Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 260 What Happened in the First Half of 1993
Dumbledore was persuaded to go back and deal with the problems of Hogwarts Castle. Before he left, Lin You casually asked about Grindelwald's situation.

"He was sent back to Nurmengard and placed under stricter supervision. Of course, no matter how strict the measures are, they cannot stop the devil." Dumbledore sighed, "However, no devil will be interested in him in the future. His soul has been owned by Lucifer."

"Did Lucifer specifically ask for Grindelwald's soul?"

"No. In fact, it was Grindelwald himself who proposed it. He said that he had already sold his soul once, but Odimm did not do what he asked, so the contract was automatically voided, and his soul could be sold again."

"Odimm didn't do it, but Lucifer did; but why didn't He take Grindelwald's soul immediately?" Lin You was puzzled.

Dumbledore also couldn't explain the reason: "I don't understand it either. Judging from Lucifer's attitude, although He signed the contract, He didn't care about collecting souls as compensation. I feel that He seems to be very patient and wants to wait until the day when Gellert dies."

"That's not patience, but indifference." Lin You smiled indifferently, knowing the mentality of the fallen angel.

Dumbledore left the manor, and soon the last few days of 1992 passed.

This year, the author's experience can't be described as eventful, but it can probably be described as ups and downs.

From The Mummy to Pirates of the Caribbean, from The Witcher to DC Comics, and finally the two unexpected surprises of the God of War games and Uncharted.

The author resolved the logical conflict between science and magic and solved the most difficult to reconcile worldview contradiction in the Great World Plan; at the same time, the largest conflict of interests since the launch of the Great World Plan broke out between the Roman Pantheon and Mount Olympus in Greece.

Logical contradictions are easy to deal with, but conflicts of interest are irreconcilable; the quill pen is not omnipotent.

I wonder what will happen in 1993?

Some stories may continue to develop along the established track; for example, the rumors of the Chamber of Secrets in and around Hogwarts Castle will spread. The number of basilisk attacks will increase, and the panic caused will intensify.

The Malfoys would still seize the opportunity to attack the current Hogwarts headmaster and briefly achieve victory; although Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald again, indirectly preventing a human disaster, and even dealt with Lucifer's incarnation, he was still restrained and retreated step by step when faced with the attack of a mere school director.

Due to the closed-minded atmosphere in the wizarding world and the Ministry of Magic's deliberate concealment of the news, most people were unaware of the Dark Lord's escape from prison, and the second duel since 1945 broke out between the two great wizards; this also gave people like Malfoy the opportunity to vividly demonstrate what ignorance is bliss.

Zhang Mazi once asked angrily: Should good people be pointed at with guns? In fact, this should not be a question, but a positive statement. People like Malfoy really only dare to point their guns at good people.

Thinking of Zhang Mazi, Lin You suddenly had an idea. He wondered if he should go and integrate this movie into the big world. It was not only an interesting story, but more importantly, there were many interesting people in the story.

How could such a simple matter as "bandits fighting bullies" be made so complicated! In addition to the panic at Hogwarts, another important but concealed piece of news was related to the Vatican. It was said that a holy object in the church's collection suddenly disappeared, suspected to have been stolen by a dark wizard.

This news first spread among the dark wizard circles of various countries. Many people just regarded it as a topic of conversation after dinner and laughed it off. But later, the Vatican took more aggressive actions and even targeted several dark wizards as suspects. After the search was fruitless, it even sent letters to the magic ministries of several countries to request cooperation in the investigation.

Once this "request" was put forward, it stirred up a hornet's nest. The relationship between the magic world and the church has never been good, and at some times - such as during the "witch hunt" period - the relationship was even very bad. However, later on, people gradually became more wise, and under the pressure of the Muggle secular regime, the two sides each shrank their spheres of influence and kept to themselves.

Why do you, the Vatican, have the audacity to make such aggressive “demands” to the magical world?
Fight crime together? What kind of words are those?

If your church points a finger and says that this wizard has committed a crime, then he has really committed a crime?
Do you have any evidence? Even if you have evidence, it won’t work!

Although dark wizards are hated in the wizarding world, no matter how serious the crime they commit, they can only be dealt with by the Ministry of Magic.

Even stupid Muggles know that if different countries want to cooperate in fighting crime, they must first sign a cooperation agreement and then establish Interpol for coordination. How come your church doesn't even understand such a simple truth?
Is this still the era of the Inquisition in the Middle Ages?
The dispute over this matter lasted for nearly half a year; apart from the British wizarding community, which was occasionally attracted by the changes in Hogwarts, most wizards from other countries also joined the quarrel.

At the same time, some people active in the black market are more concerned about the holy relic that was lost in the Vatican. What on earth could have provoked the Vatican to make such a fuss? Who was so powerful that he could sneak into the Vatican and steal the relic?

Some daring dark wizards began to inquire in different circles, spreading the word that they were willing to help sell the stolen Vatican relics - even though no one knew what the lost relics were.

Earl Goff knew about it; he was much more informed than others, and even had many sources of information from Muggles. For example, the famous archaeologist and explorer Ms. Helena Shaw had told him that the lost thing was the Spear of Longinus that had just been found.

As the hero who recovered the Holy Lance, Helena got the exact news and passed it on immediately; then she grabbed Count Goff and asked, "Was it that Constantine who did it?"

Lin You spread his hands and said, "You ask me, who should I ask? I haven't seen him since we parted in the United States. God knows what he has been doing during this time." - Earl Goff was already very familiar with lying.

Of course, the thief was Constantine, and Lin You knew it clearly; he even knew that Constantine had hidden back in England, but not in London, but in Scotland, waiting to apply for the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts in the next school year.

Constantine's calculations were very precise: the children in the school were the future of the wizarding world, and they were also the places that the entire wizarding world unanimously cared about and protected. The church's hand was too long to reach them. Hiding in the school to avoid the limelight was the safest choice.

His choice can be said to be the aftermath of an "unknown" event; Lin You really wants to see how wide this "aftermath" will spread.

Of course, although Hell's detective is so powerful that he can even get into the Vatican's treasure house, he could never have imagined how "safe" Hogwarts would become in the next school year.
