432 Purpose and Black Sun

432 Purpose and Black Sun

"puff!"

Steve squirted out all the lemonade he had just swallowed, coughed dryly and asked: "You said...what? This is a relic of Hufflepuff?!"

His eyes changed when he looked at the golden cup, and Karan suddenly realized - Voldemort in this world has never made any Horcruxes, so maybe he didn't think about collecting the relics of the founders when he was young?

"correct."

Saoirse admitted generously. She took the golden cup over, poured some more lemon powder into it, then shook it twice, and a brand new lemonade was brewed again.

"How about it? It looks amazing, right?"

Saoirse handed the golden cup to the stunned Steve and asked him not to squirt out the glass of lemonade.

"Food magic," Saoirse introduced: "Sometimes it can also be used as a portable crucible. That's how the two cups of sedatives were made."

This was more than magical. Callan had never thought that Hufflepuff's golden cup could be used in this way - especially the other Hufflepuff - Steve. He was wowed for a long time, even drinking lemonade. The movements were all cautious, and they were savored over and over again.

Several people gathered around Jin Bei. They watched with curiosity as Saoirse made hot chocolate and dew respectively, and were amazed.

After such an episode, the atmosphere between the two of them was finally no longer as conflicting as it was at the beginning, but Lily still didn't dare to look at the stag and the big black dog, and Karan and Ariana were always looking at it with a groan. Looking at each other.

On the other side, Lesa finally brought William back from the darkness. In William's palm, he still held a large handful of wilted herbs. He threw these herbs away after seeing that Karan really had no problem. Got out.

"Just stop causing us any trouble."

He still looked impatient when he spoke, then turned to look at Firenze and asked, "How are you doing? Do all these brats know what's going on?"

Everyone looked over curiously, but Firenze looked up at the empty night and shook his head melancholy.

"The centaurs are really troublesome."

William's tone became more impatient, and he waved to several people: "Follow me, and I'll talk to you on the way."

Everyone followed William, and they walked to the ruins of Hogwarts. They became silent for a moment because of this indescribable scene.

William took the lead in pushing open only half of the remaining doors. The glorious auditorium no longer existed, and half of the castle became ruins.

The interior of the remaining half of the castle is relatively intact, but the magic stairs have all been turned into ordinary stairs. It is hard to imagine what happened in the castle to turn Hogwarts into Into this ghostly state.

William asked the children and animals to follow him up the stairs, and Firenze followed at the end. He seemed to be still melancholy that he could not see the stars.

"You should have seen that altar, right?"

After breaking the silence, William added: "It's not the broken altar in this world, but the one in the original world."

They all nodded, and even the animals did the same.

William did not ask where these animals came from. In his eyes at this moment, there seemed to be no problem more difficult than the current situation.

"That is the altar used by centaurs to commemorate their ancestors."

After seeing that Firenze had no intention of explaining, William continued: "It's just that commemorating ancestors is only one of the uses of this altar. It can also do some other things - for example, calling the ancestors of the centaurs. The power helps seal the third eye of a little girl."

"In the original world, the centaurs did this - according to Firenze, that was the guidance given to them by the stars. They must do this, otherwise it will cause unimaginable disasters, and even lead to the death of the centaurs. Extinction.”

"But sealing the Third Eye is not that simple. This is an extremely rare talent, and it involves messy things like the mind. In short, the entire sealing process cannot be completed in an instant. It’s going to last a long time.”

"During this period of time, the ancestors of the centaurs used their Third Eye to construct an illusory world. When all the terrible things that the original little girl had foreseen happened, the seal would be completely over."

"But during this process, no one can get close to the altar, otherwise they will be dragged into this illusory world. This is nothing. The most terrifying thing is these disasters. Most people cannot cope with these terrible things - And you should have experienced some parts. The ground waves and branches in the woods are only part of it. We have not encountered the more terrifying ones, or in other words, those have already happened, so that led to all the life becomes extinct.”

In a short period of time, the minds of several people were filled with astonishing information - an illusory world, a disaster that would cause the extinction of all life - and the most terrifying thing is that all of this was predicted by the Third Eye. - that is, all of this is actually a prophecy.

"Don't worry, kids."

Firenze, who was walking at the back, seemed to sense the fear and worry in their hearts. He suddenly said: "Now that the centaurs have decided to seal the Third Eye, everything will change. At the very least, we will not be allowed to make the same mistakes again."

After Firenze explained, William continued to talk about the horrific scenes he had witnessed during this period - including the deserted Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the village of Hogsmeade.

Lily and Ariana were suddenly speechless, but Karan had heard these things before.So he quietly let himself fall a few positions behind so that he could walk with Firenze.

"Hello, Firenze."

Karan tried to say hello.

Firenze turned her sapphire eyes to him: "Hello, Karan, I have heard of some of the things you have done. The forest knows everything."

This made Karan feel a little uneasy. He didn't know whether Firenze was referring to the Acromantula, but he still asked: "Can I ask why you and William came here?"

He originally thought that Firenze would not be willing to expose the two's purpose, but in the end he was only half right.

"William has not revealed to me why he did this."

Firenze said: "But I...Although my people subconsciously ignored this, I did not forget the more guidance given by the stars - other people of my people cannot identify with the wizard, but I think When necessary, we need to stand on the same side as the wizard, so I decided to enter this illusory world myself and try to keep more dangers away from us."

Karan was confused when he heard this: "What danger...are you referring to? Is it divination from the stars...or...?"

What he couldn't figure out was this - where did the danger come from.

Firenze did not answer in a hurry. He looked through the broken window at the dim world in the distance, and Karan also looked over.

"As you can see." Firenze said softly: "In this illusory world, our current situation is only a part of it. It won't be long before the world will be overthrown and start over again, and we will experience it all over again. Suffer more, perhaps more terrible dangers."

"When this process has gone through the third eye divination as many times as possible, the illusion will completely disappear."

"And these dangers can come from anyone."

"There are the mysterious people you are talking about, and there are other existences that I don't know about yet. They can all lead to terrible results."

Firenze shifted his gaze back to the solemn-looking child next to him: "You are no exception, Karan."

"The prophecies about you are also in the twinkling of the stars."

Karan was not surprised by this. He could only imagine Antioch's blood magic, which could completely turn him into an emotionless machine.

Once he reaches that situation, and if Karan learns that there is a prophet as gifted as Sybil, it is entirely possible for him to avoid all risks - and after that, what will Karan do? He can control it.

Antiochus himself would take matters into his own hands.

But this man is also an unpredictable lunatic.

It's no surprise what he can do.

Firenze has revealed his purpose and the information he has learned - this illusory world is not static. It will not disappear until all the dangers divined by the Third Eye have been experienced, and the Third Eye will also be destroyed. Really sealed.

The person who caused these dangers could be anyone - Voldemort, or even Kahlan himself, and Kahlan also expected the two guys Death and Antioch.

Secondly, under the guidance of the stars, as long as the centaurs seal the Third Eye, they will avoid the end of extinction, but the risk still exists, but most of them fall on the wizards.

The centaurs don't care what happens to the wizard. This is probably the reason why the centaurs suddenly left the altar in the original world. They have strong self-esteem and will never do anything like mules.

But Firenze is different. He not only cares about the centaurs, but also the wizards, and believes that he needs to stand with the wizards when necessary.That's why I entered this illusory world with William and tried to find a solution to the crisis.

"Then will you do this again?"

After thinking about all this, Karan suddenly asked: "I mean after you successfully leave here, will you try to enter this world and experience more dangers?"

Karan wants to join Firenze - he is eager to know what dangers he will cause, and he even wants to avoid these dangers in advance to avoid being replaced by Antioch.

"That's exactly what I planned, kid."

Firenze said frankly: "But it wasn't until I entered that I realized that leaving here was not as simple as I thought. This is why William and I got together again - to get out of here."

"After this, I won't try again."

"So that's it..." Karan murmured. He originally thought that since Firenze dared to enter here, there would be a way to leave. Unexpectedly, Firenze could not even ensure this.

In this way, even if Firenze really gains something, if these gains cannot be taken out, then everything will be wasted.

Seeing that William's statement about the observation results was coming to an end, Karan finally said curiously: "I originally thought you would treat me very coldly."

After all, according to Firenze's observation, Karan may also be one of the culprits of the destruction, and he does not have the reputation of a "savior" like Harry, not to mention that the Acromantula incident is more like confirmation. at this point.

"I think you should understand why."

Firenze rarely laughed: "I was also present when the Trelawny girl was sealed. Like many centaurs, we all heard her last cry."

"We've been speculating on this for a long time."

"To this day, I think I finally understand the answer."

【I’ll try my best to fly! 】

This is Sibyl's last divination to Karan, and it is also the last prophecy of the Third Eye.

"Don't forget those words, kid," Firenze said.

Karan nodded silently.

On the other side, William's narration of his observations of the world finally came to an end.

"That's about it," he said with a gloomy face, "I don't have time to see more places with my own eyes, but I guess it's about the same."

"There is no life left in this world."

Everyone was in deep shock. Even Steve and Regulus, who had heard it once, could not really accept this terrible fact.

Lily squeezed Ariana's hand in a comforting manner, but her delicate mind could not help but think of her parents and friends - none of them survived this disaster, and that included herself.

William didn't give them time to continue grieving. He quickly continued: "But I guess these have nothing to do with us. Don't ask me who is the culprit of all this - all the evidence has long since disappeared. .”

"However, during so many days of observation, Firenze and I did have some guesses."

Everyone held their breath and listened carefully, for fear of missing any words.

"The first thing is magic."

William looked at the few people and said: "Here, you should be able to use the wand normally - but don't take it out!"

He suddenly scolded, which frightened Steve who had just taken out his wand and shook it violently.

"-Don't use any magic! Otherwise everything in the castle will attack us-you heard it right! All these dead things will come to life. Where the magic is, danger will follow. That's why I said Magic is cursed."

"This is just the first one."

William then said: "In addition, in the forests I saw, all the trees turned into elderberries, and not a single one fell. But from the perspective of inhibiting the wand from casting magic, this does not seem to be a bad thing. .”

"In the end, there's the sky."

William pointed to the top of his head and said: "Not only that forest, the sky everywhere is black, and it is also covered by an invisible layer of protective magic. No one can escape."

"The night also lasted forever. There was nothing like the moon, stars, not to mention the sun. There was only this damn black curtain. For three days, this black curtain remained unchanged."

"Dark Sun."

William finally said stiffly: "That's why we call this world the Black Sun World."
