Chapter 348 The War Buried in History
"Aftermath?!" He couldn't help but exclaimed: "How is that possible?"
The scene where the earth shook and the mountains shook just now, almost like a natural disaster, was actually just the aftermath of the battle?
Cedric felt that Professor Hufflepuff was probably using exaggerated rhetoric, because he could not imagine the scene when the two sides actually fought.
"You don't believe it?" Helga saw through Cedric's heart.
Cedric smiled coquettishly: You can't blame me for not believing it...
It's a bit too magical for something like this to happen in the wizarding world.
"Alas." Helga sighed softly. She originally had no intention of showing Cedric the battle that year, because she felt that there was no need to dig out these things that had been buried deep in the long river of history. They only make children more frightened and make them think wildly.
But now it seems that it is impossible not to let students see something real. He actually regarded the scene just now as the ultimate form of magic and told it to make people laugh!
Even Hufflepuff could imagine that one day in the future, Cedric would find Old Viper or his heirs, and then tell them that he had reached the ultimate level of magic, only to be reduced to a pupa.
The club will definitely die! I hope I have been buried by then, otherwise...
Considering the need to broaden students' horizons, Helga changed her mind.
She tapped her palms again, and the surrounding environment began to slowly change again.
The icy rain and the familiar Black Lake of Hogwarts disappeared, and Cedric found himself standing on a patch of grass dotted with flowers. When he was wondering why Professor Hufflepuff would bring him to a place like this, Helga also appeared beside him and asked him to look back.
When Cedric turned around, he was so frightened that he was standing on the edge of a cliff, with the rough sea at his feet!
Immediately taking two steps back to a position he thought was safe, Cedric breathed a sigh of relief and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
"Don't worry, this is the embodiment of my memory, and you won't be harmed here." Helga's voice rang in Cedric's ears.
Cedric ignored the teacher. At this time, he was staring closely at the sea not far away. He saw something was wrong: he didn't seem to be on a cliff, but on a floating island?
"Professor, this is-" Cedric was stunned before he could finish his question, because there were two people standing on each side of his body.
The person on the left is Professor Hufflepuff who led him here, and on the right is a middle-aged woman whose facial features are quite similar to Professor Hufflepuff. Referring to the information revealed by the professor just now, Cedric understood that this was Professor Hufflepuff who was decades younger.
"This is Sky Island, the gate to Asgard, and the sea under your feet is the North Sea."
"Asgard?!" Cedric also knew something about ancient mythology. He knew that Asgard was the mythical and legendary Æsir realm and the place where the Nordic gods lived.
But isn’t this a Muggle myth and legend? How could this place really exist?
Cedric heard his father say that Muggles and wizards actually lived together before the Secrecy Act was enacted, so there are many creatures and characters in the magical world that exist in Muggle mythology - such as the famous unicorn. and fire dragon. The gods in myths and legends are most likely ancient wizards whose abilities were exaggerated.
But looking at the floating island floating nearly a thousand meters above his feet, Cedric was suddenly shaken by this conjecture: Is it possible for magic to make such a big island float in the air?
Suddenly, there was a burst of thunder in Cedric's ears. He looked up and found that the entire sky suddenly became gloomy. It is somewhat inaccurate to say that the whole sky was because the sky above the island has always been sunny, just like A round white spot appeared on a piece of gray paper.
"The weather here is changed by magic." Hufflepuff's voice came over.
Cedric:! ! !
Do you mean the clear sky above your head, or the endless dark clouds covering the entire sea? It must be the clear sky above our heads, right?
Hufflepuff: Both.
Soon, lightning and thunder rolled in the dark clouds, but then something strange happened: a faint red glow appeared above the dark clouds, as if something was burning on it.
Cedric squinted his eyes for a while, feeling that he must have been dazzled, because he seemed to really see flames in the dark clouds?
This is so nonsense. If this is true, how vast is this sea of fire?
"Isn't it spectacular?" Helga spoke again: "How many times can a person see the beautiful scenery of the sea of burning clouds in a lifetime?"
Cedric: Huh?
"You mean, there is really a sea of fire burning above the clouds?" He felt like he had asked a stupid question.
"That's right. Otherwise, why would the dark clouds turn into fire clouds?"
"How vast is this sea of fire..." Cedric glanced at the distant horizon, which was also dyed red.
He didn't expect a reply, but Helga answered his question anyway.
"I don't know, but it is said that changes in the sky can also be observed in Constantinople."
Cedric was silent. He now somewhat understood what the ultimate form of magic was.
"Look below." Helga pointed to the sea not far away, and then Cedric saw the largest snake he had ever seen in his life. A person in front of it looked like a small flying insect. .
He had no doubt that the snake could wrap itself around the entire Hogwarts castle and turn it into a pile of rocks in one fell swoop.
Soon, the giant snake went crazy, and the waves it rolled up almost touched the clouds in the sky.
"Godric fights in the sky, Salazar fights on the sea."
"What about you?" Cedric asked subconsciously, and then immediately felt that this question was not very polite: because he saw the young Professor Hufflepuff standing on the edge of Sky Island, watching with interest what was happening in front of him. fighting.
It was as if the two people fighting in the sky and on the sea were pure strangers.
"You will know my mission soon." Hufflepuff gave up.
【Mortals, don’t overstep your bounds】
A loud voice sounded in the air, but Cedric didn't understand a word of it. Fortunately, Hufflepuff cast a spell on him in time so that he could understand the "plot" happening here.
The youth version of Hufflepuff, which had been on standby until now, spoke: [Aren't you going to help Jörmungandr and Thor? If they don’t get support anymore, they will die]
[I am ordered to guard the entrance to Asgard and cannot leave without orders]
That voice actually replied to Hufflepuff.
[Okay, I will send you to see them]
Hufflepuff didn't waste any words and said simply.
As soon as she said these words, the light on the island suddenly became stronger. Cedric felt that his eyes were completely white and he couldn't see anything.
He quickly closed his eyes.
