The Death Knell

There was no one else in the professor's small restaurant, because Su Ming and his group came late today, so they were the last group to eat. Neville's voice was also amplified a little, and he was not worried about being heard.

His current personality is also different from before, the self-confidence visible to the naked eye, if it were replaced by him when he was a child, let alone speaking normally, even if he was stared at, he would stutter.

In an environment surrounded by aromas, he continued to tell the stories his grandma told. After Isidora entered Hogwarts, she was carefully taught by Professor Rackham, not only the ordinary spells, but also the ancient magic that the professor and she could only master.

Ancient magic is very powerful, not only can create things out of thin air, change the world, and even have various other miraculous effects.

Unlike conventional spells, it doesn't even require a spell. All the caster needs to do is to determine his own mind, and then communicate with this power between heaven and earth, and it will be used by people.

This girl is a genius, she learns surprisingly fast, and has shown a very strong combat effectiveness. After graduation, she stayed in school to teach as a teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

It's just that Professor Rackham didn't find out that his apprentice was secretly conducting a dark magic experiment. Everything started with a good wish, but went wrong.

Isidora's brother died in that fire. She originally wanted to use the ancient magic she mastered to revive her brother, but it turned out that it belonged to the domain of the **** of death. No matter how powerful mortals are, they cannot reach the great shore . So she chose to settle for the next best thing.

After her son's death, her father was trapped in pain and self-blame all day long. Apart from drinking to drown his sorrows, he kept crying every day. It has been like this for many years.

She couldn't bear to see her father like this, so she invented a spell, using the power of ancient magic, to draw the sadness out of her father's soul

But more than a thousand years ago, there was no such thing as the spell 'Forgetting Nothing', and his father's memory was still there, so the pain would continue to arise. So she kept pumping and pumping. After work, she went home almost every day to get away from her father's pain.

After those painful emotions leave the body, they will form something like black cotton wool, and they want to get into other people's bodies very disobediently. For this reason, she bought a lot of bottles and jars, just to store these emotions, and she was also very happy to see her father's smiling face after each treatment.

At that time, Professor Rackham found out once, felt that it was not right, and advised her not to use ancient magic like this, but the young girl didn't listen at all, she thought she had created a new field of magic.

Ancient magic is too mysterious, no one knows how to use it, if it is limited by one's own imagination, how can it develop in the future?

Professor Rackham felt that it made sense, because he was old and could not restrict the development of his apprentices because of his personal views. So this little episode in life passed between the two of them, and everything went on as usual.

But as time went by, countless bottles and jars of emotions were piled up in her small hometown, and there was nowhere to put the newly extracted emotions. Transfer to yourself and seal it up.

She felt that her willpower was strong enough, and she also possessed extremely sharp ancient magic. Isn't it easy to resist some emotions?

As it turns out, she was half right.

After inhaling her father's painful emotions like smoking a cigarette, not only did these emotions not cause any waves in her body, but they were transformed into her strength in a very strange way, making her stronger than before.

After discovering this, things started to take some uncontrolled changes.

She first absorbed all the painful emotions stored at home, and found that she had become super strong, and when all the professors at Hogwarts combined were inferior to her, she then began to secretly leave Hogwarts to treat others everywhere' Heart disease'. Someone's son died? Someone's wife died? Someone dying himself? She would always appear there, using ancient magic to draw out the pain of these people and make them smile again. This experience made her feel more and more that she was doing the right thing.

But as time passed, she discovered a problem, that is, she began to get hungry.

If in the past, whether it was taking away the pain of others, or doing good deeds, it had no effect on her, then after a few months, if she didn't "eat" the painful emotions of more than a dozen people every day, she would feel flustered , sweating profusely, shortness of breath, lax thinking, general weakness.

Simply put, it's like an addict's addiction, and it's a thousand times more painful than that.

Because there were too many painful emotions in her body, when these emotions erupted, even she, who had become the strongest witch on earth at that time, could not resist.

Things then took a turn for the worse. In order to fight against the pain in her body, she secretly began to use ancient magic to extract joy, happiness, gratification and other emotions from other people's bodies. When the victim resisted, she also gradually lost her bottom line. Drain all emotions from the other person.

She lost control. Maybe there was no such thing as a Dark Lord at that time, but what she did has become a horror legend in that backward era.

Whether wizards or Muggles, goblins or house-elves, even magical animals were not safe from being killed, and every creature was terrified at the time, because the mysterious murderer would appear randomly in any part of the UK at night, and attack anyone or anyone. A group of creatures attack, and the victims are often found as unconscious walking corpses, that is, empty shells.

During the day, Isidora is a professor at Hogwarts, with a gentle personality, considerate and kind, and even participated in the investigation team that hunted down the murderer. No matter how you look at it, he is a very good young man.

But at night, she is the murderer!

The work of solving the case has not progressed for a long time, but the desire in Isidora's body is endless, and it grows so fast that she finally goes completely crazy.

When a professor in the school passed by the village where her hometown is, he thought about going to Isidora's house to say hello to his colleague's father, but after entering the door, he found that the old man had been turned into an empty shell for a long time, and the room was messy and full of people. dust. No one who can work at Hogwarts is an idiot. The professor instantly understood that this father had been an empty shell for a month. Isidora obviously went home every day, but when he came to work at the school If the matter is not mentioned at all, then there is only one possibility.

That is, she did everything.

What followed was some investigation and a battle of wits. The matter quickly developed into a battle between good and evil. Dozens of Hogwarts professors formed a group to besiege Isidora, and she killed many people.

Including the then headmaster, Ms. Fitzgerald, and Isidora's good teacher, Professor Rackham, all died in this battle.

Countless emotions make Isidora extremely powerful. Even in battle, she can continuously absorb the opponent's emotions through ancient magic, as if she has endless power, and she will become stronger as she fights.

In the end, with the help of the Charms teacher, a San from India sneaked up behind her and killed the terrifying witch with a death curse.

But this is not the end. A series of dark spells she invented have been handed down, especially the "ancient peeling spell" curse that detaches people's emotions and souls, which was also recorded by that Ah San in "Ancient Black Magic". In the "Encyclopedia of Magic", it is stored in the *** area of ​​Hogwarts.

No one knows why he did this, maybe it was to warn future generations to take a warning and not to invent spells with similar effects; or maybe he couldn't bear to see the powerful spell lost, so he kept it as a thought.

But in the *** area of ​​Hogwarts, this spell has no name, nor does it explain what effect it has. It exists alone in the book, and it has been safe and sound for an unknown number of years.

Until nine hundred years later, a young student named Tom Riddle wanted to pursue longevity and strength, so he, who was also a genius, accidentally saw this spell in this book, and discovered its real effect after experimenting . Although Voldemort did not have the talent to use ancient magic, he found an alternative, which was to kill others as sacrifices, use the souls of the dead to provide energy, and cast the spell left by Isidora to split his own soul, and then Transfer this part of the divided soul to another container

to the device.

Horcruxes, from here.

After the Voldemort incident, the book that recorded the Stripping Curse was still destroyed by Dumbledore~www.NovelMTL.com~ That's why the young wizards after that didn't know it existed.

"This is the story my grandma told me. When I was a child, I was really scared when I heard it. I kept thinking about what it would be like to lose my sanity, and I was afraid that I would become an idiot. But fortunately, at that time I am forgetful, and I forgot this story after a few days. If you hadn’t mentioned ancient magic today, professor, I might not have remembered it, hehe. Anyway, if you are looking for ancient magic, you should look for something related to this witch Things, we can definitely find some clues.”

After Neville finished telling the story, seeing that the three people at the table were silent, he could only continue to speak, bringing everyone's thoughts back to reality.

Su Ming didn't say anything, just looked at Hermione and spread his hands, the meaning was very simple. Sirius also said that he didn't have any clues. When he first arrived at Hogwarts, he asked Severus, Harry, and Neville. These three people either had ideas or information, and it went so smoothly. .

The co-author Sirius didn't ask them at all, but just turned into a big dog and walked around the castle secretly. Is this his investigation? What the **** can this find out?

Right now, I can get a lot of clues just by asking casually. Su Ming has never fought such a rich battle. This case-solving game is not difficult at all.
