Chapter 545 The End of Hogwarts
Looking at the ruined Durmstrang Castle, Les sighed and pulled Krum, who had been protected by his magic, out of the ground.
Krum had fainted at this time. But after coming out of the ground, he quickly regained consciousness.
Looking at the ruins in front of him, Krum's eyes flashed with confusion: Where am I?
"Could it be that this is..." A terrible guess flashed through Krum's mind.
"Yes, this is Durmstrang." Les sighed.
He didn't want to destroy this thousand-year-old school. After all, it was the common wealth of all wizards and the hard work of his friends. But in this level of confrontation, he was lucky to be able to save Krum.
Even he was unable to protect the entire Durmstrang Castle.
"You have two choices now. One is that we will allocate a piece of land in the Hogsmeade area, and you will open a magic school next to Hogwarts with the remaining teachers and students of Durmstrang. This way, safety is guaranteed. As for the other choice, you will understand even if I don't say it." Les looked into Krum's eyes and said.
The advantage of opening a new Durmstrang next to Hogwarts is safety, but the disadvantage is that students who can go to Hogwarts will not be willing to go to Durmstrang. Within 20 years, Durmstrang will be completely in name only and become the "lower house" of Hogwarts.
Rebuilding Durmstrang on the original site will obviously be much better in terms of student sources, but the difficulties it faces are also unimaginable.
Everything depends on Krum's choice. Les threw this rather tricky problem to him.
But for Krum, this problem does not need to be chosen at all.
"I will find a way to rebuild Durmstrang here." He expressed his attitude, "Finally, there is a chance to build a more spacious castle."
Les smiled.
"You can consider building a few more floors underground." Rowena gave her own suggestions.
"Yeah." Krum said he would seriously consider it.
Athena, who was listening to the conversation between the three people, felt a little bored.
She was wondering why things here seemed to have been resolved, but why didn't Les and the others show any intention to go back? What were they doing here?
What Athena didn't know was that while Les and Rowena were fighting the giant octopus in Durmstrang, fierce conflicts broke out on the top of the Pyrenees Mountains in Europe and Mount Greylock in North America.
The team from Hogwarts who went to support the two schools fought with the creatures that ran out of the underworld. Unlike Durmstrang, the other two places were inextricably linked, and the battle situation was deadlocked for a while - each of the three magic schools was attacked by creatures comparable to the God King. It was also extremely rare for three God King-level beings to leave the underworld at the same time.
The news that Hogwarts and the underworld broke out in three places at the same time caused an uproar in the underworld.
"Come out in full force, what a courage!"
"Are they really them?" "Yes, I have observed their domain and their iconic artifacts."
"Do you really not take our underworld seriously?"
In the underworld, an ancient being was indignant: Hogwarts's hand was too long!
Now, the ancient beings in the underworld have become unprecedentedly united. They have reached a consensus and decided to work together to remove the thorn in their eyes of Hogwarts.
And since the four old immortals in Hogwarts have stepped into the trap they set, they have nothing to say.
Come out in full force!
In just a dozen seconds, the sky around Hogwarts became gloomy.
Then a powerful force appeared out of thin air, followed by the second and third forces...
More than a dozen ancient beings whose strength is not inferior to the giant octopus that sacrificed in Durmstrang before left the underworld and returned to the world.
The only difference between them and the giant octopus is that, due to the lack of the sacrificial ceremony, they do not have a body that can continuously provide them with power.
But it doesn't matter. As long as they raze Hogsmeade to the ground first and then break through Hogwarts, they can get a supplement of power to make up for their deficit and even make some money.
The energy in wizards is much higher than that in Muggles, which is a very cost-effective choice.
The ancient beings estimate that all this can be controlled within a quarter of an hour. Then they can intercept the founders of Hogwarts who are returning to defend.
If they can devour the four of them...
The ancient beings are very excited just thinking about it.
There is no need to make sacrifices at all, and they can directly have a physical existence and return to reality.
"Divide and break", this is the plan of the ancient beings.
First, let the three God King-level beings obtain real bodies through sacrifice, and then entangle the people sent by Hogwarts to support, and then they will directly attack Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.
This plan is unsolvable in the eyes of the big guys in the underworld, unless the four founders of Hogwarts choose to stay at home from the beginning, then they will choose to live in peace with Hogwarts.
After all, Hogwarts has too much foundation, and no one is willing to rush into the holy land where four gods sit.
Now, the end of Hogwarts has come.
As soon as the existence of the underworld invaded reality in a large scale, Dumbledore, Hermione and Cedric who stayed in Hogwarts noticed it.
Hermione's expression instantly became solemn.
She took a rough feel and found that there were too many enemies.
The best thing to do now is to rely on the hidden magic of Hogwarts Castle to deal with these intruders, and support Godric until they resolve the crisis in the three magic schools and return to help.
But Hermione was not optimistic about the speed of their return, because this was obviously a deliberate strategy to keep them away!
Beads of sweat broke out on Hermione's forehead, and she was worried inside. However, Cedric and Dumbledore beside her looked calm and relaxed.
"Go and give them a long memory." Cedric came to a conclusion after squinting his eyes and looking at the clouds in the distance for a while.
"Yes," Dumbledore agreed.
Hermione:? ? ?
Instead of just waiting for help, are you going to take the initiative? !
She felt that she should persuade these two "Gryffindor-possessed" people to calm down.
"Should we wait for Godric and Les to come back?"
After hearing Hermione's words, Cedric and Dumbledore smiled at each other and then told her why he did this.
"We can't leave them alone because there's Hogsmeade outside."
"After blood sacrifice to Hogsmeade, they will gain more power, which will be detrimental to us."
Dumbledore and Cedric said in unison.
Only then did Hermione understand why the two wanted to take the initiative.
But after that, she looked at the two of them suspiciously, because they always made her feel that something was not right.
