Chapter 1392 Extra 1 Future Rivals
For most people in the magic world, they still cannot clearly understand what kind of crisis they have just gone through.
Many British wizards, as well as the general public of the world's magical civilization, believed that the war hailed by the Daily Prophet as the 'Hogwarts Holy War' was similar to the Great Fire of Paris.
The mastermind behind all this was the infamous Voldemort, who had been causing trouble in the British wizarding world for many years.
Of course, everything that happened in the famous "Pig's Head Bar" on the night the holy war ended was leaked through various channels.
However, no official media outlet has published any detailed reports.
It is conceivable that for quite a long time to come, various rumors about the truth of "Voldemort's defeat" will be rampant.
But in the end, the truth will be lost in the dust of history, just like Slytherin's Murder Chamber.
In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Interviews and press conferences from media from various countries on "The Night of Paris", "Hogwarts Holy War", and "The Defeat of Voldemort";
The work of comforting and providing pensions to the families of the strikers and students who unfortunately died in the war occupied every minute of Amosta's time in the past half month.
People wanted to meet Amos Tower Blaine.
They all wanted to hear him talk about the connection between the 'Isle of Avalon' that Voldemort had moved during the 'Hogwarts Crusade' and the Avalon in mythology. They all wanted to know what kind of existence the basilisk that appeared above the clouds and blocked out the sun during the war was.
Where on earth did he go the night he left?
What is the 'Platinum Rainbow Bridge' that emerges from the Hogwarts campus and flies across half of Britain to the North Sea?
Naturally, the sinking of Azkaban and the disappearance of all the Dementors were facts that could not be concealed from anyone.
"Based on what we know now, Azkaban may not be as simple as we thought. It may be an ancient relic, and Voldemort discovered the power of ancient wizards from the relic."
In the reception hall of the Ministry of Magic, facing the questions from reporters, Amosita said calmly,
"As for the power that sank Azkaban, it was the ancient magic left behind by the four great founders of Hogwarts."
There was not a single questioning voice in the crowded hall.
Amosta Blaine stood on the platform with his familiar warm smile, but it still inspired people's deep awe.
This is not only because of the extraordinary magical powers he demonstrated in the 'Hogwarts Holy Battle' and the fact that he was the one who finally killed Voldemort.
But -
Wherever Amosta Blaine was, the air seemed to become sticky, and people who looked at him for a long time would have the illusion that breathing had become difficult.
"Well, for now, that's it--"
Amosta nodded to Minister Bones and then disappeared from people's sight.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
After the war, Hogwarts has become a new "Internet celebrity attraction" in the wizarding world.
There was a constant stream of people on the road from Hogsmeade village to Hogwarts.
Reporters from magical civilizations around the world or wizards who were curious about the war came here at great lengths just to catch a glimpse of the aftermath of the war.
The terrain near the school has taken on a completely different look.
The rugged mountain roads and forests between Hogsmeade Station and the school were flattened and turned into a scorched earth.
Three towering pillars and the Whomping Willow still support the Island of Avalon. The broken castle within the light blue magic barrier is inhabited by dormant magical beasts.
The strikers who patrol the barrier also have the task of maintaining order, and every day they need to coordinate several disputes arising from the fight for more photo-taking positions.
When Amosta appeared in people's sight, it caused a commotion as expected.
Wizards in the sky and underground rushed to the school gate like crazy, just to see Amos Tower Blaine, who would put an end to it all.
"Professor Blaine!"
A figure squeezed out of the noisy crowd and limped to Amosta, panting but not hiding his excitement.
"Argus?"
The people unconsciously quieted down and stretched their ears to listen to what Mr. Blaine said.
"Have you been staying here?"
Amosta asked gently, looking at Agus in front of him with dirty cheeks and jacket.
Filch hugged Mrs. Norris tightly and nodded awkwardly.
"I was wondering if you were planning on cleaning up the castle sometime, maybe I could come in handy!"
Amosta laughed and patted Filch on the shoulder, which excited him to death!
"You are right, Argus, the castle does need a good cleaning, so come with me."
People knew what Amos Tower Brain was going to do, and they watched in awe as Amos Tower Brain supported an old cripple into the magic barrier, penetrated it, and entered the realm of monsters.
As expected, the scene where Amosta Brian displayed his thunderous skills and killed all the monsters did not appear.
But what they saw was even more subversive!
After the destruction of the twin snake staffs, these monsters driven by the power of "death" fell completely silent. Even when Amosta and Filch walked past them, they were not awakened.
The two walked along the cobblestone path leading to the castle. When passing the Quidditch field, several fallen soccer sticks that collapsed the stands blocked their way.
Amosta stopped and looked around the campus that had become a den of monsters.
The main buildings of Hogwarts Castle were almost all seriously damaged, and the Ravenclaw Tower had even collapsed. Meteoric craters had smashed the campus beyond recognition, and the skeletons of several Titans fell into the dried-up Black Lake, and the original residents of the lake had to move to the remaining puddles outside the barrier.
The devastated Hogwarts.
Argus' eyes flashed with sorrow and grief. He looked at the bone dragons perched on the Gryffindor Tower. He sniffed and turned his head cautiously to look at Amosta.
"How do you plan to deal with this? Professor Brian, do you need to call for more help?"
"Don't worry, Argus, I can handle this."
Amosta smiled.
The majestic soul power surged out of the body like a wave, and in an instant, enveloped the entire Hogwarts campus!
Whether it was Filch beside Amosstar or the people watching the excitement outside the barrier, they were suddenly shocked to find that Hogwarts seemed to be shrouded in a layer of silver gauze, full of mystery and solemnity.
Amid people's exclamations, the magical beasts lurking in various places in the castle were wrapped in silver bubbles and flew towards the Island of Avalon above their heads like tired birds returning to their nests.
His eyes swept across the crumbling castle, and pieces of bricks and stones floated up from the ground with a rumbling sound, gathering into a black torrent in mid-air!
"This is a miracle!"
The wizards outside the barrier exclaimed.
As they stared in shock, in less than a minute, the crumbling castle on the cliff regained its former solemnity and majesty!
hum!
Two of the three towering pillars supporting the Island of Avalon were crushed to dust amidst the continuous humming and disappeared like phantoms, while the remaining ice-blue one melted again and filled the large pit left after the Black Lake dried up.
The vision becomes clear!
When the three giant pillars disappeared, people's vision suddenly became clear again.
Before they could exclaim in amazement at this scene, the gradually collapsing Avalon Island made everyone's face turn pale with horror!
Pop, pop, pop!
The long branches of the Whomping Willow broke one by one, and the thick trunk made a ferocious and heart-pounding sound like steel bending!
"Professor Blaine!"
Filch screamed, his old body shaking like a sieve.
"It's all right, Argus--"
Amosta said soothingly in a gentle tone.
Looking at the gradually falling Avalon Island, Amosta's brown eyes flashed with nostalgia.
For the first time, Amostas raised his right hand, and his calm face showed a hint of effort for the first time.
As if supporting something, Amostas's bent arms gradually straightened!
"Merlin's beard!"
"This is impossible. I must be dreaming!"
"Mr. Blaine!"
Outside the barrier, the crowd of wizards watching burst into exclamations one after another. Some even knelt on the ground, worshipped devoutly, and shouted "miracle!"
Surrounded by the breeze, the Island of Avalon, which had fallen to the earth, righted itself. Amidst the breathtaking rumbling sound, the huge island rose inch by inch and flew into the sky little by little!
Amosta still stared intently at the Island of Avalon. Under the mobilization of the majestic soul power, the unparalleled magic power turned into an endless supply of soft breeze, which continued to lift the Island of Avalon upwards. It became smaller and smaller until it turned into a "moon disk" in people's sight!
But this is not the end.
Filch stared at Professor Brain beside him with his mouth wide open. He saw that he had a gentle smile on his face, and his right arm, which was raised in the air, turned at the wrist and raised his palm gently.
call!
Strong wind emerges.
Fierce gusts of air swept the falling branches of the Whomping Willow.
It seems that there is a pair of dexterous hands in the invisible world, weaving countless willow branches into a grid-like road!
Zheng!
The green willow branch pierced through the void, and half of its length was immersed in nothingness.
"What are you going to do?"
Filch asked vaguely, with some vague guess in his mind.
"hehe--"
Amosta's right hand slowly dropped down and was placed behind his back along with his left hand.
He gazed at the green willow path with a certain appreciation and a certain contentment.
“This road will lead to an island in the sky. In the future, young wizards who want to graduate from Hogwarts will face this new test.
They need to go to the island through this road and kill at least one monster as a symbol of passing the test. Oh, of course, I will rate all the monsters on the island. The higher the level of the monster killed, the higher the score the little wizards will get. "
"Can"
Filch was rarely seen mourning for the little wizards in his heart, but he still asked in confusion,
"What's the point of doing this?"
"Dear Argus--"
Amosta patted Filch's shoulder again. He smiled and gazed at the newly renovated castle, with a meaningful tone in his voice.
"Peace will not last forever. One day, wizards will face a more brutal war and an opponent more brutal than Voldemort. Before the war ends, wizards must not forget to train their courage and skills."
