Chapter 127 126: Patronus Curse? Guardian Knight Spell!
Getting along with the legendary witch is always fruitful, but this also requires Ian to maintain a cautious attitude. After all, the mind of a bad woman who has lived for thousands of years may change at any time.
Just like now.
The witch clearly satisfied Ian's desire to ride a big bone dragon, and Ian also quickly sent a series of beautiful words, but the witch still examined his alchemy very severely the next moment. learning progress.
Although Ian has successfully repaired the iron bumps at the gate, and also made some equipment upgrades for the iron bumps, even the Deathly Hallows of Death has successfully reproduced some of its functions. , but the legendary witch Ms. Morgan still seems to be dissatisfied with his alchemy learning progress.
"According to your current extremely slow learning speed, it will take at least three years to fully understand the knowledge I taught you."
Morgan is estimated to be the first to understand Iraq. En is a wizard who is not satisfied with his learning speed. It is not that she thinks Ian's talent is poor, but she uses this to criticize Ian for spending too much time sleeping.
"If I could have had a superior learning environment like yours, I would definitely only sleep once a month. There are many ways for wizards to escape the punishment of fatigue." Perhaps according to Morgan's words With this characteristic entrepreneurial ecstasy, Ian's learning method of only studying during the day is indeed not very hard.
However.
Ian is obsessed with growing to at least 1.88 meters tall, but he can only avoid the problem by self-examination. He does not want to cause shortcomings in height development due to lack of sleep.
It’s okay to stay up late occasionally.
If you stay up late every day... I'm afraid you have to drink magic potion if you want to grow taller. But that method of growing taller is too artificial, and there is no essential difference between going to the Great Cold Underworld for plastic surgery. .
"Teacher, the final answer to the alchemy homework you gave me should be a time turner, right?" Ian immediately changed the topic after self-examination.
This was the judgment he made when studying Morgan's alchemy assignment. However, as his alchemy level continued to improve, he also felt more and more that the alchemy process given by Morgan was more complicated.
Of course.
This is just Ian's judgment based on his little understanding of the Time Converter. Even if he specifically made inquiries, there are not many books related to the Time Converter in the library, and the books with substantive content are even rarer. It is comparable to those books that mention the Three Deathly Hallows.
Many questions cannot necessarily be answered from books. This is related to the fact that those who wrote the books may not know the answers, and also because many sensitive books will disappear quietly in the flow of history.
There is artificial hiding.
There is also the cover-up of historical dust.
Although there are many books in the Hogwarts library, the current restricted book area can only be a collection of incomplete editions of banned books. Naturally, there are no books among which the detailed principles of the time turner can be learned.
The most mentioned thing in the books that can be found is the method of use and the feeling.
The Time-Turner looks like a small, shiny gold timepiece with a long, fine gold chain. Each turn of the Time Turner moves you back one hour in time.
When using the Time Turner, the user will feel like they are flying backward very quickly, various blurry cloud shapes pass before their eyes, there is something pounding in their ears and they cannot hear their own voice.
"You should call it the hourglass of destiny." Witch Morgan corrected Ian's wording. Obviously, this is not only a difference in name, but also a difference in the power contained in it.
“Can you subvert destiny and change the past?”
Ian's eyes suddenly lit up.
The name [Hourglass of Destiny] certainly made him think a lot. You must know that among the rules for using time converters, there has always been a rule that you can only see history but cannot change history.
Nothing that has happened can be changed using the time converter, not even Dumbledore. Therefore, the role of the time converter can only be used to understand the truth of some things.
And... students use it to study.
In her third year at Hogwarts, Hermione got this magical instrument from Professor McGonagall, which allowed Hermione to go back a few hours to take more classes. .
In order to get a Time-Turner, the professor had to write various letters to the Ministry of Magic, telling them that the owner was a model student and would never use it for anything other than studying.
Of course, no matter what the regulations are, being able to give such a magical time prop to a student shows that the time converter must have high limitations.
“It only contains two parts of the power of fate and time, but if you want to use it to restore your lost love and family, you will only get disappointment in the end.”
Morgan took Ian into the castle and sat on her chair. While eating the snacks that Ian "popped", she answered Ian in a frivolous tone.
“That’s no different from a time converter, right?”
Ian was slightly disappointed.
But it’s not that I have lost interest in learning.
After all, being able to create a time converter is definitely a special achievement. This is knowledge that cannot be learned at Hogwarts or elsewhere.
Not even the famous alchemy master Nick Flamel could create this lost thing.
"There is no power of destiny on the Time Converter." Morgan corrected Ian's point of view again. She also knew very well that much of the knowledge in Ian's era had long ceased to circulate.
As for the reason.
Ian believes that the Department of Mysteries definitely contributed.
There may have been related manufacturing techniques in the Restricted Book Zone, but with the Department of Mysteries' monopoly on time converters, all information on time converters in various regions will definitely be destroyed or confiscated - according to According to the ghosts in the school, the Department of Mysteries once took away many books from the library.
There is a high probability that there will be books related to time turners, because it was from that time period that Hogwarts became eligible to apply to the Ministry of Magic for the right to use time turners.
This must be a compromise and deal between the school's senior officials and the Department of Mysteries. Because of this, Ian, who enrolled later, had not actually been exposed to a real time converter.
He could only speculate on the general principles of the time converter from a limited number of books, combined with the knowledge he possessed. It would be absolutely impossible to figure it out on his own.
"So, what role can the power of fate make your hourglass play?" Ian took the initiative to rub Morgan's shoulders, which made the black witch extremely satisfied with his flattery.
“There are very few wizards in history who can touch the level of destiny. This is something I have painstakingly studied. It can definitely be regarded as a masterpiece in the field of alchemy.”
The legendary witch first praised herself, and then whispered in a voice full of meaning. Open your mouth, "It can't change the ending, but it can allow those who are in the past to play the strings of fate."
This may be a common problem among old women and old men. Whenever they talk about some key points, When talking about something, they always like to use a riddle-like tone and language that needs others to understand.
"Changing fate?"
Ian thought thoughtfully.
The Witch's behavior as the Riddler today is not difficult to understand.
"Whenever you hand over an answer sheet that satisfies me, you will appreciate the extraordinary magic in it." Morgan looked back at the little wizard behind him with a smile.
"As long as the ending remains unchanged, the process can be changed?" Ian expressed his understanding. If this is the case, the so-called [Hourglass of Destiny] is indeed an incredible creation.
"What do you think?"
The witch raised her eyebrows.
"If you ask me...Teacher, you are really amazing! You are simply the most powerful wizard in the world!" Ian immediately sent a rainbow fart with no nutrition.
Witch Morgan still does this.
“One thing you need to pay strict attention to when using such props is that when you influence your destiny, destiny will also affect you. Don’t try to influence a destiny that is greater than your own.”
"That won't have any good consequences." She reminded her again after accepting Ian's rainbow fart. After all, this is what Ian said you need to be careful about when getting along with the evil witch.
If Ian had not sent his flattery in time, God knows after Witch Morgan concealed this, it would have become a hidden danger for him to suffer a big loss in the future. Just like the queen's senior sister who was plotted by the evil witch, the evil witch really likes to quietly plant mines when she plots against her apprentice.
Of course.
If she has real skills, the evil witch can really teach.
It can only be said that there are many similarities between this and accompanying the king like a tiger.
"Teacher, is there really no way for us wizards to reverse the deaths that have already occurred?" Ian felt that this limitation was not in line with his core concept of wizards being gods.
"Do you want to change the death of your parents, or that poor girl in the town?" Morgan may not have read minds, but she also saw Ian's intention in asking.
“Perhaps both.”
It is indeed a pity for Ian that he has never met his parents in this life, but he is more pity for a good person like Ariana. No friend can truly live a fulfilling life.
Of course, if you think about it carefully, time does not allow changing the rules of the past and it is indeed necessary to exist. After all, if this kind of thing changes, the future will definitely be greatly affected or completely affected by it. subversion. At least Dumbledore will no longer be the Dumbledore he is now.
And this.
It will already change a lot of history.
"I'm sorry to tell you that changing fate does not mean subverting fate. Even if you pay the price to change the process, they will still die at the moment they deserve to die." Morgan's voice was not clear. She knew why she felt a little melancholy. Perhaps the reason why she studied the hourglass of fate was to try to change some regrets.
"This is fate. It is above all living beings, even gods." She finally concluded her thoughts, and Ian couldn't help but sigh with regret.
“Then if I want to go back to the childhood of a powerful being and strangle him to death before he becomes stronger, then I can’t make the guy I strangled to death come back to life, right? .”
He still asked about the topic of fate without giving up, and even made a gesture of strangling someone in front of Morgan. The range of his movements looked like he was strangling some small animal.
“…”
Morgan was obviously a bit unexpected about Ian’s imagination.
However.
She was silent for a moment.
Finally, the answer was given in a faint voice.
"Then, you will never be able to go back to your own time, and will be used by fate to replace the person you killed, and then you will be trapped in a life that does not belong to you under the influence of fate."
I don’t know how the witch Morgan knew this answer.
Her tone didn't sound like she was guessing.
Maybe you have been curious about this before. I can only say that maybe the black witch and Ian became a master and apprentice, and there is a certain relationship between the similarities between them.
"Hiss~"
The witch's answer made Ian feel a chill down his spine.
"Okay."
He completely dispelled some of the bold curiosity in his heart. Sure enough, it is not unreasonable that the more powerful the wizard is, the more he fears fate. He does not want to become the new noseless one and then gnaw on the big melon.
In fact, according to Nose's current situation, there is no need to go back to the past and kill Nose. Ian can ask this question purely because he is curious about the mysterious feeling of fate.
"Has something like this ever happened in history?" Ian's curiosity arose again. There was no way he could make the evil witch's tone sound so imaginative.
Faced with Ian's continuous questions, Morgan was not annoyed.
"If not, will I tell you the answer? All my knowledge comes from summary in practice." Unexpectedly, Morgan still adheres to the school of scientific witchcraft.
“Is there any historical figure I am familiar with!”
As soon as Ian’s question came up, he was slapped on the head by the witch.
"Sometimes being too curious is not a good thing. Some things will suffer the backlash of fate just by "knowing" them. All I can tell you is that it did happen."
"Between you and me, An era that was never born.”
Morgan’s tone of voice was meaningful and somewhat sad, which did not completely extinguish Ian’s curiosity, but her dunk also let him know that he should not continue. The inquiry continued.
"This is the history of magic that I want to learn, and it is another day to be grateful to you, teacher." Ian felt the witch's impatience, and immediately began to beat the witch's back enthusiastically.
The witch is here after all.
More secrets will be revealed one day.
The premise is that he will not provoke the witch and follow in the footsteps of the queen's senior sister.
......
The limited-time experience card of the trance fantasyland lasted for half of the time. Ian also wanted to go to the small town to meet his friends. The legendary witch did not have any information about this. What a dissatisfying opinion.
"Tell that friend of yours that you took this dragon away, so he still owes me..." She even asked Ian to act as a messenger to bring her a message to Pandro.
As for the past grudges between the two people, Ian only had some guesses and judgments in his mind. He definitely couldn't ask questions. After all, the dragon that nearly strangled half of his head before was a lesson learned from the past.
The soul can be put back together after half of his head was strangled. If a living person like him had most of his head cut off, he would definitely die and be left by his teacher forever.
"Of course, don't worry, teacher, I will even kick his butt for you." For the sake of the witch's happy mood, Ian also sacrificed the health of his friend's butt.
“Kick it hard enough!”
The smile on Witch Morgan’s face was very bright, and she was obviously extremely satisfied with Ian’s guarantee. She raised her hand and the next moment Ian’s shoes Many thorns sprouted from it. As for what the green luster on the thorns is, Ian, who has rich knowledge of potions, can't identify it but doesn't dare to ask.
If the answer he got was particularly scary, how could he kick his best friend? As the saying goes, not understanding means not knowing, and not knowing means peace of mind.
“The soul will never die again.”
Ian built himself up mentally.
As soon as he walked out of the castle.
"Will you bring me back to the human world?"
The giant dragon lying outside immediately came up and asked curiously.
For Morgan to hand it over to Ian and guide Ian to carve some marks on it, it had no choice but was not dissatisfied or resisted.
"The world has changed a lot. Not only can you go back to Hogwarts to take a look, but you can also help me deal with the enemies. Of course, most of the time you just need to help me support the scene." Ian also hopes to have a good relationship with this last ancient dragon. After all, although he can, he doesn't like forced servitude.
"Of course, of course I can help you support the situation, and I can also help you bite your enemies to death." The huge ancient dragon was also quite wise, and immediately made a promise to Ian.
Its character is seriously inconsistent with its majestic and huge body, and it even feels like a mouthful. The dragon's face, which has even more facial details than Snape, has a nostalgic expression on it.
"My skeleton must also be very cool. If possible, I can actually help you teach other little wizards. After all, I have always wanted to be the first dragon professor at Hogwarts when I was alive." It expressed It turns out that he is a cologne with a dream, not as lazy as Witch Morgan said.
“You know, I have always been responsible for the regular cleaning of the Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest. Gryffindor said that I am the administrator, and Slytherin also said that I have the character to be a dragon professor. .”
“But I will I realized that he was painting a pie for me, and he didn’t let me become the dragon professor until I died. God knows how a human could survive a dragon.”
The words of the broken-mouthed dragon were immediately heard. That caught Ian's attention.
"Did Slytherin live long?"
He immediately asked out of curiosity. This was obviously a later story of the four giants that had not been mentioned in "Hogwarts: A School History" or "Hogwarts: The Lost Secrets".
"Yes, he must have found some kind of magic potion that can lead to immortality. After all, I am pretty good at potions, and I know that there was that kind of potion a long time ago."
Gu Long didn't know why Ian's eyes lit up. It was probably because he had never seen the dementors encounter, so he sounded quite proud when he showed off his potion results.
"Is it the elixir made from golden apples?" While Ian was surprised by the practical value of this dragon, he was also a little surprised by what the ancient dragon said about Salazar Slytherin.
Could it be that Voldemort's act of making and using Horcruxes was an act of atavism? You know, Teacher Morgan said before that she had cut down all the golden apple trees in their time.
"It's just that he lived a long time. At that time, he had lost all his teeth and it seemed difficult to walk. I felt that if I worked hard, I would be able to survive him first."
"At most, he is no more than I will live ten more days and eight days." The ancient dragon's tone was full of determination, as if it had seen Salazar Slytherin for the last time when he was about to die.
"You weren't hatched at Hogwarts, were you?" Ian had actually been curious about this for a long time. It stands to reason that the lifespan of ancient pure-blood dragons should be extremely long. After all, nowadays Those little chickens and giant dragons in the wizarding world have long lifespans that are comparable to, or even surpass, wizards.
"Of course, otherwise Slytherin will definitely not be able to survive me..." Gu Long may not have communicated with people for a long time, and it is not shy at all about mentioning the past of being caught.
“I have lived for a long time before I entered Hogwarts. Unlike those of the same kind who like to cause trouble, I already loved learning very much before I went to school.”
"Other dragons will rob human princesses and plunder treasures, but I only love learning to read. This may be one of the reasons why I can become the last pure-blood dragon."
"I still love reading books." I remember it was a sunny afternoon, and I was reading a book as usual. I borrowed these books, and my saliva can pay for them.”
“As a law-abiding dragon, I never expected that I would encounter challenges. My adventurers - the four founders of Hogwarts at that time were like those mentioned in the books Those adventurers, and I seemed to want them to choose the adventure. This scared me, who was familiar with "The Cause of Death of the Dragon". "
The face of the dragon crawling on the ground was revealed. With a frightened expression, "I thought I would definitely become the cause of the new dragon's death. Fortunately, Hutch Miss Patch is a very reasonable human wizard."
"She learned about my past and chose to accept me. Miss Ravenclaw also felt that I was very suitable to be a guardian beast, so I became a guardian beast. Became the first student at Hogwarts ”
"As a thank you, I took them to challenge another dragon and helped them complete the adventure they wanted to go on. That was a hateful dragon that often wanted to bully me and also lived in Anglia... "The ancient dragon's words with some emotion made Ian's eyes widen.
He felt the "Imperial Army, this way" flavor in the dragon's behavior.
"They killed another dragon?"
Ian knew that he was learning about "Hogwarts: Unrecorded Secrets", nor did he know that after he wrote the book Can you become a best-selling author and earn a lot of money?
"Anyway, since then, I have become the last giant dragon in the world." It was really difficult for the ancient dragon to move its eyes to the side without being noticed by Ian.
After all, its eyes are much bigger than Ian's.
"You are really...smart."
Ian sighed sincerely.
The truth content of dead Taoist friends is still rising. The ancient dragon obviously also realized the meaning of Ian's words. It immediately defended itself after knowing that it could not be concealed.
“It’s not my fault. It is a real evil dragon. Not only has it done many bad things, but it also wants to force me to reproduce with it. This is definitely what it deserves.”
The ancient dragon raised the volume of his nasal speech, and was a little excited. It was obviously not without reason that he could still be so emotional after being dead for so many years.
“He and I are both male dragons!”
What a wailing that makes people empathize in an instant. It can only be said that the land of Angria really has its own explanations, and some things have existed since ancient times regardless of species.
"Has it ever succeeded?"
Ian's focus has always been sharp and special. His inquiry immediately made the ancient dragon's eyes widen, and its heavy breathing blew Ian away.
"Of course not!"
Maybe the dragon's denial is indeed the truth, but this does not affect Ian's imagination. After all, only the dragon himself knows what the truth is.
"In short, that evil dragon deserves it, so I stayed in Hogwarts..." After emphasizing the rationality of his revenge, the ancient dragon did what he did to his life. He concluded with emotion, "I am the last dragon. After my death, my four professors have also become the last legends."
Such a conclusion with a firm tone made Ian raise his eyebrows.
"How do you know that there will be no more legends born in the future?" He seemed to have guessed something, but he still needed to verify it with insiders.
"Legend is not just an honorific, but also a realm that humans cannot reach. It is more difficult to achieve than greatness, but killing the dragon is the only way to become a legend."
"Bathing With our blood and our innate magic text, humans can break through their limits, and the path to legend will be revealed." The ancient dragon's answer verified Ian's guess, and at the same time, it also explained from the side why human wizards always do so. Is willing to team up with others to challenge the dragon.
“This is really... rare knowledge.”
Ian digested the information obtained from the dragon. The ability of the pure-blooded dragon to help humans break through their limits, Obviously, it is similar to how the hide of an invisible beast can be used to make an invisibility cloak.
As the saying goes, it is a crime to possess a jade.
Their extinction is apparently related to this situation. It is true that the power of ancient dragons is beyond the comparison of ordinary wizards, but for creatures like humans, as long as the reward is large enough, no matter how steep the mountain is, they will eventually be able to climb it.
No.
The ancient dragon became extinct.
Nowadays, those hybrid dragons may be the final proof of the existence of ancient dragons. Realizing this, Ian can't help but feel some inexplicable sadness in his heart.
"It has to be the terrifying Ape erectus."
While sighing.
Ian also realized a problem.
“The traditional dragon of England was killed by the four giants, and you died of old age. Rounding things off, wouldn’t it be that the four respectable founders cut off my path to becoming a legend in the future?”
< br>Just like what was said before.
The little wizard's focus is sometimes so tricky.
……
Learned the secret.
A few words from Cricket founder.
Ian said goodbye to his future number one mount for a while. He walked along the winding and rugged road covered with gravel and moss, from the gloomy castle to the fairy tale-like forest.
Compared to the witch's residence, which is always dark, the boundary between the castle and the town is particularly clear, as if some strange force separates the gloomy world from the small town with clear skies.
Soon.
Ian came to the border.
At this junction, the gloom of the castle and the brightness of the forest seem to be completely separated by an invisible line. On one side is the heaviness and depth of history, and on the other side is the lightness and dreaminess of nature.
Ian took a step forward.
He came to the environment that belonged to Ariana. He was still holding the hot dress fragments that Teacher Morgan had torn off not long ago in his hand, and he was studying at the same time without wasting time on the road.
The advanced magic of [Seize the Soul] is called [Seize the Soul and Remove the Soul]. This kind of magic that really involves the soul is extremely profound. It is no wonder that the Queen’s senior sister has difficulty in penetrating into new areas in her life. .
“I bet there’s something else in there.”
It’s not for nothing that Ian couldn’t help but take it out and study it while he was on his way.
Witch Morgan gave her apprentice a new assignment. Even before he started studying, Ian could tell that this assignment should not only contain the magic of reviving the bone dragon with the help of the soul of the ancient dragon. .
"Is it the ultimate secret of biological alchemy to create real life?" Ian was thinking about it all the way. He knew that if he really just learned the magic of reviving the bone dragon without comprehending more knowledge and With deeper magic, maybe he won't be able to get new fragments of Morgan's dress next time.
This is a teaching.
It is also a test.
Every time.
"Could it be that as long as the corpse is still warm, I can use it to resurrect the dead?" Ian followed the path in the forest, approaching the familiar town. The trees here are towering into the clouds, and colorful sunlight shines through the branches and leaves, shining on the soft moss ground, forming golden spots.
The air is filled with freshness and the fragrance of flowers, and the chirping of birds in the forest is also melodious, which is in sharp contrast to the silence of the previous castle.
“You are not in the town?”
When Ian looked up at the road, he found Pandro picking fruits, while Ariana was counting fruits under the tree, and the sun was shining on both sides. Personally, he looks like a medieval forest collection map.
Somewhat dreamy beauty.
"Pandro wants to brew some wine. He said that he will be of great use in the coming year, but he won't tell me what it will be used for." The girl looked up at Ian, with a hint of helplessness in her tone. Feel.
"He just likes to talk like this, old guys are like this." Ian has quick eyesight and quick hands. Just when Pandro was about to shuttle down from the tree, he immediately rushed under the tree.
Perhaps because he couldn't bear it, or perhaps because it was too late, Ian just stretched out one of his feet covered with green thorns and placed it on the path that Pandro must pass when he slides down from the tree.
"Don't talk about martial arts! Let's do a sneak attack!"
Pandro sat on Ian's shoes, and those green thorns just hit his butt, making him startled. As he exhaled, his face immediately turned red.
It’s the redness that comes out of pain.
Of course, this blushing color did not last long, because green began to rise from his buttocks, spreading to his whole body like ink dripping into clear water.
The Celtics who were supposed to have fair skin suddenly turned into pure greens. The green color reminded Ian of the orcs contaminated by evil energy in a certain game in his previous life. .
"Are you okay? Holy shit! The teacher is so cruel!" This turn of events was somewhat beyond Ian's expectation. He quickly supported Pandro, who was covering his butt, and asked.
“I can’t die, that’s for sure, but I was stabbed in the back by you, which will definitely require some precious wine in the world to make up for the great harm I suffered.”
Being able to speak calmly, clearly, and with a firm tone, Pandro probably didn't have much of a problem, so Ian immediately let go of this guy who was taking the opportunity to threaten him.
"This shouldn't be washable, right?" Ariana walked forward with a large basket of fruits, and even curiously grabbed Pandro's arm and rubbed it vigorously a few times.
The color has not faded.
"There is a situation where it is difficult to disobey a teacher's orders." Ian sighed and distanced himself from the relationship. His such doggy behavior made Pandro angrily reprimand him.
“Now it takes two bottles of wine to solve the problem!”
The price is high for this kind of sitting.
Ian did not choose to refuse.
"Okay, after all, it was me who was in the wrong." After all, he still had some conscience, so he decided to bring some pearl-level wine to the friends in front of him next time he entered the trance dreamland.
Two bottles are too stingy.
Ian decided to generously give six bottles directly. After all, many wines come in six bottles per box, and the twenty pounds does not include free shipping - how can a pearl in the food industry not be called a pearl?
"Very good, very good, very good." Pandro rarely felt Ian's generosity. He nodded with satisfaction and threw the fruit he had been holding into Ariana's fruit basket. .
"Do you want to go back to the town with us?"
He looked at the little wizard beside him, as if to feel how long the little wizard could stay - because he had been chatting with the dragon for a long time, Ian was far away There isn't much time left to return to this world.
"Of course, the teacher said you went to catch a giant dragon. I saw it. That dragon was really big." Ian followed the two people towards the town.
"I was just providing assistance. The main thing was that Pandro was so powerful. He jumped on the dragon's head and inserted his sword into the dragon's head. The dragon immediately fell to the ground motionless."
Ariana smiled modestly, and told Ian about her experience with Pandro in an excited tone. It could be seen that this adventure was quite novel and interesting for the girl.
"You are also very powerful. Cut off its four legs, otherwise it would not be easy for me to climb up."
Pandro also immediately started a business exchange, and the smile on the green face seemed to be gone. The sunshine in the past had a permeating feeling like Gargamel.
"What a pity, I wish I could go with you." Ian has always longed for a medieval romantic adventure. After all, it is a magnificent scene that can only be known from stories and biographies.
"You're about to have a chance!"
Pandro looked at Ian and said with a firm tone, "When the time comes, I will lead you to kill, and you stay behind. Use cover and I'll take you to slay the dragon."
The dragon he was talking about was definitely not the hybrid that Ian was familiar with, but an ancient dragon like the dragon at the castle. It can only be said that maybe the dragons have now finished suffering in the world and have become extinct in the world. But in the trance of fantasy, they still can't escape some unbearable hardships.
"Why are the dragons staying in the trance? Are they different from other magical animals..." Just when Ian was about to ask Pandro some questions that he had just remembered.
Suddenly.
“It’s Santa Claus!”
Ariana let out a cheer of surprise. I saw a delicate sound in the sky, which was a "ding-dong-dang" sound like a copper bell shaking.
The sound is getting closer.
Ian followed Ariana's gaze and looked up. A sleigh pulled by two flying elk was approaching. The white elk had no wings but could fly in the sky.
Their antlers also shine like gold, which is quite dazzling under the sunlight, like burning golden flames, and the dreamlike scene is even more fantasy-like.
"I see it every year, but they don't give us gifts..." Ian didn't feel too surprised. After all, he could see this scene as long as it was Christmas and he entered the trance.
The figure driving the elk is slightly taller than the goblins, with a thick beard that can hang down to his ankles. He is always just driving his elk sleigh through the entire trance.
"I have already said that he is just a wizard with Alzheimer's disease. I think this dementia has penetrated deep into his soul and made him forget that he should distribute gifts to us."
Pandro moved very quickly , he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the sky, "If we want a gift from Santa Claus, we have to do it ourselves!"
In words.
The boy's stone accurately hit Santa's sleigh, knocking out a gift box that looked exquisitely wrapped from above. This hit was more accurate and longer than an automatic rifle, which made Ariana exclaim.
"You must have been a kid king when you were a child." Ian quickly ran towards the gift box left by Santa Claus, and the old man above him flew away as if he didn't notice.
"Damn it! I smashed that down!" Pandro ran a step too late, but Ian picked up the gift box first. He angrily smashed the tree next to him without asking for it.
After all.
This is a tacit rule among the boys.
Whoever gets it belongs to whoever gets it.
“Can’t open it!” Ian found that he couldn’t untie the tie on the gift box, and he was a little angry. Pandro, who was angry before, immediately started to gloat.
"Hahaha! Please! Please ask me and I will tell you why!"
His laughter stopped abruptly soon.
Because Ian stuffed the gift box into his wallet, he would rather take it back to study and ponder it by himself, but it didn't go as he wished. This made the young man's already happy mood suddenly become much more depressed.
“This is your Christmas gift.”
Ian took out another set of armor from his purse, which he plagiarized and stitched into several special feature films and animation productions The work has no other functions except the automatic wearing function.
but.
His cool appearance alone has attracted Pandro's attention. His slutty personality likes things like this, and his face suddenly showed a bright smile.
"Will I have a Christmas present?"
Ariana came forward with anticipation.
“Of course!”
Ian took out a decorated gift box.
“Why can her gift be wrapped?”
Pandro, who was tinkering with the armor, complained in dissatisfaction.
"Do you know how expensive cartons are now? If you want to put your armor in a carton, I will go bankrupt!" Ian is indeed not talking nonsense.
Like apples on Christmas Eve.
Hogsmeade profiteers will also seize the chance to make a fortune at Christmas.
“I can give this gift box to you.”
Ariana happily opened the beautifully wrapped gift box.
There is a small train inside, which is also Ian's alchemy work. He named it the Story Train. You only need to give the keywords and various stories will be woven and performed in the train's carriages.
Stories never repeat.
But you can also leave your favorite stories.
It can be considered as something inspired by Grindelwald's storybook.
“What a great idea!”
Ariana quickly became familiar with the use of the train.
Seeing the girl couldn't put it down while holding the train, Ian immediately took out the [Patronus Ring], approached Ariana and asked.
"Want to go back to the mortal world and take a look? I found a special technique for exploiting loopholes!" Ian proudly showed off his [Guardian Ring].
However.
The girl just showed a blank expression.
"I almost forgot, when I was studying this thing, you were still out catching dragons." Ian began to explain to the two friends about the Resurrection Stone and the inspiration he got from the Resurrection Stone.
Of course.
Lady Ravenclaw's contribution was not omitted by him. Ariana listened with great interest, while Pandro had an expression of surprise.
"Oh my god! You are so awesome! You can actually get the Resurrection Stone!"
His wide eyes were a bit exaggerated.
“…”
Ian pushed the guy away, and then looked at Ariana again.
"So, you want me to be...a Christmas gift for my brothers?" Ariana has been playing with Ian since he was a kid, so her perspective on the problem is naturally more cunning than Ian's.
“??????”
Ian always felt that Ariana’s words were a bit strange, but he couldn’t fault it. Seeing the girl raise her hand, he immediately put the ring on Put it on the girl's finger.
"Is this really useful?"
Ariana's little face felt a little flushed.
"You'll know after you try it!"
Ian took out the wand that Morgan had transformed before, but had not yet transformed back to its original form. He directly activated the Guardian of the God, and silver threads immediately emerged from the ring. Came out and entangled Ariana.
At the same time.
A large amount of silver light also spurted out from Ian's wand - they finally gathered together, and Ariana, who was completely wrapped in silk threads, immediately exclaimed.
“This is really... strange.”
She was clearly still standing on the land of a trance, but her head appeared above Ian's wand. The girl's whole body seemed to have a silvery texture, and her face was full of surprise.
Soon.
Ariana's "Guardian Spirit Body" has been condensed. For a moment, two Arianas seemed to appear on the entire grassland, which was very dreamlike.
On one side stood different soul bodies, and on the other side stood a bright silver "spirit body". Ariana found that in this state, she actually had a sword at her waist.
She did not pull it out, but just tried to touch the surrounding trees.
"Your magic will definitely make you famous forever!" Pandro, who was standing nearby and witnessed everything, no longer had an exaggerated expression, but spoke with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
"I want more than this..." Ian really wanted to ask where Pandro was buried. He felt that maybe he could extract the dragon's natural magic from the bones of his good friend. arts.
The road to legend.
Who can refuse!
"What's that look in your eyes! No matter what you are thinking! Stop right now!" Pandro felt his heart falter and immediately rushed forward, held down Ian's head and shook it hard.
It was as if he wanted to shake all the bad thoughts out of Ian's head.
"Hey, let's talk about it later, I feel like the time has come to return." Ian's use of magic in the trance-like world will slightly speed up his return to the world.
See.
The words fell.
His body immediately began to become transparent.
The boundary between life and death is crossed again.
From trance to clarity.
When Ian opened his eyes, he immediately sat up and wanted to find Dumbledore and give Dumbledore a surprise. However, he discovered that he was not traumatized in the dormitory.
“Is this the Room of Requirement?”
Ian was a little confused.
He opened the door to the Room of Requirement and walked out.
Outside the house.
There was silence.
The corridor on the eighth floor at night was empty.
"Child, have you cleaned your toilet? Snape was just saying it in a joke. If you fail to complete the task he assigned, he will definitely torture you with even more disgusting punishments." The silly Barnabas on the wall spoke abruptly, his tone full of comfort, as if he was worried for the little wizard.
"What are you talking about? What else do I need to clean the toilet for?"
Ian was stunned for a moment.
His thinking was somewhat unable to react.
"Don't tell me, you have forgotten... it was the punishment Snape gave you before." Silly Barnabas looked at Ian with a somewhat strange look, and his expression was probably feeling Ian was pretending to be dumbfounded, after all, who would forget what happened not long ago.
“Didn’t that happen many days ago?” Ian thought Silly Barnabas might have really been beaten stupid by the troll. However, when he looked at the clock hanging in the corridor, his expression suddenly changed. Stunned.
Biting chill.
Rising from the back.
He suddenly raised his hand.
The mark of Ouroboros is shining quietly.
