HP Approaches the Magic World

"Principal Helga must you go?"

Peeves was confused at first, and then confused again.

"Then why don't you ask the principal directly? She will definitely know the reason."

Jon was silent.

If he could ask Helga, would he still be sitting here?

This was not because Helga was asleep. He couldn't find it even if he tried to look for it. He could only wait for Helga to wake up and come to him. Plus, he might not be sleeping when he had time.

, the two of them basically don’t have any consistent time to communicate, is that why he seems to have no clue?

Unless Helga wakes up completely from her slumber, Jon can ask Helga the questions he wants to know anytime and anywhere.

It was just like Helga before she fell asleep.

But at that time, I don’t know how long it will take to wait, and Jon definitely can’t count on it now.

He couldn't possibly sleep in bed for months without waking up and waiting for Helga's call, right?

"That makes sense."

Peeves nodded, then tilted his head and thought for a while: "If Principal Helga insists on you going to the Dragon Soul Crypt, then I can think of a possibility."

He pointed below: "When Hogwarts was first created, a lot of underground defense facilities were built underground in the entire castle. These facilities were mainly used to defend against the sudden attack of the Holy See, but after the war,

It has never been used again, and most of the defense facilities now are just used as secret passages."

"But the fundamental effectiveness of these defense facilities has not been canceled. Although the castle no longer responds to my call and has fallen into a deep sleep, those defense facilities are still operating freely. If Principal Helga insists that you go

If the Dragon Soul Crypt did this, it can only be because the principal placed something in the Dragon Soul Crypt when the school was being built."

"for example?"

Jon asked doubtfully.

"How do I know? I was not born when the principal and the others built the school. Besides, even if I existed at that time, there is no way to know these secrets. You have to know that the castle itself exists, and what was built later was only the surrounding defenses.

fortifications, and underground defenses.”

In other words, only the secret passages and crypts underground were built.

The melody of tunnel warfare could not help but appear in Jon's mind, but this was not the time to think about it at this moment, so he quickly threw these brainwashing melodies out of his mind.

"But among the people who were imprisoned later, there shouldn't be any news left. What is the special place in the crypt? Do you have no memory at all?"

"Huh? Sir, I'm just a ghost, not a machine. Don't think of me as having such great powers, okay?"

Peeves always grins when he speaks, as if he is joking, making it difficult for people to distinguish his emotions at the moment.

Of course, he didn't have any emotions when he said these words.

It's just a very ordinary narrative.

"There is no record of these things, and I have no relevant memories. In fact, I am not the only one doing these confidential things. It's just that as time goes by, I am the only one left. Didn't you already know that?

This castle is conscious. It is like what you call an alchemical life. It can actively do some things. In fact, Hogwarts Castle is responsible for holding prisoners and other things.

At that time, I was only responsible for the integration and recording of information and intelligence, and I did not need to be responsible for handling these things at the same time."

Jon expressed understanding and then scratched his head.

This is difficult to do.

If there was no way to figure out what was on the third floor of the Dragon Soul Crypt, he wouldn't know the purpose of Helga asking him to go there.

Anyway, it is definitely not just about completing the last step of blood purification. After all, although the final step of blood purification is a bit more noisy, it can be done anywhere.

Otherwise, Jon wouldn't have found a place like the training ground.

As long as there is a protective barrier to block the changes in sound and light and shadow, it will be fine.

"Although I don't know what you are going to do yet, I have an idea. Do you want to listen to it?"

Peeves suddenly said.

Jon was naturally willing to listen, and he nodded quickly: "I would like to hear the details and tell you."

"It's like this. In the records of Hogwarts, there was a wizard ritual called 'Transformation'. It's like a snake shedding its skin. The function of this ritual is to make your whole body look brand new from the inside out.

, including but not limited to promotion in various senses, I think it may be of great help to people like you who take the traditional promotion path, so maybe Principal Helga means this."

"Transformation?"

Jon began to brainstorm in his mind, frantically searching for information about this ritual.

But unfortunately, nothing was found.

In Helga's teachings to him, such a ceremony was never mentioned.

"It's normal that you don't know." Peeves looked at Jon's confused look and said, "This ritual is a magical ritual such as sacrifice to evil gods. You know what sacrifice is? It's the ancient evil wizard who uses

A special sacrifice in which innocent lives are dedicated to the evil god in exchange for power."

"But Ancestor Helga probably won't let me use this kind of ritual. She should be the one who is most opposed to these."

"Don't be so serious. I said this is just a ritual. This kind of thing is always used to be good and evil to be evil. It is okay not to use human life to sacrifice, as long as some other magic items are used instead.

In the end, the result is the same, but of course, the efficiency and extent of improvement may not be that high if no human life is used."

Peeves answered Jon's questions very dedicatedly: "This is the biggest possibility I can think of at present, because the dragon skeleton in the Dragon Soul Crypt itself was built according to the ritual method. It was originally built to make Si

The founder of Letlin took the last step - you know that the living space for wizards in that era was very small, and the power of the Holy See was extremely scary. Although for some reasons, in the end, this thing was not used, but it can still be used.

"

"are you sure?"

Jon didn't really believe it. After all, this matter involves his own life, so he always needs to be serious.

"And you just said that there is a barrier there."

"Yes, of course there is. The protective barrier around the school, the Sleeping Dragon Barrier, and the general control center are there."
