Chapter 573 Destined

,!

Outside Wallop Manor, next to the flower field by the lake.

Summer has just arrived, and it is the season when roses bloom every year. The lush flowers beside the lake bloom into a sea of ​​flowers, among which white roses and red roses are the brightest colors.

These two kinds of flowers are distinct on the outside, forming a half-red and half-white flower line. Going inside, red and white are mixed together again, pure and warm.

In the center of the flowers is a towering tree. This tree not only looked like this when Sean was a child, but also his father and grandfather saw it when they were young. Of course, Sean now knows that this tree has grown for nearly a thousand years. , the magic derived from passionate love and life-and-death commitment keeps it standing here.

In the only clearing next to the tree, Sean was swinging a shovel.

It wasn't until he dug a hole big enough to accommodate two people that he stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

As a wizard, using magic spells should be a better and more convenient choice, but Sean felt that building a tomb for these two people with his own hands might be a better way to express his grief.

Although it is simple, Sean feels that this is the place where the two of them most want to sleep together.

The female skeleton and the knight's armor were wrapped by Sean in a velvet curtain decorated with golden flowers. They snuggled together and were carefully wrapped into the tomb by Sean, and then gently put down.

Putting the jewelry box and the Broken Rose Blood Pact into the arms of the two of them who never let go, Sean climbed up and started filling in the soil without saying a word.

The tomb is slowly taking shape, and the black soil by the lake hides the knight and princess.

Dragging a stone slab from the lakeside, Sean carefully carved the names of the two of them on it.

Ricks Wallop and Grevas Ochoa are buried here.

"Your love carries the weight of the world, but each is better than the other."

Leaving an epitaph, Sean gently picked a white rose and a red rose. The branches of the two flowers were intertwined and deeply rooted in front of the tomb.

After doing all this, Sean fell into silence looking at the tombs of the two people.

After a long time, he sighed and left.

He found the key that allowed Dumbledore to enter the trance, and he also knew why Dumbledore said he wanted to find Ariana.

An ancient pure golden key appeared in Sean's hand.

The key is about the size of half a palm and has a simple shape. The only strange thing is that the entire key is covered with a layer of mist, as if it does not exist in this world.

When it fell into his hand, the key was cold, but it gave Sean a strange feeling of detachment. He was clearly holding the key, but he felt that it shouldn't belong to this world.

It certainly doesn't belong in this world.

Sean's expression became a little more complicated.

Not just the keys, but the notes and instructions for the keys.

Key of xxx (gold): The key to open the unknown door seems to be fished out from the long river. The person left behind seems to be sure to be obtained by the destined person.

This is the prize he drew from the system prize pool...

"This thing is actually used to open up the trance..."

Sean muttered, but found that the description of the key on the system had changed.

Key to the Misty Illusion (Gold): The key that opens the passage to the Misty Illusion seems to have been fished out from the long river, and the person left behind seems to be certain to be obtained by the destined person.

Sean never imagined that the keys produced by the system were actually items that existed in reality and were so critical.

The time when he pulled out the key was also very subtle. It was after he was watched by the "moon" and his soul entered the trance.

Sean followed his intuition and took the Felixir, and received the tips and gifts from the robin. After that, he used the potion's effect to draw a lottery, and then obtained the key.

A few days after that, a series of events occurred in Godric's Hollow - Dumbledore died, and his soul was unknown.

He followed a series of clues to find the basement of his family's manor, and learned more secrets about you and Dumbledore from the things left by Ricks Wallop and Grevas Ochoa. Difficulties you may face now.

And the key to unlocking the key has already been in his hands.

"Is it destined..." Sean muttered to himself.

In the past, Sean would have felt wary or depressed. He didn't like the feeling of being manipulated by others.

But now, Sean has a hint of enlightenment.

All of this needs to be done by oneself...

Moreover, if I guess correctly, this kind of destiny and this kind of gift will become less and less, and the unknown and danger ahead will become more and more terrifying.

If you don’t let me, how could it be my turn?

Sean stood thinking for a moment and finally let out a long sigh.

Then he chuckled.

"Tsk, if that's the case, then it's really my time..."

The most urgent task is to find the long river described by Grevas Ochoa.

"If my judgment is correct, then this so-called 'river' should flow from the trance and illusion, and finally come to the real world -" Sean pinched his eyebrows and muttered to himself, "Essentially, this A river is actually a channel..."

"However, no one can pass through this passage. The real passage is hidden at the junction of the soul and the present world..."

"Hey, I just remembered something. Professor Dumbledore mentioned to me before that the key stored in the Ministry of Magic, which can open the door to the illusion and the real world, was stolen..."

"Is it this one in my hand? No... Grevas Ochoa mentioned that Ricks Wallop and Dumbledore will find a path leading to a trance. In my hand The key should be the key to the trail, and the key to the door should have been taken away by the returnees. This also shows that the activities of the returnees have suddenly become much more active in the past few years, and Haierbo's clone can also come to reality. …”

"Tsk, it seems that the door key path was tampered with during the previous summer vacation, probably by Haierbo's hand..."

"The good news is that Halpo's clone in the real world has been destroyed, just like Grevas Ochoa did thousands of years ago. The bad news is that Halpo in the trance is probably much more powerful than a clone, Dumbledore Even if the professor can enter the trance through the path, he will still face great danger..."

"If the corrupted Dumbledore returns to this world, the trouble will be huge..."

"Huh? Wait..."

Sean's heart suddenly moved, and he felt that he had discovered something unreasonable.

"Professor Dumbledore took away Ricks Wallop's oil painting. He also personally solved the problem of the soul being eroded once when he returned. No, it should be twice. The same should be true for Slytherin... Then He should know that in a trance, his soul can easily be corroded by Haierbo...Should I help the professor more?"

"But I'm worried that my extra actions will ruin the professor's original plan. It would be great if I could see Professor Dumbledore's soul again..."

"Perhaps we can use the Broken Blood Alliance? But the question still returns to the original place, where is the river that connects the two worlds..."

Sean thought hard, trying to find someone who could know the relevant information.

Grindelwald? No, if he had known, he would have taken me to kill him. He is now specializing in killing those returnees and the controlled Ministry of Magic...

Ask the Sorting Hat again? But the Sorting Hat didn't know much information, so he could only go back and ask again, but there was little hope...

Let Stephanie help me find it? No, that time I came back with Professor Dumbledore's body. She spent several days and nights in the library, and she had already told me any news...

It is best to find someone who has been to the trance dreamland, but in reality who has been there and can come back? My soul's empty island belongs to a special situation... Why don't I ask Arrogance? She should know, but I don't think she would help me...

What other culpabilities? [Laziness] is unrealistic, [jealousy]... No, I just helped Reinhardt suppress [jealousy], and she won't pay attention to me... The [**] in Stephanie's body has no sign of waking up, so don't commit suicide Looking for trouble... Harry and Neville each have one culprit in their bodies, but there is no sign of waking up at all. The best way is not to disturb them and solve them naturally... The remaining culprit is not clear, but judging from the current The situation has not recovered yet...

I doubt that Voldemort has ever been to the Twisted Illusion. After all, this old boy’s soul fragments have died again and again, and his research on the soul level is extremely in-depth. However, he died in the hands of the god of death just after he was resurrected. This time I am afraid it will be completely The smoke disappeared... If he still has Horcruxes, I'm afraid he will only have the last one left. And he first betrayed Herbo, and then tried to intercept Grindelwald, and now he appears again, and I'm afraid he will become an enemy of thousands of people. With his character, even if He would never dare to show up again even if he was still alive.

How about asking Nico Flamel? Sean's eyes lit up and he felt that he had found a good candidate. This alchemist was an old friend of Dumbledore and had lived for hundreds of years. If he had information, he would definitely be willing to help him.

And, he happened to be at Hogwarts because of Dumbledore's funeral! If I remember correctly, he was placed in a guest room in the castle by Professor McGonagall...

Thinking of this, Sean immediately returned to Hogwarts without hesitation.

But after asking around, he was disappointed. The maker of the Philosopher's Stone left in a hurry after the funeral. Based on his memory from the movie, Sean approached Professor Scamander again and wanted to find out where Nico Flamel lived, but the information given by the latter also disappointed Sean. May was in seclusion, and no one knew how to find him. This time, Dumbledore's funeral was brought to him by himself.

When he was having a headache, Sean happened to meet the Potter family who had just returned in the hall. James rubbed his wet shoulders with a helpless expression.

After asking, I found out that they had gone to Hogsmeade to pick up Hagrid, who was drunk and crying, and they had just sent him back to the hut.

After saying hello, Daisy pulled Sean aside. She looked around like a thief, and after making sure no one was eavesdropping, the little white flower raised her face, with expectation in her beautiful big eyes.

"Sean? Professor Dumbledore, is he not dead?"

"Why do you say that?"

"You showed it... Based on what I know about you, if Professor Dumbledore really left us, you will definitely be sad for a long time. You have no energy to do anything recently... But since Mr. Grindelwald came, you will There is no one in sight, and there was a lot of urgency in your expression just now... Is Professor Dumbledore not dead? No, he must be in a dilemma, are you looking for a solution? "

Sean was dumbfounded, Xiao Baihua really knew himself too well... However, this reminded him to behave more normally.

Thinking of this, Sean nodded silently and whispered: "I'm thinking of a way, Daisy, remember to keep it a secret. Of course, Hermione and Stephanie can tell them."

Xiao Baihua immediately cheered up, but she reacted and immediately lowered her head, maintaining the sadness on her face.

But her voice was already filled with excitement: "I knew...then, Sean, is there anything I can do to help?"

"Not yet, don't worry, I won't let you go if something happens." Sean joked.

"Okay - oh, by the way, do you want to tell Aberforth and the others? When we just went to pick up Hagrid, Aberforth seemed to be in a bad mood..."

"I'll be there...eh? Aberforth is back?"

"Um."

Sean's eyes lit up, and he realized that he might have a better candidate.

Ariana!

After whispering a few words to Daisy, Sean shook his head, pursed his lips, put on a sad and weak look, and walked quickly towards Hogsmeade.

When he arrived at the Pig's Head Bar, he immediately saw Nagini at the counter. The latter glanced at him, indicating that Aberforth had returned.

Sean walked around the guests and walked to the back of the bar.

Arriving outside Aberforth's private room, he was about to knock on the door when the door opened and it was Aurelius.

Orui's face was very troubled. After seeing Sean, he was stunned for a moment, and then panicked inexplicably: "Sean..."

Sean was not going to hide any more and said directly: "Arianna is back?"

Orui's face tightened, and then he sighed helplessly: "You will know sooner or later, yes, my aunt is back...but..."

Aberforth's voice sounded inside: "Sean? Orui, bring him in to talk. Hmm, Sean must know more than you."

Um? Is there something wrong with Ariana's current state?

Sean thought this and walked in. Inside, Aberforth was sitting on a chair. One of his hands was trembling slightly, and there were some scorch marks and withered black skin on it.

"Aberforth? This is..."

Aberforth, who was very similar to Dumbledore, but more reckless and irritable, said in a low voice: "You should know this... Ariana is back, but her condition is very wrong..."

Is Ariana really back? Sean quickly took a step forward.

There was sadness in Aberforth's eyes: "She clearly knows my brother...but she seems to have turned into a dark wizard, the most evil person...I can only subdue her..."

Is this... eroded? Sean immediately thought of something Grevas Ochoa had mentioned.

"Arianna is in a ghost state?" he asked quickly.

"No, she's a real person. She looks just like she was in her teens..." Aberforth sighed.

"A living person? How is this possible..." Sean said in surprise.
