HPMRS CH 171: Chimera Society!

" By the way, in the end, what was the test for? " Ryan realized that he was not here for the investigation of the Acolytes. But to find out why the shopkeeper suddenly attacked him and said it was a test, and what was the test for? Because just now when Headmaster Fernando was helping the shopkeeper to treat his injuries, Ryan picked up the wooden thorn, and from his knowledge of Herbology, he could easily distinguish that it was indeed a common sleeping pill instead of the imaginary lethal poison. So he could confirm that what the shopkeeper said was really the truth.

" The shopkeeper is my godfather. " Headmaster Fernando said: " I asked him to use other excuses to trick you into a surprise attack in the backyard test your mettle, but accidentally you saw the Acolyte's symbol and overreacted because of a misunderstanding. Up to this point. In fact, the reason for this test is because the next thing that I want to propose to you is dangerous. If you are not good enough, we would not have let you participate. "

" You two are powerful wizards, why do you need help from this student if you two can't handle it? " Ryan asked with some curiosity. After listening to Ryan's question, the shopkeeper coughed twice and said, " I just introduced you to the history of the Acolytes, to tell you that most of our Acolytes fight for a great dream. Although in the process of realizing this dream In the beginning, we were wrong, but not all the Acolytes joined for the same purpose. Especially in the middle and late stages of the war due to insufficient manpower, we recruited people who drank too much, distraught people, some were looking for revenge, while some were renegades and they weren't much informed about the details. Some of them were Acolytes by name only. Chaotic and evil groups also joined, just to muddle the waters. And this time the Chimera Society we are going to deal with is like this. "

" Chimera, what is that? " Ryan asked curiously because he had never heard of this before being in the cannon or fanfics.

" This is a very ancient society, dating back to the ancient Greek era. " Headmaster Fernando said on the side, " They have always dreamed of creating powerful magical creatures through magic, so they wantonly use all kinds of evil methods to transform magical creatures. According to the legend, Chimera was made by them. This is also the origin of their name. "

" In the war started by Grindelwald, many members of the Chimera Society used false identities to mix into the Acolytes, such as. Later, in the name of the Acolytes, they did a lot of bad things, such as several Muggle massacres. . "

" You must know that Grindelwald believes that wizards should lead the management of Muggles, but oppose the wanton killing of Muggles. Therefore, my godfather and his father discovered that a group of Chimera wizards were hidden in South America, and they launched a campaign in South America. The former Acolytes clean up these guys who corrupted the Acolyte's reputation. "

"But I didn't join in back then. " The shopkeeper said in a regretful tone. " They merged with the local dark wizards to do blood sacrifices. Under the cover of the local aboriginals, even the local wizards can hardly catch each other, let alone those of us who are basically outsiders. It's only recently that things have turned around. "

" Maybe because they have been lurking for a long time and feel that they have developed well enough. We learned that they plan to take advantage of the opportunity of the British exchange students to launch an attack, to have a sufficient impact on the entire magical world. "

" Why are they doing this? Shouldn't this evil organization hide themselves? What is it about taking the initiative to jump to the stage and how will they benefit from this? " Ryan asked puzzled.

" Well, let me explain it to you this way. " headmaster Fernando said, " Like the Death Eaters in their heyday in Europe, the evil organization must show its own strength when it develops to a certain extent. Only in this way can they get rid of the shackles and develop further. After all, it's not enough for an organization's development to rely solely on tapping the potential internally. It also needs to absorb fresh blood from the outside. If people outside simply don't know about their existence, how will they get recruits? "

" Then the Brazilian Ministry of Magic doesn't care about this kind of thing? As far as I know, we came here for an educational exchange this time, and the two Ministry of Magic have coordinated this. "

" We have warned the Ministry of Magic, but because I have no real evidence, the bureaucrats of the Ministry think we are just nervous. The only support we can get from the Ministry now is that they promised that an Auror team would be in school. Patrol nearby areas randomly. "

" Well, no matter where the Ministry of Magic is not reliable, it looks like I have to find a way to save myself. So what do you need me to do? " Ryan asked.

" We have a course that is known throughout the world as Castelobruxo master characteristic and in that course, students are sent to observe magical creatures in the wild as in a field trip, certainly some of the exchange students are patronized to take such course out of sheer curiosity. Naturally, the course venue will be farther away from the scope of the school grounds, Even if the destination is arranged by the school in advance, and there is a certain degree of defensive wards and security measures done, but no matter what, it certainly would be far inferior to the defense of the school itself. This is the prime opportunity for those attackers. "

" So we hope you can help us observe the behavior of your compatriots from the UK, and if you find something wrong or fishy, notify us immediately. " After finishing talking, the Headmaster took out a glass-like green leaf and handed it to Ryan. After holding the thing in his hand, Ryan found that It is a beautiful brooch.

" Brooch, what am I supposed to do with it? " Ryan asked curiously, because in his perception it was just a simple leaf with no magic rune drawn on it, and it was not like a magic prop at all.

" This comes from a wind chime tree planted in the Headmaster's office. Its leaves are in pairs on the branches. There is a mysterious connection between the paired leaves. As long as one leaf is activated, the other leaf will be connected to it, I call it Leaf resonance. That is to say after you activate the brooch with magic power, all the sounds around you can be replicated by another leaf through resonance. This tree is only known to the past headmasters and a few people, and you can use this thing on the other side to contact us when you are cut off from external communications by some means. "

" I see. " Ryan took the brooch and pinned it to his chest. " Thank you for your trust in me. I would have joined the excursion anyway. In that case, it is better for me to prepare in advance than to face unexpected events without any preparation. "

" Although this is the case, we still have to thank you. " The shopkeeper said at this time, " After all, the other party is also good at magical creatures. Wearing this brooch is equivalent to taking a huge risk. So I assure you that after this operation is over, no matter what the outcome is, I will give you something I learned when I was an Acolyte. "

After discussing some details, things are almost arranged. At this time, the shopkeeper said: " Ah, yes, your companion is still waiting for you. I think you should go to the front now. If there is anything important later, I will ask your Headmaster to inform you. " " By the way, in the end, what was the test for? " Ryan realized that he was not here for the investigation of the Acolytes. But to find out why the shopkeeper suddenly attacked him and said it was a test, and what was the test for? Because just now when Headmaster Fernando was helping the shopkeeper to treat his injuries, Ryan picked up the wooden thorn, and from his knowledge of Herbology, he could easily distinguish that it was indeed a common sleeping pill instead of the imaginary lethal poison.
