Chapter 290: The Death of the Suzaku
What is the noblest quality? Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn the original parallel universe, if Harry Potter hadn't decided to stop at the last moment in the labyrinth to rescue Cedric Diggory, would this young Hufflepuff become another wizarding star like Newt Scarman? If Harry Potter had the same magic as Dumbledore, he could certainly protect Cedric Diggory from escape, and if Cedric Diggory had been more vigilant, like many of his Auror seniors, and made a portkey into a ring to wear on his body at all times, would his fate have changed?
What kind of failure is the most stupid? That is, until you fail completely, you don't know who your enemy is. Voldemort had already shown extreme weakness when he decided to kill a child. Is his enemy really a toddler? Or is it like the Ancient Titans who can change the fate of defeat by eating their own children? After Voldemort's resurrection, he still insists that his greatest enemies are Harry Potter and not the goddesses Zoya, who control their destiny, is his defeat not doomed? How can such a stupid dark wizard be qualified to rule the entire wizarding world?
A truly powerful wizard will surely find his way out of the gloomy and desperate situation by virtue of his kindness, and those wizards who deny history, desperately cover up their mistakes, and fear any change have proved their weakness, and they will eventually be doomed.
At 25°44.6' north latitude and 123°28.4' east longitude, a huge Muggle steel warship slowly sailed over the sea in the East China Sea in the Far East. Xia Nai and Charlie hid behind the palm trees, watching the warship get farther and farther away.
This islet and the surrounding islets belong to the territory of the Far East. The location of the Aurors is a small island that is nearly round. This islet is home to an extinct volcano with a high center and a low perimeter, with steep cliffs on the east side and spectacular rock outcrops with upright joints. The crowd also found more petroglyphs on those rocks. These petroglyphs look more complex, and some of them also exude faint magical fluctuations.
There is a depression in the middle of the island that looks like an extinct volcanic crater, and the island is full of palm trees and bushes, and the Aurors have been in this place for several days. During this time, they did not notice anything out of the ordinary. The coast is littered with large chunks of volcanic rock. Many of these volcanic rocks have been corroded by the sea, but many of them have not changed, and the Aurors deduce that it must be because of the protection of the magic patterns on them that these rocks have not disappeared.
In the past few days, the sea has calmed down, although the black clouds in the sky are still there, but they have been divided into small pieces, and the sun shines down through the gaps between the clouds and clouds, and the sky looks very magical, and it seems that it will not rain again in the next few days.
The Aurors had already checked all the places on the island that could be checked, except for the so-called center of the Demon Pattern Formation, which they had not yet entered, and the rest of the places were safe. After avoiding the Muggle warships today, a dozen or so Aurors gathered together. Discuss what to do next.
The water in the East China Sea is very clear, the visibility is more than 40 meters when the light is good, the sunlight is diffused underwater, those corals, seaweeds and sea fish, dreamy, most of these Aurors are wizards from the British mainland, even if they are used to seeing the Atlantic scenery, they can't help but admire when they see such a dreamlike scenery.
"I didn't expect the East China Sea in the Far East to be so beautiful, and the English Channel can't be compared. A middle-aged Auror said.
"There's no comparison between the two. This place is said to be a fishing ground in the Far East, and it is normal for the environment to be a little better. But our mission is not to travel. Have you found anything in the past few days?" asked the Auror, who led the group.
"This island is so big, shouting from that side, you can hear it from here, we all checked it carefully, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. Charlie said.
"The island is small, but it's not as exaggerated as you say. You stand on the other side of the crater, and you can't even see it here. The length and width of the island are more than a kilometer. Coupled with the demonic pattern formations carved from these rocks, the workload of more than a dozen of us is still very large. The captain said.
"You know, we're serious too. I wonder why they didn't find these petroglyphs because this is one of the more prominent islands in the Muggle fishing grounds?"
"You don't understand that. This island must have been cast with a Muggle expulsion spell, and once the Muggles got close, something very important would suddenly sound, so they hadn't come up all the time, how could they find out. Xia Nai said.
"Shanai, what kind of Muggle expulsion spell do you think can last so long, these petroglyphs are more than a thousand years, is there any spell that can last for a thousand years?" Charlie retorted.
"Well, that's not something we need to care about. I've been notified by the Ministry of Magic. The first event of the tournament has ended, and the second event is about to begin. The Warriors will go to HK first and then take a yacht here. Prepare the second project. It was roughly expected to arrive in three days, so we didn't have much time. It's time to start checking the core magic pattern. The captain said.
Everyone nodded, and the Aurors began to get busy, ignoring the bickering of Xia Nai and Charlie and starting to run around. Charlie and Xia Nai quarreled for a while, and they also felt that it was not interesting, the two of them were bickering for the past few days, and now they have lost their freshness.
The two of them each checked their wands and followed the captain up the extinct volcano. After the clouds dispersed, the sun rose quickly, but fortunately, the palm trees were growing luxuriantly and not too sunny. The sea breeze blows from the southeast, which is very comfortable. Halfway up the extinct volcano to the sea, you can see a beautiful white sand beach. Xia Nai and Charlie have been to that beach, and the sand is relatively thick, and it may not be comfortable to step on, otherwise lying on such a beach, blowing the sea breeze at night, and counting the stars, is really the most desirable life.
This island is said to have been discovered a long time ago. In ancient times, some powerful overseas powers still used this place as a palace. Later, the form of the Far East changed, and the competition on the mainland became more intense, and some failed powers had to flee overseas. During this time, this small island has attracted little attention, and its main island is a lot of great power.
This continued until the establishment of the Suzaku School of Magic. The great power that founded the Suzaku School of Magic and Wizardry eventually disappeared overseas, leaving only a magical inheritance unique to the Far East.
The mystery of his whereabouts has always been the biggest knot in the heart of the Suzaku School of Magic. The turning point in solving this mystery is strange to say, it turns out that a Muggle wizard from the Far East returns to his hometown to visit his family, and very occasionally, learns that the family genealogy once recorded an interesting history.
This period of history is very common in the Far East, and it is a common folk legend of encountering immortals. It turned out that the ancestor of this Muggle was a fisherman, and once he went out to sea to fish, he encountered a great storm, the waves were monstrous, and the ship was almost destroyed, and when everyone was desperate, they suddenly found a great fiery red light not far away, which was extremely conspicuous in the storm, and there was no swaying at all, like a giant eye of a god, looking at the sea.
Seeing this, the fishermen rowed to the light with all their might, and finally reached the place where the giant eye was before the boat sank. It's a small island, and it's hard to see the size of the island during the storm, but they can see the white sand beach through the lightning. The crowd did not care much, so they hurriedly abandoned the fishing boat and went to the island. The huge fiery red light was visible even more clearly: an eerie red ball was floating in the center of the island. The ball was irregular, like a jewel, and seemed to be unaffected by the storm. Everyone is still far away, but they can see clearly from such a distance, I am afraid that the diameter of the ball is tens of meters in size.
After escaping the storm, several fishermen couldn't help but be curious and walked towards the center of the island together. The palm trees were lush all the way, but they were dyed red by the huge red balls. Halfway through, they noticed glowing patterns on the rocks around them. These lines are carved into the stone slabs, which at this time emit a faint red glow. Rain can't fall on these textured stones.
A few fishermen curiously followed the lines and continued to walk inside, and when they looked up, the huge red ball was connected to many ethereal lines of pale red smoke, like a strange balloon floating in the air.
Several fishermen looked at each other, strengthened their courage, and decided to continue inside. At this time, a middle-aged man with long hair in a shawl blocked their way.
"Who are you and how did you get to this place?" Several fishermen didn't see this person in front of them at all, they only felt that there was one more person in front of them.
The eldest of the crowd hurriedly said, "We are fishermen in the neighborhood, and we have been hit here by a storm and by the waves. Where is this?"
Behind the middle-aged man was a huge red jewel-like ball, his face blurred in the shadows, and the fishermen could only tell his approximate age by his voice.
"Fisherman, strangely, my formation actually failed?" the middle-aged man muttered to himself, and then said, "Don't go forward. The front is dangerous. Go back and wait. The storm will go away tomorrow. ”
The fishermen looked at each other, and the elected boss had to ask cautiously: "That, that lord, you see that our fishing boat is broken down and can't be repaired for a while, can you show us a way to live? Otherwise, we will all die on this island." ”
The middle-aged man was silent for a while before he said, "You go to the beach first and wait." I'll go back to you tomorrow. ”
The fishermen were oppressed by the powerful aura of the middle-aged man, so they could only resign themselves and return to the seaside. After suffering all night, the sun came out of the sea in the morning, and several fishermen, who had been frozen all night in the torrential rain, kept looking at the huge jewel-like ball in the center of the island. In the storm, several thunderbolts struck the ball, and when the wind and rain were about to dissipate, for some reason, everyone felt that the ball seemed to come to life, and began to contract and stretch like a slow breath.
When the sun came out, the ball disappeared in front of the fishermen's eyes as if it had been covered by something.
Although everyone is strange, it is still important to live. As soon as the storm stopped, they hurried to find a way to repair the fishing boat. Everything else is easy to say, but the ship's mainsail was struck by lightning and broken into several pieces, and there was no way to repair it anyway.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe, long hair on his shawl, and a blurred face appeared.
"Where are you from?" the middle-aged man's face could be seen clearly, but the fisherman always felt very vague and couldn't put it together in his mind.
Hearing his question, the boat boss hurriedly answered his hometown, and the middle-aged man nodded slightly, and said, "You guys go back now, there will be a storm the day after tomorrow, and if you delay the time, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back." ”
The boat boss said, "My lord, the villain also wants to go back immediately, but this ship..."
The middle-aged man walked to the side of the fishing boat, took out a small wooden stick from nowhere, and pointed at the mast, which was quickly pinched together as if it had been grabbed by an invisible hand, and then blurred, and actually returned to its original state.
The middle-aged man ignored the fisherman's surprised gaze and continued: "If you don't return soon, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back if it's any later." ”
The fishermen hurriedly buckled their heads to thank them, calling them immortals. Then I got on the boat and left. When they returned home and told the story to others, they couldn't remember where the island was or what the god looked like, so they ended up leaving only the story and recording it in the family tree.
The biggest difference between this story and ordinary fairy anecdotes is that the fairy used a small wooden stick to point at it, and the mast returned to normal. For the average Muggle, it definitely doesn't feel very sensitive. But for the Muggle wizard, he immediately realized that there might be an extremely powerful wizard involved. Linked to the chronology of the genealogical record, the Muggle wizard thought a little about the history of the Suzaku School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it was easy to make a bold guess.
He hurried back to the school and reported the incident to Principal Lan. The headmaster and the elders and professors discussed it, and felt that this matter was probably not a simple coincidence, and it might really be a clue from the founder of the Suzaku School of Magic. One is that it is suspected to be a wand record, and the other is that it is once said that the founder named the magic school after Nanming Suzaku, and one reason is that he is extremely good at fire magic.
After some deliberation among the professors of the Suzaku School of Magic, three powerful wizards were finally dispatched to investigate. Sure enough, following this clue, I finally found the island.
The island is protected by strong spells, and ordinary Muggles will be banished, and wizards will also be affected to a certain extent. But as soon as the three wizards of the Vermilion Bird School of Magic felt this effect, they were all slightly shocked. It's all too familiar. They had felt it many times in the core magic pattern formation of the Suzaku Magic School, and legend had it that the magic pattern formation was built by the founder.
After careful examination by the three wizards, it was almost certain that this was the remnant left by the founder of the Suzaku School of Magic. There are all kinds of familiar magic techniques that only the wizards of the Suzaku School of Magic can use.
