There was silence in the conference room, and it was clear that decisions were not easy for professors to make.

If you forcibly wake up, you will inevitably face angry questions from parents. And if they are allowed to sleep, and they don't know when they will find a way to break the curse, and even if they do, it is still unknown whether it will be too late at that time.

"Professor, do those people in the icicles have anything in common?"

Norin thought for a moment and asked.

"What do you have in common?"

Professor Norman was stunned for a moment, and began to think seriously about Nolin's question. At this time, no matter what he thinks of Norin, he has to put it aside first.

"They don't usually have much to do with each other."

Professor Brown began, "I know them well, and if I have anything in common, it's that they're all at the top of their grades." ”

"At the top?"

Norlin repeated.

"Yes."

Professor Brown bowed, "Leslie is the first in the fourth grade, and the others are also in the top three in the grade, and their practical abilities are second to none. ”

"That would explain it."

Norin touched his chin and said with a smile, "This curse is essentially to extract the soul power of the cursed person to enhance his own strength, if the power of the cursed person is stronger, the greater the benefit." The man who did it would be forgivable to find them. ”

Norlin muttered his guess.

"Soul extraction...... This method is also an extremely dark magic in the dark arts. ”

The professors began to analyze the possibilities in his words, and Professor Mars said grimly. They all know the importance of the soul to a wizard, it can be said that the strength of a wizard is directly proportional to the strength of their soul, and if the soul is strong, the magic power will naturally rise.

It's just that this kind of black magic is rare to see in terms of the professors' vision and experience.

When they began to discuss, Norlin seemed to remember something and froze on the spot.

The light in his eyes flickered and flickered, and he fell silent.

"What's wrong, Mr. Davis?"

Professor Brown immediately noticed his anomaly, "Did you think of any clues?" ”

"Nothing. I'm just thinking...... Why wasn't I attacked? ”

Norlin whispered.

It's not that he's arrogant, if it's about strength, I believe that all the professors will not doubt that he has the strength to surpass Leslie's others, and after he said this, the professors found that this problem is indeed debatable.

"Could it be that the person who started it doesn't know your strength? You've only been in Durmstrang for a short time, and people who aren't familiar with the castle may not have an impression of you. ”

Karkaroff hesitated and said, and was immediately coldly retorted by Professor Pandora on the side, "Do you think that someone who can accurately identify the outstanding students in each grade will not know this Hogwarts exchange student who has made a big disturbance when he first arrives?" ”

Karkaroff was choked up and speechless for a moment, and Professor Norman groaned:

"In this case, it is very likely that the murderer is from the castle, otherwise he would not have known so much about the situation of the students. There is a good possibility...... It's a certain professor. ”

As he spoke, his cold eyes swept over the many professors in the conference room.

The professors' faces changed, and Professor Mars said it bluntly, in an unkind tone: "Norman, are you suspicious of us?" ”

Only then did Norlin realize that Durmstrang's professors weren't monolithic, at least not as harmoniously as Hogwarts' professors.

Professor Norman opened his mouth to say something, but the door to the conference room opened, and a delicate-looking girl quickly walked in.

Meredith, the strongest of Durmstrong's students, had a slightly cold look in her eyes and said:

"The situation is not good, and the condition of those students has started to deteriorate again."

"Damn."

Professor Norman jumped up from his chair, hurried out of the conference room, and turned back before going out:

"Mr. Davis, come with me."

Meredith turned and left, she was the one in charge of guarding the icicles, and she was here just to bring a message. Norlin stood up to keep up with them, and the other professors continued to discuss what to do in a fit of tension and anger.

"To what extent?"

On the way downstairs, Norlin couldn't help but ask.

"See for yourself."

Meredith didn't answer directly, her voice tinged with a hint of sinisterity.

Norlin's heart sank when he heard this, and he could guess that the situation should be a little more serious than he thought.

The ice cellar is located on the lowest level of the basement, and it is filled with the walls and floors of the ice that the school's predecessors have recovered from the Nordic snowfields. If you don't wear special clothing and touch it rashly, the contact area will die in an instant.

It's also a great place for the school to treasure a variety of valuable specimens or specific magical creatures.

Norlin followed Professor Norman and Meredith to the entrance of the ice cellar, and learned from them to put on the silver-white costumes hanging by the doorway, and wrap themselves tightly before carefully stepping into the ice cellar.

Along the way, he saw quite a few animal specimens hanging on the walls of the ice cellar, and even a few ice rats crawling quickly.

The fog was constantly filling the ice cellar, and even if his body was not exposed to the air, Norlin could feel the low temperature contained in the fog. He felt that in his mind, there were some mysterious runes cheering, which was the law perception that belonged to the law of ice.

It seems that if you study the law of ice here, you may be able to get twice the result with half the effort. Norin thought silently.

Professor Norman and Meredith walked silently into the ice cellar, stopping near the deepest point.

"A few minutes ago, their expressions suddenly became extremely painful, and then they became like this."

Meredith's voice came from the specially made costume.

Six icicles were placed upright against the wall, appearing in front of Norin's eyes. His heart was slightly cold, and his expression became more and more solemn.

The expression of the person in the icicle is distorted, the eyes are dull, the skin surface is so old as if time has passed for decades, and the originally beautiful blonde, brown, and red hair are all dyed with a thick layer of silver frost, and they look like an old man who is dying of old age and will die soon.

"How long has it been?"

Professor Norman stood still, as if a wave of anger rose from the soles of his feet and to the top of his head. His voice sounded colder than the fog in the ice cellar at this moment.

"Forty-two minutes passed from the time they entered the ice cellar until the situation deteriorated."

Meredith said sternly, her beautiful eyes fixed on the six icicles.

"It's time to decide, Professor Norman."

Norin looked at the old face in the icicle and whispered, "If it's any later, it may be too late." ”
