Chapter Forty-Six: Back to the Cabin in the Woods

Time passed, and Zhang Hao spent most of his time interpreting Adson's diary, except for occasional small gatherings with friends.

October 2, 1478

The weather was cloudy

The team of pursuits has become even larger

But I'm also getting closer to the sorcerer's fortress

Hogwarts

Just enter that castle

The priests couldn't help me anymore

On the way, I met a master apothecary

He gave me a recipe

oh

He looked so old

It seems that he could fall to the ground at any moment

I don't know about medicine

But he told me to keep the recipe safe

I guess that recipe is important

The rest of the road is not far though

But will I really be able to get to Hogwarts safely?

As can be seen from this one, Adelson sees Hogwarts as the First Vault.

Muggle slaughter wars of wizards in the Middle Ages went on for a long time, and Muggles have recorded this history since 1480, but the history of magic is much older.

Ever since Merlin created magic, the Cult has felt a crisis from wizards.

Before Merlin, only the priests of the Cult of God could use holy arts, the oldest supernatural powers, with the help of fanatical faith.

And after Merlin, a supernatural power more powerful than the destructive power of holy magic appeared, and that was magic.

Zhang Hao was very emotional about this history, fortunately, the Divine Sect suffered from civil strife at the beginning, otherwise magic would have been strangled in the cradle.

After the birth of magic, there were more and more wizards.

The contradiction between the wizard community and the cult of God is also becoming more and more serious, and in general, the wizard basically belongs to the side that is being tilted.

It was in this historical context that the four founders founded Hogwarts, a wizarding fortress.

In the struggle that followed, wizards were basically free from persecution by the Cult as long as they came to Hogwarts.

"No wonder Hogwarts has such a high status in the wizarding world, this is a revolutionary mecca!"

Zhang Hao closed the diary, got up and left the lounge.

It's still the dark corridor, and the armor on both sides is like a guard, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The relief of the knight chasing the witch is still the same, but when he saw this picture again, Zhang Hao felt a little more.

This relief is not at all inconspicuous, but as soon as you pay attention to it, you will be attracted by the expressions of knights and witches.

The frenzy and disgust on the knight's face, the horror and anger on the witch's face, all profoundly expressed their respective positions.

Over the centuries, hundreds of thousands of witches have been persecuted.

And this picture is estimated to have appeared hundreds of thousands of times, and even many times, many wizards' encounters are ten times more terrifying than this.

In those dark times, the punishment of wizards was horrific.

"Ixpaliamas (except your weapons)!"

The disarming spell struck the blank wall, causing illusory ripples.

Zhang Hao looked at the wall as if it were nothing, and directly hit it head-on.

"Crackle!"

There was a short pop in the air, and Zhang Hao immediately appeared under the wooden house in the forest.

After learning to phantom shift, he won't be as embarrassed as he used to when he experiences teleportation.

The air in the woods was still fresh, and the occasional birdsong sounded around.

Zhang Hao looked around, and Lilith was not nearby. The rope ladder he had climbed last time was still there, and he followed it up to the hut.

Compared to last time, there are more flowers on the door of the wooden house.

These flowers all grow from the wooden door, as if the original dry wooden door has been revived.

"Hey, you're here again?" said Lilith's voice after herself, "Are these flowers pretty? ”

"Uh, Lilith, can you not suddenly appear behind me next time?" The voice suddenly sounded behind him, making Zhang Hao break out in a cold sweat.

"I'm sorry, but I sensed the magic fluctuations here and came back. Lilith said innocently, "The location of the apparition is here, and I can't control it more precisely." ”

"Oh! since that's the case, then I'll forgive you!" Zhang Hao can also phantur shift, of course, he knows that phantom shifting cannot be absolutely accurate.

Lilith didn't know where he was, and certainly couldn't show himself in front of him.

Even if it could, it must be a coincidence.

"Where have you been? Do you have any other friends in this forest?" Zhang Hao asked curiously, "This forest is very big, right? Are there any other intelligent creatures?"

"That's a lot!" Lilith smiled charmingly, her sharp teeth not looking so hideous.

"This forest is also inhabited by unicorns and centaurs, and they are very kind. They didn't seem to like me, though, and every time they talked to me, they ended up in a hurry. ”

As Lilith said this, her tone suddenly became very low.

"Maybe it's not that they don't like you, it's that you're too beautiful. Zhang Hao comforted: "Sometimes if you are too beautiful, it will also make others reject." It's like me, I'm very handsome, so there are always people who hate me. ”

"Really?" Lilith smirked, "Are you lying to me? I'm telling you, although I haven't learned human writing, I've lived in human society!"

"Have you ever lived in human society?" Zhang Hao asked in surprise, "When did that happen? ”

"I am the offspring of nightmares and elves, and I not only dream, but also possess. Lilith smiled, "For hundreds of years, I have been possessed by someone every once in a while to experience life in the mortal world. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Hao was suddenly shocked. He asked quietly, "Will you still possess the body?"

"Of course!" Lilith said with a smirk, "I know what you're trying to ask, and I can tell you unmistakably that I don't understand human writing." ”

Zhang Hao was a little unconvinced, he laughed and said, "Could it be that all the people you possess are illiterate?"

"You may have some misconceptions about the magic of possession," Lilith said calmly, playing with her blonde hair, "Most of the magic of nightmares is used to increase strength, and the same is true for possession and dreaming. In the process of possession, we can draw on the emotional power of humans to enhance their magic. The process is vague, and the memories acquired are also relatively profound fragments for humans. ”

"Words are important to human beings, but they are probably no more memorable than certain experiences. ”

"Okay! I see! We'll look into these issues later. Zhang Hao couldn't tell if Lilith was lying, so he could only expose the topic and say, "I came this time to see the books left by Adelson." Can I take those books with me?"

"As I said, everything in Adelson is up to you, you decide!" Lilith said nonchalantly, "She may have left behind some dangerous treasures, and I hope you can put them to good use." ”

There was something in her words, which made Zhang Hao a little confused.
