Chapter 350: Star Sea Hall (2)
The three of them nodded, and the four of them stepped up the first step together. The guards were activated in an instant, and the two guards disappeared on the spot at the same time, followed by a violent light, "There are many obstacles!", "Armor protection!" "Feet of mud are deep!" The spells of the four people sounded almost at the same time, relying on the pre-prepared armor spells, after successfully resisting the first magic attack, and relying on the follow-up spells, successfully controlling the two guards, the four warriors got a temporary respite.
The four warriors tried, and they couldn't apparition in the air, but they could stand on the steps, but that meant that the four of them needed a high degree of tacit understanding, and once one phantom shifter was a little faster, they might have to face two apparition guards alone!
"These steps are innumerable, and there is simply not enough time to come one by one!" Looking at the countless steps, and the incomparably magnificent hall at the end of the steps, Cedric Diggory continued, "The armor can protect us, as long as we cooperate well, we will definitely be able to." ”
Fleur and Cedric Diggory glanced at each other, and seeing that each other's eyes were still clear, all four nodded.
What can move a wizard is the vast starry sky in addition to moral greatness. For the infinite years, the wizards' world magic has risen and fallen, and there are many and few secrets of nature, some dynasties have prospered and flourished, and wizards can enjoy almost endless life, and the fall of such dynasties is recorded in the banned book "Blood Elf Dynasty" at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and some dynasties are weak, their magic has almost completely disappeared, and even the legendary creature dragon has disappeared due to the exhaustion of magic, so that the poor dynasty is recorded in the "GOT Game of the Seven Gods" in the forbidden book area. Yet whether or not these dynasties possess great magical powers, or whether they hold the secrets of space and time, they are all worlds ruled by greedy, immoral beings like us.
Regardless of whether the wizards continue to study the secrets of magic, it seems that the wizarding world has remained unchanged for thousands of years, the classes are clear, the barriers of the country have never disappeared, and the history of any dynasty is almost a history of war and conspiracy. This is especially evident in the history of the Huaxia Kingdom. This may not be because the wizards of Huaxia Kingdom are worse, but because Huaxia Kingdom has completely recorded these conspiracies and wars on paper.
The founder of the Suzaku School of Magic and Wizardry was a former loser in the Game of Thrones, but it was this failure that allowed him to break through the last cage of mortals and become a demigod that ordinary wizards could not imagine.
A Mosesian bishop once said: You will eventually find that you can change not the world, not the country, not your blood, not your lover, but only yourself. Deranged wizards will treat the wizards around them as if they don't exist, or as if they are their own imaginations, and Voldemort likes to torture wizards insane, making them unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.
Worldly rights are so beautiful, the lover's face is so seductive, delicious food, mellow wine, and melodious melody in our hearts, there is nothing that our mortal hearts do not like.
The Mirror of Eris reflects the deepest desires of a wizard's heart, and the elixir allows a wizard to reveal his deepest secrets. But none of this made the wizards realize one thing: instead of becoming more honest and truthful, the wizards went further and further in deceiving and threatening each other.
It is pointless to discuss whether a wizard is good or evil in nature, the attributes of a wizard are weapons in themselves, and the killing of a wizard as a tool is not right or wrong at all. Even the unconscious, bacteria, cells, magic, and those unicorns that are crafted into potions, dragons bred to provide dragon meat and bloodletting, furs to provide warm clothing for wizards, and elves that keep entire wizarding families, the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry functioning properly. Are they just lower beings, or are they vassals of weapons? Hermione Granger sympathized with the elves, but she wasn't content to enjoy the elves' free services for a long time before she found out the truth.
Xie An knew very well that the world had always been like this, but the magic was not so strong before, and the world was difficult to destroy, until the Muggles had enough power to destroy themselves, the Muggles did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and in the hysterical laughter, in the carnival of destruction, the bullet pierced the heads of all Muggles.
Imagine that there is only one wizard left on Earth, so how can he position himself? Transfiguration may be able to conjure up a lot of Muggles of the same appearance as him, or other Muggles of the same gender as him, but those Muggles have no memory! They don't know what they are, and they don't know what Muggles or wizards are.
Courage will be tired, morality will crumble, and as long as the wizard still yearns for freedom, then darkness and light will coexist for one day.
Relying on the seamless cooperation of the phantom shift, the four of them finally saw the end of the steps, the incomparably huge gate was closed, and above the gate, a plaque with no edge and unknown material was engraved with three Chinese characters taller than the world's tallest skyscraper.
Cedric Diggory didn't know what the huge text meant, and neither did the other three warriors. Their attention was quickly drawn to something else.
Countless faintly glowing fist-sized balls of light flew out of the Star Sea Palace, these balls of light should be slow and opaque, and the light seemed to be the same as the stars at night.
After the last apparition of the four, they reached a vast platform that seemed completely out of proportion to the vast space around them, as it was completely normal.
"Does the space seem to be back to normal, or have we changed in size?" Cedric Diggory looked around in surprise. After this apparition, they seemed to be in another dimension. In front of him was no longer a planet-sized Star Sea Palace, but a slightly tall palace that looked magnificent. Looking back, Zhou Shang seemed to be not far away, and the hanging islands on the periphery in the distance, as well as the cliffs farther away, could be seen.
"We're back to normal!" Fleur cautiously looked around, she had used her wand to push those glowing balls when she took advantage of the gap, and at this time those balls disappeared, and they were shrunk countless times!" "Don't stop using armor to protect yourself, we're not out of danger, those balls!" Fleur hurriedly reminded Cedric Diggory and the others to let their guard down.
Cedric Diggory hurriedly continued to add armor to himself, and Cedric Diggory also added a bubble head charm to himself, which looked a little funny. But did not laugh at him. "There's some black bugs in those things!" Fleur tried to describe what she had just seen, and her wand easily punctured the bubbles, and after a pop, the cloudy bubbles exploded, and a strange insect like a curled baby appeared, and what was even more strange was that the strange insect disappeared in a flash, and soon dissolved into the air like smoke.
"It looks like a snake with a lot of legs, I don't see it clearly, maybe it has a lot of scales, anyway, it will soon dissolve in the air, and by the time you deal with the guards, it will have dissolved and disappeared!" Fleur's words made Cedric Diggory a little puzzled, this is not the time to think about it, it is better to believe Fleur's words.
"Keep the armor talisman spell and add the bubble head charm if necessary. The four of them all added a bubble head spell to themselves, but fortunately, those things would emit a strange light, and although there were those small light sources around, the four of them had not yet inhaled them.
The three big characters of the Star Sea Hall hung on the main hall, there was silence all around, and the stone-paved square was empty, Cedric Diggory observed it, he didn't know what the difference was, it didn't seem to have any magic patterns, and there were no traces of magic.
"I suppose we're going to the main hall now, right?" Cedric Diggory looked at Fleur. Fleur was still a little hesitant, but she thought about it and nodded. Although the square is huge, it does not have the feeling of a whole continent. In the universe, the visibility is more than 10,000 meters, and when you look back at the planet, you can still see those peaks and oceans clearly.
If the four of them were still controlled by strange magic, then they should feel like they were walking on an infinite continent at this time. Fortunately, by this time, the strange magic was gone. I didn't walk long, and I had already arrived in front of the Star Sea Palace. On both sides are tall cylinders, which are also engraved with countless magic patterns, which also come in various shapes. Behind the columns were long corridors with countless guards.
"So many guards!We'll all be turned into patterns on pillars in an instant!" Fleur said in surprise. The armor amulet spell is not infinitely useful, too many attacks down, and the spell will collapse. And in the action just now, they also found that the attack of those guards is itself a magic attack, that is, no matter where it hits, as long as it hits, it will take effect, and once it takes effect, it will be immediately sealed and turned into a flat pattern.
"I'll try it first. Cedric Diggory repeated his old trick and transformed into a fist-sized beetle that flew into the hallway, and the guards did not react before the beetle hit the ground. But when the beetle hit the ground, a guard appeared and sealed the beetle.
"One won't work, we'll have to try several together. Fleur transforms three beetles at the same time, causing them to fly into the corridor together, this time even more bizarre: three guards appear out of thin air at the same time, sealing the beetles.
"Where did they come from?" Fleur obviously didn't see any of the guards around her disappear, and neither did the guard just now.
"Didn't see it!" Cedric Diggory also didn't find out where the three guards who appeared were coming from.
"Let's do it again!" Fleur said to Cedric Diggory. This time, the two of them conjured ten beetles at once, and these beetles flew into the corridor almost together, landed on the ground, and then ten guards appeared in an instant!
Although the time was extremely short, the four of them still saw a little clue: "It's the same as the ghost just now!" Furong didn't have the slightest concept of this weird space magic before, if it wasn't for Zhou Shang's reminder, they wouldn't know that the ghosts on the first hanging island were not in the same space as them at all, but in the rift of space.
Both Fleur Delacour and Cedric Diggory had fought the strange monster themselves, and they knew the strange fluctuations in mana and the strange feeling of those monsters when they attacked through the spatial barriers.
At this point, they felt the exact same wave of mana. "They're not in this space at all!" Cedric Diggory nervous after understanding what that meant. Those monsters attack in an extremely strange way, and it seems that no defensive magic is effective, and they can only constantly dodge or destroy their main body. But now that Zhou Shang is still below, they don't know how to find the body of those monsters, if those monsters attack at this time, Cedric Diggory and the others will be in danger.
Fleur Delacour also understood that the situation was urgent, and she immediately tried to open the door in front of her with her magic: "Alaho Cave Open!" was obviously useless, and the gate seemed to be covered with a strange layer like the pavilion of the Hanging Island.
"Can't be opened!" Fleur's attempt, Cedric Diggory, saw it, and the result was the same as he thought, if that kind of powerful magic was used on the outer islands, there was no reason why there was no protection on the main temple.
"We have to let Zhou Shang come up!" Cedric Diggory didn't know how to deal with such a strange situation! He was already completely impressed by the founder of the Vermilion Bird School of Magic. He had always thought that Hogwarts Magic Castle was the most mysterious place in the world, even Ilvermorny couldn't compare to it, but today, after arriving at this ruin, Cedric Diggory has completely subverted his entire perception of magic.
Legend has it that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has many secrets inside, whether it's the Room of Requirement or those that constantly move stairs, it's an extremely mysterious place. Of course, the most mysterious of these is still the so-called secret room left by Salazar Slytherin to future generations. When the basilisk escaped from the vault, Cedric Diggory was also involved in the operation against the basilisk.
Of course, the operation was not considered a success, Hogsmeade was almost destroyed by the basilisk, and later the school classified the secret room as a forbidden place, but as a prefect, Cedric Diggory naturally had his own way. He had been to that chamber to see it on the ground. To be honest, disappointed.
You know, after Merlin's curse, the magic of the wizarding world has been declining, and it is said that the magic of the four founders should be far stronger than any of the current wizards, so the secret room should be unimaginably full of shock, but in fact, the secret room has no peculiarities except for the need for snake language to open the door.
