The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Moriarty looked on in unprecedented surprise: "What did you say?"

Sophie licked her paws, her voice low: "You heard it, the Cain Brotherhood was wiped out."

"brush!"

Moriarty jumped up from his chair.

The Cain Brotherhood managed to force Nightfall to flee in disarray.

Ye Jingyu's strength was evident to all the wizards who attended the Blood Banquet.

That dark wizard with bizarre magic had one eye blinded by the Cain Brotherhood!

And Cain's Brotherhood was completely wiped out!

What kind of person has such strength?

Auror?

No.

Death Eaters?

Don't be ridiculous. Voldemort could only bully vampires; he wouldn't dare provoke a blood clan.

An immortal organization?

Could there be wizards from an immortality organization in England? Where are they hiding?

Moriarty was filled with doubt. Among the members of the Immortal Organization present at the Immortal Blood Feast, there were no British people.

Yoru Kō is a Japanese.

The evil monk was a Russian.

There are also Eskimos and the Vanjo vampires.

Vivian could be considered English, but she and Merlin were undercover agents.

wrong!

Moriarty's eyes lit up as he remembered there was another person at the Blood Feast: the old witch.

Moriarty then recalled the old witch's appearance and features. He remembered it very clearly; the ornaments the old witch wore were somewhat like those from India.

Moriarty's brow furrowed even more; he had absolutely no clue what to do.

"Meow~"

Sophie clung to Moriarty's legs, climbed onto his shoulders, and placed her paws on Moriarty's face.

"Don't worry, Queen Ventura already knows. She has ordered the vampires and bloodlust to search for the Brotherhood of Cain and the mysterious wizard."

Moriarty shook his head and said, "The Cain Brotherhood is already the strongest force among vampires. If even they are no match for them, what can ordinary vampires do if they discover our presence? They will probably be silenced as well."

"What do you want?" Sophie asked, noticing that Moriarty seemed to have other plans.

"Go investigate yourself!"

Moriarty brought out a thick woolen coat, and the silver-white robes automatically appeared on him.

Sophie perched on his shoulder and meowed, "You need my help, or you won't find the Cain Brotherhood."

Sophie's desire to accompany him was exactly what Moriarty wanted.

The Brotherhood of Cain has existed for over a thousand years, and there is no specific method by which even Moriarty could not find them.

The two, a human and a cat, quickly slipped out of the castle. Only by leaving the Hogwarts area could they use Apparition.

Just as they were about to leave the Hogwarts area, Dumbledore's voice came from the bushes nearby.

"Good evening, Moriarty. You're not going to have a tryst with Mrs. Slytherin, are you? I really hope not, otherwise many of the girls in our school will be heartbroken."

Moriarty stopped and watched Dumbledore slowly walk towards him from the bushes.

Dumbledore looked much older, his usually sharp eyes were now somewhat cloudy, and his beard was in a messy knot, as if he hadn't groomed it for days.

"Professor, where are you from?" Moriarty asked, looking Dumbledore up and down with a strong sense of suspicion in his voice.

Moriarty dealt with the Horcruxes that could have harmed Dumbledore. Would Dumbledore be so stupid as to drink the water in the cave where the fake locket was hidden?

However, Dumbledore has indeed been away from Hogwarts for a long time.

Given that he does this often, it's not surprising even if others find out.

Dumbledore said softly, "It's a long story, and you certainly don't want to hear about what I've been through these past few days. I just got back from Godric's Hollow."

As he spoke, he tossed out a bag that looked like it held some significance.

"Bang!"

The bag landed on the grass with a deafening thud, and Moriarty felt the ground beneath his feet shake.

"It has definitely been subjected to a traceless stretching spell; it contains far too much stuff."

Moriarty glanced at the bag.

"Ding-dong~"

"The host has discovered GGAD's notes! Combined with what the host has obtained before, this is exactly 1/5 of all the notes. The host is rewarded with 5 exploration draws."

Moriarty's heart skipped a beat. There were actually valuable notes inside. It seemed that Old Deng had been researching materials recently, looking for clues about the old witch of the Immortal Organization.

Sure enough, the bag shrank again and flew back into Dumbledore's hand. He weighed the bag in his hand and said, "If we can't find any information about the old witch here, then I'm afraid I can't help you much. Let's go back to our original question?"

Moriarty chose to be frank: "The Cain Brotherhood was ambushed and killed on their way back home. I need to find out what happened."

"Vampires..." Dumbledore pondered. He didn't want to get involved in vampire matters, but suddenly he noticed Sophie.

"Oh, if I'm not mistaken," Dumbledore adjusted his half-moon spectacles, "your pet cat is a special kind of life form."

"You noticed when Violet enrolled, didn't you?" Moriarty retorted.

Dumbledore smiled without saying a word. Sophie met his gaze and said bluntly, "I'm a demon! Watch out, or I'll eat you alive!"

"Of course," Dumbledore said calmly, perhaps he had already guessed it. "It's rare to see a demon in its true form."

"If you come with us, you'll see," Sophie said, then ignored Dumbledore and turned to leave.

"Goodbye, Professor," Moriarty said politely, and then left.

"I think I can go with you," came Dumbledore's voice from behind. "I don't want to spend all my time buried in books. And Fawkes has a good advantage when it comes to traveling."

I'll have to trouble Fox again.

As Moriarty watched Dumbledore summon the phoenix, he thought to himself that he also possessed the speed of a phoenix. If Dumbledore didn't come along, Moriarty prepared to use the phoenix wings to take Sophie away.

On the way, Dumbledore told Moriarty that he had searched through all the books and materials he could find, and the bag contained the last part. If he couldn't find any clues, then perhaps no one could get to the old witch.

Fox flew for forty minutes, and Moriarty heard the sound of ocean waves.

"This is... Beihai."

Moriarty looked down; the North Sea in England was anything but calm at night, with waves rolling in the dark clouds, a scene of apocalyptic devastation.

"As far as I know, the city closest to the North Sea—" Dumbledore said, "is Edinburgh."

"No," Sophie said definitively, "the Cain Brotherhood's base of operations back home is in Edinburgh."

They landed in a remote town in Edinburgh, a place that was peaceful and serene—if you ignored the waves.

"roar!"

Sophie opened her cat mouth and let out a loud roar, after which her body began to change.

In just ten seconds, Sophie transformed into a tall, hot woman!

It has red eyes and bone wings, and its skin has a faint purple tinge.

Dumbledore clicked his tongue in amazement, and Fox's eyes also revealed a human-like curiosity.

"Wow, she has a fantastic figure!"

Moriarty couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.

The next second, Moriarty's attention was diverted.

A stream of black blood gushed from the ground and flowed away into the distance. Sophie strode after it, saying, "The Cain Brotherhood is calling for me."

Moriarty and Dumbledore exchanged a glance and followed without hesitation.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, circling around the town, they finally found the remaining six vampires of the Cain Brotherhood in a basement.

"Princess Sophie!"

When the leader of the vampires saw Sophie, he was agitated and seemed to have suffered serious injuries; his body was trembling as he approached.

"etc!"

Dumbledore suddenly reached out to stop the vampires from approaching, his sharp gaze sweeping across the basement before finally settling on the leader of the vampires.

"You can't come over. You've been cursed, a very ancient spell, the Blood Tracking Curse."

Dumbledore didn't mince words and told him everything he knew: "This spell was created by wizards and the church in collaboration to combat dark creatures. At the same time, the Blood-Inducing Charm was also created. After the 15th century, all tracking spells were classified as modern tracking spells."

"Of course I know the Blood Tracking Curse!" the leading vampire shouted, seemingly insulted, his pale face filled with rage. "I've already broken it! I knew it five hundred years ago!"

"You're mistaken," Dumbledore's voice rose even louder, "either they've improved the Blood Tracking Charm, or they've found us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Moriarty's expression changed, and he gripped the Slytherin staff in his hand.

At the same time, the basement exploded like a bomb!

"boom!"

"Bubble Guardians!"

"Holy prayer!"

"Blessings of the Sea God!"

"Fire Shield Protection!"

Moriarty used four spells in succession to protect the group perfectly.

When the smoke cleared, the basement was destroyed, and they were exposed to the sky!

Outside, a group of wizards wearing white cloaks and hoods stared coldly at Moriarty and his gang.

"They've really found out!!!"

The vampire's eyes were filled with disbelief, and his face showed panic.

The remaining vampires pointed at the wizards outside and shouted, "It's them! They ambushed us in the English Channel!"

Sophie scoffed, "Being driven from the English Channel to Edinburgh is an unprecedented disgrace for the Cain Brotherhood!"

All the vampires lowered their heads, when suddenly one of them leaped high into the air and pounced on Sophie!

Moriarty reacted quickly, freezing the enemy in mid-air with a freezing spell.

"What does this mean?" Sophie's beautiful red eyes widened in disbelief that a vampire had attacked her!

She's the vice-commander of Cain's Brotherhood!

"He was forced to sign a devil's contract."

Moriarty pulled Sophie back, and the five vampires, upon hearing the "devil's contract," ran in terror toward the back of the store.

Although Dumbledore didn't know what a demonic contract was, he still followed and backed away.

But the vampires in mid-air went berserk, screaming and shouting, their mouths emitting terrifying screams and eerie laughter.

In less than five seconds, the vampire's face turned brown, long horns grew on his head, and his entire body underwent a genetic mutation, his hands and feet changing like a bull's, radiating a terrifying aura.

"He's been enslaved by the devil..." Sophie said absentmindedly.

"Give up on him," Moriarty shook his head. This vampire was beyond saving. "If we let him continue to change, he'll eventually become a real devil."
