Retirement from Hogwarts

"Okay, don't be angry." Jack comforted Hermione softly. "Osroais is not necessarily lying to us about this matter. The longer the inheritance, the more secrets the country has. It would be strange if there were no guardians passed down from generation to generation in the country left by the original arcane master. matter."

"Guardian?" After hearing Jack's words, Hermione couldn't help but look around nervously, as if she was on guard against the possibility of an assassin emerging from a corner in the church at any time.

"Don't worry Hermione, I've checked just now. At least this room is safe now." Jack looked at Hermione who had become suspicious since listening to his words and couldn't help but comforted her in a funny way.

"But what if your Patronus doesn't notice?" After hearing Jack's words, Hermione couldn't help but give him a stern look, and then began to place protective spells around them.

"How could I not notice it? I am quite confident in the magic of Patronus." Jack looked at Hermione who didn't trust him and couldn't help but shrugged.

"Hmph, what if someone has some secret method? What if you get hurt by that time?" After hearing Jack's excuses, Hermione's expression began to look closer to that of Professor McGonagall when he was lecturing.

"Ahem, I was indeed too careless this time." Jack looked at Hermione's face and decisively gave in. He didn't want to be put into Professor McGonagall mode after using the Special Contribution Badge to skip all the exams last time. Hermione lectured all afternoon.

"Then what should we do next?" Seeing that he took the initiative to admit his mistake and showed no intention of pursuing him, Hermione asked him what his next plan was.

"It stands to reason that since the stone basin is a prop used to open the secret passage, it should have existed in this place at least once." Jack said as he walked to the front of the stone platform holding the knight elephant and said to He waved his wand regularly throughout the church. "Glimpse of light." He whispered.

Following his spell, a dark golden light enveloped every corner of the church.Countless things that had happened on the stone platform in the past began to appear in the light.

"How could they do such a thing here?" When a certain clip flashed by, Hermione couldn't help but cursed in a low voice with a red face.

"Cough~cough~cough~" After listening to Hermione's questioning, Jack coughed in embarrassment.Just when he was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer the question, the stone basin they were looking for was finally taken backwards into the church and placed in the depression of the carpet in front of the statue. "This should be the stone basin we are looking for." He said while speeding up the playback speed of the retrospection spell.Soon, the vision went back to when someone used this secret passage.

"There seems to be something in that basin?" Hermione followed the illusion and looked at the source of the liquid. Her face was turned red by the inappropriate scene just now. It was obvious that the statue knight kneeling on the stone platform committed suicide in this scene. He was greatly frightened at the scene and his face turned pale.She asked with a trembling voice: "What is it doing?"

"This seems to be some ancient ritual. It should be

It should be something like those witcher sacrifice rituals.But since it can be displayed openly on the facade of a building like a church, it probably isn't something evil." Jack comforted Hermione while changing the direction of the video to analyze the mechanism that activates the ladder." This seems to be a double mechanical verification mechanism. Look at these things left along the spine of the sword.The statue will only step back to reveal the ladder hidden above when the quality of the stone basin and liquid meet the design standards. "

"That means even if there is no magic involved, we can't simply replace it with a stone basin according to the shape?" After hearing Jack's comfort, Hermione was still a little scared and tightened her clothes, but she quickly adjusted. When I have a better mentality, I put the center of my thinking on the organ in front of me. "Then where should we go to find that stone basin? Even if we use the retrospection spell, we can only trace back what happened in one place, right? God knows how long it will take to use the retrospection spell to restore the trajectory of the stone basin bit by bit?"

"This doesn't need to be so troublesome. In fact, as long as you figure out the operating mechanism of this mechanism, this mechanism is equivalent to being cracked." Jack smiled and took Hermione's still a little cold hand, gently waving the wand to light it. On Hermione's forehead.Immediately afterwards, the entire church began to become translucent in Hermione's eyes.

"What is this? Object Detection Spell? You can actually use this church as an object to use this spell?" Hermione looked at the church that had completely changed in her eyes and couldn't help but widen her eyes. The amount of magic consumed by using this spell in such a large church was simply an astronomical figure to Hermione now. "Why are there so many strange things inside the pillars and walls of this church?"

"After you build your own spell wheel, you will find that the spell is actually not that difficult. As for the things inside those pillars..." Jack said as he pulled Hermione around the room to introduce him. every mechanism he recognized. "That's not a strange thing, but a mechanism used by this building to deal with intruders."

"Now I am increasingly doubting whether Osrois really wants us to go to the Royal City from here." Hermione couldn't help but said angrily after listening to his introduction about these institutions. "I think he just wanted to use the chaos we caused to escape from the courtyard where he was detained."

"Create a chance for him to escape? How is that possible?" Jack couldn't help but shook his head after hearing Hermione's reasoning. "From my perspective on the mechanisms inside this church, once the mechanisms here are activated, the entire church will turn into a pile of construction waste almost instantly. Such a pile of construction waste is not worth the ruler's trouble. Deploy a lot of manpower to deal with it."

"Then what do you think we should do if your reasoning is correct and the stone basin was taken away by the guardian?" Hermione asked a little unconvinced after hearing Jack's words.

"Isn't this simple? We are wizards. Why do we have to learn how to use these mechanisms like the natives? Why don't we just fly up through the hole with the ladder sticking out?" Jack said directly after hearing Hermione's question. The answer made her dumbfounded.Yes, this guy has no intention of looking for the mechanism at all.The purpose of confirming the purpose and function of the stone basin just now was to determine which of the secret doors he saw in this church was real.
