Chapter 1204: The Hogwarts Man
Hearing Rudolphus's scolding, several spell breakers on the high platform who were taking care of their crippled colleagues trembled, and did not dare to delay any longer and jumped down the high platform, and under their wands, the Dementors in front of the door were all scattered and disintegrated, and the rotting cloaks on their bodies fell to the ground.
Several people began to use the spell to cast on the door, but after constantly changing the spells of several factions, the door still did not move at all and did not react, and turned to peek at Voldemort on the high platform, just opposite to Voldemort's sharp and hideous gaze, the cold sweat on the head of the spell solver suddenly broke out, just like the inhuman gaze was really lethal.
In a panic, the spell solver was more impatient and opened the door to the door of the Alaho Cave, but there was no response, and he was ruthless in his heart: "Open the door with sesame!"
This is an ancient lockpicking spell before the invention of the Alaho Cave, it is not as subtle as the Alaho Cave, the effect is to tear the door off the hinge directly, all split into wood or neat pieces, but because the movement is too loud to be liked by wizards and thieves, it is gradually eliminated - but in terms of effect, it is far more powerful than the 'portal opening' that only shatters the door lock and leaves a smoking hole, and the latest Alaho Cave only opens the door lock.
However, it is precisely because the sesame open door is not as gentle as the previous spell solving, full of aggression, this spell was arranged with an unknown magical power as an attack, triggering the counterattack condition, but in an instant, the sesame open door spell was absorbed by the stone gate and twisted and reversed, hitting its original spellcaster spell solver, this guy was instantly released by himself and torn into small pieces by the lock-picking spell and collapsed in place, mixed with blood - these flesh and blood also began to flow along the lines on the ground towards the altar.
When the rest of the spell breakers saw this scene, they trembled and seemed to be unable to support themselves, and the most unbearable one even sat on the ground.
"Get out of the way!" Voldemort scolded coldly, his eyes flashing with uncontrollable rage, and he simply floated from the high platform to the door, raising his wand to the door.
For a while, the Dark Lord's spell unwinding movement was much greater than that of the spell breakers just now, and all kinds of spells he knew were hit on the door, and the counterattack created by this door had no effect on Voldemort, who was prepared, and it was not enough to hurt him.
However, Voldemort's spell did not work on the stone door either, and at last there was a boom, and a thunderbolt exploded into the door, and a lot of dust fell, but the door still stood under such violent attacks, firmly guarding the room behind the door.
The frightened spellbreakers watched Voldemort with trepidation, lest the Dark Lord, who could not open the door, kill him. Lucius and Alecto also lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound to anger the Dark Lord who was anxious at this time.
"The hosts... I'm worried that this stone door and wall don't just have an anti-lock spell or something... If it is forced to open, it will also set up a self-destruct setting..."Rudolphus watched as the Dark Lord's gaze shifted from the door to the stone wall next to it, and he had to warn him that if there was any damage, the responsibility and the Dark Lord's wrath would fall on them and the digging team.
With a cold snort, Voldemort's withered fingers twirled his wand, and he swerved to the high altar, scrutinizing with his snake-like eyes, which were still intact.
The black altar is a circular building surrounded by an Ionic colonnade on the upper floor, and a pedestal about seven meters high under the colonnade. The upper part of the pedestal is carved with a huge high-relief wall band, connected by carved stone slabs about three meters wide.
The relief ribbon depicts kneeling on this high altar a number of wand-widling men with a severed hand and a gouged out eye, their expressions pained and their mouths wide open as if to wail. On the altar, the severed hands and feet, and the eyes that had fallen to the ground were scattered everywhere, and the blood that flowed from their bodies was collected on the mark in the middle of the altar, and the door at the end of the room was opened.
The relief as a whole is full of dynamic images and fierce tension, and the whole sacrificial scene is portrayed extremely realistically...... Underneath the reliefs were carved indecipherable runes, and Voldemort moved closer, trying to discern the meaning.
After a long time, the Dark Lord hissed dangerously, "Sacrifice, this time it's not those dirty Muggles, you have to have magic, you want wizards." ”
Since the implementation of Penelope's new curriculum at Hogwarts, when the professors and teaching assistants walked into the classroom, the whole classroom has been silent, and unlike the previous kind of just keeping quiet, no one is giving orders to the young wizards, but they are still engrossed in looking straight ahead, maintaining the sitting posture that Penelope emphasized and trained in the previous class.
Whether it was for them to begin to form groups with each other, with the good ones helping the poor ones, and making them stand up and look at each other often, the little wizards went from laughing embarrassedly to looking at each other at the end with firm eyes, and the wizards stood and stood still until they were in unison, and the footsteps squirmed at first, and slowly became more and more neat, and finally became sonorous and powerful, and the earth shook the mountains.
This is the power of the collective, and the change in this makes the little wizards, who originally felt just a little shy and playful or bored, under the effect of discipline and unity, inexplicably give them a greater sense of sacredness and power, and at Penelope's request, they are more enthusiastic and active in expressing themselves.
When greeting each other, Penelope emphasized that it should be different from before, and she asked that in her class, in addition to asking for a report when talking to the teaching assistants and professors, the students themselves usually need to perform a strict wizarding salute when saying hello or when leaving and leaving class, and shout "Hogwarts" more afterwards, so as to show that they are Hogwarts people and enhance the sense of honor of the group.
And this change also affected the performance of these young wizards in the subjects taught by other professors, and in the case of seeing their classmates as a whole, the most timid Ravenclaw in the class, or the most noisy Gryffindor, or Neville, a student with a less brilliant head, also began to try to express himself enthusiastically.
In the past few days, this method has swept the whole of Hogwarts, and with the help of the TV station under the direction of Owen, and the fact that Hogwarts students can easily see their parents and go out during the semester, this new way of greeting each other has begun to radiate from an upper class within the school to the entire floating city.
The previous sanctions and trade embargo issues were resolved, the material problems were resolved after working with Muggles, new stable jobs were obtained, and the quality of life improved by the rapid production of various new products, coupled with the heavy-handed methods used by Hogwarts to resolve these disputes, there was a sense of pride in the hearts of these wizards living in the Floating City, and now this etiquette that could distinguish between Hogwarts and non-Hogwarts people gave them a catharsis to distinguish themselves from ordinary wizards living on the surface。
And especially in the last few days, after the outbreak of a large-scale disappearance of wizards in central and eastern Europe, it has almost reached a climax - unlike the previous disappearances of Muggles, the mysterious man makes ordinary wizards not know what he is crazy about this time, and directly puts the means on the wizards themselves, like many families in Germany have found that their friends and distant relatives have more or less missing people when the matter of the previous Gringotts savings robbery has not been resolved.
The new wave of immigration caused by this is much larger than the scale caused by the previous events, and many European wizards have begun to lose confidence in the control of the wizarding world by their own Ministry of Magic, and after the security of their wealth is not guaranteed, they now find that their Ministry of Magic can no longer maintain their basic safety, which makes many wizards choose to live in the wizarding world in Western Europe such as Hogwarts, which is introducing many policies that are conducive to immigration, or France, which is protected by Hogwarts- Even if they could realize that the British wizarding world was essentially preying on the population of the wizarding world, as long as their personal lives and property could be safeguarded, these ordinary class wizards lacked the determination to confront Harris like those ruling classes in their country and chose to obey.
And these immigrants in order to quickly integrate into the Floating City, this kind of emphasis on Hogwarts and weaken the concept and understanding of the British wizarding world has also been accepted by them, just like Alan before that he does not care about blood, not pure-blooded Muggle origin but whether he is a wizard himself, no matter what country these immigrants originally from, many of them began to call themselves Hogwartsians, and they began to make some claims, thinking that it doesn't matter which country you come from, what matters is which country you live in now.
