Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Peter

Chapter 118 Despicable Haierbo
At six o'clock on Saturday night, Peter was in the large classroom where the last club meeting was held, making final preparations. Due to lack of time, he canceled this week's club activities.

If Constantine was telling the truth, the ritual of invoking Helbo (also called "Enigal") would be very dangerous.

Haierbo needs a soul as a sacrifice, and he will ask the summoner to ask him for three things. These three things must be taken away by the sacrificed soul before his death, and Haierbo must be stumped by the third thing.If any step is wrong, the soul of the summoned will be taken away by Hai Erbo, who will endure a torture worse than death.

Peter set up a large number of protective spells and counter-spells around the walls. If the ceremony got out of control, at least there would be no irreversible catastrophic consequences - such as the destruction of Hogwarts Castle, or... let the despicable Helbo die resurrection.

There was a knock on the door, and Andonova walked in. She was wearing a gray-white robe today, with a deer head brooch pinned conspicuously on her chest. When she saw Peter, she threw herself into his arms.

"Peter, you have encountered danger again..."

"It's okay." Peter replied lightly, he felt the fragrance of Andonova's body, and the soft embrace...

After exchanging pleasantries, Peter told her the rules for summoning Herbo, but she didn't understand why Peter called her here.

"I suppose you can speak Latin and ancient Greek," said Peter.

"I can generally understand, but the conversation is not very proficient..."

"Fine." Peter said with a smile.

Latin is the language used by wizards for incantations, and this ancient language has been used to connect with magic since the time of Helbo.

In modern times, due to the elimination of lengthy incantations by short incantations, most wizards have lost the ability to recite incantations in ancient languages, leaving only fragments of incantations condensed into incantations.

Peter began to draw the magic circle with sulfur and refined salt in the room, and all the steps were in accordance with the requirements of the black book. He believed that there must be some operations that were purely made up by Hai Erbo in order to increase his own sense of mystery, but he deliberately made a complete picture of it. copy.

After the circle was drawn, Peter took out the diary from his pocket and placed it in the center of the circle, and Andonova seemed unaware of it.

"This is?" she asked.

"Sacrifice." Peter said briefly.

He cut the palm of his hand with a silver knife and dripped his own blood on the diary, which absorbed the blood and turned the pages restlessly.

Then he picked up the black book and recited the incantations according to the records in the book. Under the influence of black magic, his voice became hoarse and horrible, like an out-of-key ballad played by a file.

[Great will from darkness,]

[The Lord of all snakes, the one who holds the most evil authority, the Immortal. 】

[I guide you with my blood, I sacrifice my life to you, and I gift you my soul. 】

……

The brimstone circle was blazing, and Peter's eyes turned blood red. He allowed the black magic to soak into his body, allowing another will to temporarily deprive him of his five senses and manipulate his whole body.

"Peter?" He vaguely heard Andonova's worried voice.

He lost his mind, another mind gripping his throat.

【In the name of my bloodline, I am willing to conclude a contract with you. 】

[I, Peter Peddy, I pray that you will come into the world. 】

The magic circle emitted a scarlet light, and with Riddle's diary as the center, invisible fluctuations gradually spread, forming a vortex.

Suddenly, a scorching pillar of fire pierced through the diary, Riddle's screams echoed in the room, and black ink spewed out of the hole like blood.

Peter straightened up suddenly, he regained his consciousness, the red light in his eyes dissipated, Riddle's cry gradually weakened, Peter could only hear his last whisper: "Peter... don't..."

Beside Peter, Andonova had already drawn out her wand. She pointed the tip of her wand at the center of the pillar of fire, where a figure slowly emerged, like a cloud of gray smoke, more like a ghost wandering in Hogwarts.

It was a monster with a human body and a snake tail. The upper body was a haggard old man with two red bright spots shining in the empty eye sockets. His whole face was shriveled and collapsed, and his waist was connected to a giant snake, a muscular snake Body covered with dark green scales.

【I am Enigal, the snake god. Those who offer sacrifices to me, make a contract with me!I will keep my promise, fulfill your wish, and bestow upon you infinite power. 】

The old man with a snake tail bent down slightly, and said the words "infinite might" in a fascinating and seductive tone. Andonova glanced at Peter nervously, and tightened her wand, while Peter looked blank.

"Gabriella, can you understand him? I don't know much about ancient Greek." Peter said to Andonova.

So Andonova helped Peter translate what the other party said.

Peter raised his head and replied: "If you want to conclude a contract, you must first reveal your real name. Please stop cheating, Your Excellency Haierbo."

Andonova, not too fluent, helped Peter translate the sentence from English to ancient Greek.

The snake-tailed man sneered a few times. He looked around and saw with satisfaction the Muggle voodoo supplies such as refined salt, bone fragments, and straw ropes on the ground. Finally, two bright spots in his eye sockets fell on Andono on the magic wand in the baby's hand.

[The name itself contains power...Little wizard, you are very smart. 】Helbo said in ancient Greek,【The spell that has been passed down for thousands of years in a society without magicians has finally returned to wizards...】

"I don't quite understand, I can only understand a few words," Peter said with a frown. "In short, let's conclude a contract quickly. Please give me strength."

After listening to Andonova's translation, the smile on Haierbo's withered face became more obvious.

[Okay, impatient young man.Regarding the soul you have dedicated to me, I will give you three things as a reward, and if this is not enough, I will give you great power as a supplement.If you will, take an oath of blood, and those who break the oath will die. 】

Hearing the conditions proposed by Hai Erbo, Peter couldn't help but slander. On the surface, this contract is completely beneficial to the summoner. If you taste it carefully, there are traps everywhere in the words.

The word "about" is often understood to mean "because of", and it is impossible for the average summoner to know that "three things" must be "about" the sacrificed soul; and "if this is not enough" means, If Hai Erbo successfully gave the summoner three things as compensation, the summoner would be counted as not fully fulfilling the oath.

Andonova stumbled and translated in Peter's ear, and Peter pretended to be listening freshly. Haier was salivating at Peter's wizard soul. He smiled and stared at Peter, as if staring at a piece of fat and juicy lamb.

"Okay!" After hearing the translation, Peter shouted happily, "Great, I am willing!"

[Swear by blood, child. 】Helbo said slowly.

Peter raised his hand that had been cut by the silver knife, and before Hai Erbo reached out to hold it, he suddenly withdrew his hand, Hai Erbo was a little annoyed.

"Your Excellency Hai Erbo, I hope you will stop cheating. Please cut your own palm and shake hands with me, otherwise the contract will only bind me alone."

【...You are a little too cunning, Peter Peddy. 】 Hai Erbo said in a low voice.
