Illuminated by the golden and black light, shimmering figures detached from the ball of light in the middle of the cave. At the same time, the walls of the surrounding cavern hummed due to the resonance of the magic, as if echoing Hermione's spell.

The figures grew larger and larger as they left the orb of light, and eventually became the size of a normal human. At the same time, the details of the body are becoming clearer and clearer, no longer a vague humanoid silhouette like in the past, but into one human ghost after another made of smoke.

They were dressed in old costumes and looked like the people depicted on the paintings at Hogwarts. And from their souls, Ryan could feel that none of them were ordinary wizards in their lifetimes.

After squeezing out of the orb of light, they gathered together after a brief burst of excitement and began to converse in Old Latin. A few minutes later, an older wizard with a white beard and an ancient wool pointed wizard hat was promoted by the other spirits, and he slowly floated up to Ryan and performed an ancient wizarding ritual on Ryan, it seemed that all the souls wanted to communicate with Ryan through him.

"Wait a minute. Ryan returned the same courtesy, and then said in Old Latin, "Please let my companions let everyone out, so that we can deal with the situation you are facing at once." ”

Fortunately, once the magic ritual that Hermione was presiding over was successfully run, it didn't need to put too much effort into it, and everything that followed would naturally fall into place. As the soul continued to leave, the ball of light began to flicker, and the frequency of the flickering became higher and higher.

Half an hour had passed, as the last soul had left the ball of light. The ball of light also lit up violently and disappeared completely, like a burning candle. At the same time, those souls were densely packed into this small underground space. It even reminded Ryan of the train station during the Spring Festival in his previous life.

Fortunately, souls can fly, so after a brief discussion, some of the ghosts flew up and formed a hemispherical form in the cave with the other ghosts, and the two people who were at the center of their attention were Ryan and Hermione.

"Young people. After the ghosts were lined up, the old ghost, who had been chosen by the ghosts to represent him, stood up from the group of ghosts and said to Ryan, "Please tell us what age it is?"

"It's January 1998. Ryan replied to the group of ghosts, then asked. "By the way, do you know the definition of A.D.? That's-"

"Yes, we know this method of time calculation from people who don't know magic. The old wizard's soul interrupted Ryan with a slight impatience, and then sighed softly. "More than 1,000 years have passed, and I think our kingdom has disappeared into history. ”

"Yes, you're right. Hermione said, "After King Arthur left for Avaloon for good, the kingdom of Britain fell apart completely, and the people were scattered. ”

Hermione's words made the souls of these wizards immediately clamor, and some of the ghost wizards had sad looks on their faces. There were even a few ghost wizards who wept bitterly.

The confusion lasted for several minutes before it was suppressed by the soul of the old wizard who had been elected to communicate with Ryan and them, and after everyone had fallen silent, the old wizard's soul continued to ask. "I see that the two of you are wizards like us, so what is the situation of wizards now, are they still feared and feared by ordinary people?"

"The wizards are okay now, but now all the wizards are separated from the common people, because there was a witch hunt among the ordinary people hundreds of years ago. To protect both sides, the wizards passed a secrecy law. Ryan replied earnestly.

"Prey Movement, Secrecy Law. These endless new words confuse the wizards who had been confined for thousands of years, so after a few minutes of whispered exchange, the old wizard's spirit asked Ryan if he could explain what was going on outside.

Naturally, Ryan was willing to fulfill the small wish of these poor revenants, so he took out two chairs from the space bag and sat down with Hermione one by one, and then began to talk about the history of the wizarding world for more than 1,000 years, as they had seen from previous magic history textbooks and various collected materials.

This lecture lasted more than three hours, and even though he took turns with Hermione throughout the lecture, Ryan felt that his throat was extremely dry. Fortunately, after the final speech, these ghosts were stuck there because they received too much information in one breath. He also took this opportunity to take out two cups of honey mint herbal tea from the space bag and gave one to Hermione.

It wasn't until the two of them drank the herbal tea that the souls of these wizards slowly quieted down. After that, the old wizard soul who had been communicating with Ryan and them came out again and asked Ryan and them. "Can you tell me what you have for us undead?"

"We'll take you where the dead should go. Ryan said. "After all, the world belongs to the living, and you are not suitable in this place. ”

"That's good," the old man's soul nodded. "In our time, there were countless evil people who were very fond of enslaving souls, especially the souls of wizards like us. We are lucky to have met a young, powerful, and kind wizard like the two of you. ”

After saying that, the old man's soul nodded slightly. Then, all the wizards' souls in the room reached into their chests and took out a small ball of gray mist the size of a ping-pong ball. Then they threw the ball together.

The balls flew out and began to slowly flatten out, and the edges and corners appeared, and finally turned into A4 paper made of gray smoke. All the A 4 papers slowly gathered together under the command of the leading old man wizard, and finally became a book of soul states.

"I have heard that over a long period of time, much wisdom from antiquity has been completely forgotten. So to thank you for helping us, all of us have taken out all the knowledge we have and put it in this book. I think a powerful wizard like you will be able to draw enough nourishment from it. ”

"Thank you. Ryan and Hermione performed an ancient wizarding ritual at the same time, after which Ryan took out a rosewood box filled with cinnabar charms from his bosom and collected the book of the state of the soul. "We're going to sort it out little by little and pass it on to the right wizards. ”

After completing the exchange, Hermione held Ryan's hand to resonate with the magic of both sides, and then used this powerful magic to attract the power of the Undead Black Warp and the Sun Golden Warp.

In an instant, two kinds of light, gold and black, gushed out from the two books, forming a two-colored ancient Greek gate in the air. In the middle of the gate was a tumbling black fog, and the black fog hid a strong death power. Surprisingly, though, this power of death is not evil, but rather gives people a sense of tranquility.

"Is this the world of the dead? As dead spirits, the ghosts of these wizards soon learned the purpose of this door, and one by one they floated past Ryan and saluted, and then stepped through the door with their heads held high.

After all the more than 300 souls had left, the door flickered in the air and vanished completely. At the same time, Hermione's whole body also fell limply into Ryan's arms.

"You're still in too much of a hurry. Ryan whispered after turning the chair into a chaise longue and helping Hermione to lie down. "It's still too hard for you to open that door now. ”
