.

Given Michelle's speed, the message should have reached Jericho by now, but it hasn't.

The fact that what should have happened did not happen filled Moriarty with an ominous premonition.

At that moment, a sound came from above the canyon again.

"The Magic Institute's Quanmu brothers have destroyed Beauxbatons' defensive tower!"
