Charlotte put away the envelope.
Ghouls don't send themselves invitations for no reason.
Moreover, the letter was very brief, and even contained some provocation at the end, asking if you dare to come.
How could he miss such a thing?
"In that case, let's go together, Professor Snape. I would be happy to take you with me to the appointment." Charlotte looked at Snape.
Snape's eyes twinkled and he said, "Okay, Charlotte."
Godric's church cemetery was quite far from the village, so Charlotte and Snape walked to the cemetery side by side.
On the way, we also passed Porter's house.
Of course, the house, which had obviously become a ruin, was cast under a spell by wizards, and Muggles could not see it.
Snape's eyes flickered obviously.
It seems that he is really reluctant to come to this place.
I don't know what drove Snape to come here.
Charlotte didn't ask. After all, maybe this matter was related to Voldemort, or Lily Evans.
On the way, Charlotte bumped into a middle-aged woman, who asked Charlotte nervously if she had seen Gold.
Charlotte's eyes flickered.
Gold didn't go home?
He also thought that his family would definitely find him before dark.
Seeing that Charlotte didn't reply, Gold's mother thought she had scared him, so she said sorry and hurried to look for Gold somewhere else.
It was just a small accident and Charlotte didn't take it seriously.
The area around Godric's Hollow is very safe. Even if Goldric really leaves the village, his life will not be in danger.
Chapter 266: Curse of Darkness
Gold didn't believe that Charlotte and Snape alone could defeat the Ghoul King.
After all, he and Shovel had seen the Ghoul King before.
Even though he is a wizard, he can't help but feel fear of the Ghoul King. Wachan also said that the Ghoul King is a very terrifying existence.
The group walked underground. Charlotte and Snape used their wands to illuminate the surroundings. From time to time, they could see white bones stuck on the walls of the cave on both sides.
The further you go, the wider the cave in front becomes. You dig the hole and walk in front, bending your body like a fire ghost, using your long hands to help you walk on the ground.
At the bend of the cave, the shovel said a few words, and Gold said, "Let's dig a pit and hide carefully. We are about to enter the den of the ghouls. Although you are alive and the ghouls will not eat you, it is also very dangerous."
Snape nodded, and Charlotte took out her wand and said, "In that case, it would be better to just turn invisible."
Snape glanced at Charlotte and said, "Do you know the invisibility spell?"
"I've seen it before when I was reading in the library." Charlotte took out her wand and waved it at the three people. Snape and Gold immediately disappeared.
Shovel opened his grey eyes wide and chattered. Gold's voice came from Charlotte's left: "Shovel said, you are awesome! Are you a great wizard? Of course not, this must be a course in Hogwarts, right? I will definitely learn it by then!"
"Hurry up." Snape's voice sounded coldly, urging the shovel to take them to the place where the people were imprisoned as soon as possible.
The ghouls' nests are very complicated, one nest connected to another, so densely packed that it seems to have hollowed out all the land under the cemetery.
There is usually a coffin in the nest, which usually contains bones. Ghouls usually eat rotten corpses, but not bones.
Those bones are great sleeping supplies for zombies.
It can be used as a tool for making their beds.
Although zombies live in groups, they generally don't interact with each other very often. Charlotte and his group would occasionally pass by some zombies. Those zombies looked similar to shovels, the only difference being their size.
Snape's footsteps were very urgent. Even though Charlotte couldn't see him, she could tell how anxiously Snape was walking forward, hoping to see the soul imprisoned by the Ghoul King.
The shovel led them around many graves and then to an area full of tree roots.
The roots of the tree covered the entrance to the tomb. He pointed to the roots and Gold said, "This is the entrance, but we can't get in."
There were still some gaps between the roots of the tree. Charlotte looked inside through the gaps and saw that they were full of thorns. There was a bright spot inside the thorns.
Because it was too far away, he couldn't see what was going on inside.
Snape anxiously lay on the tree roots. He felt the breath inside and trembled slightly.
"How do I get in?" he asked.
Then some rustling sounds were heard, as if he was searching whether he had any magic potion that could corrode all the tree roots.
But Snape didn't seem to have any potion on him, so he had to raise his wand and cast a sharp attack at the roots of the tree.
The shadowless sword hit the tree roots, but only slightly scraped off some of the bark of the roots. It was completely useless.
"I'll do it." Charlotte said.
Snape was silent for a moment, then asked, "What can you do? This tree is not a simple tree. If I am not mistaken, this tree is cursed by the ghouls. If you open it rashly, you will be cursed by the ghouls."
"The curse of the ghouls is not a problem for me." Charlotte said. He looked around. Ghouls usually move around at night. At this time, most of the ghouls would leave their nests and go out to look for corpses. He simply canceled the invisibility spell.
With a wave of her wand, a golden-red flame ignited at the tip of Charlotte's wand. As the fire came out, Gold and Snape felt that everything around them became dry.
Gold's eyes widened and he said, "Is this also a spell that you can learn at Hogwarts? So cool!"
The shovel cried out twice and kept backing away, showing obvious fear of the fire.
Charlotte waved her wand and the fire bounced onto the tree roots.
As soon as the flame touched the tree roots, it spread rapidly and quickly engulfed the entire root system.
But Charlotte keenly noticed that the flames did not make the tree roots disappear quickly when they came into contact with them. Instead, they were devouring the roots at a very slow speed, just like the shadowless magic.
·· 0···· ··
If we continue burning like this, I don’t know when we can burn all the tree roots clean.
Charlotte waved her magic wand, and the fierce flames disappeared, leaving behind the tree roots that had turned black but were already hard.
He reached out and touched the tree roots, thinking of the book he had read before, and said, "Ghouls are a kind of demon. As demons, the curse of ghouls is full of dark power. I think there may be no way to treat such a curse with common sense."
Snape frowned and asked, "A dark curse. Can only ghouls break such a curse?"
He looked at the shovel, which had been frightened by the fire just now, and Gold was beside him comforting him.
"How do I open this thing?" he asked.
..... ..... ...
Shovel said something incoherent and trembled. Gold said, "Shovel said he didn't know. Ever since the Ghoul King cursed him, he can no longer enter here."
"Maybe we can dig a tunnel from the side," said Gold.
Snape looked at the cave wall next to him, and seemed to really consider what Gould had said.
"I have a solution." Charlotte said beside him.
Gold looked at him, and Snape looked at Charlotte.
"Well, since it's a dark curse, I don't think you can do it." Snape said, "Go back and leave this to me. I will negotiate with the Ghoul King."
Wizards and ghouls have never been friendly races. Although many wizards keep ghouls as pets, many ghouls never have any good impression of wizards.
Negotiations, generally speaking, are of no use.
"No need." Charlotte smiled: "I have a way."
"Dark curses are not child's play, Elvis," said Snape.
"Of course, sir," Charlotte said.
Although he said this, Snape did not stop Charlotte's actions, and there was even some expectation in his eyes. He wanted to know how Charlotte could open the vine without alerting the zombies, and he also wanted to know how he could deal with the curse of darkness.
"Be careful." Snape said, although his tone was still cold, it really contained concern for Qian.
Chapter 267: The Power of the Crooked-Horned Snorlax
Charlotte looked at Snape in surprise, then took out the bottle of Scimitar's blood from her beads.
The Crooked-Horned Snorlax, the bloodline of darkness and light, with such power, could never be cursed by darkness.
The blood of the Crooked-Horned Snorkeller entered Charlotte's body, and a mysterious power instantly filled Charlotte's body. It was different from all the previous blood. The fusion of darkness and light made Charlotte feel torn apart in an instant.
It was as if he was standing at the junction of light and darkness, but both sides wanted to pull him into their own doors.
This feeling disappeared in an instant, and Charlotte felt that the power in his body became extremely strong again.
"Ding~ Integrate the power of the Crooked-Horned Snorlax and gain 50 skill points." The system's voice sounded.
Charlotte temporarily turned off the prompt and then looked at the tree root.
The power of the Snorklein was reflected in him by the color of his pupils. Charlotte's eyes were completely swallowed by the darkness, and a chilling aura emanated from him.
The darkness in Charlotte is extremely pure darkness. Although it attracts evil and ominousness, it is purer than evil.
The shovel was so scared that it rushed to the wall of the cave, as if it was about to dig through the wall and leave this place. Gold hugged the shovel and was also so scared that he rushed to the wall of the cave.
He looked at Charlotte, and a fear arose from the bottom of his heart, as if the next moment.
This fear had nothing to do with life or death, it was just pure fear, pure fear of getting close and being seen by Charlotte.
Even Snape subconsciously took a step back, but he quickly returned to his cold expression.
"The power of darkness, why do you have such pure dark power?" said Snape.
Charlotte put his hand on his forehead, controlling the power in his body. After thinking about it, he instantly turned into a Crooked-Horned Snorlax.
After all, he was not yet proficient in controlling only one of the forces of darkness and light with a human body, so it would be better for him to do it in the form of a Scimitar-Horned Snorkle.
Snape blinked. This was not the first time he saw Charlotte transform into a magical creature, but he was still a little shocked.
A magical creature that possesses both the power of darkness and light. Although the Scimitar-horned Snorklein in front of him looked weak, Snape knew that the Scimitar's strength could not be measured by size.
Being able to transform into such a creature shows how powerful Charlotte's magic is. After all, Animagus transformation also requires magic. The more powerful the object of transformation is, the more magic is required. The power of the Scimitar-Horned Snorkle is a combination of light and darkness.
The magic power required is absolutely extraordinary.
Charlotte transformed into a Crooked-Horned Snorkeller and looked at the tree roots in front of him. He howled softly, and then he saw that the tree roots that had tightly wrapped around the entrance to the tomb were almost untied in an instant.
Charlotte returned to his adult appearance, but the brief change still left a lingering dark aura on him.
He turned around and said to everyone, "Okay, let's go in together."
Gold still had tears in his eyes. The aura of Charlotte just now really frightened him. He cried and said, "You! You!..."
He talked for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence, but there was some fear in his eyes.
Charlotte glanced at Gold and the trembling shovel in his arms, then said to Snape, "Professor, let's go in first."
Snape's eyes were a little complicated. He nodded and followed Charlotte in.
The space inside the tomb was large, but only a small area was surrounded by thorns. In the center of the surrounded area, a blue bead hung.
Charlotte recognized it at a glance. It was the legendary Hopelinst's Orb. According to legend, the wizard made this orb to protect his wife's soul.
But Hopelinst's wife had passed away long ago, and his beads could not summon back his wife's soul. The persistent Hopelinst was driven crazy by his own obsession and disappeared from the magic world.
Charlotte remembered that when they entered the tomb just now, the tombstone above the tomb was written with Hopelinst.
It seems that this Ghoul King is probably Hopelinst himself.
But a madman can actually turn into a zombie?
Charlotte thought about it, but didn't find any relevant records, so she put the idea aside and looked at the thorn.
Like the roots, the thorns were also covered with a light black mist.
Before, Charlotte couldn't see it, but after merging with the blood of the Snorlax, he could easily see all the dark things and make them, even those without autonomy, submit to him.
Charlotte stretched out his hand, thinking about the feeling of power surging in his body when he turned into a Crooked Snorkeller. After a moment, his eyes emitted a faint black light.
The same dark aura emanated from him. Snape glanced at Charlotte and his heart skipped a beat when he sensed the aura on him.
This breath aroused the most hidden darkness and fear in his heart.
Snape had never been afraid of anyone, not even Voldemort, let alone a child.
