Hogwarts White Knight

The restricted area is located at the back of the library, separated by a rope.

Many young wizards firmly believe that the books stored here are dangerous and powerful, and they may contain very powerful black magic.

Gawain felt...they were right.

"Poisonous magic, powerful potions, cutting-edge transfiguration, the secret of the stars..."

Gawain scanned the books one by one and found that unlike the collection in the ordinary area that looked "harmless to humans and animals", the books here sounded powerful enough just from the names.

Many of them looked quaint and worn, very heavy, and one was even chained up.

——There is a twisted and struggling human face on the cover of the book.

It seemed that it noticed the footsteps, its eyeballs were spinning, and it looked very strange and terrifying.

Gawain cautiously huddled under the invisibility cloak, took out his notebook, and copied down the names of the books he was more interested in. Today is just his first exploration. It would be too dangerous and wasteful to read through each book one by one.

But he still at least opened the book of Poisonous Magic.

It was written by a wizard named Godlott, who wrote a number of dangerous spells with the help of a wand made of El Horn, which greatly advanced the study of black magic.

In this book, a lot of black magic is recorded. From spells and potions to rituals and curses. Some require more than just blood or malevolence from the wizard, and the most egregious of them even require killing.

Merciless killing.

Inferi, Unforgivable Curse, Potion of Pain...

Gao Wenzhi also found the curse he had used before.

Compared with the information provided by Miranda, the curses in the book are more comprehensive, and there are many gestures and rituals that can strengthen the connection between the wizard and the curse and increase the success rate.

But to his surprise, the author did not call it "black magic."

"It is true that it uses venom as a ritual material and presents it in a vicious and cruel form, but in fact, it is just a tribute to the will of a person in ancient times. His name is unknown today, but the powerful The ability still exists, but it has become more difficult as time has passed, so that few people can use it today."

Godlot describes it this way and classifies it as "occult".

Gawain put the book back after he remembered the name. He now understood deeply why ordinary students should not be allowed to access the restricted book area - it was too dangerous.

Just imagine being read by someone like Malfoy...

It's better that it's gone.

Carefully inserting the most poisonous magic back into the bookshelf, Gawain walked deeper into the forbidden book area.

He saw a small door.

It is somewhat similar to the door of the principal's office, with brown wood grain and an eagle's head on the handle.

Gawain had never seen an eagle carved so vividly, it even seemed to be alive.

No, it is alive.

Its eyes suddenly raised sharply, as if it saw Gawain hiding under the invisibility cloak, and it actually started to vibrate slightly. Then in the next moment, the door had disappeared.

Where the door originally stood, there was a dusty wall. No matter how Gawain used "Open the Alaho Cave" or "Show Me the Way", he could not make it appear again.

"You'll never know all the secrets of Hogwarts, tsk."

Thinking about the description in a "interest book" about Hogwarts that he had read before, Gawain quietly left the library.

It was already the end of November, and the castle was chilly at night. The invisibility cloak was indeed large, but it did not block the wind or keep heat, which made Gawain miss the warm stove in the common room.

He took a secret passage and wanted to get to the spiral steps from there.

But just as Gawain was passing through a passage, he suddenly felt inexplicable heart palpitations.

"what happened?"

Gawain ran two steps quickly and pushed open the revolving stone door. His movements roughly woke up several wizards in the portraits.

But he didn't care about this and ran to the window.

The windows here face outside, across the huge black lake, and it faces the Forbidden Forest.

The thing that made his heart palpitate didn't come from the castle.

It comes from the forest.

In the sky, the full moon shed a silvery light, but it could not illuminate the dark forest.

But in Gawain's vision, the "color" there was particularly strong.

A pale green poisonous snake is entangled in the depths, intertwined with the silver light.

The silver light is not sacred, but makes people feel a little cold inexplicably, like a poison or a curse.

The poisonous snake kept roaring silently, biting the silver light crazily, but its resistance was in vain, as the silver seeped into the green bit by bit.

Gawain could almost imagine the pitiful howl of the poisonous snake.

"It seems that you have also noticed our friend who escaped in the Forbidden Forest."

Suddenly someone spoke in Gawain's ear, causing him to subconsciously pull out his wand and shoot a curse.

But he reacted quickly.

That's Professor Dumbledore.

"According to legend, as long as you swallow the unicorn horn with unicorn tears on a full moon night, all vicious curses can be washed away. But they are not so good at forgiving creatures, especially when you still In order to continue life, swallow their blood."

Dumbledore ignored Gawain's actions and continued to look into the forest.

The venomous snake's struggle became more intense. It jumped up suddenly and bit off a large piece of silver.

But how can it bite the light?

The silver bitten by it had penetrated into its green body in an instant, swallowing up its existence bit by bit.

"This is an extremely painful and dangerous ritual, no less than putting a torn soul back together. I thought Tom would not have such courage, let alone seek forgiveness from a magical creature."

Dumbledore let out a long sigh, and Phoenix Fawkes pecked his ears on his shoulder, seeming a little impatient.

His words sounded confusing.

But Gawain chose to understand in his own way.

——You can ask someone to apologize, or you can shoot someone, but you can't shoot someone and then ask him to apologize willingly.

Riddle wasn't asking for mercy at all, he was holding a dagger to his neck.

Gawain just hoped sincerely that the slain unicorn was not the one he was familiar with.

Cecilia.

Seeing that the green snake is about to be completely covered with silver, this ceremony will come to an end.

"Professor, what will happen to him if he is not forgiven? I mean Riddle."

Gawain asked in confusion.

"The antidote will turn into poison, allowing the unicorn's curse before his death to embrace his soul." Dumbledore shook his head slightly, as if he did not expect that Riddle would end up like this.

Once the curse has penetrated deep into the soul, it can no longer be escaped by changing a body or finding a scapegoat.

In order to save his own life, he slaughtered a pure, weak and helpless life, so from the moment its blood touched his lips, he would have a half-dead life.

A cursed life.

A walking, breathing ghost.

But the poisonous snake was not swallowed by the silver after all.

The bloody light formed a huge stone crown shadow, suddenly lighting up the entire forbidden forest!
