Chapter 316: The Ghost of the Suzaku Wizard

Albus Dumbledore, Professor Minerva McGonagall, and Severus Snape often discuss things, which does not mean that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has only two houses, Gryffindor and Slytherin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info no less excellent wizards from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw than the other two houses. Speaking of Hufflepuff, which has the roughest admissions requirements, it is the largest house at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in terms of numbers.

The professors at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are obviously not all members of the Order of the Phoenix, but they are all willing to give everything for Hogwarts, even their lives, and anything about the future of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry needs to be decided by the four Headmasters and the Headmaster.

At this time, Hogwarts, as the host school of the tournament, was very lively, even though the twelve warriors left the school, but there were twice as many students as usual, and the castle still seemed a little crowded.

"Did you hear that? I heard that there was another terrorist attack in Diagon Alley yesterday, and a building was blown up by a dark wizard?"

"It turned out to be true, I saw this news from the "Owl Post" yesterday, and I thought it was fake, but I didn't expect that the "Daily Prophet" actually had no news at all. ”

"The Daily Prophet has been controlled, you don't know it yet. I've heard that the Death Eaters used the Imperius Curse to take control of the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, so that he couldn't speak ill of the Death Eaters at all times. ”

"How could it be, the Ministry of Magic would know about that in that case. Besides, the Aurors are now monitoring the Daily Prophet, and I've heard from my family that there's a powerful family behind the Daily Prophet. ”

The so-called Daily Prophet has always occupied the position of the best-selling newspaper in the wizarding world, which is inseparable from the deliberate support of the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic gave the green light to the Daily Prophet's reporters in many ways in exchange for critical moments, and these reporters were able to follow the instructions of the Ministry of Magic to report on the case.

The Daily Prophet has a column on the Auror case, as well as the latest book news, as well as Professor Guidero's favorite advertising page, where he is always in the forefront.

The cooperation between the newspaper and the authorities was very close, and the two were like interplanting crops together. But some newspapers such as "Singing Against the Tune" and "The Owl Post" quietly fought back, making the newspaper feel the crisis. This newspaper, once popular mainly among the so-called prophets, is now trying to maintain its hegemony in public opinion.

Professor Minerva McGonagall had been silent since she came out of the Vice-Chancellor's office, and she seemed to be terrified, as if she had just heard the terrible news that all the students had failed their exams. Flitwick and Professor Pope followed her, and the two exchanged words in silence, hoping to see some good news in each other's eyes.

Professor Severus Snape was at the back, his long-term Occlumency look a little glazed over, and he seemed indifferent to anything. His cloak was like the wings of an open bat, and his greasy hair was scattered.

At the corner, where the four deans had to separate, Professor Minerva McGonagall stopped abruptly and coughed softly to alert the other three deans. You must know that the four directors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are all extremely intelligent wizards, and they all have a place in their respective fields when it comes to magical research. They are no less of rank than Professor Minerva McGonagall.

Of course, the four professors have never been compared like this, they are used to the leadership of Albus Dumbledore, all four of them are good, but they are not geniuses like Albus Dumbledore.

The four Deans were taken aback by what the Rector had just said, and then Professor Minerva McGonagall suddenly stopped, and all three looked at Professor Minerva McGonagall.

"I think Principal Albus Dumbledore has a clear message that we want to manage our students from a new perspective. That's a good point, but don't forget, we're still in the middle of the tournament, and any instability could make Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry a laughing stock. Professor Minerva McGonagall swept her piercing gaze over the three of them, and both Professor Flitwick and Professor Pope nodded, except for Severus Snape, who remained expressionless, clasping his hands together and hanging naturally in front of his navel.

"Severus, don't you agree?" asked Professor Minerva McGonagall.

"Professor McGonagall, to be honest, President Albus Dumbledore's decision today is shocking, and I need some time to digest the information, so I can't promise you anything for the time being. Severus Snape said.

Professor Minerva McGonagall looked at Severus Snape for a moment, and seeing that he didn't mean to change in the slightest, he had to say, "Severus Snape, remember, Slytherin will always be part of Hogwarts, and even Salazar Slytherin cannot be divided. ”

Severus nodded slightly, brushed past the three of them, and disappeared alone around the corner of the hallway.

Watching Severus Snape leave, Professor Flitwick said, "Minerva, I think Albus Dundedo is right, and since he believes in us, we should try to live up to his trust." ”

"Filius, I don't mean to point to Albus Dumbledore's decision, but I think it's too hasty to make such a hasty arrangement, and I think we can be slower when we carry it out. ”

Professor Sprout, with flowing gray hair, said, "Don't worry, Minerva, we all know what to do. It's changing, but the glory of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is here to stay. ”

Professor McGonagall's expression did not improve because of Professor Sprout's confidence, and she still had a bad feeling that something big had happened.

Thousands of miles away, in the East China Sea of the Far East, it was already night, the wind and waves were calm, and the ethereal singing came from the returning fishing boats, which was the roar of a huge trumpet, indicating that today was another harvest day.

On the island, after a day's trekking, Abe and his party had reached the top of the volcano, and they did not find the place where the warriors camped, not because of negligence, but because of the different paths they took to go up the mountain. There is a Shikigami with Ishiba, and Abe's speed is not bad.

"Mikoma-sama, with my construction, let's rest for the night, and let's go down tomorrow. The entrance to that ruin is right at the base of the volcano. Abe suggested.

Mikoma's clothes were still clean, glowing a pale blue haze in the light of the stars. At this time, the shrine maiden really looked down. Her expression was extremely serious, and when Yukawa couldn't wait, she said, "No, Abe-kun, we must leave immediately." ”

"But it's too dark now, we can't see anything clearly at the bottom of this extinct volcano, isn't it very dangerous for us?" Shi Po couldn't help but ask.

"The situation has changed, and I feel as if something is happening, and we must either retreat now, or go down immediately, or tomorrow the situation will get worse. ”

Hearing the shrine maiden's words, both Abe and Ishiba were a little surprised. Fortunately, they all knew the strength of the Kuraki Reina shrine maiden, and they didn't think she was talking nonsense, so everyone had to move on.

Ishiba and Abe arranged that the five of them would stay in the middle of the team as core members, and then let Shikigami and those guards set off first.

Ishipo's Shikigami is very miraculous, and its attack power is still above that of ordinary Dementors. They went down cautiously and did not use any lighting to prevent a surprise attack. A group of men slowly sank into the darkness.

At this time, the twelve warriors, divided into two teams, were in crisis. Cedric Diggory's team entered the ruins first, and they went all the way down, choosing another path at the fork in the road, and finally reached an extremely large underground space.

The space is filled with huge rocky islands suspended in the air, as large as a skyscraper and as small as a three-story apartment. The suspended islands were constantly moving slowly, like jellyfish swimming in the void.

These rocky islands are built with different structures, and on the largest of them is a palace-like building.

And then these are all things that Cedric Diggory and the others noticed later, and the first thing they discovered was magma, and there was a river of magma flowing here!

Orange-red magma gushes out of the ground and flows slowly. A huge irregular lava lake was infused. And those shocking suspended rock tunnels are suspended above this magma.

The six of them looked at each other, and the shock in their hearts and the magnificent scenery in front of them made them unable to think for a while.

"This place, is this the place of ruins that the instructors say? This non-condensing magma river, the boiling lava lake, and these islands that automatically suspend in the air, are simply miraculous!" Cedric Diggory stood on the edge of the canyon, looking at the hanging rock islands and magma lakes not far away, and the shock in his heart could not fade away for a long time.

"This, this is definitely the remains of the founder of our Vermilion Bird Magic School!" Zhou Shang looked at the gorgeous buildings on the rocky island obsessively, they were all the ancient buildings of the Far East, the largest palace-like building, Zhou Shang had even seen it in the Vermilion Bird Magic School, but the school's one was even bigger and more majestic.

"Zhou Shang, could it be that this is a space created by wizards from the Far East? This is spectacular!" As if not hearing Cedric Diggory's words, Fleur looked at everything in front of her obsessively, "If only I could go to those hanging islands and have a look!"

Zhou Shang took his wand and walked to the edge of the canyon, the magma flowed through the bottom of the canyon, and finally poured into the magma lake not far away, Zhou Shang waved his wand, "Xuanniao descends!" A flame erupted from Zhou Shang's wand, and the strange bird gradually formed from the flames, and with a crisp chirp, it flew to the magma lake not far away.

"What's that, Zhou Shang, it looks like a phoenix. Fleur asked, the phoenix she was talking about, a phoenix like Fawkes.

"That's Suzaku, the patron saint of the Suzaku School of Magic!" Suzaku flew happily in the magma lake for a while, and finally flew towards the largest hanging island, where there was a huge statue of a Suzaku with wings ready to fly. This Vermilion Bird is red, not gold or stone, lifelike, tall Vermilion Bird is more than ten meters, under the Suzaku statue, is doing a person cross-legged.

The Vermilion Bird Phantom summoned by Zhou Shang let out a clear roar and merged into the Vermilion Bird statue, a dazzling light flashed, and it seemed that the entire underground space had woken up, and the Vermilion Bird Statue emitted a colorful light, and after the seven lights and seven extinguished, everything returned to normal.

Cedric Diggory was so far away that he could only see the dazzling light of the huge statue, and nothing else could be seen clearly. "Something happened, it seems that nothing has changed. Fleur asked, confused.

"No, it's changed, you look at the islands that are hovering, they're moving in a different direction, and one of them is flying towards us. Zhou Shang saw that it was the same as he had guessed, and all of this really had a lot in common with the Vermilion Bird Magic School's guardian formation.

A prototype stone disk that looked like a foot in diameter floated over and soon came to a halt above the canyon. This disc is carved with a simple bird, which is the legendary Xuanniao Suzaku. Zhou Shang was the first to walk up, "Come on, we have to take this to the island!"

Cedric Diggory was a little overwhelmed. Be cautious, they haven't figured out what's going on yet. But seeing Zhou Shang's excited appearance, everyone finally chose to believe Zhou Shang's judgment. After all six of them got on the disc, the stone disc actually ran on its own again, slowly flying towards the largest stone mountain in the middle.

After crossing the canyon, the stone pan rose higher and higher, and soon left the ground, and the magma lake was seen more clearly, a huge whirlpool with a diameter of more than 100 meters was entrenched in the middle of the magma lake, and from time to time there were blazing white flames erupting from the whirlpool. The hanging islands are all at a height of several hundred meters from the magma lake, and at this point the islands seem to be converging in the middle.

The stone pan flew for more than ten minutes before docking on the largest hanging island. Everyone had seen the huge Suzaku statue from afar, as well as the equally magnificent palace building behind the statue.

Zhou Shang was the first to get down from the stone plate and walked on the ground of the hanging island. Walking on a hanging island feels exactly the same as walking on land. Cedric Diggory was speechless in astonishment, and kept looking around, compared to these hanging islands, the stairs in Hogwarts Castle that can automatically transform are simply children's toys.

Zhou Shang was also sleepwalking, and with his feelings, he walked towards the Suzaku statue. When they got closer, they realized that there seemed to be something underneath the statue.

"The scroll won't be there, will it?" said Vera, who had been surprisingly silent all the way. Then the crowd remembered that they had come here to find a scroll.

"That's not a scroll, it seems to be a person...."Zhou Shang said with some excitement, the person who can stay here is likely to be that one!

Zhou Shang did not hesitate to run towards Suzaku, and Cedric Diggory took out his wand and followed closely behind Zhou Shang.

After Cedric arrived, he saw Zhou Shang in a daze. An old man with black hair, closed eyes, and pale cheeks sat cross-legged.
