Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

At this time, Xifa was caught in a choice.

The water in the lake is so clear that you can clearly see the stone altar at the bottom of the lake.

However, one's own perception cannot be extended.

It was like walking alone on the road, and suddenly all the street lights went out, and the whole person was wrapped in darkness that could not be reached, and a deep sense of helplessness surged in my heart.

And the lake water that contains magic power creates this effect.

The abundant inert magic power in the lake water allows Xifa to release, including but not limited to perception magic, all of which can only act on the outermost layer of the lake water.

Like an enchanted realm... Sifa thought to himself.

In other words, Xifa may not be able to cast the Bubble Curse in the lake.

The potion that was taken in the Slytherin chamber last time had relatively harsh brewing and storage conditions.

The shelf life is short and the cooking time is long.

Xifa, who has been busy on the road, has no chance to calm down to configure the potion.

Could it be that he can only take a deep breath, dive into the bottom of the lake and open the door of the stone chamber?I don't know if there is any breathable air in the secret room!

Xifa's gaze began to be cloudy and uncertain, and he subconsciously stroked the ring on his hand in a tangled state.

It doesn't make sense, this ring only needs to enter the enchantment?

Thinking of this, Xifa magically poured his own magic power into the ring, mixed with appealing will.

It has an unexpected effect!

The ring was slightly heated, and then a warm current flowed from the fingers covering the whole body.

Then nothing happened...

Xifa hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and jumped off the ice floe.

The cool lake water is isolated from the warm current.

Against the backdrop of the lake light, the surface of his body seemed to be covered with a plastic film.

Xifa raised his hand to his eyes, looked at it, and tried to take a breath.

This is a bubble head curse that does not belong to the wizard system.

Although the warm current is close to him, his breathing is not affected at all.

I can't even feel the water pressure. Fortunately, the water resistance is still there, otherwise it would be really difficult for me to swim.

...

At the bottom of the nameless lake, there are steps paved with bluestone.

It took some time for Xifa to dive to the bottom, and now he is sticking out his toes and slowly landing on the steps,

I don't know why, but I always feel that there is some incongruity.

Sifa looked around warily.

It's hard to imagine yourself in the water if you don't feel the resistance of the water flow around you.

The surrounding sight is unobstructed, and there are no strange things peeping at him in the dark.

No... now I don't have the ability to cast detection magic, if there are creatures lurking around me.

I can only pray that the barrier of the ring ring is strong enough. If I punch down and the barrier cannot withstand the force and breaks, then I will cry without tears!

After waiting for a while, there was still nothing wrong with it.

Although there is no silt that the lake bottom should have under the feet, and there is no moss on the stone slabs.

But these are not the culprits who feel strange in my heart.

Forget it, since you won't come out to stop me, then I will continue to carry out my plan.

First he was helpless and unwilling, and then Xifa strengthened his belief, and he no longer hesitated in his steps.

Bouncing along the stone road at the bottom of the lake.

At the end of the stone road is a round altar with twelve stone pillars.

Xifa strolled up to the altar, only to find a stone tablet half a meter high in the center of the altar.

There are three grooves on it.

They are straight, circular, and triangular.

After looking at it for a moment, Xifa realized that the shape of a letter and the shape of a circle are the sockets of the other two keys.

The triangle is your target socket.

The moment he took off the ring on his hand, the oppressive feeling of the lake instantly descended on him.

Sifa couldn't help but let out a muffled snort.

As expected, here, one's own magic power cannot appear outside the body at all, but because of the location of the altar, one can still breathe here.

Then let's get started!

Cifer slipped the ring into the triangular socket.

The three slots on the stone pillar in the center of the socket fit perfectly with the three buckles of the ring buckle.

Accompanied by a slight clicking sound, a stone pillar covered with mysterious patterns passed through the buckle of the ring.

Eventually a crowbar was formed under the slab.

Does this... lift up or press down?Clockwise or counterclockwise? ...

After a moment of confusion in his heart, Xifa forced himself to calm down.

Such a short stele is also at the bottom of the water.

The probability of lifting up should be the highest!Besides, I didn't receive that the agency here has no chance of trial and error.

He took out the resonance ball that indicated the opening of the seal, rubbed it a few times, and crushed it.

Then without any hesitation, he bent down, clenched the handle tightly with both hands, and first raised it tentatively.

I thought it was a complete stone tablet, but I never thought that it was three stone tablets side by side.

They seemed to be in one piece, and they fooled Xifa for a while, until he lifted them vigorously.

But Xifa has no time to study these.

After the stele was lifted, it seemed that some magic circle had been activated.

As the stele gradually lifted off the ground, the twelve stone pillars covered with fine patterns gradually lit up.

There is nothing wrong with your own actions.

Xifa was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped up his efforts.

I thought that when the twelve stone pillars were lit, a seal would appear, or that the seal would open a gap.

Unexpectedly, an irresistible attraction suddenly acts on me.

With a whirlwind, Xifa came to a strange place.

The square field, the size of a Quidditch pitch, was cut horizontally and vertically into a nine-square grid.

At this time, Xifa was standing in the very center of the Jiugong grid.

What does it mean?

Xifa looked around, and was surprised to find that the sky, or the ceiling, turned into a night sky of countless stars.

From time to time, these star points are connected by untraceable threads.

The last time I saw this kind of astrology was in Hogwarts astronomy class!

Is this a prophecy array that can spy on fate?

"Boy!"

boom--

The vigilant Xifa turned around and struck without hesitation.

Yet the expected hit or feeling of arrival didn't come.

The icicles condensed on Xifa's hand cut hard on the ground.

"It's a good thing to be vigilant, but young people, aren't you too impulsive?"

Xifa was unmoved, the young man in front of him was a ghost, and a ghost with extremely high soul strength.

If it weren't for the blow he just passed through his figure, there would be no shadow under the starlight, and based on his seemingly solid image, it would not be suspicious to say that he is a living person.

"what is your purpose?"

Xifa asked suddenly.

"It's impolite... Shouldn't you say your own name before asking someone else a question?"

The young man shook his head, with a smile on his face, and didn't answer immediately.

"Tom!" Cifer replied without hesitation.

"Young people are not honest at all. There needs to be more trust between people, otherwise..."

"In the magic world, it is sometimes a very stupid thing to say your name."

Xifa said it very euphemistically, I don't know who you are, what should I do if I am cursed when I say my name?
