Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

Chapter 417 Law-abiding Les Lint

"Would you like some hot soup?"

"The croissants are freshly baked~"

As soon as Les returned to the camp, Daphne and Astoria came up to him with a smile to welcome him and celebrate his triumph.

Looking at the steaming soup on his left and the croissants with a rich buttery aroma on his right, Les instantly felt that his hard work over the years had not been in vain.

As expected, Hermione and Cedric were there. Aries quietly huddled in the corner of the camp, secretly looking up at his appearance.

Les followed her gaze and looked over, which scared Aries: This person looks exactly like the phantom in the library field!

"It really surprises me that you can catch her." Les glanced at Daphne and Astoria, and their faces turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a fight, even Daphne had to admit that there was still a gap between the two of them and Aries, especially Astoria, who was even beaten to faint.

"Hermione helped a lot." Daphne said matter-of-factly. At this time, Astoria, who was always alert, lowered her head and studied the texture of the croissant in her hand.

Rice nodded. He certainly knew how these children who had not awakened to the elemental realm could deal with a realm monk.

He walked in front of Aries and carefully looked at the captured constellation monk.

Like most other secret order monks, Aries has very obvious Eastern European features in his facial features.

This makes sense. Because only that area in the world does not have a strong enough magic school, it is very suitable for the secret order to gather talents in the dark. As for why there is no strong enough magic school in that area, Rice thinks it may be closely related to the secret order.

Except for Hogwarts, other magic schools have more or less a development process. As long as they are strangled in the cradle before they develop, there will naturally be no famous magic schools.

"I think she should be handed over to the Ministry of Magic or Professor Dumbledore." Hermione hesitated for a moment and said.

Rice turned his head and looked in the direction of the stadium. He sensed an extremely powerful magic power coming out from there, and he could feel a hint of heat from such a long distance. It was obvious that Dumbledore had arrived.

It might be a good choice to hand her over to Dumbledore, Rice thought.

"Is it really okay to hand her over to the Ministry of Magic? She can even beat Astoria unconscious. She is very strong." Daphne suddenly said something without thinking. Astoria raised her head suddenly, raised her hand and gently hit her sister on the back twice.

It was too much. How could she expose her ugly deeds in front of Rice? Sure enough, Daphne's words aroused Rice's interest. He turned his head and looked at Astoria.

Astoria felt that the roots behind her ears were burning, and she immediately said that they were just superficial injuries.

"Broken bones are considered superficial injuries?"

"Yes!" Astoria said firmly. Even though she was beaten to the point of having only one breath left in the library, she only admitted to Rice that she had suffered minor superficial injuries.

Please! It was already embarrassing to be the only one among the four people who was knocked unconscious. If she admitted that she was seriously injured now, how could she survive in this small circle in the future?

Rice raised his eyebrows. He changed his mind about how to deal with Aries.

"We can't hand her over to the Ministry of Magic. She's too dangerous." Rice gave a conclusion.

"Then hand her over to Professor Dumbledore?" Hermione felt that one of the two options had been eliminated, leaving only one.

"I don't think this is appropriate." This time it was Cedric who objected.

He remembered that the teacher said not to publicize her identity to the outside world, and he should keep a low profile. But if Professor Dumbledore knew that they had captured a domain wizard of the Secret Society, it would be too high-profile and violate the teacher's instructions.

Hermione:?

"What should we do? We can't let her go back, can we?"

"No!" Before anyone else could express their opinions, Aries was the first to jump out and express their opposition.

The little wizards dared to let her go, but she didn't dare to go back. Voldemort's threat aside, just surrendering to outsiders was an unforgivable betrayal. The best outcome of going back would be to be stripped of the divine body and demoted to a low-level monk.

"Leave it to me, I have a very good resettlement plan." Rice has already thought of a way to deal with Aries: send her directly to the dungeon to accompany Rowena.

Aries was a little uneasy, but as a captive, she had no choice.

"Okay, let me taste your cooking." After deciding how to deal with Aries, Rice finally had time to eat something to fill her stomach.

After fighting with Voldemort, Rice was also a little hungry.

Not to mention, Daphne's tomato soup tastes good, with a lot of beans in it, and Astoria's croissants are even better. Roast some bacon, sausages, and luncheon meat on the fire, and it will be a hearty post-war supper.

"If I can eat these things every time I beat Voldemort, I will beat him every day in the future." Rice sighed with satisfaction.

"The mysterious man-"

"Call him by his name, Voldemort, or Tom Riddle." Rice corrected.

As Helga's student, how could Cedric not even have the courage to call Voldemort by his name?

"Okay..." Cedric blinked.

When he thought that his classmates could fight against the mysterious man, his fear of Voldemort disappeared immediately.

"How is Voldemort?"

"He escaped after being seriously injured by me. It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to use the power of the domain in the next few years. Ha, don't mention the domain. In my opinion, it will be difficult for him to even cast a spell."

The young wizards present were shocked at the same time: they didn't expect that the famous Dark Lord would fail as soon as he announced his comeback. They couldn't imagine that the person who caused the Dark Lord to fail was their classmate who they spent every day with.

Aries was overjoyed: the sword of Damocles on his head was lifted!

"You take him too seriously. He is actually nothing great." Rice drank a mouthful of soup, saying that the little Voldemort was not worth mentioning.

Of course, if you don't have an awakened domain, it's better not to provoke him. Don't be careless even if you have a domain. Voldemort's domain limit is actually very high. But as long as they follow the rules, a wizard like Daphne will definitely be able to fight Voldemort alone before graduation.

Astoria lowered her head silently.

As the only one present who had not touched the threshold of the field, she felt as if she was being targeted everywhere.

"I also took the opportunity to correct the reputation of Slytherin College." After expressing his contempt for Voldemort, Rice said in a proud tone.

"Oh?"

"How?"

Daphne and Astoria were both whetted by Rice.

"You will know when you read the Daily Prophet tomorrow." Rice did not directly say what he did, but asked them to read the newspaper tomorrow, and then they would know.

"Step by step--mouth--"

When several people began to share the soup, bread and grilled sausages, the Weasley family next door also came back, and the small camping area suddenly became lively.

After saying hello to Mr. Weasley and exchanging a few words with Harry who was sandwiched in the crowd, Rice noticed Fred and George who were beaming with joy.

Even the resurrection of Voldemort did not disturb their good mood.

"You look like you are in a good mood?" Rice glanced at them.

"Rice, if your dream is about to come true, you will be as happy as us." Fred took out a bulging purse from his arms and shook it in front of Rice, making a pleasant sound of gold coins colliding.

"Fortunately, Bagman paid us the money before the mysterious man appeared." George on the side also showed a bright smile: "The longer the night, the more dreams there are. It is better to put the money in the bag as soon as possible to make people feel at ease."

"Congratulations." Seeing that the Weasley brothers in front of him could realize their dreams, Rice was also happy for them from the bottom of his heart. Then he remembered that he seemed to have won some money from Bagman.

"What do you plan to do with this money?"

"Open a prank toy store." Fred and George said in unison.

This answer is actually not very unexpected. In Rice's view, Fred and George have endless ghost ideas and strong hands-on ability, and they are indeed suitable for this.

"By the way, have you checked the gold coins he gave you?" Rice asked casually, remembering something.

"No, what's wrong?"

"During the opening ceremony, the leprechauns threw a lot of leprechaun gold coins. The gold coins Bagman gave you may have been accidentally mixed with some leprechaun gold coins."

The smiles on Fred and George's faces suddenly became less bright.

The two opened the package, but they couldn't tell the difference between gold galleons and leprechaun gold coins. But Rice found the problem as soon as the package was opened.

He took the package from the twins, turned it over and scattered the gold coins on the ground.

"All of them are the masterpieces of the leprechauns." Rice said something that made Fred and George shudder in a normal tone.

The two froze in place. After several minutes, Fred forced a smile, saying that it must be Bagman who made a mistake accidentally, and he and George only needed to write a letter to Bagman to get the money back.

Rice didn't think highly of them. If there were a few or even dozens of leprechaun gold coins mixed in, it could be an accident. But such a large amount of money was all fake gold coins, which could only be said to be intentional.

After listening to Rice's analysis, Fred and George's spirits collapsed at once.

"We need to find him immediately." Fred knew that the chance of getting the money back would be smaller every second he delayed.

"I'll accept it even if I can only get back the principal." George has begun to lower his expectations.

"Let me help you." Rice silently chanted a spell and conjured a group of small snakes to slip into the woods to find Ludo Bagman.

He was betting that Bagman did not escape by Apparition.

Rice felt that Bagman, as an official in charge of sports in the Ministry of Magic, was likely to stay here at this time, so it was worth a try.

Not long after, he got feedback.

"Follow me." Rice called Fred and George, turned around and disappeared into the shadows of the woods. Fred and George did not hesitate at all, directly put the gold coins on the ground into the bag, and followed together.

The three of them wandered in the dark forest for a while, and then they saw Ludo Bagman in a slightly open area.

He was surrounded by several goblins at this time, and he looked panicked.

Seeing Les and the other two, Bagman's expression changed, and the goblins also frowned.

"Bagman, if you count on these little wizards--"

"Mr. Bagman, you just gave me the wrong money." Fred shouted directly: "You gave me leprechaun gold coins!"

He walked quickly to Bagman and showed Bagman the gold coins in the package.

"What leprechaun gold coins, you must be..." Bagman couldn't finish his quibbles in the middle of his words, because the gold coins in the package began to disappear!

"You believe it now, right?" Fred pushed a goblin away and spread the money bag in front of Bagman.

"And my money." Les helped.

A look of displeasure flashed across the faces of several goblins. One of the goblins turned to Les and said, "It was us first--"

Before he finished speaking, it flew out and fell into a nearby bush.

Rice acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued to urge Bagman to settle the money.

The other goblins were immediately furious, and the strongest goblin even took out a long sword that was almost as long as its body from its arms.

"Oh? Are you going to fight me?" Les smiled: "If a goblin shows hostility to a wizard, it should be regarded as rebellion. This is stipulated in the convention."

Confusion flashed in the eyes of the goblins: What kind of code stipulates this?

"The Convention on Extraordinary Species promulgated in the tenth century AD was drafted by the founders of Hogwarts, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin." Rice thoughtfully quoted the source of the legal provisions for the goblins. .

"Thousands of years ago——"

"The convention is still being implemented, so it has legal effect." Les raised a finger and pointed at the goblin holding the sword, "Rebellious goblins should be sentenced to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, the goblin turned into a pile of minced meat.

The rest of the goblins:! ! !

"According to the convention, as a wizard, I took the initiative to attack the goblin, but I did not cause the goblin's death. I should pay three silver coins as compensation. Take it." He took out three silver coins from his arms and threw them away. At the feet of those goblins.

The faces of the goblins were instantly filled with anger.

"Boy, you will pay the price!" A goblin said viciously, but before he finished speaking, it turned into a pile of minced meat.

"Showing hostility will be regarded as rebellion and will be punished with death." Les's voice gradually lost its emotional fluctuations. He clearly told the remaining goblins that you can continue, and he will act in accordance with the law.

At the same time, he couldn't help feeling that his temper had improved so much. In the past, he had killed all these goblins long ago.

But now is a society ruled by law, and he must abide by the law.

The goblins finally left, and since Les's words were clear, they didn't even dare to show any emotion.

Fred couldn't help but ask a question: Does the convention mention the punishment if a wizard takes the initiative to cause the death of a goblin?

"You'll have to pay for a hunting dog or a guard dog." Les shrugged.

Fred, George and Bagman fell silent at the same time.

Les looked at their expressions and felt strange from the bottom of his heart.

"What's wrong? This is the consensus of all extraordinary species. It is written in the convention. When the convention was signed, the goblin king Legnac was also present." He blinked: "Maybe it is a little unfair, but back then The final winner of the war is the wizard!"

After giving modern wizards a little history knowledge, Rice turned to Bagman and said to him: "Mr. Bagman, it's time to deal with the problems between us."
