The Daily Life of a Hogwarts Warfare Professor

1.

Victor's face suddenly turned pale.

His instincts were screaming in his head to stay away from it, but his consciousness told him not to be too embarrassed in front of the ancient Egyptian servants.

So he stiffly greeted the python.He didn't expect the other party to respond, just in case it wanted to lick Victor as a friendly gesture and then swallowed Victor in one gulp.

Have you never heard of such a fable: The Farmer and the Snake.

But the giant snake in the flames didn't seem to see the farmer Victor. It arched its big head and waist in the fireplace as if no one was watching, and then moved away.

It may be the science of small hole imaging, or some other magical technology, that sent the phantom of the snake to the secret room of the tree tower.

"It's not here." Victor turned back to confirm with the Black Magician: "Where did I see it from the fireplace? Why is there a..."

oh.Victor suddenly remembered something.

This is the only place at Hogwarts that keeps snakes.Children and old people are not deceived.

"That's the Slytherin Chamber."

Victor's idea is bold.But the British author Holmes said: Excluding all wrong answers, even if the remaining answers are impossible, they are the truth.

"Did you project that secret room?"

If what Victor saw just now was the phantom of the basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, it would explain why Victor was not petrified by the basilisk's gaze.

Because he was just looking at a picture full of watermarks.

But here comes the problem.Why would the Dark Magician show this to himself?This Slytherin Chamber of Secrets?

Victor tapped his fingers on the bricks unconsciously. What did the Black Magician want to tell him?

Wait a minute, think about the original.The Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was left by Salazar, the first founder of Hogwarts, and the first dean of Slytherin, in order to carry out ethnic cleansing.

Only a descendant of Slytherin who is also a Parseltongue can open this room and release the thousand-year-old snake to bring disaster to the mixed-blood wizard.

Oh, Salazar Slytherin was a dark wizard too.

A white light of wisdom flashed in the background of Victor's mind.

"Did you use the same dark magic as the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets to build this secret room?" Victor turned his back to the black magician and did not need the other party to respond at all.

"You just asked me to smear blood on the fireplace to declare my sovereignty?"

I'm afraid that the ring in the owl's three-dimensional trajectory diagram that confuses me serves the purpose of identification.

That's the same as Parselmouth. No one except people of Eisner blood can open the secret room.

Victor intuitively felt the Dark Magician nodding behind him.But he didn't confirm, he was still trying to see what was behind the flames.

Nothing left.

He returned to the hanging chair and carefully went through the current situation in his mind.

The Dark Magician crafted for him a chamber of secrets similar to that of Salazar Slytherin.Only Eisner can open it.

"Is this secret room connected to the one behind the fireplace?" Victor asked.

The Dark Magician shook his head!It was just that he temporarily cut the live scene of the basilisk to give Victor a hint.

Fortunately, I wasn't too embarrassed by the scare.Victor touched his nose.

"I didn't expect that the black magic in ancient Egypt would be exactly the same as the black magic in the UK." He relaxed and swung on the hanging chair. "Did it spread to Britain later? Did the UK pay royalties?"

The old headmaster of Slytherin didn't know who he learned this trick from.

Moreover, ancient Egypt and Britain did not seem to be as separate as I thought. At least they had some inheritance in the area of ​​black magic.Victor thought.

This topic should be able to publish an SCI article, and the title can be: Multi-scale time series tracing research on Egyptian-British magic.

"Is the mechanism of black magic all like this? For example, adding a layer of dark energy to the white magic of space?" He asked himself.

"This is really... I thought the framework of black magic would be a little more advanced than white magic. Otherwise, why would those dark wizards keep emphasizing that they promote the progress of magic... Well, I don't mean to step on you, black wizard."

It's just that compared to Avada's big melon, this secret room is more practical than powerful.

It's just right to use it as your own black magic training ground and trial court.It is much safer than a tree tower where someone may visit at any time.

Victor began to imagine how to decorate this secret room.But before that, he had to solve a more important problem.

"How should I go back?" His mind was dull.

Jumping off the hanging chair, Victor went to check the four walls of the secret room.

This is actually a very large space. He just walked roughly around it and didn't pay attention to the secret door.This time he even spared the floor and ceiling, but still couldn't find the statues or doorposts that were as fancy as those in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

He circled around and returned to the fireplace.

No way.

Victor tentatively extended a little finger towards the fireplace.

Oops, hot.It's real fire.

"Do I have to go back up from here?"

"...".No one answered.

Victor held his head and smiled bitterly.He began to wonder if the monsters in the Pharaoh card had their tongues cut out collectively in ancient Egypt.

"Okay. I'll go over to your place." Victor turned around, "Teach me how to get back..."

The fluorescent flash at the tip of the wand was suddenly interrupted.

Victor's throat rolled, and he slowly raised his right hand holding the wand.

In front of him, the green scepter was pointed directly at him.The conch on top of the scepter only needs five inches to poke Victor's nose.

The Dark Magician, the Dark Magician again.

Victor was ready to perform the silent secret with his left hand.Then, he said to this ancient Egyptian fanatic who dared to point the weapon at him: "You...what do you mean?"

After thousands of years of silence, he finally figured out how to overthrow slavery and become a master under the influence of modern civilization?

As always, the Black Magician did not pay attention to Victor with words, but used actions to prove that he had no disrespect for his master or wanted to change his mind.

There was just a dark magic, and he wanted to show it to Victor.

The conch blew a low melody, and Victor's heart began to beat wildly for no reason.

He has always had a strong sensitivity and intuition towards magic, but in his short and ordinary first half of his life, he had never experienced such a sudden and violent psychological reaction.

Yes, not even when I fell in love for the second time.

I have to fight.

No matter what he wants to do to me, I have to fight.

Victor's chest instinctively swelled with a desire for resistance, like a rhinoceros in the prairie alertly aware of the hunter's gaze.But this was not enough to scare him. What really slowed down his spell casting was another flash of intuition.

His intuition told him: You can't escape.

A pearl-sized ball suddenly appeared inside the conch on top of the scepter. Victor's silent spell of "turn everything to stone" was interrupted by the green glass-like light of the scepter just in the middle of reading it.

Victor's eyes darkened.Once again, he disappeared from the front of the black magician.

After finishing all this, the black magician lowered his staff, walked to where Victor was standing just now, bent down, and picked up a card from the ground that appeared here the moment Victor disappeared.

On the card, Victor's image holding a wand is framed by a box.The voice and appearance are still there.
