In his last life, Gail once watched a short movie called it. It briefly introduces some cases of not doing or dying and wise ways to deal with them. In the face of an unknown environment, it is best not to venture out of curiosity or because of the courage of a master of art. Generally such a person dies faster than others, unless he has the aura of the protagonist.

Gail didn't think he had the aura of a protagonist, otherwise he wouldn't have been beaten like an ant by Rothdorf before. So the best way to face a place like this is to get out of the way before he and Seaver trigger anything. Then go to the almighty Headmaster Dumbledore to solve this problem.

As for the personal heroism of those middle two, I'm sorry, Gale still feels that his life is more important, especially since there is also a Severus who is innocently involved in this incident.

Seaver agreed with Gail, so the two men walked back into the passage and went back the way they came. Along the way, Gale muttered, "I'd better go to the Forbidden Forest, it's nothing to go inside." As long as you don't go too far in, there are still unicorns in the Forbidden Forest anyway! And Thestrals or something, there should always be a place that is not so easy to be disturbed and not dangerous. ”

Severus didn't speak, and pulled Gail: "Gail, haven't you noticed that the passage seems to be getting narrower?" ”

Gail also stopped, and visually measured the width of the passage, which was indeed much narrower than when the two of them had always been wide. But he didn't want to ask Gale to retreat into the hall. So Gail took Seaver's hand, and changed from a calm walk to a trot: "I think we are so naïve!" I didn't think there were any traps, but it looks like they've been touched from the very beginning when we enter that hall! ”

Severus pursed his lips under Gail's cold ball of light, holding Gail's hand and being led by Gail's run. But soon, the two had to stop. Because the passage became narrower and narrower, and finally even one person could barely get through guò. Gail leaned sideways, just not letting go of Sever's hand.

It is extremely unwise to be separated from your partner in such a situation. Gail thought to himself. "Seaver, we must not be separated!"

Severus let out an "um", and the sound echoed in the passage a little muffled.

After a while, the two men reached the end of the passage, but the exit was a square hole that only one person could barely climb through. Gail manipulated the ball of cold light through the hole, which was about a meter long, and at the other end was the staircase where the two men came.

Gail drew his wand and tried the Smash Charm and the Freezing Charm, hoping to destroy the wall. He always felt a little weird. But the spell hit the wall and didn't react.

"Looks like we're going to have to crawl over to get out." Seaver said, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

Gail, too, always felt that since this passage was so strange, it was impossible for the two of them to be guò so easily. Gale looked at the hands they were shaking hands, then at the hole where only one person could get through guò, and something flashed through his mind. Then it dawned on me.

"No, we don't climb!" Gail pulled Severus to his feet. "This hole, if we want to get through guò, we have to let go! What if one of us cleared the guò and the hole disappeared? The remaining one will be separated from the previous one! We don't climb! Gail took Sever's hand and changed it to his left hand and shook his right hand, "Let's go straight over!" ”

After saying that, he wrapped his entire right hand with his aura and slammed it into the wall in front of him. This time, the walls shook under a purely physical attack. There was a crack in the spot where Gale had hit. It's not obvious, but it's a success!

Gail happily exchanged a happy look with Seaver and slammed into the wall again. The vibration and roar from hitting the walls made the entire passage move. Gail and Seaver were dismayed by the shaky passageway, but even so, Gail still held Seaver's hand and didn't let go, and neither did Seaver.

But when the shaking of the passage stopped, Gail and Severus were dumbfounded, and the long path behind them was gone, as was the hole in front of them, where only one person could pass through Guò, and was replaced by the entrance to the previous hall.

"Damn it!" Gail muttered a little frustrated.

Instead, Severus breathed a sigh of relief: "Whew, Gail, your guess is correct. If one of us had gotten through that hole, we would have been separated from the other. Looks like this is supposed to be a space magic. ”

"So it looks like we're going to have to go in, right?" Gail said, pointing to the entrance to the hall.

Severus nodded: "Judging from just now, no matter who the other party is or what they want to do, it doesn't seem to mean to hurt us." Although he wants to separate us. ”

"Let's go and have a look!" Gail took a deep breath. Since you can't dodge it no matter what, you can only move forward.

With the great courage of a strong man breaking his wrist, the two of them stepped into the hall they had just left. This time, in what was supposed to be the place where the teacher's seat was placed in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, four portraits appeared - two men and two women.

Well, look at the blonde guy on the far right with a cheerful smile, it must be Godric Gryffindor. Next to him was a short, stocky, smiling gentle witch, clearly Helga Hufflepuff. But only her contemporaries would know that Miss Hufflepuff's combat power and proficiency in applying spells were actually several times higher than that of the notoriously brave Gryffindor.

Next to Helga was a very elegant-looking woman, who must have been Ms. Ravenclaw. Speaking of which, she is more appealing than Lady Helen, whose daughter has become a ghost. And beside her, there was a young man who looked pale and arrogant, it should be Salazar Slytherin.

Seeing the portrait of Slytherin, Gale determined that the statue of the old man in the secret room in the original book who "looked like a crumpled monkey" must have been conjectured by later generations, or it was specially used for high-end black! Because according to the law of "handsome guys are old handsome guys", Slytherin must not look that much like a "crumpled monkey".

So, is this actually the territory of the founders of Hogwarts? The corners of Gail's mouth twitched, is this the law of traveling through the world of Harry Potter or what? How is it that every non-native as soon as they arrive at Hogwarts will find the founder's secret room or something?

“…… You are guò...... Qualified...... Mend...... The magic is very special...... "The portrait in front of me spoke, but I don't know why, it sounded like a mobile phone call with an unstable signal, and the speech was intermittent. And only the portrait of Helga is moving, and it is still card by card when it moves.

"What is she talking about?" Severus wasn't stupid either, and immediately realized that the four portraits here were portraits of the founder. From the staccato words of what appears to be the portrait of Ms. Helga, it can be guessed that the other party is saying that they have passed some kind of test and met certain standards. But the "patching" later, what to patch? Portraits of them? There is also "Magic is special", which should be worth Gail.

Gail was also confused. What is this? He just wanted to find a place to get married, how did he end up in this place where he didn't know where?

Helga's voice stopped, as if realizing something, and began to repeat each word several times, as if learning something.

But the repetition of such words allowed Gael and Severus to discern what the original portrait intended to express: this is the center of Hogwarts' protective system. Originally, it needed to absorb magic through small mechanisms to protect Hogwarts from the outside world, but since the death of its founders, it has fallen into disrepair and become weaker and weaker.

In the Founder's time, the technology of portraits was not particularly perfect, and the Founder's portraits were not like other Hogwarts portraits, and there were special people who repaired and superimposed magic circles every year, so it gradually became like a video disc on cassette. And the founders, who are the owners of the portraits, have to gradually reduce their activities and go into a standby state. There are even three founders who have already had power outages. In another ten years, it is estimated that Helga will also lose power, and this center will be completely shut down.

This is Gail's understanding, probably because he meets some conditions, and his magic is very special, so Helga, a person in a standby state, finally found a life-saving straw, hoping that Gale can help repair Hogwarts.

Gail grinned, what is this called? It's still mandatory! Because Helga said that she was not capable enough to open the passage back. Gail felt so good that he almost yelled at Helga, "Then you shouldn't have brought us both in!"

"So, they need you to be the generator?" Seaver summed it up.

Gail nodded silently, not wanting to say a word.

Helga's movements and words became more and more frozen, but his expression became more and more urgent.

Severus didn't know if fixing this defense system would hurt Gail, but Hogwarts was important to him as well. And that doesn't seem like a bad thing.

Gail took a few deep breaths, and reluctantly asked Seaver to stand behind the four portraits, himself standing in the place where the principal was supposed to speak each semester.

When Helga's portrait was seen, he immediately did something in his portrait, and a net appeared in front of Gell's eyes. Many of the lines and dots on this net are dull, with only a few dots extending outwards and lighting up a few lines.

Gail didn't know what to do, so he reached out and touched the very bright area in the middle, but passed it without touching anything.

“…… Magic...... Cast...... It depends on ...... Wand ......" Helga's ten-stuck voice sounded again, and Gail pulled out his wand a little helplessly, trying to use his wand to channel the spiritual power in his body to the net.

This time it was a great success, Gael and the net were successfully connected, and from the point where Gail's wand touched, a line was covered by Gail's spiritual power and there was a bright light.

"Well, so far, so good." Gail thought it was quite easy. While channeling the spiritual power in his body into the net, he absorbed the free magic power in the air to replenish the consumed, and he was at ease for a while.

But Gail obviously forgot one thing, he is now in the stage of foundation building, and he can't suppress the state of foundation building great perfection that is about to be knotted when he cultivates! Without warning, a whirlpool appeared with Gael as the center.

At first, it was just a gentle spin, and both Gail and Seaver thought it was normal to fix Hogwarts' defenses. But as the vortex grew bigger and more intense, more and more like a magical riot, Seaver suddenly thought back to what had happened at the opening party, and Gail himself said that there might be another one on a larger scale in the near future. That's it! ――
