The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 407
c394 The secret of time travel
A rickety figure wearing ragged robes slowly walked out from behind the giant snake sculpture. Although it is hunched over like most snake people, it is still much taller than ordinary humans.
Those scarlet eyes were shining brightly in the darkness, and the snake kept hesitating. Xing Ze even saw the smile on that scaly face.
Like the snake man encountered in Emberhead Village before, its scales are also white, making it look like a ghost floating in the dark.
“I haven’t introduced myself yet.” The snake man walked up to Jezebeth and touched the unconscious woman with the end of his stick.
After confirming that Jezebeth had really fainted, it continued: “Scia Reese, my name translated into your language is probably like this.”
Xing Ze let out a long breath and sat down on the ground, as if he was surrendering. There is no other way. This place is the snake man’s lair they have been looking for, and it should also be the place where Frank’s team failed.
At home, Xing Ze was not sure of going all the way. Death is inevitable anyway, so why not relax a little before death.
“I didn’t bring a gift.” Xing Ze spread his hands, “I’m sorry. If you want to hold the person responsible for breaking into a house, you can ask the woman on the ground. I know nothing about this matter.”
“Haha, it’s very interesting. You can still joke in this situation, which shows that you have good courage.” Scia Reese praised.
Xing Ze hurriedly waved his hands and said: “I feel embarrassed for your praise. So, how will I die? Will it be a happy death, or will I need to suffer all kinds of torture? I recommend that you give it a happy death. Many accidents happen. In fact, the parties concerned are too confident.”
“Kill you? Why should I kill you?”
“Look, what I just said. Save your breath, man. If you want to recruit me, you don’t have to. It’s been tried before and it didn’t end so well.”
The snake man did not reply immediately. It was obvious that Xing Ze saw through its intention. However, it did not get angry. It just said in a slightly arrogant and contemptuous tone: “Anything in this world can be traded, as long as you give a corresponding response.” Just the chips.”
Xing Ze was about to retort, but Scia Reese was the first to say: “You killed Errol Childs, which made me interested in you, young human. Oh, no, you are not a human. I don’t really believe that humans can kill tongue lickers.”
“Isn’t that tongue-licking guy you’re talking about a guy who’s stronger than a Nile crocodile?”
“Yes, it’s him. He is a respectable colleague, although he is a bit simple-minded.” Reiss replied, “But he has made great achievements in physique and strength.”
You call that accomplished? Xing Ze couldn’t help but secretly smack his tongue in his heart. Although the licking tongue was slightly inferior to Childers, who had a waxy face, from the perspective of ordinary humans, no, even from the perspective of ordinary wizards, the monster was deadly. .
“You seem surprised.” Reese’s face was full of pride. “When the snake people ruled the surface, Licking Tongue was nothing more than a ridiculous low-level guard. Even if we were defeated and went underground, it would only serve as a vanguard. That’s all. ×bai&%¥#@……”
At the end of the speech, the snake man turned to face the giant snake sculpture and loudly chanted a few words that Xing Ze could not understand. Xing Ze guessed that they were words of praise to the gods.
“You can have as many powerful bodies as you want. But a smart brain is not something you just have.” Reese pointed his finger at his head and said.
You can strengthen your body, but you still can’t strengthen your brain? Xing Ze has a new understanding of the snake people’s biotechnology. Or maybe it’s not possible to fully strengthen the brain.
“Since you are so good, what use do you need me? I am not a snake, I am a foreigner, and I am your enemy.”
“Ah~ don’t worry, you only need a small transformation, and you can become ours. Although the process is a bit painful, you will be able to survive it with your will. But…” Reese’s snake eyes narrowed. It stood up and looked back and forth at Xing Ze.
“Originally, this was my plan. But now it seems that there is no need to transform at all. You do not belong to human beings in the first place. You come from dreams like us. You are a product of the old era and the old continent, and an abandoned person of this new era.”
“I thought you could say something outrageous, but I didn’t expect it to be the same.” Xing Ze shrugged slightly disappointedly, “There was a cultist before, and he said the same thing. Guess what happened to him in the end? ”
A trace of sneer flashed across the snake man’s face, “I know who you are talking about, but humans are still humans. In the past, present and future, they are all the same short-sighted and ignorant.”
It paused and turned its attention to Jezebeth, who was still in a coma. “It’s all the same, no difference. Do you know her true identity? We call her the Adventer, and they call themselves the Investigator, or… time traveler.
“She originally hunted us. But, hiss~ she still can’t get rid of human shortsightedness. It’s no wonder she is, it’s just the bad nature of this short-lived race.”
“Eternal life is meaningless to me.” Xing Ze decisively rejected the bargaining chip proposed by the snake man.
“No, I will not exchange this low-quality bargaining chip with you. What’s more, even my great ancestors failed to step into the mirror of immortality. They just lived longer than other species. True immortality It’s in the ocean, the place where life was first born.”
“Oh?” Xing Ze began to wonder what the other party wanted to do as the other party continuously proposed and denied. This snake man could easily kill him without saying so much nonsense.
Xing Ze was not stupid enough to think that the snake man was bluffing. Those shadows hiding in the dark corners were eager to try. I am afraid that as long as he was a little bit wrong, those things would swarm in.
“I know what you want? Jezebeth is not useless.” Reese said, “You want to return to the original world, right, messenger? She has investigated it.”
This chip exceeded Xing Ze’s expectations. He frowned and felt unprecedented confusion and hesitation. He did not reply immediately, but thought quickly.
“What do you mean?” Xing Ze asked after thinking fruitlessly. He could guess that the snake man had magic that could travel through time, but he didn’t understand why Reese made this proposal.
“My ancestors began to study time, space and dimension very early. Although the research in these fields is far less than that in biology, it is not something that modern humans can understand. Oh, those wizards can, after all, most of what they learned came from the lost civilization of ancient times.
“Simply put, Xingze, I can help you go back, back to your original world. Isn’t this what you have been looking for?”
“Really? What’s the price?”
The smile on Reese’s face grew, “Help me get the snake eye in the Chamber of Secrets of Hogwarts.” It whispered.
