Chapter 64: Entering the Hall of Death and Stepping Through the Stone Arch
Exams and. The end of the exams also means that the 1995 school year is coming to an end.
The Hogwarts Quidditch match is over, and the Gryffindor House Quidditch team has won the Quidditch Cup with three crushing games without any suspense.
The other colleges were not surprised by this result, and they still had a semi-final anyway.
Hallie's scoring ability with fire crossbow arrows is too strong, and one of the three blocks has been broken, so take your head to play!
At this time, the people in the other houses had already formed a consensus, and it was a big deal to wait until Hallie graduated in two years, and the other houses would compete for the Quidditch Cup.
The difference between the houses in the House Cup is as huge as the Quidditch Cup, with Gryffindor leading the pack by a wide margin.
Unless the Weasley twins blow up the principal's office or Professor McGonagall's office in the last few days, Ravenclaw, who finished second, probably has no hope of making a comeback.
Seeing that everything was about to settle, the students didn't want to make any last effort, just lazily lying on the edge of the black lake and enjoying the sun.
Anyway, there were no classes for the next week, and the students were allowed to enjoy life in the castle as much as they wanted.
Especially the seventh-grade students, who are about to leave the castle forever.
Unless they can come back to teach, they probably won't be back at Hogwarts again.
So in these last days, even the Weasley twins didn't play pranks or sell products to their heart's content, but walked around the castle, caressing every statue, every secret passage entrance and exit, wanting to imprint these best memories in their minds forever.
And Hallie finally got everything ready.
The ticket to Fort Source has been researched and is ready to be used;
After being promoted to the Doomsday Witch, the Ageless Witch's resurrection ability has been further improved, and all the additional resurrection points have been arranged;
Batches of mirror clones and wand doubles were also made, leaving Sirius with half the gold galleons he had won at the Quidditch World Cup.
This alarmed Sirius, who had always been insensitive to wealth, not because he was afraid of Harley's spending, but because he was afraid that Harley was spending money indiscriminately, such as indulging in activities such as gambling.
And after learning that all the materials that Harley bought were potions, Sirius directly waved his hand, indicating that Harley wanted to spend as much as he wanted, and that he should not be polite to him!
In short, Harley is now all ready, and tonight she is going to retrieve the uniqueness and the other two extraordinary characteristics, and start preparing the potion digestion while researching ways to accommodate the uniqueness and promote the sequence to zero.
…………
In the evening, a fiery red sunset covered half of the sky, as if the whole sky was on fire.
The clouds in the sky are constantly converging, like a city in the sky.
In the face of this beautiful scenery, many students didn't even eat dinner and ran out early to watch.
Hermione naturally didn't miss such a beautiful view, and pulled Harley to the Black Lake.
However, I don't know if it's her delusion, Hermione always thinks that Harley doesn't seem to be in a good mental state, and seems depressed, or lacked energy.
However, when Hermione looked closely, she couldn't find any direct evidence.
She had to think that she had stayed up too long for the ordinary wizard level exam some time ago, and as soon as she relaxed after the exam, she hallucinated.
Ministry of Magic, Department of Mysteries.
It was the rush hour for the end of the day, a large number of Ministry of Magic employees disappeared into the fireplace, and the dignitaries left the Ministry through a room dedicated to allowing apparitions to manifest.
The research freaks of the Department of Mysteries have also put down their work and are ready to have a casual dinner before returning to continue their research on their favorite magical mysteries.
When the entire Department of Mysteries fell silent, Harley's figure slowly emerged.
This time she wore a black dress with a fussy pattern, a thin black veil like she had done when she returned, as if she were attending someone's funeral.
Harley had a clear goal, and instead of trying around like she did last time, she made a beeline for the Hall of Death.
The Hall of Death is large, much larger than any room except the Hall of Prophecy.
The room was very dimly lit, and only three candles had been lit when Harley entered. The candle emits a dim glow that seems to go out when blown hard, and the cold air fills the room
The room is rectangular in shape, with a downward depression in the middle, forming a large stone pit about twenty feet deep.
The room was surrounded by tiered stone benches, and it was not known who they were for, and who would have the leisure to come here and get close to death.
At this time, Hallie was standing at the top of the stone steps between the two stools, and the stone steps under her feet extended down at a steep angle, making the whole seem to be a circular theater.
However, there is no curtain or carpet on the stage of the theater, only a high stone platform with a stone arch erected on it.
The arch looked unusually old and dilapidated, with an air of decay and death, as if it could fall down with a breeze.
There were no walls around the arch, except for a tattered black draperide hanging in the direction of the door to the room.
Harley didn't immediately descend the steps, but paced slowly along the top, admiring the stone arches from all directions.
There doesn't seem to be anything special about it, and it's very ordinary in every direction.
You can even see the black curtain on the front of it, as if it were just an ordinary stone arch, just a decoration
But if you really get close to it, no one will think it's ordinary.
When viewed from the front, this stone arch exudes an eerie aura from the inside out.
Although Harley closed the door as soon as she entered the room, the whole room became a confined space, without even a hint of breeze.
But the black curtain was still fluttering gently, as if an invisible hand was gently teasing it.
Entering the room at the same time, Harley heard the faint sound of summoning and shouting coming from the stone arch.
Harley had now become an Archangel-level Assassin, and hearing had always been a compulsory course for Assassins. Hallie's hearing had been raised to a very terrifying level at this time.
But even so, Harley couldn't make out what the voice was saying from inside the door.
But when she heard this voice, Harley subconsciously felt that it was like the voice of her father and mother.
Hallie temporarily lifted the Occlumency and turned off the hypnosis in her head.
She closed her eyes and surrendered her body to instinct.
Loud footsteps rang out in the room, and the sound echoed through the empty room.
When Harley opened her eyes again, she had unknowingly arrived at the stone arch.
"Have you been luring me in?" Hallie's left hand was covered in a layer of turquoise light, gently caressing the stone arch.
There was nothing unusual about the arch, but the summoning was a little stronger, "Can only certain people be summoned?" Those who have loved ones dying in front of their eyes? ”
Harley didn't rush to break through the tattered black draperies, but carefully studied the frame of the stone arch.
Her hand gently stroked every trace on it, feeling the lines carved on it.
Harley inexplicably thought of the previous dossier, and thought of the belief that some researchers in the Department of Mysteries believed that the Hall of Love might have been affected by the stone arch of the Hall of Death, and that it had undergone unpredictable changes.
This idea does not seem to be groundless, and pure love should not lead to death.
"Is the essentia power already showing signs of spreading outward?" Hallie shook her head.
The door to the room creaked open, paused for a few seconds, and then slammed shut.
"Hedwig," Harley didn't look back, casually throwing out a magic mirror, "It's up to you." ”
Hedwig took the mirror in her mouth, turned her head into the feather, and her eyes were full of worry.
It is so in line with the audience approach, it can be said that it plays the role of the audience all the time.
But even so, Hedwig had only just been promoted to a demigod manipulator in Sequence 4 by now, and she hadn't digested much of the potions.
In this kind of game above the level of the earthly angels in the second sequence, an ordinary demigod can be said to have no effect.
So Hedwig could only take the magic mirror and wait anxiously outside the stone arch.
"Don't worry." Although she didn't look back, Harley still felt Hedwig's anxiety.
She turned around and picked up the little snow owl and stroked Hedwig's feathers.
"I've left so many resurrection points, nothing will happen."
"But ......"
Hedwig opened her mouth, but stopped talking.
Harley knew what it was worried about, after all, the city of calamity she was heading to, the highest point that the witch could reach through this path.
After dying there, can the Ageless Witch's eerie resurrection ability really take effect? No one knows for sure.
"It's really risky, but I have to go." Hallie sighed,
"To put it mildly, the initial recovery will definitely lead to the destruction and rebirth of the earth, and if he absorbs enough channels, even the entire universe may be reincarnated again, even if I am Sequence One, I can't escape."
"Speaking of the world, there are my friends, relatives, and people I love, how can I give it up?"
A series of complicated expressions flashed across Hedwig's face, and finally she whimpered twice and rubbed Harley's chest:
"Sister Hallie, you don't want to die inside."
"Don't say such frustrating things." Hallie flicked Hedwig's head hard, "What do you think?" I'm so lucky, I'm sure I'll come back alive. ”
"That'...... I wish you good luck. ”
Hedwig flapped her wings and flew to the farthest corner of the room from the stone arch, and stood against the wall.
"Psychological invisibility" looms over that corner, making it impossible to notice Hedwig's presence.
Harley sighed again and turned to face the black curtains.
The black curtains shook more and more often, and the voices inside became clearer and louder, as if beckoning to Hallie, drawing her in.
Harley reached out and gently lifted the curtain, stepping neatly over the stone arch.
The curtain fell, and the bottom was re-shielded.
Once again, the Hall of Death fell into an eternal dead silence, with only the candle flame beating leisurely.
…………
Outside the Hall of Death.
At Newmengard Castle, Dumbledore was drinking mead with Grindelwald, reminiscing about the past.
There are no towers struck by lightning, no silence raging on the battlefield, only two old men chatting, as if returning to the original summer.
At that time, they were young and in high spirits, and they were preparing to embark on a journey to trace the traces of death, challenge the god of death, and charge towards eternal life.
And below the castle, I don't know how deep it is in the underground space, and there are faint waves on the chaotic sea.
In the passage to the Sea of Chaos, in the cracks of the stones, countless gem-like crystal clear seeds emerged, and quickly took root and sprouted, blooming brilliant flowers;
In the former Azkaban station, countless seawaters are still pouring into the deep pits, never stopping.
In the face of this strange phenomenon, the Ministry of Magic could only deduce that some kind of magical natural landscape had probably been produced here, so it chose to move Azkaban to another location.
Above the pit, a broom hovers out of thin air, with a magic mirror attached to it;
The centaur colony, the unicorn colony, the Black Lake merfolk colony, there are more things in each passage, either crystalline seeds, or mirrors as small as petals, or wands lying on the ground like weeds;
The Alps, once the home of giants.
"Hallie" sat on a towering tree, shaking her feet.
She held a mirror in her hand, and there were plenty of freshly baked stand-in wands scattered around her.
On the ground in front of the tree, there are four loaves of bread, which are located in the four corners of the square. In the center of the bread was a piece of parchment with four sentences written in Chinese:
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Venerable."
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun."
"Fusheng Xuanhuang God."
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun."
In the Muggle world, many Muggle astronomers or astronomy enthusiasts were excited at this time.
They suddenly discovered that planets can also glow!
At this time, in addition to the moon, the other planets in the solar system in the sky also radiate various colors. This unprecedented and beautiful sight can make the practitioners involved crazy.
Of course, most of the existing astronomical telescopes are not advanced enough, and can only be vaguely seen; Occasionally, there are a few particularly advanced telescopes, which are also inexplicably damaged when they are ready to be used for inexplicable reasons.
This saddened the astronomers, but what they didn't know was that it had saved them from the disaster.
Because those shining stars are like eyes, casting their eyes on the distant earth.
Their eyes were cold, without any humanity, as if they were waiting for something.
