Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 296 The peaceful world

Obviously, Ajinbad had already guessed that Toby would say this, and he didn't look surprised at all.

"Then hurry up." He urged again: "You don't want me, an old man, to go back hungry, right? I don't want to miss dinner. It's also a pleasure to see those people greeting each other pretendingly."

From an outsider's point of view, it is difficult to imagine that the principal of Wagadu would say so about the British Minister of Magic and Dumbledore.

Almost no one knows that he usually speaks so straightforwardly, and when he is shown to outsiders, Ajinbad always looks like a kind and good gentleman.

But Toby must know him better than those people.

"Fortunately, you said these words in my office." He even seemed to be provoking: "Otherwise, I can't guarantee whether you can return to Wagadu smoothly."

In response, Akinbad said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I already knew that Dumbledore didn't like me. After all, who would be willing to let his students take refuge with outsiders? If Angela did this, I would also

She will be very unhappy, and I guess I need to find a chance to have a good talk with Ms. Maxim."

Olim Maxim is the headmistress of Beauxbatons Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She is famous for her unusually tall figure.

"Believe me, she won't." Toby said as if he remembered something: "It is difficult for Angela to get into Maxim's eyes. She prefers students who abide by the rules."

Ajinbad just smiled. He turned around and looked at the Mason Gate with sprouts blooming, and was amazed again.

There is not much preparation required. The only thing worth noting is to let Al guard the gate to avoid accidentally allowing outsiders to interfere with the Mason Gate. Even this task has become much easier now, because almost all the doors in the castle

Everyone went to Hogsmeade Village to participate in the celebration, and they probably won't be able to come back until evening.

After the oak door is opened, the deep vortex inside is revealed, which is connected to another world.

"I'll go in first." Toby said first, "Then you can just follow me."

He threw himself into the Mason Door, and it didn't take long for Akinbad, who then walked into the Mason Door, to see Tobi transformed into a horned water snake in the ancient magic office in another world.

"So this is what you look like on the other side of the door." Ajinbad said with interest: "No wonder you are willing to deal with me and have been unwilling to tell me what your patron saint is."

"My current appearance has nothing to do with the patron saint." Toby denied, the eyes in the snake's face stared at Ajinbad who had just come in: "But one thing you said is right, I am willing to be with someone like you.

And if you go to school at Hogwarts, I believe you will also become a very good Slytherin."

Ajinbad has long ceased to look like the amiable little old man, and now he has transformed into a rune snake.

But Harry is different, and unlike other runes, his three heads get along much better. The head that just spoke was also a critic's head, and what he said was not meant to be critical at all.

"Is there no way to hide my true self?" Ajinbad gradually understood the function of the Mason Gate. He looked at his body and said: "The patron saint is full of hope, and can only be regarded as a one-sided version of himself, so

It has nothing to do with who we are now, right?"

Judging from the expression on Tobi Snake's face, Ajinbad was absolutely right.

The patron saint is the extremely beautiful side of a wizard. Of course, it cannot be used to summarize the nature of this wizard, so when wizards enter the Mason Gate, they will become completely different from their patron saint.

Of course, the same is true for the devil.

Ajinbad said to Toby, who was still staring at him closely: "You have to understand this. As an old man who has lived for too long, it is normal for some inexplicable thoughts to occasionally appear in his mind.

To be honest, it’s a miracle that I don’t have Alzheimer’s.”

"If you get Alzheimer's disease, then I'm a prisoner of Azkaban." Toby said a not-so-funny joke.

Although they are both principals of their respective schools, Toby's attitude towards Akinbad is completely different from Dumbledore's. He is less restrained, but sometimes his words are more outrageous.

"There's nothing to see here." Toby turned around and said, "I'll take you around. Maybe next time you'll want to see another side of Wagadu. I don't know."

Two long snakes slid on the floor, and the sound of scales scraping across the floor was heard in the room. Toby skillfully used his tail to unscrew the door handle, and appeared in the wide corridor with Akinbad.

Akinbad roughly understood the reason for this change almost at the first moment - because the thousand-year history has brought Hogwarts together over the years.

"Wagadu is not bad either." He said abruptly, and Toby couldn't help but laugh, because the speaker was still the snake head of a critic.

It didn't take long before the same carriage pulled by the Yeqi came quietly. Sitting on the front of the carriage was the honest butt ghost, with the neat and new branch mask on his head. This scene was no different from before.

The only difference is that the whip Peeves held turned into a long, thin snake.

Toby recognized that the snake head was exactly the same as the snake head transformed into Tom Riddle's diary.

It seems that after his head was bitten off, he was picked up by Peeves. As for what happened in the middle, no one knows.

Now the snake looked dumb and stupid, not knowing whether it was alive or dead, and did not react at all to the arrival of its two similar species.

"Strange guests." The Sorting Hat looked at Akinbad, then turned to look at Toby: "And familiar guests who like to disturb people's purity, where are you going?"

Was the Sorting Hat blaming him for breaking into Mason's Gate last time?

"We." Before Toby could finish his words, Akinbad said in a slow tone: "I'm too old and can't bear to see such a cruel scene. I'd better forget about the carriage.

Just walk around casually."

Toby didn't believe Ajinbad's lies at all.

"Stop joking." He fussed, pointing at Tom Riddle's long snake and said: "Do you really think of him as one of your own kind?"

"Don't say that." Ajinbad finally revealed the truth: "Who knows if this is another trap of yours. I don't want to be used as a whip next time, specially used to drive your carriage. Although I am already alive.

It’s been a long time, but I haven’t lived enough yet.”

This sentence seems much more normal.

Toby had no choice but to wave his tail to let the carriage leave. He looked around and saw that a group of giants happened to be passing by. While avoiding being stepped on, Toby asked Akinbad: "Then where are you going? Whatever

Would you like to take a walk around the school?"

"No." Ajinbad said, "Take me outside to see the outside world."

it is as expected.

Compared to Hogwarts, what's even more strange about Mason Gate is that behind it is a whole magical world that is completely different from reality.

"Then let's go." Toby just wanted to end this destined short journey as soon as possible.

Along the way, they saw all kinds of weird things. In addition to two Quidditch teams that never seemed to stop playing, there was also a group of young house elves discussing magic with each other. Occasionally, some of them succeeded.

They will jump up with joy. In addition, there is a group of centaurs who refuse to move. Even if the giant passes by, they will encounter strong resistance from them. When Toby and Akinbad pass by, they stare at them closely.

, whoever dares to step in will stab them in the face.

When Toby saw this scene, it was hard not to think of House.

Now he finally understands that House has known about the existence of the Law of Magic Conservation for a long time. Because there are too many ancient magic items left, it is destined to squeeze the living space of today's magic creatures until one day it can no longer be concealed.

When the number of wizards drops to a dangerous level, they will start a war. But they do have an excuse to do so, because the giants are indeed dangerous, and the goblins have always been unwilling to be honest, always wanting to restore the glory of the goblin kingdom.

But House knew that the centaurs were powerless to resist the wizards, because they had magic wands, which was a power that no one could resist. So he simply withdrew from the ranks of the founders, leaving only a small area in the Forbidden Forest.

, so as to allow one's own tribe to continue.

This is his warning to future generations.

He knew that wizard supremacy was bound to come, and he had already witnessed pure-blood supremacy in Salazar Slytherin.

This seems to be a problem that can never be solved and can only be repeated from generation to generation.

Perhaps one day, wizards will hunt down Muggle-borns and turn them into devils again.

No one can say for sure, not even Toby can deny this possibility.

"You seem to have something on your mind." Ajinbad said abruptly.

Now they have left the castle and come to the black lake, which is as wide as a sea. They can vaguely see some giant creature stumbling in the misty distance. It is the giant squid in the black lake. It is also because

The reason for historical blessing has become extremely huge, perhaps bigger than the real Hogwarts Castle.

Toby controlled a stone to fly up and threw it in the opposite direction of the giant squid. It can be seen that the nature of the giant squid has not changed much. It quickly fell in love with this game and used its tentacles to throw the stone thrown by Toby.

Throwing it back repeatedly, it made a medium-sized deep hole in the grass, like a cannonball.

"This is really a good way to die together." Ajinbad commented.

Toby patted the end of his tail, and walked to an extremely huge oak tree by the black lake, staring at the Bowtruckles, who were about the same size as humans, and they were working hard to take care of this amazingly large tree.

"I just remembered the time when Angela and I first met you."

Toby was just talking nonsense. Akinbad obviously knew this, but he still responded patiently: "I remember too. At that time, I thought you were Angela's life-and-death enemy, and she just wanted to kill you.

, who else is here? Oh, by the way, it’s Al, your strange assistant.”

"Because I kicked her, Al also took away her things." Toby laughed and said: "This is not worth mentioning compared with my many archaeological experiences, but it is

It’s the longest one that lasted.”

Ajinbad looked up at the strange scene in the sky - there was no sun, only a pair of clocks emitting dazzling light.

Toby had already explained to him that he must rush back to the castle before the pointer pointed to the moon, otherwise something bad would happen.

"It's great to be young." He sighed: "There is love, hate, impulse and forgiveness."

"Huh?" Toby looked at him with strange eyes, and the expression on the snake's face looked blank.

"Did I understand it wrong?" Ajinbad asked: "Isn't it the wedding ring you gave Angela that Al took away?"

He didn't know about the scepter. Under Toby's instructions, Angela had kept it a secret. And Toby had never revealed to others the reason why Angela was so obsessed with the scepter.

"Why does everyone think so?" Toby asked in confusion: "Don't you have anything else to do besides falling in love?"

"Seriously." Akinbad said regretfully, "I knew ancient magic would affect you, but I didn't expect it would affect you so deeply. Haven't you noticed anything wrong with you?"

"What do you mean?" Toby asked curiously: "Is it that you suddenly go crazy occasionally, or is it more than Slytherin -"

"More Slytherin." Akinbad expressionlessly completed what Toby was about to say: "Don't you have anything else to say? Why do you always hold on to Slytherin? Even I can't bear it.

I can’t help but pity your founder.”

"He doesn't need you to pity him." Toby said disdainfully: "That old guy is a lunatic, a pervert with a twisted mentality. He may have even thought about killing all people like me."

"But why, Toby." Akinbad suddenly asked: "Since you don't like Slytherin, why are you proud of this academy?"

"Actually, I have also thought about turning this college into Heimo College when I have the opportunity." Toby said in a shocking voice: "Ever since I learned about the Forgetting Curse, I can't help but think like this. It's just that

Later, I found that there were too many targets that required magic, so I had to give up."

"Let's see who is more dangerous in Hogwarts." Akinbad said, shaking his head.

Once the topic came up with Dumbledore, Toby was speechless.

"It seems that you have a conflict." Ajinbad pointed out keenly: "And the conflict is still very deep, and it is difficult to resolve. Do you need my help? The name of Wagadu's principal is still of some use."

"No need." Toby said boredly: "It's time to go back, Principal Akinbad."

"Otherwise, the world will not be peaceful next."
