Chapter 406: Vicious Trick

After breakfast, according to their usual habit, Harry and Luo Nade came to the library and sat with Zhang Qiu. It's just that this time, both of them couldn't help but look at Hermione a few more times.

"I have to say, I was a bit presumptuous when I told you about the Knight System last time," Zhang Qiu scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly. "The first generation Knight System was made by my master himself. After being recycled, it was only after many years that the second generation Knight System was made through the improvement of my master's uncle."

"Yes, but this 'many years' shouldn't be as long as hundreds of years, right?" Harry said his doubts.

"It really is," Zhang Qiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "My master developed the first generation Knight System to help the Muggle king at that time quell the rebellion, and that era was about... the mid-17th century."

"Then didn't your master live for more than three hundred years?" Luo Nade was a little surprised.

"Still okay, compared to Nicolas Flamel, it hasn't been that long," Harry found a reference to help understand. "In this way, it's about right. Greglio said that vampires overthrew the royal family at the end of the 18th century. The hundred-plus years of rule established the concept that Moon Knight equals royal family among the vampire clan—this is quite reasonable."

Zhang Qiu nodded slightly. She also seemed to feel that this statement was no problem.

"Speaking of which, in the process of vampires overthrowing the royal family, they should have fought with the Moon Knight, right?" Luo Nade was still thinking about this key event of "Moon Knight being defeated."

"I just told you, as an individual with super power, it is impossible for the Moon Knight to be defeated by a group fight, because if he can't beat him, he can run," seeing that Zhang Qiu didn't seem to intend to speak, Harry had to repeat his point of view. "The only point is that as a symbol of the royal family at that time, breaking through and running away was a failure in political significance. I judged based on this point that Greglio's claim of 'encircling and suppressing the Moon Knight' was just a way to gild himself, which didn't help us judge the strength of the Moon Knight much."

"Probably so," Luo Nade sounded a little dull. "But I still think, why don't you ask Mia about Blood Magic in a while, at least you can listen to whether they used Blood Magic to deal with the Moon Knight at that time."

"Mia didn't say, most likely it was not, and no matter whether it was or not, it has nothing to do with us," for Luo Nade's inexplicable fluke mentality, Harry felt that this could not be indulged. "The important thing is that you need to defeat the Moon Knight. Otherwise, counting on vampires is not as good as counting on Mr. Jinshang Xiangyi."

Luo Nade fell into silence. Zhang Qiu didn't seem to have much to say today either. Harry looked at the two of them, then spread out his homework book and started painting and writing, while his heart was always thinking about Luo Nade's mentality problem. He was really worried about whether the current Luo Nade could defeat the Moon Knight with this mentality.

About half an hour later, Luo Nade suddenly stood up and said: "I don't want to write anymore, I'll go out for a walk."

Harry didn't stop him, just looked at Luo Nade's receding back with doubt. Immediately afterward, under Zhang Qiu's low-key identification, he belatedly noticed that Hermione had also left her seat.

"When did they start again?" Zhang Qiu asked slowly.

"Probably last night, Luo Nade told Hermione about the vampire matter and involved her... honestly, this matter is far more complicated than they thought. I'm still worried."

"What are you worried about?"

"I still haven't figured out what the Moon Knight is about," Harry shook his head. "Is he just a vampire who lost his mind, or a whetstone prepared for Luo Nade?"

"Can't it be both?" Zhang Qiu's tone was a bit playful.

"I don't think so," Harry analyzed very seriously. "The story of the Moon Knight, his background, and the way he appeared in front of us all have too many artificial traces. So either believe this story and treat the Moon Knight as an ordinary enemy; or deny it completely, then the Moon Knight can only be a stepping stone prepared for Luo Nade, a test."

"If it's the former, what do you plan to do?" Zhang Qiu's fingers tapped the table slowly.

"Encircle and suppress him by any means. Sirius has already made some contingency plans," Harry shook his head. "I'm worried that it will be very dangerous for Luo Nade to face him alone."

"Is that so? Then what if it's the latter?" Zhang Qiu asked softly.

"Then try to see if I can correct Luo Nade's mentality," Harry sighed. "The more he knows, the more he wants to escape."

"In fact, I have a piece of information I didn't tell him, because this is also something that makes me feel suspicious," Zhang Qiu said hesitantly. "Or rather, because it's just something I observed and noticed myself, I dare not say it is definitely correct."

"What information?"

"The current Knight System was developed by my master's uncle, which means that the Knight System developed by my master three hundred years ago shouldn't look like this now," Zhang Qiu lowered her voice. "But you also noticed that the belt used by the Moon Knight is exactly the latest style."

"So, the current Moon Knight is likely not the Moon Knight forgotten to be recycled three hundred years ago, but your master didn't tell you this point, but instead misled you into believing the vampire's story?" Harry felt that this was indeed a crucial piece of information, but he still instinctively found an explanation for this doubt. "But it is also possible that your master's uncle just made some improvements and fine-tuning to the Knight System three hundred years ago, and the similarity in appearance like the belt style may not necessarily serve as a complete judgment."

"But I have finished reading all the memories of my master's uncle. What I can be sure of is that there would absolutely not be the current Build system three hundred years ago—" Zhang Qiu shook her head somewhat irritably. "But it's hard to say what's going on with the Moon Knight. My master suggested that I treat Ma Erfu as that whetstone. He said he also didn't know who the person behind Ma Erfu was."

"Your master also doesn't know who the person behind Ma Erfu is? I thought he was omniscient and omnipotent in Tianchao," Harry shook his head. "Or is it that he just didn't intend to tell you?"

"I think it should be the former... because it seems I vaguely heard that there has always been a secret society plotting against Master Xuanjun," Zhang Qiu said with a solemn face. "Master feels that no matter who the person behind Ma Erfu is, Luo Nade will definitely have no pressure to defeat Ma Erfu. Doing so can not only help Luo Nade build confidence and play a role in honing him, but also put pressure on the person behind him, forcing him to jump out. This is also beneficial to our big layout. Master still hopes to minimize variables as much as possible."

"Did you just think of this? I mean this plan to bully Ma Erfu?" Harry smiled because he found it interesting, but he didn't forget the business. "But bullying Ma Erfu is another matter. We still have to think clearly about the nature of the Moon Knight."

"Perhaps Luo Nade may not necessarily be unable to beat the Moon Knight, he just needs a little confidence. I hope bullying Ma Erfu can help him build this confidence," Zhang Qiu said. "As for the Moon Knight, no matter if he is a real enemy or a test, he is an object that Luo Nade must defeat. By the moment Luo Nade defeats him, the truth about the Moon Knight will come to light."

"But if the Moon Knight—"

"You also hope that Luo Nade can become the strongest knight, right?" Zhang Qiu interrupted him. "So you can't use off-site means to solve the enemy for him, that will cause flaws in his strong heart."

Harry felt that what Zhang Qiu said made some sense, but he was still worried and couldn't help but say again, "In case of emergency, Mr. Jinshang Xiangyi..."

"Better forget him," Zhang Qiu shrugged. "A person with a way out cannot exert his full strength."

"That is to say, even if you want to prepare a way out in secret, you can't let Luo Nade know, right?" Harry sighed.

"But what other way out can we prepare in secret? No matter how huge the forces outside the school are, they can't be carried around at all times," Zhang Qiu shrugged. "If you are really worried, why don't you try to see if you can break through Occlumency and transform into a Kamen Rider yourself? Of course, this must be done behind Luo Nade's back."

Harry didn't say anything more. He knew his thoughts were far from as pure as Luo Nade's. And, if he were really allowed to transform, which two elements should he choose? Various options and answers swirled in his mind. Finally, Harry cleared all these wild thoughts. He at least had to satisfy the point where the belt could automatically buckle onto his waist, but the existence of Occlumency made it difficult for him to mobilize enough intense emotions.

Another long silence, until it was close to mealtime, Luo Nade returned to the desk with his hands in his pockets and a light pace.

"We should get ready to eat," he said frivolously.

"Were you with Hermione just now?"

"Met on the way, just chatted a few words," Luo Nade said casually. "She said Harry can always think of a way, right?"

"What way, are you talking about the Moon Knight and the vampire matter?" Harry sighed. He really couldn't think of any good way about this matter alone. To solve the problem of "insufficient strength," I am afraid that one really needs to have some amazing wisdom as Zhang Qiu said.

"Regarding this, Harry just thought of a good way," Zhang Qiu said without taboo. "You can fight Ma Erfu first."

"Ah?" Luo Nade scratched his head. "Is, is it necessary?"

"The main reason is that Zhang Qiu hopes you can put pressure on the person behind him by defeating Ma Erfu. She suspects that the person is related to some conspiracy against Master Xuanjun in Tianchao," Harry said this hoping Luo Nade wouldn't think too much. "Secondly, I think accumulating a little more actual combat experience will be helpful for fighting the Moon Knight."

"Hope so," Luo Nade muttered. "But it's true, I wouldn't be unable to beat even Ma Erfu." ===== CHAPTER 407 =====
