Obscure at Hogwarts

Chapter 267 Prisoners

For a brief moment.

Two things suddenly happened that surprised Louis, which really caught him off guard.

He simply couldn't imagine that someone could hide under the perception formed by the magic power of the third-turn Obscurus, quietly waiting for a suitable opportunity, and finding the right moment to suddenly shoot a cold arrow at Silas.

Because, as long as he is within the scope of this castle, Louis will be suppressed by the magic circle, and the area he can focus on using magic perception is only a few meters away.

but.

Louis is a thoughtful person.

Therefore, when Louis visited the castle for the first time with everyone, he planted a little Obscurus magic around the castle, as if inserting eyes throughout the castle, to grasp the subtle movements in the entire castle.

It was also by relying on stupid methods like inserting eyes that when Louis went to the north tower of the castle to deal with Mir and Silas, he was able to investigate all the suspects in the castle and immediately learned who the partner who was conspiring with Mir was. who.

But what about the person who suddenly fired a cold arrow at Silas at this time?

Unfortunately.

According to Louis' investigation in a short period of time, no one in the castle seemed to have any objections, as if the person who attacked Silas appeared out of thin air.

As for what is more difficult for Louis to imagine right now?

It must be the silver crossbow arrow that hit Silas right between the eyebrows!

When Louis saw with astonishment that the flying silver crossbow arrow could completely ignore the protective effect of the magic shield, and landed in the center of Silas's eyebrows, he concluded that the silver crossbow arrow must not be ordinary. It was constructed using some extremely advanced magic.

Then.

Was the result of being hit between the eyebrows by that silver crossbow arrow a one-shot death?

not at all!

When the sharp part of the silver crossbow pierced Silas's forehead, Louis could clearly smell a bit of the magic power of All Curses, which meant that the purpose of the silver crossbow arrow was not to kill people, but to deprive others of their magic power. right of use.

really.

As the silver crossbow arrow turned into little bits of silver light, following the bright red color on Silas' eyebrows, it slowly sank into Silas's body.

"buzz"

Silas suddenly lost the right to use magic.

In the blink of an eye, Louis saw the magic shield outside Silas's body and the purple chain turned into his own magic power disappear without a trace. His eyes were dull, and he fell into a confused state of thinking about life.

Then, he discovered that the bits of silver light still lingering in Silas's body were like a time bomb that could detonate at any time, threatening his life. While Louis couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly, Mir on the side saw the situation. What's not good is that he apparently wants to abandon his partners and run away alone.

pity.

He didn't know that Louis had been secretly paying attention to him.

So, just when Mir stared at the magic mirror belonging to Silas and hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and decided to leave with the help of the power of his own magic mirror, the three-turn Obscurus magic controlled by Louis suddenly came, and directly killed Mir. Even the magic mirror was rolled into the sleeves.

Followed by.

Louis stood quietly and said in a tone that did not allow anyone to question:

"The matter is basically settled, come out!"

The voice just fell.

Noticing that the man hiding around him had no intention of showing his body, Louis snorted expressionlessly. Immediately, the black mist rising from him suddenly turned into a monstrous fire, which was quite a bit... If the man persisted, he would burn the north tower of the castle to ashes.

Therefore, as a last resort, the person could only sigh deeply and replied in her cold voice:

"Louis, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want to show up, but that people who can't see me will never be able to see me."

"Ok?"

After a while to distinguish the familiar voice echoing in his ears, Louis was silent for a few seconds, and then asked slightly hesitantly: "Are you Aunt Vayne?"

"Yes, Louis, it's me."

Slowly moving her steps, moving from behind Louis, who was more sensitive, to in front of him, Vayne nodded gently as if she didn't exist and explained:

"Actually, it's not just me. Any other servant who has signed a contract with the Smith family, or a member of the Smith family, can more or less master several interesting special magics after awakening their talent as a wizard. We call them Bloodline revival, didn't Kui and Galen tell you about it before, right?"

"No"

It was clear that Vayne's voice came from the front, but Louis tried his best to still not notice her presence, so he couldn't help but continue to ask:

"Aunt Vayne, can anyone see you now?"

"Maybe?"

Vayne answered uncertainly: "It is said that anyone who has experienced death can see me using blood magic. Unfortunately, I have not met such a person so far. After all, my living scope is limited to this castle. , maybe there are quite a few out there!”

"Those who have experienced death"

Mumbling and repeating Vayne's words, Louis obviously thought this was a very interesting setting, very much like some kind of magical animal raised in Hogwarts.

Named

Thestrals!

The black fur is tightly attached to the skeleton, and a pair of huge bat-winged thestrals grow on its back. Legend has it that only people who have experienced death can see it, so it was once considered an unlucky symbol by superstitious people.

However, in fact, Thestrals can be seen not only by those who have experienced death, but by those who have witnessed death with their own eyes.

For example, Harry in the movie plot.

Before fifth grade, Harry always thought that the carriages in Hogwarts were self-driving. It was not until he witnessed the death of Cedric Diggory in the Goblet of Fire that he could witness the existence of such magical animals with his own eyes. Knowing that Hogwarts raises Thestrals, they are given the job of pulling carriages.

Besides, the bloodline resurgence that Vayne just talked about is easy to understand literally. It is nothing more than a power derived from bloodline.

However, Louis knew very little about the history of the Smith family, so for the time being he did not know how obsessed the ancestor of the Smith family who built this castle, the wizard named Lucian Smith, was with bloodline research, which indirectly affected his descendants, and all wizards who live within the confines of this castle.

But now Louis has two more channels of understanding. One is Vayne, who showed no malice in front of her, and the other is Silas, the former butler who betrayed the Smith family.

Therefore, taking advantage of Vayne's use of her blood magic to restrain Silas, whether it is for Mir's conspiracy with the traitor, or to gain a deeper understanding of the sad journey of this seemingly loyal butler who resolutely betrayed his allegiance to the family. , Louis has to do a mental reading for Silas.

About in just a few seconds.

"buzz"

The spiritual reading is completed.

Louis looked at Silas, who was stunned in place, and then at Vayne, who should be standing in front of him. The only thought that came to his mind while he was surprised was:

"Great!"

"The ancestors of the Smith family not only created a kingdom for the Smith family by enclosing land, but also created a kingdom for the entire wizarding world."

"A new ethnic group has been reproduced!"
