The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 413
c399 Back to Hogwarts
“The survivors of Youhiss.” Xing Ze whispered, “Only those who have mastered extraordinary skills and nobles can enter hibernation to avoid the snake man’s curse.”
Ellie thought of something and asked, “Will these creatures live that long? In addition to these hibernating snake people, there are also many snake people here who have lost their intelligence.”
“No, that’s not the case.” Xing Ze shook his head. He paused, probably sorting out the information.
Soon he spoke again: “Although they live long lives, they have not yet reached the point of immortality. Most of those snake people who have lost their intelligence are the failures of previous assimilation experiments.”
“You mean most of it?”
“Yes, do you remember the snake people we met in St. Mungo’s? In addition to assimilation, Scia Reese also wants to rely on animals and humans as incubation nests for the reproduction and incubation of snake people. However, this The plan should still be perfected.”
Ellie’s face changed. As a wizard who specializes in black magic defense, she has seen many cruel black magic methods, including many human sacrifices. However, after hearing Xing Ze’s description, She still broke out in a cold sweat.
“So, what are we here for? You’re not here to educate me.”
Xing Ze raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Even if he was in danger, he would not be too nervous as long as he was around Ai Li.
“Dear young lady, what is your best magic?” he asked, pointing to the hibernating cabins of egg-shaped creatures above his head.
The eldest lady immediately understood what Xing Ze meant, and she couldn’t help but laugh, “It seems that you think the noise we made is not strong enough.”
“We need to bring the most important people here.”
boom–
The flames of the explosion soon swept through the entire hibernation chamber, and the heat wave raged around with the rising pillar of fire. Xing Ze did not expect that this wizard lady who was proficient in defense against black magic was also quite accomplished in destructive spells.
Before the pillar of fire rose, they turned into a narrow passage to avoid the explosion.
“Okay, this movement is enough to attract the guards of the nest. Let’s go to the laboratory.” Xing Ze continued to walk deeper into the passage.
This road can lead to Reese’s laboratory, but it requires a detour, and Reese and other snake guards will go to the hibernation room from the main passage, so that they can go to the laboratory more safely.
After walking for a while in the narrow passage, the two arrived at the core of the entire lair – Reese’s laboratory.
The air here is hotter and more humid than outside, just like the Amazon rainforest. A strange fragrance surges in the air, making it impossible for people to imagine that this is the snake man’s lair.
There is an area in the cave made of leather cushions and furs, as well as a hot spring that serves as a bath, which is probably where the snake man Reese used to rest.
Next to it is an alcove surrounded by iron bars, with the iron door tightly closed. Among them were three scrawny degenerate babies, rolling and wailing in the filth.
The experimental area is on the other side of the cave. A stone table contains a bubbling alembic, a retort and other unnamed chemical instruments.
There are three leather scrolls hanging on the rock wall next to the table. The words on them are the same as those seen on the murals before. They should be the words of the snake people.
In addition, the surrounding walls are covered with carved characters that can be seen everywhere. While Allie looked around carefully, Xing Ze walked to the experimental table and searched. He wanted to find the time-travel magic that Reese mentioned before.
Although he understood that such a random search was in vain, the obsession in his heart still prompted him to do so.
Just when he found nothing and was about to give up, the eldest lady next to him seemed to be attracted by something. She walked slowly towards one of the walls and reached out to touch a symbol on the wall.
“Door?” she whispered to herself uncertainly.
Xing Ze was also attracted. Blue Beak turned into a black cat and scared away the three vestigial babies so that they would not get in the way.
“What door?”
“This symbol.” Ellie pointed at the wall with her finger. The carvings in the area she was pointing to were indeed different from the others. They were crammed into a small space, had no pattern other than massive spirals, and were not intertwined with carvings on other walls.
“This is a symbol in alchemy, representing a door, which can also be understood as a teleportation array.” The eldest lady explained.
“Like Floo?”
“The principle is similar, but it is more primitive than the Floo Network. The advantage is that it does not require Floo powder, it only requires pouring in magic power.”
Hearing this, Xing Ze was a little disappointed. He thought that this was the time travel magic mentioned by Reese, but he never thought that it was just a portal.
However, he was not too disappointed. This portal would not be depicted here for no reason. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the carving array, intending to pour magic power into it for teleportation, and wanted to see where this door would lead.
“What are you doing?” Ai Li took Xing Ze’s hand and asked in a low voice, “We don’t know where this teleportation array will take us yet. What if it’s a one-way door?”
“That only shows that I have bad luck.” As soon as Xing Ze finished speaking, his whole body was sucked into the wall.
Ellie was both angry and puzzled by this reckless approach. She poured some magic power into the formation without even thinking about it. After a trance, she found herself in a forest.
Behind her, there was also a carving array for teleportation on a huge rock covered with moss and vines. She saw Xing Ze standing not far away, seemingly looking at something.
“I really don’t understand why you, who are always cautious, would do such a stupid thing.” Ellie came to Xing Ze and complained, with a hint of anger in her tone.
Xing Ze raised his hand and pointed in a direction and said, “Look at that, we seem to have come to a familiar place.”
The eldest lady looked into the distance, and the expression on her face gradually became solemn, “This is…”
“Forbidden Forest.” Xing Ze took over and said, “When Voldemort was still a student, he began to cooperate with the snake people, or to be more precise, to use each other. I think the carved array on the rock just now should be the one that Voldemort carved back then.
“It is obvious that there are traces of human destruction on it. After Voldemort’s cooperation with the snake people broke down, he probably feared the revenge of the snake people, so he damaged the teleportation array. But now, the teleportation array has been repaired. Reese should have found another partner. ”
The young lady could accept this explanation. The Ministry of Magic was unusually strict in its vigilance against dream things. On this point, the attitudes of both half-blood wizards and pure-blood wizards were surprisingly consistent.
This was probably one of the few things in the magic world that could make both sides stand on the same front, so it was quite difficult for dream things to enter the magic world.
Unless someone directly summoned those strange beings in the magic world, but doing so would inevitably cause irreversible pollution. The former Ravenscar Village was the best example.
So it was simply a fantasy for the snake people to enter Hogwarts, unless someone secretly assisted them, but even so, they could not get in.
Looking at the familiar towering spire, Ellie thought so in her heart. Hogwarts had magic monitoring barriers arranged by Dumbledore himself, and these monitoring barriers were used to prevent dream things.
