I, Hogwarts Week Two

The ruins are full of enemies.

The goblins have completely lost control of this place.

When Owen and Hermione arrived at the elevator, they found that it had lost control. The runes on the surface no longer emitted light, and it had turned into a piece of stone.

"It seems that the elevator is also part of the ruins." Owen said, then opened his arms and hugged Hermione.

The Goblin Kingdom, like any other important place, has a powerful anti-Apparition spell. The anti-spell here is even more powerful than that of Hogwarts. The goblins should have used their magic to make their own Apparition spell ineffective.

"Hold tight—"

Hermione's cheeks flushed slightly, and she obeyed Owen's request, leaning forward with her whole body and grasping his back tightly with her arms.

Then she found that her feet seemed to leave the ground.

Owen took her and flew straight up.

Like an arrow, or a meteor, it rushed up at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, leaving a long white smoke trail.

Flying spell - this is a spell invented by Voldemort.

The flying spell that Owen cast was no different from Voldemort's original spell. The only difference was that he changed the color, replacing the black smoke with white smoke.

He had previously planned to give this spell to Hermione.

But during that time Hermione and other young wizards were busy learning the Apparition Charm and other Defense Against the Dark Arts spells.

So he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​teaching the flying spell - as for later, he forgot about it because there were too many things to do.

Hermione was in Owen's arms, feeling the speed of flight, with surprise and happiness intertwined in her heart. "You can actually fly!" She shouted in disbelief, with a tremor in her voice.

"I'll teach you in a few days," said Owen.

"it is good--"

The speed of the flying spell was much faster than the elevator. As he spoke, Owen took Hermione away from the underground ruins and returned to the goblin city.

As soon as I landed, several strange goblins rushed over.

Owen and Hermione looked at each other and without further ado, they tacitly launched a defense. Owen waved his wand casually, and a few precise spells instantly knocked down the monsters that rushed to the front.

But they don't seem to be afraid and continue to move forward.

At this moment, Sirius appeared in their sight like a savior. He was wearing a black robe and his brows were furrowed. Only after he saw Owen and Hermione did his expression relax a little.

"Owen, Hermione." He waved the magic spell to hold up the armor spell to keep out the large number of monsters.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Owen shrugged and replied.

He was quite sure that the person in front of him was Sirius himself.

The monsters were crudely disguised and seemed unable to cast spells.

"boom--"

There were a few strange noises, and some pieces of rubble hit the Iron Armor Curse.

"Huh?" Owen glanced over. Just when he thought that these guys couldn't cast spells, they let him slip a trick.

A group of strange goblins in front were controlling more rubble and debris and throwing them at them.

Those who had already rushed to Sirius's Shield Charm stretched out their hands, and then in full view of everyone, their hands turned into some kind of flowing metal, and then the metal slowly transformed into long swords.

The monsters raised their arms that had turned into long swords and swung them madly at the Iron Armor Curse.

This scene reminded Hermione of something instantly, and she blurted out, "This is - that kind of metal slug!" There was a hint of shock and uneasiness in her voice, but her hands moved without hesitation. A series of complex spells flew out of her mouth, like a woven net, quickly and accurately covering the monsters wielding metal swords, defeating them one by one.

"The goblins call these things golems," Sirius explained as he fought off the golems' attack. "Something happened to these creatures a few minutes ago. They suddenly became limp, and then after a dozen seconds they transformed into goblins and started a rebellion."

"Golen? A few minutes ago?" Owen smacked his lips and realized that this was because he had taken the Star Tears from the obelisk.

It turns out that the obelisk's ability to rewrite the thinking of artificial life is not permanent - it has to be maintained.

As for the name Golem, in the third century BC, the Talmud recorded the story of an artificial man named Golem and how to make it. The word Golem first appeared in the Old Testament Psalms, meaning "unformed human being": before God put his soul into Adam's body, the latter was just a clay doll, so it was considered the first Golem.

Later, some rabbis who were proficient in Jewish mysticism used clay to shape human dolls and engraved sacred Hebrew words on their foreheads to generate magical power, thus creating artificial people with simple mobility. Rabbi Rava once sent a golem to a friend. The friend spoke to it, but it did not respond at all, so he said: "You were created by the wise, and you will return to dust."

After hearing this, the Golem immediately turned into a pile of mud. This shows that the Golem is slow in action, has no emotions, does not understand language, and can only follow orders. He is just a walking corpse.

The creature represented by this legendary name is similar to the one created by real fairies.

"Owen--" Hermione also realized that Golem's rebellion might be due to the fact that they took away the Star Tears.

"Don't look at me." Owen spread his hands. "I only know how to take it out, but I don't know how to put it back."

Haha——even if I knew, I couldn’t give it back.

There was no reason for him to give back the treasure he had obtained. As for the goblins, what did their death have to do with him?

"How are the goblins?" In order to prevent Hermione from getting entangled with him, Owen immediately changed the subject and asked Sirius: "These guys don't seem to have any strength."

Indeed, the attack methods of these creatures called Golems are very poor. It seems that apart from their thick skin and flesh, their ability to manipulate gravel is a little tricky. Goblins are creatures that are not weaker than wizards. It is impossible for them to be defeated by such garbage man-made creatures.

"The goblins suffered a great loss."

"what?"

"You forgot that they are all infected with the [Evil Omen]." Sirius waved his wand and dealt with a large number of golems. The three of them followed the previous path and walked towards the goblin king's court.

"The weak fairies were suddenly attacked by their own servants. Most of them didn't even have time to react and were eaten by the golems before they could even struggle."

"Eat it? No wonder we didn't see the goblin's corpse along the way." Owen said.

"The remaining goblins are now defending the royal court. Koyatel is also there." Sirius said, "Golem is indeed not that powerful. Apart from his thick skin and flesh, he has no other abilities. The goblins who react can handle it themselves."

"Yes, there are quite a few goblins in this city."

Owen had previously guessed that there might be hundreds of thousands of goblins in this city. Even if all of these goblins were infected with [Bad Omen], they would still have to prioritize. As long as there were a few thousand goblins with mild infection like Reinak, it would be enough to suppress this group of artificial creatures.

However, the goblins will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Those severely disabled goblins will be caught off guard and will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Fighting.

The three of them had already arrived at the Fairy King's Court.

From a distance, Owen saw Coyatel waving his wand and casting a powerful origin spell, facing hundreds of golems.

Behind her, the fairies were also helping, casting all kinds of spells, but their power was far inferior to that of the origin spell.

It's hard to imagine that she would one day protect fairies.

Just as Owen was expressing his feelings.

Koyatel immediately ran towards them.

Due to her sudden departure, a huge loophole appeared in the fairies' defense line, and several fairies were beheaded by the Golems who suddenly attacked them in an instant.

There was an immediate commotion among the goblins.

Along with a few strange and sharp voices, the broken battle line was reorganized.

The gap left by Koyatel was filled by the goblins.

"Uh--" Owen raised his eyebrows. This guy really didn't care about the life or death of the fairy at all.

----

Goren's rebellion was put down by the goblins in a few hours.

This is indeed not an opponent.

Not even as dangerous as some of Fred and George's prank props.

The next step is the cleanup work. After all, there are a lot of Golems and the kingdom is very large, so there must be remnants in some places.

As for Owen, he was intrigued by the goblins' panicked rush toward the ruins.

Led by a group of goblins, they went to a cultivation area dedicated to the production of golems.

This is a huge tree-shaped factory.

There was a faint, unsettling mist in the air, as if even the light was absorbed by the mist. The surrounding scene was eerie and strange. Under the huge tree, huge containers were densely hung like insect eggs. Sticky silver liquid could be vaguely seen flowing slowly in the containers, and occasionally a low gurgling sound could be heard. That was the sound of the Golem embryo growing in the liquid.

Owen walked into the container beside him and wiped off the dust on the surface.

In the container, a silvery embryo-like object can be clearly seen.

A long umbilical cord extends from the embryo's abdomen and connects to the top of the container. It is thought that various nutrients are supplied to the embryo from here.

Owen withdrew his gaze and looked to both sides and even to the jars further away.

Not all of the jars contained embryos.

The further down the tree-like factory goes, the more sound the embryonic development is.

This made Owen see many terrifying things - the goblins seemed to be trying the blood of various creatures to create golems.

At least Owen saw more than a dozen creatures including centaurs, mermaids, humans, etc.

The mixed bloodlines of these creatures intertwined and merged in the silver liquid, forming a series of pictures that were both strange and shocking.

Some of the embryos have already taken on human form, but their limbs are twisted into the shape of fish fins or horse hooves; some have grown scales covering the surface of what should have been smooth skin; and some embryos have blurred facial features, as if they are a fusion of the facial features of multiple creatures. They are neither human nor of any known species.

Any normal wizard would go crazy if he stood here, in this crazy place that challenges the laws of nature and the boundaries of ethics.

But - Owen didn't think so much.

There wasn't even any emotion like anger.

Just watching calmly.

Suddenly, a deep and powerful heartbeat echoed throughout the tree-like factory, coming from deep within the core of the tree-like structure. Inside a huge special jar.

That special jar seemed more majestic and mysterious than the others, its surface inlaid with strange runes that flickered slightly with the rhythm of the heartbeat, as if it contained some ancient and powerful power.

The sound of the heartbeat became clearer and clearer, and every beat shook the air around it, causing Owen to focus all his attention on the jar.

Inside the jar, the silver liquid churned even more violently, as if stirred by an invisible force.

In this chaos, a figure gradually emerged. Its outline was blurry, but one could feel an unprecedented vitality and sense of oppression.

This is not just an embryo, but more like an ancient god that is about to awaken, with power and wisdom beyond imagination.

"Tsk——"

When Owen saw clearly the appearance of the creature in the jar, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise into a sneer.

Although the figure in the jar is just beginning to take human form.

But the silver hair, and the fact that he was standing there, the creature seemed to sense something and opened its red eyes.

Miss Granger had guessed correctly.

The goblin actually has a plan to create a god.

"Mr. Luo-Rozier." The goblin France looked at him with some fear.

After realizing Goren's betrayal, France and a group of fairy scholars immediately realized that something strange might happen in the cultivation area.

When I arrived, I was in such a hurry that I didn't notice someone following me.

Just now when he checked many embryo jars, most of them were dead. This was what he had expected. The moment he walked into the ruins, he keenly felt that the ancient magic power that served as energy in the ruins had disappeared.

Although he could not feel the ancient magic, he had studied it for decades and had been in contact with magic for decades. Even though he was not the heir, some of the ancient magic had seeped into his body over time. It was very little, but it gave him a keen intuition about the ancient magic.

And now, this cultivation room gave him a strong sense of loss.

But - the embryo in front of me is different.

Although the embryo itself only has a human form, he knows that it is a living being.

"Haha..." Owen sneered. His eyes did not linger on the fairy France, but silently stared at the embryo in the jar in front of him.

The life in the jar had nothing to do with him.

There is no way a goblin could get his bloodline.

Silver hair and red eyes——

Or maybe——

Owen thought of a possibility. It was a bit absurd and required evidence.

"Humanity--"

Suddenly, an ethereal voice came to his ears.

As expected, it was coming from the half-dead embryo in front of him.

There was no hesitation.

Owen raised his wand, and the Avada Kedavra instantly engulfed the entire jar.
