Chapter 457: Trap
However, no matter how amazing Cromwell's momentum is, after stumbling a dozen times, this plot about the real Voldemort is finally completed.
After announcing that it would be called a day for the cast and crew to be evacuated, Charlotte herself stayed.
- And, of course, Cromwell, who is hiding on the side.
and Alexis.
"Are you planning to set up a battle here?"
Watching Charlotte's movements, Alexis asked.
"Yes. β
Charlotte nodded, he looked at Cromwell to the side,
"Jack the Ripper's whereabouts are too mysterious for Oliver to catch him, and I can't go for him - so I have to set a trap. β
"So, this is a trap, you set it?"
Cromwell, who was on one side, asked with interest.
"Yes. β
Charlotte explains,
"Now that I know that Jack the Ripper intends to commit another crime near our Hogwarts in order to achieve the forbidden dragon slaying technique of extracting the power of the leylines, I can set a trap for for tat-"
"When he really completes the Dragon Slaying Forbidden Technique and starts to extract the power of the leylines, this trap will also be launched simultaneously. β
"But what is the effect of this trap?"
Alexis asked.
"It's very simple, seal the power of the people or ghosts who extract the leylines hereβit's like a tug-of-war. β
"Originally, the Dragon Slaying Forbidden Technique was to drag out the power in the leyline and the dragon inside, but now it is the other way around, using this magic circle to balance the effect of the Dragon Slaying Forbidden Technique, and then using the power of the leyline to drag the other party in. β
"But there is no real dragon in the leylines here!"
Alexis was a little puzzled,
"Will Ms. Farmer's strength alone be able to achieve the effect you want?"
"I'm not going to have Francis Farmer preside over the circle. β
Charlotte shook her head,
"Her state is still unstable, even if she faces ordinary people, this kind of spell confrontation, it is very dangerous for her to do it. β
"Then you're going toβ"
"I'm going to use this!"
Charlotte pulled out a crystal clear blood-red gem from a hidden pocket and displayed it in front of Cromwell and Alexis.
Both goblins were taken aback at once.
The reason is simple, although this gem appears to be a physical body, it is actually a pure ball of magical energy.
The blood, gloom, mystery and rage in it are unimaginable.
"It's like a raging and bloody dragon, the power in it. β
Cromwell's tone was surprisingly solemn,
"Where did you get it, this gem!?"
"This is the power left after Dracula was destroyed!"
Charlotte explained.
"Dracula?
Cromwell did not doubt Charlotte's explanation,
"It's normal for him to be as strong as a dragon, and he's called the "son of the dragon". β
"But how did this stone come from, even if you destroy Dracula!?"
Cromwell asked Charlotte if he didn't think the other party could condense the power of a goblin to such an extent.
- Even if the opponent is proficient in spells.
Charlotte didn't hide this, he looked at Cromwell and asked the question he had been planning for a long time-
"Oliver, do you know the Lord of Hell?"
"Is it really Him!?"
Cromwell sighed, and Charlotte sighed in her heart,
"And so it was!"
After realizing that the Lord of Hell is the hidden mysterious consciousness in the gates of hell, Charlotte guesses if the other party has some connection with the ancient headless horseman Cromwell.
After all, the Headless Horseman can be said to be the messenger of death, and the Lord of Hell represents people's fear and imagination of death.
Saying that there is no relationship between the two, Charlotte doesn't believe it anyway.
What's more, when Charlotte resurrected Alexis, both of them appeared and interfered, isn't it obvious that this means?
"For the Headless Horseman is the messenger of death, and He, who represents death, can forcibly awaken me. β
Cromwell explained,
"But he's too mysterious, I don't know the details of him, only that he's always trying to turn more people into ghostsβ"
"Especially those who are proficient in spells!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Charlotte,
"He is eyeing you, and you should be. β
"Well, that's true!"
Charlotte smiled wryly and shook her head,
"Although he condensed Dracula's power to me after Dracula's death, it made me realize this possibility, but it is really confirmed, it still makes people shudder!"
"So, the Lord of Hell gave you this gem that compresses Dracula's power in the hope that you will absorb it and turn into a ghost?"
Alexis on the side asked.
Miss Valkyrie had heard Charlotte talk about the Lord of Hell, but she didn't know anything about the ruby.
It made her a little worried about Charlotte.
After all, through Charlotte and Cromwell's telling, Alexis has realized how powerful the Lord of Hell is.
- The common sense that "Charlotte can solve everything" doesn't seem to apply so much here.
In contrast, Charlotte herself is not very worried,
"Since the Lord of Hell used this thing to lure me into a ghost, he shouldn't take the initiative to deal with me in the short term!"
Mr. Director still looks confident,
"But I don't understand why He always wants people to turn into ghostsβis that good for Him?"
Charlotte looked at Cromwell to the side.
"Not much contact, I'm with Him. β
Cromwell said sullenly,
"Although the Headless Horseman is called a messenger from Hell, that's more of a rule - I don't actually follow the orders of the Lord of Hell. β
"But when I resurrected Alexis, you still came with him to make trouble, right?"
Charlotte asked.
"The rules of death are restricted, that is. β
Cromwell said confidently,
"Keep it, both me and Him!"
β...... Alright!"
Charlotte nodded.
Although most of the information obtained from this conversation with Cromwell was expected, it was not without additional gains.
- At the very least, Charlotte was inspired.
However, although the threat of the Lord of Hell is powerful, it is not an immediate matter after all.
At this moment, Charlotte is most concerned about Jack the Ripper-
He placed the red gem from Dracula on the ground, and the next moment, the gem was gone.
"Now that the trap has been set, it's up to Jack the Ripper to show up!"
Charlotte felt the power hidden in the circle under her feet, and a sneer appeared on her face.
