Chapter 738: Hard Head or Hard Monument
On the same day, almost all the two Dark Lords who came together "forgot" their bodies to Hogwarts, and that's no joke!
The more wizards understand what this means, the more they will be afraid of Hogwarts today. Even if everyone knows that Albus Dumbledore, who was respected by the world at the beginning, can now only look at his remains through the ice coffin by the lake.
And this old witch in Africa is also the one who understands the true meaning of the name "Dark Lord".
Especially the first generation of the Dark Lord Gellert Greenwald, thinking that when the genius Dark Wizard was still in the European wizarding world, she was just an ordinary young witch who had just been sent from Africa to Italy to exchange magic.
So, this time when she came to Hogwarts, the old witch never underestimated anyone.
After vaguely confirming the strength of Maca's soul at first, even though she knew that Dumbledore was dead, she almost gave up her plan to forcibly take old Edward.
Even now, looking at the old butler standing alone next to her for the time being, she was still hesitating......
Just as Maca won the right to hold the alchemy event for Hogwarts this time, he wanted to take this opportunity to announce to the global wizarding community:
Although Hogwarts has said goodbye to Albus Dumbledore, it still has enough strength...... No, maybe even more robust than the previous walk!
And today, the old witch will inevitably have to face this fact before she chooses to do it.
The night air was a little cooler, and the front courtyard of Hogwarts was as strong as ever, rustling the branches and leaves of the Forbidden Forest.
But in such a calming environment, there is a pair of brothers with giant blood who are chattering crookedly, and a terrifyingly twisted alchemy synthetic beast body.
The movement and stillness of these two stirred the old witch's nerves every second.
She knew that if she had to do it, this would probably be the last chance - there wasn't much time left for her to hesitate any longer.
If she wants to win that chance of eternal life, her old bones must be desperate here!
“…… Philosopher's Stone! ”
At the next moment when the old witch made up her mind, as the skeletal cane in her hand slammed to the ground, a whole shadow of a nearby tree suddenly stretched forward.
It was a real "shadow", and nothing else, the shadow of a large tree formed by the moonlight at this moment.
Under the old witch's intently chanting incantation in the language of an African tribe, the shadow seemed to be given life, not only winding like a snake, but also extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, it spread to the feet of the old butler, and entangled the soles and ankles of the other man.
"Oh-"
The old butler only had time to exclaim in surprise, and was dragged to the ground directly by the shadow materialized by the magic power, and dragged straight in the direction of the school gate.
At the same time, the old witch also emerged from behind the trunk of the tree, and while Hagrid was still tightly held by Glopp, she stepped on the magic flying carpet that she had just taken out and followed immediately.
All she wants now is speed, and if she forces her way through the school gate and leaves the school confines before Hagrid catches up, that's her victory.
"It's all done, so it must be successful."
In order to no longer worry about the end of her life that is coming at any time, in order to grasp the possibility of continuing life with her own hands, the old witch can be regarded as gambling everything.
After all, she is not like the ignorant clansmen of the tribe, and she has been deeply involved in the European magical world since she was young, and she knows very well that today's operation will bring her disaster that cannot be ignored.
The flight over the vestibule didn't seem like a long one, and she'd walked it several times in the past few days, and even back and forth just now.
This time, however, the old witch felt as if she had been cast a traceless stretching spell.
In a hurry, she glanced back—fortunately, Hagrid had just broken away from Glopp's embrace, and was still far from her!
On the other side of Hogwarts Castle, the sound must have passed, but it will take more time to rush over immediately.
The situation is good, it is a favorable development for her, and it is almost exactly the same as Shicai expected!
"No problem."
After giving herself a psychological hint, the old witch, who had a little more confidence, manipulated the shadow and lifted the old butler to the flying carpet at her feet.
In this way, the speed of the flying carpet with one more person was obviously reduced, but she also had more room to prepare for breaking through the school gate.
As long as she doesn't have to worry about making a fuss, she still has a lot of confidence if she breaks the defensive spell alone.
Sure enough, as the old witch stood on the flying carpet and raised her skull staff and recited a series of incantations that no one else could understand, a gray-black light flashed from the eye sockets of the skull on her staff.
Like the flying carpet under her feet, which is almost equivalent to a broomstick, some powerful magic in the African wizarding world also has one thing in common with the spells of European wizards—
"Whew-"
Two gray and dim beams of magic shot out from the eye hole of the skull, distorting slightly and irregularly, striking the center of the school gate like lightning.
"Bang!"
The defensive spell on the school gate clearly has a process of resistance, and if someone looks closely, they can even see the gray-black light being continuously bounced away for a short time.
But the old witch did not compromise in the slightest, she held the skull cane in her hand and did not give in, even if her face turned slightly pale, the magic beam was not interrupted for half a minute.
Magic is always in the defender's favor, especially when this instant attack magic is used against solidified defensive spells, where the advantages and disadvantages tend to be significant.
However, when the moment when the two tall metal fence gates were lifted directly out, it still proved that the old witch's hard power was no less than that of Professor Flitwick, who cast the spell.
"Hula-"
The tail of the flying carpet and the cloaks on the old witch's body were hunting in the turbulence of the air current, indicating that they rushed out of the gates of Hogwarts much faster than the old witch had felt.
In the blink of an eye, she had left the large area of the school with the old butler, and was already about to cast her magic and leave with her skull staff in her grip.
However, at that moment, the old witch only felt that it was suddenly dark in front of her.
……
It was just when the old witch stepped on the flying carpet and rushed out of the school gate, Alexander, who was still at the top of the Astronomy Tower, completely took in the dramatic and shocking scene that followed.
He was still deeply anxious about the many changes in the vestibule, only to see a large area of distortion suddenly appear outside the school gate.
It was as if there was a huge invisible palm that crumpled the entire space and then let it go.
And immediately after, a black stone monument that was very present even when seen from the astronomical tower appeared quietly.
Yes, the stele was pitch black, and it was as if most of it had been embedded in the distant wall of heaven under the not-so-bright night sky. Coupled with the fact that it is not inferior to some of the smaller towers of Hogwarts Castle, it is hard not to notice.
"That's ......"
Aside from the strange symbol looming in the center of the black stele, Alexander was hard-pressed to find any other features that contained information. And he couldn't understand any of those symbols, and it was inevitable that he couldn't understand them for a while—what the hell was that?
At the same time that Alexander was shocked and surprised to let out a low breath, the old witch who was riding the flying carpet away from Hogwarts collided almost straight into the front of the stone monument that suddenly appeared in front of him.
The sound of the impact of testing the hardness of the stele with his head could be heard even by Alexander from afar atop the Astronomical Tower.
In the next second, the old witch and the immobile old butler flew upside down with the flying carpet, rolled on the ground several times, and finally stopped again in the school gate.
It wasn't until this moment that the crushed trees that had been crushed when the monument appeared fell to the ground with a messy thud.
"Huh?"
When the sound of the trees falling to the ground had subsided, an inaudible voice sounded at the school gate without warning. Only Hagrid, who hurried to the door, could see that it was the familiar figure who was holding a staff and standing on the side of the road.
"Maca?"
Hagrid saw that he was a reasonable acquaintance, and immediately opened his mouth to call.
Looking at him, he could see that Maca's expression didn't look relaxed at the moment. In particular, Makana's hand holding the staff had a faint tremor caused by excessive force, and the muscles on his body were also tense.
"Speak later, take care of things first—" said Maca, leaning a little her staff, "and, tell the gentleman butler a moment, and ...... Well, this time I worked hard for him. ”
After speaking, he didn't say anything more, just raised his legs and walked slowly in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
Even as he passed by the fallen old witch, he didn't even look at each other, as if it didn't exist for him.
It was only now that Hagrid realized that the black stele was ridiculously large...... It was hanging in the air!
If there was anything more surprising than the appearance of a super-large stone tablet out of thin air, it would be watching it float silently.
At least, Alexander and Anns, who had just run to the backyard of the hunting lodge, were completely shaken by their little hearts.
It's a pity that if they did go to ask Maca, Maca would definitely tell them both - this broken stone tablet is far heavier than it seems!
"When the Sorting Hat mentioned that Slytherin had taken the stele, it was light...... I didn't expect this thing to be so dead......"
