"Looks like this is quite troublesome... There's been an accident in Sweden."
"What accident?"
"The Obscurials attacked the Swedish Ministry of Magic, and it seems quite a few Aurors have been deployed..."
Chapter 19 The Prophecy Orb in the Prophecy Hall
Upon hearing the keywords "Obscurus" and "Auror," Vizet immediately focused his attention.
Whether for safety reasons or to ensure a smooth trip, knowing relevant news about your destination is never a bad thing.
He tilted his ear, trying hard to hear what they were saying.
Luna immediately noticed his unusual behavior, put down her cutlery, and turned her head slightly to the side.
……
"Where did you see this news? It wasn't from some tabloid, was it?"
"What do you want to question about the largest magic newspaper in Sweden, the Odin Daily?"
“That’s undeniable… but it shouldn’t be like this! I remember Sweden had a true prophet… is it really necessary to be so passive?”
"Who knows? Anyway, they found one of the dark wizards who had been drowned in a river."
"Drowned in the river..."
A series of gasps came from next door.
"That's not the worst part! The key issue is that the Auror discovered traces of the Imperius Curse on this dark wizard!"
"How could they be so arrogant? Was it the work of the UMNO? After all, they tried that leader back then, but none of his subordinates were punished."
"Maybe it's Voldemort? That terrorist in England, wasn't there a rumor that he was hiding in the Black Forest of Albania? Maybe he's already escaped and gone to Sweden!"
"That's possible... After that leader's machinations, the surviving pure-blood families all supported Voldemort..."
"Right? Pure-blood families possess a lot of profound magic; who knows, they might be able to keep Voldemort alive?"
"You believe Voldemort was killed by a baby? I certainly don't! This is just a ploy by the English Ministry of Magic to appease the public! Otherwise, think about it, what other achievements does Cornelius Fudge have?"
"That's true... All he can do is tout the current stability. It's as if it's because he took office."
……
Neither of the two wizards in the conversation were native English wizards.
Their subsequent conversation focused on mocking the English Ministry of Magic, mainly ridiculing Cornelius Fudge's lackadaisical administration.
Vizette and Luna finished their meal and packed up a lot of food to take back to their room.
Xenophius also woke up just then and ate all the food he had packed up.
While Luna was painting, Vizette specifically asked the crew for the latest issues of the Odin Daily.
The things the two wizards said were indeed published in the newspaper.
He even found a newspaper from a month ago and compared it with the reports about dark wizards.
In previous reports, the Swedish Ministry of Magic has been known for its swift action.
Regardless of whether the criminal wizard uses potions or magic, as long as he remains in Sweden, the Aurors can arrest him swiftly, taking no more than a week.
However, this "swift action" seemed to disappear after the Obscurial's attack on the Ministry of Magic. Even the dark wizard who was being pursued could not hide his whereabouts after his death and was finally discovered.
As he looked through the newspaper, Wizette felt a sense of familiarity, which reminded him of the Gringotts invasion last year.
However, this time the Obscurial succeeded. After stealing important items from the Swedish Ministry of Magic, it even affected their speed in hunting down dark wizards.
Having obtained the information he wanted, Vizette put the newspaper back in its place, shook his head slightly, and felt a vague sense of unease about the future.
Both Gringotts and the Ministry of Magic are heavily guarded places, yet unexpected things still happen there.
In a world with the extraordinary power of magic, the idea that "the safest place in the magical world" is just a comforting statement, nothing more.
Those powerful wizards would probably be able to easily break through these places and achieve their desired goals.
Even if a wizard who is not very powerful commits a crime, he can still escape capture and avoid punishment by using magic and potions.
Places like Knockout Alley are basically where these kinds of wizards hide.
Vizette let out a long sigh. "The magical world is far more dangerous than we imagine! Only by improving our own strength can we gain true security and protect those around us."
He currently has two ways to improve his strength: the first is naturally to study at Hogwarts, and the second is the "Wizards in Action" in his mind.
In addition to exploring Hogwarts Castle, it is also necessary to extend exploration outwards.
However, outside the castle, one must always be wary of potential dangers and carefully weigh the extent of exploration according to one's own strength.
In comparison, Hogwarts is clearly much safer.
He can communicate with Fawkes through his palm, and at least he will be more protected if he encounters danger around Hogwarts.
Thinking of this, Vizette stood up and stretched.
He planned to thoroughly explore the large ship and collect the ancient magical power contained within it.
After collecting all this ancient magical power, he planned to open at least two more pages to see if he could add some defensive measures to deal with potential dangers.
This can be considered one of Wizette's small aspirations, since the content of the pages that appear is random, and it's hard to say whether it can be put to use quickly.
The same applies to Ancient Magic: Improved, which seems to contain some kind of limitation, preventing him from making corresponding improvements to every spell he mastered.
……
After Vizet left, Dumbledore slowly walked to the same spot and picked up the newspapers that had been put back in their place.
He waved his wand, and the tip emitted a faint glow that landed on several of the newspapers.
Seeing the reports in several newspapers, Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction. "It seems... for some reason, they've become more vigilant. Good!"
He murmured a passage: "The new star carrying a four-leaf clover will eventually reach the ancient altar. The gears begin to turn, and destiny's course unfolds. The intertwining of the triangle shrouds everything in mist, and that eerie destiny becomes increasingly blurred..."
"If the Nova refers to Vizette, what does the Ancient Altar refer to? Could it be a wizarding ruin somewhere? And what is the intertwined triangle?"
He recalled his trip to the Department of Mysteries, where he happened to witness the Hall of Prophecy categorizing new prophecy orbs.
Prophecy orbs that can be recorded and stored by the Department of Mysteries often contain true prophecies.
This new prophecy orb is marked with the name Wizette Lovegood.
After entering into a magical pact with the Department of Mysteries, Dumbledore gained the right to apply for more information about the department's secrets.
After completing the magical confidentiality contract, he immediately submitted an application to find out the contents of the prophecy orb related to Vizet, only to receive two ambiguous statements.
Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly and sighed, "Prophecies are always so unpredictable; how easy is it to interpret them?"
"I never expected Trelawney to make another accurate prediction about Vizet. I wonder when I'll be able to enjoy retirement like Newt?"
Chapter 20: The Awakening of the Levitation Spell (Limited Time Only)
The Vasa will need to travel underwater for two days to reach Sweden.
On sunny days when there are no Muggle ships around, the Vasa will also surface, allowing passengers to sunbathe on the deck.
At night, the Vasa will continue its journey on the seabed, encountering all sorts of amazing sea creatures.
During the two days, Xenophilius did not forget to gather material, wandering around the Vasa looking for some strange and interesting stories to see if they could be published in "The Quibbler".
Besides teaching Luna some basic magic, Vizette spent her free time exploring the Vasa.
After Luna and Xenophilius fall asleep, he will go to the study and study "The Wizarding Guide to Combat" and ancient magic.
As he prepared for his upcoming trip to Sweden, Wiesett always had a vague feeling that something was waiting for him.
To avoid anything bad happening, he still felt it best to be cautious.
To do this, he consumed his stored ancient magical power and opened two more pages, obtaining two auxiliary spells:
"Elementary Composting Techniques": Mastering ancient magical power... Enhancing the effects of magical fertilizer with ancient magical power...
"Elementary Plant Cultivation Techniques": Master ancient magical powers... communicate with magical plants using ancient magical powers... slightly increase affinity with magical plants...
The appearance of the two pages will help him cultivate the Devil's Web in the future, but it will not play a significant role in improving his strength in the short term.
Vizette had anticipated the uncertainties of "The Wizarding Guide to Combat," so he was able to accept obtaining these two spells.
These two pages hold great promise for the future, and should be helpful whether they are used to improve the Devil's Web or to deepen the study of herbalism.
Moreover, there's a garden at home, which can come in handy no matter what.
After incorporating this aspect into his long-term plan, Vizette shifted his focus to the existing ancient magic.
The main goal is to continue practicing "Ancient Magic: Instant Shield" to make it easier to cast and avoid any unexpected situations in the future.
It's better to be safe than sorry; prevention is always better than cure.
Vizette wasn't always so energetic; she would sometimes doze off in her study.
……
"Vizet, time to get up... time to get up..."
A soft, ethereal voice rang out, like calling someone to wake up, but more like a lullaby, making one want to drift into a sweeter dream with that sound.
