CHAPTER XLVII
Gail didn't know how long he had been in the center of the whirlpool, but his body was like a deflector, frantically absorbing the mana and channeling it into the net in front of him.
But in the blink of an eye, the past in front of him was quickly filled with the energy introduced by Gail, and most of the light was brightened.
Severus was worried about Gail, but he thought of what Gale had said to him before, and he had to stop - don't approach me from anyone, including you, Seaver. I don't know if my advancement will produce any energy fields or anything like that will hurt you when you approach me. Anyone!
When the web of light was lit up at an unusually fast speed, Gail felt that the violence in the energy that was raging in his body was isolated. The energy in his body is still flowing rapidly, but he is very "obedient to orders and obeys commands". They continue to form a gaseous state in Gael's dantian, then to a liquid state, and finally to a viscous gelatinous substance. The colloidal matter in the center began to compress into a solid substance, leaving more space on the periphery to accommodate the energy in Gail's body.
This iterative process took about two hours. Gail, who is at the center of the whirlpool, has no sense of time, but Seaver does.
In the past two hours, the hall, which was a little old when the two of them first entered, seemed to have been renovated, and gradually became clean and new, with a solemnity and majesty that the other hall did not have. At the same time, Helga's movements were less stuck, and his speech was smoother.
"This kid's magic is amazing!" "Now I finally know why Hogwarts brought this little guy here." ”
Severus glanced at Helgar and turned his gaze back to Gail. Although he did not respond to Helga's words, he mentally analyzed the meaning of the words. Listening to the meaning of the founder's words, Hogwarts turned out to be alive? Or is it just that he thinks too much, because the founder has a special affection for Hogwarts and uses anthropomorphic sentences? Gail looked like he was still advancing. What is it that makes such a big battle every time? This is not recorded in any book. Or is Gale actually another species? No, Gale is obviously a wizard, otherwise he wouldn't have received an offer from Hogwarts......
Severus thought about it for another half hour or so, and the vortex that surrounded Gale grew slowly and thin at a speed visible to the naked eye, but something more dangerous approached with a terrifying aura.
If Severus had been outdoors now, he would have noticed that the beautiful sky that had been setting just now was suddenly covered with dark clouds, especially above Hogwarts. The black clouds kept rolling as if something was brewing, occasionally emitting a hint of purple lightning.
In the Headmaster's room, Dumbledore was the first to feel something. As the headmaster, he can make the most of Hogwarts' resources and feel the changes in Hogwarts to the greatest extent. And now he feels like he hasn't felt since he took over as principal. He felt safer and more empowered! That's a good change.
The headmaster felt the same as the elves in the kitchen on the basement floor.
"Ahh Hogwarts! ”
"Hogwarts!"
"Hogwarts!"
No one can feel the subtle changes in Hogwarts more than these beings born of Hogwarts. They screamed, almost forgetting what they were doing. At the same time, the situation that had not been born for more than a decade without the birth of a new house-elf was broken. The walls glowed, and behind the light began to form the shape of a ball.
"It's new!"
"Newborn!"
"We've got a new life!"
The kitchen at Hogwarts was in shambles.
"How do you take care of it?"
"I don't know! Don't ask! ”
"Name! Name! What is your name? ”
"So busy! So busy! Dinner and newborns! ”
Beyond the castle, farther away in the Black Lake, the not-so-good-looking merfolk also felt it. They began to sing in the water. The giant squid surfaced and waved its tentacles, excitedly dancing as if it were dancing.
Farther away, the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest felt it and looked up at the castle at Hogwarts. Some of the alien species that were not native to the Forbidden Forest began to feel a coercion, making them want to escape.
Because it was Friday, most of the students were excited about the upcoming weekend and didn't notice anything unusual. Even the Gryffindor trio, who were guarding the corridor of the Room of Requirement, had absentmindedly missed the changes because the wait of more than three hours was too long.
The students in the auditorium were more concerned about the huge cloud that hung above the hall but did not emit it.
But in the next second they were talking, the cloud no longer suppressed its energy. White and purple lightning slashed down, startling the students under the transparent ceiling. But the lightning did not strike the hall, not even the roof of the auditorium. Eight or nine lightning bolts in a row are the same, and I don't know where they are being led.
The students laughed at each other, looked at the clouds that were gradually dissipating overhead, and continued to chat, waiting for meals.
When the golden pill inside Gaier's dantian gradually formed, continuous purple and white lightning fell one after another, catching Gail off guard. But what is very peculiar is that these lightning bolts not only did not hurt Gail, but were like high fires in steelmaking, which seemed to remove some not-so-good impurities from Gail's body.
"Ahem!" Gail coughed, feeling his throat tickle a little after being struck by lightning.
"Gail!" Severus stood still, trying to step forward but fearing that it would not be too late, so he called out Gail's name a little anxiously.
Gail turned his head and smiled at Silver, indicating that he was fine. Then he turned his gaze to Helga's portrait: "Ma'am, can I and Severus leave now?" ”
Gale promised that if the answer to Helga's portrait was no, then he would have to smash it! Even if it's a portrait of the founder!
Helga didn't expect Gale to be a little surprised that the first thing Gale said to himself turned out to be this. If other Hogwarts students saw the founder of the school, they would definitely not be in such a state, at least not in this indifferent or even slightly defensive state: "You are a little dissatisfied with me? ”
A little dissatisfied? is very dissatisfied!
"If you just want me to help you replenish your energy and repair your defenses, why did you separate me from Seaver before?" Gail asked, "As the founder, I assume that you, as a portrait, have the same emotions and experiences as the real founder, why did you make this-like thing in the first place?" If you hand this thing over to the headmaster to take over, will you have to wait nearly a thousand years to fix this decaying defense system? Obviously, there is a better way to solve the problem, but I have to wait until the fire burns my eyebrows and I will die before kidnapping a second-grade student to work as a coolie! You're not sick in the head, are you? ”
"Gail!" Severus interrupted Gail, "Your tone is excessive. She is a portrait of the founder! ”
Gail clasped his hands around his chest, angry at Seaver's words, and a little aggrieved. But Silver's next words made Gail smile again—"So even if she did something with a low IQ below the level, we can't accuse her so bluntly." ”
"I love this kid!" A long male voice rang out in the grand and glorious hall. Gale glanced at Seaver and swept his gaze back and forth between Salazar and Godric's portraits, fixing on Godric's.
Gail and Seaver didn't answer, and the hall fell silent. After about a dozen seconds, the portrait of Lady Ravenkla opened: "As I said, there is no need for testing. Being able to be sent here by Hogwarts is already a test in itself. ”
"Sal, are you there?" Godric, as if he hadn't heard, seemed to want to go to another place from his portrait, but was bounced back.
The Slytherin portrait, on the other hand, is silent and motionless. It's like an ordinary portrait.
"These two boys are young snakes! Thrall! Godric said without giving up.
"Can you let us go?" Gail waited impatiently and couldn't help but ask again.
This time, the three portraits replied to Gale in unison: "No! ”
"Why?" How? Do you want to keep me here as a generator? It's time to eat! He and Seaph are going to dinner!
Hearing the founders' negative return, Seaver quickly stood beside Gail, drew his wand, and re-grasped Gail's hand with his other hand.
The clothes on Gail's body were a little scorched by the lightning, and the previous actions and the fact that he was now pulled by Sever's hand and moved his arm, the clothes were directly scrapped. Both Gail and Seaver were a little dumbfounded.
Gail's wand is still a little lightning, but Gail, who doesn't have a space bag, can only pick up the wand that glows purple and white and make a "repair" to his clothes.
Fortunately, the spell was still very successful, and Gail's crisp robe immediately looked like it hadn't been struck by lightning before.
"Don't get excited, boy!" Godric said, "You've made Hogwarts the safest place in the world again, and you've re-awakened a few of our old guys, so how can we let you leave empty-handed?" ”
"In other words, you want to repay me?" Gail asked, and received an affirmative answer.
"Well, I have one thing. In the bathroom on the second floor of Hogwarts, there is a passage that leads directly to a secret room, which can only be opened with a Parseltongue. There's a basilisk in there that accidentally killed a student fifty years ago, and I want you to fix it. It's better to kill the basilisk. ”
"What?" The smile on Helga's face was gone.
"One student has already died?" Godric's expression turned angry.
"Only the Parseltongue can be opened?" Ravenclaw looked pensive, "This will ruin Thrall's reputation!" ”
"It's a descendant of my sister." A voice that hadn't been there before rang out, and Salazar's portrait moved, "How dare she?" How dare you do this in school! ”
"Another descendant of your sister is planning to kill all half-blood wizards and wizards of ordinary origin, and then rule the entire wizarding world and make all ordinary people his slaves." Gale added without being salty, not at all feeling that he had anything wrong with making Salazar's anger even bigger.
"So it was his father or mother who unleashed a basilisk and killed the student?" Ms. Ravenclaw apparently felt that the descendant who could be known to Gale should not be very old, so she put the charge of murder on the other party's elders.
"No!" Gale shook his head, "His father is an ordinary person, his mother is a squib, abducted this excellent lad with aphrodisiacs, stopped using aphrodisiacs after becoming pregnant, and his father ran away." His mother died in childbirth, and he grew up in an orphanage. Later, he killed his father's family, just after he became an adult. Recently, he slice his soul to escape death. ”
"Stupid! Stupidity! Salazar's originally cold voice raised a pitch, and his tone became a little excited-
