Chapter 280 Blake’S Real Purpose! Armenian Old Wizard!
Of course Blake wouldn't do anything to Harry.
He was already interested in getting rid of Lockhart.
However, Harry's behavior only brought this matter forward.
Now the secret room problem has been solved in advance.
The basilisk has also been taken care of.
Originally, Lockhart would have had his oblivion spell deflected by Ronald's broken wand in the chamber of secrets, which would not have happened.
So, how could Blake let this guy out of punishment who was supposed to be punished?
According to Blake's understanding.
A forgetting spell that is too powerful will cause permanent trauma to the person being cast.
It's like the permanent damage Lockhart inflicted on himself in the original novel.
And based on Lockhart's acting style, for example, it seems that he wanted to drive Harry and Ronald crazy in the secret room to protect his reputation.
It is very likely that the wizards who were attacked by him had more than just that part of their memory deleted...
It would be easy for Blake to kill Lockhart.
But, for one thing, he couldn't kill anyone at Hogwarts.
On the other hand, Blake believed that Lockhart should live to bear the punishment he deserved.
Since he values his reputation, let’s start with his reputation...
Due to Lockhart's embarrassed retreat.
That night's club duel class officially ended.
Everyone once again spread out in twos and threes to practice by themselves.
However, everyone couldn't help but talk about what just happened.
After all, a professor, after being beaten up by a student, ran away without saying a word.
This is indeed intriguing.
When Blake left the club classroom.
There are already more than ten bronze treasure chests in the system space.
Originally, Cassandra and the others wanted to come over and ask what was going on.
After all, they all saw something was wrong.
But Blake disappeared as soon as he left the house.
Lockhart hurried back to his office.
As soon as I entered the door, I started to pick up my suitcase and pack my luggage.
After seeing him like this, all the portraits of him in the surroundings also hid near the picture frame in a panic.
Don't know what happened.
Lockhart had only one word in mind now.
That's "Run"!
Of course he himself knows how many disgusting things he has done.
If that boy had evidence of the embarrassing things he did.
If you don't run now, when will you wait?
Just leave Hogwarts at this time
Well, just leave without saying goodbye!
If that boy brings out the evidence then.
He uses his fans to incite public opinion!
Said that he was bullied by jealous colleagues at Hogwarts!
And let a student...that is, Blake, come forward and use forged evidence to frame him!
As a kind person, he had no choice but to leave Hogwarts, but he didn't expect that they would not hesitate to discredit him.
"What a perfect idea! As long as I keep a bitter and hateful persona, he can't do anything to me!"
Lockhart thought this way and packed his hands faster.
But...he could handle it though.
But it will definitely have an impact on his reputation!
There may even be people who investigate those who he has used the Forgetting Curse to deal with!
Lockhart suddenly panicked again when he thought of this.
He found that his thinking was a little one-sided.
Once the incident is exposed.
Then someone will definitely go find those wizards who have been harmed by them to learn about the situation.
No matter how clever the forgetting spell is, it will leave traces!
Once it is discovered that those people have traces of being harmed by the Forgotten Curse...
"No, no, no! They can't prove that the Forgetting Curse among them was cast by me!"
"As long as I clean my wand, they won't be able to use the flashback spell to know what spells I've used!"
However, although he can still think of ways to deal with it.
But... this is still a huge blow to his reputation.
Especially after discovering that someone was actually attacked by the Forgotten Curse...
Thinking of this, veins popped out on Lockhart's forehead.
He is really unwilling...
"No...I can't let my resume and my reputation be stained even a little bit!
"There is still a way! There is still a way!"
Unknowingly.
Lockhart's movement of packing has stopped.
He sat on his suitcase and kept grabbing his neat and shiny blond hair with his hands.
"How could this happen... I've obviously checked every time and no one was around! How on earth did Blake Green know these things?"
"Ah...now is not the time to think about this...wait!"
Lockhart suddenly remembered what Blake said.
Obviously, Blake wanted to use this incident to threaten him!
Since he wanted to use this matter to threaten himself instead of handing the evidence to Dumbledore.
This proves that there is still room for change in this matter!
In other words, Blake wants to achieve some goals through himself!
Otherwise, why would he threaten himself?
Lockhart thought of this and felt excited again.
As long as your reputation is not damaged.
What does it matter if you are threatened and do things for others?
It must be said that Lockhart's brain circuit is indeed novel.
Or.......
This is an idea that he deliberately avoids because he doesn't want to face the fact that his house is about to collapse.
"What does Blake want to do with me?"
After thinking for a long time, he came to a conclusion.
That is, Blake, like himself, longs for customer service.
After all, he Lockhart knows his stuff.
He knows nothing but is good at managing reputation! Be famous!
if it is like this……..
After Lockhart thought of this, he stopped packing.
He pulled out a piece of parchment and started writing.
"You beat up Lockhart?"
"Yes."
"I thought you would explain it to some extent. After all, you just beat up a professor.
Dumbledore lowered his head and looked at the books on his desk.
Blake couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Because I don't think this is beating up the professor..."
"Before the duel started, he told me to use my full strength."
"He didn't speak during this period, and he didn't throw away his wand. I assume that the duel is continuing."
Dumbledore finally looked up at Blake.
Blake keenly noticed that the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Okay...then why did you come to me?"
"I have not received any complaints from Professor Lockhart."
Blake said: "I want to ask you for a leave. And then go on a long trip."
Dumbledore took off his glasses and looked at Blake in front of him quietly.
After a while, he put his glasses back on.
"Go ahead. As long as you don't go to Nurmengard, I have no objection. Just send me a message when you come back."
"Thank you, Professor..." Blake was about to leave.
Dumbledore suddenly asked again: "I think you must be wondering why Lockhart was asked to come back as professor."
"I was really confused at first." Blake turned around and replied, "But now I have figured it out."
"Oh? What's the reason?" Dumbledore crossed his arms and asked with interest.
"There are two aspects." Blake said, "First, in school, his identity as a liar will have no place to hide.
"Second...you let a liar be our professor just to tell us what kind of things we shouldn't do and what kind of people we shouldn't be."
"When we all feel disgusted with Lockhart, there is a high probability that we will not become such a person..."
Dumbledore sighed softly.
"You can actually think of this, it's really beyond my expectation..."
"Blake, I thought you would come to me and complain about why you hired someone like Lockhart as a professor."
"But now it seems that I still underestimated you...
"Okay, go ahead and take Nagini with you. Your journey may be a bit far, but she can take care of you."
"By the way, don't forget to say hello to Rep Carlos of Armenia for me..."
"Finally...you must not go to Nurmengard!"
After Blake left the principal's office, he was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, the few words I casually said to Lockhart turned out to be true!
Dumbledore actually knew the two wizards who were assassinated by Lockhart.
And he asked Lockhart to come to the school as a professor because he really wanted to expose his identity as a liar.
Moreover, he also guessed that he was going to find the victimized wizards.
All I can say is that Dumbledore is really not simple...
However, Dumbledore didn't know Blake's other purpose.
If it's just for Lockhart, it's not enough for Blake to travel far!
night.
Armenia.
In a small, rundown village.
There are broken walls everywhere.
Obviously, this place has been defeated for a long time.
A dirty and weak old man was nesting in a dilapidated house.
The cold wind whizzed into the hole.
The old man hid shivering.
He was cold and hungry now.
I can't hold on much longer.
Suddenly, the old man felt something was wrong.
Because he suddenly couldn't feel the cold wind.
Moreover, not only did the room become warmer, it also became brighter!
The old man raised his head weakly.
I didn't know when there were two more people in black cloaks in the dilapidated house.
One of them is holding a strange pot of sunflowers in his hand.
…………Please give me flowers…0
The old man couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He has never seen such a beautiful and warm flower in his life...
The old man opened his mouth and murmured something in a low voice.
It was in Armenian, and Blake didn't understand it.
"He's asking us if we are messengers sent by the God of Death," Nagini said.
Blake turned to look at her.
Nagini said: "I can speak a little Armenian..."
Blake nodded, "Tell him that we are not the messengers of death.
"We are human beings, the ones who allowed him to be reborn."
Nagini whispered something in Armenian to the old man.
The old man looked at the two of them in surprise.
Only then did he discover it.
Of these two people, one is a woman and the other is just a child.
Suddenly, he saw a small stick in the child's hand.
Immediately afterwards, he knew nothing.
It's still the same broken house.
but now.
This shabby house has become spotless and warm as spring.
"Lockhart's Oblivion Curse...destroyed all his memories."
Blake said: "He forgot
He forgot his name and that he was once a wizard. "
"So... an old wizard who has forgotten his name and all his magic is just a helpless old man..."
"It's a miracle that he can survive to this day."
Nagini looked at the old man sleeping quietly on the makeshift bed.
"He is the real protagonist in Lockhart's book "Wandering with Werewolves"?"
"...
0
"Then is there any way to restore his memory? Should we send him to St. Mungo's now?"
"unnecessary.
"Why?"
"Because his memory has been recovered by me."
The amnesia spell can indeed affect the human brain and delete memories.
But...human memory actually has a "backup" deep in the soul.
This is also the reason why many people can recover after being hit by the Forgetting Curse.
For example, in the original book, Hermione cast the forgetting spell on her parents, which was later restored by her.
Of course, Lockhart's oblivion spell requires violence.
It is simply impossible for the old wizard to recall his own memories using ordinary means alone.
However, Blake as a necromancer.
Although soul magic is only a minor, it is still very simple to retrieve that part of the "backup".
At this time, the old man on the bed opened his eyes.
He stared blankly at the ceiling.
After a long while, he broke down.
"So... you were the one who saved me when I was cast by that despicable guy Lockhart and forgot who I was. I almost died of cold and starvation?"
The old wizard did not speak Armenian this time, but some English that was not very fluent.
"It seems like your memory has indeed been restored."
The old wizard closed his eyes, and after another long while, a few tears suddenly flowed from the corners of his eyes.
He had completely remembered it, and at the same time, the memory of living a difficult life as a Muggle in these years was still there.
"Thank you...Really thank you...my life is coming to an end.
"When I was dying, you helped me get my memory back and let me know who I am. This is really... thank you..."
At this time, although the old wizard had regained his memory, he was indeed in his twilight years.
In these years, he forgot that he was a wizard and lived like a vagabond.
Now, his body has reached its limit.
"No...Mr. Carlos. As long as I'm here, you won't die."
Blake took out a bottle of potion and handed it over.
"This is the potion formula I created. Just drink it if you believe me."
Life extension potion, in addition to delaying aging, also has the effect of increasing vitality.
The old wizard didn't really believe that the magic potion created by a young man could be of any use.
But... since Blake is so enthusiastic.
It's not easy for him to refuse.
After the old wizard drank a bottle of magic potion, he knew that he was wrong.
He only felt that a trace of strength had appeared in his weak body for a long time!
Immediately afterwards, he felt that almost all the magic he had lost was gradually recovering!
He looked at Blake, and the brilliance appeared in his eyes again!
Blake knew that this glimmer of light was the desire for life!
"Ding! A follower that can be included has been detected. Will the host include it?"
Under the Eye of Truth "Blake watched as the light on the old wizard's head gradually changed from white to gold.
The corners of Blake's mouth turned up slightly.
This is the reason why he wants to travel far!
Lockhart’s book is not all lies, many of the experiences in it are true!
How can a wizard who can achieve these achievements be weak?!
"The system only collects it!"
