Chapter 117: Give Time a Soul, Not a Soul
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and Ricardo could clearly see that a trace of helplessness and sadness flashed in Salazar's eyes, as if he had expected all this for a long time.
When Rowena saw this calm expression, she immediately became angry: "Okay! Turns out you know! It's a time legacy! ”
"So...... To leave somebody in the lurch...... Salazar Slytherin, Helena's death is yours too! “
Rowena was really angry, black flames burning in the area, and the ice blade sliced through Salazar's throat.
"You'd better explain it to me, or I wouldn't mind teaching you how to spell the word mother!"
"I'm sorry, but at the same time that you lost a daughter, I also lost a disciple, and he was sent by you in my name......"
"I don't care!" Rowena's eyes were on fire, "This is my daughter, the little greedy girl!" ”
"Yes, she's Helena, the girl who likes to call me Uncle Orochi," Salazar smiled wryly, "but there's one thing you forget, there's something called fate." ”
The flames and ice dissipated instantly, and Rowena's hand slowly lowered, her eyes darkened.
yes, fate. Salazar and she were close friends, and it was impossible for her to do anything that would not be saved by death. But Sara saw the future—and only glimpsed it, but didn't stop it.
It is even possible that this arrogant-looking pure-blood has shot countless times, but each time the result is Helena's death, which may be Helena's best result or the most painless death.
"We've done so much, what have we got......" her tone trembled.
"Nothing," the air mass spoke, with resentment in his tone, "no, a lifelong curse!" We are harmed by the so-called fate, and then we have to protect this so-called fate! ”
"Actually, you're already the best," Salazar sighed, "and even those who summoned us are under the curse of lust and are dying at the bottom of the lake." ”
"Me? Best? The tone of the air mass was like hearing some kind of joke, "Do you know what it's like when [jealousy] is attacked?" Dreaming of denying yourself! Even lifeless beings can't help but be jealous! It's as if the whole person is born for jealousy! ”
"He's a scourge!" As it spoke, it yelled, "If you hadn't taken him in, we would have lived happily for a few years!" It's a big deal to get rid of the magic and be a Muggle! ”
No one spoke, not even Rowena pursed her lips.
"I'm surprised, Rowena Ravenclaw," the air mass calmed down, looking at the silent woman, "and you've always retorted when I said dissipate the magic. ”
"Surprised? It's understandable," Rowena sighed softly, "magic can't save my most precious things...... The so-called power and so-called knowledge are no longer of great importance to me. ”
"In the past, I agreed with a saying in the East, called 'Morning Hearing the Tao, you can die at night', and I have always fulfilled this sentence, to find the knowledge I want, to explore the limits of magic. But now I realize that I am not at all the kind of ruthless person who can give up everything for the truth...... Or rather, when I had Helena, I couldn't be. It is a transcendent magic that makes travelers who walk in the depths of darkness feel a trace of the warmest bond...... But now she's broken......"
Rowena's eyes were filled with tears, and she tilted her head slightly to prevent it from falling.
Salazar and the air mass expressed comfort with silence. After a long time, Rowena calmed down, her eyes firm and indifferent:
"I want her back. At all costs. ”
"It's not a difficult task," said the air mass, "and the soul time magic that Salazar and I have laid at Hogwarts is enough to bring every Hogwarts student back until they get tired of it." Perhaps, Miss Helena has returned......"
"Nope! Don't think I don't understand this magic," Rowena immediately shook her head, "It's draining the strength of the soul, and although it will slow down somewhat, when she's really tired of returning, it'll be weaker than the other ghosts." Helena can't be bullied, never. ”
"It will take your help, Rowena," replied the air mass, "about eternal life—though it is different from eternal life—but it is about the same, after all, you are asking for as you please. I am good at souls and can be responsible for keeping the dead in residence; Salazar is good at time and can be responsible for keeping the soul alive for a long time, and you ......"
"I think I know what to do, in this place," Rowena quickly found her job, "and in that case, what is the price for me to keep Helena?" All I know is that you two are sneaking around in the basement, but I don't know what you're targeting. ”
"You still care so much about the equivalent exchange. However, we've been deliberating on how to do this, and we've even experimented with my baby basilisk. You are our friend, and you don't need to be paid. Salazar sighed and interjected.
But Rowena didn't look at him, her eyes staring straight at the air mass.
After a long time, the air mass swung up and down a few times: "Good, good. I accept your joining. ”
"So, what is our goal?"
"Our goal......" Qi Qun's voice was hoarse and low, with an unknown smile, "It's killing [life]. ”
The scene in front of him suddenly blurred, and Ricardo opened his eyes wide to try to see clearly, only to see the air mass transform into a smiling face.
The direction he faced, it was him.
……
"It was one day in the 11th century A.D., Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw and the mysterious being had made a covenant, and the inheritors of the gods met again, and the iron hand of fate turned their way in the dark, and they killed it in order to kill it."
An old, tough voice rang out from behind Ricciardo, who looked behind him to see Salazar Slytherin.
"Whoever sees this memory must have experienced at least one strange thing. If I'm not mistaken, it's probably the result of our madness. ”
"I'm sorry and take this as compensation. But we still have a lot of resistance, but we don't know if it will wear out in the long years, or if it will increase like a snowball. But I believe that as a wizard, you will want to be strong because of this. ”
Ricardo nodded, though he was still a little dazed.
"Now, I teach you the two memories of his soul magic and my time magic to the best of my ability. But by fusing your memories directly with you, it is possible to overwhelm your memories. ”
Salazar's figure was blurred again, and his voice began to be choppy.
"I will seal the memory in your heart, let you understand it step by step, find a fit in the magic book, and automatically integrate it into your magic learning."
"Remember ......"
"Give time to the soul, not to the soul."
The last sentence was spoken in one breath, and the hoarse voice was clear and firm, like an inscription carved by the years on the stone cave.
