People are in Hogwarts, What the hell is the flood system?

Soon, Voldemort and Quirrell used a crystal ball to record a segment of music played by the Hades Harp, mixing it into a piece from the age of myths.

“As long as Rhine Snow hears the segment I play, he’s doomed; his very soul will die.”

The Hades Harp was full of confidence.

Voldemort and Quirrell felt a glimmer of hope rise within them once more.

Perhaps they really could kill Rhine this time?

No, even if they couldn't kill him, seriously injuring him and leaving him unconscious for half a month, or even a month, would be good enough!

Without Rhine's interference, the challenges might hold Voldemort back for a while, but as long as he abandoned the idea of a speedrun and prepared thoroughly, overcoming all the challenges would only be a matter of time.

If the Hades Harp could truly be effective, obtaining the Philosopher's Stone would be just around the corner!

The biggest problem now was whether this crystal ball could be successfully delivered to Rhine.

Thinking about his terrible luck lately, Voldemort and Quirrell felt uncertain.

But they had no choice but to bite the bullet and send this crystal ball, containing a short 'Requiem' excerpt, to the All-Treasures Pavilion.

At the entrance of the All-Treasures Pavilion, besides the customers waiting in line to buy talismans, there was also a queue of people holding crystal balls or sheet music.

These were all wizards hoping to exchange their sheet music for Galleons.

Of course, if they could exchange it for talismans, especially the Little Adamantine Talisman, that would be even better.

After all, the Little Adamantine Talisman was currently priceless!

Voldemort and Quirrell breathed a slight sigh of relief.

With so many people, it should be easy to mix in the 'Requiem' without arousing suspicion.

The sheet music containing the 'Requiem' excerpt, while not having the deadly effect of the ancient 'Requiem' piece, was still an authentic piece from the age of myths.

According to the Hades Harp, this was a piece played during the feasts of the gods, with the effect of soothing the mind.

In this era, it was likely a lost treasure, with a certain auxiliary effect even for potion masters and alchemy masters.

If Rhine was truly seeking these pieces, then he would definitely listen to this 'Feast of the Gods' music, and when he was most engrossed, the 'Requiem' would end the life of this little wizard who had attracted the attention of the controllers!

Thoughts flashing through their minds, Voldemort and Quirrell stood at the end of the line, slowly following the crowd inside.

Meanwhile, inside the All-Treasures Pavilion, Rhine was frowning, listening to the performance of a so-called street musician who had come to apply for a shop assistant position.

With his current strength, Rhine had thought that there were few things in the magical world that could shake his state of mind.

But he had to admit that the performance of this "musician" had a touch of the Old Ones' whispers he had heard before.

After a moment, Rhine couldn't help but interrupt the person's performance.

“Alright, that’s enough for now.”

“Go back and wait for news. If you don’t hear from us within three days, it means your qualifications are probably not suitable for this place.”

The "musician" said confidently.

“I understand, I understand.”

“There are still many applicants, so the process has to be followed.”

“But actually, three days isn't necessary. I know that when you hear my music, you've already been conquered. Besides me, who else can appreciate so many ancient pieces?”

“Then I’ll go back and prepare. I’ll see you in three days.”

Rhine stared blankly at the departing figure, turning to Fred and George Weasley after a few seconds.

“Where did you find this genius?”

Fred and George looked at Rhine with equal bewilderment, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and quickly pulled the cotton out of their ears.

“Whoa!”

“The world is quiet now!”

“Okay, I know you definitely want to ask us where we found this big brain, but I can only say that this is the level of musical taste in the magical world.”

“Please, you don’t think we have good musical taste in the magical world, do you? You should have realized that from the Hogwarts entrance ceremony song.”

“Appreciating and playing music, especially various ancient pieces, is basically a pure-blood family thing. I mean those pure-blood nobles, not pure-blood commoners like the Weasleys.”

“But those from pure-blood noble families, unless they’re desperate, who would come to the All-Treasures Pavilion to apply? I mean, there are so many Squibs here, and we two Weasley family members are in charge…”

Fred and George shrugged, indicating their helplessness.

Rhine sighed.

There was no way around it. His Fuxi Divine Sky Resonance was still a distance away from mastery. The more pieces he listened to, the better it would be for his mastery.

Once mastered, this divine power would be his strongest method besides the Zhou Tian Star Array flag, so the sooner he mastered it, the better.

But picking out valuable pieces from the music sent by these wizards was truly like finding gold in the dung.

Rhine couldn't spend all his time on this, otherwise it would be better to focus on comprehension, and perhaps he would master it faster.

To truly speed up efficiency, he needed someone who understood music to help him identify and filter the pieces.

He shook his head helplessly.

“Are there any more candidates for the interview?”

Fred and George glanced at the application form.

“There’s one more.”

“Ms. J · F?”

“Looks like another stage name or alias. Honestly, I don’t know why these street musicians have to do these fancy things.”

Rhine took a deep breath.

“Forget it, let her in.”

“It can’t be more outrageous than the last one, right?”

Then, an unexpected figure appeared before Rhine.

It was Gemma Farley, the Slytherin prefect he had met once before, identified by the system as Gao Lanying from Investiture of the Gods.

Rhine never expected that the last person to apply to the All-Treasures Pavilion would be her.

“Prefect Gemma?”

When Gemma Farley saw Rhine, she was first stunned, then smiled wryly, revealing an expression of “as expected.”

“I was wondering who owned the All-Treasures Pavilion before. I thought it must be related to Junior Rhine, and it really is you.”

“Well, as you can see, I saw the All-Treasures Pavilion’s recruitment information and came to apply for a part-time job.”

“As for musical skills and whatnot, don’t worry. Although the Farley family has declined, the noble upbringing has never declined. I’ve been learning music, dance, and the like since I was a child.”

Rhine shook his head.

“I’m not doubting that.”

The Farley family was one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, with a status far above ordinary pure-blood nobles.

According to what the Weasley brothers just said, the probability of a pure-blood noble coming to a place like the All-Treasures Pavilion, with Squibs and Weasley family members, to apply for a job was really low.

Also, he and the Weasley brothers were all Gryffindors, but she was the Slytherin prefect.

No matter how you looked at it, there was no benefit for her to work part-time here; on the contrary, it would cause controversy.

Rhine tactfully inquired about this matter with Gemma Farley.

Gemma Farley smiled bitterly.

“Junior, you don’t have to be so tactful. I know what you want to say.”

“It’s nothing more than the discussions of the other Slytherin students, and some criticisms from noble families…”

“I can’t care about that anymore.”

Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she quickly wiped them.

“Something happened at home, and I need money. The part-time salary here is very high, so I came to apply.”

At this moment, lines of information appeared on Rhine's system screen.

【The family of the girl Gao Lanying, whom you met once, has undergone changes. She has no choice but to earn a living by selling her skills to obtain cultivation resources and has come to the All-Treasures Pavilion for help.】

If that was all, Rhine wouldn't have cared.

But then, another line of chaotic writing appeared.

【This matter is vaguely related to another Saint's scheme. The host has become the target of public criticism. At this juncture, it is recommended not to create unnecessary complications.】

【System Recommendation—Expel her, lest the karma be aggravated.】

Rhine frowned.

Related to a Saint again?

That meant that Gemma Farley's family affairs were related to the Old Ones?

The Farley family had already declined to this point, with the last prominent figure being the Minister for Magic nearly a hundred years ago. How was it connected to the Old Ones?

But after a moment, Rhine thought of Gemma Farley's whereabouts in the original work.

That was—no whereabouts.

After graduation, Gemma Farley disappeared from the magical world.

Even the Farley family never appeared in any occasion again, never joining any forces.

They neither appeared in the Death Eater camp nor stood on the side of the Order of the Phoenix, as if they had disappeared from the magical world out of thin air.

But Gemma Farley was, after all, the Slytherin prefect, belonging to the most outstanding students of Slytherin House.

In addition, the Farley family was one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. In theory, she shouldn't be unknown.

Could it be that in the original story, the Farley family also suffered some changes due to the Outer Gods?

But this time, due to my influence, the return of the ancients has been brought forward, and these changes have begun to show signs ahead of schedule?

Just like Marcus Flint, who was previously controlled by the Dagon statue and turned into an evil creature to attack me?

However, according to the system prompts, it shouldn't be that serious yet.

Thinking of Marcus Flint's attack, Rhine's eyes also lit up.

That allowed me to get a drop of Dagon's blood, which was a huge profit.

If it could happen again, it would be a complete windfall. The Outer Gods are full of treasures!

Thinking of this, he looked at Gemma Farley with a meaningful gaze.

The girl Gao Lanying, as judged by the system, still has two rewards on her that I haven't received.

The talent 'Eyes Like Lightning' doesn't provide much improvement for me, who already possesses the Insightful Heavenly Eye.

But perhaps it can be further fused with the Insightful Heavenly Eye, gradually pushing it to a higher level.

And the last reward is the Sun God Needle Refining Method.

In the original Investiture of the Gods storyline, Gao Lanying relied on the Sun God Needles to establish great achievements.

Of course, hidden weapons are not Rhine's favorite.

Moreover, although the Sun God Needles are strong, Rhine may still be able to obtain the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife Refining Method from Nicolas Flamel.

The Immortal Slaying Flying Knife is the number one hidden weapon in Investiture of the Gods, with unparalleled lethality, far surpassing the Sun God Needles.

But Rhine's focus on the Sun God Needles is on their method of absorbing the power of the sun to condense the needles.

Among the Golden Crow Demon Court secret techniques that Rhine obtained, the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique has not yet been cultivated.

It's not that Rhine doesn't want to practice it, but after some research, he can only helplessly give up.

The reason is very simple: this Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique can only be used by those with the Golden Crow bloodline.

At the very least, it requires the power of the sun to barely exert its power.

Although Rhine's Yuan Sea power can reversely evolve various elemental energies in the world, the power of the sun is transformed by the Golden Crow. Even the Five Elements Reversal Returning Yuan Sea from Daoist Burning Lamp cannot absorb it.

Therefore, if he can obtain the Sun God Needle Refining Method from Gemma Farley, Rhine might be able to use the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique, a top-tier prehistoric escape technique.

At this time, Gemma Farley's eyes became increasingly red, and her heart became increasingly uneasy, not knowing what Rhine's attitude was.

After a moment, she saw Rhine nod to her.

"Then welcome to join, Senior Sister."

Instantly, a crystal gleam flashed in the corner of Gemma Farley's eyes.

Her mind couldn't help but recall that day in the corridor when she was almost overwhelmed by the pressure and once had the idea of jumping off the tower, it was Rhine who enlightened her.

This time, when she was already helpless, it was Rhine again.

Before Rhine's eyes, a system prompt appeared.

【You disregard the karma involved with the girl Gao Lanying and insist on providing her with help】

【You have become involved in the scheme set by the saint behind the girl Gao Lanying. The consequences are unpredictable】

【The girl Gao Lanying has developed a strong sense of gratitude towards you. Your relationship has reached the level of close friends】

【You have obtained the talent reward — Eyes Like Lightning】

In Rhine's eyes, a flash of lightning seemed to leap, illuminating the entire Myriad Treasures Pavilion for a moment.

Gemma Farley and the Weasley twins all narrowed their eyes, their vision was a white blur, and they could hardly see anything.

Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for an instant, making them feel like it was their own illusion.

Only Gemma Farley looked at Rhine with some surprise.

She seemed to notice that the corners of Rhine's mouth were slightly raised, and he seemed to be in a better mood than before?

Is it because she joined?

For no reason, Gemma Farley's heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate, and a hint of pink appeared on her face.

Rhine, however, was not paying attention to these things at the moment, but was looking at the 'Eyes Like Lightning' talent with great surprise.

The effects of this talent, which increase eyesight and insight, are indeed useless to him.

But another inconspicuous effect made him quite pleasantly surprised.

That is, it can deter opponents with his gaze, which involves some application of mental power or divine sense.

With Rhine's current level, a single glance is enough to make ordinary enemies' minds go blank.

If he continues to study it in depth, especially if he can obtain the last reward from Fred — Wisdom Cuts Through Chaos — perhaps he can cut out a heart sword and directly kill enemies with his gaze!

One glance, and everything withers, the heart sword leaves no trace…

That feeling — cool!

However, after a moment, Rhine still suppressed the urge to study this "heart sword".

Even if this thing is researched, its power is not even a fraction of the entry level of the Fuxi Divine Heavenly Resonance, so he will wait until he has free time to study it.

The key now is the entry level of the Fuxi Divine Heavenly Resonance!

Immediately, Rhine turned and returned to his temporary residence in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion to continue comprehending the Fuxi Divine Heavenly Resonance.

"Senior Sister, I'll leave the matter of collecting sheet music to you."

Rhine's voice sounded, and Gemma Farley's expression was also serious.

No matter why, she must do this well for Rhine.

Soon, Gemma Farley waved her wand, and the sheet music that had been sent to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion began to flutter before her eyes.

"This one won't work. It's not original at all. It's copied, and it's only a dozen years old."

"This one won't work either. It looks ancient, but it's full of clumsy imitations. It's just like modern people imitating ancient poems. It's obviously from last week."

"……"

"Huh?"

"This one is a bit interesting. It's really ancient sheet music."

Outside the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Voldemort and Quirrell had already sent in the crystal ball recording the Requiem of the Dead and were anxiously waiting.

And in Quirrell's hand, he was holding a shrunken harp, which was the Hades Harp.

"Why hasn't there been a response yet?"

"Could it be that your so-called Feast of the Gods' Music, which you used to disguise the Requiem of the Dead, wasn't liked at all?"

Faced with Quirrell's question, the Hades Harp let out a contemptuous voice.

"You bumpkins who have never attended a feast of the gods."

"The effect of the Feast of the Gods' Music is much stronger than those calming and soothing potions of your era. As long as mortals aren't dead, they will know how wonderful this movement is after hearing it. How could it be screened out?"

Quirrell asked nervously again.

"Could it be that someone else heard this movement first, and then heard the Requiem of the Dead and died?"

"Then Rhine certainly won't listen again."

The Hades Harp became increasingly impatient.

"Do you take me for a fool?"

"In that crystal ball, you can only hear the Feast of the Gods' Music the first time you listen. Only the second time will the sound of the Requiem of the Dead appear."

"Why are the wizards of today so impatient? Rhine will die tonight. What does it matter to wait a little longer?"

Just then, Gemma Farley, who was distinguishing the music, suddenly picked up a crystal ball.

And when she heard the music coming from it, her eyes revealed a look of shock and intoxication.

It was a wonderful movement she had never heard before. Just listening to it made her feel like she was soaking in a hot spring, and her mind was incomparably comfortable.

When she came back to her senses, Gemma Farley immediately understood that this was definitely an extraordinary movement, perhaps from the age of mythology!

She quickly took the crystal ball to find Rhine.

"Rhine, listen to this movement!"

Rhine looked at the crystal ball, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He felt that this crystal ball contained a strong killing intent.

A prompt also appeared on the system screen.

【Be careful!】

【This is caused by the power of Rahu, containing the power of the Great Dao of Slaughter. Death is instant upon being struck!】

But at the same time, Rhine had a strange feeling.

This crystal ball may contain exactly what he needs to help him enter the Fuxi Divine Heavenly Resonance!

A mocking smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If it were a true object of Rahu, he would have to immediately escape even if he had the ability to be reborn from a drop of blood.

But now…

"Rahu of the magical world? What can you do to me?!"

Rhine casually tapped, and the music in the crystal ball began to play.

At this moment, outside the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, the Hades Harp, which was mocking Quirrell, suddenly paused and let out a high-pitched sound.

"The crystal ball I left behind has been triggered a second time in a short period of time."

"It's Rhine. It must be Rhine who got the crystal ball. He's starting to listen to the music inside."

The Hades Harp made a noisy sound.

"Then come!"

"Listen to the death knell!"
