Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 133 The Chaotic Origins of Vampires
September 1992 was not peaceful in Britain.

In the Muggle world, there occurred a pound crisis that shocked the world. The country that is home to the second largest financial center in the Western world was unexpectedly defeated in the exchange rate battlefield and lost both its reputation and face.

Before the incident in the Muggle world, a major incident occurred in the wizarding world; two twelve-year-old wizards openly drove a modified magic car across London, all the way from the Thames to the Scottish Highlands.

Thousands of Muggles in cities and towns along the way witnessed the spectacle of the car flying into the sky, causing the most serious exposure crisis in the wizarding world in the past decade. Even the old butler, who only cared about the Forresters and was alienated from the wizarding world, couldn't help but scream when he first read the news.

If it weren't for Harry Potter's legendary aura and Dumbledore's protection, if he hadn't gotten into such a disaster, he would have been sent to Azkaban for further studies for two years, or at least expelled eight or ten times.

This incident happened a long time ago, and it had nothing to do with Earl Goff. However, someone took advantage of the modification of the flying car to instigate the Ministry of Magic to investigate the abuse of Muggle items. After a period of investigation, it was inevitable that the biggest channel for Muggle items to enter the wizarding world was found - cross-border trade.

Upon learning that the Ministry of Magic wanted to conduct a comprehensive investigation into all aspects of trade between the two worlds and had sent a special letter requesting the Forrest Family's cooperation, the writer, who had just met with Ares and was overwhelmed by the work at hand, got angry on the spot.

"You want to investigate, right? Let him investigate!" Earl Goff said fiercely, "Tell all employees to suspend all trade processes and seal the warehouses from now on. Start with the food, and let the investigators from the Ministry of Magic investigate carefully one by one. If one day is not enough, then investigate for a month, and if one month is not enough, then investigate for a year. Before the investigation is complete, not a grain or a piece of cloth is allowed to enter the wizarding world."

The old housekeeper was shocked when he heard the order, but he passed it on without saying anything. Since his young master was in a bad mood, no matter who came up, it would be a good opportunity for the young master to vent his anger and cool down, which was worth it.

Unfortunately, the Ministry of Magic was not resilient and within three days, news came that they had voluntarily admitted defeat and surrendered.

"It is said that the special investigator in charge of the investigation, whose name is... Umbridge; yes, that is her name. She has been demoted. The investigation has been changed to an internal self-examination by us and all the companies involved in the trade, and we only need to submit a report to the Ministry of Magic afterwards."

When the old butler came to report the latest decision of the Ministry of Magic, the TV was broadcasting the news that the pound sterling exchange rate had collapsed and the British Treasury and the central bank had admitted defeat and surrendered.

Lin You was indifferent to this; in his eyes, the Ministry of Magic was even weaker and more vulnerable than Gringotts.

No matter how Gringotts fights internally, at least they can unite against external enemies. At first, Earl Goff had to suppress the rebellion with force himself. But dealing with the Ministry of Magic is easy. He takes advantage of the conflicts of interest and power struggles among the various parties and makes the other party bow down with just a few words.

"Ken, have you heard of vampires?" Lin You asked.

"I have heard of it, Master, but it's just hearsay." The old butler immediately changed the subject with his master. "Vampires are powerful individually, but their tribe is very low-key. Outsiders rarely know about them. Most vampires live in Eastern Europe, but a few members will leave their ancestral homes and go out to the outside world."

"Then do you know the origin of the vampire community?" Lin You asked again.

"This is a difficult question for me, young master." The old butler replied helplessly, "There are many different opinions on this question; even the most knowledgeable scholars find it difficult to verify the origin of vampires. Some say they are a kind of intelligent magical animal, just like centaurs; others believe they are humans, but they are infected with a special virus that makes them bloodthirsty and transformed." "Infected with a virus? Like a werewolf?"

"Hmm... maybe a little different." The old butler said carefully, "Werewolves cannot control themselves after transformation, but vampires can. To put it bluntly, transformed werewolves are often regarded as beasts by people; but vampires, no matter what form they are in, are considered to be closer to humans."

"Intelligent, able to maintain rationality, and not rejected by wizards." Lin You muttered to himself, "This is the social image of vampires in the magic world."

The old butler nodded slightly and said, "Yes, wizards do not reject vampires. I heard that there is a mixed-blood vampire who became a famous singer and is highly sought after by wizards. His name seems to be...Lorcan. As for whether his last name is Deis or Delis, I can't remember clearly."

"Thank you, Ken." Lin You walked into the library casually, leaving the old butler confused, not understanding why the young master suddenly brought up the topic of vampires.

Lin You walked through rows of bookshelves and headed deeper into the laboratory; today was the seventy-two hours of preparation time given by God, and the writer had to determine the final plan for rewriting the vampire world.

It must be consistent with the ecological environment of vampires in the current big world, and it must not conflict with the vampire content of future Hellblazer stories.

Fortunately, the Harry Potter story pays very little attention to vampires; there is never any named vampire character from beginning to end, and it can be said that they are the most inconspicuous part of the background board, giving the writer enough blank space to smudge and rewrite.

"There are many theories about the origin of vampires, and even in the 21st century there are creators who have set up new theories of origin." Lin You described his thoughts in the Garden of Eden, "But in the DC story, Cain, the 'Father of Murder', is clearly identified as the King of Vampires; and from the chronological order of the timeline, identifying Cain as the ancestor of vampires is also the most beneficial to the integration of the DC world."

When facing God, Lin You only talked about work and never mentioned Ares's visit to him. This is because the writer clearly remembered what God once said: "Don't say it if you don't have evidence."

This sentence basically expresses God's attitude towards disputes between different pantheons. It can also be regarded as God's advice and request to the writer: Be a good tool and don't get involved in muddy waters.

Of course, there is another reason why the writer chose to remain silent. Judging from the current situation of DC's Broken World, the Supreme God who presides over the Great World Plan does not seem to be the kind of person who is selfless, fair and strict. Since he himself is not upright, how can he be in a position to uphold justice?

For God, all he can do is watch Mount Olympus and the Pantheon decide the outcome on their own, and hope that their plans for the greater world will not be ruined.

"I plan to start with the easy ones and then move on to the difficult ones. I will start with the stories about the weakest vampires and attribute their origins to Cain." The writer finally said, "Let's start with Underworld."
