Chapter 292: The Land of Inheritance

Things went more smoothly than expected. Dumbledore believed everyone's words easily. Maybe he would verify it through other people's memories later, but at least he gave great trust to Hermione and others.

After Dumbledore said that he would deal with Lupin and Sirius, he asked Hermione and the other two to return to the dormitory to sleep. Although Harry wanted to talk more with Sirius, he still chose to go back at this moment, because no one could withstand Snape's eyes that wanted to kill people after waking up.

Of course, it was also related to the sudden letter that Dumbledore received at the end. After reading the letter, the old headmaster frowned and said that he would leave the school temporarily.

After the three of them returned to the dormitory together, Hermione turned on the invisibility effect again and slipped out of the lounge alone.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, what time is it?"

[It's almost midnight. ]

"Do you think I can still sleep tonight?"

[Who knows. ]

While the two were chatting, Hermione had already come to the library according to the call in her heart.

Following his feeling, he came to the bookshelf where he found "Ancient Magic: Scarlet Shock".

Still in the same position, there is another special red book at this moment.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, in my perception, this seems to be more than just a book."

[It's a door key. ]

"Then I'll take it."

[Don't worry, I'll follow you. ]

The next moment, Hermione lifted the invisibility effect and reached out to touch the red book.

Suddenly, a suction force came, and she seemed to be hooked by her belly button and entered the space channel.

The discomfort was only a moment, and when her footsteps landed again, Hermione was already in a spacious hall.

There were tall knight statues and four moving portraits around, with three men and one woman in the paintings, looking at her with curious eyes at this moment.

"Where is this?" Hermione asked vigilantly with her wand in hand.

"This is the place of inheritance, child." One of the portraits spoke gently.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, where are we?" Hermione asked again in her heart.

[Deep underground of Hogwarts Castle. 】

Hermione was still alert, "Who are you? Why did you lead me here?"

"We are the guardians of the inheritance! And you, little girl, have passed the test unintentionally and have the conditions to receive the inheritance. This is your luck!" Another portrait spoke.

"Is he telling the truth?" Hermione asked again in her heart.

[Half of it, it's just a few pedantic and pitiful guys who are worried that the ancient magic will be lost, but dare not spread it randomly, so they deliberately made a series of tests. You continue to talk to them, I have already collected the inheritance here. 】

Hermione almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard the last sentence.

"Child, are you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy to meet the place of inheritance, so what do you mean is that I can get the inheritance here? What is the content of the inheritance?" Hermione asked proactively.

"Little girl, have you heard of ancient magic?"

"I have heard that it was mostly used in ancient wars and is basically lost now."

"Then do you think it can be?"

"From what you mean, the inheritance here is ancient magic?" Hermione did not answer but asked back.

"That's right. Ancient magic is too powerful. Not everyone can control it. Otherwise, it will only cause disasters if it is spread wantonly. Moreover, it cannot be used completely without extraordinary character."

"That means, I am now qualified to learn and master it?"

"No, you are not yet."

At this time, Lu Yuan's voice sounded in Hermione's mind, [It has been collected. Some spells are not bad. I will add them to "Must-Read Magic" for you in the future. 】

Hermione almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard it.

"Little girl, is what I said funny?" One of the long-bearded men frowned.

"No, I just thought of some happy things. Since I don't have the qualifications to learn, can you send me back?"

Hermione's words made the four paintings silent.

The only woman among them asked: "Child, don't you want to learn?"

"Not really, I just think it's my luck to be able to learn. It doesn't matter if I can't learn. Modern magic is actually quite powerful." Hermione said casually, without any reluctance.

After hearing what she said, the four portraits were silent again.

"Are you serious? Think about it first." The bearded man spoke seriously.

Hermione nodded without hesitation. She even thought that she could sleep more if she went back early.

After knowing that Mr. Lu Yuan had completed the inheritance here, she had no interest in staying any longer.

Compared with the inheritance from these four people, she trusted the knowledge learned from Lu Yuan more. Not only was there never any abstract explanation in the clouds, everything was very thorough and rigorous, and some incorrect or bad knowledge points would be corrected.

With such teachings waiting for her, how could she expect to follow the inheritance process.

Just like people who have eaten refined food can no longer accept coarse food.

Hermione's unpretentious attitude made the four people in the painting silent for the third time.

According to the process they set, the selected person must finally make a strict contract oath before they agree to give things, but now he didn't even listen to the request and directly said he didn't want it.

If the others didn't care, they could just re-screen, but their original intention was to find people who had talent but wouldn't go crazy because of ancient magic.

This sounds a bit contradictory, but this is exactly why Lu Yuan commented that they were pedantic.

In their opinion, Hermione's attitude of "I'm lucky if I get it, I'm dead if I lose it" is the best choice.

Not to mention that her talent is better than the one who just came in.

This made the three people feel troubled for a while.

Finally, when Hermione was getting impatient, the four seemed to compromise and were about to relax the conditions.

Rumble~!

Suddenly, there was a tremor, and a lot of rubble fell from the top.

After the four people in the painting investigated the situation, their faces changed drastically.

"What happened?" Hermione had a bad premonition, and felt that she might not be able to sleep tonight.

"She lied to us, her goal is that energy!" One of the paintings said angrily.

"Damn, she is trying to devour it, this is simply a crazy move, we must stop her, otherwise the energy will explode directly, and the school above will no longer exist!" Another painting was even more anxious.

As he spoke, a rock wall passage suddenly opened, and the two giant knight statues in the hall moved, dragging their giant swords into the depths of the passage.

"Wait, you said the school above, am I under Hogwarts?" Hermione pretended to be confused, "What about the explosion you mentioned?!"

"Child, as you said, we are right below Hogwarts. Before you came, there was a little girl who accepted the inheritance, but she deceived us. Her purpose was to obtain the emotional energy sealed here.

We need your help now, to assist the guardian knight to stop her. That kind of swallowing behavior will only lead to a complete explosion of energy, and then everyone in the castle above will die."

Hermione almost thought her ears were broken.

"What a joke, if this kind of thing is true, of course we have to notify the principal and professor to evacuate people while trying to deal with it. What can I do alone?!"

In Hermione's opinion, this is the most correct response, but the result is.

"No! The inheritance place cannot be discovered by others." A serious man said.

Although the other three people hesitated, they finally acquiesced to this point of view.

Feeling the vibration under her feet, Hermione looked at the four people with a look like a fool, "Do you know what you are talking about? Is that shitty inheritance more important than the lives of hundreds of people?"

"You don't understand kid, if the things here are leaked, it will be more terrible than hundreds of casualties!"

Hermione immediately asked in her heart: "Mr. Lu Yuan, is the explosion real?"

[Yes, but it's a bit exaggerated to say that it will kill everyone. The defense of the castle itself is not weak. 】

"That won't work!"

Hermione's face completely sank. She looked at the four paintings in front of her that were still talking about righteousness, responsibility, and sacrifice.

Hermione's eyes gradually became cold, and the wand in her hand suddenly raised, "Flame explosion!"

Boom~!

This time Hermione didn't hold back at all. The violent explosion shattered the wall together, and destroyed three portraits in an instant.

The last one was left unaffected. The person in the painting was completely stunned. He never thought that the other party would actually attack the four of them. Didn't she want the inheritance?

Before the anger appeared on his face, the second explosion had already engulfed him.

It was quiet now!

Seeing Hermione's neat action, Lu Yuan smiled with satisfaction, finally getting something.

Hermione's expression was serious, "Mr. Lu Yuan, can the two of us handle this?"

(PS: Family, this is the last day of the holiday, I was delayed in the afternoon, and there is only this chapter tonight~~~)
