At the top of the Hogwarts Astronomical Tower, Professor Flitwick wears a Ravenclaw crown and sings an obscure language with his mouth open in pain.

It seems that even he thinks this "fairy song" is too unpleasant.

"Click."

Scott followed the prestige and looked at the golden treasure chest that had been placed on the ground.

"Click, click."

As Professor Flitwick continued to chant, the words inscribed on the golden chest shone blue.

As Professor Binns said, the order of the words inscribed on the golden chest is shuffled, so the order in which the words are lit at this moment is also out of order.

Scott guessed that it would be necessary for all the words to light up before the golden chest could be opened.

However, as time went by, Professor Flitwick's chanting became more and more difficult.

His eyes widened and his face was covered with sweat.

Scott looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore stood aside, looking worriedly at Professor Flitwick, who seemed powerless about it.

Professor Binns also had an anxious and worried look on his face, floating around Dumbledore.

Scott saw him open his mouth several times to say something, probably trying to stop Professor Flitwick from continuing, but never said it.

Professor Flitwick's chanting was getting harsher and harsher.

By the time the inscription on the Golden Chest was lit up by about 80%, Professor Flitwick was already standing unsteadily.

And that's not the worst, what's bad is that his body is undergoing noticeable changes.

Scott's eyes widened as he watched as Professor Flitwick's ears and nose grew longer.

This looks terrible.

His face was gradually changing to that of a true goblin.

At this time, Professor Binns couldn't help but speak, "No, stop, Philius, if you continue like this, the silent bloodline in your body will riot!" ”

But Professor Flitwick didn't stop, he kept going.

Even though his face was flushed with heat, his feet were torn through his boots, and his hands were growing sharp nails, he didn't stop screaming.

At the same time, the continuous "click" sound on the golden treasure chest continued to sound, and the entire chest shook rapidly.

"Stop him, Albus!" Professor Binns yelled at Dumbledley, "The Bloodline Riot will cause a magical disorder that could endanger his life when the time comes!" ”

Dumbledore pulled his Elder Wand from his sleeve with a solemn expression.

At that moment, Professor Flitwick suddenly raised his hand tremblingly and made a gesture to stop.

Scott and the other two professors understood, and he told Dumbledore not to disturb him.

And in the process, he still hasn't stopped the magic known as the Song of the Fairies.

Dumbledore hesitated, raising the Elder Wand in his hand and not moving to stop Professor Flitwick.

Professor Binns could only float around in a hurry.

At this point, Scott was in no mood to pay attention to Professor Binns's rare emotional exposure, and he was looking at Professor Flitwick anxiously.

He couldn't understand why Professor Flitwick was so persistent, even at the risk of his own life.

In his opinion, whatever was hidden in the golden treasure chest, it was definitely not worth Professor Flitwick's desperate efforts.

At this time, the shaking of the golden treasure chest became more and more violent, and there were very few words that had not yet been lit up.

Professor Flitwick also sped up his chanting.

Finally, he's done!

At the moment of completion, Professor Flitwick's body collapsed forward.

"Professor!"

Scott didn't care about the shaking golden chest, and hurriedly ran over to catch the professor.

"Professor Flitwick!"

Scott got down on one knee and put his hand on Professor Flitwick's back.

The touch of his palms indicated that the professor's robe was soaked with sweat.

Scott looked worriedly at Professor Flitwick's closed eyes, at which point the Professor's image was infinitely close to that of a real goblin.

A white light shrouded Professor Flitwick's body.

Scott turned around and saw Dumbledore casting a spell on Professor Flitwick.

"Calm down, Scott." Dumbledore said in a reassuring tone, "Filius will be fine, you can sense it, can't you?" ”

Scott nodded a little dazedly, and then used his magic perception to probe the magic in Professor Flitwick's body up close.

Shrouded in that white light, Professor Flitwick's boiling magic was slowly calming down.

And the change in his body to the fairy is also fading little by little.

Seeing this scene, Scott couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Click, click!"

At this moment, the sound from the golden treasure chest suddenly became louder.

Scott turned his head and watched as gaps appeared in the golden chest, each side with three horizontal and three vertical, dividing the square chest.

The Golden Chest has literally turned into a Rubik's Cube.

Then, the Rubik's Cube began to writhe on its own, up and down, left and right, constantly spinning wildly.

When it quieted down again to form a cube, the words engraved on the surface of the chest became neat.

Subsequently, the gaps that had divided the golden chest into a Rubik's cube disappeared, leaving only a circle around the middle of the chest's four facades.

"Click, click."

The sound of the machine sounded, and the upper part of the treasure chest slowly opened.

Scott looked intently, and what appeared in the gold chest was a smaller silver chest.

At that moment, he felt Professor Flitwick, who was holding him in his hand, move.

He didn't bother to look at the silver chest, and quickly looked down at Professor Flitwick.

"Professor!" He called again.

Professor Flitwick slowly opened his eyes.

By this time, his face had returned to its original appearance.

"Scott?" Professor Flitwick looked at Scott and asked, "Did I make it?" ”

Scott nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, it's successful, the box has been opened." ”

"That's good." Professor Flitsch looked back at Dumbledore, who had been enveloping him with a spell, "Oh, thank you, Albus, I'm fine. ”

"You're all right, Filius." Dumbledore smiled and put away his Elder Wand.

Professor Flitwick struggled to his feet and walked over to the chest.

He pulled out his wand and waved it, and the silver chest flew out of the gold chest and landed on the ground.

"This ......," he said, looking at the silver chest in surprise.

"You were too reckless, Filius." Professor Binns, who had already gathered next to the treasure chest to study, turned his head, "If I didn't know you, I would have thought you were a Gryffindor!" ”

Professor Flitwick laughed a little awkwardly, "Oh, you know, Professor Binns, I almost got sorted into Gryffindor when I got in. ”

Professor Binns shook his head with a grimace and continued to look at the silver chest.

"This chest is opened with werewolf blood." He said.

Scott walked over curiously and looked closely at the silver chest.

Just look at the silver chest, which is covered with ornate patterns, and a very finely carved werewolf head is inlaid in the center of the chest, like a lock.

Dumbledore approached with a small glass bottle, he uncorked the glass bottle, and crouched down to hold the glass bottle in his hand next to the werewolf head.

"Click, click."

The werewolf head opens its mouth.

Dumbledore poured blood from the glass vial into its mouth.

"Woohoo......"

The werewolf head opened its mouth and howled again, and its eyes carved from white gems suddenly turned blood-red.

"Click, click, click......"

The Silver Chest automatically opens, revealing the Dark Crystal Chest inside.

Dumbledore took out the small dark crystal chest.

Then, he pulled an even smaller glass bottle out of his pocket and dripped the clear liquid onto the closed eyes of the mermaid's head carved into the dark crystal chest.

Soon, the mermaid head opened its eyes and opened its mouth to sing a few ethereal words.

"Click, click, click."

The Dark Crystal Chest automatically opens, revealing a small wooden chest inside.

It is a small, rectangular wooden box that resembles a wand box.

Different from the gorgeous and exquisite shape of the previous three-tiered gold, silver, and dark crystal treasure chest, this small wooden chest located in the core looks extremely plain.

Logs, without any patterns and without locks.

Dumbledore didn't do it directly this time, but waved his wand and let the small wooden box open on its own.

Inside the small wooden box lay a roll of animal skins.

"Open it and take a look!" Professor Binns said with some impatience.

Dumbledore reached out and unfolded the scroll, and Scott leaned over to look at what appeared to be the words carved with a knife on the scroll.

It's an ancient script.

The words engraved on this scroll are all ancient scripts.

Scott carefully scanned the ancient scripts, then frowned.

As an ancient script, the ancient magic script is no longer complete in modern times, and there are many characters on this animal skin scroll that make him feel unfamiliar, and he can only barely understand part of it for a while.

This hide contains a secret location, and it seems that someone built one and where......

Scott suddenly felt that his knowledge was still very poor.

"It's Merlin!" Professor Binns exclaimed suddenly.

Dumbledore nodded, then turned to look at Scott.

"I don't know if it's a coincidence." He smiled and said, "We learned the news of the [clairvoyant] mentioned in the prophecy on the scroll of animal skins. ”

"Sorry, Professor, I didn't get it." Scott said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, you still need to learn." Dumbledore said, "Mastering ancient magic texts requires long-term accumulation. ”

Professor Flitwick patiently said: "When you have more experience, or when you are exposed to more ancient texts, you will be able to rely on reasoning and guessing to understand the general meaning of such texts, even if there are some characters that are unfamiliar to you." ”

Scott nodded.

"Alright." Dumbledore laughed and said, "Scott can't wait to find out." ”

Scott nodded again.

Dumbledore shook the scroll of animal skin in his hand, "It records that the legendary wizard Merlin once built a super-large magical ritual called [Clairvoyance] on that island known as Avalon, and the only purpose of this ritual is to see the future. ”

"See the future?" Scott's eyes widened.

The excessively strong sense of absurdity once again filled his heart.

Dumbledore nodded, "That's what is written on the hide, and it's because of this that Merlin has clearly predicted the future countless times. ”

"If that's true...... Professor Flitwick muttered, his voice sharpening, "Merlin is able to perform such an unbelievable magical ritual, his magic is beyond people's imagination!" ”

"yes, it's incredible, isn't it?" Dumbledore said in an exclamatory tone.

"But who recorded it?" Scott asked, "And who hid the box in the Room of Requirement?" ”

Professor Binns said, "I've looked up some of the old records kept at Hogwarts, and the troll specimen has been there for a long time, and it was even used as a teaching prop. ”

Facing the other three's somewhat surprised eyes, he continued disapprovingly, "You know, in the past, the relationship between wizards and magical beasts was even more hostile than it is now. ”

In the end, he concluded, "I think it was later people who put it in the responsive room when they were cleaning up the clutter." ”

Professor Flitwick asked the question Scott wanted to ask, "Do you know who made that troll specimen in the first place?" ”

Professor Binns shook his head, "I haven't found any record of this, so maybe you can ask Miss Gray and Barrow the Blood, the two of them are the longest-standing ghosts in the school." ”

"Then ask them." Dumbledore stood up, "Miss Gray, Mr. Barrow. ”

His call seemed to contain magical power, and the two ghosts he called appeared in front of him in an instant.

This seems to be the prerogative of the Headmaster of Hogwarts.

Scott remembered that last year, Dumbledore had used magic to summon the ghosts of the four major houses in front of him, trying to control Medea through a special magic.

Although control failed and Medea eventually fled, Scott still remembers the scene vividly.

"What's the matter?" Bloody Barrow opened his mouth coldly.

"Scott? How are you here. Helena looked at Scott with some surprise.

When she spoke, Bloody Barrow quickly closed his mouth and silently stepped aside.

Helena didn't glance at him at all, but floated in front of Scott.

"Oh, you look a little embarrassed, Filius." She looked down at Professor Flitwick again.

Professor Flitwick hurriedly explained, "That's the ......"

Then he recounted the details of the box.

"I see." Helena glanced at Scott, "Why do you keep getting this happening?" ”

Scott spread his hands with a helpless expression on his face.

"Troll specimens." Helena had already pondered, "Let me think about it, I might be able to think of it." ”

"It's Henry Gaunt, son of Medea." Bloody Barrow spoke suddenly.

Helena didn't look at him, but said to herself, "Who would do such a thing, I mean making troll specimens, trolls are stinky." ”

There was a look of disgust on her face.

"It's him." "He studied at Hogwarts and later served as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor for a while, and the specimens were made during his tenure. ”

Listening to him, he seems to know something inside.
