Chapter 264: Respective Progress

"How do you feel, you just suddenly fell off the rope and scared me." Zero spun around the plant's stamen and patted his chest in a frightened look.

Ning An looked at the thick hemp rope placed in his hand, realizing that he had been freed from hanging upside down at some point, looking at the missing strangulation marks and bruises on his wrist, he suddenly thought of a distant voice, "I have a magic that can free me from all contracts and shackles." He nodded, as if he had realized.

"How's it going, do you remember anything?" Zero asked with concern, now that Ning An is her reliance, the stronger Ning An is, the greater the hope in the future, and of course it will be better for her.

"Something to gain."

Ning An nodded and agreed, just now he did get some memories that belonged to Fujin, he believed that the man who appeared repeatedly in his memory should be the former Odin, but the memory is not complete, maybe it is too long, and this is not a complete inheritance, even Zero has lost the memory of the will of the previous generation, and his memory is incomplete.

"Exactly how to do it will have to be tested in the future." Ning An looked at Zero as if he was faintly lost, so he comforted: "But you don't have to worry, there seems to be a lack of memory, but the mana has indeed become much stronger-"

He looked down at his hands, feeling the surging magic in his body, which was indeed very different from before, and even felt like he could use the "Avada Curse" without a wand.

Thinking of the four magic he heard in his memory, Ning An already realized in his heart that he could also use these four magic, this must be Odin's magic, different from the spells he learned in the magic school, these four magic made him feel completely different.

It was a powerful order that bordered on rules, and he believed that if he used it, things would go in the direction dictated by the content of the magic, which was far more powerful than any spell he had ever been exposed to, including the eerie and unpredictable dark arts.

There should be more than four ......, Ning An thought silently in his heart, there must be more than these four magics, and it seems that there will be opportunities to try to find clues in the future to see if he can obtain other Odin magic.

"Are you leaving?" Zero looked at Ning An's eyes a little reluctantly, after all, this was the first visitor to visit the root since she woke up, and the only one who could communicate with her.

"Hmm." Ning An nodded, "I have to go back and prepare, and I have to deal with the future crisis." He lowered his head and clenched his fists, he could feel the constant flow of magic, but it was probably not enough to deal with that unimaginably terrifying planetary monster.

"How do I contact you? Is it necessary to perform such a ceremony? ”

"It doesn't matter what the ritual is, you're the one who arrived here once, I think you can find a way to come back, but you don't need it for now." Zero said a little weakly.

"Oh? Why? Ning An was a little confused.

"I've spent a lot of strength, and I'm afraid I'm going to sleep for a while, so even if you arrive here again, you may only see me sleeping, so I said you don't need to come for the time being."

Ning An nodded in understanding, this time he originally wanted to pursue Odin's magic, and he also received too many goods, including some sensational and terrifying Zhen/xiang, he also needed to sort it out, and if he wanted to master more power to deal with future crises according to his plan with Zero, he would also be very busy.

I thought that there might be a more convenient way to communicate with Zero, after all, this "God of the Earth" who can look down on all beings from the perspective of the "Upper Realm" must be able to provide quite a lot of information, but since there is no way to achieve it for the time being, Ning An can only give up, maybe he can find other ways to get close to the root cause through research after he goes back.

The light and shadow around him began to retreat rapidly, and it took a full second for such a long time, Ning An seemed to see a silky figure of time, slowly flowing beside him, and then everything returned to its original state, it was still the barren grassland, the familiar ash tree, but there was no small figure.

Ning An put back on the shirt he had taken off before, put on his robe, smoothed out the wrinkles on it, took out the ebony wand from his pocket, stroked it a few times, put it away again, and placed it, and then walked towards a wooden door standing on the edge of the barren meadow.

He frowned slightly, biting his lip unconsciously, it didn't look like he had just experienced an unbelievable story, touched the roots of this world, and it was difficult for others to see the great changes in him, but if you let top wizards like Dumbledore or Voldemort observe, they will find some clues.

If in the past, Ning An was just a small whirlpool that attracted people's eyes and eyes, and people would be attracted to him and involved in it, then now, he is more like a trench buried deep in the sea, from the surface, there is no obvious specialness, but the hidden depth under it is by no means comparable to ordinary whirlpools.

"Click" He put his hand on the door knocker, gently pushed outward, the door opened, the door was still a familiar hotel room, the sound of opening the door alarmed Mimere on the side, he seemed to have been staying here, after seeing Ning An come out, his eyes bloomed with anticipation, fanaticism, and joy.

"You...... You're back! Mimir couldn't hide his excitement and shouted in a low voice, Ning An knew that he was just a gatekeeper, and he might not know much about the truth, maybe he only knew that the person who could complete the ritual would become a plausible and untrue information like Odin.

"Hmm." Ning An, who had no intention of explaining more, nodded, looked at Mi Mill, and asked casually, "How long have I been in." ”

"It's been a whole week, master." Mimeer's attitude was very respectful, probably thinking that Ning An had really become Odin.

Ning An was shocked, but he didn't expect that in just a day or so, a week had passed in the real world.

"Is the location here a secret?" He asked calmly.

"Yes, it's more secret than any magic castle in the world, and it's only open to those it willing."

"Well, then you continue to guard this place, and I will use a few more spells to strengthen its concealment, and don't let anyone in during this time."

After Ning An instructed Mimir, he cast a few spells on the hotel, which not only played a hidden role, but also could exert surveillance, and then left the hotel in a hurry, he was a little anxious, it was not a trivial matter to be missing for a week, Pani They must be crazy, and more dangerous was Karkaroff, he came out with him, and finally disappeared himself, in the eyes of Pani and others, he must not be able to get out of it.

He has to hurry back now, thinking of this, Ning An drew his wand, and suddenly a surging magic power surged, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and almost instantly cast a phantom shift.

After two piercing explosions, Ning An disappeared, and the hotel behind him was like ink spots blending into the painting, gradually dimming and transparent, and then disappearing, leaving only the wind and snow whistling in the sky, echoing in the valley.

Not long ago, in a secret classroom in Durmstrang, the atmosphere was a little dreary and gloomy, and Samantha, with her handsome face behind her back, kept pacing back and forth, cursing something in her mouth.

Walter sat in a chair in the corner, the light of the candles in the chamber could not illuminate his figure in its entirety, but only a short, crude, hunched shadow, and he sat there, silent, like a plaster statue, with only the occasional glimpse of Samantha's pacing, proving that he was still alive.

"That's the thing, Kakarov has been secretly imprisoned, and although he has been confirmed to be true by using a truth spit, he is still not allowed to have contact with the outside world for the time being." Pani leaned against the wall under the candle, pushed his glasses, and clearly stated:

"The strength of the Black Serpent's mark has weakened significantly before, and the main task at the moment is to find the master. Looking for the two of you to come here, it is also for this matter, at present, apart from you, I have not disclosed the news to others, and temporarily declare that the master's whereabouts are confidential, but I am afraid that the matter cannot be hidden for a long time, and you are the most trustworthy at the moment. ”

"Did those guys do it? It must be them, right? The hateful Russians? I've said a long time ago that we're too merciful to these guys, Pani! You should let me deal with them, and the master will approve! If you don't clean up these rebellious wild dogs, sooner or later they will become big goods! ”

Pani frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said calmly: "Grasso and Bryn's forces were eliminated as soon as possible under the previous arrangement of the master, and the remnants are even difficult to hide, let alone threaten the master, but the key at the moment is not them, the task of the two of you is to find the master as soon as possible, and there can be no delay for a moment!" ”

"Got it." Walter moved, like a gargoylee shaking off the dust, bounced the fragments of shadow away, and slowly walked under the candlelight, the firelight illuminating his scarred face, and Samantha stopped and turned.

"Is there an approximate range, where are we going to look." Walter spoke hoarsely.

"I have searched through various means to find the last place where the owner lost news, and I have not found the valley that Karkarov mentioned, let alone any hotel, where there is no trace of snow-capped mountains." Parney paused, looking at Walter and Samantha, both of whom were looking at him at the same time.

"Considering the possibility of apparition, and the owner's usual range of activities is basically in Europe, so let's start from the places where he has the most contact, Professor Umbridge of Hogwarts is our person, you go to Hogwarts first to see if you can find any clues, if not, then go to Germany, there is not much time, you must be fast."

Pani carefully admonished, there was no need to say this, Samantha and Walter both looked serious, the master's mark weakened for some reason, this was something they had never encountered, the corners of Samantha's mouth showed a few traces of terrible cruelty, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear:

"Let me find out...... Cause...... Be sure to ...... Kill him...... Diamond Spell ...... Torture him ....... ”

"You use Floo Powder, Umbridge has a private Floo network, and you can go straight to Hogwarts." After Pani finished speaking, the candle flame in the chamber dimmed, and the voices of the three of them faded until silence returned.

——————————————————————————————————

Earlier, Harry had given Professor Aurora Sinista his astronomy answer, which he thought had done well, thanks to the generous amount of homework he had given them, which proved to be a good one. L. exams, but it was also hard to make Harry happy.

Life in fifth year seemed to be stuck in a quagmire all of a sudden, and Harry felt as if his twin/tui was stuck so tightly that he couldn't pull it out, and his life suddenly turned upside down, and even he couldn't recognize the original appearance.

Hogwarts was no longer Dumbledore's school, Umbridge's toad-faced face made Harry want to throw a bag of dung at her every day when he walked around the school, and she had completely turned it into her own little kingdom, and no one except Slytherin and the Durmstrang students who came to communicate with her hated her.

The thought of Slytherin and Durmstrang made Harry even more sad, and his relationship with Hermione seemed to be simmering, and when he watched her spend a lot of time with the students, Harry understood, Draco Malfoy, Daphne Greengrass...... These names, which disgusted him, were with Hermione now, right? What are they doing? Studying for the afternoon exams together?

His heart throbbed again, but Harry was used to it, his face was expressionless, and he quietly descended the changing staircase, having to wait until the evening to have a practical exam in astronomy, which meant that the afternoon was the divination exam that he was not good at.

As expected, even by his low standards of divination, the whole exam was considered a terrible one, with his mind blank when reading the tea leaves, unable to see the images in the divination crystal ball, and confusing the examiners of the Wizarding Examination Authority, whose handprints were a "successful" end to the exam.

"I really shouldn't have taken this class in the first place, and neither do you, Harry, we always fail this one." He walked down the spiral marble staircase with Ron, who looked frustrated, but after a while he found a reason to be happy again

"At least we can get out of this class now."

"yes, don't pretend to care about those things about Jupiter and Uranus." Harry said lightly.

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind him

"I think the arithmetic divination test went well."

"I saw aphids in the crystal ball, and aphids grow on lettuce! What does this must portend! ”

It was Cho Chang and Luna Lovegood of Ravenclaw.

Ron immediately put away his smile and looked at Harry worriedly.

Harry's heart twitched, but his face was still expressionless, and he only quickened his pace, leaving the approaching sound far behind.
