Chapter Forty-Eight: A String of Clues (Part II)
"Daphine, ...... you say" Hermione suddenly thought, "Could it be that the man found the altar before, and then the altar disappeared?" ”
Hermione's words made Daphine stunned for a moment, and then thought it was very possible! As we all know, the normal growth of a wizard's magic power increases with age in the early stage. The real fastest growth is after the age of 30! He is as talented as Grindelwald, and he became the Dark Lord after the age of forty! But Voldemort was only in his early thirties and had a posture that was rampant in the world. Why?
At this point, it seems that he found the Slytherin altar, and thus gained unparalleled magical powers, which makes perfect sense!
"Your analysis is very reasonable, so it seems that the Big Four each built an altar to help their heirs! The Slytherin Altar made the ...... Mystery Man! The altar of Ravenclaw was supposed to make Autumn, but because that force was too strong, Autumn couldn't bear it alone! So when Harry tried to pull her in the past, he took it along! ”
The more they thought about it, the more it made sense.
"Then there are the Gryffindor Altars in the Forbidden Forest and the Hufflepuff Altars in the Black Lagoon! Very good! It's really tomorrow this time, and tomorrow we're going to try our luck and see if we can get something. ”
"Are you going to call Harry?" Hermione asked.
Daphany thought for a moment, but nodded and said, "Call it, although I don't think it means much, Harry has already carried the gift of the altar of Ravenclaw, I don't think it's possible to accept anything else!" But it doesn't hurt to try~"
The next morning, the Gryffindor trio and the Slytherin fours secretly exchanged news, and for the whole day, the classes of the few were all absent-minded. After dinner, the seven of them, Harry, who hadn't even called Autumn, got together.
"Which one shall we go to first?" Draco couldn't be excited! As a Slytherin, the thirst for strength was extremely strong, and Draco couldn't suppress his excitement when he heard that it was possible to get Harry and Autumn to get that kind of wonderful knowledge, and this knowledge could also be the source of Voldemort's strength.
"Let's go to the Black Lake first!" Daphne had already thought about it: "It's too troublesome for the centaurs, they're too shafted!" In comparison, I think fish-people may be a little easier to touch. ”
"Fish-people are easy to contact? Not necessarily, right? Ron was skeptical of that claim.
"To put it simply, I think the fish-people might be a little easier to deal with!" Daphany put it bluntly. The other six people suddenly expressed their approval.
Centaurs are magically attacking! And it's quite powerful! This was something Harry and Draco had seen both in their first year. The centaur named Ferenze could even fight off Quirrell who was possessed by Voldemort. In contrast, the fish-people don't seem to have heard of a strong fighting power.
All seven of them can already master the human transformation technique, so it is not difficult to go down to the Black Lake. Daphany is even more powerful, not only is she capable of human transfiguration, but she has also learned magic similar to the Nagudeinafer swordfish water barrier. This was learned from Jacob when he was in Ilvermoni, and after Jacob first saw Horton and Shen Yalan's swordfish water barrier, he communicated with his superiors, and then got the use of this magic, and then was relieved by Daphany using some of Hermione's small information - betraying her friends for magic, Daphany didn't feel any sense of indebtedness.
When the seven people left the castle, they became eight people, and by coincidence, they met Qiu Zhang on the way.
Harry didn't take any position in front of Autumn, and when Autumn asked them what they were doing, he told them the truth. Of course, no one else meant to stop him. Although Autumn was already very satisfied with the Ravenclaw inheritance and didn't think about Slytherin anymore, he still asked to go with him, just to see the excitement!
The other seven people are naturally indispensable, and Daphany is secretly glad that Lavender didn't come with him today~
Eight of them came to the Black Lake, seven transformed into public aquatic animals, and Daphany opened the water barrier and swam towards the middle of the Black Lake.
There were three large sharks among the seven people, and all the small water monsters under the water retreated. I didn't encounter a giant squid, so I came to the mermaid's underwater village without any danger.
As soon as they approached, a dozen fish-men immediately approached, most of them holding stone spears and forks in their hands, and their hideous faces glared at the group of uninvited guests.
Hermione and the others all returned to their human forms and added bubble charms to themselves.
"This is the territory of the fishmen, wizards are not welcome!" A leading fish-man yelled at the eight in outlandish language.
"We don't mean to offend, we just want to pay a visit to that altar in your territory!" Only Daphany could speak, so she said with a grin, although her words were polite, but her attitude obviously didn't take a few fishmen seriously.
"This is the territory of the fishmen, wizards are not welcome!" The fish-man didn't even change his tone, and repeated it again.
"Then I'm sorry, all petrified!" Daphany didn't mean to spit too much, and with a wave of her wand, more than a dozen fish-men were all turned to stone.
Since they were still on the outskirts of the village, the fishmen were patrolling outside the village. In addition, Daphany is quick enough to move, and there is not much movement. It wasn't even noticed by the other fishmen in the village! Ninety-six flavors
However, in order to avoid a big battle with the entire fish-man tribe, Daphany still made everyone invisible.
Because the fish-people have outside inspectors, and there have been no outsiders in these years, the vigilance of the fish-people in the village is very low! To say that although the eight people are invisible, their actions in the water will still bring water waves. But the fishmen didn't even pay attention.
The eight of them came to the altar without any danger.
Daphany showed off her magic, and a bubble opened silently, and then the water inside slowly sent out. A moment later, a huge bubble was created that enveloped the entire altar! Daphany removed the water barrier and smiled at the others. Seeing this, others also tried to remove the blister charm. Sure enough, I found that I could breathe freely here.
"Daphany, what if the fishmen go to the academy to file a complaint?" As soon as communication resumed, Hermione immediately asked with some concern.
"it, who do they know about us? In our opinion, the fish-people are almost open, and in the eyes of the fish-people, there is no difference between us! And now Hogwarts is in charge of Umlich, and I'm afraid that thing doesn't have as good an attitude towards subhumans as Dumbledore! Daphany said nonchalantly.
The others thought about it and thought that what Daphany had said made sense. Judging from Umlich's past performance, even Muggle-born wizards she faintly looks down on, and even more scorns creatures such as Centaurs and Werewolves, not to mention Fishmen! Thinking of this, he stopped worrying and began to observe the altar.
Daphany was the only one in the group who saw what appeared to be a Hufflepuff altar for the first time. It was indeed a bit similar to the centaur altar in the Forbidden Forest that was suspected to be Gryffindor, and it was indeed a bit similar to the one she had seen! The altar is round, but upon closer inspection, it looks as if it is trying to rub away the edges and corners of the hexagon. However, the altar was covered with algae, but it was not clear if there were still so many inscriptions on it.
Arriving at the altar, Daphany took a closer look and found out. Although there are eight statues on the altar, the ones on the side seem to be a little different from the two in the center, and the colors are a little different! It may have been added later!
Daphany spoke her mind, and the others observed and agreed. In this way, this altar is roughly similar to the one that Daphany has seen and Harry and Cho have seen!
"Autumn, what did you do when you went to the altar?" Daphany asked.
"I don't remember~" Qiu shook his head embarrassedly, "I was in a daze." When he came to his senses, he was already outside that room with Harry! ”
The group had no choice but to look at Harry. Harry thought for a moment, then looked at what appeared to be a Hufflepuff statue.
By this time, several people had almost determined that it was a statue of Helga Hufflepuff, holding a large stone book in one hand and a small cup in the other. It resembles the legendary Hufflepuff Gold Cup - well, in fact, there is no need for legends, Daphany has seen the real thing, and it is seven or eight points similar!
"Autumn was going to touch that book, well, the book in Ravenclaw's arms!" Harry said.
"Then I'll try!" Dracosa ran to the statue of Helga Hufflepuff, rushed closer, and clawed at the book.
And then......
Nothing happened......
Draco looked back at the other seven with disdain, a little embarrassed, "I'm just going to try it for everyone......"
"It seems that Draco you weren't chosen~" Daphany pouted: "Let's try it for everyone else!" ”
Everyone, including Daphany, tried, but nothing worked.
"Do you think it's our problem, or is it the statue's problem?" Hermione asked, she had already begun to analyze the problem.
"I think it's our problem." Daphne shrugged, "We don't have a single Hufflepuff here!" ”
"Shall we try a Hufflepuff then?" Qiu asked suspiciously.
"Who are you looking for?" Ron asked with a bitter face, he didn't seem very happy that he hadn't been able to get the wonderful powers. Draco's expression was the same as his!
"How about Cedric, no matter what, so can McMillan or Susan Burns. Or simply Hadwell~" Harry glanced at Pansy as he spoke of Hadwell, as it was her cousin. Pansy responded with a good-natured smile. Then Harry pouted: "It can't be Zacharis!" "Zacharis was also a member, but Daphany was fine when he returned, and before that he used to talk in a weird way, and Harry didn't like him. It's not even him, I'd rather be a member of the outside.
Cedric...... I think there's a good chance of success! Daphany thought for a moment and said, "Let's try him first!" ”
