"Professor Hufflepuff, Headmaster, what happened?"
Arctus rushed over as soon as he received the news. The principal's office was crowded with people. Helga Hufflepuff was squeezed in at the end. With her was Rowena Ravenk. Lao, he seems to have a bit of an emotional breakdown.
Arctus knew half of the people present. The Muggle Pope Wesker stood on the outside. Standing next to him was a cardinal archbishop, who is also one of the liaisons between the Muggle and wizarding worlds in the world today. Arctus had a good relationship, and the cardinal helped Arctus a lot when he was still traveling around the world.
Seeing Arctus enter, he nodded towards him in a friendly manner. Further inside are the people from the Magic Guild. Arctus Black's reputation is also loud enough. The Black family is at its peak, and most of the credit goes to the man in front of them.
Several elders from the Magic Guild were present, which seemed to have caused quite a stir.
"Here you are, Arctus." The old Hufflepuff handed a piece of parchment on the table to Arctus, "Let's take a look."
Arctus unfolded the parchment and placed it on the principal's desk. A large series of words were densely written on it. It was the form used by the Magic Guild to convey messages, but the words "urgent and important" were marked on it.
He read it carefully again, and it seemed to be what happened in the Albanian forest. Since Barrow and Helena disappeared, it has been shrouded in a strange magic wave. No one knows what happened inside, and no one can get close. Wizards who approached the Albanian forest would mysteriously disappear there, leaving no trace of them. More than ten years later, the place gradually became a legend.
However, just a few days ago, the mysterious magical power suddenly disappeared. The Magic Guild sent an expedition team to investigate deep into it. The forest was full of traces of the use of magical power, but those powers were very strange and seemed to be caused by wizards. Not too involved in soul magic.
The expedition did not stay too long in the forest. Just when they were about to withdraw, they suffered a sneak attack from an undead army.
"Legion of the Undead? Are there ghosts in the Albanian forest?"
Arctus asked strangely. The undead army is the army that the ghost clan is best at operating. Long before the legendary wizard Merlin appeared, the ghost clan had a war with the wizard. At that time, the undead army was left to the wizard. left an indelible impression.
But it was also because of that war that the ghosts were dispersed by the wizards, and no large ghost aggregation appeared again. Most of the ghosts ran back to live in the netherworld.
Even the well-informed Arctus rarely sees the presence of ghosts, let alone hordes of undead legions.
"This is the news from our expedition team. Only two of the six-person team came back alive."
The president of the Magic Guild is a newly appointed middle-aged man in his forties, whose surname is Lestrange. It is said that he is the illegitimate son of the current patriarch.
Arctus is not questioning the strength of the Magic Guild, but the sudden appearance of the undead army is too weird.
He didn't say anything, but continued to read the message.
The expedition team was outnumbered and fought and retreated with the undead army. Although they were all elites of the Magic Guild, they had nothing to do against such a strange undead army.
After killing several team members, they ran under a huge ancient tree. However, as soon as they arrived at this area, the attack of the undead army suddenly stopped, which surprised the members of the expedition team.
After exploring around the tree, they found a hole at the bottom of the trunk, which was covered with magic. There seemed to be another space here.
Powerful space magic supports the entire world, and among them, what is creepy is that there are three human skeletons.
There is one person in the expedition team who is proficient in many types of magic, but it will take a long time to use the corpse soul to reproduce such high-strength magic.
Moreover, judging from their appearance, these three corpses must have been dead for more than ten years.
The expedition team spent a lot of effort and finally
The identity of the deceased was confirmed, but when Arctus saw the name, he was suddenly stunned.
He finally understood why Professor Ravenclaw was in such a mood. The three corpses were Professor Salazar Slytherin's protégés Barrow, Missouri Slytherin and Helena Ravenclaw.
Arctus could probably guess the deaths of the three of them, but he was still a little shocked when he received the news. The cause of their death was also written on the back of the parchment. The magic of the corpse's reappearance showed the last moments of their lives. Barrow's spell hit Helena's heart. He killed Ravenclaw's daughter and him. His beloved, the sober Barrow, decided to atone for his sins. However, when he committed suicide, Missouri appeared to stop him to no avail, and died under his spell. In the end, Barrow had no choice but to commit suicide.
It seems to be a chapter of great love and sacrifice, but this fact is somewhat logically confusing, especially the death of Missouri Slytherin.
Senior Barrow's love for Helena was wholehearted. If Helena's death was really caused by his own mistakes, Barrow would definitely have an emotional breakdown. How could the same mistake lead to the tragic death of another girl who loved him deeply.
Moreover, the news did not mention the Ravenclaw diadem. Helena fled and stole her mother's diadem. This was also mentioned in Barrow's letter to him at the time.
"So, Ms. Hufflepuff, I know that this matter has caused heavy losses to Hogwarts, but we have to pay attention to it." The president of the Magic Guild said again, "You know, the undead army is heavy In this world, this is not a trivial matter. There is also a diadem. The diadem disappeared with Helena Ravenclaw more than ten years ago. Now her body has been found, but there is no trace of the diadem."
"We know, President Blazek," Hufflepuff said, "We will handle matters at Hogwarts on our own, but now we need the help of the Magic Guild."
"With the deaths of Barrow, Missouri and Helena and the missing crown, it is obvious that this incident is a conspiracy against Hogwarts. Rowena once predicted that Hogwarts would be destroyed. I I think this is not just for Hogwarts, but also for the entire magical world. The Magic Guild must stand on the same front as Hogwarts."
As soon as Hufflepuff finished speaking, suddenly there was a violent tremor in the entire office. Everyone hurriedly looked outside and saw a green-lighting bone spirit dragon opening its bloody mouth and attacking the magic outside Hogwarts. boundary.
"No, Headmaster Hufflepuff, there are mysterious creatures attacking Hogwarts. They are coming in large numbers from the mountains in the southeast!"
The door to the principal's office was burst open, and Professor Weasley, who was responsible for teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts and Alchemy, was standing panting at the door, announcing the start of the war.
