Chapter 517: The Fully Functional Shenming Temple, Sincerity Is the Greatest Killer Move (1/2)
Chapter 517 The fully functional Shenming Temple, sincerity is the greatest killer move
Sirius' soul touched the contract and officially signed his name.
"The contract is done, you must not try to break it.
In a way, this is a soul contract."
"What will happen if it is broken?" Sirius asked a little nervously.
"The burning of fire, the sinking of nightmares, the permanent seal, the reincarnation of repentance, etc." Every time Aaron said this, Sirius shuddered. He had never been so panicked when he was imprisoned in Azkaban.
"Don't be nervous, I'm a very kind person.
These are too cruel and not suitable for you.
The punishment I give is very simple. Once you break the contract, you will never see Harry Potter again in your life."
Sirius:......
"Are you a devil?"
"Hey! Can you find another angel like me?" Aaron said unhappily, "If you don't want to, you can try the four I mentioned before one by one."
"No need." Sirius said immediately.
"Don't think I can't do it. For the Gaius family, the contract is fair and sacred.
Once it is signed, even gods and demons cannot violate it. Even if I am expelled from the family, the contract has the same effect."
"I believe this, but...what if you don't resurrect me within two years?"
"The punishment is the same." Aaron said indifferently, "I will never see my friend Harry Potter again."
"Hehe!" Sirius' mouth twitched, "Doesn't your conscience hurt? This punishment seems to be insignificant to you!"
"Remove the word 'seemingly'." Aaron said very sincerely, "If I can avoid him, I would rather donate 99% of the Black family's wealth. Do you know how troublesome your godson is?
But you can rest assured of my character. I will definitely do the contract I made."
Sirius nodded helplessly. The situation is stronger than people. Now he has no right to choose at all.
But fortunately, Aaron is not 100% sure of Phineas's thoughts, so he made some additions to the second clause of the contract.
If his great-great-grandfather did not agree to be a notary, Aaron would still resurrect him in two years, and the reward would be 90% of the Black family's wealth in two years.
"Now that the matter has been settled, some things can't be hidden from you." Aaron said, and then snapped his fingers.
Snap!
The illusion was removed, and the real Shenming Temple was exposed in front of Sirius.
The throne on the high platform, the statue of Salazar Slytherin behind the throne, a garden and a hot spring pool on the left, and a study room and storage racks on the right.
In addition, there are secret rooms, restaurants, bedrooms, alchemy rooms, prophecy rooms, storage rooms, granaries, etc., everything is available.
Each room has been expanded by the traceless extension spell, at least as large as the Hogwarts Great Hall. They are not completely connected, but the effective planning and layout make every inch of space reasonably utilized, forming a sense of beauty without any violation.
"Merlin's beard!" Sirius' eyes widened in disbelief, "This palace is more luxurious than the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and its functions are much more complete."
"You have vision." Aaron said proudly, "I named this palace the Palace of Divine Sound, and it took more than two years to barely complete the transformation.
It may be small, but it has everything. It is my biggest effort at the moment.
As long as there are enough resources, almost anything can be done here. I need enough money to maintain the normal operation of this base."
Sirius was extremely shocked. The most feared thing about people is comparison.
Others built a secret base when they were sixteen, and what was he doing when he was sixteen? Bullying Snape with James and others?
What's more terrifying is that it took two or three years to transform this base, which means that he had the idea of building a base a few years ago and put it into action.
Damn! He started to roll up when he was a teenager, and he didn't let others live?
"Great, really great." Sirius said with some admiration, "But how did you think of building a palace?
Logically speaking, with your family background, it would be easy to win without doing anything."
"There are many reasons, mainly to prevent trouble before it happens!" Aaron sighed, "The facts prove that I am damn right. What is the difference between my current family background and a blank slate?
I have felt a sense of urgency since the day I offended Voldemort. In fact, I can hide at home. The ups and downs outside have no effect on me, but I don't want to.
At home, someone follows me no matter what I do. The feeling of not being free is very awkward, and I have to go to a lot of cram schools at home. Believe me, it is not ordinary tired.
But there must be a safe haven outside, so I spent a lot of time and energy to build this secret palace. It is safe enough here, and no one can control me."
Sirius immediately felt the same way. His situation was very different from Aaron's, but there were some similarities in terms of rebellion.
He felt that the pressure from his family was too great, so he resolutely ran away from home and lived in the Potter family.
"To be honest, I understand your feelings very well."
"You understand nothing." Aaron did not hide his speechlessness, "Don't say such nonsense in the future, unless you are me, you can't understand."
Sirius:......
"From now on, stay here honestly for two years and don't run around."
"I know." Sirius said aggrievedly, "But at least tell me where this is? Which country has a statue of Salazar Slytherin in the specific location?"
"There is one in Hogwarts." Aaron said lightly.
"Hogwarts?" Sirius frowned slightly, "You mean you built this palace in Hogwarts, under Dumbledore's nose?"
"I guess so!
This is deep underground, originally the Chamber of Secrets built by Salazar Slytherin."
"Fuck!" Sirius was shocked, "You really... Aren't you worried that Dumbledore will find out?"
"No worries!" Aaron said seriously, "After the second year, I spent a long time digging a tunnel from my dormitory to the Chamber of Secrets.
As for the original road, even the pipes connecting the Chamber of Secrets were blocked by me.
Even if Dumbledore didn't investigate in depth, he would only think that the Chamber of Secrets had collapsed. Even if he wanted to investigate in depth, it would be impossible in a short time.
If you don't know the secret passage, you have to dig for at least a year and a half to find the Chamber of Secrets deep underground, and... This is not a simple secret base."
As soon as the voice fell, yellow lightning suddenly flashed above the Chamber of Secrets, and the huge thundercloud instantly covered the entire ceiling.
At the same time, several huge magic circles slowly rotated on the floor and walls, and each one made Sirius' scalp numb, and he wanted to run away.
"What are these?" Sirius asked palely.
"Ultimate elemental magic and thunder-attributed forbidden magic, normally, can easily destroy the entire Hogwarts school."
"Are you crazy?"
"I'm very calm." Aaron said calmly, "This is deep underground and can't affect Hogwarts.
Once the enemy invades and breaks through the defense of the main gate of the hall, I will activate these magics, and then this place will become an elemental ocean full of destructive power. Even Dumbledore and Voldemort will find it difficult to confront head-on, and they will lose a layer of skin if they don't die."
"Hiss!"
Sirius took a breath of cold air, looking at everything around him, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
This is not a secret room, it's clearly a fortress!
"Do you really need to?" Sirius gritted his teeth and said, "The geographical location here is safe enough. No one can find it."
"I think all problems will be prefixed with a prefix, just in case.
It is said that it is better to die with honor than to live in disgrace. If you dare to break in, you will have to pay the price." Aaron said lightly, "Besides, only if the invaders defend desperately can I leave safely."
Sirius smiled, and his smile was very far-fetched.
He understood why Dumbledore was willing to risk his old face to tie Aaron to the chariot. This was not just ordinary cruelty!
But to be honest, through this palace, it can be seen that Aaron's ability to consider things is very comprehensive.
As long as he stands on the side of the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore's plan will be sufficiently guaranteed.
"By the way, there is another person you need to meet." Aaron said.
The thought body then removed the illusion on its body and stood next to Aaron, "Good afternoon, Mr. Black."
"You, why are you here?"
"I have always been here. To be exact, I have been here much longer than him. This secret room was mainly transformed by me."
"But you... aren't his brother?
You didn't go to Hogwarts either!"
Aaron and the thought body smiled at each other, "We are relieved to hear you say that."
"What do you mean?" Sirius asked in great confusion.
"I am his clone." The thought body laughed, "I used a part of my own magic power to create a clone that is exactly the same as the original body."
"That means what we saw in the Department of Mysteries..."
"It was me. Are you surprised or surprised?" The thought body teased, and then sighed, "I originally wanted to put pressure on Voldemort, but the Order of the Phoenix that appeared at the right time disrupted my plan."
"Gaius." Sirius looked at Aaron with some fear, "If he is your clone, how strong are you now?"
"A little stronger than you." Aaron pinched a gap between his index finger and thumb, and said very easily, "I know what you are thinking, but you really think too much.
I am just a magician, and there is still a long way to go before I can become a great magician.
The clone relies on the magic power I provide to exist. Once the magic power is exhausted, it will disappear. I need to provide him with magic power from time to time to maintain normal activities. His power cannot be added to me. "
"I see. "
Hearing this explanation, Sirius breathed a sigh of relief.
He hoped that Aaron would be strong enough to facilitate Dumbledore's arrangements, but he didn't want Aaron to be too strong, because then he would jump out of Dumbledore's plan.
In this way, even if he was an ally standing on the opposite side of Voldemort, there would be considerable twists and turns.
Sirius did not doubt Aaron. First, there was no need. He even signed the contract to sell himself. There was no reason for Aaron to hide it from him.
Second, this was too incredible. If the power could be superimposed, Aaron would be a veritable great wizard.
A sixteen-year-old great wizard, this is not a joke.
Drag such a genius great wizard into the water, just thinking about it is ridiculous, it is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Seeing this, Aaron and the thought body flashed a smile in their eyes.
He can't play Dumbledore's Although he is an old fox, it is still easy to deal with a little Sirius. How hard can it be to deceive an idiot who has been in prison for more than ten years and doesn't know how to cry out for injustice?
You must be on guard against others. Rather than saying that the thought body is his trump card, it is better to say that the strength of the great magician is more accurate.
And he can only control Sirius for two years at most. After two years, he is not trustworthy.
During this period, the existence of the thought body must be hidden, so we have to find a way to reduce the role of the thought body. At this time, sincerity is the biggest killer.
After such a "frank" communication, Sirius will only admire Aaron's ability and will take the initiative to avoid the most correct answer.
"I have to make some things clear in advance. My clone can occasionally accompany you to relieve boredom and help you convey some things you care about, such as Harry Potter, but you can't disturb him when he is studying and working."
"Don't worry, I know the limit."
"You can participate when we discuss things, but you have to avoid when you should."
"Understood."
"I mean being sealed. "Aaron emphasized, "Don't think I'm unkind. Otherwise, we will be worried." Sirius hesitated for a moment and nodded silently. It's just a seal, just take it as a sleep. His attitude made Aaron and the thought body very satisfied. Then a morgue was opened in the Shenming Hall and Sirius' body was placed in it. If it was kept in the hall, it would affect the mood. The next day, Hogwarts received the latest edition of the Daily Prophet. Dumbledore and Potter were vindicated... The Minister was about to resign... Umbridge was suspended for investigation... The man who couldn't even be named was back... The headmaster of Hogwarts resumed his original position... Every headline was very eye-catching. The students who finished the exams found it incredible after reading the newspaper. The news of Voldemort's comeback was simply a stone that stirred up a lot of people. The thousand waves caused a lot of panic, but Dumbledore's restoration to his original position also made them feel a long-lost sense of security.
Umbridge was taken back to the school hospital, and Dumbledore rescued her from the Forbidden Forest, but no one knew the specific process except the two of them.
Umbridge was already exhausted by the torture of the centaurs. After being rescued, she received an order to be suspended for investigation, especially her backer Cornelius Fudge was also in trouble.
It was only a day, but it seemed like a lifetime to her. All her rights disappeared. She was eager to leave Hogwarts, which made her embarrassed and wanted to find a crack to crawl into.
But her injuries forced her to stay in the school hospital. Students and professors seemed to have agreed to visit her in the school hospital from time to time. The mocking voices and smiles made her feel hopeless.
