Reborn at Hogwarts - Chapter 145
c143 giant and death
“Ah, looks like you guys need my help?”
The old wizard blinked.
Ivan recognized his appearance, the former headmaster of Hogwarts, Armando Dippet.
He was also the principal when Voldemort was studying.
When they came to visit Dumbledore before, the portraits all disguised themselves as unconscious, and it was the first time that they spoke in front of Ivan like this.
“This is Principal Armando Dippet.” Dumbledore introduced, “I actually learned about the Chamber of Secrets from him.”
Armando Dippet, who looked like a shriveled old man, nodded reservedly, “Ah, yes, yes… It’s really a long history… I remember it was fifty years ago when I mentioned it to you… …”
fifty years ago?
Ivan’s heart skipped a beat.
Wasn’t that when Riddle opened the Slytherin Chamber as a student?
“It’s been a long time, Armando.” Dumbledore straightened his glasses, “But let’s save the reminiscence of the past for later. Why don’t you tell Ivan about the Chamber of Secrets.”
Hearing this, Armando Dippet sighed.
When Ivan looked at him again, he said quietly, “Son, I think you should know that Salazar Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets was opened about fifty years ago, right?”
“I know.” Ivan nodded.
“When Hogwarts was first established, Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts angrily because of some differences with the other three founders on the admissions criteria, and was in a certain school. This secret place left a secret room. Legend has it that he hid a terrifying monster in the secret room, hoping that his heir would fulfill his wish and expel those students who he thought were unworthy of Hogwarts.
“Fifty years ago, a student inherited his last wish and opened the secret room. However, thanks to our timely response, the impact of the incident did not expand and was resolved very properly.”
proper?
Ivan scoffed at the boastful remark, remembering the haunting ghost of “Moaning Myrtle” in the ladies’ bathroom.
It’s just that he wasn’t prepared to argue with a dead person.
Seeing that his words did not arouse any special reaction from the old and the young, Armando Dippet seemed a little disappointed, but he continued on.
“During that time, in order to deal with this problem, I consulted a lot of materials related to the Chamber of Secrets.
“In an ancient book found in the restricted area, I found the answer I was looking for, and learned some secrets about the other three founders.
“Including the Chamber of Secrets they built after Slytherin left.
“I have to admit, my first reaction after learning about these buried secrets was that it was all bullshit.”
Having said that, Armando Dippet was silent for a moment, and said bitterly:
“Unfortunately, all the clues I discovered later made me realize that it was not a lie at all, and it was a genuine fact.”
“What’s the clue?”
Seeing that Armando Dippet’s expression was a little dazed, Ivan hurriedly asked.
“Hrasvarger.”
said Dumbledore suddenly.
“What?”
Ivan almost thought he heard it wrong.
He knew that Dumbledore must know something about the Kingdom of the Dead, but he didn’t expect him to know the name “Hrasvarger”.
“Hrasvalgor.” Dumbledore repeated slowly, “‘The Eater of Corpse’, the giant eagle at the end of the bridge of the past.”
He looked very serious at the moment, and after looking at Armando Dippet, his eyes turned to Ivan.
Looking at the two old wizards who obviously knew a lot of inside information, Ivan didn’t know what to say.
Fortunately, Dumbledore and Armando Dippet were not going to let him take the call either.
“Grindelwald should have told you the legend of the Deathly Hallows.” Dumbledore said, “Did he tell you the story of Hraswald?”
“No.”
Ivan said bluntly.
“Hrasvarger is a giant.” Dumbledore nodded, without saying anything, but continued with what he just said, “He is the first giant we know so far.”
The first giant?
We all know that no matter what, the first is always the strongest.
“The information we can get is actually not comprehensive, and most of it is missing or missing.” Dumbledore said, “Legends say that, as the original giant, Hellas Valgar signed a contract with Death and put on a feather coat. Turned into a giant eagle to guard the bridge of the past for ten thousand years, and the god of death needs to fill his stomach with the souls of the dead.
“For such a giant, satisfying his appetite is not easy, but in order for him to work for him, Death has been doing his best to wander around the world and collect souls.
“Everything was going very well until one day, Death met three brothers.
“Yes, they are the three brothers in the legend of the ‘Deathly Hallows’. You will know the rest of the story. The three brothers escaped the trap of the god of death, and the god of death, who was furious, fulfilled their wishes in order to get their souls , gave them three treasures with powerful magic power, that is, the three Deathly Hallows, the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak.
“In the end, the boss and the second child died of their own arrogance and obsession, and only the humble third child was able to spend his life in peace. After all his wishes were fulfilled, he took off the cloak of invisibility and left with death.”
“Sounds like a very instructive fairy tale, doesn’t it?” Armando Dippet interjected, “but please think about it carefully—the final winner of this story is still Death, isn’t it?
“No matter how long the delay was, their souls still fell into the hands of the god of death in the end.”
Ivan nodded.
He understood what Armando Dippet and Dumbledore meant.
But in fact, he didn’t understand what this has to do with the secret room of the three founders…
“However, although Reaper won the final victory, due to the delay, the agreement with Hrasvarger was not completed.
“According to the content agreed in the contract, Death God needs to provide him with some extra souls besides the ones he should have.
“The time limit deadline is . . . seven years away.”
Ivan was stunned.
What the hell agreement…
That is to say, because the God of Reaper did not fulfill the agreement, he had to pay Hrasvarger some souls?
The deadline was eleven years ago?
He counted with his fingers…
Isn’t that when Harry Potter was born?
“So, if the time limit is reached, what if the goal has not been achieved?” Ivan suddenly had an ominous premonition.
“What else?” Armando Dippet shrugged funnyly, “Get it yourself.”
In fact, the outline did not write this at all… Today’s update is purely my temporary thought…
