Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 2264: The source of evil
The ice flame torch on the pillar of the temple released a bright brilliance, illuminating the entire hall in a minute...except for the shadow in the corner on the right.
The ink-like black concealed the corner of the wall, making it impossible to see what was hidden inside. Only in this way, it has become a lot more noticeable.
Of course, in fact, everyone quickly guessed what was hiding in that shadow. After all, Delphi had already told everyone about her experience the last time she came.
"There is... Helbo."
Including Delphi, everyone who walked in from the entrance of the hall subconsciously glanced over there. Although the only person who can really see through the shadow is Luna who has the help of Silly Bo, because only Silly Bo has mastered the rules of the shadow, but almost everyone whispered this in their hearts.
In this scene, the "Lord of the Living Dead" sitting high on the throne could see clearly, but he obviously didn't care.
"In short, welcome everyone to the Ice City as guests! Since the last time I met you have prepared seats for me, I will naturally not be rude, please sit down—"
As he said this, he suddenly raised his hand with a wave. The next moment, ice crystals on both sides of the aisle in the middle of the hall immediately condensed. Accompanied by a crisp sound of "click", two rows of ice seats on the opposite side of the aisle rose to the ground. Under the light of the flame, a beautiful Jinghui was reflected.
It's just that the back chairs made of ice crystals are beautiful and beautiful, but they are all chilly, and I'm afraid they will not be very comfortable to sit on.
"Oh, sorry!"
The lord of the living corpses probably also noticed this, and then snapped his fingers again, and in a flash, sheets of gorgeous blankets and cushions appeared on the seats.
"Please!" He spread his hand, "If there is any other need, please feel free to speak up-although this is somewhat generous, there seems to be a lot of good things in this palace. For example, the huge wine cellar at the back stores a lot of fine wines. Neither the living corpses nor I have a taste, so it seems a pity to keep it. If you want to taste it..."
"No, Mr. Greed, we... we are obviously not here to steal the Muggle royal inheritance."
Delphine is talking.
I don't know what kind of mood she was in when she said this sentence, but just listening to her unwavering tone, you know that she is trying her best to suppress the fluctuation of her mood.
"Oh, of course." Above the throne, the tall and dark figure nodded disapprovingly, "Since you don't like politeness... it's okay, let's just start with today's topic! First of all, No matter how many other thoughts you have in your mind, there is only one thing that must be put first, and that is-'eliminate the devil'!"
As for the term "devil", everyone present is naturally no longer unfamiliar, and even everyone has already fought many of them one after another.
However, what the "lord of the living corpses" said today still made everyone quickly put aside all the distracting thoughts in their hearts and listened carefully.
"...As far as I know, many demons have appeared so far, and I have met with the living corpses under me. There is a huge body-focused'anger'; there is spirit Outstanding strength and good at soul control's'arrogance'; has a treacherous track, can move in space, and likes'gluttony' that devours the soul of creatures; and it is not an entity, but its actual destructive power is second only to anger, and its mental strength is even more powerful than arrogance. High'lust'."
When referring to "gluttony", he deliberately or unintentionally glanced into the conspicuous shadow in the corner of the hall, only because everyone was listening and thinking about demons, only Delphi and Luna Wait for a few people to notice his movements.
Probably noticing that everyone under the steps was thinking, he paused for a while before continuing:
"Because of some known or unknown reasons,'laziness' and'jealousy' didn't seem to actually happen-at least neither I nor the massive army of living corpses under me found any traces of it. So, right now ours The goal is the four demons that have already appeared... to gather our strength, as long as we don’t let each other get together, then it may not be so difficult to defeat them. We just need..."
Maybe this matter has been considered many times, and he spoke these words very smoothly. But when the words were on the way, Delphi and Hermione suddenly looked at each other, and then immediately after the former, they suddenly spoke again, interrupting his words.
"Wait!" Delphi looked up at him in the deepest part of the hall. "You just said...'Lust'? This demon, we don't seem to have met this demon. Can you elaborate on it?" /
"Of course there is no problem," the lord of the living corpses nodded again, "in addition, it stands to reason that you human wizards should have encountered it earlier...have your teachers not mentioned it to you?"
Hearing the other party say so, Hermione finally couldn't help but speak up.
"You mean—that giant sea monster that attacked the Transformation? That's also a demon?" She frowned, and said in a little amazement, "Why? Not all demons..."
"All humanoids?" The Lord of the Living Dead shook his head and said calmly, "I don't know that there are such restrictions. Although the'guilt' is indeed derived more from your human spirit, it also stems from Other creatures, and demons are the manifestation of sin. It is not a strange thing that an inhuman image appears when the seven deadly sins are called."
Speaking of this, he suddenly waved his hand, and then smiled nonchalantly:
"It's better to say that the demons that have appeared one after another all exist in human-like appearance...This matter, perhaps it is worthy of your reflection."
Until he said this, Hermione and others recovered from the surprise that "sea monsters are also demons"~IndoMTL.com~ and then fell into surprise again.
"Do you mean that the appearance of demons is related to humans?"
Hermione also raised her head suddenly, and looked straight at the lord of the dead leaning on the armrest on the throne. The consternation and deep thought in her eyes had gradually turned into hesitation.
According to the other party, demons are essentially human sins, but...is it possible? No, even if this is the case, as a human being, I naturally don't want to admit it.
What's more, she always finds this kind of statement very problematic.
"The manifestation of evil into the world as a demon is naturally the result of the demon summoning technique. It is a'good thing' done by the guy named Helbo." The black figure said indifferently, "But, let's say They have nothing to do with human beings, it is naturally impossible."
At this point, his back suddenly left the handrail, leaning forward slightly to look at the people under the steps:
"...Do you think there is something like ‘sin’ in this world?"
