Chapter 137: Helena's Mission

Spirits are more powerful than ordinary magical creatures due to their ability to ban magic and spells. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOnce a wizard is approached by a Dementor, the wizard may never be able to cast magic again. The so-called Dementor Kiss can change the existence of wizards on a more basic level, causing them to lose all magical abilities and thus the perception of the entire real world.

Such terrible consequences are not something that any wizard can bear. Although Xie An had never seen the souls that had been hurt by the Dementors until now, Xie An could feel the pain and despair of being with the Dementors for a long time.

Azkaban is a stain on this magical England, a blind spot common to all sane wizards. Even a rock-hardened doomsday warrior like Xie An could feel cold to the bone, and those ordinary wizards, once they had been in this kind of environmental event for a long time, death in pain was their only destination.

Xie An had already prepared the one Dementor in his hand for experiments, wanting to completely strip away everything about the Dementors, and the last thing left was the essence of the Dementors. If this energy can really be extracted, it will completely change the magical world. It's a pity that Xie An doesn't have a very good way to store this energy now, and the only thing he can do is stripping.

Fortunately, Hermione's help is keeping Shayne on the right path, at least for now. Xie An would have liked to have a more useful helper that could help him experiment with combinations of various magic patterns, but unfortunately at the moment Magic Britain only has a self-mixing cauldron.

After checking again along the intricately distorted path of blue light and confirming that all parts were functioning normally, Xie An took out a blue bee chrysalis. This bee chrysalis is a magical creature larvae, which has not yet hatched, and the bee chrysalis is about the same size as a normal silkworm chrysalis, this magical creature is very cunning, and can start flying after birth. The honey of this magical creature is a valuable potion ingredient that can cure wizards' insomnia and fantasies. It is a necessary potion to heal the damage caused by the Confusion Charm.

Xie An put the finger-sized bee chrysalis into the magic array, the small magic array had not yet been activated, and the blue light reflected the surroundings as if they were in the sea. Xie An did not use a magic wand, but injected magic directly into his hands. This makes it easier to sense and control the amount of input mana.

The dark blue magic power flowed into the magic array from Xie An's fingertips, and after injecting the activated magic power, the magic array no longer needed to absorb the external magic energy, but instead extracted the energy of the bee chrysalis in the magic array.

The dark blue bee chrysalis floated up and fixed inside the magic array, and the smoke-like magic energy emanated from the bee chrysalis, constantly blending into the surrounding magic lines.

"There's no problem with extracting energy, I just don't know what will happen next, if I'm right...."Xie An carefully observed the changes of the bee chrysalis, this experimental base is now very large, although the surrounding area is still like a forbidden forest, but it has been shielded by Xie An with various magic powers, and many of these spatial spells have only been learned by Xie An recently through special means.

After more than ten minutes, the magic power of the bee chrysalis was extracted, and the dark blue color on the real bee chrysalis slowly faded, and the remaining bee chrysalis was like a white flesh worm. Such a pupa is like a queen bee, but there is no difference between head and tail.

The magic array continued to run, but at this time, there was no blue magic energy escaping from the bee chrysalis, Xie An frowned slightly, it didn't seem like this, and after waiting for a while, the light on the magic array began to dim, indicating that the extraction process had ended, and there was no magic energy to extract.

"No, when you extract potions, you can extract them completely, and you can directly turn those materials into useless grit, and replace them with living bee chrysalis, but you can only extract mana, but not directly extract its vitality, which doesn't make sense. Xie An said to himself.

"The formation has not changed, so what went wrong, maybe we can try another way. ”

Xie An changed various methods while recording the reaction, until the sky was the darkest, still no result, seeing that the stars in the sky were about to sink below the horizon, Xie An extracted some magic materials, mixed them together, and fed them to the dementors.

"Don't worry, when I'm solving a few problems, it'll be your turn. Xie An smiled silently at the Dementor.

――――――――

Today's weather was warmer than yesterday, and when Xie An passed by the Black Lake, he saw some strange creatures swimming in the water of the Black Lake. The temperature in the water is also rising, and the smell of spring is getting stronger. Among the many legends about Hogwarts School, the legend of its underwater ruins is one of the most famous.

The Black Lagoon existed a long time ago, around the time of King Arthur, before Hogwarts School was founded. In the lake lived an ancient mermaid creature. They have a well-developed civilization and possess great magic. There is very little interaction between merfolk and wizards, and there are many legends about merfolk among wizards. At that time, magical Britain was still crude in all aspects, and could not compare to those creatures with a long magical heritage.

Legend has it that King Arthur's sword was temporarily lent to the king by the spirit of the lake.

Xie An didn't know what secrets were hidden under the black lake, although the area of the lake was not large, but legend has it that there was a passage to the sea at the bottom of the black lake, and the mermaid also used space magic to change the topography of the bottom of the black lake.

Xie An, who had never seen a mermaid, was not interested in this, he wanted to know more about what kind of special magic the civilization at the bottom of the lake mastered. It's a pity that Xie An doesn't understand the language of any mermaid. If you have the chance, you can ask Elder Dora below, perhaps this knowledgeable elf elder knows some of the secrets of the world under the lake.

Just as Xie An was thinking about the secret of the mermaid, a lady walked up to him.

"Andrew Lee, I need to talk to you. The voice was sweet with a hint of sadness and unwillingness.

"Lady Ravenclaw, can you leave the castle?" Xie An asked with some surprise as he looked at the beautiful ghost in front of him.

"Ghosts can haunt the places where she used to move during her lifetime, and we don't usually leave the castle because we are afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. It's a small consensus of ghosts. "Helena Ravenclaw, the former princess of Ravenclaw, the former heir of the Academy of Wisdom, and the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, actually left the castle and appeared directly on the edge of the Black Lake.

"I see, I thought ghosts would only appear in buildings, not in the wild. "Xie An really never thought about ghosts in the wild before, such ghosts may only appear in cemeteries, I have never heard of ghosts can appear in very remote woodlands or grasslands.

"It's not something important, there's one and terrible thing going on, Ravenclaw needs your help. Helena said anxiously.

Xie An frowned and said, "Lady Helena, although I am a student at Hogwarts School, I am only in my second year, and I can't do anything about many things. If Ravenclaw House does run into any problems, you should go directly to Head Flitwick, or Headmaster Dumbledore, not me, the student. "Xie An is more annoyed by the troubles of the school, on the one hand, these troubles are all troublesome, involving all aspects, and if you are not careful, you will get into it, and on the other hand, these things may make Xie An get too much attention, in which case his little secret may not be protected.

"No, Andrew, you don't understand that when you became the guardian of Hogwarts School, you already had a special connection with the school, and you can't refuse to protect this school!" Helena said quickly but firmly.

"Uh?! I'm not much of a Guardian. Xie An was slightly stunned, got the golden key, and entered the candidate trial space without any wizard to see the whole process, Helena, as a ghost, actually knew that Xie An was the only guardian candidate, which was not a good thing.

"It's useless to deny it, Barrow and I have both been candidates, and we know very well whether you have been tested or not. At this time, you already have a contract with the school, and you can't refuse, otherwise, the consequences may be that both the school and you will be greatly harmed. Helena said coldly. This student is too selfish to think that he can get the Hogwarts school legacy for free, but he does not contribute anything to Hogwarts school.

Xie An's brows furrowed, and he became expressionless, "Is this kind of contract forced and cannot be dissolved?If I refuse, where will the punishment come from?"

"No, not what you think. Even if you abdicate your responsibility to protect Hogwarts School, you will not be punished by Hogwarts School. The contract was not perfect, as the four founders did not reach a consensus, so the contract was very flawed. However, this pact is volatile and can turn into an irrevocable curse if not handled properly. Of course, the prerequisite is that Hogwarts School is destroyed. Helena said coldly.

Both sides are tough, Xie An's impression of Helena is not deep, and his understanding of the ghost's past is also general, except that she was mistakenly killed by the bloody Barrow, nothing else is clear. This is still hearsay and has not been confirmed in any way.

"Well, I admit that my candidate training has been useful to me, so I'm willing to contribute to Hogwarts school and help Hogwarts to a limited extent. Is this okay?" Xie An thought for a while and said calmly.

Helena held back her anger and said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Hogwarts is a great school, and if it weren't for the contract that chose you, the school wouldn't force her students to do anything for her. ”

"Of course, noble lady, you are right. Please forgive me for the offense. I just didn't react for a moment. "Now that we have decided to help, there is no need to stiffen the relationship between the two sides.

"And what do I need to do, Lady Helena Ravenclaw?" asked Xie An politely.

Helena snorted, didn't blame Xie An too much for the change in attitude, and said calmly: "A Ravenclaw inheritance treasure has detected an ominous thing that has happened, and you need to investigate this matter clearly. ”

"That's all?" Xie An asked suspiciously. There's no difference between that and not saying it.

"It happened in a city in Europe, and I'll mark the location of it on the magic map later. All you need to do is confirm what's going on there, and find a key Noble Phantasm that no one else can take away. Helena continued.

"Venerable Lady Helena, can I take a look at the Ravenclaw Treasure that you mentioned, and what will happen if this task is not completed?" Xie An said with a blank face. He didn't know that Ravenclaw still had such a treasure, could it be the same as Yipan, an evolved version of the speculum, which could be used to avoid evil in advance?

"This thing can only be seen by the heirs of Ravenclaw. The cost of not being able to complete anything, it could be the destruction of Hogwarts School!" Helena said with unquestionable anger and anger.

"Am I not called the successor of Ravenclaw, am I not qualified to see it?" Xie An didn't seem to hear any dissatisfaction, and continued to ask calmly.

"You're still a candidate, and although you're the only candidate, you really haven't been accepted by Ravenclaw College. Go ahead and complete this task without mentioning it to anyone, including the professors at Hogwarts. This is the responsibility of the Guardians. After saying that, Helena turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared in place, and a roll of sheepskin fell to the ground, and after Xie An picked it up and opened it, he saw a bright red cross drawn on the lower right side of a city map.

"What are you doing so fast, I still have questions!" Xie An said to himself, he didn't know if he should set off immediately, he listened to Helena, this matter was very serious. If you wait until the summer vacation, maybe... Maybe you don't have to go.

After returning to the castle unhurriedly, he found that everyone was looking at him with very unusual eyes, Xie An was a little strange, could it be that Helena announced the identity of her heir again in front of the public.

When she got to the cafeteria, Hermione was already waiting at the door.

"Morning, Hermione, why are you here?"

"Andrew, I don't know what's going on, everyone knows you're going to challenge Cedric Diggory this morning, and all the students are going to watch the duel between the two of you!" Hermione said worriedly.

"I see. Then this morning. Didn't you say you could meet Cedric Diggory today?" Xie An was stunned, he had long forgotten about Cedric Diggory. Compared to this matter, Helena's confession, extracting the energy of the Dementors, solving the problem of the Philosopher's Stone, as well as the diary, the Dark Lord, and a series of other things, are much more important than this matter.

"But Andrew, Cedric Diggory has been preparing for a day, he's the best Hogwarts student, and I've heard that many prefects are no match for him!" Hermione advised.

Xie An glanced back at Hermione, did not explain, but grabbed her arm, and the two sat down at the dining table, and a basket of steamed buns automatically appeared in front of Xie An.

"Huh! Bun!" Xie An looked at the most familiar thing in surprise, and immediately understood that this should be Elder Dora's doting meaning.

"Here, Hermione, please eat one of my favorite foods, and as for Cedric Diggory, don't worry. If he wants to fight, he will fight hard. ”
