I, Hogwarts Second Week

The ruins are full of enemies.

The goblins have completely lost control of this place.

When Owen and Hermione arrived at the elevator, they found that the elevator had lost control. The runes on the surface no longer emitted light, and it turned into a stone.

"It seems that the elevator is also part of the ruins." Owen said, and then opened his arms to hug Hermione.

The goblin kingdom, like any other important place, casts a powerful anti-Apparition spell. The anti-spell here is even more powerful than Hogwarts. The goblins should have cast their magic, making their own Apparition spell ineffective and unusable.

"Hold tight--"

Hermione's cheeks were slightly red, and she obeyed Owen's request, her whole body pressed against him, and her arms firmly grasped his back.

Then she found that her feet seemed to leave the ground.

Owen took her directly up.

Like an arrow, or a meteor, it rushed up at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people with a long white tail.

Flying spell-this is a spell invented by Voldemort.

The flying spell that Owen cast was no different from Voldemort's original spell. The only difference was that he changed the color and replaced the black smoke with white smoke.

He had planned to teach this spell to Hermione before.

But during that time, Hermione and other young wizards were busy learning the Apparition Spell and other dark magic defense spells.

So he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​teaching the flying spell - as for later, he forgot about it because there were too many things to do.

In Owen's arms, Hermione felt the lightning-fast flight, and her heart was full of surprise and happiness. "You can actually fly!" She shouted in disbelief, with a tremor in her voice.

"I'll teach you in a few days." Owen said.

"Okay--"

The speed of the flying spell was much faster than the elevator. As he spoke, Owen took Hermione away from the underground ruins and returned to the goblin city.

As soon as they landed, several strange goblins rushed up.

Owen and Hermione looked at each other, and without saying much, they tacitly launched defense. Owen waved his wand casually, and a few precise spells instantly knocked down the monsters in the front.

But they didn't seem to be afraid, and they continued to move forward.

At this time, Sirius appeared in the sight of the two like a savior. He was wearing a black robe and frowned. After seeing Owen and Hermione, his face was slightly relieved.

"Owen, Hermione." He waved the spell to support the armor spell to keep out the large number of monsters.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Owen shrugged and responded.

He was sure that the person in front of him was Sirius himself.

Those monsters were very roughly disguised, and they didn't seem to be able to cast spells.

"Bang--"

A few strange noises came, and a few pieces of rubble hit the armor spell.

"Huh?" Owen looked sideways. Just when he thought that these guys couldn't cast spells, they let him slip.

A large number of weird goblins in front of them controlled more rubble and debris to throw at them.

Those who had already rushed to Sirius's Shield Charm stretched out their hands, and then in full view of everyone, their hands turned into some kind of flowing metal, and then the metal slowly transformed into long swords.

The monsters raised their arms that had turned into long swords and waved them madly at the Shield Charm.

This scene reminded Hermione of something instantly, and she blurted out: "This is - that kind of metal slug!" There was a hint of shock and uneasiness in her voice, but her hands did not hesitate. A series of complex spells flew out of her mouth, like a woven net, quickly and accurately covering the monsters wielding metal swords, defeating them one by one.

"The goblins call these things golems." Sirius explained while resisting the golem's attack. "I don't know what happened to this group of creatures a few minutes ago. Suddenly, they became limp, and then after more than ten seconds, they began to transform into goblins and launched a rebellion."

"Golem? A few minutes ago?" Owen smacked his lips, realizing that this was because he had taken the Star Tears from the obelisk.

It turns out that the obelisk's rewriting of the thinking of artificial life is not permanent - it has to be maintained.

As for the name Golem - in the third century BC. The Talmud recorded the story of an artificial man named Golem and the method of making it. The word Golem was first seen in the Old Testament. Psalms, which means "unformed human beings": before God put the soul into Adam's body, the latter was just a clay doll, so it was considered the first Golem.

Later, some rabbis who were proficient in Jewish mysticism used clay to shape dolls and engraved sacred Hebrew words on its forehead to generate magical power, thereby creating artificial people with simple mobility. Rabbi Rava once sent a Golem to a friend. The friend talked to it and saw that it had no reaction, so he read: "You were made by the wise, and you should return to dust."

The Golem immediately turned into a pile of mud after hearing it. It can be seen that the Golem is slow in action, has no emotions, does not understand language, and can only follow orders. It is just a walking corpse.

The creature represented by this legendary name is similar to the one created by the real goblins.

"Owen--" Hermione also realized that the Golem's rebellion might be because they took away the Star Tears.

"Don't look at me." Owen spread his hands, "I only know how to take it out, but I don't know how to put it back."

Hehe——Even if he knew, he couldn't give it back.

There was no reason to send back the treasure he got. As for the goblins, what did they have to do with him whether they lived or died?

"How are the goblins?" In order to prevent Hermione from getting entangled with him, Owen immediately changed the subject and asked Sirius: "These guys don't seem to have any strength."

Indeed, the attack methods of this group of creatures called Golems are very poor. It seems that in addition to their thick skin and flesh, the ability to manipulate gravel is a little tricky. Goblins are creatures that are not weaker than wizards. It is impossible for them to be defeated by such garbage man-made creatures.

"The goblins suffered heavy losses."

"Huh?"

"You forgot that they are all infected with [Bad Omen]." Sirius waved his wand and solved a large number of Golems. The three of them walked towards the goblin's royal court along the way they came before.

"The weak goblins were suddenly attacked by their servants. Most of the goblins didn't react at all. They were eaten by Golems before they had time to struggle."

"Eat? No wonder I didn't see the bodies of the goblins along the way." Owen said.

"The remaining goblins are now defending the royal court. Koyatel is also there." Sirius said, "Golems are not really that powerful. They have thick skin and flesh, but no other abilities. The goblins who react can deal with them themselves."

"Yes, there are quite a few goblins in this city."

Owen had previously guessed that there might be hundreds of thousands of goblins in this city. Even if all these goblins were infected with [Bad Omen]. There are priorities. As long as there are a few thousand goblins with mild infection like Reinak, it will be enough to suppress this group of artificial creatures.

However, the goblins will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Those severely infected goblins will be caught off guard and will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Fighting.

The three of them have arrived at the Fairy King's Court.

From a distance, Owen saw Koyatel waving his wand and casting a powerful origin spell, facing hundreds of golems.

Behind her, the fairies were also helping, using all kinds of spells, but the power was far inferior to the origin spell.

It was hard to imagine that she would protect fairies one day.

Just as Owen was sighing like this.

Koyatel immediately ran towards them.

Due to her sudden departure, there was a huge loophole in the fairies' defense line, and several fairies were beheaded by the golems who suddenly attacked them.

There was a commotion among the fairies.

With a few strange and sharp voices, the broken battle line was reorganized.

The gap left by Koyatel was filled by the fairies.

"Uh-" Owen raised his eyebrows. This guy really didn't care about the life and death of the fairies.

————

The golem's rebellion was quelled by the fairies a few hours later.

This is indeed not an opponent.

The degree of danger is not even as good as some of Fred and George's prank props.

The next step is to clear out the golems. After all, there are many golems, and the kingdom is very large, so there must be some remnants in some places.

As for Owen, he was intrigued by the goblins' panicked rush to the ruins.

Led by a group of goblins, they went to a cultivation area dedicated to producing golems.

This is a huge tree-shaped factory.

There was a faint, disturbing mist in the air, as if even the light was absorbed by the mist. The surrounding scene was gloomy and strange. Under the huge tree, there were densely packed huge containers hanging like insect eggs. In the containers, viscous silver liquid could be vaguely seen flowing slowly, and occasionally a low gurgling sound could be heard. That was the sound of the golem embryos being nurtured in the liquid.

Owen walked into the container beside him and wiped off the dust on the surface.

In the container, a silver embryo-like thing was clearly visible.

A long umbilical cord stretched out from the abdomen of the embryo, connecting to the top of the container. It was thought that various nutrients were supplied to the embryo from here.

Owen retracted his sight and looked at the jars on both sides and even farther away.

Not all jars contain embryos.

The further down the tree-shaped factory is, the more sound the embryos are.

This made Owen see many terrifying things - the goblins seemed to be trying the blood of various creatures to create golems.

At least Owen saw more than a dozen creatures including centaurs, mermaids, humans, etc.

The mixed blood of these creatures intertwined and merged in the silver liquid, forming a series of weird and shocking pictures.

Some embryos have already taken human form, but their limbs are twisted into the shape of fish fins or horse hooves; some have grown scales, covering the surface of what should have been smooth skin; and some embryos have blurred facial features, as if they have merged the facial features of multiple creatures, neither human nor any known species.

Any normal wizard, standing here, a crazy place that challenges the laws of nature and the boundaries of ethics one by one. Will fall into madness.

But - Owen didn't have so many thoughts.

There was not even any emotion like anger.

Just watched calmly.

Suddenly, a low and powerful heartbeat echoed throughout the tree-like factory, coming from the core of the tree-like structure. In a huge special jar.

That special jar seemed more magnificent and mysterious than the others, its surface inlaid with strange runes that flickered slightly with the rhythm of the heartbeat, as if it contained some ancient and powerful power.

The sound of the heartbeat became more and more clear, and each beat vibrated the surrounding air, causing Owen to focus all his attention on the jar.

Inside the jar, the silver liquid rolled more violently, as if being stirred by an invisible force.

In this chaos, a figure gradually emerged. Its outline was blurry, but an unprecedented sense of vitality and oppression could be felt.

This is not just an embryo, but more like an ancient god that is about to awaken. Its body contains power and wisdom beyond imagination.

"Tsk——"

When Owen saw clearly the appearance of the creature in the jar, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a sneer.

Although the figure in the jar is only beginning to take on a human form.

But with that silver hair and standing here, the creature seemed to sense something and opened its red eyes.

Miss Granger was indeed right.

The goblin really has a plan to create a god.

"Mr. Rozier." France the Fairy looked at him with some fear.

After realizing Golem's betrayal, France and a group of goblin scholars immediately realized that changes might occur in the training area.

When I arrived, I was in such a hurry that I didn't notice anyone following me.

Just as he was inspecting many jars of embryos. Most of them have died. This was what he had expected. The moment he walked into the ruins, he keenly felt that the ancient magic power as an energy source in the ruins had disappeared.

Although he can't feel the ancient magic power, after all, he has studied it again for decades and been exposed to magic power for decades. Even if he is not the heir, some ancient magic power has still seeped into his body over time. Very little. But it gave him a keen intuition. An intuition for ancient magic.

But now, this training room gave him a strong sense of loss.

But——the embryo in front of me was different.

Although the embryo itself was only in human form, he knew that the other party was a living creature.

"Haha——" Owen sneered. However, his eyes did not stop at the fairy France, but silently stared at the embryo in the jar in front of him.

The life in the jar had nothing to do with him.

There was no way a goblin could get his bloodline.

Silver hair, red eyes——

Or maybe——

Owen thought of a possibility. Somewhat absurd and need evidence.

"Humanity--"

Suddenly a disembodied voice came to his ears.

Not surprisingly, it was coming from the half-lived and half-dead embryo in front of me.

There was no hesitation.

Owen raised his wand, and Avada Kedavra instantly swallowed the entire jar.
