Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 438 Devil
437 Devil
After the mason tree, the mason gate, Toby has once again become a thing.

a brain.

At this time, Toby didn't need to be reminded by others, and he realized what kind of brain he had become.

Merlin.

He made his own brain into a magic ball to protect the residents of the city of Loch Ness.

Andros' doubts immediately caught the young boy's attention.

Not only him, everyone present became tense.

"Don't you know this gentleman? Where are you from?"

At this time, the youngest boy at the end of the line said in surprise: "It's the 78th grade, we finally have a newcomer, and I'm no longer the youngest one—ah, sorry, it shouldn't be anything Something to celebrate."

These words quickly ignited the atmosphere in the square, and people gathered around one after another, asking how Andros came here and what changes had taken place in the outside world.

"How did I get here?"

Andros didn't seem to know what concealment was, and he didn't know that he was in an extremely weird atmosphere.

"I found the treasure left by Merlin. It was a tree with a door matured, so I came here through that door—how about you? Have you all found Merlin's treasure? I thought it would be difficult."

【Andros is more troublesome than Hagrid.At least Hagrid knew when to lie, although it was obvious when he did. 】

As Toby expected, the smiles on people's faces disappeared after listening to Andros' words.

The boy in charge of the interview said in a panic: "You are lying, aren't you? You deliberately teased us, didn't you? Why is it the treasure left by Mr. Merlin? And that tree. I remember that tree was specially Watcher, haven't you seen the guard?"

"No." Andros shook his head honestly: "If there is, I will definitely find out, but no one came out to stop me until I left."

"how so."

"What the hell is going on outside?"

"Muggle-born, did we lose in the end?"

Seeing that the people in the square were getting more and more flustered, Andros asked puzzledly, "Why do you mention Muggle-borns? I am also a Muggle-born, and the outside world didn't do anything to me. What are you worried about?"

"Are you a Muggle-born?!" The boy in charge of the interview grabbed Andros's arm, but the moment he touched Andros, his palm groaned as if it had been scalded. sound.

"I'm a Muggle-born, that's right." Andros reminded kindly: "But shouldn't you let go of your hand first? Your hand is about to be burned through by me-no, why can the Patronus hurt you?" To you? You don't look like a dementor, are you a dark creature? I've never seen such a normal dark creature like you, a werewolf, or a vampire?"

[Is it the patron saint of Animagus?Even without knowing this magic, Andros relies on his unusual Patronus to achieve a similar effect, so he can harm the residents of the city in the world behind the door. 】

Toby sighed with Andros' amazing magical talent in his heart.

At the same time, he finally understood why there were normal residents in the world behind the door.

"We...we are the devil."

The boy in charge of the interview said sadly: "It was a devil who was persecuted by pure-blood wizards. Mr. Merlin saved us. He found us one by one, and at the last moment before he died, he turned most of our bodies into demons. That tree, the fruit that bears on it—that is, the door you discovered, is the passage used to place us here."

"Only in the world behind the door, and only when the fruit ripens the only day of the year, can we live here normally."

"This brain is Mr. Merlin's brain. It is responsible for transmitting information to the outside world and protecting us. Mr. Merlin has dedicated everything to us. I heard that there is still a spine, but I am not sure about that thing."

[Unimaginable feat—Merlin turned his body into a mason tree, his heart into a seed, his spine into a scepter, and his brain into a magic ball. I'm still far behind him, just half a devil, All that is missing is the Patronus. 】

Toby silently compared himself with Merlin, and also thought about how he could be used.

He was ready to become Merlin, after all, what he had to do was much more difficult than simply protecting Muggle-borns.

In fact, Toby has already tried once, but Merlin, who has become the god of death, rejected Toby's request.

what a pity.

"Is this Merlin's brain?"

Andros stared at "Toby" in surprise; "It turns out that what I found before was Merlin's body. Is this the instinct of Master Merlin? It looks much cooler than the slightly bigger Patronus."

"But what are you going to do?"

Andros looked at them and said, "Although I don't understand what a devil is, I guess you probably don't want to become like this. Is there any way to restore you to normal?"

The atmosphere in the square fell silent.

"No?" Andros said disappointedly: "This is also because of the law of conservation of magic? That's why this form of magic becomes irreversible. It's difficult."

"correct."

Andros remembered the reason why he broke into the door, and he hurriedly asked: "Then do you have a solution to the law of conservation of magic? Did Merlin leave anything for you? Books or word-of-mouth information is also fine. .”

Several "old men" in the second grade exchanged glances with each other.

The oldest person among them stood up and said: "To be honest, we don't know what to do now. Listening to you, the outside world seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes. At least the war is over, otherwise you won't Don't know who we are."

"However, since you know the law of conservation of magic, you might as well ask the only first-year senior—that is, Mr. Merlin's brain, to see if it is willing to communicate with you."

"What should I do?" Andros asked.

"Put your palm on it, and it's up to your own."

Andros hardly hesitated, he immediately pressed his glowing palm on "Toby".

Almost at the same time, a wonderful feeling came to Toby.

He continued to experience this feeling, his vision gradually narrowed, his body gradually recovered, and his limbs actually appeared in his perception.

Eventually, out of nowhere, Toby finds a brain appearing in front of his eyes—this is what he had become before.

But now, he has become Andros.

Without thinking, Toby knew what he should do at this time.

The tone of Merlin's voice sounded from his mouth, as if he had become the kind-hearted old man.

"This visitor has passed the test."

Toby manipulated Andros's body and said: "I need to let him take me out to see for myself what the outside world has become, and then come back and tell you the answer."

Everyone was stunned, and the residents turned their attention to the oldest "old man" in the second grade.

"Mr. Merlin, is it really you? We—"

"We don't have time." Toby interrupted: "The threat still exists, and I will solve the threat before I can guarantee your safety."

"In the world outside the door, there is an evil guy staring at us, and he must be killed."

After Toby finished speaking, the body of Andros he controlled rushed up the lake, and at the same time took Merlin's brain with him-because he was not sure that when Andros let go of the brain, Will you lose your ability to move freely?

A guess appeared in his mind.

He planned to kill Hai Erbo with his own hands as soon as he got out.

He had a feeling that he was not just observing Andros' memory.

He really has the power to change all that.
-
No one dared to stop "Merlin" who was about to leave. He has the supreme status here and is the object of everyone's reverence.

They watched Andros leave with the brain, disappearing little by little at the end of their eyes.

On the sandy beach on the surface of the lake, Toby found the exit of the Mason Gate.

He opened the door and walked in with his heart in his hands.

After opening his eyes again, Toby saw that Haierbo was waiting impatiently outside, and beside him lay a baby water ghost in the shape of a horse that was constantly twitching.

"I've prepared the afternoon tea." Haierbo kicked the cub twice: "Did you find anything inside? What did you bring back? Why...why is it a flame?"

Toby immediately looked at his palm.

Originally, Merlin's brain was gone, and it turned into a flame that was very familiar to Toby - it was the flame in the Goblet of Fire.

[Is it because of this?The flame used to be a part of Merlin's body, which was originally his brain, so that's why he had the ability to finally wake Merlin last semester? 】

[Is it the same for other things?The scepter and Merlin's heart. 】

The abnormality in his mind was well hidden by Toby. He imitated Andros' previous tone and said: "A little discovery, can you believe it? It turned out to be a magical plant that grew on seaweed. "

He lost interest as soon as he heard about the plant Haierbo, which is a unique hobby of Andros.

He kicked the cub again and said, "Then let's go in and have a look next time. I'm going to light the fire now, and the afternoon tea will be ready soon."

Toby stared at the kelpie, whose twitching movements were getting smaller and smaller.

He knew that Haierbo had stuffed the poison into its stomach, and he was waiting to eat it himself.

But Toby didn't stop Haierbo immediately, he quietly clenched the wand in his pocket.

The moment Haierbo turned around, he suddenly pulled out his wand and shouted, "Avada Kedavra!"

The green light shot out from the tip of the wand, and hit Haierbo's body accurately, making him unable to even cry out, and fell straight down.

Toby walked over with the flame in one hand and his wand in the other.

He lightly kicked Haierbo twice, just like what Haierbo did to the horse-shaped water ghost before.

he died.

Toby squatted down, he began to search Haierbo's pocket, and soon found another small bottle of potion, which was only enough for one person to drink.

This should be the antidote to the poison. Haierbo was ready to eat the water monster with Andros, but he kept the antidote for himself.

After finding the antidote, Toby poured the potion in the bottle into the horse-shaped water monster's mouth, then grabbed its neck and shook it vigorously, so that the horse-shaped water monster's body turned into a parabola and fell into Loch Ness.

【It turns out that I am the creator of the water monster, or the one in the real world is its descendant】

After finishing this, Toby turned around, and he looked at Haierbo's body.

All this happened too easily.

Even though he knew it was because he had prepared ahead of time, it was still too easy.

[In the world after I go back, will Hai Erbo die because of this? But I clearly remember that Hai Erbo said that he carried out the attack after Andros came out of the Mason Gate. Why is it different from what he said? ? 】

【Did I succeed in changing the past? 】

Just as Toby continued to analyze the situation, the Mason door behind him opened again.

"Mr. Merlin?"

A small head poked out quietly. Toby immediately looked back and found that it was the youngest boy in the 77th grade.

"I ran out secretly." He said guiltily, "I've waited too long, and I'm fed up with the boring life inside the door every day—but don't worry, I put the magic in the house I have memorized the formation and painted it on the clothes, that can restrain the devil, right?"

Toby's eyes froze, and he watched wisps of black mist flash across the boy's eyes.

He sighed deeply.

"What's your name?"

"My name is... My name is Hai Erbo, sir. My name is Hai Erbo."
-
The line of sight began to change again, and Toby found himself in mid-air, with another figure floating beside him——Andros.

On the ground, the boy turned into a devil uncontrollably, he wrestled with Andros, and finally ended with Andros' escape.

Before leaving, Andros took the Mason Gate away, and the flame in his hand became less bright.

The devil inhabited another Haierbo's body, and his dwarf-like body began to change, and finally turned into a little boy's adult appearance.

Toby had seen Haierbo like this before.

That's what he showed when he met old Tom.

Andros spoke.

"The moment I touched Merlin's brain, I knew a prophecy that I couldn't escape—so I personally killed Haierbo after I came out, but I still couldn't escape this ending."

"As you can see, Merlin's brain fulfilled the boy's wish. It was only later that I learned that this required the presence of at least three people to make it happen—except me and him, and you, the prophecy, are also here. "

"Three people are enough, and the two Haierbos are combined to become a brand new Haierbo."

Toby stared at the man on the ground and stood up, and he disappeared in the other direction Andros left without looking back.

"Why am I alone?" Toby turned to look at Andros and asked, "Is this not just your memory? If so, the future me cannot appear in this time. Merlin's brain Not a time-turner."

"You already guessed it, didn't you?" Andros whispered: "The Time-Turner has its own principles. Some things can transcend this rule-especially the connection between emotions."

"In the temple, you, Angela, and Al, turned into half devils again through the Goblet of Fire—and that was with me present. Both the flames and our devils are enough to surpass Such rules."

"You were there, Toby, in a special way."

"You witnessed the birth of Haierbo with your own eyes."
