Chapter 566 I Won't Let My Senior Down (Happy New Year)

Astoria wrote in the letter:

Moriarty, it's a pity our first meeting took place in this way.

If I were to openly and honestly talk to my senior, it would only arouse suspicion from those around me.

My family is a tragic one, and Gamp has no way to break the family curse, so I hope my senior can lend a helping hand.

For this, I will pay an equivalent amount of compensation.

Don't say you can't solve it now. Maybe one day in the future, your senior will have the ability to lift that curse?

In that case, would you be interested in reading this letter, senior?

If so, please read on, senior—Astora won't disappoint you.

The feud between the Arthurian and Lancelot families has always been a popular topic of conversation in Europe, and this topic has been repeatedly brought up again after Lionheart and Knight Lancelot arrived at Hogwarts.

I think the senior has already begun to doubt their past grievances.

Because so am I.

Unlike others, I don't think King Arthur was a fool who couldn't even keep his own subordinates and queen in check.

Is it possible that King Arthur encountered something terrible?

The situation was so terrible that even King Arthur couldn't solve it and could only resort to self-degradation to divert attention.

Of course, this is just my opinion.

Therefore, I am determined to investigate thoroughly. What could be more convincing than Lionheart telling all this himself?

I approached Lionheart with a purpose—he was a naive boy, and you should have heard what happened afterward.

Yes, Lionheart is pursuing me. This is completely unexpected, even though I haven't developed feelings for him, and I haven't done anything to him—please, I don't even know how many more years I have to live!

I rejected Lionheart and told him about the family curse, hoping he would back down, but he actually revealed the secret.

Yes, Lionheart naively believed that as long as he found similarities between himself and me, he could get closer to me!

The following are Lionheart's original words:

"Since when, the sword of our ancestor (King Arthur) in the lake has become strange. It often emits colorful light, illuminating the entire royal city."

Neither the ancestors nor Merlin could do anything about it, until a Hebrew appeared who said that if a scabbard were made, the light emitted by the sword in the lake could be blocked.

Merlin believed the Hebrews were frauds, but his ancestor, as a last resort, ordered the Hebrews to forge sword sheaths.

The scabbard was completed after countless treasures and materials were used. The moment the sword in the lake was inserted into the scabbard, all the light was absorbed into the scabbard.

The ancestors were overjoyed and decided to reward the Hebrews.

But the Hebrews mysteriously disappeared, along with their sword sheaths!

If it weren't for the family records, I really couldn't imagine that anyone could escape right under the noses of their ancestors and Merlin, but that Hebrew did it.

Because the forging of the sword sheath emptied the national treasury, the matter caused a great uproar at the time. The ancestor ordered that the matter be classified as top secret, and everyone was forbidden from discussing it.

The only ones who knew about this were the ancestor and the queen, and the ancestor's most trusted wizard and knight, Merlin and Lancelot.

After the Hebrews had been gone for some time, the worst thing happened.

The power contained within the sword in the lake has been reduced to less than one-hundredth!

(At this point in the conversation, Lionheart even pulled out the sword from the lake and waved it in front of me. He looked dejected.)

The ancestor was terrified. Enemies outside Great Britain were watching him closely. Without the power of the sword in the lake, what should he do?

Merlin was imprisoned by the Elf Queen Vivian, and the power of the ancestor was severely diminished.

At this time, Lancelot proposed a plan to his ancestors.

The knight said he could conspire with the queen to stage a coup and overthrow the ancestor. This would draw the attention to himself.

The ancestors' seclusion allowed the Pendragon family to be preserved and continue, searching day after day for the whereabouts of the scabbard and to regain the power of the sword in the lake.

"As long as our ancestors can find the scabbard and regain their power, everything lost today can be reclaimed in the future!"

(Yes, Lancelot is a loyal knight. When I heard all this, I had the same expression as you right now, senior.)

Lionheart added, "Our ancestors agreed to the knight's plan, and for this, the Pendragon and Lancelot families bear an eternal stain!"

However, the world is sometimes just that magical!

As time went by, things began to drive us to despair. Our family had been secretly investigating the scabbard for thousands of years—as had the Lancelot family.

However, about a thousand years ago, the sword sheath suddenly appeared in the Lancelot family!

Our family was instantly furious, believing that Lancelot had betrayed our ancestors! The Hebrews, the disappearance of the sword sheath, Merlin's imprisonment—it was all Lancelot's doing!

From that moment on, the feud between our family and the Lancelot family, which began as a self-directed rumor, transformed into a true blood feud!

After Lionheart finished speaking, I was amazed.

I don't know what you're feeling or thinking right now, senior.

In short, I hope this helps you.

Goodbye, senior.

The letter is over.

During the reading, Moriarty made a great effort to control his facial expressions.

This is hardly a love letter.

It was a piece of intelligence sent by Astoria to Moriarty!

Astoria's identity as a member of the Greengrass family allows her to easily obtain information about the movements of the Gampe lineage.

Lionheart pursued Astoria not only because of Astoria's outstanding qualities, but also because she was one of his own.

To put it bluntly, Lionheart wasn't on guard against Astoria. If you asked someone else, he certainly wouldn't be completely open with them.

After reading the letter, Moriarty believed most of what Lionheart had said.

The story repeatedly mentions two words: scabbard and Hebrew!

This looks so familiar, doesn't it?

Wherever Hebrews appear, it is invariably linked to prophecies of eternal life.

The prophecy of eternal life, yet another prophecy of eternal life!

Whenever immortality prophecy is involved, there will inevitably be immortality organizations involved!

This organization involves even more people and things; even King Arthur was tricked by them!

Moriarty put the letter away, his eyes thoughtful.

So, Lionheart and Knight Lancelot don't know about the Immortal Organization?

I didn't know that Gamp was a member of the Immortal Organization?

Then Moriarty thought of the sword in the lake.

He did know about the scabbard, because it was in his Slytherin Castle!

But what is the radiance emanating from the sword?

"What are you thinking about?" Suddenly, Lilith nudged Moriarty, raising an eyebrow. "The battle between Ralpo and Grindelwald has begun."

Moriarty's eyes flickered slightly, and sure enough, he saw Larpo and Grindelwald standing opposite each other.

"Was my lapse in concentration very obvious?" Moriarty asked Lilith in a low voice, pretending to be engrossed in his work.

Gampo is still nearby; we can't let him notice anything amiss, or Astoria will be in danger.

Lilith said calmly, "When you're thinking, you unconsciously press the tip of your tongue against your lower front teeth; it's a habitual action of yours."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "No one else noticed this except me, so don't worry, nobody noticed."

Moriarty was initially relieved, and then felt a warmth in his heart.

"boom!"

A burst of sand and stones erupted as Ralph used his Hammer Technique!

The professor on the sidelines hurriedly chanted incantations to protect the students.

A gentle breeze is blowing!

Moriarty conjured a gentle breeze to clear away the dust, revealing a large hole in the field!

"Principal Grindelwald, your feet are off the ground."

"Larbo said coldly."

It turns out that Larpo blew up the ground beneath Grindelwald's feet!

"Heh heh, open your eyes and look again!" Grindelwald's arrogant voice rang out. "What am I standing on?!"

Larpo and everyone else turned their attention to Grindelwald's feet.
