Beast Priest

"Ahem..." A soft cough suddenly rang out; it was Charles Potter, who had been quietly listening in.

"Since Mr. Liu has revealed so much information, our Potter Family can't keep it to ourselves. For the sake of Great Britain's safety—" Charles nodded to his second son Jeffrey, "My second son, Jeffrey, is the captain of the Transylvania guard, and has long been on the front lines of monitoring and sweeping away the Underground Necromancer Guild. I'll have him recount the intelligence we have! I believe this will help everyone deduce the current situation."

Clearly, Charles had realized that his intelligence was not truly "unique" and its value had rapidly depreciated, so he quickly had Jeffrey share it with others to prevent the Potter Family from becoming isolated.

To be honest, he certainly wanted to gain benefits from Dumbledore, especially the Potter Family's main lineage he had long coveted. However, he also understood that chaos was approaching and they could not remain unaffected. Joining the Order of the Order of the Phoenix, led by Dumbledore, and achieving a glorious victory would undoubtedly be a great help to himself, his family, and his two sons' careers.

To put it in the worst-case scenario, the main branch of the Potter Family is left with only a minor child. If something unfortunate happens in this chaotic world, the Potter Family will inevitably have to choose a new main branch to inherit the Potter family home and its legacy. In that case, Charles's branch will have to compete with other branches.

Jeffrey stepped forward and said, "My colleagues and I have noticed that the Necromancer's Guild has indeed become more active over the past year—although there is no evidence that they are directly involved in Walpurgis's plans in Great Britain, we have reason to believe that at least a few of their members have already made contact with Walpurgis."

Jeffrey paused before continuing, "Since its inception, the Necromancer's Guild has always adhered to the principle of non-aggression and low-key operation. However, due to the complex composition of its members, especially the many Vampire, zombies, Mummy, and other Living Dead, some members have consistently exhibited restless behavior. It's just that the situation has been kept under control under the surveillance and suppression of the Transylvanian Ministry of Magic —we suspect that this is an excellent opportunity for those black wizards who are always restless to step onto the world stage..."

"Several of my comrades have already sacrificed their lives to obtain this invaluable intelligence—" Jeffrey's tone was somewhat low, but he continued in a steady voice, "We discovered that Walpurgis's representative is actually 'Cobra,' active in West Asia—"

"A mysterious male wizard from Cobra has been frequently appearing in Transylvania. We even managed to track down a meeting between him and several members of the Necromancer Guild, and successfully obtained a portrait of this mysterious wizard—my older Rehn, is a bounty hunter who operates in the West Asia region year-round," Jeffrey said, as Rehn nodded to everyone. "He said—the person in the portrait is very likely the Founders and mastermind behind Cobra — Jafar Yahya..."

Rehn nodded and said in a deep voice, "I've been involved in the West Asia region for many years and have had many dealings with Cobra. Based on the portrait and information Jeffrey gave me, I'm 90% confident that the person is Yahya."

"What? Jafar is still alive?" Dexter Fortescue, in the portrait in the Headmaster's Office, couldn't help but exclaim.

Headmaster Fortescue, being the most knowledgeable about the History of Magic among all the headmasters of Hogwarts, was the most qualified to speak on Jafar's life in his Headmaster's Office at this moment. "It's been almost a thousand years, hasn't it? Another immortal old monster?"

"I'm afraid so," Rehn said gravely. "We find this conclusion hard to believe, but there is considerable evidence suggesting that this hypothesis is highly likely to be true..."

Ignoring the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Jeffrey continued, picking up where Ryan left off, "And among those who have made contact with Jafar is the one Mr. Liu just mentioned—Yan Feng, the corpse-raising man from the East..."

Everyone nodded in agreement—the information came from two completely unrelated sources, yet it was factually accurate, self-consistent, and mutually complementary, making it highly credible.

"Although we haven't yet found the guild leader or core members of the Necromancer Guild involved, the scattered activities of guild members are clearly increasing day by day—besides Yan Feng, there's another person who must be mentioned—" Jeffrey paused before continuing, "That's the famous black wizard from Egypt — Anubi."

"Anubi?" Newt said in surprise, "You mean the real power behind Cairo's underground black market—'The Beast Priest's Anubi?"

Newt traveled to Egypt in the early 1920s. By then, he was an authority in the field of Fantastic Beasts and was commissioned by Dumbledore to rescue a Thunderbird that had been smuggled and trafficked to Egypt from the underground black market in Cairo Egypt. After a series of thrilling events, he successfully rescued the Thunderbird and named it Frank.

Then comes the plot of the Fantastic Beasts movies— Newt escorts the Thunderbird back to its homeland, Arizona, in the southwestern United States in 1926, and while passing through New York, he is unwittingly drawn into Grindelwald's conspiracy, embarking on a great adventure.

Of course, what we're referring to here isn't Newt's experiences in New York, but rather his adventures in Cairo Egypt.

The character that cannot be ignored throughout the entire adventure is Anubi, whom Newt mentions.

Anubi not only the de facto ruler of Cairo's black market, but also an extremely terrifying black wizard.

He was originally a Curse-Breaker specializing in breaking the curses of ancient pyramid tombs. Later, by chance, he began to study necromancy and Dark Arts, and captured a large number of wizards and Muggle children for human experimentation. After his crimes were exposed and he was wanted, he became even more ruthless, directly organizing forces to openly confront the Egyptian Ministry of Magic. Nearly 20 Auror died at his hands, accounting for half of all Auror served in Egypt in the past century.

That's not all. He also slaughtered more than half of the Twelve Tomb Keeper Families, one of Egypt's oldest Pure-blood families and the guardians of the Book of the Dead, causing the entire lineage of tomb keepers in Egypt to be cut off.

Therefore, he was undisputed number one on the Egyptian Ministry of Magic's wanted list, with a bounty of approximately 10,000 Galleon in Britain currency. His notoriety was enough to frighten children in Egypt wizarding families.

During the process of rescuing the Thunderbird, Newt disguised himself as an international buyer to infiltrate the underground black market, where he interacted with several high-ranking deacons and even had a brief encounter with Anubi from afar.

In just a fleeting glimpse, Newt's innate intuition was enough to sense the extraordinary killing intent emanating from Anubi —an aura that only someone who disregards life and revels in killing could possess.

It can be said that Newt and Anubis are two extremes— Newt was born with the bloodline power of the "Child of Nature" and has an innate affinity for Fantastic Beasts; while Anubi possesses a different kind of personality power, similar to that of a wild beast, who is not only cruel and bloodthirsty, but also has extremely keen animalistic instincts—the instinct of Hunters.

Fortunately, he was alert enough to escape before being discovered.

Otherwise, he was 100% certain that he would be no match for Anubi, and wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
