Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 423 The Key to the Stone Arch
"You mean the Black Rubik's Cube is the key to open this stone arch?" Mo Lin exclaimed.

"You can understand it that way," said Hufflepuff.

This really surprised Maureen, he had never thought of keys before.When Arnock mentioned the key to him, his first impression of the key was the kind of bronze key with flower carvings, and maybe the key was engraved with the icons of the four founders or something.

But he never thought about it, the black cube that has made him dizzy for a while is actually the key to the stone arch!

In this way, Payngade really intends to collect twelve keys to open this stone arch!

So what happens after opening this door?
Arnock did not say so at first, because the four founders of Hogwarts school did not leave any detailed records.

Mo Lin thought that as soon as he got close to the Black Rubik's Cube, he would run to the place where the two moons were, could it be——

"Wait, don't you want to tell me—after this door is opened, you will go to that world?" Molin asked in surprise, "Peyngade wants to open this door and attract the monsters from that world?"

"I can't give you an accurate answer to this question. What I speculate are all from your memory. I don't know much about Payngade. He never came to my place when he was at Hogwarts, so I don't know what he's thinking," said Hufflepuff.

"Peyngade hasn't been here?"

Mo Lin was very surprised. Payngade had been hiding in the paintings for hundreds of years. He learned about the rise and fall of wizards in each era through the paintings he had handed down in various places. I am afraid that few people can match his knowledge of magic.

When Payingard came to Hogwarts, he must also know that Hogwarts has a Room of Requirement. If he could use the Room of Requirement, his plan should have been more perfect.However, he never used the Room of Requirement once, and now it seems that Payingaid must have known who kept the Room of Requirement.

This guy was able to live in the painting for so many years without being discovered, it is indeed inseparable from his cautious temperament.

Maureen thought about Hufflepuff's words, and he couldn't help asking: "Then what kind of world is the place with two moons?"

"It's a very strange place."

"How strange?" Mo Lin wondered.

"The world we live in is far more complicated than you imagine. What you usually see is only the surface, but something deeper is hidden behind that door." Hufflepuff said slowly.

"What is something deeper?" Mo Lin asked again.

"The world has rules, and when the door is opened, the rules will be chaotic." Hufflepuff said.

The world has rules?Maureen suddenly remembered that this word had been mentioned in Scamander's article.

"The rules you mentioned mean that monsters from that world will be introduced to destroy our current wizarding world?"

Molin knew clearly that ordinary wizards were unable to deal with those monsters. If those monsters ran over, they might cause a commotion. Without Arnock's level, wizards were completely helpless against these monsters.

"Worse." Hufflepuff's answer was simple.

"Worse than this?"

"I can't explain it too clearly to you. I'm just a consciousness left by magic." Hufflepuff said softly: "But preventing this door from being opened is undoubtedly the most critical."

"I'm already stopping it, otherwise what do you think I'm doing these days? Traveling around the world—" Molin muttered, "But you may have forgotten that my current level of magic is not as good as that of an adult wizard—"

Under Arnock's teaching, he has mastered many spells and transfiguration techniques. The only disadvantage is that these spells are more than enough to deal with his peers, but he has no chance of winning when he meets a wizard with real magic skills.

The last time his stun spell hit Lucas, he couldn't completely stun Lucas. Lucas's own magical ability was higher than his, which could offset part of the power of the stun spell.

"Magic does not depend on the strength of the spell." Hufflepuff said, "A truly excellent wizard is not because his spells are stronger than others, but because his ability to adapt to changes is better than others."

"This statement is too mysterious." Maureen spread his hands. He found that Hufflepuff's words were a little familiar, and then he remembered that Anoke had often told him these truths before. It is estimated that Hufflepuff's words came from his mind. found.

However, he felt that when facing Lucas and the old witch, his ability to adapt to the situation was not very effective, especially the old witch, when she fired the spell, it was like a Muggle machine gun. Can't find an opportunity.

"If the twelve black cubes are the keys to the stone arch, and there are those weird patterns under the black cube—then, the Adams family, the Clive family, and An Ran's ancestors are all the ones who guard the key to the stone arch. ?"

Both Sweet and Anran have that weird eye pattern, and the origin of the Adams family also started shortly after the establishment of Hogwarts, which seems to make sense.

"Yes, it's a pity that too much time has passed, and some guardian families have disappeared into history." Hufflepuff said regretfully.

"Then what families are there in total? If you can tell me clearly, maybe I can find the remaining keys before Payngade." Molin couldn't wait to ask.

The twelve patterns on the stone arch lit up again, and these twelve patterns seemed to be written with white lines, floating into the air.

"Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, our family of the four - you are already familiar with the four families of Clive, Brear, Adams, Peverell - "

Every time Hufflepuff named a family, a pattern would light up, and she continued: "The remaining four families are Cuthbert, Ambrosius, Lykenlove and— Payngade."

Maureen's eyes widened!
"What? Payngade!"

Mo Lin was deeply surprised, he never expected that Paying Gade was actually one of the twelve guardians of the family!

"Yes, Payngade, his mark is one of the twelve keys." Hufflepuff's tone became a little strange, as if he was sighing or regretting: "The twelve families have been passed down for too long. , there will always be descendants who go astray.”

It is so!
Among the twelve patterns, there will be Payngade's mark, a pen, and an eye drawn under the pen. Mo Lin couldn't figure out what was going on at first, but now he understands it.

No wonder Payngade was so excited when he saw the stone arch when he was in the Department of Mysteries last time. As one of the twelve guardians of the stone arch, he knew exactly what the stone arch meant!
