Chapter 131 Survival or Destruction?
Three figures appeared on the path.
William walked slowly along the bluestone pavement on the edge of the lake, walking towards the agreed place, followed by two beautiful girls.
Babbling suddenly appeared under a tree, looking at the handsome boy from a distance, and when he got close, she finally said, "Why did you guys come back so slowly?"
"I found something interesting, so I put it off for a while."
William smiled, snapped his fingers, and the pendant floated past.
Babu Ling stretched out her hand to hold it, rubbed it lightly, and tied it around her neck again. The amulet was once again hidden between the breathtaking twin peaks.
Hermione asked curiously, "Professor, what happened here, the school is in a mess?"
More than a mess, William just saw a group of elephants rampage, and he didn't know he thought he had entered the zoo.
Could it be that they also migrated all the way from Xishuangbanna?
Babu Ling quickly reiterated the matter.
William couldn't help sighing, Tom was really amazing.
No one would have imagined that Vagadu's sorcerer turned out to be his successor!
No one could have imagined that this was actually a group of Animagus.
"Brother Tom, what surprises do you have, I don't know?"
Of course, Tom was able to achieve this level, which was also expected by William.
No matter how tightly protected Ilvermorny was, Tom could peel back layer by layer to reveal the secret place.
And having done so much work, William is about to be cheap, and he has to complete the final depth and take away the most precious thing from Ilvermorny.
But Babu Ling lifted her foot and stomped the ground lightly, sighing:
"There are still some problems, William. Hicks just told me that there is an active volcano under our feet.
The snake wood is rooted in the deep mountains, and the volcano has not erupted. Once the wand is taken away, it will... boom! "
"..."
The matter has come to the last step, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent... You are telling me this?
Co-author this snake tree, or the sacred tree for protecting the mountain?
Well, the Deathly Hallows are all about doing whatever you want.
William rubbed his eyebrows slightly. He didn't have such a headache even after the explosion of the Capitol Building just now.
Regardless of the headache, one thing is clear:
Slytherin's wand must be obtained. Only by obtaining it can the Horcrux community be unlocked.
Only "Old Tang" and "Xiao Tang" can be completely killed, and the war will end.
Tonight is the best time, I missed it, I don't know how many years to wait.
But take away the wand, and the volcano will erupt, and Ilvermorny will not only be destroyed, but many people will be killed.
Here are all the little wizards in North America...
The most serious consequence is probably this: the young wizards under the age of 18 in this continent will be wiped out, and the magical world of the United States will be directly faulted.
To survive or to perish, this is a question worth pondering.
Who will continue to survive and who will be destroyed is a difficult choice.
William suddenly remembered the trolley problem:
A madman tied five innocent people to the tramway.
An out-of-control tram was heading towards them and was about to run over them in moments.
You can pull a lever and send the trolley to another track.
But the problem is, the lunatic also tied a man on another tram track.
So, do you pull the lever?
Five to one... choose to save, no... choose to kill? !
William frowned, then stretched out, turned his head and glanced at the beautiful woman with light clouds and wind, and asked:
"Do you have a solution, Professor Babbling?"
Yeah, why does he think about it?
How to relieve Ilvermorny's defense and smooth the snake wood, that is what Tom should consider;
How to protect Ilvermorny, that is what Babrin should think about.
Anyway, the sky fell down, and there was a big chest against it. It's fine for William to hide in his arms.
Babbling rolled her eyes at William, looked at him, and said calmly:
"I did think of a way, but the probability of realizing it is very low."
"Tell me."
"That snakewood wand, with Slytherin magic:
Parseltongue can wake the wand, or put it into a slumbering state, just like a normal tree branch. "
Babbling raised her head, looked at the night, and said softly:
"Back then, Aesop's aunt, Gormley Gaunt, hunted down North America. She used Parseltongue to hypnotize her wand and turned it into ordinary snakewood.
Finally, Aesop buried his wand in the ground, and with the nourishment of the soil, the snakewood slowly grew. "
She narrowed her eyes, stared at William, and said seriously:
"Once we got the wand, we gave it to Tom to cut off the connection with the Horcrux.
Before the full eruption of the volcano, the snake wood was re-hypnotized with Parseltongue and buried again. "
"But there are two difficulties with this method." Hermione thought for a while and said sharply:
"Tom won't take the initiative to cut off the Horcrux so soon after he gets his wand.
If I were him, I might get out of here and find the right time.
When a volcano erupts in full force, even if it is slower, the magma will be ejected from the ground in a few hours at most.
We simply can't wait. "
Babbling glanced at William and Hermione, and said with a smile:
"It's up to you. Find a way to convince Tom to cut off contact immediately after getting the wand, and not reveal his identity."
William was suddenly speechless. Tom's goal was this Slytherin wand. It was very difficult to persuade him!
Hermione rolled her sly eyes, thought for a few seconds, and said quickly, "I have a solution!"
Everyone looked at her in surprise, which was too clever.
Hermione didn't say how, but continued to ask: "There is one more question.
Even if the wand is hypnotized and buried in the ground, it will take a year for the wand to take root, and by then the volcano has erupted. "
"It's simple." William thought about it and said:
"The last time I went to the Department of Mysterious Affairs, I still have a lot of that time power, which can be applied to the snake wood."
Ravenclaw used the power of time to rust the crown, and William did the opposite and restored the crown.
Although the recovery is a bit too much, and all are reset to factory settings, the method is feasible.
"Look, it's easy." Babu Ling raised her naturally charming brows and smiled:
"Now it's just a matter of taking the wand from that Pukki.
Just a pokemon. "
A...Pukechi?
William's eyes were obscure. He looked at the night, and his face suddenly became solemn.
As a Trelawney Humanoid Encyclopedia, he suddenly remembered the prophecy that Trelawney made when teaching fire divination at the beginning of the semester:
"The pine needles of the mountains roar in the wind,
The night wind groans hopelessly.
red fire,
Burn all over.
blooming tree,
was cremated.
hot lava...
About to destroy the whole school..."
There was a lot of speculation at the time, but now it seems that the so-called school did not refer to Hogwarts, but Ilvermorny!
William was overwhelmed with emotion, and finally came across a true prophecy...
If I had known to ask her earlier, did the magma really destroy the whole school in the end?
