Under the shining of golden and black light, one after another shimmering figures emerged from the light ball in the center of the cave. At the same time, the surrounding cave walls made a buzzing sound due to the resonance of magic power.
The voice seemed to be echoing Hermione's spell.
After the figures left the light ball, they grew larger and larger, and finally became the size of ordinary humans. At the same time, the details on their bodies became clearer and clearer. They were no longer the blurry human silhouettes in the past, but became one after another made of smoke.
Composed of human ghosts.
They wore ancient costumes and looked just like the people painted in the oil paintings at Hogwarts. And from their souls, Ryan could feel that they were not ordinary wizards during their lifetimes.
After squeezing out of the ball of light, they gathered together after a brief period of excitement, and then began to talk in ancient Latin. A few minutes later, a wizard with a white beard and an ancient woolen spire
The soul of the old wizard in the hat was promoted by other souls. He slowly floated in front of Ryan and performed the ancient wizard etiquette to Ryan. It seemed that all the souls wanted to communicate with Ryan through him.
"Please wait a moment." Ryan returned the same courtesy, and then said in ancient Latin, "Please let my companions release everyone before we talk, so that we can deal with the situation you are facing at once.
.”
Fortunately, once the magic ceremony that Hermione was presiding over successfully ran, it didn't require much effort, and everything else would naturally fall into place. As the soul continued to leave, the ball of light began to flicker.
, and the frequency of flickering is getting higher and higher.
After half an hour passed, as the last soul left the light ball, the light ball also lit up suddenly and then disappeared completely, just like a burned out candle. At the same time, those souls were crowded together.
In this small underground space, it even reminded Ryan of the train station during the Spring Festival in his previous life.
Fortunately, souls can fly, so after a brief discussion, some ghosts flew up and formed a hemisphere in the cave with other ghosts. The two people who were at the center of their attention were Ryan and Hermione.
"Young man." After all the ghosts were arranged, the old ghost man who had been chosen by the ghosts as their representative stood up from a group of ghosts and said to Ryan and the others, "Please tell us what era it is now?
"
"It is January of 1998 AD." Ryan answered to the group of ghosts, and then asked. "By the way, do you know the definition of AD? That is-"
"Yes, we know this time calculation method from people who don't know magic." The old wizard's soul interrupted Ryan's words a little impatiently, and then sighed softly. "More than 1,000 years have passed.
Ah, I guess our kingdom must have disappeared into history.”
"Yes, you are right." Hermione said, "After King Arthur left the world forever and went to Avalon, the Kingdom of Britain completely fell apart, and the people were scattered to various places."
Hermione's words immediately caused the souls of these wizards to become noisy. Some ghost wizards had sad looks on their faces. Some even burst into tears.
This chaos lasted for several minutes before it was suppressed by the soul of the old wizard who was elected to communicate with Ryan and the others. After everyone calmed down, the soul of the old wizard continued to ask. "I see you two are talking to each other.
We are all wizards, so what is the situation of wizards now? Are they still respected and feared by ordinary people?"
"The current situation of wizards is pretty good, but now all wizards are separated from ordinary people because of the witch hunting movement that appeared among ordinary people hundreds of years ago. In order to protect both parties, the wizards passed the Secrecy Law."
Ryan answered seriously.
"Prey movement, secrecy law." These endless new words made these wizards who had been restrained for thousands of years at a loss. So after a few minutes of whispering, the old wizard's soul asked if Ryan could explain the current situation outside.
.
Ryan was naturally willing to fulfill the little wish of these poor dead souls, so he took out two chairs from the space bag and sat down with Hermione one by one, and then began to talk about what they had learned from the previous history of magic textbooks and various topics.
The development history of the wizarding world over more than 1,000 years can be seen from the collected information.
This lecture lasted more than three hours. Even though he and Hermione took turns speaking throughout the entire lecture, Ryan felt that his throat was extremely dry. Fortunately, after the final lecture, these ghosts had absorbed too much in one breath.
The message was stagnant. He also took this opportunity to take out two cups of honey mint herbal tea from the space bag and gave one cup to Hermione and each other.
It wasn't until the two of them finished drinking the herbal tea that the souls of these wizards slowly calmed down. Then the soul of the old wizard who had been the representative of communication with Ryan and the others came out again and asked Ryan and the others. "You guys?"
Can you tell me what plans you have for us undead?"
"We will send you to the place where the dead should go." Ryan said. "After all, the world belongs to the living, and you are not suitable in this place."
"That's good," the old soul nodded. "In our time, there were countless evil guys who loved to enslave souls, especially the souls of wizards like us. We are lucky to meet people like you two.
A young, powerful and kind wizard."
After finishing speaking, the old man's soul nodded slightly. Then the souls of all the wizards present reached to their chests and took out a small ball made of gray mist the size of a table tennis ball. Then they threw the small ball out together.
After these small balls flew out, they began to slowly flatten out, and the edges and corners appeared, and finally turned into pieces of A4 paper composed of gray smoke. All the A4 papers slowly gathered under the command of the leading old wizard.
Together, it finally becomes a book about the state of the soul.
"I heard that over a long period of time, a lot of wisdom from ancient times has been completely forgotten. So in order to thank you for helping us, we have taken out all the knowledge we have and put it in this book.
I think powerful wizards like you will definitely be able to draw enough nutrition from it."
"Thank you." Ryan and Hermione performed an ancient wizarding etiquette at the same time, and then Ryan took out a rosewood box filled with cinnabar charms from his arms and stored the book on the state of the soul in it. "We will
This knowledge is sorted out bit by bit and then passed on to the appropriate wizards."
After completing the exchange, Hermione held Ryan's hand to resonate the magic power of both parties, and then used this powerful magic power to activate the power of the Black Book of the Dead and the Golden Sun Book.
In an instant, two kinds of light, golden and black, spewed out from the two books, forming an ancient Greek-style door of two colors in the air. In the middle of the door was a rolling black mist, and there was a strong sense of death hidden in the black mist.
Power. But unexpectedly, this power of death is not evil, but gives people a sense of peace.
"Is this the world of the dead behind this?" As dead souls, these wizard ghosts quickly learned the purpose of this door. They floated past Ryan and the others one by one, saluted, and then held their heads high.
Go through that door.
After all the more than 300 souls left, the door flashed in the air and disappeared completely. At the same time, Hermione fell limply into Ryan's arms.
"You're still too impatient." Ryan whispered after turning the chair into a recliner and helping Hermione lie down on it. "It's still too hard for you to open that door now."
