Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 571: Long memory
,!
"A love that never fades but never blooms again."
Sean opened his eyes, and he was already sure that the broken blood alliance belonging to his ancestors in front of him had experienced the same thing as Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
Moreover, like Dumbledore, his own ancestor, in order to let the other side of the blood alliance gain powerful power, ended himself.
This broken blood alliance must have been left by the ancestor's lover.
Sean can almost guess the psychological activities of that ancestral lover... Grindelwald is the best reference example in front of him. When he was in Godric's Hollow, he did not hesitate to fight against memory and distort the Deathly Hallows, but also wanted to save Dumbledore.
That ancestor's lover, presumably the same, the other party must want to "bring" the ancestor back.
However, at present, it should be a failure.
Then what's left inside... Sean looked at the jewelry box.
Shaking his head, Sean stopped his brainstorming. He carefully put away the two broken blood alliances, and then put his wand on the inner layer of the jewelry box.
"A love that never fades but never blooms again."
No response?
Sean thought for a while, and switched to the rune construction method.
At this time, the rusty jewelry box trembled unsteadily. The inner lining was like an iron door that had been locked for thousands of years.
Sure enough, it is the same as my ring.
Seeing the scene similar to when his ring was opened, Sean finally came down for sure.
However, when the jewelry box in front of me "opens the door", it looks like an old piece that has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years in a garbage dump.
During the opening period, Sean kept holding his wand to prevent the space extension spell, which had come to an end, from completely losing its effect, which would lead to accidents.
Fortunately, despite the difficulties, the "door" of the jewelry box was opened.
The bottom of the box expanded into a hole, and a dusty basement step appeared in front of Sean.
Holding up his shiny wand, Sean cautiously walked inside.
The steps going down are not long, only about three or four meters away. When he walked into it, Sean could clearly feel an unstable magic power, which meant that this space was on the verge of collapse.
However, at least one or two years can last...
Having made such a judgment, Sean boldly and confidently walked into the basement.
The stone room is narrow and dark. There is a seat on the right hand side of the steps, and there is a crystal cover full of cobwebs and dust on it, which should be used to place the light source.
Sean waved his wand, and the ball of light at the top floated over and penetrated into the crystal cover. The light was magnified. Although he was still groggy and had many ghost images, he could finally see the situation in the basement clearly.
The dust here has already piled up a thick layer on the ground, and Sean even felt like walking into the snow when he stepped on it. In addition, there was a decaying smell from the cobweb-covered corners and walls, which even made people dizzy.
In the middle of the stone room, there is a pair of knight armor, which "sits" on the only iron chair. The strange thing is that even the metal, after so many years, should be rusty or even completely damaged, leaving only iron pieces.
However, apart from some dust on the armor, there was no trace of decay on the surface. There were a few scratches on the chest and shoulder armor, which seemed to be left by the swords of that year.
After getting closer, Sean discovered that there was a skeleton next to the armor, and that skeleton was sunk in the back, as if snuggling behind the armor.
The clothing on the skeleton has long been weathered and turned into ashes. Judging from the size of the skeleton, this should be a woman.
One hand of the female skeleton was caught in the arm of the armor, hanging down powerlessly, and the other right hand rested on her chest, and the part of the chest that was aimed at, the part of the sternum that belonged to the heart, was all broken, as if the heart had come out.
Sean walked over silently, and carefully opened the right hand of the female skeleton, which was a dagger.
The handle has been completely decayed, and the tip of the dagger has a slight silver light emitting from it. There are also several symbols that have been mostly decayed, and Sean can barely make out that they should be ancient runic symbols.
Magic dagger, aimed at the heart...
Sean raised his head, and he could clearly see that the skull of the female skeleton turned slightly sideways, as if staring at the person who should have been in the armor. Even the empty eye sockets, Sean seemed to be able to feel a trace of love and pain back then.
He was completely silent, and he was able to guess the general situation.
The identity of this skeleton is also ready to be revealed.
The lover of my ancestors...
And this piece of armor should belong to his ancestors.
Sure enough, after wiping off the dust a little, you can see the rose emblem on the chest of the armor.
Then, Sean raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the basement. From the moment he walked in, he felt a faint wave of magic power coming from there, connecting the seat below and the armor above.
His body floated up, brushed off the dust and cobwebs, and saw something embedded in the ceiling of the basement.
A blood-red heart.
The heart is lifelike, the whole heart has been crystallized, the bright red hidden inside is now dim, but it is still blinking stubbornly, as if the heart is still beating.
Sean was silent for a moment, then waved his wand, and the dust and cobwebs in the entire room were rolled up.
The runes carved on the wall were finally clearly displayed in front of Xiao En.
The entire basement uses ancient runic symbols. These symbols are linked together to form a magic channel, and the core of the channel's ability is also the source of magic power that maintains the space extension spell here. This blood-red crystal heart.
The owner of the heart is the skeleton of the woman who cut her chest open with a magic dagger.
Sean could even imagine the scene spanning time. The unknown lady arranged everything, snuggled up next to her lover's armor, and then cut open her chest with a magic dagger.
The wizard's magic power responds to the magic power channel built by the ancient runes, and the heart "drills" out, becoming the source of magic power that can last for thousands of years.
In addition to maintaining the space extension spell here, the only thing this lady has been maintaining is her lover's armor. Otherwise, a pair of armor without magic power cannot last for such a long time without decay.
"Alas..." Sean sighed deeply.
He walked around the armor and bones, and found what he wanted behind the seat.
It was a crystal bottle, even the bottle stopper was made of crystal, and, to ensure that the contents would not dissipate, there were ancient runic symbols engraved on the body of the bottle.
In the bottle, bright silver mixed with dim yellow flocks is floating idly.
That is a memory.
When Sean picked up the crystal bottle, the crystal heart inlaid on the ceiling flickered rapidly. It seemed to be trying its best to release the last trace of magic power, and it was also reminding the visitor that its mission had been completed.
The space began to vibrate visibly.
Shawn didn't stay any longer. He gently lifted the ancestor's armor and the female skeleton out with the levitation spell. During this period, due to the unavoidable movement, the armor made the sound of being about to scatter, and the skeleton also looked like it was falling apart.
Shawn increased the output of magic power, and cast the Levitation Curse on each part, so that both could maintain their original appearance—except for the right hand of the armor and the left hand of the skeleton, the two were tightly hugged together, as if they would never be separated.
When Sean moved everything out lightly, he stood at the door of the basement, waved his wand, and the blood-red crystal heart slowly floated over.
Then, the space extension spell that had been maintained for thousands of years in the jewelry box collapsed instantly.
The stone walls and other areas inside were not "squeezed out", but turned into space dust in a burst of distortion.
The jewelry box suddenly shrank and expanded, and finally there was a "click" on the box, and there was no fluctuation of magic power.
Standing on the stone slab, Xiao En looked at the armor and bones beside him, he was silent for a while, frowning and sighing for a while.
Finally, after hesitating for some time, he decided to take a look at the contents of the memory bottle.
You two, let's embrace each other for a while...
Taking out the Pensieve, Sean uncorked the bottle, and quickly poured the memories that had begun to collapse into it.
The wand was stretched in and stirred for a while, and Sean's eyes were a little surprised--when checking the memory, the stirring of the wand is to make the memory read by the Pensieve faster, and the memory itself has no weight, just like stirring in the clouds.
However, this bright silver mixed with dim yellow memory seems to be "sticky" to the wand, and there is always a strong sticky feeling when it is stirred.
After a little effort, all the memory strands were finally read by the Pensieve.
Sean took a deep breath, then sank his face in.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself by the lake.
This lake... Sean was surprised to find that the lake in front of him was not far away from him. It was just near the manor in reality, and it was the place where his family liked to have picnics when they were young.
If I remember correctly, there should be a flower bush near here, where many roses are planted. My father often praised this place when he was a child, because the roses here are surrounded by a huge tree, which is very beautiful, and the flowering period is longer than other roses.
He often said that this place is the blessing left by the ancestors.
Sure enough, Xiao En took a few steps to the place in his memory, and saw a large field of flowers, which was not much different from the flower field in his memory, the only difference was the tree.
The tree surrounded by flowers has just grown taller, only two or three meters high, but the lush shade seems to predict its future appearance.
Beside the tree, there is a man.
Shawn stepped forward.
It was a very beautiful lady, she had emerald green eyes, long silver hair, and proud, stubborn and extremely delicate eyebrows. She was wearing a long skirt printed with complicated and beautiful patterns. The long skirt dragged the floor, but there was no trace of dirt on it. There was a light silver halo swaying at the hem of the skirt.
That was magic... Xiao En immediately determined that the lady in front of him was the lover of his ancestors, and of course, she was also a wizard.
However, this seemingly beautiful and stubborn lady is like a thread in the wind at this moment. She doesn't have much expression, but the despair and sadness in her eyebrows make people feel heartbroken.
Sean waited quietly, and at this moment, the lady spoke.
"I don't know who will come here..."
"I hope you can be a descendant of the Wallop family..."
The lady sighed again, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were frowned sadly, and her dark green childish holes were trembling slightly.
"I don't know how to describe such a story to you, but the reason why I keep this memory is that I hope that no one will suffer because of it, and I hope that my unfulfilled wish can be fulfilled...Of course..."
She looked in one direction, which was where Wallop Manor was located.
"I hope he...he can come back..."
There was another long silence, the lady did not shed any tears, but the sadness and pain in her body were almost overflowing.
She was drowning in pain, but in the end she tried her best to smile in the direction of the manor.
"I miss him so much..."
A moment later, she squatted down gently, holding a white rose petal in her hand.
"I met him five years ago. I was the daughter of the Grand Duke, and he was a newly promoted knight who was eager to make contributions... Originally, our lives were very different. Even if he became a general, my best object was the king's child. I should have become the prince's wife."
"He is proud but gentle, friendly and tolerant——I don't like this kind of person, I think this kind of person lives too tired... As the daughter of the Grand Duke ~IndoMTL.com~ I hope my future husband can be more... More vivid, as a spoiled and willful woman, I always think, how can there be a perfect person in the world?"
"Of course, we shouldn't come together... But, accidents always happen, don't they? I'm a wizard, and he's also a wizard..."
As she spoke, the woman seemed to be immersed in her memory, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
"My idea is correct. How can there be a perfect person in this world? Just like him, on the surface, everyone calls him the Great White Rose, and calls him the most tolerant, friendly and moral knight, but in fact-hahaha, this person will curse the general behind his back because of the suppression of him by the general, hoping that the other party will fall off and make a fool of himself during the next hunting."
"In the end, that general fell off his horse while hunting. He made a big fool of himself in front of my father and many ministers. On the surface, he thought it was just an accident, and laughed so hard behind his back that he even drank several glasses of wine—hee hee, in fact, I did it. A small spell is enough.
"We met from here, and then we became friends..."
