Chapter 258 Success and preparation

PreviousBack to directoryNext
During the long and anxious waiting period.

The time finally came when Nico Flamel and Dumbledore came to Salisbury Plain.

Maybe it's because things turn against each other when things go to extremes, so Kassandra, who couldn't sit still, also squeezed into the sofa with Luna.

The two of them touched their heads and pressed against each other.

Luna stared at the cross in front of her in a daze, while Cassandra had a trace of crystal liquid hanging from the corner of her mouth.

"Why?!"

Luna suddenly exclaimed with excitement.

"What happened!"

Cassandra was disturbed and woke up from her dream, opened her emerald eyes and yelled randomly.

"Xifa has broken the seal! Let's start work quickly!"

Luna jumped off the sofa, moved her stiff limbs and joints, and asked Cassandra to start working.

Cassandra also woke up at this time. She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and immediately joined the action.

She's so soft and boneless that she doesn't need to warm up!

"correct."

After moving Elise into the silver bucket that she had prepared earlier, Luna patted her head and came to the portrait on the desk.

"Ariana..."

Following Luna's soft call, the girl who was sleeping lightly in the portrait slowly opened her eyes.

"The seal has been lifted! We are going to start removing the parasitic demon from Elise!"

Ariana in the painting did not reply verbally, she just nodded slightly.

Then he opened a wooden door next to the painting, got inside and disappeared.

After sending Ariana away, Cassandra also took off her coat for Elise, who was like a plastic model.

Luna stepped forward and released the physical guardian spirit with her.

Under the guidance of Lady Diana, the demon eggs in Elise's body were removed step by step.

At some unknown time, Ariana, who had left the wooden door in the painting, came back again. She quietly looked at the busy figures of Luna and Cassandra on the side, with an obvious smile on her lips.

It seems that she is very happy when she does something for her eldest brother.

Dumbledore, who was looking down at his pocket watch, was in a daze.

Suddenly, the girl he longed for appeared in the portrait.

The girl didn't speak, she just smiled and nodded at him.

He was shaking with excitement.

"Nico... let's get started..."

Dumbledore looked excited until the girl Ariana disappeared from the portrait, then he stabilized himself and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Okay!" Nico Flamel replied concisely and concisely.

Ariana's death may have been its plan, otherwise Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore would have joined forces, and this era might have been changed by them.

On the day Xifa was born, I witnessed the change with my own eyes.

Although I was driven out of the tomb by the two of them at the time, I didn't know what they discussed afterward. But after living for so many years, it is normal to make guesses based on experience.

The one who manipulated Grindelwald was the culprit that caused Dumbledore's tragedy in his life.

Now, Dumbledore wants to intervene in its plan and complete part of his revenge!

Soon, a silver-white hexagram formation appeared in the sky over Salisbury Plain.

A virtual frame building full of Gothic style slowly appeared.

In this dark night sky, it looks like a small sun.

But because of the little tricks of two top wizards.

The residents nearby expressed indifference to this miracle.

On the battlefields of Europe, blood and flesh are flying everywhere.

Smoke and war shrouded the border between Germany and France.

The soldiers here don't know.

On Salisbury Plain on the Scottish island across the English Channel.

Two great wizards who should lead them to 'victory' are quietly collecting their souls.

The Alps, in the nameless valley.

A small mechanical clock is keeping silent by the lake where Xifa has dived.

Suddenly, the lake made waves, and a figure emerged from the water, and then he swam to the shore with difficulty.

He turned over and gasped for air.

"Merlin, I must be crazy. Just because you handed me this scepter, I believed you and took you out of the sealed place!"

After the words fell, I saw a golden scepter about ten centimeters long on Xifa's waist trembling slightly, and then the bright blue gem on the top glowed for me.

Merlin's ghost slowly emerged in the sky against the backdrop of light.

"I am also crazy, and I decided to change my destiny."

As soon as Merlin appeared, he laughed at himself.

"I didn't expect that when I brought you out, the altar would swallow up so much of my magic power!"

Xifa struggled for a moment, trying to sit up, but finally gave up.

He just lay there and reached into his pocket, trying to take out a potion that could replenish his physical strength.

"Haha——" Merlin snorted lightly. "The magic power was not brought out by me, but left behind to maintain the stability of the magic circle."

"Ah?" Xifa, who was about to pour the energy potion into his mouth, couldn't help but uttered in surprise.

"When the magic power you left behind disappears, if I don't return to the sealed place, then I will be sealed in the scepter and sleep." Merlin explained.

"That's okay. I have half a day after all. Where do you want to go first?"

After drinking the energy potion, Xifa regained a little strength. He got up from the ground and looked around.

"I don't know, but I want to go to the battlefield!" Merlin said with a melancholy expression.

But Xifa ignored him for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Merlin floated to Xifa and asked.

"Something's wrong..." Xifa muttered, then he leaned down and took the motionless mechanical watch on the ground into his hand.

Check it...it's not damaged, it's because the mainspring has run out.

"Merlin! How come three days have passed since I went to the Sealed Land?" Xifa, who was a little panicked when he thought there was a tool man beside him, quickly asked in a low voice.

"This..." Merlin frowned, his scepter glowing all over.

After a while, Xifa felt that an invisible shackle seemed to be lifted from his body.

The severed connections around the body are reconnected.

There was no time to experience it in detail.

"Click——"

It was the sound of the resonance ball on my waist breaking.

Elise is cured!

Seeing this, Xifa breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The biggest purpose of this trip has been achieved, but I don’t know exactly how. I really want to go back as soon as possible!

"Young man, you were deceived just now... I don't know who he is. But the flow of time after you met me is no problem."

In other words, between the time I put down the clock and the time I met Merlin, did I have a problem with my perception of time?

Xifa's heart sank, but he was completely unaware of this matter. Even Merlin only had a sense of it and couldn't explain it.

Forget it, go back to Hogwarts first and see how Elise is doing. Just ask Professor Dumbledore about this.

In fact, Merlin and Professor Dumbledore should have a lot in common!

After saying that, Xifa crushed the resonance ball in his hand that he had returned safely.

In the Transfiguration Office of Hogwarts, when the resonance ball was shattered, even Elise, who was so weak that she was lying on the sofa, cheered with Luna and Cassandra.

On the desk, Ariana, infected by laughter, reluctantly left the portrait.

"Nico! The time has come! You come and release the resentful spirit into Nurmengard, and I'll go see Gellert!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dumbledore apparated and disappeared in front of Nico Flamel.

"You have to extract the labor power of even hundreds of years old people..."

Nico Flamel waved his wand tremblingly, taking over Dumbledore's place and complained dissatisfiedly.

------Digression-----

I'll make a quick decision and try to finish writing this volume tomorrow before I go to work.
