Chapter 268 Hufflepuff can’t go back

"First of all, you must be curious about why I look like this, right?" After sitting on his seat, Les felt reassured and started talking.

Hufflepuff nodded. She really wanted to know why her old friend had become so much younger after not seeing each other for several years. This was not the way to grow in reverse.

Maybe he invented some kind of special potion that can restore a person's body to its youthful state? Hufflepuff guessed.

She thought it was very reasonable.

After all, Salazar was the world's leading master of potions, so coming up with such a potion did not surprise her.

'Rowner might like this potion. ’ A strange thought came to Hufflepuff’s mind, and then she thought that maybe she could get a potion from Salazar and take it.

Who doesn’t want to regain the body of his youth in old age? Even if it doesn't extend your life, it can make your last few years of life more comfortable. There are many functions that you cannot feel when they exist, but when you lose them, you will realize their importance.

Rice's voice brought Hufflepuff's wandering thoughts back to reality.

"After leaving the castle -" At this point, Hufflepuff snorted heavily again, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Les's actions back then. Les just pretended not to hear and continued: "I was wandering outside. After a while, I got an origin fragment by chance.”

The words "origin fragment" sounded like thunder in Helga's ears. She stood up suddenly and stared at Les closely.

"you will not……"

"It's not what you think. I used it to make a potion."

Hufflepuff felt a little relieved after seeing that Les was using the Origin fragments to make medicine. If her old friend took the Origin Fragment directly, she would really have to seriously consider whether to bury him in this palace.

Having overthrown the rule of gods, she could not allow herself and her friends to become new gods.

But even if it is a magic potion, it is difficult to make people feel at ease, and what does this have to do with "thousand years" or something?

"I was inspired by the shedding of snakes. After taking the magic potion, I fell into a deep sleep. During my deep sleep, I shed a layer of skin every once in a while. Every time I shed a skin, I become younger. , it was not until I became a ten-year-old child that I woke up from my deep sleep - which I had been sleeping for nearly a thousand years."

Hufflepuff: Huh?

Even in the magical world, Salazar's words are a bit bizarre, just like the fables in storybooks. But considering that he got an origin fragment, it seems quite reasonable? If you are willing to bear the negative effects of that thing, eating it directly can achieve the effect of longevity.

But the problem is that according to Salazar's own statement, he slept for a thousand years after taking the potion, so how did he get in touch with himself a thousand years ago?

Hufflepuff was pretty sure that she hadn't slept for a thousand years.

"It's the effect of this palace. I used its power to meet you thousands of years ago."

'There were a few fights. ’ Les said in his heart, but he didn’t say it out loud.

Les told Hufflepuff exactly the functions of the palace ruins, and she was in awe of the place.

"I thought this place was just an ordinary unexplored ruins, but I didn't expect..." She opened her eyes wide and carefully observed the hall in front of her.

However, even though her eyes were sore, she didn't notice anything unusual: it looked like an ordinary ruins.

Eventually, Hufflepuff gave up. She turned to chatting with her old friend: "So you went back? As a student?"

Les nodded: "As a young wizard of the right age, I have shown my magical talent in Britain, so I will naturally be admitted to the school - the Book of Access will still operate normally after a thousand years."

"Great." Helga smiled from the bottom of her heart. She was very, very happy that the school she and her friends founded was still functioning normally after a thousand years.

In fact, more than just functioning normally, Hogwarts fully meets the description of thriving - it is now the best magic school in the world. Maybe some other magic schools are still not convinced, but whether they admit it or not, they know the importance of Hogwarts in their hearts.

"Um...um..." Hufflepuff had a question that he was very concerned about, but he was a little embarrassed to ask Les because it was indeed a sensitive topic.

"As a student from a Muggle family, this is what you want to ask, right?" Just by looking at his expression, Les guessed what Helga wanted to ask.

Helga nodded seriously.

"They have integrated very well. There are no fewer students from Muggle families in the school than there were back then. After graduation, most of them stayed in the magical world and became part of the wizards."

As for those wizards who pursue pure-blood supremacy, Les did not mention it, so as not to upset Hufflepuff.

"Even Rowena accepted a little witch from a Muggle family as his apprentice!"

Helga:?

"Wait, you mentioned Rowena? Did she actually live a thousand years later?!" Hufflepuff was shocked - everyone, am I the only one who has not considered immortality?

"It can't be said that she is still alive..." Rice told Hufflepuff what happened to Ravenclaw, and told Hufflepuff how he restored her consciousness.

"Thank you so much." Hufflepuff thanked Les sincerely.

"It's Rowena who has done the hard work." Les shook his head.

Hufflepuff nodded.

"I have to go back." After learning about Ravenclaw's situation, Hufflepuff decided to end his travels immediately and return to Hogwarts.

"We can't leave Rowena alone in school, right?" Hufflepuff shrugged, indicating that she must help Ravenclaw and share her burden.

hiss--

Les suddenly felt that something was not good. When Hufflepuff stood up, he suddenly realized: Helga's idea was most likely to be in vain, and she could not go back.

This palace went upstream in the long river of time, taking itself to a point a thousand years ago. However, when I walked out of the palace, the timeline of the outside world was still the timeline of the twentieth century - this had been revealed to me before. Confirmed.

So what happens after Hufflepuff leaves the palace? Is she living in the tenth century or the twentieth century? Considering that in history, Ravenclaw died alone in the castle and Hufflepuff disappeared while traveling, the answer is self-evident.

This is time, this is fate.

Helga and she were both fishes in the long river of time. He, the fish, took the "fishing boat" from the downstream to Helga upstream, and then "fished" her up. Now the fishing boat has gone downstream, and Helga can only go back downstream with herself.

Thinking of this, Les's forehead began to sweat.

Finally, he told Hufflepuff his speculation as tactfully as possible.
