Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

Every second that followed was a torment for Rice.

Every look from Helga had a different meaning in his eyes. Her inadvertent yawning and stretching would cause Les to have a stress reaction.

Like a piece of barbecue that had been roasting in the oven for two hours, Rice finally came to his senses: Isn't it reasonable that the field that Daphne comprehended is magma?

Her teacher is water. She worked in the office of "earth" all day and finally got enlightenment while staring at the flames in the fireplace. Isn't it appropriate that the field she gained enlightenment was the combination of water, fire and earth?

After the string in his mind snapped, Les' thoughts suddenly became clear.

The scope of [water] should not be limited to "water", all liquid objects are within this category. Yes, that's it!

Les's eyes suddenly lit up, like two bright little suns - magma is also liquid, so magma is "water"!

After going back and forth, Daphne finally comprehended the realm of water!

Les's abnormality attracted Helga's attention. She looked at Les in amazement and felt the strange magical fluctuations emanating from him.

Has the old viper come to some realization?

Les slowly stood up from his seat, his feet floating three inches above the ground, and said to Hufflepuff in an ethereal and magnetic voice:

"I understand."

Helga:? ? ?

"What did you realize?"

Daphne and Astoria also put down their work and looked at Les curiously, not knowing what he wanted to say.

【Everything that flows returns to water, and so do all things】

Helga:?

Salazar, do you want to listen to what you are saying? Are you crazy? I admit that I laughed a little too loudly just now, can you be more normal? !

Helga was a little panicked, because among the four, Salazar was the best at making potions. If Rowena went crazy, Salazar could use potions to save her, but if Salazar went crazy, they would be helpless.

What's even more terrible is that she has to take great pains to seal up the crazy old viper, otherwise his current state would be too dangerous - if a person like him were to lose control and run wild, it would be a world-destroying crisis.

Helga silently calculated the fighting power of both sides. She felt that she could win, but she might not be able to catch the old venomous snake. She might need Dumbledore's help. At the same time, she also complained about Rice in her heart: Didn't he just tease your student's field? Why can't you let it go?

Rice spread out his hands, and two balls of silver liquid gradually condensed in his hands.

Helga:!

She was stunned for a moment, because the magic used by Rice was not any other magic, but the purest field that could not be purer.

The realm of mercury, or the realm of quicksilver.

Helga's expression became solemn. As an old friend for many years, she knew too well what kind of character Salazar's domain was. It had nothing to do with metal like mercury, but today he used the power of his domain to conjure up a large ball of mercury.

There are only two possibilities. One is that Salazar accidentally awakened the Mercury Realm. The other is...

If we really understand what he just said, the scope of Salazar's domain is obviously much broader, and his power has been further increased.

Can a wizard or god have two realms? Of course they can, for example, Loki and Odin have multiple realms, but the phenomenon shown by Salazar is rarer than awakening an additional realm.

The second awakening of the domain, it is actually the second awakening of the domain!

When the mercury in Les's hand disappeared and was replaced by a ball of molten magma, Helga was suddenly convinced that something had happened to Salazar - his domain had undergone a second awakening, switching the concept of "water" in the domain to the concept of "liquid".

Hufflepuff showed an extremely complicated expression: the second awakening was the realm that the four of them had been pursuing tirelessly, it was truly "going one step further", "the ultimate of magic", but in the end it was the old viper who took the first step, and in such an absurd way.

I can only say that magic is so magical.

Experts see the details, while laymen see the excitement. Daphne and Astoria had no idea what was going on. They only knew that Les seemed to have done some fancy operations again.

"That shiny thing, is it mercury?"

"Yes."

"Wow, it's lava!"

"Quiet!"

After being scolded by her sister, Daphne returned to her good boy self, but her big eyes were still rolling around.

Les's eyes gradually dimmed, and he fell back to the ground with a faint smile on his lips.

"Thank you." He looked at Helga, his eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars.

Hufflepuff: ...

Shut up! I'm so jealous!

She glanced at the two sisters sitting in the corner eating melon, and couldn't help but sigh heavily: These two little girls are really lucky.

"You are lucky to have witnessed the second awakening of the domain. His domain has become even more powerful." She turned to introduce to the Greengrass sisters what the second awakening of the domain was.

Rice listened quietly at the side, and added a sentence from time to time based on his own insights, which also benefited Helga a lot - after all, Rice was the only person she knew who was willing to communicate with her and had awakened his field for the second time.

However, as Rice's introduction deepened, Helga also noticed a problem: since Rice's focus has changed from "water" to "liquid", does that mean he no longer has the power to suppress previous sub-fields such as "cloud" and "fog"?

"You can say that, but since those things come from water, I still have strong control over them. I can suppress those areas by preventing water from turning into steam. Also, I want to remind you that fog is composed of tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air near the ground. This is still within the control scope of liquids. You should catch up on Muggle physics. I believe Miss Hermione Granger of Ravenclaw College will definitely be willing to lend a hand."

Helga felt like she was losing control of her body temperature, Salazar's words causing her blood pressure to spike.

"Okay, let's stop making parts here for today." She made a prompt decision and ordered them to leave.

I am not afraid of my brothers having a hard life, I am afraid of my brothers driving a Land Rover. This situation also exists in the magic world. Salazar is undoubtedly the first one among the four to drive a "Land Rover". Helga is so envious that her teeth are about to break. She really can't imagine how she and Salazar would feel if they stayed in the same room for a whole day. It must be extremely painful, and every minute and every second would be torture!

Les didn't say much to her and directly left Helga's office with Daphne and Astoria.

"So, Les, how did you suddenly awaken again?" Daphne asked curiously.

Les smiled and said nothing.

Daphne deserves at least 30% of the credit for the second awakening of this domain.

"Since there is a second awakening, will there be a third or fourth awakening?" Astoria asked. She had been thinking about this question for a long time. She wanted to ask it in the office just now, but seeing that Professor White looked unhappy, she didn't mention it.

This question silenced Les because he didn't know either.

Theoretically, it is feasible. The so-called domain is actually a concept or a powerful effect. For example, if you have control over the "fog" in an area, that is the fog domain.

After the second awakening of such a realm, it may become the water realm, or it may become something else. Rice has proved that the water realm can continue to awaken, that is, the third awakening. But whether this realm can continue to awaken is uncertain. It should be said that it is theoretically feasible, but no one has achieved it.

"It's hard to say, it should be possible. Okay, don't think about it, the two of you just need to focus on awakening your realm." Rice said to the two of them half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"it is good!"

"it is good……"

The three of them walked towards the Slytherin common room together, leaving Helga alone in the office to "be quiet".

After Salazar and the others left, Helga's mood gradually calmed down.

Regardless, she was happy that her friend had made progress—even if that person was Salazar.

She also used Salazar's ideas to think about the possible second awakening direction in her own field.

After a while, she suddenly realized that she had left Cedric in the common room last night and had not taken care of him! Thinking of this, she didn't care about continuing to study the field and ran straight to the Hufflepuff common room.

Helga arrived not too late, she arrived just as Cedric regained consciousness.

"Have some of this to replenish your energy." Helga strode into the common room and took out a piece of chocolate from his arms.

Cedric was still in a daze, obviously not yet recovered from the battle last night.

He subconsciously took the chocolate from the teacher, but the excessive movement affected the injury on his shoulder, causing him to grimace.

The pain quickly brought Cedric back to consciousness. He turned his head to look at Helga, muttering: "Teacher——"

"Eat it first." Helga interrupted Cedric.

Cedric was a good and obedient boy. After hearing what the teacher said, he stopped talking and concentrated on finishing the chocolate that Helga handed to him.

He bit off the chocolate, chewed it and swallowed it. Cedric felt a warm current rising from his stomach, going straight up from his stomach to the top of his head, sweeping away all the fatigue in his body.

After eating a whole piece of chocolate, Cedric had the illusion that he had fully recovered, and even the wound on his shoulder didn't seem to hurt so much.

"Teacher, can this chocolate be distributed to the Quidditch team members? It seems very suitable for replenishing energy during the game!" The first thing Cedric thought of was Quidditch, which made Helga laugh and cry.

"I'm afraid not, because energy potion has been added to this chocolate. Eating it is against the rules of Quidditch." Helga, who has been in the modern wizarding world for a long time, has a full understanding of all kinds of common sense and rules. She even knows the complicated rules of Quidditch clearly.

Cedric sighed with regret, but after a few seconds he reacted and asked the teacher if he could provide this kind of chocolate to the team members during training?

It shouldn't be against the rules to take it during training, right?

Helga was speechless. But after thinking about it carefully for a while, she found that it seemed to be possible. Then she could make a few more pieces herself. But the members of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team would be in trouble.

She didn't even need to think to know what Digory would do after getting the energy chocolate. The academy with the most insane training among the four academies was likely to change hands.

"Teacher, last night——"

"The people who attacked you are from the Secret Order. Don't worry, I have already dealt with them." Hufflepuff gave Cedric a brief introduction to the hidden organization, the Secret Order.

Cedric's expression became more serious.

Seeing her student looking worried, Helga quickly counseled him not to worry too much. After all, she would support him if the sky fell.

"It would be great if I could awaken the realm..." After learning about the existence of the Secret Order, Cedric ignited his desire for the realm.

"There will be a domain." At this point, Helga remembered that Cedric still had an injury on his shoulder, so she repeated to Cedric what Salazar had told her about the injury.

"Try your best to use the power of the earth domain to eliminate the remnants of the domain at the wound. I think this will be very helpful for you to master the domain." Helga explained seriously, and Cedric nodded repeatedly.

After giving Cedric a few instructions and handing him a new bracelet and a small jar of soil, Helga left the warm lounge.

The bracelet was used to save Diggory's life, and it was considered to be a supplement for the previous consumption. The soil was used to heal wounds. If Cedric could not hold on, the soil in the jar would be sprinkled on the wound. The soil containing Helga's power would neutralize the residual light and dark fields in the wound and speed up the healing of the wound.

She trusted Cedric to use them properly.

Although not many students stayed on campus during Christmas, Hogwarts still prepared a very sumptuous Christmas meal.

However, due to the small number of students, Dumbledore did not continue the tradition of dining at separate tables for the four houses. If there were not many people, it would be too lonely and would cause serious waste. Given that there are no more than ten students in a house, how much food can be eaten at each meal? But a portion of food must be prepared for each table. If a dish is on the Gryffindor table but not on the Slytherin table, God knows how much trouble it will cause.

The four college tables disappeared, and were replaced by a staff table, which was placed in the center of the auditorium for teachers and students who stayed on campus.

Les and Helga walked into the auditorium one after another. When they saw the table and the students from various colleges gathered around it, they were both stunned: If they had chosen this way of dining back then...

A whirlwind of thoughts raced through their minds until the person behind them gently pushed them.
