Chapter 663: The Greengrass Family's Conflicts and Astoria's Desperation
As for why the board of directors did not choose to withdraw its investment when it was treated so unfairly...
You should know that most of the board members of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry come from pure-blood families, and some of the descendants of these pure-blood families have joined the Death Eaters.
Those who are upright and upright are easy to deal with. They support Dumbledore's decision and naturally will not choose to threaten the other party by withdrawing their investment.
And those who have something to hide dare not do so. After all, as members of the board of directors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and public figures in the British wizarding world, their addresses are semi-public.
No one dares to guarantee that Lin En and Irina, the two new demon king-level wizards who are not bound by the rules, will not "hear the truth in the morning and die in the evening" and find their house to "open the door and check the water meter."
If those two demon-level wizards broke into their homes and found that their descendants were Death Eaters, not to mention that they would lose their reputation, the Ministry of Magic's current attitude towards Death Eaters alone would be enough to make them extremely afraid.
The execution of the descendant who joined the Death Eater camp was a small matter, but if their family was implicated and caused their family to decline, it would be a price they could not afford.
In order to maintain the current peace, these guilty board members had to support Dumbledore's decision on the surface and "willingly" transformed into ATM machines for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
…
At the same time, on the fourth floor of Forley Castle.
In this training ground specially built inside the castle, two figures were constantly fighting, using sparring to improve their combat experience.
Lightning flashes exploded in the air, and the thunder in the sky turned into countless long whips, breaking through the air and whipping the petite girl dozens of meters away.
The girl's body shape changed, and she nimbly dodged the attack of the thunder whip that was like an octopus's tentacles. As she waved her hands, several blood blades broke through the air and attacked the boy on the other side.
Looking at the blood blades carrying the curse power of the blood curse, Irving's expression remained unchanged.
He waved the magic wand in his hand lightly, and the purple thunder fell quickly, forming a barrier made of thunder in front of him.
Under the high temperature of the thunder, the blood blade was instantly annihilated, and the curse power that erupted also dissipated in the air under the bombardment of thunder.
Irving drew the magic wand from bottom to top, and dozens of thunders rose from the ground around Astoria, converged towards Astoria's head, and turned into a cage made of pure thunder power.
The speed at which the Thunder Cage was formed was so fast that even though Astoria realized something was wrong the moment the thunder rose from the ground and dodged to the side, she still could not escape from the Thunder Cage before it was formed.
However, the power of thunder seemed to be extremely powerful and had extremely strong destructive power, but in terms of lethality, it might not be as strong as Astoria's blood blade.
The power of the ancient magic thunder spell lies mainly in the destruction of buildings within the casting range and the group lethality, while the power of the ancient magic blood curse lies in the absolute single lethality.
Astoria hummed softly, and a black-red blood blade that condensed the curse power of the blood curse broke through the air. The black-red blood blade bombarded the Thunder Cage and cut it off in an instant!
Under Astoria's control, the black-red blood blade split into two and then into four in the air. In just a few breaths, the black-red blood blade split into hundreds of blades, slashing towards Irving from all directions.
"In terms of single-target lethality, I'm still not as good as you!"
Looking at the almost irresistible black-red blood blade, Irving shook his head helplessly.
He gave up resistance and made a "French salute" in the direction of Astoria.
Seeing this, Astoria chuckled and dispersed the black-red blood blade.
After the blood curse in her body no longer dragged down her body, but became a great help to her, Astoria never suppressed the desire to use magic again, and her powerful magic talent was finally reflected.
In this one-month vacation, Astoria's attainments in ancient magic were almost catching up with Irving's pace.
Astoria used all her strength to activate the blood curse, and the killing power she exerted was so strong that even Irving, who mastered the thunder spell, was not sure that he could escape unscathed.
Astoria smiled lightly and said, "That's also thanks to the training ground you provided. It allowed me to escape from the family dispute while practicing the blood curse."
After the summer vacation began, Astoria was troubled by the disputes of the Greengrass family.
Her sister Daphne Greengrass even regarded her sister as an enemy in order to compete for the position of heir to the Greengrass family.
During the time when the blood curse in her body broke out, Daphne was unwilling to come to the Quidditch field to visit her sister, which made her very sad.
After returning to the Greengrass family, Astoria was also troubled by her parents' hostile attitude towards Dumbledore.
Although the Greengrass family did not show an attitude of leaning towards Voldemort and the Death Eaters under the situation in the British wizarding world, it can be judged from the words of her parents and sister Daphne that they hope Voldemort will win.
After all, only when Voldemort successfully unifies the wizarding world can the concept of pure blood supremacy be realized.
Daphne and her parents are pure-blood wizards who support the extreme pure blood concept.
In order to escape the conflicts and disputes of the Greengrass family, Astoria chose to run away from home and ran to the Leaky Cauldron to rent a room for temporary stay.
After learning what happened to Astoria, Irving invited Astoria to visit Forley Castle and let her stay in Forley Castle during the holidays.
With only a few gold galleons left, Astoria, who was almost desperate, naturally accepted Irving's invitation.
After arriving at the Forli Castle, Astoria followed Irving to practice her ancient magic blood curse in the training ground on the fourth floor of Forli Castle, and often exchanged ancient magic with Irving.
Irving raised his right hand and looked at the lightning ball that was constantly flashing above his palm. He whispered: "From the accumulation rate of thunder power, maybe within two years, I can be promoted to a demon king-level wizard..." (End of this chapter)
