Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 233 The increasingly complicated situation

As the 20th century came to an end, the productivity level of Muggle society had far surpassed that of the wizarding world; but leaving aside the macro perspective and focusing on individuals, magic still has many conveniences that Muggle society does not have - such as long-distance travel.

The fastest flight from London to Mexico City takes more than eleven hours, but with magic, Constantine only needs to pass through a few fireplaces and stand on Mexican soil in less than two minutes.

Of course, as Dumbledore said, that's only if he's willing to help.

Without the guarantee of the President of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, the Ministry of Magic would not open a transnational Floo network for Constantine, who had long been labeled a dark wizard.

"In the wizarding world, does the headmaster also have to learn how to do business?" Constantine had been in the world for decades, and had seen both humans and ghosts. How could he not understand what Dumbledore meant? Being controlled by the old wizard using the Floo Network, he did not have too many negative emotions, but instead made a joke.

"This is not a deal, Constantine; this is a reminder." Dumbledore's face was full of sternness. "I know you have your own plans for the Holy Lance; but I have to remind you that more and more forces are involved in this incident, and you may not be able to protect the Holy Lance."

"So?" Constantine took out another cigarette and lit it in front of him; at this time his body was still tired, but his spirit was no longer tired. Instead, he was fully alert, as if he was about to go to the battlefield.

"So when you encounter an irresistible danger, you should seek help from the Church or the Ministry of Magic in time. There is no doubt that if the devil does have a conspiracy, then you are already at the core of the conspiracy; and we cannot accept the risk of the Holy Lance falling into the hands of the devil."

Constantine couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Why do I feel that you, the principal of a magic school, care more about the Holy Lance than the Pope of the Vatican? Is it my illusion?"

Even though his inner thoughts were accidentally revealed, Dumbledore remained calm.

"Rather than saying I'm concerned about the Holy Lance, I'm more concerned about the 'saints' who are fighting for it. Remember my words, Constantine; don't let the Holy Lance fall into the hands of any uncontrolled person or force, let alone a demon."

Dumbledore reminded him again and asked, "The fireplace entrance to the international Floo network is at the Leaky Cauldron. Do you know how to get there?"

"Can we change places? I don't like the boss there. He used to..." Constantine couldn't help complaining, but before he could finish his words, the old wizard disappeared in front of him.

"SHIT!" The Hellboy's limp body fell back onto the bench.

As more and more people get involved in the fight for the Holy Lance and take actions based on their respective positions, the person closest to the Lance of Longinus is undoubtedly Helena Shaw.

In the spacious first-class cabin of the A310-300 aircraft, Lin You once again asked the archaeologist about the initiator of the treasure hunt mission.

"I am an explorer with professional ethics, Count. My employer asked me to keep it confidential, and I agreed." Seeing that she could no longer play dumb, Helena refused bluntly.

Lin You questioned: "If it is just a normal archaeological and treasure hunting mission, why do you insist on keeping it secret?"

"Everyone has privacy that they don't want to make public. Under normal circumstances, we should respect it. Just like you, Mr. Count, aren't you wearing a mask now?"

Helena was talking nonsense that she herself didn't believe, but she still used Lin You as evidence; because at this time Lin You was indeed wearing a fake face that didn't belong to him.

"Speaking of which, the effect of magic is really amazing. The fake face that was transformed has no flaws at all. By the way, is it really appropriate for us to discuss magic openly like this?"

Lin You rolled his eyes and signaled the other party to listen carefully to the sounds around them. There were two "anti-interference spells" around their seats; not only could outsiders not hear their conversation, but the sounds coming from the surroundings were also blocked out.

"Amazing magic." Helena exclaimed again, "Do you think I can learn magic? I really need it when I'm in the library." Lin You asked: "Did you receive any letters of unknown origin when you were a child? I mean the kind that were not delivered by the postman."

Helena thought for a moment. "When I was little? When I was in middle school, the love letters that appeared in my schoolbag or desk every now and then count?"

"…Forget it. Can you really not tell me the identity of the employer behind the scenes? Even a small hint would be fine. What does the other party look like, male or female?"

While deliberately speaking to guide her memory, Lin You's eyes, which had been rolling, refocused and looked directly into Helena's eyes. Since she refused to speak, he had no choice but to use "Legendary Mind" again.

As soon as their eyes met, Lin You "entered" a holy and bright world; he couldn't help but be startled.

There was nothing in the light. Above his head, below his feet, around him, there was no one or anything in sight, only light; this was a warm and gentle light, the same light that Lin You had only seen in one situation, that is, when he was beside God.

If this bright world is the impression that the employer behind the scenes left on Helena, then the other party's identity is almost obvious.

This employer came from heaven; but who was it?

God? Impossible!

If God really intervened, this incident would not have evolved into the "unknown".

Could it be a clone of God’s divine nature that merged into some story world? There was no sign of this before! Although the clone of the divine nature has a lot of autonomy, as long as it takes action, the original body will know it - but the original God did not remind him beforehand.

Considering how much importance the gods attach to this "unknown" event, God should not risk the world's condemnation by doing anything small.

If it comes from heaven but is not God, then it can only be an angel?

Lin You was frustrated when he found the answer but was confused. What was worse was that he found that he could no longer get the answer from Helena.

It’s not that it can’t be asked, but Helena herself doesn’t know.

The memories seen through "Legitimate Memory" proved that there was no specific information about the employer left in Helena's brain. The only memory she had was that empty ball of light.

This practice does not completely erase the memory, but just like a wizard using the Imperius Curse or the Confusion Curse on a person, the mysterious employer also disrupts Helena's accurate cognition in the brain.

"If it's an angel... which story is it from?" Lin You silently calculated in his mind, "There are already six characters and plots from the previous six stories. Is there a seventh story?"

Perhaps it was due to lack of sleep from the previous night's running around, although Lin You had a lot of questions in his mind, he still relaxed his mind and fell into a light sleep.

Since it is certain that there will be no answer from Helena, it is better to use these ten hours to catch up on some sleep.

As for that sneaky guy from heaven, since his target is the Holy Spear, he will show up when the thing is found, right?
