Hogwarts Wandering Wizard

Chapter 120 Crown and Stone Statue

Under the silence of the three people, the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor once again welcomed a new guest.

Looking at the room beyond the door that was wider than the church, George and Fred could almost fit a duck egg in their open mouths.

This was much bigger than the room they imagined outside the door. Not only was it tall, but it was also filled with all kinds of clutter, including dusty cabinets and women's dressing boxes with precision locks. , as well as different styles of shabby books... These are left by thousands of former students of Hogwarts. Many of them may no longer be alive, and only these are left abandoned by them in the room. things that prove they once existed.

"There are many locks here. I have seen this one before. My mother has an ancestral box with this lock. I remember it was from the 15th century."

George suddenly picked up a box, pulled the lock on it, and broke the lock in a burst of rotten wood dust.

Fred also stood in front of a huge divided wardrobe, glanced at the lock that locked the door, and said with a puzzled expression: "By the way, what kind of lock are we looking for? I just focused on this cabinet." I saw four or five kinds of locks.”

Eric took a look behind him, pointed his finger on the second lock, and said to the Weasley brothers: "There are five locks on the bookshelf where the book is and on that floor, and two of them are The lock looks like this, and there’s another lock like the one George just got.”

After using the lock-picking spell to remove these locks, Eric looked up and down a few times, pressed them again, and handed them to Fred: "Study first, and I'll look for others."

Fred nodded, because only Eric among the three had close contact with the bookshelf, so he could only ask him to find all these different types of locks.

Eric moved around the room, cleaning the dust off the locks with his wand from time to time, and carefully identifying the locks belonging to various eras.

When he turned a corner made of debris, a faint whisper suddenly came to his ears.

anyone?

Eric raised his wand in confusion and looked around.

No one answered him, only the faint whisper reached his ears. After careful identification, it seemed that a person with a hoarse voice was constantly tempting him, saying that he would give him power.

"With me, you will have the most powerful power in the world, and you will become the most intelligent being in the world..."

Intermittent hoarse sounds continued to reach his ears. Eric squinted his eyes slightly and observed his surroundings.

This scene was like being in the restricted book section of the library. The books that were imprisoned by chains kept whispering nonsense in his ears, such as giving you power.

When Eric glanced at the pile of debris, he saw a pockmarked stone bust of a wizard placed neatly on a high cabinet. The wooden boards on the surface of the cabinet were foamy, swollen and dilapidated, but the top The bust of the stone statue is extremely new, and someone even put a gray wavy wig on the head of the stone statue.

"Oh, I was shocked. I thought there was someone standing there."

Eric patted his chest and was about to continue walking forward when he suddenly stopped and suddenly turned his head to look at the bust of the wizard.

Details that had been forgotten for a long time kept emerging and spliced ​​together in his mind, and Eric suddenly remembered a story in the original work.

It seems... Voldemort has a Horcrux hidden here.

He stepped towards the stone statue, took it down from the low cabinet, and placed it on a short bedside table.At the same time, he was surprised to find that although he didn't know how long the stone statue had been there, the cleaning spell on it still had an effect.

Not only is there no dust at all, but there is also a hint of rose fragrance.

Eric used his wand to push aside his wavy wig and narrowed his eyes.

There is indeed a quaint crown hidden in the middle of the wig.

Eric looked at the exquisite women's simple crown in front of him, his eyes focused on the huge gem filled with black mist in the center of the crown, and the answer emerged in his heart.

"Ravenclaw's Crown of Wisdom."

As he said these words, a small line of text slowly appeared under the crown's gem: Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind.

As the wig covering the crown moved away, the whispers that had been ringing in Eric's ears became faster and faster, from a hoarse male voice at the beginning, to a mixed voice of men and women, and finally as if countless people were speaking. After chanting a spell quickly, Eric finally grabbed the wig out of frustration and threw the crown on top of it into the system backpack.

The moment the crown disappeared, the noisy whispers finally stopped. Eric rubbed his ears, looked at the stone statue in front of him that seemed to have been whipped by countless magic spells, and knocked on its forehead teasingly: "On brainwashing , you are still far away.”

Satisfied, he turned around and left. After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back, his thin eyebrows furrowed, and he carefully looked at the half-length wizard stone statue from this angle. Although the surface of the stone statue looked bumpy, Eric always had a clue. A ridiculous feeling.

This stone statue looks somewhat similar to his face...

It's like a grown-up version of myself.

Eric didn't know where this illusion came from, but as he observed carefully, the strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Just as he was getting more and more confused, the stone bust in front of him suddenly blinked his eyes, as if he came to life, and his head turned slightly to meet Eric's eyes.

The moment their eyes met, there was an explosion in Eric's mind. Severe pain instantly invaded his brain, making him cover his temples.

Looking at the stone statue with stone arms in front of him that jumped down from the bedside table, Eric quickly raised his wand and sent out a barrage of obstacles.

The newborn stone statue was still very bulky. The body that fell on the ground was slowly growing legs. Facing Eric's impact, the stone statue could only raise its arms to block it, but the next moment it was knocked away by the strong impact. He went out and fell into the pile of debris behind him, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Seeing this, Eric kept using floating spells and falling to the ground. He moved countless heavy objects around him and pressed them towards the place where the stone statue fell. He wanted to suppress the stone statue that turned into a living creature, and by the way, he also sent out a bolt of lightning. Thunder, at the moment when thunder and lightning erupted, an iron armor spell was also placed on his body.

Thanks to this subconscious action, at the next moment, a bolt of thunder rushed over from between the falling heavy objects, accurately hit the barrier that Eric had just raised, and shattered it.

The impact of the barrier's rupture immediately threw Eric away, but he adjusted his body shape in the air, and used the force of the pushback to pull away from him. He waved his wand, and all kinds of magic spells came from him. flew out of the wand.

Thunder and lightning, flames, many obstacles, armor protection...

Eric's eyes were locked on the dust that was constantly throwing things, and he quickly fired out a stream of thunder and lightning. He also took out a space and threw out a fluorescent light group, which exploded in the dust, illuminating the demon who was struggling to resist him. The figure of the curse.

Holding the wand in his right hand and spinning it around his shoulder, Eric accumulated magic power for two seconds. The tip of the wand emitted a thunderbolt that did not break but was stronger. It accurately hit the illuminated body in the dust, but was bombarded continuously. A few seconds later, he keenly noticed that the figure trapped in the debris was not knocked down by the curse. Instead, he easily broke free from the shackles of the debris around him due to the agitation of his scattered thunder and lightning power.

The dust around it also exploded in all directions under the action of the electrostatic field, revealing his fully grown body. Eric also clearly saw the thunder he emitted, which was easily blocked by the white stone statue with his right hand. , and at the same time, its left hand picked up an old chair on the ground and threw it towards him forcefully.

Eric stopped the unnecessary attack, dodged the chair that was coming, looked at the changes ahead, and behaved like a human being - raised his arms, looked down at his new body The stone statue squinted its eyes and slowly asked:

"Who are you?"
