51, the last key
As soon as he squeezed out of the corridor and stood on the solid ice on the surface of the lake, a strong lake demon on the top immediately spotted Hoffa.
It roared loudly.
Hoffa tapped his boots with his wand, conjuring an ice blade under his feet, and then he beckoned to the corridor, "Osivia, come out quickly!"
Ossivia, however, was stuck sideways in the corridor by her roots, an adult, larger than Hoffa.
Hoffa rushed back, his wand turning into a blade to cut the tentacles.
He grabbed Ossivia's arm and dragged her out of the corridor.
At this moment, at the top of the hillside, a large area of lake demons gathered again.
"Let's go!"
Osiva said, a blade sprouting from her feet, pulling Hoffa, and sliding quickly.
The lake demon jumped off the cliff one after another, and the old lake demon at the head was given a wand, and screamed, "Don't let them go back to Hogwarts!"
After saying that, it waved its arms, and the clouds in the entire sky quickly gathered, covering the moon, and the water vapor in it quickly turned into huge ice spears, which shimmered in the dark night sky like crystal stars.
Exceptionally beautiful, but also extremely dangerous.
The sheer level of mana frightened Hoffa, and he looked at the sky. , gritting your teeth. Backhand grabs Ossivia's arm.
"Hold on!"
With that, he turned on the ghost walk and activation state at the same time, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, speeding away at the castle in the distance.
The lake demon on the isolated island waved his arm heavily, and countless ice spears rained densely towards the surface of the lake.
They have started to look small, but in the blink of an eye they have become as big as missiles.
The crackling sound is endless.
Countless ice spears and arrows pierced through the ice layer more than half a meter thick, destroying the solid ice structure, and countless lake demons jumped off the lake. Disappeared into the choppy waters.
In the frenzy, the ice behind Hoffa broke like dominoes, the fractures were very close to him, some were even less than a meter away from him, but he didn't look back, as long as he slowed down for a fraction of a second, he could be swallowed by the icy lake, thus completely losing his combat effectiveness.
Ten seconds later, he exited the ghost walk, and countless lake demons leaped out of the icy water like lightning behind him, and they all cursed and threw all kinds of weapons in their hands.
Hoffa still didn't glance, all he could see was the towering castle in the distance.
The two of them had already thrown the group of lake demons behind them far away.
Slowly, the speed of the pursuing lake demons slowly slowed down. They all stared at each other in amazement, their ice-blue eyes.
Without him, the speed of the young man in front of him seemed to be a little incredible.
Due to inertia and the low friction of the ice surface, the speed of the Hofa ice slip has been nearly eighty kilometers per hour. This caused his whole body to flash from the ice like a phantom.
He instinctively leaned over and lowered the wind resistance. The icy wind blew on his face without any hindrance, giving him the illusion that his entire face had been peeled off by a sharp knife.
Ossivia shouted anxiously behind Hoffa, "It's already out, you slow down." ”
"Hurry up. ”
Hoffa's eyes were firmly fixed on Hogwarts Castle, and his speed under his feet did not slow down in the slightest.
He had to make sure the coin was safe, and if he could, he should put it in a safer place immediately.
The shore of the lake is imminent, and the distance of more than ten kilometers is passing in the blink of an eye, Hoffa let go of his hand, rushed to the shore first, and ran towards the school,
Fortunately, he only used ten seconds of activation state, and the mental consumption was not too great, and he did not enter that terrible state of godless decadence.
When I got back to school and looked at my watch, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Hoffa quickly got up and running, and he made his way through a crowd of noisy paintings, past a crowd of fussing ghosts, back to the Ravenclaw Tower.
The bad news, at the moment, the Ravenclaw tower is still completely banned. There are no stairs to go up and you have to find another way to get your coins.
Good news, it's Christmas night, and several of the teachers guarding the tower have gone to rest, which makes it easy for Hoffa.
He looked up at the towers of his academy that were so tall that he couldn't see the top.
Hoffa took a deep breath and flicked his wand vigorously.
The wand turned into a rope and hooked directly into a raised stone sculpture on the wall, and he tied the long rope around his waist and arms, his nails sharpened.
Click.
He dug his fingers into the crack in the wall and sped upward.
Half a minute later.
Ossivia braked hard and turned the corner. Panting, she came to the bottom of the Ravenclaw Tower, and when she looked up, she was stunned to see that Hoffa was climbing up.
"Where are you going?"
"Go back to the dorm, hurry. ”
"Climb the wall!?"
Ossivia was annoyed.
Hoffa didn't answer, just lengthened the rope and threw it down.
Ossivia looked at the rope dangling in front of him.
"Okay...... Well, it's crazy enough tonight. ”
She whispered annoyed.
Then, she settled down, grabbed the rope, and fastened it around her waist.
In the dark night, the two of them climbed to the top of the Ravenclaw Tower as they did like rock climbers.
As they passed by the paintings, they woke up.
They were all stunned.
"Climbing a wall in the middle of the night?"
"What are you doing?"
"I've been at Hogwarts for six hundred years, six hundred years, and I've never seen such a crazy student as you!"
An old man in an oil painting scolded.
"I bet you've got to be a Gryffindor stinky boy!"
"Don't do that, Charlie, can't Ravenclaw go crazy once in a while?" said the old woman in an oil painting next to her.
With that, she looked up at Hoffa and shouted, "Merry Christmas, child." ”
Hoffa didn't look back: "Good night." ”
However, after all, there were only a few oil paintings that sent blessings, and most of them shouted in annoyance, and the others walked out of the oil paintings in anger, and some even said that they would go to the teacher to punish the two crazy students.
Finally, amid the swearing voices of a group of portraits, Hoffa jumped onto the narrow bridge and walked briskly to the Eagle Ring.
Eagle Ring spreads its wings: "You and I make two into three, and we will never be alone." ”
"Family. ”
Hoffa replied without hesitation.
The corridor opened suddenly.
Hoffa hurried inside, back to the Ravenclaw dormitory tower, where he hadn't been in for two months.
At this moment, the common room was almost completely abandoned, with the night breeze blowing pale blue curtains, yellow seals pulled up everywhere, rubble strewn across the floor, and a statue of Ronay Ravenclaw lying on the ground, covered with scattered books.
It's too late to lament the dilapidated common room.
Hoffa lit his wand and followed the spiral staircase to the dormitory in three steps and two steps.
As soon as he entered the dormitory, he slapped his thigh directly in annoyance.
"Damn, do you want to ...... like this?"
I saw that there was a mess in my dormitory. On the dust of the ground, a row of footprints is as smooth as new.
His backpack, which he used to store his important luggage, was thrown at the door, and his clothes and underwear were thrown to the ground.
There were all gold gallons on the ground, and when he looked along the gold galleons, he saw his cowhide bag beside the bed.
Hoffa bent down and hurriedly picked up the leather bag and opened it to take a look. His face suddenly turned pale, and he reached out and touched it again.
It was discovered that the commemorative coin that Sylby had given him with the Ravenclaw face was long gone.
Although he hurried back to his dormitory as soon as possible, he still couldn't prevent the most feared incident from happening.
Damn it...... Damn it......
Hoffa spun around twice like a headless fly, and then he sat down on the bed, meditating on his mind, and quickly calmed down.
The Centaur King is still at this school, most likely just here.
Three keys, all three keys he had. He was only one step away from opening the library, no, that black coffin.
He leaned over and touched the footprint, his heart beating like a drum.
Osivia had to be found, the other teachers in the school, and Hoffa immediately stood up and strode out.
As soon as the thought came to mind, Hoffa directly threw away the leather bag and walked downstairs to the dormitory.
The moment he turned the corner and entered the common room, he froze on the spot.
In the dark, empty Ravenclaw common room, a blinding red light was silently watching him.
I saw the statue of Ronay Ravenclaw lying on the ground.
A tall man in a suit sat on the head of the Ravenclaw statue with his legs crossed, looking at Hoffa silently at the moment.
He didn't wear that crown this time, but his fingers deftly twirled a coin.
Hoffa's breathing nearly stalled.
How the hell did this guy do it, he was so on time, or did he live in the common room?
Seeing Hoffa coming, the man sitting on the statue lowered his Erlang leg and leaned forward.
"What are you looking for?"
The man whispered, the coin darting at his fingertips.
Hoffa's chest heaved, and it was the first time he had been alone with this guy. He stuck motionless against the wall, and felt the urge to run away directly from the ghost walk, but he stubbornly stopped his thoughts.
"It's a long journey, isn't it?"
He grinned and smiled.
"You...... How, exactly, did that?" asked Hofa hoarsely.
"You don't know the school. He stood up on his knees and pulled a huge revolver from his chest.
"What do you want to do?" Hoffa took a step back.
"It's up to you to find out. ”
He tucked the coin into his chest. Raise the weapon in the right hand.
"Guess what's next?"
After speaking.
Bang!!
The guns opened fire.
The moment the fire is fired.
Hoffa disappears.
The bullet shattered the wall behind Hoffa standing.
The man tilted his head, not surprised.
Rumble!
The door to the lounge was slammed open.
Osivia, who had just climbed the narrow bridge, was jerked by Hoffa's shoulder.
"Where's your Auror!?"
"What?"
"Aurors, hurry up and get them over!"
Osivia's face changed drastically, and Hoffa dragged her directly into the lounge.
Inside, the man was standing on the snowy windowsill at the moment, his hands stretched out into a cross, smiled slightly, fell backwards, and jumped off the tower more than 300 meters high.
"Stop!"
Ossivia roared, broke free of Hoffa's arm, and slammed into the ledge.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
She was responded to by a bullet that grazed her forehead, and the man fired several shots in quick fall.
Hoffa immediately pulled Osivia and hid sideways under the windowsill, covering his head.
The gunfire subsided.
Under the windowsill, a crouching Ossivia looked at Hoffa.
"Are you done?"
Hoffa nodded: "It should be." ”
Ossivia immediately got up and clasped the windowsill tightly, turned back to Hoffa and said decisively, "Hold me." ”
"What?"
Osivia: "Don't talk nonsense, hold me!"
Hoffa hugged Osivia's thin waist.
"Back, go to the back. ”
Hoffa let go of his hand and shifted to the back in confusion, sticking it to her back.
Then, Ossivia jumped and jumped directly after the man from a height of three hundred meters.
