Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1709 The Secret Word of the Goddess (Fifty-Four)

  Severus came to the phone in the library, and just about to pick up the handset, the phone rang on its own.

   "Hello." He said into the microphone.

   "Good night, Mr. Snape." Lyle Meyer said on the other end of the phone, "Please forgive me for being rude, your friend is with us."

   "I know." Severus said calmly, "Let Irma answer the phone."

   "I don't think this can be done. She is not in the manor where we met last time." Lyle said, "Please don't worry, she will be properly taken care of and no one will be injured."

   "How do I trust you?" Severus asked.

   "I think you have no choice but to believe in me now." Lyle said, "and I can provide you with more help than the lady looking up aimlessly."

   "What can you tell me?" Severus asked.

   "It depends on how much you know? Feel free to ask if you have any questions." Lyle said in the tone of a tutor.

   "What happened in 1870?" Severus asked.

   "About what?" Lyle asked.

   "Aurora." Severus said.

Lyle was silent for a while and said, "At that time, a war between Prussian and French was going on, and a group of Prussian spies got into the city. I don't know if their original purpose was to spy on intelligence, they discovered those secrets accidentally, or they were originally directed at those secrets. They came, anyway, they caused trouble. In order to prevent Paris from falling into a greater crisis, someone made up for their fault."

  "What's the reason for the dry lake in Monsuri Park?" Severus asked.

   "That's another mistake." Lyle said, "the traveler from Egypt polluted the water in the Mongsuri Reservoir for revenge."

   "Who is it?" Severus asked.

   "How did you know Aurora?" Lyle asked.

   "I read a man's diary." Severus said, "He also saw a gorgeous hearse, thinking it belonged to Dumas."

   "Why does he think that?" Lyle asked.

  "There is a letter h surrounded by silver stars on the hearse."

"I don't understand why he associates this car with Dumas. The first letter of Dumas's name is the letter d, and the handwritten letters of his grandfather's surname are not this. They don't want to inherit the noble grandfather's surname, instead Inherited the surname of the slave girl's grandmother." Lyle said softly.

   "Wait..." Severus recalled carefully, "He received the news of Dumas's death on December 5 on December 29, and he saw the hearse on December 5."

   "So he didn't say that he thought the hearse was the funeral of Dumas, right?" Lyle asked.

   "No," Severus said.

"In French, h is silent. It was even kicked out of the alphabet once. Adding h back to the alphabet is to express foreign words. In order to meet the needs of letter combinations, some people say that its return to the alphabet is a commemorative return. "

   "What?" Severus asked, confused.

   "That is a dumb or imaginary sound. Only when you breathe in, it will leave a place for it, like this." Lyle breathed out on the phone, "You can understand it as existence and nonexistence."

   "So he lied?" Severus said.

   "Is he a credible person?" Lyle asked.

   Severus did not answer.

  The novelist Victor Hugo is a world-class celebrity, but is he credible?

   "December 5 was after the aurora, I thought everyone was asleep at that night," Lyell said.

   "Someone used an onyx cup to raise money in October, and now that cup is in my hand." Severus said, "it was once buried in a sewer."

   "You don't have to worry about that. If I remember correctly, it should have been full of water. It will disappear unless it touches a mechanism on the wall." Lyle said.

   "Now it's the other way around. When they found it, the canal was dry. A torrent rushed out and one of me was missing." Severus said.

"Who?"

   "A Muggle boy."

   "He's not here with me." Lyle said.

   "I know." Severus said softly, "You don't have to be so nervous."

   "You don't seem to be in a hurry to find him." Lyle said.

   "He is a man and can take care of himself." Severus said coldly.

  "Do you really think that, or is it because he is a Muggle?" Lyle asked.

   "Those Prussian spies, what happened to them?" Severus asked.

  "They disappeared, as if they never existed." Lyle said, "Do you want to be like them? Young man."

   "I'm dead." Severus said coldly.

   "So I am talking to the dead now?"

   "I have the same question, am I talking to the living or the dead now?" Severus replied not to be outdone.

  Lyle burst out laughing.

  "We exist and don't exist, just like the h in French." Lyle smiled and said, "Only breath proves that we are alive (only breath proves weareliving)."

   "People who fall asleep can breathe, but that doesn't mean they are alive." Severus said solemnly.

"I believe that boy has his own destiny, just like what you are experiencing now, no one will stop you, because this is destiny, but they will block the way you go after you leave, and you need to find your way back. "

   "That house elf..."

   "It doesn't have such a powerful power, it can always open a channel for you." Lyle said, "And do you believe them?"

   Severus smiled.

   "You can force them to serve you, but you'd better find a backup plan." Lyle said, "Do you know it in your heart?"

  ‘Have you heard the sound of destruction? ’

  Severus seemed to hear someone behind him say that it was said by a man in a gorgeous coat in the church of Our Lady of Flowers.

   "The door will open when I really need it." Severus said.

"There are many people who choose to stay in that world by mistake and will not return. It is the same for you. Because of the nature of work, I can go to a world that ordinary people can’t go, but I’m not like you, male. Wug, this is your talent."

   Severus did not answer.

   "He is very jealous of you, you have everything he yearns for." Lyle said after a moment, "Are you jealous of him?"

   "Why should I be jealous of a Muggle?"

   "He is the emperor, and you are just a slug player." Lyle said.

  Severus smiled again. "The potion is indeed a ‘joke’ for some people."

  "Are you not afraid to be someone else's laughing stock?" Lyle asked.

"I spent my entire life to build my reputation, but in the end I found that all my efforts can be crushed lightly with a finger of someone else. He took everything from me. There is only one woman left for me, and she will come to me. It’s just like water. I didn’t know how precious she was until I was walking in the desert.” Severus said, “Lily is a mirage. She is dead. I saw her when I was dying. Eyes, she has forgiven me."

   "Is this real or is it your illusion?" Lyle asked.

   "That boy, he has his mother's eyes." Severus said, "No matter how gorgeous a hearse is, it shouldn't hold his body."

  "Do you believe that hearse exists?" Lyle asked.

   "It depends on what you think, sacrifice." Severus said, "Do you believe that is a real event or an illusion?"

   "What else do you want to ask?" Lyle asked.

   "When I have a question, I will contact you." Severus said, "You just need to be by the phone."

  Severus hung up after speaking.

"Do you know what the saddest thing about my mother is?" Severus looked at the phone and said, "It's not my dad who yelled at her, but she was always on the phone, waiting for him to remember Just called her, he was already with other women at that time."

  No one answered his words.

   Later Severus left the table and returned to the table occupied by Mrs. Pins. He scanned the manuscript on the table bathed in orange light.

   "Let me see what you found, Irma." He whispered, then raised his wand.
