The light dinner was soon over, Osylvia arranged it, and soon the black ship was turning around at the bottom of the sea, heading in another unknown direction.

After some travel, Ossivia returned to the deck with Hoffa. On deck, they saw Vladimir drinking from the side of the ship with several Durmstrang wizards. Drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes at the same time.

Ossivia walked towards Vladimir with some dissatisfaction, and several wizards around him saw it and quickly stabbed Vladimir. Vladimir was stunned, and when he saw Osivia, he quickly extinguished his cigarette and pushed the glass to his companion.

Ossivia stood in front of Vladimir, and several wizards bowed their heads, looked at Osiva like the students who had made mistakes, and shouted: "Headmaster Normanova." ”

Ossivia glanced at the ashtray and said lightly, "Each person cleans for a week, understand?"

"Understood!" replied in unison several wizards.

"Go, Vladimir, go and help me get the boat ready, I'm going to check out the place. ”

Vladimir gritted his teeth, looked up and asked, "This, it's so late, do you still have to go to check?"

"Yes. Ossivia said absent-mindedly.

"Can't you go tomorrow, you just checked three days ago. ”

Vladimir said with some sullenness.

"I'm a little nervous and I have to make sure everything goes wrong. ”

Ossivia said.

"Okay. ”

Vladimir said gloomily, patting the shoulders of several wizards around him. Say goodbye to them.

When the boat was ready, Ossivia stepped into the boat and said to Vladimir: "Take care of the black ship and don't let any creatures get close, understand?"

Vladimir said unhappily: "See, have you seen my problem? ”

"Hoffa. Come up. ”

Ossivia said in the boat.

Hoffa did not get on the boat at the first time, he smiled at Vladimir: "Thank you, brother-in-law, the dinner was delicious." ”

Vladimir shook his body, looked at Hofa, then at Osivia, couldn't help but pull Hofa, and said in his ear: "Note, stay safe, okay?"

"You too. Hoffa hugged the nervous man.

He then jumped into the boat.

The boat left the big black ship, and under the protection of the membrane, quietly moved forward in the sea water, all the way to the unknown darkness.

"You're so gentle, Hoffa. Ossivia stood in the boat and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you probably weren't like this in the past." ”

"Senior sister is still so strict. Hoffa sat on the deck and laughed.

"Am I harsh? Hmph, Vladimir has always been like that, he used to be too well protected. ”

Ossivia said dissatisfiedly: "I always get upset because of some inexplicable little things, I don't know what he's thinking, doesn't he know how tense the situation in the wizarding world is now? ”

Hoffa hesitated, "Actually, I think he's pretty good." When he first cleaned up the house, I thought he was genuinely happy. And, he's been talking for you. Even if you have to go out, he is very worried, which is probably the concern of most men. ”

"Mostly male?"

The corners of Osivia's mouth twitched twice.

Hoffa looked at Ossivia and said seriously, "Senior sister, you are better than them. ”

"Naturally, I am the wizard who woke up the fastest in the plague of lethargy. Without me, half of the people on this boat would still be asleep. Ossivia said proudly.

"So you've got to take care of them. Hoffa said.

Ossivia was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "What do you know? ”

Hoffa didn't argue, just looked at the deep waters in front of him.

After the boat sailed in silence for a while, Osivia sighed helplessly: "Maybe you think that the Vladimirs are not bad, maybe you think it's a good thing that I'm engaged, but unfortunately, my fate is not in my control many times, and as the bloodline of the family, I am crowned with a heavy responsibility." The union with Vladimir is just a kind of politics. ”

If it was before, Hoffa might have expressed some opinions after hearing such things, but now, when he heard such things, his eyes only darkened.

"It's not easy for senior sister. He said.

"It's not that hard, I don't feel like I'm feeling bad, maybe not everyone can experience love. At least for me or other Slytherins, this kind of thing wasn't even an embellishment, and the things that girls thought were sweet were even a little funny to me. Ossivia said.

Hoffa was speechless, it was Osivia's choice, he had nothing to say.

The boat moved forward in the dark waters, and the bells swayed slightly in the water. After a moment of silence, Ossivia suddenly said: "However, you may not believe it, many times, I miss the days when I traveled with you to class, I was really simple and naïve. Although there is Silby that guy," Ossivia shook his head self-deprecatingly, "Don't think too much, don't take on too much." ”

Huo Fa opened his mouth slightly, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he said: "Senior sister, when the half-human king is ambushed, everything will go back to the past, and I will definitely defeat him." ”

Ossivia said happily, "So confident, Hoffa, but I believe in you. Anyway, I've wanted to take you to Durmstrang for a long time, and when the matter is over, do you want to come to Durmstrang to be a Transfiguration teacher? The salary is higher than that of Hogwarts~"

Ossivia said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Huo Fa looked at the smiling face of his senior sister, and his eyes flashed with a complicated gaze, which was both reluctant and helpless. Whatever the outcome, he must go back fifty years and see Aglaia in order to live up to the awakening that God has given him. And this also means that one day in the future, he will say goodbye to the people of this era forever, including this former senior sister of the Snake Academy.

Such a fate made him reluctant to look at Osivia, as if he wanted to burn this moment in his brain forever.

Ossivia sensitively sensed Hoffa's reluctance, and asked softly, "What's the matter, why are you looking at me like this, you weren't so sad when you were separated at the station." ”

"Nothing. Senpai, I'd love to read the letter you wrote to me. ”

Hoffa said, "I don't want to lose them. ”

Ossivia pursed her lips and subconsciously opened her arms, wanting to hug Hoffa, but at the thought of something, she put her arms down again. whispered and blamed: "If you lose it, you will lose it, and it's not that you can't write, as long as people are still alive, aren't you able to write as many letters as you want?"

"yes. ”

Hoffa put away his momentary loss of control, he stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the deep water in front of him, "How long do we have left?"

"It's almost there. ”

Ossivia said.

After about ten minutes, the boat came to a cliff deep in the seabed, which was supposed to be the location of the continental shelf, and there was no end in sight.

Ossivia didn't stop here, her wand tapping lightly on the back of her hand. Pressing lightly on the cliff, accompanied by a faint magical light, the boat ghostly passed through the cliff and entered the interior of the cliff, which was an underground river full of stalactites.

Eventually, the boat came to a halt in a vast underground space.

Ossivia waved his wand, and a cold blue-and-white light flew into the middle of the underground space and stopped.

Looking at the extremely cold blue and white light in front of him, Hoffa couldn't help but gasp.

In this subterranean space, this giant snake creature lurks. Its body was nearly 100 meters long, hanging upside down from a high dome, its head coiled up on the ground. It has not just one head, but three giant king cobra-like heads.

However, this is not the most terrifying thing that makes Hoffa, what makes Hoffa even more terrifying is that he has seen this three-headed serpent.

In Genoa's illusion, he and Miller's merger once killed a three-headed serpent, but it was in the illusion after all. Unexpectedly, at this moment, he actually saw this huge three-headed giant snake in reality.

However, unlike in the illusion, the serpent just lay quietly in the pit, motionless, its tail hanging from the high dome like a giant stone pillar. And its body also emitted the luster of stone under the cold flames around it, and there were many tiny cracks all over it.

"It's the lower level of Durmstrang School, and very few people have been there in the past. Ossivia said. ”

"What is this??"

Hoffa pointed to the three-headed serpent in the middle of the pit.

"This is the former body of the living spirit, and after its death, people built Durmstrang on his body, on the one hand, to guard this monster for eternity, not to let it reawaken, and on the other hand, to use its remaining magic power to protect the magic school, after all, Durmstrang is located in the far north, and it is inevitably subject to many unknown infestations. Ossivia said.

Hoffa didn't have anything to do, but when he saw this big snake that was exactly the same as the one in the illusion, the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.

"Really, is it really going to happen?"

"It's never changed since it was born. I'll check it out every other week as well, and trust me, I value it more than anyone else in this world. "If it hasn't had an accident in the past, there's no reason for it to have an accident in the future." ”

As she spoke, she even reached out and touched the giant snake's massive head, which was motionless like a stone sculpture. Hoffa couldn't help but put his palm on it, feeling the stone touch and lifelessness coming from his palm, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

Could it really be that he was overthinking?

"As long as the Living Spirit Trap is fine, plus you and me, as long as Sylby dares to come over this time, we will definitely let him come back. Ossivia swore by Hoffa's side.

It did seem to be safe, but what was the vague uneasiness about?

"Are you sure no one else has been here?"

He asked.

"Of course, what am I lying to you about? Of course, you're an exception, Hoffa, and I think if it were you, Durmstrang would have opened the door to you as long as I was around. ”

Hoffa's heart warmed slightly, but the heavy uneasiness still did not disappear.

He was thinking, thinking about what was missing.

"But you reminded me. ”

Ossivia said suddenly, "Before, a Hogwarts student came to me, still in the same house as me, and asked me if Durmstrang had any ancient secrets. But, anyway, although I am a Slytherin graduate, I am not a very fond of the kind of person who has strong desires. ”

"Huh?"

"In him, I can only feel cold calculations and boiling lust. So it's a pity that he didn't get anything. ”

When important information appears so casually, it almost catches people off guard.

The simple words made all the everyday moments disappear suddenly, and all the warmth was shattered by a punch in an instant, revealing the cold fangs hidden behind it, and Hoffa turned his head mechanically.

"Tom Riddle has been to Durmstrang?"

"Oh, you know him, too, I forgot you were the same term. Ossivia said nonchalantly, "He did." ”

"When did he come?"

"It was probably your fifth year summer vacation, oh sorry, I forgot you left Hogwarts halfway through, anyway, if you didn't leave Hogwarts, it was fifth year summer vacation. ”

"What is he doing here?"

"Slytherin House and Durmstrang have a lot of exchanges, just like I was swapped in the past, he and a group of exchange students came to visit, but I didn't like him very much, although Slytherin did have to calculate a bit to say it, he somehow managed to do it, and one day he saw the scepter in Principal Urigin's hand and suddenly asked to see it. He even asked me if Durmstrang had any ancient secrets.

It makes me very uncomfortable, Hoffa, very, very uncomfortable. Although I was only a guest lecturer at Durmstrang at the time, I reprimanded him and removed him from the exchange list and sent him back to Hogwarts. ”

Ossivia said naturally, as if she were pulling a family routine, complaining about Riddle's conduct.

But Hoffa's shivers could not be stopped, Ossivia did not understand the student of the Snake Academy, nor did he know what Tom Riddle was looking for, if Tom Riddle also saw the scepter and coveted it, then he was destined to have only one thought.

"He didn't touch the scepter. ”

"Of course, I'm sure I won't let him touch it. That's it."

"Forget it," Ossivia shook his head, "Actually, I can understand his thoughts, after all, that scepter was once "

"Owned by Salazar Slytherin. ”

Hoffa muttered, his heart already plummeting.

Now, he'd rather Tom Riddle had touched that scepter.

"Huh, how do you know?"

Ossivia looked at Hoffa in surprise: "You are very knowledgeable. ”

Ossivia was complimenting Hoffa, but Hoffa's body could no longer hold back the trembling. Great fear and uneasiness enveloped him almost completely in this moment, and at this moment, it was as if he had seen Fatil silently kneeling in front of him again, and seeing Hogwarts in the sky.

Living Spirits, Dark Magic, Salazar Slytherin's Scepter, Three-Headed Serpent.

Oh, and of course, the Slytherin curse.

"Senpai, isn't it, if you want to control the living spirits, you have to use that scepter?"

Ossivia turned her head, a little embarrassed: "Well, I don't want to admit it, but it's true." ”

"That one, that scepter, where is it now?"

Hoffa said with a shudder.

"What, Hoffa. Don't embarrass me!"

Ossivia stamped her feet.

"No, in the hands of your effeminate husband, right?"

Hoffa said in fear.

Ossivia let out a long sigh, and she waved her hand irritably: "I know that Vladimir is not very successful, but after all, he is not married yet, he is not my husband, I am not the official principal, and naturally I can't hold his father's scepter all the time." ”

Hoffa looked at Ossivia blankly, his face as pale as paper.

"What's wrong with you? ”

"Senior sister, have you ever wondered what a living spirit is?"

"What is it? It's always been in Durmstrang, maybe some ancient protector. ”

"Do you know how to protect the gods of the dark arts? ”

"Magic is just magic, it's just who uses it. Your Transfiguration can kill people. Ossivia said, "What happened to you, Hofa, the way you lost your soul?"

Hoffa showed an expression that was more ugly than crying: "Senior sister, go back, take me back quickly"

"Huh??"

"If I'm not mistaken, your scepter could be a Horcrux."
