Hogwarts doesn't need a savior
Page 132
Inès's screams could be heard from far away. Even hundreds of meters away, she could still feel the strong smell of the curse.
This is deadly stuff.
"Call the gods to protect you!"
Dumbledore's Patronus also rushed out at the same time, passing by the Phoenix Fawkes who was almost reborn from the ashes.
But compared to the curse that is so close, the help and hints coming from afar seem slow.
The dying Les looked at the curse that had entered Lynn's body, his eyes full of resentment and expectation.
Faced with this curse that had already spread from its mind, it had no chance of survival even after having gone through countless years.
From the moment the dagger penetrated its head, it knew that one of its own had died at the hands of its blade.
Although it didn't know who it was, the resentment and fear at the moment of death could not be mistaken.
The cold and silence have set in, and the longer you live the more you fear death.
Now it only wanted to drag down the wizard who was about to take its life.
Soon, the guardian angel passed through its body, bringing tearing pain - but compared to death, this was nothing, and it didn't even cause its eyes to fluctuate in the slightest.
He was waiting for the curse to take effect, waiting for Lynn's painful struggle, waiting for... a burial object.
Then, Dumbledore and Inès ran up, protecting Lynn on the left and right, and blocking him behind them with his eyes closed.
Dumbledore's magic continued to flow to Lynn, but was blocked by an invisible barrier, which surprised even him, who was well-informed.
He looked up in surprise, only to see that the originally tattered purple-robed shadow was slowly repairing itself and even becoming more solid.
For several minutes, Lin En's aura increased instead of decreasing, and the curse entangled between his brows turned into wisps of "black air", which was carried up by magic power and dissipated into nothingness.
When the last bit of magic power was expelled from his body, Lynn opened his eyes and looked at the exhausted Les, not hiding his contempt.
“Impossible…! This is impossible!”
The barely breathing monster roared in an unknown language, but the meaning could be clearly perceived by everyone.
It fell into the deepest despair.
"Nothing is impossible." Lin En pushed aside Dumbledore and Ines, stepped forward and stared at the dying false god, "Do you think I would appear in front of you without any defense? You are wrong. Your curse could not hurt me from the beginning. It will only be the nutrients for me to temper and reshape the world tree - this is also the last value of you who are still alive."
"you!"
Rice gnashed his teeth in hatred, but his body was as cold as ice on the snowy field and as fragile as weathered sandstone.
The curse of time has taken away its last ability to move. Not to mention struggling, even opening its eyes requires all its strength.
The deer head that once had shiny hair now looked extremely old. Every inch of its skin and flesh had been eroded by time, and its withered appearance exuded the breath of death.
Every second seemed like decades.
"How about it? Being trampled underfoot by a despised species and turned into my food. Are you unwilling to accept this?" The murderous words stimulated the monster's fragile and sensitive nerves, but it could not even speak.
Lin En's fingertips touched its forehead, which was the source of the curse and the most dangerous area.
However, in front of the shadow of the World Tree, it could not do anything evil.
Rice could only make "ho ho" breathing sounds, which were rapid and weak.
Its eyeballs were covered with a layer of gray, and even its hatred was no longer able to be maintained.
"Every inch of your flesh and blood, every bit of your magic, will become our research material. I will find out what you are, and then send all your bastards to you as companions. I know that a cold-blooded animal like you will definitely not care about your own kind, but I will tell them that it is you who helped us, and they will definitely be grateful to you."
The branches of the yew tree began to extend, and the shadow range expanded rapidly, encompassing Rice's body.
"...!"
With a heart full of reluctance, it took its last breath and ended its long life.
At the same moment when its life was completely cut off, the curse that spread throughout its body was completely expelled by Purple Shirt Rune and turned into a mist in the air.
But it's not just Rune in purple.
Standing silently behind Lin En, Dumbledore's eyes flashed with a complicated look.
He was sure that Lin En's fight with the curse just now was not as easy as he said, and in the process, his magic had improved again.
Although it was not very obvious, it could not be hidden from his eyes.
This rune magic called the World Tree is far from being as simple as I thought...
It seems that it is not a repair, but a transformation from destruction to reconstruction with the help of the power of the curse.
This was a magical phenomenon that he had never seen before, just like this magic that almost no one has been able to master throughout history, it was full of mystery.
"Headmaster? Dumbledore!"
Lin En's voice brought him back from his thoughts and allowed him to temporarily put aside his doubts.
"You did a great job, Lynn," he praised, "Now we can rest easy."
"Reassurance? I don't think so." Lin En narrowed his eyes and looked around, his face unfriendly, "It's definitely impossible to hide it."
He looked around.
Everything within sight was reduced to scorched earth in the explosion just now.
Forests, lakes, hills, and the remains of a wizard tribe hidden in magic not far away.
Everything was wiped out in the false god's desperate move, and even the mushroom cloud remained in the sky.
There is also evil magic that is most likely created by a false god, but no one knows how far it has spread.
The heresy is dead, but the disaster it left behind is far from over.
Dumbledore understood the implication of Lynn's words and raised his wand with a cold expression.
"Woo!"
A weak phoenix flew over from a distance, landed on Lin En's shoulder, and asked him for healing herbs.
"You're right." Dumbledore looked at Lynn who was feeding herbs to Fawkes, "We need to prepare it early."
"call"
The raging fire spread out from the small open space where the three people were, and soon spread across the entire prairie.
Inès looked reluctant but said nothing - she was a soft-hearted person, but she knew the big picture.
Even if only a little bit of this power remains, it will arouse the desires of ambitious people, which will cause endless harm.
Soon, except for the corpse of the false god Les, everything related to this forbidden area was reduced to ashes in the fire.
Including the reclusive wizards who died at the hands of monsters, and the last traces of their lives here.
Dust to dust, dust to dust.
-----------------
When the members of the Magical Congress led by Thurmond arrived after hearing the news, the former battlefield had become a wasteland. Even with the magical protection of the Muggle-Repelling Spell, the destruction of nature could not be concealed for long.
This tall, middle-aged Auror knew very well that the Magical Congress would be in chaos for a long time.
But he had no time to think about these things. He just arranged his subordinates to clean up the aftermath around him. He walked forward alone and asked anxiously, "Eric, where is the monster? You..."
"bang"
Before he could finish his words, the body hidden in Lin En's bracelet was thrown to the ground, making him break out in a cold sweat.
“You guys actually…!”
"Please tell Ms. Renée that we have fulfilled our mission and solved this monster that has caused trouble to the local area. As for the reward for the action, please ask her to prepare one for the two of us according to the amount previously agreed upon with Headmaster Dumbledore. I will leave first."
Lin En smiled and nodded, and the wreckage on the ground rose again, and disappeared without a trace along with the three people as a shadow.
Thurmond stood there alone, his face somewhat bitter.
-----------------
Later, on the streets of Boston.
"Principal, please take care of the follow-up research. Inès and I will try our best to participate."
Lynn casually threw a small cloth bag to Dumbledore and turned to leave.
But Dumbledore stopped him and took him to a secluded place alone.
Just as Lin En was about to ask, he heard Dumbledore whisper, "I may stay in Castellobus for a while this summer. Maybe we can come to Ilvermorny together when school starts next semester. I have an important matter that I would like to ask you for help with."
Lin En frowned and looked at the scheming old man warily.
Those deep blue eyes were hidden behind the half-moon shaped lenses, and it was impossible to tell their depth.
Chapter 213 The Traces of Helen's Eye
Leaving behind a sentence that was incoherent but full of meaning, Dumbledore disappeared at the alley.
After he left, Lynn subconsciously checked his own brain occlusion technique, and was slightly relieved after confirming that it was correct, but he couldn't help but think about the other party's intention of this suggestion.
What did he find?
Or... is he doubting something?
Or is it a test?
Various possibilities flashed through his mind, and he couldn't figure it out.
At this time, Ines, who had been waiting for a long time, came over and asked in a low voice: "Where is Dumbledore?"
"He's gone. I don't know what he's doing." Lin En shook his head and cleared his mind. "Your tracking magic is really amazing. You are worthy of being the Hunter Garcia. Thanks to you, we were able to get rid of that monster so easily."
"I didn't do anything, I just led the way." Inès was happy but also worried. "I didn't expect there would be a monster that even you and Dumbledore had to work together to kill. It's really worrying."
"Let's not consider the possibility of a fight to the death. We can deal with monsters of this level, but they are not easy to kill." Lin En said, "There is no point in thinking too much. At least we have to deal with this guy first. Do you have any plans before returning to Castrobus?"
"Before I go back..." Inès thought for a moment and tapped her palms lightly, "Of course I will continue to study the crown!"
She still hadn't forgotten her original intention from more than a year ago. No wonder Helena Ravenclaw got along best with her.
-----------------
The Pyrenees, a garden-like castle, and Beauxbatons School of Magic.
A year has passed, and the scenery here is no different from before. After the students have returned home, it seems even more quiet and beautiful.
Euphemia was in the room packing her personal belongings and the students' test papers.
The door was open and a fresh breeze blew in from the window, ruffling her long, smooth hair.
The other professors of ancient magic had already left school, and she had some finishing touches to do.
She could have left earlier, if not for...
Thinking of this, her plump red lips pouted slightly, and a faint anger brewed in her heart.
"Damn Dumbledore! Damn Wood! And Brian and his gang of idiots!"
"Boom"
The solid wood desk made a dull sound when it was hammered, but it didn't move at all, instead adding a touch of light pink to the white little fist.
"Woo..."
Covering her hurt hand, Miss Fei let out a faint cry of pain.
"Who are you mad at? Is it this broken table? I've been disliking it since I was working here. Do you want me to help you get rid of it?" Just as she was gritting her teeth at the air, Lin En appeared quietly outside the door, speaking in a teasing tone.
"!"
She suddenly turned her head and stood up, her beautiful brown eyes showing three parts of surprise, six parts of joy, and a little resentment.
"You still remember to come here!" She didn't care about the pain in her hand. She crossed her arms in shame and anger, and said, "Why don't you just accompany that old man Dumbledore to the United States and continue to do heroic deeds for two months?"
"Don't you think that weird thing is too dangerous? It's good to let the crooked-nosed old man share the risk with us." Lin En smiled and walked to his girlfriend, massaging her shoulders considerately. "I came back as soon as the matter was over. I didn't stay there for a minute - except to buy you a gift."
As he spoke, he took out a small crystal ball like a magician.
In the middle of the dotted ice crystals is a chubby little rabbit, looking very cute.
The small resentment that was mostly pretended disappeared immediately. Satisfied, Euphemia hugged the gift and said sweetly, "You still have some conscience. You know that I was worried about you. Is it going well?"
"Thanks to your and Nico's research, and the dagger left by Helpo - otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with this guy who can escape. You know, even if I can use that curse, half a minute is enough for it to run away without a trace."
