Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 296 The World of Peace

Obviously, Akinbad had already guessed that Toby would say this, and he didn't look surprised at all.

"Then hurry up." He urged again: "You don't want me, an old man, to go back hungry, do you? I don't want to miss dinner time. It's also a pleasure to watch those people pretending to greet each other."

From an outsider's point of view, it is hard to imagine that the headmaster of Waggadu would comment on the Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom, as well as Dumbledore.

Few people know that he usually speaks so straightforwardly, and what he usually shows in front of outsiders, Aginbad always looks like a kind and nice gentleman.

But Toby must know him better than those people.

"Fortunately, you said these words in my office." He even seemed to be provocative: "Otherwise, I can't guarantee whether you can return to Ouagadou smoothly."

Regarding this, Aginbad said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I already knew that Dumbledore didn't like me. After all, who would want to let his students seek refuge with outsiders? If Angela did this, I would I will be very upset, I guess I have to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Ms. Maxim."

Orim Maxim is the headmistress of the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, known for her unusually tall stature.

"Believe me, she won't." Toby said as if remembering something: "It's hard for Angela to catch Maxim's eyes. She prefers students who obey the rules."

Akinbad just smiled, and he turned around to look at the sprouting Mason Gate, once again amazed.

It doesn't take much preparation, the only thing worth noting is to let Al guard the gate, so as not to accidentally let outsiders have the opportunity to interfere with the Mason gate.Even this task is much easier now, because almost everyone in the castle has gone to Hogsmeade village to participate in the celebration, and it is estimated that they will not return until evening.

After the oak door opens, revealing a deep vortex inside, that connects to another world.

"I'll go in first." Toby said first, "Then you just follow along."

He threw himself into the interior of the Mason Gate, and it didn't take long, and then Akinbad, who walked into the Mason Gate, saw Toby who had turned into a horned water snake in the ancient magic office in another world.

"So you look like this on the other side of the door." Akinbad said with interest: "No wonder you are willing to deal with me, and you have been unwilling to tell me what your patron saint is."

"The way I am now has nothing to do with the patron saint." Toby denied, and the eyes in the snake's face stared at Akinbad who had just come in: "But you are right about one thing, I am willing to be with someone like you deal, and, if you go to Hogwarts, I'm sure you'd be a very good Slytherin too."

Akinbad has long since ceased to be that amiable little old man, and now he has turned into a rune snake.

But Harry was different, and unlike other rune snakes, his three heads got along much more harmoniously, and the one that just spoke was also the critic's head, but what he said had no meaning of criticism at all.

"Is there no way to hide the true self?" Akinbad gradually understood the function of the Mason Gate. He looked at his body and said: "The patron saint is full of hope, and can only be regarded as a one-sided self, so Nothing to do with who we are now, right?"

Judging from the expression on Toby Snake's face, Aginbad was right.

The patron saint is the extremely beautiful side of the wizard. Of course, it cannot be used to summarize the nature of the wizard, so when wizards enter the Mason Gate, they will become completely different from their own patron saint.

Of course, the same goes for the devil.

Aginbad said to Toby, who was still staring at himself: "You have to understand this. As an old man who has lived for too long, it is normal for some inexplicable thoughts to appear in his mind occasionally. Seriously, it's a miracle I don't have Alzheimer's."

"If you're going to get Alzheimer's, then I'm a prisoner of Azkaban." Toby said a not-so-funny joke.

Although they are both the principals of their respective schools, Toby's attitude towards Akinbad is completely different from Dumbledore's. He is not so restrained, but sometimes what he says is more outrageous.

"There's nothing to see here." Toby turned around and said, "I'll take you around, maybe next time you'll want to see the other side of Waggadu."

Two long snakes slid on the floor, and the sound of scales scraping the floor sounded in the room. Toby skillfully twisted the doorknob with his tail, and appeared together with Akinbad in the extremely wide corridor.

Aginbad understood the reason for this change almost at the first instant—because of the thousand-year-long history, Hogwarts has been condensed together over the years.

"Wagadou is not bad." He said abruptly, and Toby couldn't help laughing, because it was still the snake head that belonged to the critic.

It didn't take long before the carriage pulled by thestrals drove over quietly, and an honest butt ghost was sitting on the front of the car, with a neat and new branch on his head. This scene was no different from before.

The only difference was that the whip Peeves was holding turned into a tiny long snake.

Toby recognized the snake's head as the one that Tom Riddle's diary had transformed into.

It seems that after his head was bitten off, he was picked up by Peeves, but no one knows what happened in the middle.

Now the snake looked dumb, and didn't know whether it was alive or dead. It didn't react at all to the arrival of its two kind.

"Unfamiliar guests." The Sorting Hat looked at Akinbad, and then turned to look at Toby: "And familiar guests who like to disturb people's cleanliness, where are you going?"

Was the Sorting Hat blaming him for trespassing on the Mason Gate last time?
"We." Before Toby finished speaking, Aginbad said in a slow tone: "I'm too old to bear to watch such a cruel scene. Let me say the carriage, let's forget it. Just walk around."

Toby didn't believe Akinbad's nonsense at all.

"Stop joking." He fussed, pointing to Tom Riddle's long snake and said, "Do you really regard him as your own kind?"

"Don't say that." Akinbad finally revealed the truth: "Who knows if this is another trap of yours, I don't want to be used as a whip next time, specially used to drive your carriage. Although I have already lived It's been a long time, but not enough."

This sentence seems more normal.

Toby had no choice but to wave his tail to let the carriage leave. He looked left and right, and a group of giants happened to pass by. While avoiding being stepped on, Toby asked Aginbad: "Then where are you going? Do you want to take a walk around the school?"

"No." Akinbad said, "Take me outside to have a look, the outside world."

it is as expected.

Compared with Hogwarts, what makes Mason Gate even more unusual is that there is a whole magical world behind it, which is completely different from reality.

"Then let's go." Toby just wanted to end this destined short journey as soon as possible.

Along the way, they saw all sorts of weird things, except for the two Quidditch teams that never seemed to stop playing, there was also a group of young house-elves discussing magic with each other, and some of them succeeded occasionally. Will jump for joy.In addition, there is a group of centaurs who are unwilling to move their nests. Even if the giants pass by, they will encounter strong resistance. When Toby and Aginbad pass by, they will stare at them closely. One step would have severely poked a hole in them.

It was hard for Toby, who saw this scene, not to think of House.

Now he finally understands that House has long known the existence of the law of conservation of magic.Due to the fact that there are too many remaining ancient magic items, it is destined to squeeze the living space of today's magical creatures, until one day it can no longer be concealed, and the wizards whose number drops to a dangerous level will start a war.But they do have an excuse to do so, because giants are indeed dangerous, and the goblins have always refused to be honest, always thinking about restoring the glory of the goblin kingdom.

But House knew that the centaurs were powerless against wizards, because they had wands, a force no one could resist.So he simply withdrew from the ranks of the founders, and the only thing left was a small area in the Forbidden Forest, so that his tribe could continue.

This is his warning to future generations.

He knew that wizard supremacy was bound to come, and pure-blood supremacy he had already seen in Salazar Slytherin.

It seems like a puzzle that can never be solved, just repeated from generation to generation.

Perhaps one day wizards will hunt down Muggle-borns and turn them into devils again.

No one could say for sure, not even Toby could deny the possibility.

"You seem to have something on your mind." Aginbad said abruptly.

Now that they have left the castle, they came to the wide black lake that looks like a sea, and they can vaguely see some giant creature swaying in the misty distance. It is a giant squid in the black lake, and it is also because of The reason for the blessing of history has become extremely huge, perhaps even bigger than the real Hogwarts Castle.

Toby controls a stone to fly up and throws it in the opposite direction of the giant squid.It can be seen that the nature of the giant squid has not changed much. It quickly fell in love with this game. It used its tentacles to repeatedly throw back the stones thrown by Toby, and made a small deep hole in the grass. Like a cannonball.

"This is really a good way to die together." Akinbad commented.

Toby patted the end of his tail, and he swam over to a gigantic oak tree by the Black Lake, staring at the human-sized Bowtruckles, who were trying to tend to this amazingly large tree.

"I just remembered the time when Angela and I first met you."

Toby was talking nonsense, and Akinbad obviously knew this, but he still responded patiently: "I remember it too. At that time, I thought you were Angela's life and death enemy, and she wanted to kill you , who else is here? Oh, by the way, it's Al, your strange assistant."

"Because I kicked her, Al also snatched her things." Toby laughed and said, "Compared with my many archaeological experiences, this is nothing worth mentioning, but it is The longest one ever."

Akinbad looked up at the strange scene in the sky - there was no sun, only a pair of clocks emitting dazzling light.

Toby had explained to him that he had to get back to the castle before the pointer pointed to the moon, or something very bad would happen.

"It's good to be young." He sighed: "There is love, there is hatred, there is impulsiveness and forgiveness."

"Huh?" Toby looked at him strangely, and the expression on the snake's face was dull.

"Did I get it wrong?" Aginbad asked, "Didn't Al steal the wedding ring you gave Angela?"

He didn't know about the scepter, and under Toby's instructions, Angela kept it a secret.Moreover, Toby never disclosed to others the reason why Angela was so obsessed with the scepter.

"Why do everyone think so?" Toby asked puzzled, "Don't you have anything else to do besides dating?"

"To be honest." Akinbad said regretfully, "I know that ancient magic will affect you, but I didn't expect it to affect you so deeply. Haven't you noticed something wrong with yourself?"

"That's what you mean?" Toby asked curiously, "Is it the occasional sudden madness, or is it more than Slytherin—"

"Be more Slytherin." Aginbad added what Toby wanted to say with a blank face: "Don't you have anything else to say? Why do you always hold on to Slytherin? Even I can't bear it." I can’t help feeling sorry for your founder.”

"He doesn't need your pity." Toby said disdainfully: "That old guy is a lunatic, a pervert with a twisted mind. He might even think of killing people like me."

"But why, Toby." Aginbad asked abruptly, "Since you don't like Slytherin, why are you proud of this academy?"

"Actually, I also thought about turning this college into Haimer College when I had the chance." Toby said surprisingly: "I can't help thinking about it ever since I knew there was such a spell as the Forgetting Curse, but Later, I found that there were too many targets that needed to cast magic, so I had to give up."

"Let's see who is more dangerous at Hogwarts." Aginbad said, shaking his head.

Once the topic mentioned Dumbledore, Toby was speechless instead.

"It seems that you have conflicts." Akinbad sharply pointed out, "And the conflicts are deep, too deep to be resolved. Do you need my help? The name of Waggadu's principal is still useful."

"No need." Toby said boringly: "It's time to go back, Principal Akinbad."

"Otherwise it won't be a peaceful world."
