34. The junction of life and death

In front of this throne, Quirinus, who had to hide due to the "Philosopher's Stone Incident", once had a secret conversation with Verne, and in the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets, Verne showed Quirinus a wonderful trip of his own, and the Pen www.biquge.infoFun Pavilion of the trip was the Hogwarts Room of Requirement.

There is the Room of Requirement, the only passage in the world that can connect the ruined kingdom of Torlistine.

Yes, the historical kingdom of Torristen was ruined three hundred years ago, during the Muggle Holy See's expedition to Atlantis.

Legend has it that an unknown witch who lost her love in the Great War made a pact with Satan to gain great power and raid the Holy See forces besieging the Academy of Magic on the Day of Tears.

Although this operation allowed her to kill many commanders in one fell swoop, including the inquisitor of the Inquisition, the Grand Knight, and the Cardinal, the witch was still surrounded by the enemy, and in the most desperate moment, looking at the imminent fall of the Academy, the witch desperately came to the Ark of the Covenant, hoping to use this enemy's holy relic to fulfill her wish - to resurrect her lover and protect her country.

But she failed and succeeded. Because all the invading Papal armies disappeared into this world along with the Toristine kingdom.

The Ark of the Covenant, one of the two holy relics of the Holy See, along with the Holy Grail, is rumored to grant any wish if you get one of them. According to the Muggle Bible, the Ark of the Covenant was a chest containing the two tablets of the Ten Commandments that the prophet Moses had received from God Jehovah on Mount Sinai. If anyone touches it, they will be struck by lightning and killed, because they are guilty of "sin".

But that was just a rumor, and according to the wizards' later speculation, one of the real uses of the Ark of the Covenant was to activate the magic of the Squibs, even if the chances of success were not high, and they still couldn't cast magic.

However, their magic resistance will be significantly improved, even more than that of ordinary wizards, perhaps because their magic can only flow through their bodies, so they are the backbone of the Holy See's battle against wizards.

The Muggle Holy See refers to this activated power as Holy Power, and those who can wield it are the famous Paladins and Warriors of Light. But there is also a chance of this activation, and many people are even killed by the Ark of the Covenant because of the failure of activation.

And this is also the truth that "mortals who touch it without permission will be struck by lightning and die", because there is still a slight chance that the Squib still has a chance, and a Muggle without a little magic in his body is doomed to failure.

When a witch touches it and makes a wish like it, it fails, and the witch dies on the spot and causes a massive explosion.

However, historians have different speculations about the fact that the witch died on the spot, and based on some texts and historians' field exploration, the explosion that occurred in Torlistine is clearly real. However, no one really sees whether the witch is dead or not.

The person who might have actually seen it had disappeared with Torlistine, and it was only speculated from the explosion that the witch would not have survived in that case. That's why I came to that conclusion.

In addition, the enormous energy generated by the explosion destroyed most of the main body of the Ark of the Covenant, and only a small part was carried to the rest of Atlantis by the blast wave of the explosion.

And with the center of the explosion as the origin, within a radius of 100 kilometers, every qiē disappeared, disappeared silently. This disappearance is not the kind of disappearance that is bombarded by powerful magic or Muggle weapons, leaving only the wreckage, but the complete disappearance.

All the land, buildings, creatures, vegetation, hundreds of thousands of people have disappeared, and the small country of only 30,000 square kilometers in Atlantis called "Torlistine" has been completely erased, leaving only a huge bottomless black hole on her original territory.

What's even more bizarre is that nothing can enter the crater, and the sea water is like crashing against an invisible barrier on its periphery, crashing against the waves out of thin air, but not flowing in.

This aroused the curiosity of the wizards to explore the insides, but whether it was stones, arrows, swords, horned hawks, wyverns, or even magic, the wizards tried all kinds of methods to break through the transparent barrier.

Even in modern times, some open-minded wizards have even sought to use Muggle technology, but the results have been disappointing. They found that even with bullets, missiles, atomic bombs, or launch vehicles, no matter how powerful and fast the weapon was, it was impossible to break through that invisible boundary.

Some daring wizards have also tried to use apparition to enter its interior, but each time they have been teleported to some inexplicable place.

After repeated failures, wizards called it the "Ahwitz phenomenon", and no one knew how it came about, let alone what was going on inside. However, according to the reason for the creation of "Aweitz", they speculated that it must be the vanished kingdom of Torlistine, but now no one knows how Toristine is, so the wizards named it "Toristine Mystery".

The "Torristeen Mystery" has puzzled wizards for three hundred years, and if it weren't for Verne's accidental but inevitable discovery, no one would have known how to solve this mystery, let alone think that a Hogwarts classroom would be quietly connected to the interior of "Avitz".

Because no one could have imagined that someone would drag an entire country to the point of life and death.

According to legend, at the junction of life and death, whatever you want will be realized immediately, and that special space can satisfy people's needs, but the more they get in it, the closer they will get to death, and eventually they will fall into eternal ruin in this vain joy. Historically, there have been wizards who, after entering it, have managed to escape this wonderful and dangerous place by relying on their own wisdom and outside healing, and after awakening, they have named this place 'Abyss', 'Avalon', 'Choice Point', 'Gensokyo' or 'Crossroads'.

The Hogwarts Room of Requirement is one such place, and as far as Verne knows, Rowena Ravenclaw once closed herself off for some special reason, trying to break into the 'junction between life and death', but her purpose failed.

However, this dangerous journey was not without its rewards, and the result of that incredible trip was that Hogwarts now had an additional room where any wish could be granted, and although this room was still a bit far from the real origin of life and death, it could be said that the main plane was the closest to there.
