Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 466

"It's not easy to get you to come to school alone at night," Lucas said jokingly. "We had to ask Ms. Gray to help."

Molin suddenly understood that his house has special guards. If ordinary wizards forcefully break into his house, they will be attacked by the curse. At that time, Alton will definitely be awakened, and he wants to take Molin from Grandpa Molin. It's not easy to bring it here.

Lucas and the old hag didn't want to disturb the people of the Ministry of Magic, even the retired Alton, they didn't want to provoke them for no reason, which was not good for them.

But the spells used to protect oneself in the wizard's house are ineffective against ghosts, because ghosts will not leave traces anywhere they walk, let alone touch those spells in Molin's house, so Helena can quietly He broke into Maureen's bedroom silently.

"I don't understand, you shouldn't be—you know the function of this stone arch better than all of us, how can you help them?" Maureen asked Helena loudly.

Helena glanced at Mo Lin faintly, then turned her gaze to the stone arch: "We just take what we need."

"Everyone gets what they need? At the beginning of school last year, you asked Myrtle to tell me that I couldn't go to the Forbidden Forest, so why did you help me?" Molin continued to ask, "You said you were going to find the answer to the invisible man?" , your mother Ravenclaw also helped guard the Black Rubik's Cube, how could you-"

"It's because of my mother that I want to do this!" Helena said calmly, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to involve you in it."

"what do you mean?"

There was a trace of confusion in Helena's blurry eyes, as if she was recalling something, her expression was vacillating, but soon there was only firmness left in her eyes.

"I need to open the stone arch." Helena said every word.

"What are you talking about—your mother was protecting the Black Rubik's Cube, and she was protecting the Black Rubik's Cube with others, didn't she protect this stone arch?"

Maureen was a little angry. The stone arch was originally closed by Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff, and then the twelve keys of the stone arch were kept separately. , do not want future generations to open.

But now Ravenclaw's daughter is going to open the stone archway sealed by her mother herself?
"You won't understand." Helena said quietly, her tone was very flat, as if she didn't bother to talk about anything with a ten-year-old child.

"Then let me understand!" Molin said angrily, "You tricked me here to help them open the stone arch, are you worthy of your mother?"

Helena's complexion was getting worse and worse. She suddenly jumped up to Mo Lin and shouted: "You have no right to speak of my mother, you have no right to judge her!"

"I am talking about you!"

Although Helena's coldness made him very uncomfortable, Mo Lin still refused to be outdone and said, "You helped Payngade open the stone arch against her wishes, and you still don't allow others to tell?"

Helena seemed to be hit by something Mo Lin said, and her face became extremely painful. With a wave of her sleeves, she quickly backed away and floated above the stone arch, her chest heaving and falling.

"Hurry up and act." Helena no longer responded to Mo Lin's words, she turned her head and said to Lucas.

Maureen stared at Helena angrily.

"Although I don't know what will happen after opening the stone arch, I will not let you succeed." Molin said, "No matter what your purpose is, I will definitely stop you."

He turned his head and glanced at the stone arch. With the help of the moonlight, he saw that there were still only ten patterns on the stone arch. The pattern protected by Professor Binns and Arnock did not appear, at least the key to open the stone arch had not been collected yet.

"You can't stop it."

A cold and high-pitched voice echoed around, the voice seemed to be everywhere, and there seemed to be a sharp cold wind blowing around, which shocked Mo Lin and the others.

"Who is talking there?" An Ran asked in a low voice.

They soon figured out who it was.

Lucas had already waved his wand, and a huge picture frame slowly appeared in front of Mo Lin. The picture was two meters high, and inside stood a middle-aged man with silver hair, with deep brows and muscular lines on his face. The edges and corners are sharp, and there is a hostility in the eyes.

The driving force behind all events, Paying Gade!
Maureen held his breath, it really was this guy.

Professor Adams and An Ran also looked at the person standing in the frame in amazement. The two of them did not know Payngade, but they were also shocked by his cold and sinister expression.

It was obviously just a painting, but it gave them the feeling that Payngade would step out of the painting in the next step. This person was much clearer than those portraits in the castle.

"It's you again!" Mo Lin said in a deep voice.

Payngade is a painter, and he is also vivid in the paintings.The art of shaping oneself by killing Muggles, using the life of Muggles to perpetuate oneself, is extremely cruel.

This is the second time that Morin has confronted Payngade head-on. This person has been hiding behind the scenes, instructing Lucas and the old witch to collect the Black Rubik's Cube everywhere, and use various schemes to fool the Ministry of Magic.

The most powerful point is that the people of the Ministry of Magic still don't know that there is a century-old wizard in the painting.

"Long time no see, Walker, how do you want to stop me on such a wonderful night?" Payngade laughed, and that laughter made everyone shiver involuntarily.

"Unfortunately, you only got ten Black Rubik's Cubes. It takes twelve Rubik's Cubes to open the stone arch. Obviously, you haven't got the other two Black Rubik's Cubes yet."

Although Maureen doesn't even have a wand in his hand now, and he doesn't know where Principal McGonagall and Professor Francis have gone, he still calms down, because no matter what, as long as the remaining two black cubes are safe, Payngade could not open the stone arch.

"You think so, Walker."

Payngade fiddled with his wand and looked at Maureen with interest.

"Isn't it?" Merlin said.

What makes Molin feel unbelievable is that although Payngade in front of him is in the painting, the scenery behind him is transparent. The scenery behind him is actually the night of Hogwarts school, and Molin can still see through it. A painting, see Lucas.

Generally speaking, a painting has a background, even if it is a portrait of a person, it should be standing somewhere, such as a canyon, a room, or sitting on a chair... But in Payngade's painting, the person behind him The background is the background in reality.

If it wasn't for the brown picture frame surrounding Payngade's body, Mo Lin would have thought that Payngade was standing alive on the stone platform.

Payngade slowly took a step forward in the painting, and the frame also moved slowly. This feeling made Mo Lin feel very strange.

He knew that Payngade was imprisoned in the painting and could not come out, but when Payngade was walking forward, the background was still motionless, as if Payngade was not in the painting at all, it was just an empty frame, no painting was hung, only There was only one person standing.

Mo Lin could even imagine that if he cast a magic spell to hide the picture frame around Payngade, what he would see would be a true real person, and no one would think that Payngade in front of him was actually a character in the painting .

"Let me guess, you don't understand the relationship between the Black Rubik's Cube and the Stone Arch at all, do you?" Payngade revealed a strange smile, "Do you think the Black Rubik's Cube is just a key to the Stone Arch?"

Mo Lin's heart skipped a beat. He remembered that Hufflepuff in the Room of Requirement said that there are twelve keys in the stone arch, and you need to use the Black Rubik's Cube to open the stone arch.

Morin has been investigating this matter, but he certainly doesn't know more than Payngade.

After being told by Payngade, he was a little uncertain.
