Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts.

Chapter 303 Conversation between three old friends
"It just happened to be a topic you are good at." Ravenclaw smiled and looked at Rice on the table, his tone as friendly as meeting an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time. As for why her old friend appeared in a small puddle on the table with only one face left, that had nothing to do with her.

"Do you think there is any good solution?" Rowena repeated Helga's troubles and asked Les to use his brain to think about whether there was a solution.

Les closed his eyes and began to think hard. Soon, the small puddle he was in began to emit a series of bubbles.

"Salazar this is...?"

"He's thinking."

Helga:?

Looking at the string of fine bubbles, Helga felt that Salazar seemed to be really thinking about the problem seriously - the small puddle he was in was almost boiling!

After using his brain at full power to think, it didn't take long for Les to find a solution to the problem.

The reason why the two of them have not thought of a solution is that they want to materialize the talent of magic. They wish they could build a crystal ball so that students can automatically sense the talent value by putting their hands up, but this is not realistic.

But in the final analysis, Helga wanted to find those children who were naturally good at manipulating magic among the students of Hufflepuff House, and then select her heirs from these children based on their character.

Helga took the box and played with it, and found that indeed, as Rowena said, only magic can make the beads roll, and no other method will work.

When she saw this, she was overjoyed: with this box, she could conduct a "rough screening" of the students.

Then I just need to find a way to find those very talented students, right? And judging from Helga's intention, she didn't want to publicize this matter in a big way, so she could just cover it up with a layer of cover-up.

Soon, she made a beautiful small wooden box. There was a hole in the middle of the wooden box, and a bead was stuck in the upper left corner. Only magic can push the bead.

At first, he, Helga, and Rowena all hit a dead end, but it was easy to change the angle.

Obviously, for most students, the marbles in this maze box are stuck. Only a small number of students who are talented in magic control can master the trick unconsciously. What Rice wants to screen out is That kind of people.

"I reduced the difficulty a little and did not make a maze. As long as the students can use magic to push the beads into the hole, they will pass." Ravenclaw handed the box to Hufflepuff.

Then I really have an idea!
"How about this...?" Les shared his thoughts with his two old friends.

After hearing what Les said, Helga looked like she suddenly realized: "As expected of Salazar, he found a reliable solution in one fell swoop!"

Les didn't answer, but another stream of bubbles bubbled up from the puddle behind his head.

The Ravenclaw didn't say much, but set about trying to build the device Salazar had described.

They can make a marble that is powered by magic and then place it in a box maze to see how long it takes the students to magically move the marble out of the maze.

Although I can't really show how good your talent is, I can just eliminate the ones with poor talent.

Thanks to his valuable suggestions, Les also gained the power to "transform" and was allowed to move from the "table" to the side of the table.

"You came to me today just to make a box, right?" Rowena glanced at the two old friends and felt that they must have another purpose.

After Helga told Rowena about catching the Dream Demon in the Forbidden Forest, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: In your hearts, am I this kind of person? Helga, Salazar: Of course.

Although Rowena was quite dissatisfied with her old friends' distrust of her, she honestly told them that this dream monster had nothing to do with her.

"Really? In fact, it doesn't matter if... we can just fix the seal." Rice carefully considered his words and spoke the truth.

"Yes, yes." Helga supported.

"Can there be a little trust between people?!" Ravenclaw slammed the table hard: "This dream monster has nothing to do with me!"

Seeing Ravenclaw's appearance, Rice could only choose to believe her - otherwise she would have to convince herself in other ways.

"Then things are a bit troublesome." Hufflepuff told Rowena the meaning behind the matter.

Ravenclaw was silent for a moment.

After a while, he said faintly: "The new millennium is coming soon."

Les and Helga frowned at the same time.

Ravenclaw continued: "The shadow of the world will become active in a thousand-year cycle. Maybe this is the reason - the dream demon accidentally ran along a crack somewhere and ran from the shadow space. real world."

"Speaking of it, the time is indeed almost up, but we did leave a complete enough seal back then..." Les's brows wrinkled into a knot.

"A thousand years have passed, Salazar. If I really trusted those seals, I would not choose to die here." Ravenclaw tapped the ground with his foot.

Everything has a shadow, and the real world is no exception. The projection of the real world in space was called the Shadow World by the wizards of Rice's era, where dark creatures originated.

Thousands of years ago, there was no line between the shadow world and the real world. Later, as time went by, a blurred boundary gradually emerged. After Les and the others eliminated the Nordic gods, they took advantage of the situation to clarify the boundaries and separate the shadow world from the real world. The most obvious benefit of this is that there will no longer be a large number of undead invading the world of the living on Halloween.

However, nothing is absolute. Rice and the others cannot completely separate the shadows, so there are still several connection points between the two worlds, one of which is under the Hogwarts dungeon.

They originally placed a lot of seals on those connection points to prevent dark creatures from running into the real world, but according to Rowena, perhaps there was something wrong with those seals.

This situation shouldn't have happened. They considered this problem back then, and what they left behind was a permanent seal that made the magic cycle self-sufficient.

When he thought of this, Les's mood became a lot heavier.

"Don't worry, there will be almost no waves during Halloween, right? This shows that the methods we left behind are still effective. Just wait until you have time to go on a tour." Ravenclaw's words livened up the atmosphere. .

There was serious internal strife in the company. I got home a little late and was a little tired. Let me start with a chapter.
