Good and evil, power and wealth, strength and eternal life...... In fact, all of these things have been intertwined in Helbo's life, one after another.

None of them, however, are of Helpo's obsession.

For goodness, he once received the careful guidance of his apprentices, and he also buried Kern's teacher with his own hands; For evil, he even slaughtered the city bloodily, and countless lives were lost in his hands. For power, he once served as a lord of a land, and there were not a few dependents under his rule; For the sake of money, he almost never lacked anything after becoming a wizard.

And even if he wasn't very talented, after finding the Devouring Mirror and researching how to make Horcruxes, he had plenty of time to splurge on it. Thousands of years of life is that a giant monster can become a wizard, let alone a human?

After a long time, his small wishes when he was young and before he became a wizard have actually been overfulfilled.

But there is only one goal, and the longer his life is, the more distant it becomes.

Yes, Helpo, of course, did not give up. Ever since he stumbled upon a trip to South Africa and found the mirror at a secret magical research site in Kern, he has been following the clues to explore the mysteries of the source of those calamities.

Gradually, he learned that there should theoretically be seven similar magical objects in this world; He also knew that Kern might have studied the rules of the soul too deeply and eventually fell into the "abyss" as Andros said; He even deduced from the memories of the last time he saw Kern that it might be related to the demon summoning technique of the ancient times.

However, it had been so long since Kern's disappearance that no one remembered the goddess of death who had been in the history of magic for a moment, so long that even he had become history.

The horror of the rules of time is here—it makes anything that ever happens fade, decay, and fade into nothingness.

To this day, Helmau is still persistently pursuing his former goal. But in fact, the memories of Kern's appearance in his mind had long since become blurred.

His persistence has become a symbol, tying him around his neck and leading him forward.

"Here we go...... Here we go...... Hahahaha...... It's finally getting started! ”

Deep in the main hall of Buckingham Palace, Helmbo slammed up from his throne and threw up his head and laughed wildly. But the more he laughed, the more he felt that his laughter was empty and uninteresting.

In a short time, he stopped laughing that seemed meaningless, and appeared outside the temple in a flash, turning his gaze to the north.

McKellen ...... Finally turned it on. ”

According to Helbo's research over the past two thousand years, he found that the end of the road that Kern took back then should be here.

"That's right, that night...... That's what I felt! ”

As he said this, he found that his body was trembling slightly with excitement, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Kern, I'm ready for this day, and now...... I'm coming! ”

Before he could finish speaking, Helbo disappeared silently.

……

"Huh? Those guys out there seem to have stopped? ”

Sarah, who had been hiding in a small room in the town, suddenly felt the riot of the living corpses in the outside world gradually stop, and the strength of the attacks she had endured through the protection she had built through the refining array began to decrease significantly.

After hesitating for a moment, she gently opened the door with the remaining dozen or so alchemy dolls and glanced outside.

Indeed, Sarah soon discovered that the desire to attack the living corpses, who had been extremely manic, was significantly reduced. Even perhaps because the long riot had consumed too much of their strength, and now they had become sluggish.

"Anyway, let's go back to Winchester first!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out her broomstick and flew straight back, letting the dozen or so dolls run wildly on the ground, chasing after her from a distance.

Moments later, Sarah, who had returned to the old city, saw that Safina and the others had begun to put the finishing touches on the emergency resistance.

"You're back?" Catching a glimpse of Sarah flying from afar, Safina, covered in black flames, casually said while directing her men to clean up the living corpses, "It seems that you are quite lucky, at least the people are okay." ”

"I think so."

Sarah sat on her broom and giggled, without a word of rebuttal, and waved at Safina before heading to the church.

Safina turned her head to look at her departing back, and couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

"I just went out and experienced a riot, how did it seem like a different person? Strange guys. ”

"Maybe she's figured something important," said Hermione, who flew in from not far away, "a bit like when I used to be in school, when I solved a puzzle, I had a sense of enlightenment." ”

"Sorry, I didn't go to school." Safina said angrily, and then turned to say, "By the way, what did you say about Lovegood?" Are you awake? Hohenheim is already in now! ”

"Oh!"

Hermione reacted after she mentioned this.

"I almost made these living corpses forget...... Then I'll go back first, and I'll come out to help you later. ”

"No," Safina said, waving her hand, "I'll be enough alone." ”

With that, she leaned down and rushed towards the group of living corpses below that were still trapped in the gap in the wall, and a large black flame spread out with her hand. When Hermione saw this, she couldn't help but purse her lips, secretly exclaiming in her heart.

Now Safina's strength is really making people sigh every time they watch it.

However, now that the rebellion of the living corpses had stopped, the pressure on the defenses on the ancient city had been drastically reduced, and it was indeed enough to have Safina here.

Hermione shook her head, and soon did as she had said, turning her broom and flying in the direction of the church.

A few minutes later, as she entered the chapel and passed the atrium, she realized that Ron, who had been waiting here, was gone. She realized that most of the people had already told Sarah, who had just returned, about Luna, and that they had all gone to Luna's room.

Thinking of this, Hermione walked quickly down the hallway, heading deeper.

“…… What the? Lovegood: Did she take in the living corpse? What the hell is going on? ”

Before she could reach the door of Luna's room, she heard Sarah's surprised voice from inside.
