Chapter 288 Nioff Fitzgerald
Be careful where you step and don't let yourself step into standing water.
Take your eyes back from under the glass skylight above,
Hermione looked at the Ancient Demon King in confusion.
The ancient demon king didn't give in.
He used his ancient magic power to light the two fires at the door.
Something strange happened,
Under the largest round glass skylight,
The floor opened a fan-shaped area, revealing a new tunnel.
"This is it?" Pappy asked doubtfully.
"Let's go, let's talk to you as we go."
After saying that, the Ancient Demon King took the lead on the new downward spiral stone staircase.
But it’s different from the one I just walked on.
Not only were there no torches lighting up the stone steps, the stones were also covered with moss, and a few weeds had grown out of nowhere.
After walking down for a long time,
The three of them finally walked into an aisle.
The dilapidation here feels even more serious,
There are piles of fallen stones on the ground,
"This is the secret room built by a certain four professors many years ago, the [Map Secret Room]."
"You will know why it is called [Map Secret Room] later. The four of them are called guardians, and they protect the magic that I have contained."
The ancient demon king spoke eloquently,
"Does it mean you took away the things they were protecting?"
Hermione asked,
It was a sharp question, but she wasn't wrong either.
"Well, it's not important, it's just a choice. This magic has been known to too many people, including the Fire Ash Snake Party, goblins, and too many people are involved in it."
"Now that it's been exposed, it's better to take it away instead of stupidly continuing to guard it."
From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with it at all. That’s how the Ancient Demon King felt anyway.
After walking only a few steps,
The three of them walked to a door with twisted and complicated patterns.
The Ancient Demon King pushed it aside and walked in with the three of them.
"Welcome to the secret map room."
As their eyes swept across the entire space, Hermione and Pappy finally understood why this place was called the Map Chamber.
The first thing I noticed was the rumbling sound that hit my ears, and the echoes that passed through my ears.
It seems like there are several waterfalls around, and indeed there are.
"This secret room is built in a huge cave under the Black Lake, and the flowing water comes from the Black Lake."
The ancient demon king pointed to a window sill and said,
From that window sill, you can peek into the entire underground cave.
But this is not the point,
The focus is on the huge glass floor that covers the entire room and four picture frames that are taller than Hagrid. There is no one in the picture frame at this time.
After walking down the steps, the two little witches saw clearly what was under the glass floor.
It turned out to be a sand table composed of countless stars and brilliance.
A miniature version of Hogwarts Castle and surrounding maps!
"This...is the map secret room?"
Hermione murmured,
She never thought that she had seen and passed under the black lake countless times,
There is such a mysterious secret room,
"What is this secret room for?" Pappy asked,
The ancient demon king explained casually,
"See those four frames? Inside are the portraits of the four guardians. They monitor the magic on me through this secret room."
"It seems they are not at home? Are they in other portraits?" Hermione said,
The ancient demon king spread his hands,
"The things you were guarding are gone, so what else are you guarding? Everyone has gone back to their homes. These people don't just have this portrait,"
"They still have descendants, such as Charles Rookwood. He should be in Rookwood's house. I haven't touched Victor Rookwood's son."
"But what we are looking for is Principal Neopher Fitzgerald. She may be taking a nap in the principal's office, but it doesn't matter. I can ask her to come over."
"[Burning flames]"
As the Ancient Demon King explained, he cast a spell on the leftmost picture frame, about to set it on fire.
Hermione was startled and subconsciously wanted to extinguish the flame.
You must know that the portrait only has memory and has no ability to cast spells. If it is burned, it will be gone.
Moreover, if you burn someone’s picture frame, they may not be able to feel it.
But something happened that was beyond the common sense of the three of them.
The moment the flame was released from the tip of the ancient demon king's staff,
A stream of water is pulled out from the water above the waterfall flowing in the cave outside,
Come towards the secret room of the map, just in time to extinguish all the flames at the moment they touch the picture frame.
The figure of a serious and gentle middle-aged lady appears on the frame.
With her red hair tied up and her hands in front of her,
It is Principal Neopher Fitzgerald (Chapter 26).
"How could it be!" Hermione exclaimed,
Whether it's sensing something is wrong with the portrait, or extinguishing the flame in a magical way,
It shouldn't be something that a lady who died an unknown number of years ago and turned into a portrait could do.
"Sure enough, my guess is good, Principal Neofer." The Ancient Demon King smiled.
Nioff Fitzgerald did not answer his words;
The Ancient Demon King was just testing her just now. As mentioned before, he should have guessed about the identity of the female principal.
And the fact that she appeared here and eliminated the flames meant that she was the wise and knowledgeable person that the ancient demon king wanted, and she was the one who might know the whereabouts of Jadeite.
"You are still affected by Isidora's emotional magic, otherwise you would not test me in this way."
The headmistress said,
The plain words vaguely revealed an unimaginable confidence.
Papi has never seen anyone pretending like this in front of the Ancient Demon King.
You mean, this guy, the Ancient Demon King, is very afraid of you? Why? He is already the first person in the world, who else deserves his caution?
"This is just an insignificant clone of you, no, just an identity."
The ancient demon king continued with a smile on his face, and there seemed to be uncontrollable ecstasy hidden under his smile.
"What's more, it's just a picture frame of this identity, don't you think so, Ms. Gaia?"
Gaia? Pappy said she had never heard of this word before.
Instead, it was Hermione, who had heard the related concepts from Raven,
The nature spirit worshiped by centaurs, druids, and Indians,
In Muggle terms, it is the will of the planet.
So the Ancient Demon King thinks that this Principal Nioffer Fitzgerald is actually the incarnation of the will of the planet?
If she is really an identity of Gaia, she must know where Cuiyu is, and it is too late to check now.
After all, no matter where Jadeite is, it will be on the planet.
But, how is this possible? Be it Gaia or the spirit of nature,
How could she have actually appeared as a personality? If she really appeared, why didn't the wizard record her?
No, that's not right. What if Gaia appears in a different identity every time?
As an ordinary wizard?
As an ordinary wizard, she is silently correcting the direction of the world. Is this possible?
