The Death Knell

It doesn't matter if they are on the same road or not. They are all dead anyway. The choices made by the four masters in the past have become history, and there is not much to say.

Things went much smoother than expected. I don't know whether the transaction conditions proposed by Su Ming were really tempting, or whether the name of the Ministry of Magic had enough credibility. In short, when it came to taking away many sealed emotions, everyone except Ah Except for three slight objections, the other three masters agreed after a short period of thinking.

They also added the rest of the story of the transfer student four hundred years ago, including how that child, as a user of ancient magic, fought against a bad goblin who wanted to obtain the emotional inheritance and eliminate human beings, and how he strengthened the emotional seal after the battle. At that time, he sacrificed himself in the treasure house.

It was another classic move to leave the Ministry of Magic and go it alone. If he had been replaced at that time, the transfer student would not have died.

During the battle, none of the four portraits placed here were seen. They only knew that the transfer student and a professor named Fitz went to the sealed treasure house deeper underground and never came up again.

Afterwards, Principal Black came and talked about it with the four portraits. It was said that the bad goblin had absorbed all the emotions and turned into a monster dragon. Although many Hogwarts professors wanted to join the class, He was born, but was held back by the goblin army under the bad guy.

In the end, the transfer student and Professor Fitz fought against a super monster that controlled emotional energy. Although they won, the emotions spilled out after the battle and must be sealed again immediately, otherwise it may cause a terrifying explosion.

So the two of them did this with their seriously injured bodies. Although they succeeded, they both died. The professors at Hogwarts could only bury the two secretly in another place under the North Atlantic. In a tomb under the sea.

When Su Ming heard it, he felt that it was quite close to the area where Voldemort had hidden the locket. Also, two spellcasters fighting against an emotional embodiment, is it something like the Parallax Monster? If you can actually win, it's already pretty good.

"I have a question. Professors at Hogwarts don't want outsiders to know when something happens. They always abandon the Ministry of Magic and work alone. Is this a glorious tradition?"

Under the starry ceiling, Su Ming folded his arms and smoked silently. His eyes swept across the four people in the portraits:

"It was like that when Yin Sidora was a transfer student, and it was the same when it came to Voldemort. It had to be solved by the professors themselves. If you feel that the Ministry of Magic cannot represent the interests of the majority of wizards, then why was it established in the first place? ?”

The four professors obviously didn't know who Voldemort was, but they understood the meaning of the death knell and fell into a brief state of silence.

They have now begun to wonder whether teaching at Hogwarts will be mentally influenced, such as some kind of magic similar to the Loyalty Charm, which makes every professor tend to solve problems within the school? Never tell outside wizards?

But there is no answer to this kind of question. I am afraid that only the four founders of Hogwarts or Merlin can explain it.

After a friendly and sincere exchange, the four masters helped open the passage to the emotional seal. The circular dance floor where Deathstroke and Hermione were sitting rippled like water, and then it began to rotate, soften, and really It turned into a liquid, but soon solidified into a spiral staircase leading downwards.

They are also used as door opening portraits, but their approach is much more stylish than the fat lady at the door of the Gryffindor common room.

Before the two of them prepared to go down, the chubby professor also gave the passwords for passing through various magic traps. Although it would not block the death knell, Su Ming did not want to compete with the traps if it would save trouble.

The password is 'Eternal Purity', an iconic Slytherin creed. Apparently it was the second seal completed four hundred years ago, and Phineas Black, the then headmaster, probably arranged it to prevent theft after everyone evacuated.

It's normal, the Black family has always been Slytherin, with the exception of Sirius.

"Okay, then we will go down and remove those emotions. Please rest assured that in recent years, the level of the magic world has greatly improved. We are 100% sure to transfer those emotions safely and securely."

Su Ming pulled the students downstairs and reassured the four portraits. He spoke like an insurance salesman, full of confidence.

"Then we will wait here, wait for you to come back, and take us back to the ground." The female principal in the portrait smiled and nodded. Obviously, she thought that the place where she should be was the principal's office of Hogwarts, and The portraits of the principals of the past generations are together, not in this dark place.

After all, if she no longer has the duty of guarding, all she wants to do is go back to the castle, look at the flames of the fireplace, and continue to help the current headmaster cultivate batches of talents for the future of the British wizarding world.

The reactions of the other three professors were similar. Asan was a little unhappy because of the incident about his sneak attack. Professor Rackham was a little depressed. The past events always have an impact on people, especially as the deceased, it is easier to be Memories are entangled.

But generally speaking, they all want to return to the castle, and the conditions given by Deathstroke are exactly what they want.

"Don't worry, ma'am. Although I am an American, I am also a gentleman. I will definitely do what I promise you." Waving his hand towards the old woman in the portrait, Su Ming quickened his pace and dragged himself The student walked deeper underground, and whispered on the way: "I'll try to use the light ring to absorb energy later. If it doesn't work, I will make a camouflage light furnace for you. Don't worry and try it boldly."

"Well, the power of emotions..." Hermione lowered her head and played with her ring, turning the purple ring around on her finger: "I can feel the emotions welling up in my chest. Moving, this feeling makes people dizzy."

"Most emotions will cause corresponding feedback to the human body. For example, when you are sad, you will cry, and when you are happy, you will laugh. No one will explore the principle, because this is how humans are born."

The speed of the death knell was very fast. At this time, the two of them had descended several hundred meters, and they should not have far to reach:

"In short, if you have energy, use it. Don't delve into the various effects of emotions. After all, you are still a wizard, not a pilot."

"What does this have to do with pilots?"

Hermione couldn't understand it again, and there was a puzzled look on her face again.

The man shook his head and did not explain what the joke was. Instead, he replied: "It's okay. I just said casually, forever pure. Well, the tattered trap seems to have failed. It seems that it works without a password. Let's use a lighting spell. We are here. .”
