Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

"what is going on?"

Faced with Salazar who broke the casserole and asked for the end, Rowena sighed and asked: "Salazar, have you heard of chain reaction?"

Les:…

"Royna, you must have secretly used the time turner behind our backs." Les said with an extremely certain tone.

Damn it, you've only been out for a long time, how come you already know about the chain reaction? If Rowena hadn't used the time-turner, Rice would have gone to Dumbledore to apply to change his house to Gryffindor on the spot.

Rowena blinked.

"Time is everything, I'm just saving time."

Les sighed again: "Just seek death...remember our agreement!"

Reading a book with a time turner is very Ravenclaw. But just reading is fine.

After complaining about Rowena's behavior, Rice said he had also heard of the chain reaction.

Helga on the side used magic power to slowly draw a question mark in the air.

"The so-called chain reaction means that the result of the reaction is the condition for the next round of reaction, thus forming a continuous chain of reactions." Seeing that Helga seemed to be rowing a lifeboat in the ocean of knowledge, Les changed his explanation: "To put it simply, it's an avalanche, and it's the kind that can't be stopped."

Now Helga understood, and then she realized the seriousness of the problem.

"It's like this. Now the playing field I created is completely out of control, and the alchemical life inside has evolved to a level beyond my control." Rowena also revealed the truth.

Under the influence of the chain reaction, the iteration of alchemical life exceeded Rowena's expectations, so that the alchemical life in the competition venue can not only reproduce on its own as Rowena set, but its strength has also been greatly enhanced. , it has reached the point where Rowena cannot erase them from the outside world.

"Things are very bad. The land has come to life. [The core of the world] even has weak instincts and wills. This caused me to lose control of it. The strength of the life born in it also exceeded my expectations. ——They even have a domain, or the entire land is a domain. "

After listening to everything Rowena explained, Les felt like he wanted to curse.

Rowena, you are such a fucking genius!

Les was very aware of the value of Rowena's experiment. In this experiment, Rowena played the role of the God of Creation, and she really succeeded!

She created a complete microworld, but unfortunately she lost control of the world in the end.

It really amazed Les that her alchemy of life had reached this point.

It also reflected that the dungeon was really boring, so much so that Rowena actually carried out such an amazing experiment in the end.

"I also used some raw materials I collected in the dungeon..." Rowena even explained why her experiment was so successful.

"I really should thank you, thank you for telling the truth." Les issued a conclusion that was so sincere that it seemed to be yin and yang.

If Rowena continues to hide it, he will suffer the consequences when he enters the competition venue, and he may suffer a big loss.

"It should, it should." Rowena, who was asking for help from Salazar, no longer looked as unruly as before and looked much more well-behaved.

She has no choice but to hope that Salazar can help her solve this mess. Otherwise, if she lets that small world continue to develop, who knows what it will become.

"So what do I need to do?" Les was not deceived by Rowena's well-behaved appearance. As an old friend who had been together for a lifetime, he knew Rowena's nature very well.

Apologize seriously and dare to do it next time, that's her style.

Before Rowena could answer, Les started talking to himself.

"You don't want me to destroy the world, do you?" Les rubbed his hands.

If this is the case, can those of my long-sealed experiments be...?

Rowena glanced at Salazar, whose mood suddenly changed, and suddenly understood.

"Well, yes, that's the case. Please Salazar, I need you to destroy the small world you created from the inside." Rowena followed Salazar's words.

Helga on the side frowned slightly: something didn't feel right, and she wanted to wait and see again.

"Actually, this is the same as a domain battle. You need to seize the domain authority of that small world as much as possible. The more you take away, the more the core of the world will be weakened. When it weakens to a certain level, I can start from The outside world has forced a restart on it.”

The restart mentioned by Rowena is to wipe out all the alchemical life in the alchemical world, format the core of the alchemical world, and start everything from scratch.

She did this many times in the dungeon until she got tired of it.

"Seize power?" Les frowned.

"Something similar to a domain. There are some alchemical beings in the small world who have obtained the authority of the world and can expand the domain like the monks of the Secret Order who fused the divine bones. If you kill them, you can reclaim the authority.

There are four types of authority. At first, there was only the authority of the wind attribute. But then the world changed suddenly, and I added a little bit of materials, and the authority of earth, fire, and water were also incorporated in turn. These four elements constitute the core of the world, which in turn disperses the fragments of authority to alchemical life. Salazar, your mission is to reclaim these powers and weaken the power at the core of the world. "

Rowena explained further.

Les thought he got it.

Rowena sighed: "I originally had good intentions and wanted to take the opportunity of this competition to let the children try to learn the flow of magic and get in touch with the mysteries of the field. However, things turned out to be a bit beyond my control."

'This is a bit...' Les complained in his heart.

But after listening to Rowena's account, Les felt that he really had to help out and help Rowena solve the problem.

The loss of control in the alchemy world is secondary. The key is that he can take the opportunity to study something that he cannot usually study.

"It's a deal, I'll go back and make some preparations - you should have explained everything completely, right?"

Rowena nodded repeatedly.

"That's good." Les left Helga's office.

Looking at Les's leaving figure, Helga shook her head secretly. She could see that Salazar seemed to want to do more than just help Rowena solve the problem, but what could she do?

Is it possible to stop him? We still have to count on him to work!

Back in the common room, Les found that the atmosphere here was extremely warm. Many girls from Slytherin House were gathered around Daphne and Astoria, eager to say a few words to them and cheer them up.

This style is very un-Slytherin, but understandable, because Daphne and Greengrass carry the hope of the entire academy.

As for Les, since he usually keeps a low profile and his background is not as prominent as Daphne and others, there are not many people who bother him.

Les was so happy that he took the opportunity to run back to his dormitory.

Since he learned the truth about this competition from Rowena, he was also considering whether to make some preparations.

‘Would you like to wear that staff? ’ A bold idea came to Les’ mind.

He and three other old friends have a magic tool made of the essence of the gods. Les is considering whether to use that thing. The cranial nerve of Jörmungandr is used as the core of the wand, which is bathed in light. A wand made from the mistletoe of the god Baal's blood.

This idea only appeared in his mind for a moment, and then he rejected it: that staff was too dangerous, and he might lose control under its influence. If you lose control in the alchemy world, everything will be over, and the contestants will suffer extensive injuries.

But instead of bringing a staff, you can bring something else. Anyway, Rowena told himself that although the beings in the alchemy world have abilities similar to those in the field, their ability to withstand beatings is still inferior to that of real field wizards.

After making his decision, Les left the dormitory again and went straight to his secret room.

While Les was preparing carefully for the next day's game, Helga welcomed a new guest in her office.

Dumbledore opened the door to Professor White's office.

"Very interesting door knocker." His first words had nothing to do with Gryffindor. Instead, he talked about the door handle of the office.

"Professor Arius did it for me."

Dumbledore's eyebrows twitched: the knocker just now looked like the knocker at the common room door of Ravenclaw Academy.

Except for the different animals, they are exactly the same.

"I'm happy to see you getting along well with your new colleagues."

Helga shook her hand casually. She and Rowena got along well? Well, most of the time, but sometimes she really wanted to strangle the guy to death.

She believed Salazar thought the same way, much more often than she did.

"The Gryffindor who showed up today is really an interesting guy." Helga took the initiative to stir up a topic that Dumbledore was interested in.

"Oh? Professor White, do you think you have any unique insights?" Dumbledore found a chair and sat down, taking over this interesting topic.

"Nothing, I'm just excited to see this legendary wizard with my own eyes. This is the founder of Hogwarts. I've never seen him before."

Dumbledore just nodded and smiled.

"I don't know why he returned to Hogwarts. He can't really lead the team to win the championship, right?" At this point, Helga and Dumbledore laughed together.

Dumbledore felt like he had gotten the answer he wanted. Professor White's attitude towards the man who claimed to be Gryffindor is quite worth pondering.

And she was right, what was the purpose of that person coming back? He had been missing for a thousand years, so why did he appear now?

Can a competition attract him to show up?

The entire Hogwarts was enveloped in an impetuous atmosphere. Dumbledore was chatting with Professor White, the students were discussing the content of the competition and the founder of Hogwarts who appeared, and the independent contestants were touring Hogwarts. Watts, the principals of other schools also have their own arrangements.

Some of them were talking to students from their own schools, while others came to the professors at Hogwarts and tried to get some information about the competition from the professors.

The most special one is undoubtedly Karkaroff.

In the dark underground classroom, Karkaroff blocked the door of the classroom, and Snape stood in front of the material cabinet on the wall of the classroom, sorting out the magic materials needed for class.

Watching Snape slowly straightening the dried nettles one by one, Karkaroff felt the anger in his heart rising.

"Severus, I think the things I want to talk about are more important than collecting potion ingredients. If you need it, I can do it with just a spell -"

"Using magic to move potion materials is a common mistake for beginners. Your spell will interfere with the properties of potion materials. Things worth dozens of Galleons may be destroyed by you."

Karkaroff's tone stagnated, and then his momentum declined a lot.

He said in an almost pleading voice: "Severus, it has been fully activated. You know, he is back."

"But he was beaten away, wasn't he?" Snape became a little impatient.

"Yes, this is why I haven't run away yet, but the mysterious strong man didn't kill him!" Karkaroff was very excited. He was the wizard who wanted Voldemort to die the most, even more eager than most Aurors.

"He hasn't summoned us yet."

"But this may happen at any time-"

"Then run away, I will excuse you, but I want to stay in Hogwarts."

Karkaroff scratched his hair: he felt that he and Snape were on the same rope, both of them betrayed the Dark Lord fiercely, which was why he came to negotiate with Snape.

As a result, judging from Snape's appearance, is he determined to take root in Hogwarts? Yes, there is Dumbledore here, and if he has the conditions, he will make the same choice.

But Karkaroff obviously can't follow Snape's path.

"At worst, you can hide in Durmstrang's castle. It's not so easy for him to find you, and you are not the top priority."

Snape's words made Karkaroff a little tempted. He decided to take the opportunity of the championship to stay in Hogwarts for a while to see if things will turn around - maybe the Dark Lord will be found and killed by the mysterious man?

...

In the impetuous atmosphere, half a day passed quickly.

The next morning, the principals of each school brought their own school students to the Hogwarts Quidditch field. At the same time, there were also hundreds of independent contestants.

Rice and Daphne naturally yawned and walked into the field.

"How are you prepared?"

"A sure win!" Daphne was full of confidence.

"Don't be careless. This competition is not as simple as you think. Bring whatever you have. If you forgot to bring something, you can still go back and get it now."

"All ready!" Daphne patted a small bag on her waist, which was filled with magic props she could collect to assist in the competition.

"That's good." Les nodded, no longer speaking, quietly waiting for other players to enter the venue and the competition officially began.
