Chapter 420 The Third Historical Debate Has Finally Begun

Harry's final conversation with Mrs. Weasley did not immediately yield the results Harry had expected.

He inquired about Arthur Weasley's work situation, in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to lure him into the group, and let Arthur serve as an editor and writer for the soon-to-be-reopened "Quick Tune" magazine.

Although Harry hadn't talked to Luna's father about it yet, he was sure he would agree.

As for whether Arthur can write manuscripts, it doesn't really matter, as long as he can provide materials.

Although the office where Mr. Weasley once worked was just a Qingshui yamen, his own contacts and news channels are not to be underestimated. Harry wants to rely on this magazine to challenge the Ministry of Magic. The inside story that Arthur has is definitely a record heavy hammer.

It's a pity that although Harry's offer was tempting enough, Mrs. Weasley declined it on the grounds that her husband was not present.

As she left, Harry read a hint of balance in her gaze.

She should have figured it out, once her husband agreed to cooperate with Harry, it would be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the Ministry of Magic.

From now on, unless Harry can defeat or even replace the top management of the Ministry of Magic this year, Arthur will completely say goodbye to his official career.

Of course, Harry also knew that standing on the opposite side of the Ministry of Magic was not a problem for the Weasley family, because they were originally Dumbledore's people.

The reason for Mrs. Weasley's hesitation should be that she couldn't confirm whether there was Dumbledore's approval behind Harry's behavior.

Sure enough, she was a wise witch, and Harry paid tribute to her.

Throughout March, Harry lived fairly peacefully. He devoted most of his time to the research on werewolves and the cultivation of virus serum, and he did see some gratifying results.

On the night of the full moon in late March, Harry gave Lucius another injection of the wolf girl's saliva... He used twice the dose this time, but Lucius' body was like Nothing happens at all.

This made Harry think that maybe he could try to change the antigen when the night of the next full moon came.

At the same time, the physical indicators of the werewolves during transformation were abnormal. With the help of the comparison between the three werewolves and Lupine, Harry can also draw some universal data.

Within 1 minute before the transformation, the werewolf's heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature will all increase at the same time, and after the transformation is completed, it will quickly fall back to the level consistent with that of a dog of the same size.

Probably considering the medicines in his hand and the spells he had already mastered, Harry thought he might have a try and actively influence the werewolf's transformation.

On the eve of the Easter holiday, Will also rushed to find Harry, saying that he had thoroughly figured out the identity of Sir Cadogan.

"If you're sure you want to do this, then go challenge him." Harry encouraged with a smile, "Hermione and I can help you gather an audience."

"Gauntlet, that should be..."

"Go to Luna, she will help you." Harry reminded Will with a smile.

"I understand!"

Will's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he hurriedly ran to the common room of the Eagle Court to find Luna, and the latter did indeed give him quite wonderful help.

Luna took Will directly to the portrait where Sir Cadogan was, and ignored the other party's objection, directly drew a glove on it with a pen.

Afterwards, Luna cast a Transfiguration Charm on the glove, causing it to fall directly on Sir Cadogan's feet like a real glove.

"Mr. Cadogan, don't you claim to be a knight, then please accept my challenge." Will took the opportunity to bow slightly to the portrait, "Or, you are timid at the moment, afraid of me Expose your identity in front of everyone?"

"Haha! You bastard braggart, a rascal who acts recklessly, as a heroic knight, I will never back down!"

Upon receiving Will's letter of challenge, Sir Cadogan did not show a timid look, but instead danced the epee in his hand angrily.

It's a pity that his swordsmanship is really not up to standard, the heavy saber only twisted twice in his hand before slipping to the ground accidentally, and almost hurting his feet.

"Oh, you devil! I will never let you laugh at brave Sir Cadogan!"

Before Will could speak, he himself made a noise first, and his words were always absurd and provocative.

"I have no interest in laughing at you," Will shook his head lightly. "It's just that knights and titles are identities that I value very much; and the history of King Arthur is even more meaningful to me! Therefore, I will never allow anyone to desecrate it!"

After that, Will ignored Cadogan, turned around and left.

"Why, are you afraid? Come back, coward who ran away!" Cadogan kept yelling at Will's back, but when he turned his head, he saw Luna who was one step behind again, "Why, don't you Are you going to stay and fight with me?"

"I don't think so at all," Luna closed her eyes flatly, "Your portrait is surrounded by harassment horses, I don't want to get too close, otherwise I will be like you, not remembering who I am. of."

...

News of a first-year student openly questioning Sir Cadogan's identity quickly spreads through the school.

At the same time, the fact that they will debate in the Hogwarts auditorium on the eve of the Easter holiday also attracted the attention of almost the whole school.

It stands to reason that the news about Sir Cadogan should not have attracted so much attention given his usual crazy appearance, but this time the situation was different.

Because, Will mentioned Merlin directly.

He publicly stated throughout the school that Sir Cadogan was lying, and everything he described about Merlin was also outright false information.

Once the matter involved Merlin, it couldn't be taken lightly, so Harry and Hermione didn't make much effort to inform, and all the teachers and students in the school showed a strong interest...even including the ghost of Professor Binns.

With this in mind, Old Deng simply held a banquet the night before the holiday, assuming that Will and Cadogan would give an open history class to the teachers and students at school after dinner.

So, at eight o'clock that night, after all the teachers and students in the school had eaten and drank enough, Will, who was wearing a standard wizard robe, left Dean Eagle's desk with a lot of heavy materials.

And across from him, Sir Cadogan's portrait had already been erected in front of the auditorium!

Chapter 420 The Fourth Debate Was One-sided From the Beginning

"Haha, you rogue bastard has finally appeared! Come on, come and fight the brave Sir Cadogan!"

In the Hogwarts auditorium, as soon as Cadogan saw Will, he immediately waved his long sword excitedly.

In the end, he healed his scar and forgot about the pain, and was almost stabbed in his calf by his own sword.

"Mr. Cadogan, even a real knight would not apply for a duel indiscriminately; but for a commoner like you who has not received formal sword training, you should try your best to use such dangerous sharp weapons sparingly." For good."

In stark contrast to Cadogan's performance, Will bowed politely and said: "Also, I want to reiterate that my purpose today is to expose your identity and the lies you have told. Absolutely no intention of provoking you."

"Come and see, you bastard, I, the great and valiant Sir Cadogan, never lie! Instead, you coward, have been trying to avoid a duel with me, a true knight! "

Cadogan's appearance caused many people present to frown slightly. Although they were used to the obscenity of this crazy guy, but now, the gap between him and Will is simply a judgment call.

In many literary works, the images of knights are noble, elegant, humble and polite. Even if there are occasional bold people, they always abide by the basic etiquette.

After all, roughness is not the same as rudeness. The so-called straightforwardness does not mean that words such as 'rogue' and 'bastard' can be said at will, and even an 11-year-old child can be called by them.

But looking at Will, at this moment, he is meticulously wearing a magic robe that is not easy to set off his figure. When standing in front of everyone, he also straightens his waist, which can be said to be elegant and serious in all directions without dead ends.

In such a comparison, Will, a first-year student, is more of a knight than Cadogan.

"Mr. Cadogan, I would like to ask you a question." Seeing that Cadogan still looked like this, Will was not angry, and began to ask on his own, "You are so persistent in emphasizing your knighthood, and you yourself You also have the title of knight, I want to know what your title is?"

"My... what?"

As soon as Cadogan said this, there was an uproar at the scene.

No one expected that Cadogan was asked the first question... and it was such a simple question!

It is a bit outrageous for a person who calls himself a knight to be unable to answer what his title is.

"Your title, don't you know? Mr. Duke, what kind of title do you have? Is it hereditary or non-hereditary? And... where is your fief?"

Seeing that Cadogan couldn't answer, Will 'kindly' made his question more detailed.

"You... you bastard, I warn you not to tell me such things as devil's spells! I'm the holy and noble Sir Cadogan, and I never play tricks with a rascal like you. What you just said, what Hierarchical fief... fief? Haha, of course I have a fief!"

I don't know which switch on Cadogan's body was triggered by Will's question. After inadvertently mentioning the issue of the fief, Cadogan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he began to slap his breastplate in ecstasy.

"My fief is the Wye River! As brave as I am, after defeating the Wye Dragon, the great King Arthur took the Wye River as my fief!"

"So, your fief is a river, right?" Will shook his head slightly noncommittally, "Then let me ask again, if your fief is a river, do all the people under your rule live in the river? Fantastic Beasts? Then your taxes, army, attendants and even servants are all to be found in the river? Mr. Cadogan, even if you want to joke, can you be more or less reliable?"

"Army, servants... Yes, I really should have a servant." Cadogan shook his head, and suddenly slapped his forehead hard, "Yes, I remembered! I am the great La Mancha region Guardian, that is my real fief!"

"Ah, this..." Will couldn't help being stunned when he saw this, and then shook his head helplessly.

Fortunately, he had prepared for this debate for so long, but he never thought that his opponent would be so vulnerable.

This only mentioned the issue of titles and fiefdoms, and Cadogan actually gave up on himself.

But Laman... are you sure that place is really in England?

"Forget it, let me ask you the next question." Will shrugged slightly, and continued to ask politely, "When you mentioned your achievements in defeating the Waiyi dragon, you once clearly said that the dragon is Living in the Wye River?"

"Of course!" Cadogan replied proudly, without doubting him, "When I arrived, the beast just jumped out of the river..."

"However, according to the previous editions of the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", flying dragons, as a confirmed extinct magical animal, usually live in caves on top of mountains, not in rivers." Will He interrupted the other party indifferently, "The full name of flying dragons is bipedal dragons. As the name suggests, they only have a pair of independent hind legs, and the forelimbs are integrated with the wings like bats. Such a body structure is obviously not suitable for rowing." water."

"They only have a pair of hind legs? Damn, how could I know such a troublesome thing... Oh no, I almost got caught by you bastard! I mean, that beast lives on the mountain Cadogan argued stiffly, "On a mountain near the Wye River, I fought heroically with it. Although it set fire to melt my armor at the beginning, I finally used the broken wand Blow it up!"

"Oh, can it breathe flames, and even melt your armor? It seems that Wye Wyvern is indeed very powerful." Will asked pretending to be worried, "Mr. Cadogan, may I ask you?" Was it poisoned?"

"Haha, how is this possible? I am such a great knight with superb fighting skills, I was not even bitten by it, how could I be poisoned?"

"Mr. Cadogan, I still have to remind you that wyverns usually breathe venom, and only a few have the ability to mutate fire as you said. In the medieval coat of arms, they themselves The symbol is the plague." Will continued to talk indifferently, "So even if the Wyvern Wyvern really has the ability to breathe fire, it must also have a powerful poisonous breath when it breathes out flames... Let me ask, yours The armor has been melted, so how can people not be poisoned?"

"You... you bloody bastard, rascal, are you trying to discredit my achievements?" Cadogan couldn't help roaring violently after Will's repeated rebuttals, "I said..."

"It's useless to say what you say now!" Will also became stern, "I believe everyone present has made a decision... You have never won any titles, and you have not defeated any Wyatt dragon !"

"Your identity and so-called achievements are all fabricated lies!!"

Chapter 420 Five So King Arthur’s Knights Came From Spain

The ultimate goal of a debate is never to convince the opponent, but to convince the spectators.

This was something Harry had quietly told Will before he took the stage.

That's why he was so indifferent, no matter how vulgar Cadogan's words were, how outrageous his attitude was, or even nonsense that contradicted his promise, Will just pretended not to hear it.

Because what the two of them said was actually meant for the teachers and students of the whole school, and he only needs to ask and state his views step by step, so that all the witnesses present can help dispel this guy who has been bragging .

"Next, let's talk about some more important questions. Mr. Cadogan, are you really sure that you are a Knight of the Round Table under King Arthur, and have you ever been friends with the great wizard Merlin?"

"Of course, Merlin and I are best friends!" When mentioning Knights of the Round Table and Merlin, Cadogan seemed to be revived again, "Yes, I am friends with the great wizard Merlin, so we He is also a great knight of the round table, a scum and a coward like you are absolutely impossible to knock me down!"

"Then can you briefly introduce King Arthur's achievements?" Will suddenly made a modest and longing look, "I'm really curious, as the most famous king in British history, what kind of legend does King Arthur have? ?”

"Is this... the achievements of King Arthur? Uh..."

Cadogan fell into hesitation again. He scratched his hair in pain, as if he was trying to recall his past experiences in order to deal with Will's endless questions.

In fact, this is one of Will's strategies to expose his identity.

Cadogan is a very special spirit in the painting. Unlike other spirits living in the painting, he often repeats what he has done before, but always lies and brags.

Of course, lying and bragging is probably what he's been doing all along.

But Will, who knew his details, knew very well that this guy knew nothing about the history of England, and he was not even an Englishman!

Therefore, when Will asked a question that he was completely unfamiliar with and he had to answer it, he would passively remember the real experience in the past, and speak it out as the right thing!

Like now.

"Hahaha, you're asking, of course I know the achievements of King Arthur!" As if he had completely straightened out his thoughts, Cadogan finally let out a burst of hearty laughter, "King Arthur, that is definitely a great A wise monarch! Before he became king, the whole of England was in chaos, but he finally defeated the mighty Kingdom of Castile and Aragon, and finally became the king of England!"

"Moreover, besides our great Knights of the Round Table, King Arthur also has a powerful fleet. They have reached the farthest and discovered the New World. I even took a boat to meet the natives~"

After racking his brains for a while, Cadogan finally remembered the history he thought was 'completely correct', so he hurriedly polished it up, and confidently told his own version of the 'Legend of King Arthur'...

hum~

However, his words fell into the ears of everyone at the scene, but they directly aroused a commotion.

A look of doubt appeared on many people's faces, and some people were even stunned by the shock.

"You...you bastards, what are you doing? Are you doubting my great Knight of the Round Table—Sir Cadogan, or do you dare to doubt the achievements of King Arthur? Let me tell you, everything I said is true!!"

Unlike before, Cadogan was extremely certain this time, because many of the things he said were indeed his absolutely real memories as a spirit body.

It's just that this memory is true, but it's a pity that he put it on Zhang Guanli.

"Mr. Cadogan, I have a question... The arrival of the New World you just mentioned should be the work of the Italian navigator Mr. Columbus." Will continued to speak at this time, "And the one who supported him in his voyage exploration was The Kingdom of Spain was just established at that time. In addition, the Kingdom of La Mancha, the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Aragon you mentioned before are all located in Spain. Mr. Cadogan, aren’t you the Knight of the Round Table of King Arthur? , why is it all about the history of foreign countries?"

"This...that's impossible!" Cadogan shook his head manically, "I will never remember these things wrongly. You must be a liar! In short, what I said is absolutely true!"

"Okay, then I'll follow your clues." Will continued calmly, "Comparing the things you mentioned to the history of England, we can know that the Tudor dynasty ruled Britain at that time, and the The reigning king at that time was His Majesty Henry VII, not King Arthur."

"Hmph! That's just false Muggle history, it's not credible at all!" Cadogan said arrogantly, crossing his arms.

"But the portrait of His Majesty Henry VII is still hanging in the school, and...Sir Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor, he was once a courtier of Henry VII." Will politely turned to the long table in the Lion Court, "Nick Sir, you should be able to prove my words?"
