441 Protection, Principal’s Secret Room, Method of Destruction

441 Protection, Principal’s Secret Room, Method of Destruction

Voldemort is actually here too...

Moreover, he even wanted to kill Abraxas with his own hands?

Aren't those his men?

"headmaster......"

Before Karan could ask the doubts in his heart, Voldemort sneered coldly: "Is this the helper you found, Dumbledore?"

He cast his gaze on the three children respectively. His gaze rested on Karan the longest, but he quickly moved away, and the corners of his mouth curved into a small arc: "A group of children... It was really [eye-opening] for me.”

"You will never understand, Tom." Dumbledore said calmly: "You can't understand the importance of these children to me, nor can you understand why Abraxas was betrayed by you, and Lucius, This kid who almost went astray almost became a dirty member of your group, but after the problem happened, it was me, not you, that Lucius found."

"You'll never understand."

Dumbledore repeated again: "This is a power you cannot understand -"

"enough!"

Voldemort interrupted fiercely: "Are you going to use your old rhetoric about love to influence me again? You are wasting your efforts and will only make me feel sick!"

He suddenly raised his wand and successfully controlled the surrounding fire beasts, causing them to gather in a fire storm and attack several people unscrupulously!

Dumbledore also shouted loudly: "You guys, don't stay too far away from me!"

He used powerful defensive magic, and while resisting the fierce fire, he condensed large raindrops, pouring on the beast like a waterfall, and made a series of sounds of flames extinguishing.

Callan did not dare to leave Dumbledore's protection, but Remus behind him lowered his head in shame - now he felt that rushing to the center of the battle was a really bad idea. They would do nothing but cause trouble for the principal. Less than.

But Dumbledore seemed to sense his thoughts.

The old man turned his back to the three children, and his gentle voice came through the resistance of water and fire——

"Don't feel guilty about this, kid. This is exactly the responsibility I have always insisted on as the principal——"

"Protect your students."

-------------------

In the headmaster's office, Snape and Lily were staring blankly at the Peverell family's box.

"You mean..."

Snape hesitated for a long time before asking: "Did Ariana have to leave early because of this box, which also prevented her from helping you deal with the sudden appearance of Burke?"

When Snape and Regulus discovered Lily in the Forbidden Forest, she was fighting alone on Berk. Snape initially thought Ariana had broken her promise.

But during this alone time, Lily revealed the real reason——

Since her last trip to the Black Sun World, Ariana had almost lost control because of the scene of the dying stag. This taught her a lesson, and she no longer appeared so recklessly, but instead took Percival, the phoenix, with her. .

This method was obviously very effective - except for Ariana being almost caught sneaking out by Aberforth, there were not many mistakes.

But during this sneaking into the Forbidden Forest, Bock opened the box in his hand as soon as he saw Arianna, and Lily also saw the brain in the box with her own eyes - but in Bock's hands, this seemed to be some kind of special tool The weapon against Obscurus caused Ariana to suddenly lose control.

Thanks to the presence of Percival, it took Ariana away in the flames the first moment she had a problem, and was transported to an unknown location.

Otherwise, in front of the frantic Obscurus, not only Bock, but also Lily, and even the entire animals in the Forbidden Forest would be poisoned by Ariana.

"But if I heard correctly..."

Snape murmured in a low voice: "Doesn't this mean that Burke has been prepared? He is even personally waiting for Ariana to appear..."

Lily nodded seriously: "This is why I rushed to the outside world to convey the news. So, let's go quickly -"

"Wait a minute!" Snape suddenly interrupted, staring closely at the box with the word Peverell on it, unable to move his eyes away.

"Lily, I remember you said that Bok failed to open the principal's secret room even though he knew the mechanism. So...don't you want to know at all why Bok took this box to the principal's secret room?"

"What are you talking about?" Lily stared at Snape suspiciously: "Don't tell me that you are suddenly interested in black magic again?"

Snape was silent for a moment.

"A little bit." He suddenly confessed: "But, Lily... don't forget Professor Meadows, she is still unconscious. And Merlin, Master Merlin rescued you, he also deliberately How could it be that you brought Professor Meadows with you for no reason?"

"Try it."

Snape looked at Lily and said, "Try to see if you can open the Headmaster's Chamber - just a try."

"I don't feel like it's going to keep Bock out for no reason."

Lily was moved by the proposal.

Snape was right, and Lily still remembered that Burke knew the location of the agency, but failed to open the principal's secret room. This was something wrong.

"Then I'll..."

Lily said and pressed her palm on a certain space in the cabinet - this was exactly the location of the mechanism that William had shown in the Black Sun World. Lily only saw it once and remembered it.

Then, changes actually happened.

The bookshelf gradually turned into a door. Lily stared at this scene in amazement. Snape whispered: "I knew I was right -"

Before the two of them could push it, the bookshelf door opened silently.

This place is still the way Lily remembers it - an empty room, or attic, with a table and chairs in the middle, and the Book of Access and the Pen of Acceptance are on the table.

But there are still differences.

Sitting on the chair was a transparent figure, like a ghost.

Lily covered her mouth in surprise, and Snape's eyes were bigger than bells. He had already vaguely guessed something.

Master Merlin stood up, turned around, and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Yes, you guessed it right, kid."

"I was the one who kept blocking Bock from opening the principal's secret room, and it was also me who deliberately took care of your other child - even though he doesn't know the real reason yet."

Snape asked in disbelief: "You...are you really?"

Master Merlin nodded cordially, waved to the two of them and said, "Come in, children. Don't forget to bring the Meadows, the box, and the Pensieve."

This was originally part of Bock's plan, but now it has been completed by two children.

After they walked into the principal's secret room in a daze, the door closed silently behind them.

"If you don't mind," Merlin explained gently: "Some things are better confined to this room. I don't have much mana to stop Voldemort from observing what is happening here. Summoning the lake to come is really a trick. Physical work..."

In just a moment, Merlin's figure became increasingly dim, as if he really couldn't stay in this world for too long.

"Fuck...the mysterious man is here too?!"

Snape was startled.

Lily focused on the word "lake", which reminded her of the legend about Merlin - at the end of his life, he was bewitched by the Lake Fairy, or by a creature called the Lake Witch. , was imprisoned for this.

"Okay, kids."

Merlin clapped his hands and said, making a clear sound, which immediately woke the two of them up from their random thoughts.

"We don't have much time, so why not open the box and try the brain inside in a pensieve?"

"This is the principal's secret room, which has the magical effect of amplifying magic. Perhaps, this will lead to some interesting changes. I don't know."

Lily looked at the box and the pensieve. She asked hesitantly: "What will be the change, sir?"

Merlin's smile was still friendly: "Maybe it's the past, maybe it's the future. But at least, these changes will definitely be useful to you."

Lily and Snape looked at each other.

"Okay then." Lily agreed.

Snape had long since returned the willow wand he had picked up to Lily, and the box no longer needed to be opened with the elder wand. It had been turned into an ordinary lock by Meadows during the Christmas holidays.

"Araho Cave is open."

The lock opened with the cast of the unlocking spell, revealing the living brain inside, clean and tidy.

Lily looked at the brain with disgust and disgust. Snape endured his nausea and came to help. The two of them carefully moved the brain into the pensieve.

Something magical happened. The entire brain melted little by little in the pensieve, turning into silver memories that slowly flowed in circles.

"And what next, sir?"

Lily asked hesitantly: "Should we go into this memory and take a look?"

"No need." Merlin looked around and said, "Memories have begun to appear...and it's not just memories."

Neither of them understood what Merlin meant, but they immediately noticed a change in the principal's secret room - it gradually turned into a dark room, and two figures appeared around them.

One was tied to a chair, and the other stared at the other person coldly.

"That's the Peverell brother."

Merlin introduced them: "They are the boss Antioch, and the person who was tied up - Ignotus."

Lily and Snape immediately watched the scene closely.

At the same time, Ignotus spoke, his tone weak, as if he had been seriously injured.

"I know what you are studying, Antioch. Emotional Occlumency, this is magic that goes against nature, and you will not have good results! Once Cadmus knows about this, he knows that you helped Elsa The purpose is to conduct experiments——"

"Enough." Antioch interrupted coldly: "Cadmus will not have this opportunity, and neither will you."

A tragic smile appeared on Ignotus' face: "Really, you have got everything you want."

Antioch slowly raised the wand in his hand and pointed it at Ignotus' head: "It's still a little short. However, with the help of blood magic, I promise not to let your brain be wasted. Dropped."

"Avada Kedavra!"

Lily and Snape were frightened by the sudden scene.

Merlin put his palms on their shoulders comfortingly. His palms were not cold, completely different from the ghosts in the school.

The scene suddenly began to change. After coming back to their senses, Lily and Snape found themselves suddenly appearing in a warm valley.

"This is Godric's Hollow."

Merlin said gently: "Ignotus likes this place very much, so his trance dreamland has become his hometown."

Not far away from the three of them, Ignotus and another Merlin were sitting on a bench.

"That's the soul of Ignotus." Merlin said beside him.

He led the two of them towards the bench, and the voices of the other two people gradually came to talk.

"The emotional sealing technique is not complete, and I don't know whether Antioch can achieve the goal of eternal life in the end. I can't see through my brother. It's like he was born this way - his whole heart is cold. , he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, he...he..."

Ignotus could say no more.

Merlin was sitting on the bench looking at the sky in the distance. He asked calmly: "Besides these, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Ignotus took a deep breath, as if he had made a difficult decision.

"Yes, Master Merlin."

"Antioch once showed me a prophetic scene. I'm not sure if it's true, but-"

"Show me," Merlin said from the bench.

As a result, Godric's Hollow changed little by little.

Everything was ignited, and the sky turned red with the fire. The beasts in the fire roared and destroyed the village. Traces of burned life were everywhere, turning into endless black ashes.

This is the fiery world that Lily and Snape live in.

And they immediately noticed the murderer who caused the destruction, the man surrounded by wild beasts——

"How could it be...Karan?"

Lily said with fear.

Snape's eyes widened as he watched Karan, who was not much older than he was now, fly into the sky, uncontrollable fire pouring out of his wand.

And Karan's eyes were even colder than Antioch's.

The picture disappeared little by little, turning into the originally peaceful and peaceful valley.

"That's all."

Ignotus said simply: "I think it's time for me to go, Master Merlin."

Merlin stood up on the bench and watched Ignotus walk further and further until he entered the house behind the two of them, where his wife and children were waiting for Ignotus to have dinner.

"He chose to continue."

Merlin seemed to be conscious too. He turned around, looked at the three of them and said, "I think you should understand the reason."

The transparent Merlin nodded silently.

"Death never does business at a loss."

"Karan thought he saw the future, but he didn't know that it was the God of Death teaching him how to destroy the world in disguise."

"And he's already done it in this imaginary world."

"Everything was lost in Li Huo's pursuit."
