Chapter 15: An Inexplicable Test
The soft light smeared on the floor tiles, which were intricately patterned, and Aitch crouched on the ground, barely able to see the gaps between the tiles under the cover of the dust.
He snapped his fingers, but Hill didn't "snap" as he wished, and it seemed that he had to get out on his own.
"Erwin, put some water here." The whistling water, the smell of the fox's urine is marked here.
"Let's go." Aitch walked through the gap between the tiles. In the dark, it's much better to walk in a directional way than to fumble around.
After walking for about half an hour, Aitch still didn't touch the edge, it seemed that this was a big place.
Well? Aitch suddenly smelled a smell of urine. He is very familiar with Erwin's taste, and it seems that he has turned back to the starting point!
Achillo thought about it for a while, and then he understood: the gaps in the floor tiles were made of hands and feet—as the only sign in the darkness, in fact, the floor tiles were not square, and their edges were inconspicuously curved, and when people thought they had gone far, they actually turned back. If it hadn't been for Aitch to let Erwin pee on the spot, he wouldn't have spotted the horse's feet so quickly.
Knowing the principle of "ghosts hitting the wall", it was easy to come up with a way, and on the next road, Aitch kept leaving marks and correcting the direction, and it took half an hour to touch the wall. It took him another half an hour to reach the door, but it smelled strange.
Aitch didn't think much of it, pushed the door open, and the joy of seeing the light again made Erwin jump on the ground several times.
Looking at the surroundings, it was very familiar, and a soft voice sounded behind him: "You have two more chances." Tell me, who am I? ”
As soon as he turned around, he couldn't help but be angry! It's Ravenclaw knockers again! In other words, it took Aiqi half an hour to know that it was a "ghost hitting the wall" just now, spending half an hour walking to the other side of the "ghost hitting the wall", and then spending half an hour touching it back! Now say: Actually, just need him to push back and try it at the beginning? How can he not feel depressed!
However, depression is depression, it's all this time, and don't expect other Ravenclaws to come and help. You still have to answer the question, otherwise you will have to spend the night outside the door.
Aitch thought that since it wasn't philosophy, it was really a real problem for idiots. "Ravenclaw's Eagle Knocker."
The eagle knocker remained silent and moved out of the way, it was still dark inside, and Aitch smelled the fox urine again.
"Can you not go in?" Aitch was weak, trying to win sympathy.
"No, kid, you have to go in if you answer." This time the knocker replied.
Okay, okay. Even if it's a cut-form.
Aitch waited for another "bang" behind him, and was about to open the door.
Oh my God! This time, it's really close! Then I had to find another door.
Aitch was about to resign himself to his fate, but he reached for a wall he hadn't touched before, and after another hour or so, he found a large source of heat. He approached step by step, and the more he walked, the hotter he felt, and it felt like a big heater.
Erwin suddenly seemed to be frightened, and shrunk into Edge's magic robe, shivering, and even Edge's feeling depressed. He cautiously leaned forward, ready to flee at any moment.
Soon Aitch didn't need the "fluorescent flicker", and a white pillar of light fell from the sky and shone on a huge monster dozens of paces away from him. It has a body similar to that of a cougar, two pairs of huge bat wings, four legs, and a somewhat horse-like head, all golden. It has a long, sinuous tail with spines and barbs at the ends, and huge claws at the ends of each leg.
There are dragons!
How can there be dragons in Hogwarts!
It's still a golden dragon!
Merlin! Is this going to kill me? Aitch couldn't help but whip Dumbledore and them hundreds of times, and said that it was the safest in the world? Why don't you even know the dragon under your nose! Unseen!
It turned its head, and a pair of turquoise vertical pupils stared at Edge, making him swallow his saliva.
Erwin was hiding in Edge's clothes and pretending to be dead, and the big belly made him look like a pregnant woman.
"Hey, man. I said, I said to go back to the dormitory, I went the wrong way, do you believe it, big guy? Aitch tried to calm himself down.
The golden dragon's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth and roared! ——
Aiqi didn't care about this matter, Long Wei or Long Breath, and quickly rolled to the side, touching his body, fortunately, there were no missing parts. I can't help but secretly rejoice, if I say it, it is estimated that it will be the "Daily Prophet", as the most authoritative newspaper in the wizarding world, it will definitely go down in history as the death of a first-year Hogwarts student who escaped from the hands of the golden dragon.
Aitch was still thinking about it: this was something Merlin couldn't do......
Huh? Wrong!
Aitch is still a little self-aware, if he wants to say that he is the best student at Hogwarts in a thousand years, he can still accept it calmly, but he is more powerful than Merlin, and the guy who can survive from the golden dragon at the age of twelve will definitely not be him.
Edge's eyes when he looked at the golden dragon lost his original timidity, this guy can't be a parallel import! However, according to the previous "ghost hitting the wall" routine of the eagle door knocker, it is really unbelievable.
Aitch gambled. He pointed at the golden dragon and recited a spell that must not be recited, "Funny funny! "Generally speaking, this is used against the Boggart, but it is undoubtedly a provocation for a race like the Dragons who value dignity. But if the dragon is really fake, the only thing Aitch can think of in Hogwarts to look so similar is Boggart.
His wand glowed red, and the golden dragon was magically enchanted and turned into a lizard, lying in front of a door! And Aitch smelled the fox's urine again.
This girl is really a boggart!
"This eagle knocker is deliberately playing with me." Aitch was played with anger, and Boggart was the one who was most afraid of people to scare people, but Aitch had only seen it in books, and such a realistic guy must have been the ghost of the Eagle Knocker, and he almost didn't scare him.
"One last chance, tell me, who am I?" The soft voice of the eagle knocker rang out again.
"And there's more! Is this game still interesting? Aitch sat aggrievedly on the ground for two or three hours in a row, and he didn't sleep and played some games!
Aitch had to calm down.
"One last chance, tell me, who am I?" The eagle knocker doesn't seem to be intended to give people a break.
"Ravenclaw." Aitch felt that the last chance was neither philosophical nor realistic, so he came to an abstract one and gave a plausible answer. You can't say he's wrong, after all, the Eagle knocker is also Ravenclaw's.
The door opened again, and this time there was no need to say anything, and Aitch walked in after resting, because this time it was not like the last two times, and the light that fell from the sky paved a path on the ground to guide Aitch forward.
This time, it took much shorter than the previous two times, and in fifteen minutes, I reached the end of the "road".
"Boom-" Aitch felt his skull explode, and his eyes were white and dizzy, as if he had been hit by his own "like the sun".
When he came back to his senses, his vision returned to normal, and the whole room, nay, the lobby, brightened up. Aitch was standing in the middle of the hall, the open floor was covered with fine tiles, and there was a huge oil painting on each of the four walls, but three of the four paintings were empty, like landscapes, all of them were set against the backdrop of Hogwarts, and only one was facing Aitch, and there were four people inside, all of whom had never been seen in the castle.
Looking at the four people on the painting, Aiqi suddenly felt blessed, wouldn't he have really hit the blind just now!
The four paintings of Hogwarts are clearly "immature", and one of them is still halfway through the construction, as if he is talking to the merfolk in the Black Lagoon. The four people in the painting could be the four founders of Hogwarts!
And the Eagle Knocker is a Horcrux-like thing from Rowena Ravenclaw? It can't be such a coincidence!
