Chapter 688 Raven: Listen to me
After all, the power of the Archdruid comes from "authority". However, at this special moment of Samhain, the spirits of nature will personally intervene in the process of the changing of seasons.
In other words, on this day, the permission already has its owner.
Those with the Lord's authority may not respond to Revan's call as quickly as usual.
Unless the Archdruid can replace the Spirit of Nature and harness the authority to complete the task of changing seasons.
In this way, the Archdruid briefly became the incarnation of the planet, but although this seemed extremely powerful, it actually required a lot of energy.
In other words, no matter what choice Riven makes, it will be difficult for him to get the most powerful help on this day.
In response to Rufus Scrimgeour's concerned inquiry,
Raven nodded in agreement, but then he shook his head and said softly,
"It's just that the speed of restoring magic power is not that fast. Don't forget what good things I have on me."
Riven slapped the alchemist's face jokingly, making a clanging sound.
This is an alchemical creation, and Raven is a disciple of the legendary alchemist Nicolas Flamel.
Rufus Scrimgeour clearly remembered that Raven had taken out a test tube filled with "Philosopher's Stone Solution" without hesitation in front of Grindelwald.
According to legend, this mysterious potion can restore the magic power equivalent to 4 Dumbledores in one go!
Although the specific measurement method and the unit to describe magic power are confusing, there is no doubt that such potions are extremely precious and rare for most people.
However, for Raven, these Philosopher's Stone solutions were like commonplace meals.
He drank magic stone powder soaked in water.
The potion that seemed extremely precious to others was actually unlimited to Raven.
Therefore, even if the speed of restoring magic power cannot be compared with that when the authority is fully mobilized, magic power should not be a constraint on Raven. Seeing this situation, a big stone in Rufus Scrimgeour's heart finally fell to the ground.
He took a long breath and murmured to himself,
"That's good......"
However, just as Rufus Scrimgeour was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly stopped and asked again,
"But I still have a question."
His eyes were fixed on Raven, as if he wanted to find the answer from the other's eyes.
"Why didn't you attack them before? After all, you have the authority now, so it should be easier for you to deal with those dark wizards!"
Raven smiled slightly, appreciating Rufus Scrimgeour's question. "Good question."
Then, he pointed at himself and said calmly, "I can be considered an alchemist for now."
Rufus Scrimgeour nodded to show that he understood, and motioned for Raven to continue.
After receiving the response, Raven continued,
"The entire magic world knows that you can fight with alchemists, but you can't challenge them to a fight, because an alchemist who has prepared in advance will have his combat power raised by several levels."
"If I take the initiative to attack, doesn't that mean I'm prepared? Then what does it mean when the enemy sees a fully armed alchemist taking the initiative to attack? It means that the alchemist is fully prepared."
"As I said before, this dark wizard is a cunning character rarely seen in the history of magic! If he finds out that I am ready, what will he do?"
Raven asked back.
Rufus Scrimgeour, recalling the slippery prisoners he had encountered, sighed and said, "He will definitely escape."
There was a crisp sound of "click".
Raven snapped his fingers and said in agreement,
"Yes, he will definitely escape. If that's the case, why would I have waited until now? My goal is to kill him! So I must not let him know that I'm ready."
Raven became more and more excited as she spoke, but Rufus Scrimgeour still felt that something was wrong.
Although Raven's statement sounded reasonable, as an experienced old Auror, Rufus Scrimgeour always felt that things would not be so simple. He thought secretly in his heart, trying to find the loopholes. However, for a moment he could not determine what went wrong.
It was not until he left Azkaban that he suddenly remembered,
"Does the enemy really not know that Raven knows about their attack?"
It sounds a bit awkward, but it's actually a very simple truth.
According to Raven's logic, he must ensure that his opponent does not realize that he is fully prepared, otherwise the cowardly guy may keep running away. From a theoretical point of view, this statement seems reasonable, but it is not the case in reality.
Putting himself in the other person's shoes, since Raven knew he couldn't get away during Samhain, could he have guessed that Voldemort and his allies would choose this day to attack?
If Raven could really reversely infer this time point, could it be that he had actually made preparations long ago?
In other words, in Voldemort's opinion, Raven's status can be divided into two situations:
One is to attack in advance, without waiting for Samhain to arrive. At this time, Riven is in the state of Archdruid.
The second is to wait until Samhain to launch the attack, when Riven will be in a fully prepared alchemist state.
No matter which mode, it will be extremely challenging for Voldemort's side.
After all, Barty Crouch Sr. (Volden Voldemort) must have witnessed Raven's attainments in alchemical arrays, and his abilities were definitely not inferior to those of the Archdruid.
This is from the enemy's perspective.
After understanding the above situation and thinking carefully, looking at the problem from your own perspective and reanalyzing it, you will find that
Since the opponent had made full preparations during the Samhain Festival to deal with Raven, a fully prepared alchemist, but was still not scared away, it means that the opponent is not afraid of alchemy at all.
If an attack was launched now on Barty Crouch Sr. (Voldemort's puppet), it would be equivalent to combining all the advantages of Raven as an archdruid and an alchemist.
According to Raven, doing this should scare the other party away.
Of course, this could be explained by the other party being afraid of a powerful combination of an Archdruid and an Alchemist.
However, this explanation is too far-fetched.
Since the other party was not afraid of Revan's identity as the Archdruid, nor worried about the possible existence of alchemical creations and chose to launch the attack on this special day of Samhain, then Revan's previous explanation was obviously not in line with common sense.
"Sure enough, he was just talking nonsense..." Rufus Scrimgeour made his own judgment.
After revealing Riven's deliberate deception, the truth of the matter becomes very simple - the opponent is just waiting for an opportunity for Riven to be weakened!
It's better to have the Archdruid's power weakened than not weakened at all.
The reason why Riven chose this strategy was because he wanted to take advantage of his weak position to fight the enemy.
Although such analysis may sound counterintuitive, it is very consistent with Raven's usual style of doing things.
It's neither reckless nor cowardly, but there are many cool moves.
Looking back at Riven's past experiences, except for the time when he wiped out the Bashir family and showed some of the style of an ancient demon king, other battles were more like a series of games.
Whether it is a "duel" with the sixth-year students of Durmstrang or a "duel" with Voldemort's Horcruxes,
For the "successor" of the ancient demon king, those battle scenes were absolutely spectacular.
However, when they learned that this person was the ancient demon king himself, all the "passionate" battles of the past became difficult to look back on.
How could a mighty ancient demon king be able to fight a mere sixth-grade wizard to a standstill?
You actually have to use the Broken Steel Sword to fight against one of Voldemort's Horcruxes?
This is just a joke!
This fighting style was also reflected in the fight against the three Dark Lords.
When Rufus Scrimgeour heard the person's description, he was overwhelmed with emotion.
But after he was promoted to Minister of Magic and learned the secret of the Black Dragon Witch, he looked back at that battle and couldn't help but have a feeling.
Raven never seemed to really give his all when fighting against these legendary wizards. It always felt that the intense battle was no different from when he fought against the two "little wizards".
Obviously, Raven was probably letting Voldemort and his allies off on purpose this time. He was treating them as some kind of fun level...
If it weren't for the existence of the "anti-counterfeiting mark" of the Black Dragon Witch, Rufus Scrimgeour might really not believe that the Ancient Demon King and Raven Weasley were the same person.
After all, the former are always so cruel, efficient and determined.
The latter, on the other hand, clearly knows how to enjoy life, enjoy fighting, and even enjoy the challenge brought by the enemy.
Compared to Raven's current bizarre and outlandish actions, Rufus Scrimgeour is more in line with the ancient demon king's idea. When people are eager to complete something, they will always be more rude.
Raven's current style, which is both volatile and steady, occasionally confuses Rufus Scrimgeour.
I don’t know what happened to this person in the past hundred years. Could it be that the great and loving spirit of nature inspired this dark wizard who already loved magical animals and plants?
However, this is actually limited by the times.
In a few years, Raven might be able to vividly demonstrate to Rufus Scrimgeour that after you type in [whosyourdaddy] (a cheat code for invincibility in a certain game), you will actually be very happy to see the computer player's ability continue to increase.
