Chapter 385 The World's Strongest Magic Array: The Magic Tent (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)

"What an amazing power..." Les clenched his fist. He now even had a feeling that he could fight against a wizard with a domain without opening his domain.

Because at this moment the magic power in his body has been filled to the extreme, it is like an entire field is contained in his body.

Helga also drank her share of the wine, and a blush appeared on her face.

After enduring a moment of emotional shock, Helga also absorbed the energy in the wine. The abnormal red on her face turned into a healthy rosy red, and even the wrinkles on her skin were eliminated a little.

"I feel like this sip of wine can keep me alive for several more months." After burying her surging emotions deep in her heart, Helga joked to Les.

"Then this is simply the most luxurious elixir of immortality in the world."

"It's a pity that the gods in this world have become extinct, and the speed of this transformation is too slow."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's get going. If I don't move around, I feel like I'm going to burst from the magic power." Les stood up and walked out the door first.

"By the way, do we need to notify Dumbledore?" Helga thought of the nominal principal of the school.

If they modify the school's protective magic, it will surely alarm the principal, right? It is better to explain it first, so as not to scare him.

Rice naturally had no objection, he just told Helga not to let Dumbledore know that he was involved in this matter. If Dumbledore wanted to help, Helga would also find a way to keep him out of it.

"Even today, you still don't want him to know your existence?" Helga asked with a smile.

"It's too early." Rice felt that it was a fantasy to expect a headmaster from Gryffindor to trust him. Once his identity was revealed, his situation in school would be much more difficult. Dumbledore also had his own domain.

"You have to be considerate of me. After all, you are a Hufflepuff, and I am a Slytherin, and Dumbledore is from Gryffindor."

"I don't think he's as narrow-minded as you say." Hufflepuff muttered quietly, but Rice just shook his head and didn't respond.

"Okay." Since Salazar insisted, Helga didn't try to persuade him anymore.

She quickly rushed to the headmaster's office and met with Dumbledore again.

Although he was a little surprised that "Professor White" came to visit him for the second time in a short period of time, Dumbledore still politely asked her to sit down and chat slowly.

At the same time, the fluctuations emanating from her also made Dumbledore secretly shocked: it seemed that after just a short moment of not seeing her, a great change had taken place in this professor.

"No need." Helga declined his kindness and told Dumbledore the purpose of her visit again.

"Do you need help?" After listening to Professor White's ideas, Dumbledore did not hesitate and asked directly if he could help.

In his opinion, it was great that Professor White was interested in renovating the school's defensive magic. No one was more suitable for this job than her. Even if she didn't mention it, he planned to hint at her in the future. Of course, if Professor White didn't exist, Dumbledore would also find a way to strengthen the defensive magic himself, all in preparation for the future.

"I'm afraid you can't," Helga said truthfully, a heart-wrenching statement.

Indeed, the magic system that Dumbledore mastered was incompatible with her and Salazar. Not to mention the issue of how Salazar would cope after he passed away, the conflict between the three systems alone was enough for them to bear.

"Ah, I see." Dumbledore was not surprised at all. He sat back in his chair and wished Professor White success.

After Professor White left the office, Dumbledore fell into deep thought: she had not been away from her office for long, and then she had a new idea. It seemed that she had discussed it with others, which was interesting...

However, Dumbledore had no intention of digging into the truth. In his opinion, everyone had their own secrets, and rashly pursuing the truth would probably only bring negative consequences.

Professor White was someone he could trust completely, and Dumbledore believed that when the right time came, she would tell him all the truth.

While Dumbledore was thinking, the defensive magic of Hogwarts had been quietly activated. A transparent membrane covered the school castle, the lawns and greenhouses outside the school, and spread to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

This was the protection area that Salazar and the other three had defined for the school.

Arriving at the school gate, which was the starting point of the protective magic, Helga found that Salazar was already waiting there.

"Let's start." Les didn't say much, just pulled out his wand, and Helga also took out her wand.

Magic power was infused into the eyes of the two men, and the world before their eyes changed: the sky above Hogwarts was covered with a translucent film covered with runes.

"The magic system of the Norse gods is really useful. Unfortunately, the children of later generations were not able to learn their magic. In the end, only the runes were passed down."

"They haven't even preserved the wizards' own heritage completely, so how can we expect them to understand the spell systems of the Nordic gods?"

"Don't say that. The knowledge of magic flow was simply eliminated in the succession and innovation of magic. But no one could have imagined that not learning magic flow would lead to the loss of this unique skill. This is very helpless."

Les and Helga chatted for a while, then began to update the defensive magic.

But it’s more about adding new features than updating them.

The two of them first worked together to add a new layer of protection on top of the original magic protection shield, and then began to engrave magic words on it.

With the efforts of the two, runes began to appear one after another on the protective shield.

"Sabotage warning, plus."

"Hide, add."

"Automatically draw magic power, add."

"..."

Soon, Les and Helga added some basic functions to the protective shield.

"What do you mean? How do you want it to look to the outside world?" Les asked Helga for her opinion.

"Let's make it the same as it was when we first came here? The calm lake, the thin mist, and the barren grass, as if Hogwarts had never existed."

Memories came flooding back as Les thought back to the day Rowena had brought them here.

[“Hey, Helga, I had a strange dream last night!”

"Dream? Wizards don't dream for no reason - Rowena, would you like a bottle of calming potion? I also have an exorcism potion, which I recently developed -"

"Salazar, shut up!" Rowena scolded Slytherin and told him to give up the idea of ​​feeding her strange potions, then told her friends about her dream last night.

A warthog led her to an open area with a perfect terrain. If there really was such a place, she would definitely consider it as the site of Hogwarts.

"Royner, you must have been obsessed with choosing a location for the school these days. It's normal to think about it during the day and dream about it at night." Godric smiled. In his opinion, this situation was normal.

When he was quitting drinking, he often dreamed of strange little animals taking him to dead trees in the forest to look for wine brewed by various animals.

"Indeed." Rowena chose to believe what Godric said - otherwise she would have to taste Salazar's strange potion.

The four of them packed up last night's campsite and then set off.

Not long after walking, Rowena's brows began to frown: these places looked quite familiar, as if they were the places where she had followed the warthog in her dream before.

"Let's go this way." When passing a familiar fork in the road, Rowena somehow chose the road she had taken in her dream last night.

The further they walked, the quieter Rowena became and the faster her steps became.

The three friends didn't quite understand why, but they followed her spontaneously.

A few minutes later, the four of them passed through a forest and came to a lake. Rowena was stunned where she was - this was exactly the same scene she had seen in her dream.

"This place looks pretty good. Do you think we can locate the school here?"

"Would you like to go somewhere else?"

"Royna, how does this place compare to the place you dreamed of? Hey, why are you silent?"

Rowena:…

She told her friends about the incident.

"Ah?" The three of them exclaimed in unison, and all three of them stood there in a daze.

"Salazar, I heard that you have developed a potion for exorcism?" Rowena asked softly, looking at the cliffs on the other side of the lake.

"Yeah." Slytherin nodded woodenly and responded subconsciously: "I'll make it for you later."

The location of Hogwarts was determined in this slightly funny scene.

Thinking of this, Les remembered a rumor that was widely circulated in Slytherin House: Hogwarts Castle was the property of Salazar Slytherin - the deed to the school castle was hidden in the principal's office.

When he heard the rumor, he was completely shocked.

Hogwarts Castle was built by the four of them and several students they had previously admitted, and it does not have a clear owner.

Besides, if he really had such a castle in a perfect location, why would he just sit there and watch his old friends running around Britain? You know, they almost decided to build a super ship as their magic school. They could let the ship drift around the world and search for young wizards with magical talents to learn magic on board.

This rumor was probably spread by the descendants of Slytherin to flatter themselves, right? It would only make people who know the history of Hogwarts laugh.

"Salazar, is there any problem?" Helga's voice came into his ears, bringing Les' attention back to reality.

"Nothing." Les shook his head, pushed those chaotic memories deep into his mind, and then began to carefully outline the magic runes on the protective shield.

One rune after another fell on the surface of the protective shield, and Les's memories of that morning were replayed bit by bit.

As the magic power was consumed, the new layer of protective shield was gradually covered with magic runes. Fine beads of sweat began to appear on Les's forehead. His hair was tied into wisps due to sweat, and the back of his robe was also soaked with sweat.

Helga stood aside, helping her old friend, repairing some magic runes that he had not carved well, and correcting some obvious mistakes.

As the sun was about to set, Rice drew the last rune on the gate facing him. The next moment, the entire magic circle lit up, and Hogwarts became dark in an instant, and then returned to normal.

The students in the castle noticed something was wrong and crowded to the window, but the sunset outside the window remained the same. The little wizards rubbed their eyes, but the sunset remained the same.

"Did it just flash?"

"Yes, I am sure..."

The young wizards talked about it, but they couldn't explain it. Not only the students, but also the professors who noticed the strange phenomenon were puzzled. Only Dumbledore, who was sitting in front of the window of the principal's office, understood what happened.

'Professor White, it worked.'

In addition to Dumbledore, Daphne and several other young wizards who understood the flow of magic also felt that something was wrong.

"There seemed to be a very strong magical fluctuation just now..."

“The coverage is very broad and seems to include the entire school.”

"Is this the teacher's work?" Cedric looked out the window. He poured magic power into his eyes as the teacher taught him, and then the dense magic runes in the sky appeared in his eyes.

The magic runes flickered a few times and then gradually faded away, but Cedric knew very well that they were still looming over the school, but now they were hidden.

"Digory, the sun seemed to flash just now?" A friend's voice came from the side.

"It seems to be true, I don't know what's going on. Maybe in the next astronomy class, we can ask Professor Sinistra what astronomical phenomenon this is." Although he understood it better than most people, Cedric still chose to hide it.

"If the students knew that Hogwarts was covered by a bunch of strange runes, they would definitely panic, right? But as long as the teachers and Professor Dumbledore are here, it won't be a big problem."

"Let's go to the auditorium first. There will be more people here soon." He put a gentle smile on his face and said in a reassuring voice.

"You're right!" His friend's attention was indeed diverted, and he strode towards the auditorium.

Cedric smiled and shook his head, then quickly followed.

This is what Hufflepuff students are like. Even if the sky is falling, they have to eat first, right?

Outside the gate of Hogwarts, Les looked at the empty lakeside grass in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: Helga, our magic circle was successfully made.

"Whether it's sound, light, or even heat, it's all perfect. No matter wizards or Muggles, no one can see Hogwarts when the magic circle is opened. I believe it is the most powerful magic circle in the world today, and it can be compared to the magic circle that concealed the entrance to Asgard back then." Rice said proudly.
