Chapter 288 Booty
After swimming for a long time, Hermione finally saw a glimmer of light in the distance, which made her subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.After all, in such a dark and depressing environment, it is only reassuring to be able to see the light.
And when Hermione turned her head to look at Luke, she found that Luke had a wand floating in his hand.
Below the wand there is a disk formed by magic power.It looks like the overall shape is like a compass.
Hermione was a little curious about what Luke was doing, but she had no way to speak in the water, so she could only watch Luke operate, expecting Luke to look back at her and see the curiosity on her face.
But it's a pity that Luke seemed to be very immersed in this matter, and didn't care about Hermione at all.Hermione gave Luke an annoyed look.But...it was still useless, Luke still didn't see her move.
But Hermione's unhappiness didn't last too long, and soon she felt a pulling force upwards.
It's about to float.
Hermione was also clearly aware of this.And she finally saw Luke put away his wand.
"Be careful, you don't know what will happen above. Don't think too well of these four guys. After all, they are just ordinary people."
Luke's voice rang in her ears, making Hermione feel a little uncomfortable.
Since coming to Hogwarts to study, Hermione has been in contact with the great Big Four every day.They founded Hogwarts and created a precedent for education in the British wizarding world.
Hogwarts still has many secrets that cannot be found out.These secrets are a testament to the strength of the Big Four.After all, the current headmaster, Dumbledore, is second to none in terms of strength in the entire British magic world, and even in the world of wizards.
He didn't find out these secrets either, although it might be because of his busy schedule, or because he didn't have the intention.But in the end, if you didn't find it, you didn't find it. There is no need to distinguish why.
No matter what the reason is, as long as you don't find it, it's a bad move, and it will become a stepping stone for others' reputation.
Of course Dumbledore would not care about this with a few dead people.
Of course, if these people are still alive, then it can only be said that this is not a shame.
Under such circumstances, no matter how rational Hermione was, she would feel admiration for these people.What's more, Hermione is not a particularly sensible girl.Although she is a little more intelligent than the average classmates, she is still a little girl after all.
What Luke said now, can't be said to have stepped on the ground of these legendary b-characters, at least it can be regarded as disrespectful to the immortal master.
However, Luke said this, and no one can refute it.Without knowing whether the other three giants still have blood left in the world.Luke can be said to be the person who knows the history of the Big Four best.
What's more, Luke has really dealt with people among the Big Four.
Although Luke himself couldn't tell whether the person who communicated with him in the chamber of secrets was a genuine Slytherin or not.
Luke can feel Hermione's slightly complicated thoughts, but he can't read Hermione's thoughts like Taylor after all. If he knew what Hermione was thinking, then he would definitely tell Hermione clearly that he It's all true.
….The various information obtained so far shows that the Big Four cannot be said to be superior, but they can only be said to be full of human nature.If you want to use gods as an example, then it should be the Greek gods.
Human nature seems to be overflowing.
This is also what makes Luke feel emotional.If a person becomes a superior being, then the state of being overwhelmed and lonely is always unavoidable.Fortunately, in the era of the Big Four, they were a small group of four.In the current era, Dumbledore also has Grindelwald as his partner.
Judging from past experience, the Grindelwald of this world will obviously not die silently in a small cell in Nurmengard like the Grindelwald in the original book of the previous life.
Judging from the activity of the saints in this parallel world, Grindelwald in this world obviously has some special ideas.I don't know if these thoughts have anything to do with Luke.
Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid it will not be unrelated.
The light in front of them became brighter and brighter, and soon, Hermione and Luke felt the feeling of breaking through the water.
"call!"
Although she didn't delay her breathing underwater, even so, Hermione took a greedy breath when her head really came out of the water.
Luke's expression was quite calm. The first time he surfaced, he observed the surrounding situation with the light in front of him.
Here is a hollow, not far from them, there is a piece of land, there is nothing else on this land, only a small table, there seems to be something on it.
Those lights came from the surrounding mountain walls.
With a glance, Luke's childish hole shrank even though he was mentally prepared.
And at this time, Hermione also saw the things placed in the bright places on the wall.
"Lu... Luke... this..."
Hermione said in a somewhat complicated manner.
"The spoils of war should be all spoils of war."
Luke looked at the armor on the wall, the sword, the broken wand, and, quite a few, the heads.
That's right, head.Of course, there are no human heads.The heads of various magical animals, the most obvious of which is a huge dragon head.This faucet is much larger than the size stated in the book.
For Luke and Hermione, the only dragon they've ever seen is Norbert's little dragon that hasn't grown up.And that little dragon... really left a deep impression on Luke.He felt that if he could see this guy in the future, he would definitely beat it up.
After all, he was the little bastard who left a deep shadow on Taylor.
And on this wall, there is not nothing more conspicuous than the faucet.
On the red velvet textured tapestry, embroidered is a golden lion that is roaring.The style is not realistic, but a relaxed
The giant squid under him put the two of them on the land. Hermione approached Luke subconsciously, and Luke also pulled Hermione behind him.
"We are now inside the mountain on the north side of the castle. The distance from the school is not too far. A medium-distance apparition can reach the destination. And these trophies on the wall also verify my guess. Here It is very likely that it is Godric Gryffindor's private domain."
... On this point, he said it rather implicitly, and didn't point out where the legacy would be located.After all, there is no magic inheritance left by Gryffindor here.
However, in terms of value alone, the trophies on the wall are probably worth too much money.
Obviously, if all of them are sold, this matter is quite a huge sum of money.
Luke wasn't interested in these things, though.He doesn't care about these things full of historical commemorative significance, neither the historical details they contain, nor the money they can bring him.
None of this meant much to him.
If the magic of the past is strong enough and can make him strong, then he will pursue it.But other things are really meaningless.
However, these things are still very valuable to Hermione!
These are all symbols of legend.
After the big squid put the two men on the shore, it dived into the bottom of the water again and disappeared.
Luke frowned, but then relaxed.They come, the security.According to his calculations along the way, the distance from here to the castle is not too far.The length of the cave is not very long.He was sure to take Hermione back above the lake.
He believed that Dumbledore, now Dumbledore, must be closely watching the movement in the Black Lake, ready to support him at any time.
So if there are any accidents, don't worry too much.
"Let's go and look around."
Luke tugged at Hermione's sleeve, then walked towards the trophies on the wall.
Hermione followed Luke closely.Luke has some experience with such situations.But she is a standard noob.For such a thing, it is better to learn from Luke's experience.
Although... such an experience may not be the next time in this life.
Two people look from one side of this hemispherical cave.
The first exhibit is the head of a goblin.
Hermione frowned slightly, such things made her somewhat uncomfortable.After all, goblins are also humanoid creatures after all.
"Aurelio Luthor, he is a powerful goblin, but unfortunately he was killed by me when he sneaked up on me. Facing the powerful Gryffindor, this famous killer among goblins is still a chicken tile dog."
In the introduction of the exhibits below, such words are written.After Luke watched it, he felt more and more that Gryffindor was indeed a bit narcissistic.
"Luke...is this..."
Hermione looked at the head that was preserved by a special magic, which seemed to have no sign of decay at all, looked at its ferocious expression, and its fierce but lifeless eyes, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"The goblins at that time were not the same as they are now. Remember Hermione, goblins were indeed the enemies of wizards. Even more than 100 years ago, one named Lanlock was the number one criminal in the British wizarding world. Not to mention being active in the Big Four that era."
…. "It is not right to show mercy to an enemy who threatens your safety."
"As for cutting off the head as a souvenir... I don't have a deep study of history, maybe it was a feature of that time."
Luke told the truth, but it was somewhat springy.
To put it bluntly, beheading one's head as a souvenir is a relatively common act of boasting.It's not surprising that Luke is placed on any of the Big Four.
So he moved on to the next exhibit.
It was a broken wand.
"My childhood friend's wand. He died in my hand. I buried our friendship. Let this broken wand hold my pain. I think of him now and then, just now."
Although I don't know what happened between Gryffindor and this friend of his.But obviously, it's not a pleasant thing.
"Gryffindors aren't always so vibrant, it seems."
Luke said with a smile.And Hermione abducted Luke angrily.
Because these words were used by Professor Snape to mock them in a Potions class.After all, in that class, Harry and Ron were speechless when asked.And when Hermione stood up to answer the question, she was asked a few more questions that were obviously far beyond the outline.She was also speechless.
then……
"Oh, I thought you Gryffindor children were always so energetic?"
Originally, it was just a joke, but when it came out of Professor Snape's mouth with that expression on it, it was filled with malice towards Gryffindor College.
Strictly speaking, as long as Professor Snape treats their Gryffindor students, there are few without malice.
Luke chuckled, and the banter between the two also eased the seriousness and heaviness in the cave.
The two looked at the next exhibit again.
It was a red scarf embroidered with a lion pattern.
"This is a scarf given to me by a lovely girl, and it is the first gift from a girl I have ever received. But it is a pity that I, who accepted her gift, did not accept her kindness. After all... She is both Not strong, not interesting. The partner I am looking for must be as strong as me, be able to endure my offense, and be interesting enough. It is best to be able to do some things that I can't do, but I am yearning for. Things like talking to Fantastic Beasts."
This description later turned into a request for a spouse, which is not surprising to Gryffindor, who has a wild mind.
However, Luke always felt a sense of déjà vu in this description.
"Why do I feel that the person described later seems to be able to find a counterpart?"
Hermione was a little distressed, frowning, thinking about who this person was in her mind.
Luke caught the flash of light, and his face darkened.
Damn it... Is it really impossible to go both ways?
"Slytherin... that description reminds me of Slytherin."
Luke whispered to Hermione.
Then Hermione was embarrassed too.But in the UK...
It doesn't seem to be a big problem.
"Hahaha! Don't get me wrong! I like normal women! It's just that this request somehow meets that fellow Salazar!"
The sudden sound startled both of them.
Luke turned around immediately, and the wand in his hand was already flickering with light.
And Hermione leaned against Luke to help him pay attention to the possible danger behind him.
