The White Lord Professor at Hogwarts

It was a gloomy area, and he stood on one side of a long, dimly lit room—no, strictly speaking, a vast palace of darkness.

The stone pillars are engraved with entangled snakes. They stand tall and support the ceiling that melts into the darkness above, casting long and strange black shadows on the entire room that is filled with green and mysterious mist.

Ricardo's heart was beating wildly involuntarily, and he stood there, listening to the death-like silence.

He had a feeling that something was lurking in a dark corner behind a certain stone pillar, and that it could see him.

He wanted to pull out his wand, but found that there was nothing on his body - maybe, it shouldn't be called a body, after all, he couldn't tell what kind of existence he was now.

Translucent and milky white, it seemed to be his soul, but it also seemed like his own memory.

He advanced slowly between the stone pillars entwined with giant snakes, but for some reason every step he took produced a hollow, loud echo among the ghostly walls.

He always felt that the empty eye sockets of the two stone snakes were always following him.

More than once, he seemed to see something moving and narrowed his eyes, only to find that there was nothing.

When he walked parallel to the last pair of stone pillars, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, clinging to the dark wall behind.

It was an old, monkey-like face, with a long sparse beard that almost reached the hem of the wizard's robe, and two gray boots standing on the smooth floor of the room.

"Salazar Slytherin, it looks like you don't have much time..."

A voice suddenly sounded, and at the same moment, a black air mass appeared in front of the old man's eyes.

Salazar Slytherin was not frightened by the black air mass, and looked as calm and relaxed as if he was attending a banquet.

"I plan to erect a statue here in a few days," he said suddenly, "in my present appearance."

It was strange, they were probably speaking Old English, but Ricardo understood it.

"Oh? Are you satisfied with your current appearance? It seems that the time magic has not only cursed your appearance, but also changed your heart?"

The voice in the air ball was sarcastic.

"Of course that's impossible," Salazar's voice was a little more cheerful, "My former handsomeness was recognized by Godric."

He walked a few steps and seemed to feel something inexplicably. He glanced at where Ricardo was, then looked away, and walked leisurely: "However, this is the face I paid for with my life, and I have to cherish it. "

"Haha, life..." Qi Tuan sneered, "Studying time in private and being cursed by the world, you said that this is exchanging life for appearance... which is not bad."

"Aren't we the same kind of people? Sir," Salazar grinned, "otherwise, how could you study soul and time with me?"

"Indeed, but I am not as reckless as you, and my goals may not be the same..." said the black air ball called "Your Excellency".

"Of course. But our common goal is very clear, both for the wizard to be great again." Salazar answered.

"Of course, otherwise, you wouldn't be hiding from those three people," Qi Tuan laughed again, "I really didn't expect that it would be you who could partially agree with my point of view and summon me here..."

"Who else do you think? Rowena? Obviously, no one can understand your behavior except me, who studies time."

"Also...only you can barely observe the unreachable future..." Qi Tuan said faintly, but turned around.

"However, there is still a problem with your statement...Look, isn't Rowena Ravenclaw here?"

"I knew you were here, Your Excellency."

A voice suddenly sounded from behind Ricardo, and he was startled when he saw a beautiful and dignified woman walking out from behind him.

"I never thought I could hide it from you, Rowena."

Salazar showed a helpless smile, but when he looked carefully, there seemed to be a trace of undetectable relief.

"Long time no see, Miss Wisdom," Qi Tuan's tone was full of nostalgia, "I still remember the scene when we fought side by side that day. You wore the crown on your head like a god king descending from the sky, holding the raging flames in your hand, turning into the sky in the morning. Heavy snow.”

Rowena also showed a nostalgic smile, but it was full of bitterness: "All glory will eventually pass. In fact, we will never escape His curse."

The air fell silent for a moment, and only Slytherin snorted, but said nothing.

After a long time, the voice of the air ball sounded: "Well... Actually, the curse is not a big deal, it is just that we have to suppress it with the holy weapon. Even if it is released, it will only ruin the appearance like Salazar."

"That's not possible," Salazar interjected, with a smile in his eyes, "Our elemental princess has to collect secret skin care recipes everywhere she goes. How can she exchange beauty for strength?"

"I've said it so many times, it's just to get closer to those girls so that I can ask about ancient magic," Rowena raised her eyebrows, "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind."

"I remember going to the ancient tribe once, and they were so excited when they heard you say this, and then..." He couldn't continue because Rowena sealed his mouth with magic.

Ricardo thought for a while, "Excited"... Why?

Did it touch on some tribal grammatical characteristics... No!

"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind"... Ravenclaw seems to be a person from around the tenth century... At that time, Britain used Old English... So it translates to... The extraordinary length is...?

The atmosphere that should have been serious suddenly became uncomfortable.

"Salazar Slytherin," Rowena's tone became colder, "have you no longer attached to the world?"

"You are still so young at heart," Qi Tuan chuckled and said, "It's a pity that I am already old."

"Come on," Ravenclaw rolled his eyes at the mention of this, "I don't know who came back from the dead in the sixth century and is still hiding in the world. You are the biggest immortal in the world."

"You know nothing about eternal life..." Qi Tuan replied, "This is not for happiness, but for responsibility..."

"Stop talking about this," Salazar lowered his hands to signal silence, then turned his head to Rowena, "What are you doing here, Rowena?"

"What are you doing?" Rowena sneered. "Your good apprentice killed my daughter."

Ricardo was shocked, had I seen something I shouldn't have seen?

"Of course," the Sorting Hat's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "although I don't know why Salazar Slytherin asked me to show you so many tidbits during the main film. This is also why I The reason why he wants you to go back and read it. He has set such a threshold, so just keep reading."

"you……"

"Don't worry, I can't see your memory now. It's just a little magic from your Excellency to communicate with your mind."
