William hasn't made a decision yet regarding whether to make a deal or not.

But as he visited Cadogan often... he increasingly realized that the other man had a particular fondness for boasting.

Cadogan's reason for boasting was quite simple: he was afraid others would look down on him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't so readily draw his sword, eager to have a showdown at the top of Hogwarts.

Therefore, every time William came to see him, he pretended to be his fan.

After patiently listening to the story of Cadogan's transformation into a food deliveryman and his misfortune in Longkou, I continued to inquire about Merlin's story.

If you could also add, "Wow, you're so awesome!"... the effect would be even more outstanding.

You can even find out the details of "King Arthur and Morgan's incestuous relationship".

But William couldn't bring himself to say something so disgusting.

He had no choice but to ask someone for help.

Who should we look for?

It's that simple. Just give me a hundred Galleon, and I can get a bunch of junior wizards to help me.

Anyway, the money will come back into my pocket, so it doesn't matter at all.

After hearing it a few times, William realized that, given what Merlin had done... if he were Morgan, he would have to become a dark wizard and kill him.

Of course, Morgan himself wasn't clean either.

She seduced her brother King Arthur, and they had an incestuous relationship, resulting in the birth of Gawain and Mordred, two of the Knights of the Round Table.

She was also a dark sorceress who had killed many people.

According to Cadogan, Merlin eventually killed Morgan.

As for Vivian, the Lady of the Lake, why she was trapped in a magical place Stonehenge... Cadogan's level was too low to know.

William wasn't sure if it was Merlin who did it.

It's worth noting that Merlin was also trapped by Morgan, and judging from the effect, it seems to have been the Stonehenge spell as well.

So... the "Stonehenge" Philosopher's Stone is really powerful!

Of course, this doesn't prove that Vivian is harmless, but William is prepared to pay the price.

After all, miracles and magic cost money!

After visiting dozens of times, William managed to extract Cadogan the inside information about Cadogan.

He also gained a basic understanding of Merlin's power.

Merlin was undoubtedly the greatest wizard of his time... without a doubt.

He possessed terrifying Prophecy abilities; even as a child, he Prophecy the events involving the red and white dragons.

He also Prophecy the birth of King Arthur and his rise to power in the United Kingdom.

This time span is even more exaggerated than Grindelwald's successful Prophecy of the atomic bomb explosion.

Nicolas certainly couldn't make Prophecy of that magnitude, let alone Professor Trelawney's half-baked Prophecy, which were sometimes accurate and sometimes not.

She's just here to be funny.

Merlin is also a Metamorphmagus, just like Tonks, who can transform into anyone at will.

He can also Dialogue to various animals, especially fire dragons.

Having just one of these abilities would be enough to make one a great wizard, but Merlin had them all.

This magical talent is often inherited through bloodline.

Merlin's mother was just an ordinary nun, so it certainly wasn't a maternal line, but nobody knows who his father... was!

Did Merlin ultimately die?

According to Sir Cadogan, he did not die.

Merlin did not die, but he had to leave the Wizarding World, and his whereabouts are unknown.

It's like where the Four Founders of Hogwarts went... nobody knows.

Cadogan information out of him, William ruthlessly abandoned him.

Then, they set their sights on Professor Trelawney, that old homebody.

Sir Cadogan's portrait was very close to the Divination Classroom, and William had encountered her many times.

Because of the delivery service offered by Akali's Mystery Shop, she now rarely leaves the North Tower.

When it's time to eat, House-elf will bring the food over.

Want something? Just order it delivered... it's so convenient!

Professor Trelawney is not short of money now.

Although I made a wrong bet on Bulgaria in my last bet last year and lost a lot of money... I still made a profit over the whole summer.

He just didn't earn as much as William.

But this man was terrified of poverty, and as soon as he had money, he started to squander it recklessly.

The Professor Trelawney used to carry looked like a fake.

It's definitely a fake. Those gems and necklaces are actually worthless.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be struggling financially every month, just waiting for McGonagall to pay their salaries.

Now that she has money, Professor Trelawney has thrown all of that away and replaced it with a whole bunch of expensive ones.

We also need to improve our quality of life.

Sherry must be a century-old vintage; the Prophecy Orb must be crystal; the tarot cards must be pure gold; the tea must be imported from the Celestial Empire...

William was certain that if she continued to squander her money like this, it wouldn't be long before she was penniless again.

But that didn't stop William from stealing her wine.

That was, after all, a century-old sherry, which Will stole every time to throw a party that night to celebrate Hermione's victory.

When Professor Trelawney discovers the wine is missing, she goes to Professor McGonagall and makes a scene, demanding that she find the murderer.

The 365th cycle,

William has been in the time loop for a year now.

In that year, I went through every activity that was available at Hogwarts.

William was no longer content with playing in Hermione's place.

He went to guard the checkpoint himself, and even stayed at the last checkpoint.

But William only did it once, and never went to the final stage again.

Hermione, Phoebe, and Cho arrived one after another, riding the Acromantula, the Abraxan, and Fluffy respectively.

This is really awkward; if he doesn't let anyone pass this level, who is he going to prevent?

In addition, William will also adjust the levels.

For example, placing a row of guardian stone pillars... like the McGonagall's Cheering Charm.

The Champion found themselves helpless against the onslaught of these stone pillars.

William will also add some Fantastic Beasts.

For example, his adorable little ones.

Matagot with a France flair; Albanian Forest Runespoor; Basilisk reminiscent of an escape Chamber of Secrets; a legion of Dementor led by Little Black Robe; a chilling Lethifold...

That night saw the highest number of casualties in the history of the Triwizard Tournament.

Everyone was stunned.

It was only then that William realized that the most difficult animal to deal with was actually the Matagot.

Although they liked to act cute and beg for cat food from William, they were still guards of the French Ministry of Magic.

Its most notable characteristic is its ability to split into numerous smaller units.

Once entangled by one, it will quickly split into a large group, making it difficult for the Champion to deal with.

William thought it was time to let Hagrid, that hybrid prodigy, do the work.

He was instructed to crossbreed a civet Matagot with Lou Williams, Fluffy, to create a three-headed dog capable of infinite division.

That would really scare a child to tears.

William would occasionally host special events during the day.

Potions identification and the use of alchemical items.

He then had his students conduct human experiments on the newly created alchemical artifacts.

He also had the newly brewed Potions tasted by the medicine people to check the saltiness, recording any side effects so he could continue to improve them.

This is all Fawley to the time loop... they're not worried about students getting into trouble at all.

After a while, William grew tired of this routine and felt that Hogwarts was no longer fun.

He finally made up his mind to go and make a deal with Vivian, the Lady of the Lake.

As long as he's outside Hogwarts in the time loop... Voldemort, here I come!
