Chapter 314: Changes and Constants in the Harry Potter World

If you ask what the difference is between the two Ares, Lin You can give many answers, but the most crucial difference actually lies in the places where the "God of War Combination" chose to commit the crime while fleeing.

Whether conducting experiments or carrying out specific sabotage actions, the real leaders will mostly choose a place they are familiar with; this choice can easily expose themselves, but it is not because they are stupid, but because there are not many options available.

The birth of the "unknown" cannot be separated from the basic laws of things, and its development context is extremely dependent on logical rules; even if the writer intervenes in the "unknown", he must pay attention to "reasonableness".

What is reasonable? Isn't it logical?
Therefore, if the "God of War Combination" wants to collect and summarize the laws of the "unknown", the most efficient way is to choose a world and field that they are familiar with; only in this way can they manipulate the development and changes of things through their familiarity with the plot.

Considering their origins, the best choices are naturally the Olympus mythology world and the DC story world.

"Judging by this standard, the leader of the reverse information infiltration in the story of Wonder Woman should be the 'newborn'." Lin You sneered, "Do you think, in addition to providing Moriarty with the poison gas formula, will He lay mines for us in other places?"

"For this kind of thing, you can't get the answer just by guessing." God looked at the fragments of the world of Wonder Woman, and his quiet tone reflected his inner worries; "Under the subconscious influence of the writer, unless the main line of a story is completely completed, there will be no 'unknown' changes at all; even the potential factors of change are difficult to detect."

"We can't just stand there and do nothing, right?" Lin You suggested, "So many angels have been resurrected in the Garden of Eden. If we send them out to conduct a large-scale investigation, we will definitely find some clues. For example, potential factors that may lead to 'unknown' changes."

From the perspective of the author and the gods, the birth and development of the "unknown" is like a domino game, and the potential factors of change are like the first domino in the array; even if the final result of the game cannot be seen for the time being, if there is a chance to find the first domino to be pushed down, it will be possible to predict where the entire array will eventually fall.

As long as the gods remain on the sidelines and do not directly reach out to destroy the card layout, this investigation will have little impact on the "unknown" and will not cause damage to the "unknown".

"They are not trustworthy." God said leisurely, "The angels in the Bible story are still sleeping, and the angels in the DC story are resurrected now; can you count how many times they have rebelled so far?"

Lin You rolled his eyes and no longer insisted on his suggestion.

The angels in DC comics, especially the high-ranking archangels and archangels, are not quiet. The number of armed rebellions alone is too many to count on one hand, not to mention the other messes caused by fighting for power and self-righteousness. It is easy to control them now that they are locked up in the Garden of Eden, but who knows how much trouble they will cause if they are released.

The "unknown" incident is of great importance, and these angels have too many little thoughts, so they really cannot be allowed to get involved.

"The integration of the Wonder Woman story needs to be slowed down. I will check the fragments of this world again; we can't leave any chances to those two Lords of War, right?" God's tone sounded relaxed, as if he was still teasing the two fugitives; but with Lin You's experience, it was easy to hear the uncontrollable anger in His heart.

At a time like this, Lin You wouldn't be stupid enough to continue adding fuel to the fire; the fire was already big enough, and if he continued adding fuel to the fire he would easily get burned.

"As you wish. Since there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first. The Quidditch World Cup is about to begin, and I'm busy with business at home." The writer almost instantly resumed his identity and position as Earl Goff, and his focus also jumped from the fusion of worlds to the business of the wizarding world.

The Quidditch World Cup is more than one game, but the most important one is definitely the final. A hundred thousand wizards gather together, and the venue rental, peripheral sales, and even melon seeds, soda, and telescopes can generate millions of gold galleons in just three or four days. The market is indeed worthy of the Forresters' patriarch's occasional attention.

In addition, Lin You also has to take time to care about the trial of Peter Pettigrew; as an "unknown" event created by the author, after Peter was arrested and Blake was cleared of his stigma, the "settlement" of the related events has yet to come.

Compared with the previous incident of the 72 demon gods fighting for the Holy Lance, it was delayed for more than a year. It was not until the day when Constantine decided to leave for North America that the impact of the "unknown" was finally realized. From this point of view, the arrest of Peter Pettigrew may still have twists and turns.

On the day of the Quidditch final, Lin You continued to lead a slow-paced life as usual; the old butler was anxious and running around, trying to urge the young master to hurry up, but he had to try hard to suppress his emotions and maintain his dignity and duty as a butler.

In one morning, the old man checked the tickets six times, cleaned Minerva's shoes three times, and arranged her clothes four times; in the end, the little girl became anxious and jumped on Lin You with her short legs to vent her dissatisfaction. The little girl, who was about to turn four, had learned to complain in fluent words, but the words were mixed with English and Chinese, so not many people could understand.

Lin You also complained half-heartedly: "Ken, I know you are anxious as an Irishman, but don't worry; there is still a long time before the competition!" He actually didn't understand why the old butler, as a Squib, was so enthusiastic about Quidditch, a wizarding sport. Thinking about it carefully, perhaps it can only be attributed to the special nature of the Forrest family, which can isolate the general malice of the wizarding world towards Squibs to a great extent.

Finally, when the time for departure came, Minerva had successfully made her shoes, which she had polished thrice, dirty; the uppers were covered with butter, and there was a thick layer of coal dust on the uppers. She jumped out of the fireplace in the dining room, leaving black footprints everywhere, and even tried to rub them against her brother with a smile.

The old butler had to calm down and change a new pair of shoes for the little girl, and asked the young master to use magic to clean the ashes on the princess's dress, so that they could set off "smoothly".

Before leaving, Lin You used magic to change his appearance and restored himself to his eleven-year-old appearance. Speaking of this, I have to mention the troubles that the "Sand of Time" brought to the author; when he just came out of the secret room, even if he used the excuse of "failed magic potion experiment and accelerated physical growth", the old housekeeper was still skeptical and looked ready to call the police at any time.

Fortunately, the entrances to the library and laboratory are protected by special magical restrictions, and only the current patriarch of the Forrest Family can pass through; this proves the identity of Earl Goff.

Compared with the old butler, it was Minerva who confirmed Lin You's identity earlier; the little girl recognized people without looking at their faces, she only sensed the breath of the Ophiuchus microcosm, and with the resonance of the gem on her chest, she knew that the person in front of her whose appearance had changed drastically was indeed her brother.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Minerva was bribed by the Athena Godhead that Lin You casually took out. At that time, the little girl was eating happily while holding the Godhead, so how could she care about distinguishing the real from the fake? Even if this brother was fake, as long as he was given to eat, it was better than the real one.

After such a delay, by the time they arrived at the Forrest family box, both final teams had completed their entrance ceremony and the game was about to begin.

Lin You was a little disappointed after missing the Veela performance; bored, he turned his gaze to the other spectators in the stadium. First, there was the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, who still mistakenly believed that the Bulgarians on the opposite side did not understand English, and was therefore fooled around. This scene was probably JK Rowling's allusion to Britain's declining international status, being despised and teased everywhere, and even a small country dared to make fun of the British leader in diplomatic occasions.

Turning his eyes, Lin You saw an empty chair with a house-elf sitting next to it; although he didn't know the elf's name, he could roughly guess that she belonged to the Crouch family.

Turning his eyes again, he saw several boys from the Weasley family fighting over gold coins, which were counterfeits made by the Irish leprechaun.

After paying attention to several key targets in succession, it was discovered that the other party was still acting in accordance with the established storyline; the "unknown" event of Peter Pettigrew's arrest did not seem to affect the changes in the plot.

It was not until he saw a familiar figure in the box opposite that Lin You discovered for the first time a detail change that was inconsistent with the original plot: Sirius Black appeared at the competition and openly rented a VIP box.

As expected of the young master of the Black family, he had the talent for extravagance and sufficient wealth. Beside him was an equally familiar figure, his fellow sufferer in the Marauders team, the werewolf Remus Lupin.

But other than that, nothing else in Harry Potter's world has changed; Viktor Krum still gets the Snitch, but Ireland wins by ten points and the old butler cheers, holding little Minerva high in the air and spinning around.

After the game, riots still occurred among the old Death Eaters; the Dark Mark that appeared in the night sky frightened 100,000 wizards, especially British wizards.

Among the various gossips that spread the next day, there was also an inconspicuous piece of information: the Crouch family had expelled the house-elves.

All these factors make Lin You confirm that the early plot of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has not changed much; so the question is: after Peter Pettigrew is arrested, who will help Voldemort obtain a body and implement the resurrection plan?

Perhaps, this problem is the main reason why this "unknown" incident has not yet ended.

"Could it be that just like the Battle for the Holy Lance, this incident will also be delayed for a year before it can be 'settled'?" While Earl Goff was pondering this in his mind, he received an unexpected letter.

An owl delivered a letter with a strong personal style; just from the six detection magics on the envelope with different ways of cracking them, Lin You guessed the identity of the sender.

"I recently learned disturbing news from a key prisoner - you know this prisoner is Peter Pettigrew. Although I am already an old man who has retired and has no interest in the world, Albus's commission and the common cause of my former comrades have driven me to bid farewell to my retirement and return to work.

In view of the seriousness of the incident and the need for confidentiality, I cannot reveal too much in the letter; only one thing is certain, this work requires the help of the Forrester family, just as your father provided us with help back then - although Albus still has doubts about this.

Please choose a suitable time to meet with me; I am not sure if Albus will be available, as a long-standing tradition will be taking place at Hogwarts this year, and I am not sure if the headmaster will be available, but I will try to convince him.

The meeting time can be chosen after the Hogwarts school starts; an important reason is that only in school can I have the opportunity to find Albus, or to use the words I used to like to use, it should be to catch him. Although it is a bit disrespectful to use this word on a great wizard..."

After Lin You read the letter carefully twice, he threw it into the fireplace and burned it.

Voldemort is nothing to today's writers; so what if he can be resurrected infinitely with Horcruxes? Lin You can kill Tom Riddle every time he is alive, and he can kill him until he has a mental breakdown.

But now that this matter involves the "unknown", it is not easy to deal with it in a simple and rough way.

And the sender of the letter, "Uncle Ace", who had driven away Mundungus at the funeral of the former Earl Goff and was also caring for the young new Earl Goff; he also played a key role in the original plot of "Goblet of Fire". Now that he has sent this letter, it means that he has encountered his predetermined fate at the original time point.

"It seems like there is one more reason to intervene!" Lin You sorted out the reasons and found his "reasonable" reason to intervene in the development of the situation; "Although Barty Crouch Jr. successfully escaped according to the original plot, without the assistance of Peter Pettigrew, he should not be able to lock Uncle Ace in the suitcase by himself, right?"

"Ace" means "EYES", which naturally refers to the old Auror who lost one eye and had an extra magic eye - Alastor Moody.

Considering the use of the plural form "EYES" as a pseudonym, there is a sense of self-mockery in Moody's words.

In fact, after Lin You concluded that Barty Crouch Jr. had escaped during the chaos, he kept an eye on the news from all over the place; whether there was an accident at Alastor Moody's house was one of the most concerned focuses. Because in the original plot, Barty Crouch Jr. and Peter Pettigrew attacked Moody, which caused quite a commotion and attracted Aurors; but Barty Jr., who had impersonated him, got away with it.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, waiting for the letter from Moody and waiting for the start of the school term at Hogwarts, I still didn't hear that there was any disturbance in the Moody family.

So, on the first Saturday after school started, Lin You came to Hogsmeade Village again and sent Moody an invitation to a meeting.

Out of "respect" for Moody's daily behavior, Earl Goff did not write a letter, but instead sent a "completely safe" invitation using the Patronus Charm.
