Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

"Headless Horseman?"

Moriarty stared intently at the silver corner of the mural. His voice was particularly loud in the quiet office, but it was not abrupt.

Because the portraits of successive principals woke up from their slumber and grumbled dissatisfiedly.

As expected, Dumbledore was not there, and Phoenix Fawkes was not on the shelf. This was the conclusion Lilith and Jericho came to after looking around. They had no idea who Moriarty was talking to.

However, Moriarty was sure that his target had moved. In his sight, Principal Black's mural was gradually occupied by a pair of knight's armor.

Moriarty looked at the armor. It was about 1.85 meters tall. It was very neat. There were a small string of mysterious words engraved on the wrists and ankles. The surface of the chest was polished.

The silver light is reflected from here.

Only the neck was stained with a large amount of blood, and it had no head - Moriarty was already mentally prepared for this, so who would call it the Headless Horseman?

However, the wound on the neck still made Moriarty's eyelids jump. The wound was not an ordinary cross-section, but left a circular bloody hole in the neck, about the size of an adult's fist.

"Hiss-" Lilith grabbed Moriarty's arm tightly, and Jericho held the wand tightly under his robe, but a smile appeared on his face: "This thing is worse than Nearly Headless Nick."

Bluffing, huh?"

"Nearly Headless Nick? No, no, no, how can you compare me to a ghost?"

The armor waved its arms repeatedly, making a "click" sound. Its voice seemed to come from its stomach, and its tone was very arrogant: "I, the noble Knight of the Round Table under King Arthur. And you compare me with Nicholas de...

Compared to the ghost of Mimsy Porpington? What's going on? Are all the little wizards today so low-minded?"

The armor twisted its body towards Jericho, and even though it lacked a head, Jericho could feel its gaze.

Jericho was startled by his thoughts. He did not let go of the hand holding the wand in his robe, but instead tightened it, as if he could pull it out at any time and cast a spell on the armor in front of him.

"You said you are King Arthur's Knight of the Round Table?" Lilith's tone was full of ridicule: "What a big joke. Does King Arthur know that he has a knight who lost his head under his command? Does Merlin know? Huh? Is there a deputy at three in the morning?

The armor on his head tells us he is a Knight of the Round Table? How funny! Today is April Fools’ Day?”

"Haha!" The armor shook its shoulders with laughter and made a "praising" sound on its body, which made Moriarty feel that it was not a serious and wealthy person... Well, Armor.

And Jericho felt its youth and vitality, and it smiled happily: "King Arthur and Merlin know, of course they know! There are twelve knights in the first round table, and I am the unknown thirteenth of the round table.

The Horseman—the Headless Horseman!”

"Really?" Lilith was still skeptical: "Are you sure you didn't come up with a name to trick us? Otherwise, why didn't you agree when Moriarty called out 'Headless Horseman'?"

"Who? Moriarty? Him!" The armor turned towards Moriarty, but as if he had been stung by a bee, he quickly dodged: "Oh, that's too bad, I don't want to talk to him.

His mind has been occupied by harassing flies! His thoughts are so confused that even flies don’t want to visit them - so why do you think I will answer him!"

Moriarty and the three were dumbfounded. It had been a long time since anyone had dared to look down on Moriarty. Even Dumbledore, the British and French Ministers of Magic, were polite to Moriarty.

"I won't say anything bad about you, sir!" Jericho was the first to react. He angrily drew out his wand and pointed it at the armor.

Moriarty pressed down Jericho's arm, "Don't destroy Principal Black's mural." Jericho put down his wand angrily.

"This reminds me," Lilith approached the armor, her black eyes full of ridicule and sarcasm, "You are still a thief! Peeves said that you don't have your own murals, you can only run in other people's murals.

Run away and occupy other people's murals after they leave!

What is the difference between this and a thief? King Arthur knows this? Does Merlin know this?"

"What do you little girl know?" Armor said surprisingly in a nonchalant tone: "Of course they know, this is the task they gave me! Otherwise I won't lose my head! Neither will I

Stay in someone else’s mural!”

Lilith stopped talking, Jericho still stared at the armor warily, Moriarty walked gently in front of the armor, but the armor actually stepped back.

"Stay away from me. I don't want you and your harassers to get close to me. Seriously! If you come here again, I will leave!"

"I've been wondering since just now, what the heck is a mole fly?" Jericho also approached the mural. Judging from his expression, if the mural hadn't been hanging on the wall, he would have poked it with his wand.

"It's a small invisible creature that floats into people's ears and confuses people's brains." The armor seemed to like Jericho particularly, and it moved closer to Jericho.

"You think my mind is messed up?" Moriarty's voice sounded unhappy, and he showed a strange smile to the armor - a smile that neither Lilith nor Jericho had ever seen.

"Mr. Armor? If you don't say anything, I will take down the entire castle's murals and replace them with new ones." Moriarty held the sleigh wand in his hand and said lightly: "Think about it.

By then, you won’t be able to go anywhere.”

"Who do you think you are? The principal of Hogwarts?" Armor said arrogantly: "I'm sorry, even the principal of Hogwarts has no right to change the murals, let alone command me! This is Merlin and

Salazar??Slytherin said yes!"

Lilith followed up his words and said: "Who do you think he is? Sorry, he is Moriarty?? Slytherin! The agreement between Merlin and Slytherin is perfect for another Slytherin to break it."

Yes, right?"

Lilith's tone was also very impressive. She was very satisfied to see that the armor seemed to have been hit by a hammer. Although it had no head, its belly became bulging.

"Are you a descendant of Slytherin?" Armor's tone became thoughtful, "No wonder a few months ago, the portraits in this castle were like crazy. Looking at their solemn expressions, I thought the castle had been destroyed.

Attacked...this is not a good thing.

Okay, I admit that the descendants of Slytherin can remove the mural..."

"Ahem, I'd like to ask, you don't have a head, how do you see?" Jericho asked seriously: "Don't tell me your eyes are in your belly."

"Haha!" Armor laughed again: "Short-haired boy, I like you! You are so outspoken after all. This is a good sign, indicating that your thoughts are quite simple."

"I sound like a simple-minded little troll with well-developed limbs, haha." Jericho said expressionlessly.

"Don't interrupt, Mr. Armor? Mr. Knight? Or a portrait without a head?" Moriarty walked slowly in front of the mural, a huge amount of magic surging around him, proving that he was not trying to scare Armor, "No matter what your name is.

That's fine, now you've caused big trouble and no one has ever dared to say that I'm out of my mind."

"I just said it, so what?" Armor said impatiently: "Your mind is entangled in a little trivial matter, isn't it just alchemy? Why has it become a problem now that Merlin has learned a little mystery that he didn't bother to do?

"

Moriarty opened his eyes wide, and Lilith looked incredulous. Only Jericho asked straightforwardly: "How do you know?"

"Of course I know, the harassing fly told me all the thoughts in your mind!" The armor seemed to snort: "That wizard boy named Slytherin, don't worry about alchemy, I will help you solve this problem, you promise

Don't take down the murals in the castle, okay?

Oh, I'm not negotiating terms or making a bet with you, I'm just making an exchange of equal value.

You see, I will solve your trouble now - the simpler method than alchemical formulas and magic runes is the matrix! The alchemical matrix! You can easily overcome complicated formulas and irregular magic by building a matrix.

runes.

If you are knowledgeable enough, you will find that the language of elves and dragons is close to mysticism. Don't expect humans to study mysticism.

Merlin told us that every existence in nature performs its own duties, and anyone who tries to replace other existences will pay the price. That is the real thief and thief!"
