Chapter 289 Actively Creating “Unknown” Risks
Leigh Teabing was attacked twice by the Oblivion Curse during this rash invitation; the first was a display and warning, the second was a severe and detailed punishment.
He forgot everything related to magic, including the blood test magic that he was most concerned about; he also forgot the whole process of inviting and meeting Earl Goff. Even under memory reconstruction and psychological suggestion, Sir Teabing completely ignored the fact that the blood of Jesus was left on the holy spear.
The mental control of the Ophiuchus microcosm greatly enhanced the power of the "Forgetfulness Spell"; Gilderoy Lockhart's victims might still have a day to recall their adventures, but Leigh Teabing would never be able to recall his meeting with Lin You in his lifetime.
Wait until the day when the story of "The Da Vinci Code" is released, and then verify your guess in a Muggle way! If you are old, don't try to join the wizarding world.
In order to solve the trouble, Lin You had to find all the people who knew about it, and either cast a "forgetfulness spell" or sign a magic contract to completely eliminate the trouble.
Fortunately, Leigh Teabing also knew that the matter was of great importance, and he had only a few participants and insiders, so the workload was not large. Earl Goff was busy for a long time, and when he returned to the manor to take a breath, he found an "old friend" visiting him.
Gaunt O'Dimm was sitting in the reception room, while Minerva was leaning on the armrest of the sofa, looking at him curiously. The faint light from the locket on the little girl's chest made the Mirror Master restless, his body seemed to be frozen there, fearing that any rash move would cause a stress reaction from the gem.
The old butler stood behind Minerva, maintaining a polite attitude of hospitality, but in fact he was worried; he already knew the demonic identity of this visitor.
When Lin You came in, the old butler breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly; and Minerva's eyes lit up when she saw the figure coming in. She immediately put aside her curiosity about the Mirror Master and turned around to throw herself into her brother's arms.
Ever since her steps became more steady, the little girl quickly evolved into a complete follower. As long as Lin You was at home, she would definitely be within three steps; so much so that Earl Goff often had to hide deep in the library and pretend that he was not at home.
Hearing the "wuwu wuwu" sound coming from Minerva's mouth, Lin You understood what she meant and took out the Athena Godhead and handed it over. The little girl chewed it with relish, and the mirror master beside her twitched his eyes.
That was the main god of a gaming world, and his strength was no less than that of Gaunt O'Dimm, a demon who also came from the gaming world. But he was held in the arms of a baby girl and eaten as a snack?
"No wonder she puts more and more pressure on me. The light of the gem is like a sword, as if it can cut through my body and spirit at any time." Odimm moved his hips and stretched his almost stiff limbs without leaving any trace. "Aren't you afraid that she will have indigestion or grow too fast?"
This was a bit offensive to the little girl. Minerva's little face, which had been buried in the Godhead, suddenly lifted up and stared at the Mirror Master viciously. At the same time, she continued chewing with her mouth, and her cheeks were covered with sparkling fragments of the Godhead.
In order to help his sister develop good "eating habits", Lin You had mentioned words like "indigestion" and "developing too fast" many times before, which left a deep impression on the little girl. Although she didn't understand the meaning of these words yet, she knew that these words were very unfriendly to her - especially affecting her ability to eat happily.
As if sensing its owner's changing mood, the light from the pendant box suddenly became brighter, scaring Odim so much that he quietly moved a little further away.
Fortunately, Minerva's "appetite" was much bigger now, and the burden after eating was also greater; after a while, when her body began to digest the godhead, she became drowsy and soon fell asleep curled up on the sofa.
Lin You considerately cast a silencing magic around the little girl to prevent the noise of conversation from disturbing her.
"Tell me, what are you doing here again?" When he turned to face the Mirror Master, Earl Goff's attitude was no longer so good; his impatience was evident. "Didn't you ask me to come here?" O'Dimm spread his hands, pretending to be puzzled, "You said before that it was up to you to confirm the end of the 'Unknown Event'; now that so much time has passed and there is no news, I can only come here to seek a clear answer. Can I move freely now?"
Lin You thought about it and replied, "Okay, but you have to promise not to go look for Constantine in the first half of next year. If you want to look for him, you have to wait until the second half of next year."
By the second half of next year, Harry Potter's third year will be over; whether because of the job curse or the pressure from the Church, Constantine will definitely have to leave Hogwarts.
"That's great." Gaunt O'Dimm cheered heartily. "The second half of next year? It doesn't matter. I can wait. For me, the thing I have the most is time and patience."
"Are you satisfied? Then clean up and don't disturb my sister's sleep." Lin You ordered him to leave with an insincere reason.
"Don't be so harsh on me, Writer. Whether you like it or not, our fates have been intertwined since the moment you went to the Demon Hunter world." O'Dimm had an exaggerated smile on his face, and his aria-like tone seemed to be performing a drama. "Until the thread of fate is untied, we are destined to continue dealing with each other."
"Fate intertwined? According to you, Mr. Dandelion is a spider?" Lin You sneered; the power of destiny in the demon hunter world manifested as a god, and he saw it with his own eyes and merged into Dandelion's soul.
O'Dimm was still smiling: "Yes, this description is not wrong. Destiny is not a line, but a web; the God of Destiny is like a spider lingering in the center, paying attention to every node on the web. Although you hold a quill pen, don't underestimate the power of destiny; you can never fully and accurately understand it."
"Thank you for your advice... But, are you done?" Lin You's heart was slightly moved, but his face remained expressionless.
"About fate? Actually, I don't know much, so I'm done." O'Dimm slowly stood up, and as if he suddenly remembered something, his face was startled. "By the way, I heard that you've been jumping up and down recently, trying to create the 'unknown'. Are you trying to make a big news?"
Lin You sneered, "It seems that even if I didn't give you a clear explanation, it wouldn't affect your freedom of movement! You are well-informed. What advice do you have?"
"Advice? No, no, no, you can't say that!" O'Dimm's face was full of sincerity and concern. "It's just a small reminder."
"Reminder of what?"
"I want to remind you that the cooperation among the gods to promote the Great World Plan is actually a helpless move; their cooperative relationship is not stable, and you are also well aware of this, right?" O'Dimm changed his slick and exaggerated expression and showed a serious look on his face;
"If they confirm that the author - that is, you - can actively create the 'unknown' and increase the 'reality' out of thin air in the illusory dimension, I am afraid that their mentality will undergo some subtle changes. Have you thought about this?"
By the way, this is the final chapter of Volume 1.
