Ashes of Hogwarts

The bathroom, along with the sewers extending in all directions in Hogwarts and the secret rooms containing the basilisks, is as difficult to search as searching through all the secret passages in Hogwarts.

With bloodstains as a guide, the knights' search became much less difficult.

But Ash was still disappointed, Peter's blood finally disappeared at the entrance to the secret room.

The Chamber of Secrets had been destroyed by Ash before, and was now nothing more than a pile of rubble.If there are life fluctuations inside, it cannot be hidden from these great heroes.

"Why is this guy so good at running away?"

Ash felt that Peter's level of mutation must have been quite high.

Otherwise, how could a mouse be so seriously injured and still run so far?

"You guys maintain the scene, and I'll find a professional to help."

Although not even a hair was found, the blood stains on the ground were the best traces.

Track and fight.

The Faran Undead are good at this, but Ash doesn't need their fighting power right now.

And who can be more suitable than him for tracking this item!

Half an hour later, Ash hurriedly brought Holmes and Watson, who were wearing magic floating cloaks, to the bathroom on the third floor.

"Honestly, it's been more than 100 years since I graduated from Hogwarts, and this is the first time I've entered the girls' bathroom."

Unlike Holmes, Watson was also an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts - he was from Gryffindor.

He lamented the darkness of this bathroom.

"As soon as I saw it I knew it must be the work of Slytherin!"

Watson made this comment about the bathroom.

In a sense, his feelings were surprisingly accurate.

"Okay, Mr. Losric, so you are so anxious to dig me out of a lot of information and interrupt my thoughts that have been sorting out for two nights just to ask me to help you find a damn mouse?"

Holmes was a little angry.

I'm not a human GPS, and I'm not a cat!You asked me, the wisest detective in England, to catch mice.

Who do you look down on?

"This is no ordinary mouse." Ash motioned Holmes to look at the string of blood stains on the ground.

"Did it cause harm to the child? It actually shed so much blood, so it is indeed not an ordinary mouse." Holmes used his fingers to pick up the blood that had not dried on the ground and sniffed it gently.

vomit~

"This child may not be in good health. Let him pay more attention to his health."

Holmes almost vomited.

This blood was full of malice, and it made him feel sick.

He almost couldn't maintain his aloof image.

Ash wanted to stop it, but Holmes moved too quickly.

"In fact, this is the blood of that rat. He is an illegal Animagus who previously stole a forbidden book of dark magic and attacked a young wizard. This is the second time he has taken action. .”

"Must be an evil Slytherin, they are always not so friendly to half-blood wizards!"

Watson made the accusation angrily, not caring that there were Slytherin students outside the bathroom.

Then he was mercilessly rebutted by Ash.

"No, he's a Gryffindor to be precise."

"Then he is a fake Gryffindor, an undercover agent sent by Slytherin!"

Ash couldn't help but feel admiration at these words.

It has been more than 100 years since the old man graduated, but the Gryffindor mentality in his heart has really not changed at all.

"It seems he didn't succeed."

Holmes observed the scene and quickly came to this conclusion.

"John and I came to Hogwarts 50 years ago. Dumbledore, who had not yet become the principal, received us. We talked and laughed. Now that his students are threatened, you have found me again. I should also help you with this. I won’t take the money."

For him, an outstanding graduate and reserve successor of Kamal Taj, tracking is the easiest thing to do.

Standing on the bloodstain, Holmes pinched his orchid fingers.

A flash of green light soon appeared at his fingertips.

As he made gestures one after another, a dense array began to be gradually outlined in the air.

"Back in time, Karma Taj's secret magic can see what happened in a certain period of time. Most of Sherlock's cases were solved by this method."

On the side, Watson kindly explained this magic to Ash.

"Shut up, John! Those boring cases are not worth killing a single brain cell for. My precious brain is used to solve the really complicated cases!"

Holmes kept talking, but it did not affect the construction of the magic circle in his hand.

Soon, in a burst of green light, the scene of the previous attack reappeared on the scene like a 3D projection.

Ignoring the first half of Peter's one-sided beating, Ash could see Peter's escape direction toward the secret room at a glance.

"go!"

After smashing the entrance to the secret room with a slap, Ash jumped out with Holmes, leaving Watson alone in a daze.

"Hey, what do I do?"

he asked as he lay down at the entrance.

After a long while, a voice came from inside.

"You watch the entrance from above, in case a mouse escapes from there!"

"You always do this, Sherlock!"

Watson has every reason to suspect that Holmes is taking deliberate revenge for revealing the secrets he used to solve the case.

But he still had no choice but to conjure up a chair and sit at the exit.

"It's always like this, you chase the criminal, and I'll provide insurance."

Under the secret passage, Ash ran with Holmes.

The magic floating cloak can also fly, but it is still too slow compared to Ash's footsteps.

Following Peter's route in retracement, the two soon came to the ruins of the secret room.

Peter's blood trail also ended here.

But it's not that he used any means, but that the wound has healed automatically.

"It's unimaginable that his body could produce so much blood."

Holmes was amazed.

Although the wizard's physical fitness is slightly better than that of ordinary people, he must have died after losing so much blood.Not to mention the Animagus who is a rat.

As Peter transformed into a human and stepped into the ruins of the secret room, Ash's spirit became tense.

He knew that the next step was the key.

In the green light, Peter kept rubbing his penetrated chest.

Although it had healed, it was obvious that the pain continued to affect him.

The ruins of the Chamber of Secrets are densely covered with cracks after Ash's battle with the Basilisk. Even the statue of Slytherin has been broken into three sections and embedded in the wall.

It's so tragic. Before Slytherin died, he never imagined that his statue would be treated like this by the basilisk he raised.

Peter rolled around in the ruins, and soon he came to a relatively well-preserved corner.

"The great Lord of Darkness..."

He began to chant.

Soon, he plunged towards the wall.

Like passing through a curtain of water, he submerged into the wall silently.

The two looked at each other and soon came to the wall.

Holmes reached out and touched it to confirm that it was a real wall.

"Have you memorized those prayers?"

Of course Holmes remembered it, but he didn't want to pray to an inexplicable existence.

Let's leave it to Lothric.

Of course Ash didn't remember it, but standing in front of this wall, he could always feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

So he stood directly opposite the wall and used the unique skills of the soul world.

roll!

The wall disappeared, and a dark, silent corridor appeared behind it.

As far as the eye could see, even the light was swallowed up by the darkness.
