Kamar Taj, secret space.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
His long fingers tapped lightly on the wooden table, making a clicking sound.
A dark golden book was mostly opened and placed on the desk.
One can vaguely see the picture of a large number of dragons swimming on the cover.
A large number of strange words appeared on the white page spread out on the front.
These words seem to be constantly changing, forming line-like patterns.
If Wanda saw it here, she would be very surprised.
This book was the dragon book she had seen before.
The white page that was originally in her eyes now had a large number of dragon characters floating on it.
One can only receive information from books through the magic treasure made from the dragon's eyes.
"Salazar, from the book, the dragon clan is much stronger than the current wizards. They all failed and are now reduced to magic materials."
"Will your efforts be effective?"
Next to the desk made of solid wood, a transparent figure floats.
The gloomy face, paired with the dark green wizard robe with a large number of black basilisk patterns tattooed on it, highlights his gloomy temperament.
His image is simply synonymous with the living black wizard.
And his appearance would make any Hogwarts student exclaim.
He is Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts.
Faced with Lockhart's question, Slytherin said calmly: "History has always been determine by the winner. The book will only mention how powerful the dragon clan was and how many heroes they had. It will not record how many enemies the dragons had, how chaotic they were internally, how their system worked."
Salazar's tone was cold, mixed with a hint of disdain.
"As the former master of dragon, Gryffindor and I have analyzed the current materials. Their failure is ultimately due to their pride and their decadent, backward and rigid population system."
"Faced with the mysterious and unpredictable world will, they are proud to think that they can easily defeat it and dominate the entire world. Even the strongest Dragon King thinks he can influence it, manipulate it, and control it."
"Salazar, then you are sure that the remaining methods can cope with world consciousness."
Not understanding what Salazar had said, Lockhart interrupted and asked.
As for Salazar, after hearing this, he was silent for a moment, his voice was low, and his tone was no longer as positive as before.
"Compared with the dragon, we are definitely different in all aspects, but the only different thing is that we have self-awareness." Salazar said, his voice was a little low and a little lonely.
"I, Godric, Rowena, and Helga, have never thought about fighting against the world's will, let alone overcoming the world's will."
"Because we know it's basically impossible to succeed."
"Born in the world, live in the world, no matter how magical the magic is, it is still within the scope of the world."
"We have repeatedly analyzed, reviewed, and discussed, but we have never seen the possibility of defeating the world's will."
"but..."
A single word made Slytherin's original lonely voice become a little complicated.
The complexity lies in the fact that he doesn't know whether his choice is correct, revealing his confusion about the future.
"We believe that wizard civilization will decline, but it will never directly be like the goblins."
"What we have to do is leave the legacy of wizards, the legacy of magic, and the legacy of Hogwarts."
"When civilization declines, we will turn into fire and ignite the flame for wizard civilization to become strong again."
When talking about Wizard, Salazar's tone became a little passionate.
He seemed genuinely excited about his actions.
And Lockhart, although he heard the purpose of the four founders of Hogwarts again, he couldn't help but feel a kind of admiration in his heart.
This admiration stems from their dedication to wizards, like Salazar voluntarily using a Horcrux and being alive for thousands of years.
The so-called immortality is not for one's own ambitions, but to continue the fire of civilization.
How can people not feel admiration for such a noble and great sacrifice?
"So Salazar, can you let me meet the other three founders?"
"I admire your ideas very much."
In the face of Lockhart's praise, no, it should be said that he was watching. Even though his body was transparent, you could still clearly see him curling his lips.
"Don't be delusional, Lockhart, I won't tell you where Godric and the others sleep."
"I can just follow you alone. Unless I see the possibility of truly getting through this disaster, I will not reveal the strength we have left to survive the destruction of magical civilization."
Well, if Hogwarts Castle is not the legacy of the Salazar Slytherin family.
Salazar would not choose to reside in Hogwarts.
Not to mention meeting Lockhart.
Salazar chose a method to stay alive in order to pass on the wizarding civilization, and the other three founders also chose thew same.
And just as Slytherin left behind the power of the Basilisk, the other founders naturally had some of their own methods to leave and protect their legacy.
This was a big temptation for Lockhart.
Hearing Salazar's firm tone, Lockhart laughed and said, "I told you about the existence of the new world. As long as we can stabilize in the New World, the crisis of the collapse of wizard civilization will not exist. And in the new world, although I have just gained a firm foothold, now is the time when I need strength."
Yes, as long as I can become the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar Taj, the so-called crisis will no longer exist.
Lockhart thought silently in his mind.
Slytherin quietly took a few steps back and said in a wary voice: "I understand what you mean, Lockhart. However, I have never been to the New World, and I don't know if there is any problem in the New World. If there is a problem in the new world that could destroy the entire wizarding civilization, I can't let them deal with that. It's impossible for gamble you with the thousands of years of planning and legacy I've accumulated at Hogwarts."
"I need reassurance!"
"You have to show me a clear reassurance!"
At this point, Salazar's voice couldn't help but rise, and his tone revealed the determination that he would never back down.
It seems that if Lockhart can't give him the reassurance or result he wants to see.
He would not agree to any of Lockhart's conditions.
Lockhart couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw that his yet another attempt had reached an impasse.
Sure enough, it's not that easy to extract the last bit of Hogwart's power.
As for the Marvel world, it faces a crisis of annihilation almost once a year, if Salazaar sees it.
He is afraid this guy is going to give up the idea of entering the new world as soon as possible.
Continue to stay at the world of Harry Potter, indulge in Hogwarts, and continue to prepare for the so-called wizard's fire plan.
To be honest, if it was the original Slytherin, with the character of the dark wizard, Lockhart would be confident that he could convince the other party.
But what was in front of him was Salazar, a Horcrux specially created by original Salazar Slytherin.
He has only one mission, and that is to pass on magic and Hogwarts.
Therefore, his determination is beyond ordinary people's imagination. Even if Lockhart forces him, the other party would rather destroy himself than let Lockhart succeed.
"Salazar, when are you going to be resurrected? You need resources. I can prepare them all for you. The resurrection ceremony can be started at any time." After his own thoughts were seen through, Lockhart changed the subject and said: "I believe I can make you your strength quickly returned to its peak."
Yes, once resurrected, the soul will be complete.
By then, although the mission is important, it will not be taken to such extremes.
Horcrux itself is a magic that requires extreme emotional separation. Voldemort chose death, while Slytherin chose to inherit the mission of wizarding civilization.
"No need for the moment." Slytherin replied immediately.
Immediately afterwards, he seemed to feel that he had something to ask of Lockhart after all, and it would be a bit bad to refuse directly just now, so he opened his mouth to explain.
"I'll be resurrected when I get to the new world."
"The state of resurrection is a state where the soul is highly interactive with the world. It can further connect with the consciousness of the world. At that time, I can help you check some details of the new world."
Well, let's see if I can use the ritual to get a glimpse of the fate of the new world.
If the crisis the new world faces in the future is stronger than the world in which we live.
It would be better to go to sleep and continue back to Hogwarts.
After all, My mission is more important.
Of course, another reason is that with the help of the resurrection ceremony, the soul can cleanse itself of the alien atmosphere when the soul is highly interacting with the consciousness of the world.
As a top wizard who has specialized in studying world consciousness, Salazar thinks that he knows a lot about world consciousness.
Although the world consciousness does not have the same rationality as the wizard, it is still very sensitive when facing dangerous things. It can only be said to be overly sensitive.
It will do its best to fight back against anything that threatens it.
Like an animal, or like a child.
Sensitive, suspicious, and possessing huge power.
Slytherin did not believe that the new world would not react to things coming from another world.
So he wanted to be the first to cleanse the alien atmosphere.
This also made him curious. Lockhart should have traveled through it time and again to gain a foothold in the new world.
Wasn't he targeted by the consciousness of the world?
How Lockhart did it, and even brought his own students into the new world, Slytherin was a little curious.
This is also the reason why he has certain confidence in Lockhart.
Otherwise, why would he help Lockhart make a deal with Dumbledore and come to Kamar Taj himself?
"Lockhart, what do you think of the news coming from Hogwarts?"
After briefly explaining the reason for the delay in resurrection, Salazar turned the topic to Lockhart.
When he came to Kamar Taj and exchanged about world consciousness with Lockhart, he was also very aware of Kamar Taj's strength and Lockhart's attitude towards his students.
how to say?
Slytherin clearly sensed that Lockhart was trying his best to accumulate his own strength.
He even focused on Hogwarts and the inheritance of people like the founders.
He is even more attentive to his own students.
Great teachers provide guidance and resources are good, basically reaching the point where everything is answered.
Even in order to familiarize the wizards with the power of dreams in advance, Lockhart gave the authority of the dream world to Ian Wanda and others in turn.
Help them become familiar with, even further grow and improve their own strength.
It can be said that being a teacher and reaching the level of Lockhart is really enough.
Their treatment as students is enviable to all wizards and even unimaginable.
but
Lockhart has paid such a price, and he is afraid that the tasks these students will undertake in the future will not be any lighter.
Thoughts flashed across his mind, Salazar still kept his original smile, as if watching Lockhart's show.
Lockhart's face darkened and he seemed a little uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I will remember this favor from Hogwarts. It won't be so easy for him to hide this time."
Hogwarts, deep in the Forbidden Forest.
In the depths of the Forbidden Forest, there are dense grass and trees. Even bright sunlight will be blocked by thick branches and leaves.
Darkness and humidity are eternal topics.
And in a deep depression, caves of all sizes are densely packed inside.
What makes people feel extremely uncomfortable is that dense crowds of eight-eyed spiders can be seen wandering back and forth everywhere.
Many Acromantula ran into the cave.
Their eight legs were waving continuously, very fast, and they seemed to be in a hurry.
The timid ones ran back to the cave and nestled in the darkness they were most familiar with and the safest.
Click! Click!
hiss! hiss! hiss!
More and more Acromantulas ran back to the cave. The fangs at the Acromantula's mouth kept colliding and making hissing sounds, which seemed to be conveying certain messages.
Not long after, a huge Acromantula walked out of the largest cave.
This spider is larger and more conspicuous than the surrounding Acromanthus.
After seeing this, other spiders pressed their bodies to the ground to show their submission.
This is the king of the Acromantulas, or in other words, their common father - Aragog!
hiss! hiss! hiss! (Don't worry, kids, this is home, a safe place.)
hiss! hiss! hiss! (There are plenty of family here, including your brothers and sisters.)
Aragog hissed, seeming to calm the panicked Acromantulas.
hiss! hiss! hiss! (We won't let those damn wizards go.)
hiss! hiss! hiss! (Don't be afraid, we are the kings in this forest, everything is our prey, be brave)
Aragog encouraged his children to become brave. The growth of the tribe requires heroic warriors, not cowardly wastes.
But he didn't notice that there were several figures in a shadow outside the cave.
"Vera, you are so amazing, you found their lair so easily." Wanda stared at Aragog in the center of the cave, and praise Vera.
"It's easy, all you need is to add a few drops of tracking potion to these spiders, it's impossible to find their nest." Vera said with a smile, as if she enjoyed Wanda's praise.
"Are you planning to kill all of these eight-eyed spiders?" Hermione next to her lowered her voice, but her words revealed unbearability.
As if aware of the attitude behind her, before waiting for Vera to reply, Wanda on the side spoke directly and said with a smile: "Of course not, Hermione."
"We're just asking him to move. It's just that if there are some spiders that are unwilling to move, we still have to do some cleaning work for the safety of this forest."
At this point, Wanda's tone became cold.
And Hermione is not stupid, so she naturally understands the meaning behind Wanda's words.
He turned around to get Harry's support, but when he saw Harry's cold or even approving look, her throat suddenly seemed to be blocked. She didn't know what to say, so she could only take a step back and stop talking.
"Let's do it. The Acromantula is almost back. The remaining are unnecessary." Harry said.
He was in a very good mood just now after receiving two useful spells.
Therefore, he is not opposed to helping Kamar Taj.
"Petrificus Totalus!"
Seeing Remy nod in agreement, Harry waved his wand and cast the spell.
Of course, he did not cast a fatal black magic, but a petrifying spell. After all, he was helping Kamar Taj's wizard capture these Acromantulas.
At the same time, Remy also started to wave the wand in his hand, and large purple flames spurted out and fell on the ground.
As if there was a spiritual being on duty, it automatically burned along a certain track on the ground, and soon a circle of purple flames was built around the cave.
The moment the purple fire circle formed, slender purple fire pillars began to suddenly appear and surround the fire circle.
In less than ten seconds, a cage formed by purple fireworks appeared.
After Harry saw this, he silently waved his wand again and cast a spell. A large amount of dark green gas swayed with the magic path, continuously spurting out and flowing into the flame cage.
The Acromantulas trapped in the cage were so panicked by the scorching flames that they ran around, and some even hid in caves.
But then, the gas that enter the cave hit the Acromantula, they trembled and became weak after just the slightest contact.
For only five or six seconds, his whole body remained motionless, as if dead.
Seeing this scene, Ian, who was originally ready to take action, silently withdrew his wand.
For this scene, two people are enough.
At this moment, Aragog, the Acromantula King, looked at the flame cages around him and the children lying motionless on the ground.
He was angry.
These are all its children, these damn wizards want to wipe out their entire group in one fell swoop.
Then
From Aragog's mouth, a voice came, a voice that revealed anger and madness.
"Powerful dark wizard, I have completed what you told me. All these damn little wizards are here."
"Kill, I want you to kill them all. I want them to be bury with my children!"
