Hogwarts Crawler

Who in the family would understand that he actually went to school for seven...six...five years on a bomb!

It's not necessarily ridiculous to say how ridiculous this is. After all, the safety of Hogwarts is indeed obvious to everyone. What really shocked Adam was that he had become the headmaster of Hogwarts but still didn't know about this!

So much so that Adam even doubted whether what the old goblin said was true.

Before Adam recovered from the shock, the old goblin continued to speak in his memory:

"Back then, the wizard collected all the ancient magic energy and finally sealed it underground in Hogwarts. Our predecessor, the great Lanlock, was also killed there by the other party."

"Fortunately, it seems that in order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the ancient magic energy again, the wizard did not record the ancient magic and pass it down to future generations, so..."

The old goblin did not speak, but turned his head and looked into the distance.

They seemed to be inside an active volcano, or deep underground. Adam could even see the flowing magma.

At the end of the old goblin's sight, a huge machine was located there. The giant drill at the front of the machine showed the main function of the machine.

"To be honest, I don't think much of this machine."

The young goblin also looked over and said at the same time:

"Lanlock spent so much effort, gathering almost all the goblins and using the energy of ancient magic to create a machine that can dig into the ground of Hogwarts, but we are far from such conditions now."

The young goblin turned his head and looked at the old goblin:

"Don't forget, Hogwarts was also built with ancient magic. If we fail to successfully dig through the ground of Hogwarts, it will attract the attention of wizards and let them discover the ancient magic. The existence of energy..."

"So this is just an alternative plan."

The old goblin seemed to have the same doubts, so he said so quickly after the young goblin finished speaking, and then he reached out and took off the bracelet on the young goblin's hand:

"After Lanlock died, some of the equipment he made was destroyed, but some was still preserved. Relying on these and the power of Gringotts, we may not need to activate the alternative plan to defeat those wizards."

"... Do we have to go to war with those wizards?"

The young goblin suddenly asked.

The old goblin fell into silence, turned his head and looked at the other party, and spoke after a long time:

"It's hard to believe that you would say such a thing... Have you forgotten the past of goblins and wizards? Now goblins and wizards seem to get along well, but that was what the goblins got through war, otherwise those chained livestock would be our fate. "

The young goblin took a deep breath:

"Sorry, I understand."

The old goblin nodded.

The young goblin turned around and prepared to take out the mithril that had been melted in the fire during this period of time for processing. At this moment, the old goblin pointed the bracelet in his hand at it.

"Boom——"

This made Adam realize that this energy seemed to have a different effect on living individuals than on inanimate objects. It was similar to the killing curse. When it hits inorganic objects, the energy beam that would cause a huge explosion fell on the young goblin, but only knocked the opponent away and made a pit at the hit point.

If such a wound was a simple physical damage, although it was fatal, it would not take a person's life immediately. However, the old goblin's action of putting down the bracelet directly after the attack and the young goblin's lack of reaction all indicated that the young goblin's life had been taken away by this energy.

"Sorry... maybe you really understand, but I can't bet."

The old goblin walked forward and pushed the body of the young goblin into the magma, then came to the forging table where the young goblin had stood before, took out the melted goblin mithril, and the words he said seemed to be talking to the young goblin, and seemed to be convincing himself:

"In addition to the wizard's disruption, a large part of the reason for Lanlock's failure was that there was a traitor among the goblins, which led to the early exposure of the plan. Lanlock didn't leave much equipment, and we only have this one chance."

Breaking away from his memory, Adam looked at the old goblin who was still in a coma in silence.

From the goblin's point of view, the other party might indeed be paying for the future of the goblin, but unfortunately he was a human being and couldn't stand on the goblin's point of view.

"The most important thing now is to go to Hogwarts to check whether the underground bomb really exists. If it does..."

Adam frowned slightly. After becoming the principal, all control of Hogwarts should have been opened to him, including stairs, secret passages, protective magic, and guarding the school.Stone pillars, ghosts, portraits, etc.

If there is such a thing under Hogwarts, and he, the headmaster, doesn't know about it, then the only possibility is that one or several headmasters concealed the matter and used the headmaster's authority to exclude the bomb-related parts from the Hogwarts magic system.

Adam took a step forward and appeared in the headmaster's office of Hogwarts.

"Oh, look who's here, what a rare guest..."

Seeing Adam appear, a headmaster in the portrait couldn't help but sneer.

Adam didn't need to look to know that it must be Professor Phineas Black. Among all the headmasters, this old man has the most violent personality.

It was indeed a long time since he came to Hogwarts. Adam, who had basically handed over all the work to Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, did not argue with him. He looked up at the portraits of the headmasters on the wall with a serious expression:

"Everyone, I came here to ask about something. Please call back the people who are not here."

Although they were more or less dissatisfied with Adam's hands-off behavior, everyone had seen Adam's contribution to Hogwarts, and everyone recognized that he was the headmaster of Hogwarts, so the headmasters in the portraits also became serious.

"Wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

Professor Dilys Devonte left the frame with her skirt lifted, and soon she came back with three professors who were visiting other places.

"Okay, now everyone is here, Adam, tell us what you want to see us about."

The one who spoke was Professor Dumbledore, who was most familiar to Adam, but he knew that he might not be able to help with this matter, otherwise Adam would go to him directly.

"It's like this, I wonder if anyone here knows anything about 'ancient magic'?"

Adam's eyes swept all the way. After hearing this, several principals showed surprised expressions, but more principals just looked puzzled.

At the same time, the Lanlock mentioned in the old goblin's memory seemed to be a person in the past one or two hundred years. If what the goblin said is true, then the principal who is most likely to be related to the bomb under Hogwarts should be closer to this time period...

Adam looked at a portrait:

"Professor Neopher Fitzgerald, perhaps you can provide me with some information help?"
