Chapter 115: The Power of Fate (II)
One side of the Magic Tower, on the shore of the Black Lake.
"Lex!" Lockhart, dressed in bright red, was chasing a short figure, "Come back with me!" β
"Nope! I want to go home! It was a first-year Hufflepuff with broken yellow hair and a big glasses hanging from the bridge of his nose, and he yelled at Lockhart, "I don't want to stay here!" It's too dangerous here! I don't want to die! I want to go home! β
At the beginning of the school year, Lex got lost due to his unfamiliarity with the route in the Magic Tower. Somehow turning around, I actually walked out of the magic tower through a dark passage and came outside.
He had always kept this his secret, knowing that the deaths of the past few days had completely devastated him. Every day there were deaths, and he looked at the corpses, and his heart was terrified. He didn't want to stay here for even a second, he wanted to leave this place of right and wrong, he wanted to get back home quickly.
So, he walked out of the secret passage he had discovered. Who knows, as soon as he walked outside, he was found by Lockhart, who was on duty.
Although Gildero is always very sassy and sometimes has a brain disconnection, he is still very responsible. Although he knew that the basilisk was probably outside, he immediately informed the other professors, and then chased after him without hesitation.
"It's really not safe for you to get out of here! Hogwarts is the safest place in the world......" Lockhart tried to dissuade the student.
"Liar! If Hogwarts is safe, why are so many people dying? Lex interrupted Lockhart, ignoring the other man's ugly face, "Say! I can't tell! I really regret that I didn't listen to my parents and came to this wizarding world full of dangers! β
With that, Lex took a few steps back, turned around and ran.
"Nope! Come back, Lex! It's dangerous here! Lockhart hurriedly chased after him, "The basilisk is hiding in the Forbidden Forest now, you will be killed by him!" β
Hearing this, Lex slowed down and turned to look at Lockhart.
"Are you telling the truth?" He shook his body unconsciously, and looked around vigilantly.
"Of course! Come back soon! Seeing that persuasion worked, Lockhart hurriedly said, "Aren't you going home?" You go back to the magic tower with me first, and we'll find a professor to send you back tomorrow!" β
"You swear!" Lex immediately spoke up, "You swear now!" β
"I swear!" Lockhart clutched his chest with his left hand and raised his right hand into a fist, "I swear in Merlin's name that I will give it tomorrow...... Oh ~ Damn!
Hurry, come here! β
Lockhart was swearing when he suddenly saw the direction of the Forbidden Forest, and a large shadow suddenly appeared, approaching here at a rapid speed.
He'd seen the shadow in Snape's regression spell, and it was the basilisk!
"Swear! Why didn't you say it? "I knew you were all lying to me, big liar!" I don't trust you anymore! β
With that, he turned around and was about to leave here.
ββ¦β¦β
Lex's figure seemed to be frozen, and he stared blankly at the scene in front of him: a large serpent with a bright green glow peculiar to a poisonous snake was crawling out of the Forbidden Forest, its body as thick as the trunk of an oak tree, and its scales were huge and shiny.
It had a scarlet crown of hair on the top of its head, and two huge snake eyes that were as yellow as light bulbs.
"Get down on your stomach and close your eyes!" Before the basilisk could find out what was going on, Lockhart lowered his voice and shouted.
However, as if by magic, Lex did not move.
"Get down!" Lockhart cursed in his heart and strode towards the student.
"I ...... I...... I move...... Can't move......" Lex said stiffly, his teeth chattering.
A comical smell came from beneath him, and yellow water stains dripped from the corners of the school uniform.
βS hitοΌβ Lockhart scolded loudly, and pulled out his wand with a solemn face!
At this time, the basilisk had already rampaged to the two of them.
Although Baslit's magic was controlled by Charlotte's magic, the instinctive reaction of being a powerful demonic beast still caused two golden rays of light to shoot out of its vertical pupils.
Lockhart bit his lip, and his eyes revealed a look of unrepentant and resolute.
Without hesitation, he stood in front of Lex, summoning all the magic power of his body, trying to attack the basilisk in his crotch.
"Heim Davins!"
Lockhart let out the last cry of his life.
Rumble!
A bronze gate burst out of the ground in an instant, and suddenly stood in front of Lockhart. It seems to be the strongest guardian, wanting to protect the two behind him.
But!
A basilisk is a basilisk after all, and Lockhart is just an ordinary elite wizard. He didn't have the ability to reach the sky thoroughly, and the bronze giant gate couldn't resist the basilisk's gaze.
Laugh at~
With a clear sound, the golden gaze directly shattered the bronze door, and Lockhart subconsciously blocked Lex behind him.
With his hands open, his signature smile bloomed on his face, and his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a calm gaze, as if he was posing for a photo shoot with ease.
Silent!
The golden gaze easily passed through Lockhart's body, and continued to pass through Lex's body without stopping, harvesting the lives of two people, and finally shooting on the ground.
Puff~
Both of them fell to the ground, and Lockhart was on his back, his eyes fixed on the blue sky.
There are eagles flying with their wings spread, but the eyes of the people on the earth have lost their brilliance.
βNoοΌβ Snape had just arrived with a group of professors when he saw such a sad scene, "There is no shadow! β
A huge blade, as if drawing a knife to cut water, slashed towards the head of the basilisk.
While!
The blade slashed at the basilisk's scales, making a clashing of gold and iron.
Snape's magic couldn't even break through the basilisk's defenses. The basilisk now has only one goal on his mind, and that is to climb under the magic tower.
For the reptiles blocking the road, the basilisk flashed its eyes directly, and several lethal rays of light directly hit the professors.
The old bat and the others quickly shifted their shapes and changed positions, and they all dodged the attack of the basilisk and quickly organized a counterattack.
On the magic tower, Charlotte clenched her teeth and clenched her fists.
He was lost in thought just now, so he didn't notice what was happening on the other side of the Black Lake.
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" Charlotte's eyes widened as she looked at the two corpses lying on the ground in the distance, "Is this the power of fate?"
Is it because the fate of this world has been set, and then it has been detected by the system? Or is it the system that manipulates the fate of the world, forcibly turning them around? β
"Charlotte!" A murmuring whimper rang in his ears.
