In the auditorium, everyone's eyes were focused on the new Cardinal Bishop of the Vatican.
In this era, the power of the Roman Empire was rapidly weakening, but the Vatican's influence was growing day by day.
The famous Great Schism between the Eastern and Western Churches had not yet begun, and the British royal family had not launched a religious reform to break away from the Pope's rule. The influence of the Vatican had reached its peak during this period. Like other European countries and regions, the Pope was now the de facto supervisor of England.
Most of England was owned by the Pope, who could even dismiss the king or lord of Muggle.
In the world of magic, unlike the Muggles, the Roman Curia had the final say.
However, the influence of the Vatican in the magic world could not be ignored, because some of the members of the Vatican had inherited the magic civilization system of the Roman Empire. They had always claimed that they were the authentic source of magic. The Vatican and the popes of the past had never given up their efforts to suppress, manage, and incorporate wizards. They had used many methods, and even launched the Holy War and the famous Witch Hunt. As the most famous and important wizard gathering area in the world, the magic world of England had always been the first.
In the eyes of the priests and monks of the Vatican, wizards were out-and-out heretics.
However, in this era, the attitude of the Vatican towards the magic world was not so extreme. Instead, it was a relatively gentle influence and influence, so the relationship between the two sides was not so sharp. The Vatican was the most powerful force in the magic world, apart from the Council of Elders.
They were very powerful. In addition to their own priests and monks, they had also recruited many wizards.
Therefore, although the relationship between the two sides was not very friendly, no one dared to ignore the visit of a Cardinal. This was an existence within the Vatican, second only to the Pope. Whether they were willing or not, the wizards on the stage greeted the Cardinal.
Only Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor were exceptions. They did not accept the greeting.
Slytherin's appearance was originally intended to keep the peace, to avoid possible disputes and turmoil, and to maintain the stability of the magic world. He knew about the conspiracy of the pure-blood wizard family, and he had also guessed Ravenclaw's plan. He originally wanted to mediate, but with the arrival of the Cardinal, there was no way to stop it.
Slytherin muttered to himself that he was bored. He glanced at the entrance of the auditorium and disappeared.
It was as if he had never appeared. With Slytherin's departure, the pressure in the air was significantly reduced.
Many wizards let out a sigh of relief, especially those from Slytherin Academy.
Elwyn felt that his body had become much lighter. Around him, many students were whispering about how scary it was.
Slytherin's domain magic and the pressure it brought were too obvious. The magic he emitted was constantly controlling the auditorium. This was a crushing of power. At this time, Salazar Slytherin had already become the most powerful mage in the world of magic.
After Slytherin left, Gryffindor took the initiative to greet him and walked to the side of the honorable cardinal.
They exchanged a few words, but Elwyn did not hear them clearly. Gryffindor seemed to be saying that the other party was not invited …
"Oh, yes, I did not receive an invitation to speak." The cardinal raised his voice and replied, "But I came to Hogwarts today because of the guidance of the gods and the joint invitation of three respected wizards. I am here to witness the truth!"
"A respected Magus?! How come I don't know who invited you to Hogwarts? "
"It's us!" A languid voice rang out, and a skinny, pale-faced wizard hurried into the hall.
He had eye-catching long blond hair. As he walked through the crowd to the central platform, he nodded to the cardinal on the stage.
Needless to say, he must be another member of the Malfoy family.
He might be the father of the guy just now. Elwyn greeted him from behind the two boys.
Then, Clive Peverell saw Elwyn near the entrance of the auditorium and waved at Elwyn, asking him to come over.
This guy probably thought that Elwyn was Annie Blake. Elwyn looked away.
From the surrounding discussion, he knew that the guy who just came in was the leader of the Malfoy family.
"You invited him? That's ridiculous. Since when did Hogwarts become the castle of the Malfoy family?! "Gryffindor said loudly.
"Not only the Malfoy family, but also the Peverell family and the Blake family. This was a decision made by the three families."
"Hmph, the decision made by you stubborn, conservative pure-blooded wizard families is worthless in Hogwarts."
"What about the Elder Council? Does the Hogwarts obey the orders of the Elder Council? " Malfoy asked with a sneer. He took out a thick roll of parchment from his pocket. "In fact, I just received an appointment. After receiving a report about the loss of Ms. Ravenclaw's Coronet, the Elder Council discussed and decided to investigate this matter 20 minutes ago. They appointed me, Armand Malfoy, to investigate this matter. Do you need me to read the contents of the appointment? "
"You were appointed by the Elder Council?! This is a despicable conspiracy! "Gryffindor said loudly." It can't be that fast … "
"Please watch your words, Gryffindor. Otherwise, I will think that you are challenging the authority of the Elder Council," Armand Malfoy said slowly. Armand Malfoy said slowly, "What are you questioning? Is this appointment and my sudden appearance very dramatic?! To be honest, I was also very surprised when I received the letter from my son and my dear Clive this morning. I finished the meeting with the Peverell family and the Blake family as soon as possible and evaluated the situation. For the sake of the stability of the magic world, the three of us hope to investigate this matter and persuaded the Elder Council to make a last-minute decision. After all, like the three of us, all the members of the Elder Council who attended the last minute meeting seemed to think that whether Ms. Ravenclaw's Coronet was really lost is a very important matter. "
"Thank you for your concern!" Ravenclaw said calmly. "The Elder Council has shown amazing efficiency in this matter."
This sentence was undoubtedly sarcastic. Armand Malfoy did not reply.
It seemed that they were obviously working on both sides at the same time and had thought of everything. They were really in a hurry!
In order to avoid any accidents, they did not plan to leave any chance for Ravenclaw.
"Wait, even if you are in charge of this matter, what does it have to do with this ridiculous monk?" Gryffindor asked.
