Chapter 441 Rowena: Help Me, Mr. Salazar
"The people of the Secret Society are really persistent. How many times have they entered Hogwarts?" Rowena said in a teasing tone: "Salazar has sent me materials twice."
"Should it be three times?" Rice scratched his head.
This can't be blamed on his bad memory. It's mainly because the monks of the Secret Society didn't leave him too deep an impression - he still remembers the details of the Ragnarok.
What people can remember is limited. Those unimportant memories will sink into the depths of the sea of memory until the key words are triggered.
Of course, the big job that the Secret Society did at noon today will probably make him remember it for a lifetime.
Well, Godric Gryffindor's return to Hogwarts is really amazing.
"Did you record the grand occasion at noon today?" Rice blinked and had a brilliant idea.
"Of course, this is a milestone event at Hogwarts, how can there be no record?" Rowena smiled and took out a crystal ball from her arms.
She tapped the crystal ball gently, and then scenes of phantoms began to flash in the crystal ball, all of which were images of what had just happened.
Finally, the picture in the crystal ball was fixed on the scene where the red-haired man appeared.
[Secret Society - Godric Gryffindor -]
A familiar voice came from the crystal ball.
The corners of the mouths of the three people in the office all curled up, and they all looked like they wanted to hold back their laughter but couldn't.
Looking at Godric's appearance in the crystal ball, Les nodded with satisfaction: When Godric comes to his senses in the future and returns to Hogwarts, he will copy this video and play it at his birthday party, or give it to him as a birthday gift.
After showing Sarah what he wanted to see, Rowena reached out and took the crystal ball back.
Rice suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong, but Rowena spoke again at this time, which distracted him.
"I suggest not to take any action against him first. I want to see what he wants to do - he can't really come to participate in the competition!"
After a little consideration, Rice agreed to Rowena's proposal.
Anyway, he has to focus on the competition, and let Rowena worry about this Godric thing.
Seeing that the two old friends have reached an agreement, Helga also agreed, but still shared her inner worries with them.
"Isn't it too dangerous to let a guy with ulterior motives wander around the castle?"
"Sometimes you have to take a little risk, otherwise how do you know why he came? More importantly, this guy's state is very special, and I don't see any flaws."
"Me too." Rice added.
Rice didn't see any flaws in the man who claimed to be Godric. If he hadn't summoned the phantom of Gryffindor in the Resurrection Stone before, he might really think that it was Godric.
After leaving Hogwarts, Godric chose to found the Secret Order in order to eliminate the influence of the God's Remains. This explanation seems to make sense.
After hearing the words of the two old friends, Helga's expression became serious, because she couldn't see any flaws from that guy.
He seemed to be the old friend who left the school a thousand years ago.
"You see, this is very interesting." Rice saw from Helga's expression that this thoughtful witch couldn't catch the other party's feet.
"If even the three of us can't confirm his identity as a fake, then there is no difference between him and the real Gryffindor."
Rice nodded, but shook his head.
The Muggle saying says that if something sounds like a duck, looks like a duck, and tastes like a duck, then it is a duck. But this scene is definitely not applicable now.
Rice recalled the past moments with Gryffindor, and he couldn't help but sigh: If Godric was here, he would have jumped up and beat up the fake friend and arrested him, right?
He didn't seem to need to find any so-called evidence like the others to prove that the other party was a fake.
In his opinion, just beat him up, and if he found out that he had hit the wrong person in the future, he would apologize and that would be the end of it.
"Why don't we just take action and take him down?" After the thought came out of his mind, Rice regretted it a little: this decision really didn't suit his style.
Rowena and Helga's eyes widened at the same time.
Damn it, how could I hear such a suggestion from Salazar? !
"I object."
"That's not good."
Rowena and Helga rejected Salazar's proposal at the same time.
It was obviously unwise to have a reckless conflict with the mysterious visitor from the Secret Society at this juncture. The magic power of Godric is comparable to that of the three of them. If he really possesses Godric's fire domain, it will be difficult for them to control the scope of the battle. The battle may last for months and stretch for thousands of miles. Hogwarts may be razed to the ground, and there is no way to capture the enemy alive.
"I want to find out what the guy's purpose is first, and it won't be too late to take action after he reveals his fox tail." Rowena expressed her opinion.
"The battle site is not suitable to be held in Hogwarts." Helga's attitude was also very clear.
Rice chose to obey the majority.
"It's nothing more than trying to take the opportunity to destroy Hogwarts or get some benefits from the seal in the dungeon, but I don't understand what this has to do with the purpose of the Secret Order - my intelligence told me that the Secret Order The ultimate goal of the Order is to bring back the Age of Gods, but I don’t know what method they plan to use.”
"You'll know after you see it." Rowena still maintained his fishing attitude.
"Okay." Les supported Rowena's idea.
"By the way, let me keep the resurrection stone ring." He added as if he had thought of something.
Rowena narrowed his eyes: "Salazar, can't you trust me? I said I wouldn't-"
"Can't believe it." Rice's words left Rowena speechless.
He really wasn't talking nonsense, because Rowena herself felt that it was difficult for her to control the urge to summon Godric again to see what would happen.
She is indeed a woman who is difficult to trust!
Rowena returned the resurrection stone ring to Les.
"This ring, according to modern wizards, is a black magic item." Rowena said with certainty: "Its malicious intent on the user is extremely obvious, and it is inducing people to commit suicide."
"Then what do you think happened to the summoned Gryffindor? Is he the reflection in our memory?"
Rowena shook her head.
The Godric summoned from the resurrection stone ring was different, and she had a bolder guess.
She felt that the phantoms summoned by herself, Salazar, and Helga might be much less affected by the Resurrection Stone, because their souls were more powerful and the memories contained in them were more condensed and detailed. The phantom formed by this quality may not be distorted too much by the resurrection stone.
It's just that the current experiment cannot be carried out because of the appearance of Gryffindor.
She had several theories about what would happen now that she used the Resurrection Stone to summon Godric, but it was clear that Salazar would never allow her to conduct such a dangerous experiment.
If he really did it, he would have to be prepared to fight with Salazar - then Hogwarts would really be doomed due to internal and external troubles.
After carefully putting away the Resurrection Stone ring, Rice said to Helga and Rowena: "I guess you will have to find a way to explain to Dumbledore later. Do you want to tell him the truth?"
Helga and Rowena frowned again.
"I feel that I can trust Dumbledore. He is also a wizard in his field and is the current principal of Hogwarts," Helga said.
Rowena kept rubbing his chin without making any comment.
Not too many people should know about this matter, but Dumbledore is obviously the most qualified person to know.
"It's up to you. Anyway, I'm just an ordinary contestant now." Les stretched himself.
He felt that it was okay whether Dumbledore knew about this matter, but he also understood that in the hearts of himself and his old friends, Dumbledore could never gain their wholehearted trust.
In Muggle terms, there was no bond between Dumbledore and them, and they lacked a common memory. They would respect him and trust him with most things, but no more than that.
"You can find a way to explain it to Dumbledore later." Rowena left this somewhat difficult matter to Helga.
Seeing that the most important matter had been discussed, Les began to inquire about matters related to his own interests, which was tomorrow's game.
"Huh? Does our Lord Salazar Slytherin want to cheat? Of course I have no objection here. I will share the information with you now~"
Rowena's words made Les' face darken: This guy wants something from me, right? Why do you act like I am asking for her?
"It's not necessary. I just want to ask, what's going on with the distribution of starts based on strength?"
As soon as these words came out, Rowena suddenly became silent.
Les didn't notice anything unusual at first, but soon he noticed Rowena's changes.
Um? Les's eyebrows raised: There seems to be something wrong with Rowena's appearance...
After about a minute, Rowena opened her mouth to respond to Les's question, and then her expression became serious.
"You should be careful not to capsize in the gutter, Salazar."
A question mark slowly appeared on Les and Helga's foreheads:?
ah? ? ?
Rowena, you really did a great job again! A thought suddenly flashed through Les's mind, and he roared heartbreakingly in his heart.
No wonder, the case was solved, and the reason why Rowena insisted on participating in the competition was found out - she had messed up again, and she needed to clean up her mess by herself.
"I really didn't mean it this time."
"So you did it on purpose before?"
Rowena:…
"This time the start will really be assigned based on your actual strength, so Salazar, you have to be prepared."
Les scratched his head: he was really curious about what weird thing Rowena had done.
"It's the alchemy of life. It's completely out of control. I took the out-of-control part out of the dungeon and made it into the venue for this competition - actually, I didn't feel that out of control at first. I felt like things were still under control. Among them. But when I went on an on-site inspection two days ago, I found that the problem seemed to be a bit big..."
"Huh?!" Les and Helga made exactly the same sound.
"You use this kind of thing as a venue?!" Les asked in an incredible tone with his eyes widened.
"Are you crazy?" Helga was more direct and asked Rowena's mental state directly.
"I said, I didn't get so out of control when I was making the competition venue." Rowena tried to defend herself, but Les and Helga didn't believe it.
"Tell me about the life alchemy first." After taking two deep breaths, Les asked Rowena to start from the beginning.
"Life-giving alchemy is the core concept of this competition. Without the support of life alchemy, this championship is just a child's play, and there is no need for you to leave."
As soon as Rowena started, Les realized that something was wrong: the trouble she caused this time was no less than what she did back then...
He probably guessed what happened.
"Tell me the truth, when you and Helga tried to trick me into the competition, what was the situation of your experiment?"
"Most of the situation is still under my control, but the competition is really difficult, so I need you to enter as the last insurance."
Rice's eyes darkened: Most of it is still under control, doesn't it mean that some of it is out of control? ! Also, why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?
Helga, who was sitting on the side, licked her lips. She was now glad that she was a professor and couldn't participate in the competition at all, so this matter didn't bother her at present-but could the old venomous snake handle it alone? After all, Rowena, the founder, felt it was difficult and could not control the situation.
Rice also realized this problem.
He took a deep breath and said that you two should stop standing there and come in with me to fill the hole.
As a result, Rowena looked at Rice with an apologetic look and told him that the two of them couldn't get in.
"What do you mean you can't get in?!" Rice felt his blood pressure rising little by little.
"I cast a spell on that venue, and people over the age of 21 cannot enter - now this spell has also gone out of control due to the venue problem, and it cannot be undone at all. The same goes for the spell that allocates the starting location based on strength."
"So I can be considered under 21?" Les blinked: he felt that he could never be considered under 21, right?
"I left a backdoor when I cast the spell and granted you special access permissions. Although the spell cannot be changed now, the permissions left before are still there, and you can still enter."
Les didn't know what to say at all.
"So, help me, Mr. Salazar!" Rowena asked in a sincere tone.
As Les' blood pressure soared, he suddenly became a little curious and wanted to know what kind of trouble Rowena had made.
