Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 574: The current situation of Ariana
,!
Hearing Xiao En's words, Aberforth immediately stood up.
His eyes were very fierce because of the force, and there was an expression of "it really is so" on his face.
"Sean! You know what's wrong! I just knew that my brother who wants to take all the responsibility by himself will leave some messages..."
As he spoke, he spun around again, his tone full of impatience and pain.
"He...he doesn't trust me enough! He's too...too arrogant! He's exactly the same as Grindelwald in this! Ever since his mother died, when we were young, until he was lying there...he hasn't changed."
Sean was startled, but he didn't expect that the rift between the Dumbledore brothers still hasn't eased up to this day.
After thinking about it, he said, "I do know something, but I don't think the professor trusts you enough, Aberforth."
Aberforth turned to look at him.
Shawn continued: "Professor, he... is more timid, because of Arianna's matter..."
"You know everything about Ariana?"
"I haven't heard it with my own ears, but the professor and Mr. Grindelwald have revealed something to me, so I can guess the general idea."
Aberforth sighed deeply, looking much older than before.
Shawn continued: "That's the professor's succubus. He always thinks it's his own fault and has been trying to make up for it. He always feels that he has to do everything well to tell you everything. However, the professor is a human being, not a god. All he can do is try his best... Yes, I think it's not good for the professor. As you said, he doesn't trust other people enough, but that's how he is. He would rather do more by himself—and you are his family, and he cares more about your evaluations, ideas, etc. "
As he spoke, Sean also sighed: "Aberforth, you know, he is like this, but that's not mistrust, it's fear..."
There was a long silence in the room.
After a while, Aberforth stood up and scratched his hair in annoyance, and said, "I was an **** when I was young, and he was an **** all his life, almost..."
Ori pouted.
"Sean, let me take you to see Arianna, I hope you can help me find my real sister."
Sean immediately followed after hearing the words, and asked suspiciously: "Really?"
Aberforth is categorical: "That only partly belongs to my sister! Ariana will never be what she is now!"
Out of the Pig's Head Tavern, several people walked towards the outside of Hogsmeade.
Aberforth said as he walked: "A few days before my brother died, he told me that he wanted to find Ariana, and I scoffed at that time—you know? Our sister is essentially fused with Fox's soul, and it is almost impossible to break away. Even after separation, my sister lacks a new body... Her original body was preserved by me, in the basement of the Pig's Head Tavern, but decades have passed... I thought my brother was the same as the past few decades, talking all the time, but also I have never been able to do it."
"But he died..." Aberforth showed a painful expression, "When he died, you hadn't returned to Hogwarts, but I sensed that the magic in the basement I left was touched."
Hearing what Aberforth said, Sean vaguely remembered that Aberforth was indeed not there when he returned with Dumbledore's body on his back.
"I hurried back and found that my sister's body was gone...Then I received your news. At that time, I was thinking, could it be that Albus exchanged his own death for Ariana...I don't understand all this, but all I can do is continue to look for Ariana."
"Then, I found her by the Black Lake..."
Black Lake? Sean frowned, and suddenly thought of something in the Black Lake.
As they were talking, several people had already walked to the periphery, but Aberforth did not signal Sean to apparate, but after a careful inspection, they walked into the bushes with no road next to them.
"This is not a secret road, let's just call it a small road. You can go around and enter the Forbidden Forest." Aurelius explained.
Following the entire foot of the mountain outside Hogwarts, passing through the path full of thorns and bushes, the tall dense forest belonging to the Forbidden Forest has appeared in front of you.
This is not the edge of the Forbidden Forest on the side of Hagrid's hut, but the opposite side.
Into the Forbidden Forest, Aberforth blew a weird whistle, and after a while, a centaur came running out of it.
He has red hair and a beard, and below the waist is a shiny brown-red horse with a long red tail.
"Aberforth, you'll be back soon." The centaur's voice was slow, with a hint of sadness.
"Ronan, I brought someone to meet her—how is she?"
The centaur named Ronan shook his head: "The situation is still unstable. We have been treating her, but she is still trying to attack us. If Dumbledore hadn't helped us many times, such an irritable pony would have been severely punished."
"I'm sorry to trouble you, by the way, this is Sean." Aberforth introduced.
Looking over, Ronan's sad eyes suddenly lit up, and then he came over with small steps on the horse's hooves, and bowed to Sean: "You have the stars that horse people like most in your eyes, welcome, friend."
Aberforth was stunned for a moment, he had never seen a centaur treat a wizard so kindly, no, even kind of flattering - his brother had never enjoyed this kind of treatment before his death.
Sean is used to it, he shook hands with the other party from the past: "Thank you, friend - your mane is very beautiful, it must be often soaked in the lake water."
Aberforth panicked for a moment. He knew that the centaur didn't like such greetings, and might attack...
"Of course, you are very knowledgeable, my friend." Ronan's sad tone rose a bit, and he seemed a little happy.
Shawn also smiled. Centaurs have intelligence no less than that of humans, but they don't want to be treated as humans, but as a brand new species, a beast that will never be enslaved. Therefore, praising each other's beast side in a natural way will make centaurs happy.
Under Aberforth's incredulous gaze, Ronan led several people towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
Soon, they came to a denser and denser forest, and a meadow appeared in front of them.
Many centaurs showed their figures from behind the trees, and they all showed friendly eyes when they saw Xiao En.
Ronan continued to lead the way, and they walked along the grass to the inside, and then walked into a particularly huge cave.
The cave is dotted with various glowing plants, dim but not dim.
Come to the innermost side, and an open field appeared, where there was a huge beast skull, enough to accommodate a person, and two centaur stood on one side, chanting words, and the glimmer of light in their hands radiated.
The shimmering light fell into the skull, but what responded inside was a roar containing killing intent.
A girl who looked younger than Sean was trapped in the skull, but her gentle facial features were full of violence at the moment, constantly colliding with the skull.
"Ariana..." Aberforth couldn't help calling softly.
Arianna turned her head and seemed to have regained some sobriety: "Aberforth...Aberforth!"
After only a moment of waking up, her magic power was aroused, and she wanted to attack Aberforth, but was stopped by the silver light flashing on the skull.
"She is like this now...without reason, only with killing intent and hatred...like a wild beast..." Aberforth said painfully.
This is not a soul separated from Fox... Sean immediately made a judgment.
He moved closer, and Arianna immediately let out a roar, trying to attack Sean.
"This is not the one separated from Fox's soul..." Sean said confidently, "There are things in her soul that I am familiar with, all negative emotions, and very unstable."
Aberforth was shocked: "How is it possible? It is not Arianna's soul, how can it occupy Ariana's body?"
Apparently, Aberforth didn't know that Ariana's soul was fused with the body and soul of another naturally born alchemist... The one in front of him should have just been stripped... But, how did it happen...
Suddenly, a ring on Ariana's hand caught Sean's attention. It was a silver ring with a very ordinary shape. It didn't look like anything out of the ordinary, but there was a swash letter "p" engraved on it.
Strange, this ring looks familiar... I seem to have seen this in someone's hand...
After thinking for a long time but still not getting an answer, Sean could only look at other people.
"Aberforth, has that ring always been on Arianna?"
Aberforth took a look after hearing the words, and said in surprise: "No, this is not Ariana's property. I am also sure that when her body was placed in the basement, she did not have this ring on her body."
"That's what I got later..." Sean thought for a moment, "What happened when you found her by the Black Lake?"
"She was wet all over, as if she had just come out of the black lake. When I followed the magic trail, she was already mad... However, when you asked, I remembered something was wrong. Although Ariana was mad, she seemed to have a goal... When I was knocked down once, she tried to rush towards the castle."
Castle? Is there what Ariana wants? Maybe that's the key...
However, how to solve Arianna's current state... It is likely that part of her soul has been eroded by Hai Erbo, and the violent soul naturally born with the alchemy body has been fused together for many years, and she is inevitably full of negative emotions. It is a bit similar to the situation of the blood-cursed orc...
Just as he was thinking, Sean suddenly discovered that although Ariana had been violently trying to attack, it seemed that there was only one person she was aiming at.
Sean.
After asking, Aberforth told Sean that Ariana hadn't had this situation before, and that she wanted to attack everyone here indiscriminately.
Huh? Why does Arianna hold such malice towards me? If it's caused by negative emotions, then she should treat everyone like this... Is there something special about me that attracts her?
The special place... that is 【Arrogance】...
Shawn frowned.
Shaun stood up after thinking of something, and he said to Aberforth who was in pain and anticipation: "I have some direction, give me some time."
"Can you save Ariana?"
Shawn shook his head: "Her soul is not complete at the moment. Even if her malice is eliminated, she is still not a complete Arianna - there is still a part of her soul that needs to be fully fused with her."
"Then..."
"Then it depends on the professor..." Xiao En said softly.
"Albus?!" Aberforth's eyes widened.
"If possible, I may be able to bring back your sister and brother, no, it should be said, to provide some help to your brother, he will bring back Arianna himself."
The breathing of Aberforth and Aurelius suddenly became short.
Sean turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave: "I'm going to visit the Black Lake."
He never forgot that there was a strange area at the bottom of the Black Lake, in which there seemed to be a terrifying creature dormant, and that creature also showed some strange malice towards Xiao En at the beginning.
In addition, the monster has a female face, but has a body like a mythical creature, very much like the product of alchemy or transformation failure.
Originally, Sean planned to explore again in the future, but now, Arianna suspected of appearing from the Black Lake, and the monsters there suddenly became mysterious.
Worth exploring.
Sean didn't hesitate too much. He left the Forbidden Forest and came to the lake. He checked what he had brought. He took the underwater breathing potion, added the waterproof spell, heat preservation spell, and night vision spell to himself, and then dived directly into the black lake.
When he entered the pitch-black lake, his ring opened a hole, and in an instant, two extremely large and terrifying black shadows and a slightly smaller black shadow also dived into the lake.
The basilisk and two Selma Lake monsters, these three magical animals guarded Sean's side, and the smaller Selma Lake monster walked through the water plants, constantly arousing Grindelwald who was fleeing back and forth.
Sean found a direction to swim. He remembered that it was the territory of the murlocs, so he was going to ask about the situation first.
When he came there, Sean was surprised to find that ~IndoMTL.com~ there was not a single murloc here, and even the things that murlocs liked were quietly entangled by aquatic plants, floating there along the water waves.
Sean frowned. It looked like the murlocs had made an urgent migration, and all of them disappeared suddenly...
He searched around along the nearby traces, but he didn't find any living murlocs, but he found a lot of skeletons, which seemed to belong to murlocs.
Something has attacked here...
Sean immediately thought of the terrifying monster, and this timing coincided with Arianna's appearance.
There must be a relationship...
Thinking of this, Sean swam towards the direction he remembered.
There was nothing to be seen in the pitch-black lake, but Sean, who had taken the potion and cast the spell, could clearly see everything around him.
Except for the flustered little fish that occasionally swam by, Sean found that the more he went to the location in his memory, the fewer and fewer magical animals there were.
"Be careful..." Xiao En had just ordered his three magical animals, when a strange fire suddenly lit up at the bottom of the lake in the distance!
