561. The White Tower with the White Tombstone
Two small boats arrived at the island in the center of the lake almost simultaneously.
Four people jumped from the boat to the shore one after another.
Scott looked up at the fruitful apple trees in front of him and smelled the peculiar fragrance of apples.
"Aren't you leaving?"
Medea walked up to him and asked softly.
Scott turned to look at her.
"What about you?"
Medea smiled.
"Let's go."
So saying, she took the lead into the apple grove.
"See you later."
Aaron waved at Scott and Savana, following Medea.
The figures of the two soon disappeared.
Scott was not in a hurry to leave, but asked Sawanna curiously, "Is there anything special about apples here?" ”
Savana smiled and didn't answer.
She tiptoed up, picked an apple, and took a bite of it.
"It's delicious."
Scott also raised his hand to pick one and held it in his hand to observe.
The apples are red, look without any blemishes, and without any dust.
It's not like a wild apple grove, it's like an orchard that has been carefully tended.
He took a bite of the apple, his eyes widening slightly.
The flesh is crisp and juicy, and this sweet fragrance is something he has never tasted.
So he sped up his gnawing on the apples.
An apple was eaten quickly, and he not only felt full, but also felt that his exhaustion had been eliminated.
"Sure enough, it's not an ordinary apple."
He looked at the fruit tree in front of him with burning eyes.
This is much better than a potion that restores physical strength, not to mention the difference in taste.
"Can these apples be transplanted?"
He wanted to transplant this apple grove into the [Eye of Odin] space.
"Yes." Sawanna said with a smile.
Before Scott could be pleased, she added, "But you need a druid to take care of them for you." ”
Scott was immediately disappointed.
Sawanna raised her hand to caress the trunk of the tree, and her palms flashed green.
"Don't be disappointed, if I'm not mistaken, you don't need a druid to transplant it, but when the time comes, the apples you grow will only have a fifth of the effect here."
"A fifth is enough."
Scott nodded in satisfaction.
"But let's talk about it later."
As he spoke, he threw away the apple core in his hand and walked towards the front with his feet raised.
Since there was no straight road, the two went around the apple grove several times and finally came to the center of the island.
It's not a big area, not as big as a classroom.
But Scott didn't see Mordred, nor did he see Medea and Aaron.
King Arthur's tomb is also not seen.
It's just a mediocre weed.
The only thing that stood out was the white square stone in the middle of the lawn.
"Is there still a second floor?"
Scott walked to the square stone with questions and saw footprints on the smooth surface of the stone.
Sawana also questioned, "It seems that this place can be teleported to another dimension?" ”
"Then go up and try it."
Scott held out his hand.
"Okay."
Savana took his hand, and the two of them stood together on the square stone.
With a flash of light in front of his eyes, Scott felt his body suddenly fly.
It's not the kind of fluttering flying, but it seems to be thrown by some kind of force, and the whole body is not forced.
In order to avoid being separated, he could only hold Sawanna's hand tightly.
Fortunately, such an alternative flight time is not long.
After a while, the two of them were thrown heavily into a field of flowers.
Smelling the familiar scent of flowers, Scott slowed down for a moment before getting up.
As far as the eye can see, there is a familiar sea of flowers.
It's exactly the same as the sea of flowers when I saw Merlin in my dream.
"Here?"
Savanna's tone was full of shock.
Scott looked at the tall white tower in the distance.
That tower is not available in the dream world.
"Let's go over."
He greeted and walked towards the white tower.
Walking and walking, I don't know why, he ran.
"What's wrong?" Sawanna asked.
"I don't know."
Scott himself doesn't know why.
But he decided to follow his heart's impulses.
He ran faster and faster, and then directly transformed into a peregrine falcon and began to fly as fast as he could.
Behind him, Sawana was likewise transformed into an eagle.
With all their strength flying, they soon reached the front of the immaculate white tower.
The tower only has an entrance at the bottom, without any doors or windows on it, and Scott lands at the entrance and transforms back into a human form.
Savana followed.
"That's?"
Scott saw the same pure white tombstone on the side of the tower.
And the familiar bright silver knight's spear stuck in front of the tombstone.
He did not rush into the tower, but walked to the tombstone.
There is only one line engraved on the smooth tombstone -
[Eternal King Arthur rests here]
"This knight's spear ......"
Sawanna was a little surprised.
"What the hell is going on? What about Mordred? ”
Scott also looked at the knight's spear.
At this time, the gun seemed to have been completely purified by some kind of power, and even Sawana could not feel the smell of blood.
He shook his head and looked at the white tower.
"I'll have to go to the tower to find out."
As he spoke, he bowed to the tombstone and turned to walk towards the white tower.
Sawanna bowed as well, following in his footsteps.
There was no door to the entrance to the bottom of the tower, and Scott and Savana walked directly into the tower.
The first thing that catches your eye is a bronze color.
Click...... Click......
Accompanied by the sound of countless mechanisms running, Scott looked at the huge magic device in front of him with some shock.
Countless copper-colored rings of metal were spinning at different speeds and in different directions, and in the center of the magic device, a huge copper-colored metal eye was suspended.
"This is the Eye of the Clair."
Medea's voice came from upstairs.
Scott followed the sound and saw Medea standing at the entrance of the upper floor, looking at them condescendingly.
"You're not surprised at all, you know a lot."
Medea was apparently watching Scott's reaction.
Scott was noncommittal.
"Can this thing still see the future?" He asked.
"No, you can't." Medea said, "Its energy has been depleted. ”
With that, she turned and walked into the entrance of the upper floor.
Watching Medea's figure disappear, Scott smiled.
"Shall we go up?" Sawanna asked.
"Nope." Scott raised an eyebrow, "Let's get out." ”
Savana didn't ask why, just turned and walked out of the white tower.
Even after walking out of the tower, they did not stop, but walked farther and farther.
Finally, they stood in the endless sea of flowers, looking at the white tower from afar.
"It's a little different from what I imagined." "But that's okay, let's just wait and see." ”
Sawanna nodded.
She raised her long wooden staff and paused, and several thick green vines emerged from the ground, quickly forming a set of tables and chairs with simple and beautiful shapes.
"You may be seated."
She laughs.
"Okay."
Scott laughed too.
The two sat down in their chairs, and Scott also brought out a bunch of snacks and drinks.
"Really."
A figure appeared silently and sat down in an empty seat.
"Aren't you curious?"
Merlin is still the same two-dimensional image.
He sat lazily, his elbows resting on the armrests of his chair, palms resting on his cheeks, and a smile in his eyes.
Scott laughed and said, "Won't you find out soon?" ”
"Yes."
Merlin blinked, and vanished before his eyes like a phantom.
It is worth noting that the process of his appearance and disappearance was never noticed by Sawanna on the side.
Scott and Sawana didn't have to wait long.
In a few moments, Medea and Aaron came out of the white tower.
Behind them, a black mist followed.
"Is that the boy?"
An old voice came from the black mist.
"The one you said didn't exist."
"Yes." Medea replied, "Father." ”
The black mist swept all the way, accompanied by countless rolled petals, and soon came to Scott and Sawanna.
The black mist intertwined, forming a somewhat illusory head in the air.
Bald-headed, sharp-billed monkey gills, long beard.
Identical to the Slytherin statue in the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets.
The skull opened its dark eyes.
He ignored Savanna and looked straight at Scott.
"I'm Salazar? Slytherin. ”
"Since you're also a Hogwarts student, you should stand up and salute me."
He said confidently.
"I'm sorry."
Scott was unmoved, just smiled perfunctorily.
"I'm a Ravenclaw student."
"A student of Rowena?"
Slytherin's eyes narrowed.
"Or a student at Ravenclaw House?"
"Both." Scott said.
He raised his hand, and a small blank frame flew up, suspended in the air.
Subsequently, a beautiful figure appeared in the painting.
"Long time no see, Salazar."
After a thousand years, seeing his old friend who had turned into a black fog again, Ravenclaw still had a dignified and reserved smile on his face.
Slytherin, however, only glanced at the portrait with disdain.
"If it was the real Rowena, I would definitely catch up with you, but I have no interest in communicating with the portrait."
Hearing him say this, the Ravenclaw in the painting was not angry.
"I didn't mean to talk to you, Salazar." She calmly said, "I'm just a witness." ”
"Witnesses?"
Slytherin, however, playfully struck up a conversation with her again.
"I thought you were coming to me for the sake of your students."
The Ravenclaw in the painting says, "No, I trust my students." ”
Slytherin laughed.
"A portrait of a student?"
He was a little unimpressed.
"You should know that even the real Rowena himself is not qualified to threaten me."
The Ravenclaw in the painting does not argue, still only smiles slightly.
Slytherin said, "You are as annoying as Rowena herself, a noble man who prides herself on being wise. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Scott.
"Your students are different from you, and if he were in Slytherin House, he would have been better off."
Scott said, "Thank you for the affirmation, but unfortunately my parents are Muggles and don't fit well into Slytherin House." ”
Slytherin frowned.
He turned his head to look at Medea who came over, and asked very dissatisfied, "After a thousand years, the power of the Holy See can still threaten wizards?" ”
Medea shook her head, "No, the Holy See has lost its transcendent armament and memory of wizards, and now they can only affect Muggles. ”
Slytherin turned to Scott again, "Since the Holy See is no longer a threat, why does Slytherin House have a bloodline requirement?" ”
"Maybe it's because of tradition." Scott shrugged his shoulders.
"Stupid."
Slytherin made a very brief assessment.
But he soon gave up dwelling on it.
"Forget it." "I've been out of interest in these things for a long time," he said. ”
He didn't say anything more and flew straight in the direction of King Arthur's tombstone.
Medea stood in front of Scott and smiled, "If you want to stop it, it's too late." ”
"Why stop it?" Scott smiled at her in return.
"If only you didn't regret it."
Medea withdrew her gaze and turned to walk towards the tombstone.
Aaron stayed.
He sat down in the empty chair very familiarly, looking at Scott and then at Sawanna.
"You still say you didn't soak my sister?" He said to Scott with a grin.
Before Scott could say anything, Sawanna got up, picked up her long wooden staff, and slammed it into his head.
"Ah......h
Aaron screamed exaggeratedly, rolled from his seat to the ground, and crawled past the long wooden staff.
"Stop fighting! I was wrong! ”
He shouted, got up and ran towards Medea's back.
Because Sawana didn't catch up, he ran and turned back to make a grimace.
Neither Scott nor Savana paid any further attention to him, and he followed Medea to the tombstone.
By this time, Slytherin had reached the sky above the pure white tombstone.
The black mist that made up the skull dispersed, tumbled, and turned into pure black mist.
The blackness in the fog is getting thicker and thicker.
Medea walked over to the tombstone and held out her left hand.
White bones pierced the skin of her palm.
She grasped the white bone in her right hand and pulled the wand of white bone out of the flesh of her palm.
Aaron also removed the short wooden staff that hung from his waist.
The two of them moved, one left and one right, and stood next to the tombstone.
"It's now!"
Scott hears Slytherin's orders.
Both Medea and Aaron waved their wands at the tombstone.
A red beam of light meets a green beam to form a white bolt of lightning.
Bang!
White lightning struck the immaculate white tombstone, leaving a scorched black mark.
Bang!
Bang!
Lightning struck the tombstone one after another.
"Is it really nice to look like this?"
Sawanna fidgeted.
"That's King Arthur's tombstone!"
She stared angrily at Medea and Aaron's actions.
Scott said, "We are not subjects of King Arthur, nor have we sworn allegiance to him. ”
Even Merlin didn't stop him, what did he have to do with the people of the future?
"But ......"
Sawanna still couldn't stand it.
Scott shook his head at her.
Bang!
The lightning doesn't stop.
Gradually, a crack appeared on the thick tombstone.
The rift gradually widened, spread, and soon covered the entire tombstone.
Bang!
With another bolt of lightning, the tombstone of the Eternal King collapsed.
