Chapter 157 Kill the Demons on Horseback

The monster struggled hard, and you could see that the vines on the ground were broken one by one, but at this time Evans also changed his strategy. He waved his wand, and vines grew on the surrounding seats, floor, ceiling and luggage rack. The vines inserted into the bones of the skeleton, locking it completely.

Next, he tried a series of spells on the skeleton: explosion spell, cutting spell, separation spell and even disappearance spell, but none of them could cause actual damage to the skeleton, which made both Tom and Dumbledore frown.

At this time, the noise outside the carriage gradually became louder. Evans sighed, grabbed one of the skeleton's arms, and disappeared like a phantom. The messy carriage dissipated like smoke, and everything gradually disappeared. Tom could only see himself and Dumbledore - everything else was lost in the swirling darkness.

Then, a new scene emerged.

This time he and Dumbledore should be in Evans' laboratory. The skeleton was being firmly tied to a platform, and the flames in its eyes had dimmed a lot.

Evans walked to the wall on the left side of the room, and Tom noticed that there was a blackboard hanging there with a few lines of words written on it:

Natural consumption (very slow)

Repeatedly crushing bones accelerates energy consumption (do I consume it faster or the skeleton consumes it faster)

Power with divine blessing (phoenix blood, weapons made by fairies - doubtful)

With the power of a curse (Unicorn Blood Curse)

It seems that Evans's research on how to destroy the skeleton not only found a method, but also made his own comments.

Tom looked at Professor Dumbledore. Dumbledore was silent for a second, "I'll look for Fawkes later."

"That's great." Tom himself also had his own plans. He still had blood left behind by the unicorn that Voldemort had hunted in the Forbidden Forest, which he could use just in time.

Evans began to take out strange tools and magic spells again, and conducted experimental tests on the skeleton on the table again and again. In the next experiment, he gained nothing. But before the memory ended, he took down a "Short Collection of Celtic History" and a "Life of Caesar" from his bookshelf.

Dumbledore stretched out his hand to support Tom's elbow, and the scene in the laboratory quickly dissipated. Darkness swallowed everything. Tom and Dumbledore slowly rose into the air, slowly turned somersaults, and started again. fell to the ground. Tom was in Dumbledore's office again. Nothing seems to have changed in the office, but it seems a little different. The pensieve gleamed before him, and Professor Dumbledore stood beside him.

After landing, Tom told Dumbledore his inner doubts: What kind of power can kill a person and turn his body into a crazy monster after death.

Dumbledore put the gold coin from Caesar's era on his desk. He looked at the gold coin and thought of the Celtic words the fat man shouted before. The fog of history was gradually lifted before his eyes. , he had a guess.

"Do you know the history of Celtic?" Dumbledore found a seat in the laboratory and motioned for Tom to sit next to him.

"The Celts have a very long and glorious history. They have a highly developed civilization, and their magic level is also first-rate. However, from the 2nd to the 1st century BC, the expansion of Roman civilization severely damaged this nation. Caesar was in AD In 57 BC it was declared that the vast majority of Gauls had become subjects of the Roman Empire."

"The remaining Gauls united for their own freedom and launched a desperate battle with the Roman Empire. Fifty thousand Gauls were besieged by more than 100,000 Romans in Alesia. In the end, the leader of the Gauls, Vercingetor, Lyx surrendered to the Romans.”

"The words that the man just shouted came from this battle. Vercingetorix put on the most exquisite robes and surrendered to Caesar, the highest military commander of the Romans. Six years later, he was like an animal He was displayed in a triumphal ceremony by the Romans and eventually hanged.”

Dumbledore told Tom a historical story that seemed to have nothing to do with what had just happened on the train. Tom was stunned: the story Dumbledore told must be true, so there is a high probability that the gold coin -

"The curse of the Celts..." Dumbledore sighed. In any case, what Caesar did was not authentic enough.

Dumbledore was silent for a while, then took out his wand and pulled out a piece of memory from his temple. He watched his memory sink to the bottom of his basin, then sighed.

"A troubled time..."

An eventful time indeed! The secret room has just been opened and one person was hospitalized. Now the Celtic curse is gradually getting rid of its shackles and reappearing in front of the world.

"It looks like we need to investigate something." Dumbledore made up his mind. Of course, he put him on the team without asking Professor Lockhart for his opinion. Do you want to work as a warehouse manager comfortably in a warehouse? What a beautiful thought! Be obedient and join the team to explore the big world!

[Trigger mission: Kill the demons on horseback (Prologue)

Mission goal: Follow and assist Dumbledore in investigating the "luxury train attack"]

Tom also received the task of system release.

Of course, even if he is just an auxiliary tool and wants to join the team, he must first be upgraded, equipped with a set of holy relics, upgraded with ultimate moves and skills, and finally equipped with a weapon. Dumbledore was not the kind of shady boss who wanted the horse to run without feeding it. He took Tom straight to his office.

Only the principal's office was empty and silent.

…

Even though it was Saturday, Harry Potter was still in a bad mood, and he sighed thoughtfully.

"Harry, let me tell you, you really don't need to worry, maybe some ghost did it." Ron held a bag of sandwiches and finger biscuits and ate them with relish. He and Harry had spent the whole day in the library, causing them to miss lunch. However, Ron's brother Fred disappeared for a short time after hearing about this, and then returned with a large bag of food.

"There will never be hunger at Hogwarts." These were the words he left behind, but Fred refused to tell Ron where he got the bag of food.

"But why?" Harry was a little confused. "Why did the ghost lead me to the murder scene? And why me?" Still puzzled, he also reached into Ron's bag and took a bag from it. Only grilled chicken legs come out.

On the day of the secret room attack, he heard strange noises. That voice led him to the scene of the secret room attack. Since that day, this incident has become a knot in Harry's mind. He had been trying to figure out what that sound was and why he could hear it.
