Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"Now that you are not going to capture Serente for my sake, what are you going to do next?" Serente asked.

"Although I won't capture Serent, I can keep an eye on him. If he really has the "Independence Code" and dares to use it without authorization, it would be the same if I just snatch it and go back to report it." Gruul said with a smile.

"So what you said in the mountain col before that I came here to see you was all casual?" Delphi asked immediately and tactfully.

"Of course not, aren't you here now?" Gruul replied with a smile.

He thought very clearly that as Dean, he had almost no chance to ask for help. The only possibility was related to the Holy Light Chain. It was better to solve it sooner rather than later, so he concluded that Dean and the others would come soon. Find him here.

It turned out that he had expected it.

Delphi shook his head and sighed deeply: "I just want to ask, what if Serent transfers the "Independence Code" during our conversation?"

Gruul's face froze, and he said uncomfortably: "I still firmly believe that something as important as the Independent Code will not be on Serent, otherwise I will not be the only one who comes."

At this point, Dean's expression changed a little. If Gruul's idea was correct, wouldn't it mean that...it wasn't Gruul who was really tripped up here, but them?

If there were really other pursuers, wouldn't Serente be in danger now?

Dean suppressed his uneasiness and stood up: "Since you can't break the chain of Holy Light and I have got the information I want to know, let's leave first."

"Apologies again for my recklessness." Gruul stood up and bowed deeply.

"If you get a way to unlock the forbidden runes or lift the Holy Light Chain, please inform me as soon as possible." Dean said.

"It's natural."

"Also, if there is anything wrong with Serende, I hope you will not harm his life." Dean said after hesitating.

"As you wish." Gruul nodded again.

"By the way, I have a small request. I wonder if you can help me?" Dean suddenly remembered something.

"That's my honor." Gruul bowed slightly.

Dean stretched out his left hand to him, showed the soul rune and said: "I have used this soul rune once, and I would like to ask you to help replenish the lost power of holy light."

Delphi looked at Dean's empty palms blankly, wondering if he was stupid.

Gruul saw something that Delphi could not possibly see, a shining golden rune full of vitality.

"This is the soul rune? It's so beautiful!" Gruul let out a series of admirations.

Delphi's face darkened, and she found that she was once again excluded from an invisible circle.

"You can replenish the power of holy light in this rune, right?" Dean confirmed.

"Of course, it's easy for me." Gruul gently tapped Dean's palm twice. Dean suddenly felt different. The filling feeling from the soul rune was just like the one given to him by Du Plessis. He felt exactly the same.

"Thank you very much, I can use it three more times." Dean said happily.

"The power of holy light can be obtained everywhere, but it is the soul rune. As far as I know, there is only this one." Gruul said, "Maybe one day in the future, I will also ask you to use the soul rune."

"Oh?" Dean glanced at Gruul unexpectedly, not understanding what he was going to do with the soul rune, but he still generously agreed: "No problem, I can reserve a chance to use the soul rune for you. "

"This time it's my turn to thank you." Gruul smiled.

"Have you considered a problem?" Delphi suddenly interjected, "What if Gruul wants to use the soul rune, and the power of holy light stored in it happens to run out?"

"Grul himself can add it." Dean reminded that this was not a problem at all.

"What if, I mean what if Gruul was unable to replenish the power of holy light to the soul rune at that time?" Delphi strongly hinted.

"How is this possible?" Dean laughed dumbly.

"No, this possibility does exist. Even if it is small, it cannot be completely denied." Gruul thoughtfully took out a milky white stone, injected the power of holy light into it and handed it to Dean: "I'll go to This holy light stone stores some holy light power, which can replenish the soul rune at least twice. I think even if the extreme situation mentioned by Delphi occurs, the holy light power in this holy light stone is enough. Avoid the worst from happening.”

"I would like to ask, can the Holy Light Stone only replenish the power of Holy Light to the soul runes?" Dean asked after accepting the Holy Light Stone.

"As long as they are holy light runes." Gruul's answer made Dean smile with satisfaction.

……

After leaving Cape Cod Pier and confirming that Gruul had not followed, Delphi asked in confusion: "Dean, why did you just hint that I should act out that scene with you?"

"If not, how could we get the Holy Light Stone?" Dean was a little proud.

It turns out that Delphi suddenly intervened at the end and said that the extreme situation was that obtaining the Holy Light Stone from Gruul was a scene where Dean and Delphi cooperated tacitly.

"Is the Holy Light Stone very useful? In my opinion, it is just two more opportunities to use soul runes." Delphi did not understand Dean's approach.

"No, the Holy Light Stone is the key to releasing the Holy Light Chain." Dean said mysteriously.

"Do you know how to release the Holy Light Chain?" Delphi asked suspiciously.

Since being chained by the Holy Light, she has been with Dean the whole time. There is no sign that Dean knows how to break the Chain of the Holy Light.

"We don't know yet, but we can give it a try." Dean took out the Holy Light Stone and weighed it in his hand, "You should be able to guess that the key to lifting the Holy Light Chain is the power of the Holy Light."

"No, I think the key is to have the unlocking rune." Delphi habitually said the opposite.

"Okay, let me correct my statement. The power of the Holy Light and the unlocking rune are indispensable."

"But unblocking the runes is the most important thing, otherwise Gruul would have unblocked them for us just now." Delphi said seriously.

"I think it might not be difficult to get the unlocking rune." Dean smiled.

"Will you die if you don't brag?" Delphi rolled her eyes at Dean.

"You'll find out if you're bragging or not." Dean said, taking out a piece of parchment and a quill.

"What do you want to do?" Delphi looked at Dean's serious look and couldn't help but start to doubt his own judgment.

Dean waved his hand and lowered his head to write on the parchment: "First of all, let me draw a confinement rune."

As the confinement runes in memory were copied intact to the parchment, the system predictably popped up a line of prompts that made Dean happy: "Congratulations on activating the confinement runes in the XX runes and obtaining the confinement How to use runes..."
