It was an eerie area, and he stood on the side of a long, dimly lit room - no, strictly speaking, it was a huge dark palace.

The stone pillars were carved with coiled serpents, towering to prop up the ceiling that melted into the darkness from above, casting long, eerie black shadows over the room filled with green and mystery.

Ricardo's heart pounded involuntarily as he stood there, listening to the deathly silence.

He had the feeling that something lurked in a dark corner behind some stone pillar, and that it could see him.

He tried to pull out his wand, but found that there was nothing in his body - perhaps, it shouldn't be called a body, after all, he couldn't tell what kind of being he was now.

Translucent, milky white, it seems to be his soul, but it is also like his own memory.

He slowly advanced among the stone pillars coiled by the serpent, but for some reason he took a step, creating a hollow, loud echo between the four walls of the ghostly tower.

He always felt that the empty eye sockets of the two stone snakes were always following him.

More than once, he seemed to see something, his eyes narrowed, only to find nothing.

When he came to the last pair of stone pillars, a figure appeared in front of him, clinging to the dark wall behind him.

It was an old, monkey-like face, a long, sparse beard that dragged almost all the way to the hem of the wizard's robes, and two gray boots standing on the smooth floor of the room.

"Salazar Slytherin, looks like you're running out of time......"

A voice sounded suddenly, and at the same moment, a black air mass appeared in front of the old man's eyes.

Salazar Slytherin was not intimidated by the black air mass, and was refreshed as if he were going to a feast.

"I'm going to erect a statue here in a few days," he said suddenly, "in my current appearance." ”

Strangely, they were supposed to be in Old English, but Ricardo understood it.

"Oh? Are you happy with how you look now? It seems that time magic has not only cursed you on the outside, but also changed your heart? ”

The voice in the air mass was sarcastic.

"Of course it can't be," Salazar's voice added a touch of cheerfulness, "but Godric has admitted that I used to be handsome. ”

He walked a few steps, inexplicably seemed to feel something, glanced towards where Ricardo was, then retracted his gaze, and walked leisurely here: "However, this is the face I have exchanged for my life, and I have to cherish it." ”

"Hehe, life ......" Qi Mass sneered, "Studying time privately, being cursed by the world, you said this is exchanging life for face...... Not bad. ”

"Aren't we the same kind of people? Your Excellency," Salazar grinned, "otherwise, how would you study Soul and Time with me?" ”

"Indeed, but I'm not as reckless as you, and the goal isn't necessarily the same......" said the black air mass known as "Your Excellency."

"Of course. But our common goal is clear, both for the greater greatness of the wizard. Salazar replied.

"Of course, otherwise, you wouldn't have avoided those three people," Qi Tuan laughed again, "I really didn't expect that it would be you who could partially agree with my point of view and summon me......"

"Who do you think otherwise? Rowena? Obviously, no one can understand your behavior except me, who is studying time. ”

"Yes...... You're the only one who can barely observe the unreachable future......" the air mass said faintly, but spun around.

"Still, there's something wrong with your claim...... Look, isn't Rowena Ravenclaw coming? ”

"I knew you were here, Your Excellency."

The voice suddenly sounded from behind Ricardo, and he couldn't help but be startled when he saw a beautiful and dignified woman walking out from behind him.

"I never thought I could hide it from you, Rowena."

Salazar smiled helplessly, and when he looked closely, he seemed to have a hint of imperceptible relief.

"It's been a long time, Miss Wisdom," the air ball's tone was full of nostalgia, "I still remember the day when we fought side by side, when you wore a crown like a god-king descending from the sky, holding the monstrous flames in your hands, turning into snow in the early morning. ”

Rowena also showed a nostalgic smile, but it was full of bitterness: "All the glory will pass, in fact, we will not escape his curse." ”

The air fell silent for a moment, except for a Slytherin "snort" but nothing to say.

After a long time, the voice of the air mass sounded: "Hmm...... Actually, the curse is not a big deal, but we must suppress it with a holy weapon. Even if it is released, it will only disfigure his face like Salazar. ”

"That's not going to work," Salazar interjected, a smile in the corner of his eyes, "Our Elemental Princess has to collect skincare secrets everywhere she goes, so how can she trade beauty for power?" ”

"How many times have I said that, just to get closer to those girls, so that I can ask about ancient magic," Rowena raised an eyebrow, "Superior wisdom is the greatest treasure of mankind." ”

"I remember once going to the Ancient Tribe, and they were excited when they heard you say this, and then ......" He couldn't go on anymore because Rowena sealed his mouth with magic.

Ricardo thought for a moment, "excited...... Why?

Did it touch on any tribal grammatical features...... Wrong!

"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest treasure of mankind"...... Ravenclaw seems to have been around the tenth century...... Old English was spoken in Britain at the time...... So translated into ...... ......What is the length of the pass?

What should have been a serious atmosphere suddenly became wrong.

"Salazar Slytherin," Rowena's tone turned cold, "don't you have a grudge for the world?" ”

"Your hearts are still so young," said the air ball with a smile, "but unfortunately I'm old." ”

"Come on," Ravenclaw rolled his eyes at the mention of this, "I wonder who came back from the dead in the sixth century and is still hidden from the world." You are the greatest eternal in this world. ”

"You don't know anything about eternal life...... "The air mass replied, "It's not for pleasure, it's about duty......

"Don't talk about that," Salazar pressed his hands down to signal silence, then turned his head to Rowena, "What are you doing here, Rowena?" ”

"What, huh," Rowena sneered, "your good apprentice killed my daughter. ”

Ricardo was shocked, did I see something I shouldn't see?

"Of course," the Sorting Hat's voice suddenly sounded in his head, "though I don't know why Salazar Slytherin would show you so many tidbits when I was showing you the feature film." That's why I want you to go back and watch it. He set such a threshold, and you can just keep watching. ”

"You ......"

"Don't worry, I can't see your memory now, it's just a little magic of your Excellency's psychic connection."
