Fire Bearer at Hogwarts

Chapter 446 Another Me (Two in One)

"What happened?" Anna who was beside him looked surprised, she frowned and said, "Shouldn't Dumbledore still be alive?"

"Then maybe he is no longer here." Ash slowly expressed his conclusion.

"Tsk." Anna smacked her lips, she felt pretty good about that gentle old man.

"Then we should act quickly, right?" Anna looked around in the darkness and said, "But... we are indeed almost there."

"Yeah." Ash nodded, the abyss in the surrounding air was already flowing like liquid, and beyond the light of the silver necklace were piles of disgusting slime.

This place was already close to the heart of the abyss, but to Ash's surprise, there were no living or moving creatures here.

It was not heavily guarded as he imagined, and there were no countless dark creatures raging. Everything here was as calm as the sea. Except for the black dragon that had fallen and never appeared again, Ash didn't see anything.

He and Anna are like two travelers, walking at the bottom of the deep sea...

Maybe this is the so-called deep sea age?Ash randomly guessed the stories he heard in the past, after all, there is only a world like the deep sea around him.

"Slap." Suddenly, Anna touched a stone with her hand, and Ash was slightly taken aback by her movement.

"What is this?" Ash asked, he could only see a huge stone pillar standing there in the vague darkness, and there were jagged rocks around it.

"The gate." Anna said, "If nothing unexpected happens..."

"Where's the gate?" Ash frowned slightly: "The deepest layer of the abyss?"

"Almost..." Anna nodded, but doubts clearly appeared on her face: "But here... it's surprisingly quiet."

"..." Ash nodded slightly, he looked around vigilantly, but facing layers of darkness, he couldn't see clearly.

It's too quiet here... It even made Ash start to wonder, is there really the so-called incarnation of the abyss here?

"Follow me." Anna seemed to be groping for a way in, her voice was muffled as she stood beside the stone pillar, and then waved the glowing wand in her hand.

Ash nodded and followed. As he and Anna walked into the stone gate, the darkness in front of him gradually dissipated. Unknowingly, an empty hall became in front of him.

The hall was devastated, with huge potholes and broken buildings everywhere due to battles or other reasons.

It looked like it was some kind of temple, and Ash could even see half of the broken stone tablet.

"What is this?" Anna looked at the stele with doubts in her heart, "The last time I came...it wasn't like this here."

"What did you see when you came last time?" Ash approached the stele and began to recognize the blurred words.

"A terrifying incarnation of the abyss..." Anna thought for a while and said, "He calls himself Manus, the Lord of the Abyss."

"..." Ash shook his head lightly. He had never heard of this name before, and this character had never appeared in Biheim's classics or in the stories of the Great Library.

"What's written on the stele?" Anna looked at Ash curiously and asked, "I didn't have this thing last time."

"It should be a story..." Ash had roughly recognized the first few lines of the stele.

"People from the future, the past, and the present, this is the record I left in the Rhodeland era."

"The Rhodeland era..." Ash felt a little puzzled.

"What's the matter, what does the Rodland era mean?" Anna looked at Ash and asked, "And he also said the future, the past, and the present?"

"The era of Rodland was ten thousand years ago." Ash thought for a while and said, "At that time, the gods walked the world, and the flames were burning in full swing."

"But with the gradual failure of the first fire, the Rodland era has come to an end." Ashe introduced, he looked down.

"This is the deepest layer of Urazilu, and it is also the origin of the most ravaged darkness. My name cannot be disclosed, but the purpose of my coming here is to be entrusted by the dark princess."

"Princess Darkness is the last princess of Urazilu." Ash said to the puzzled Anna: "After Urazilu was destroyed, she was the only one left to escape."

"Then this person was invited by the princess to liberate Ulasiru?" Anna guessed: "But Artorius should be from the time of King Gwen?"

: He has met King Gwen. "

"Hmm..." Ash was full of doubts, because an unknown person came here between Anna and himself, but his departure time was long after Anna.

"Maybe it's because the time of Ulasiru is different from that of the outside world?" Ash knew that the time in this world has become abnormal due to its own instability, and it is also the intersection of time everywhere...

That person may have stayed here for a short time like Artorius, while the time outside has passed for a long time.

You must know that Artorius is tens of thousands of years away from Ash's era, while Anna is only more than 100 years old now...

What a chaotic timeline...

Ash shook his head and continued to look down.

"The stele is set up here to commemorate the great flame, courage and justice. They helped me kill the Lord of the Abyss here and take back the dark soul."

"..." Anna slowly opened her eyes wide after listening to Ash's words: "He killed the Lord of the Abyss?" ! "

"..." Ash took a deep breath. He already had some guesses about this mysterious person. He remembered a book he had read in the royal city of Arnoel Londe. Entered Ula Xilu.

It's just that this person's identity...

"What's written on the back?" Anna asked, "Who the hell is he?"

Ash shook his head, then continued to look down with the faint light.

"My journey here is over, but I have to tell the people who come here: the flame and the abyss live together, it lives with the fire, and it will die with the fire, but I must pass on everything, because I can See, the age of fire is not over yet."

"Born with fire, extinguished with fire..." Ash muttered these words softly. Finally, he found the answer to the question he explored on this stone tablet. The connection between flame and abyss... made Ash's In my heart, that bold idea began to gradually expand.

For some reason, his thoughts of betrayal and blasphemy began to germinate, but he just shook his head when he thought of it. After all, the records here don't know whether they are true or not.

So he slowly looked down.

"I would like to record this period of history with this stele, and also use this stele to inform the future, the people of the past and the present: Abyss Walker: Artorius, King's Vanguard: Kiaran, Eagle Eye: Goff, here is The burial place of heroes."

"There is sorrow before, so fearlessness."

"Artorius..." Anna heard the walker's name, she shook her head silently and then stopped talking.

And Ash nodded knowingly, then stretched out his hand to wipe off the last dirt under the stone tablet.

"Signature: Undead."

Ash looked at the name and suddenly laughed. He suddenly felt a feeling of the intersection of different time and space. The last fire passer met the first fire passer. He didn't expect that he could still feel the flame here. shaded.

It seems that everything he said should be true... Ash believed him, because he knew that he, like him, was the bearer of that mission.

He knelt down, gently swiped his wand to clean the stele, and then patted the stele as if meeting a friend.

"We should go, Anna." Ash said slowly, he walked slowly behind the stele, where he saw a narrow passage.

Anna nodded silently. She was still thinking about Artorius. The sacrifice of this wanderer reminded her of many things.

And Ash's heart was not at peace, he suddenly thought of the black dragon with injured wings, maybe... what does this have to do with that eagle-eyed Goff?
The two walked slowly out of the narrow passage. Outside the passage, there were familiar dilapidated towns and dark lines. It was obvious that this was another town in Ulasiru.

It's just that it's completely different from the way Ash and the others came.

Here too, there are no soldiers and fighters from the abyss, but only traces of battle.

The undead man should have entered the deepest part of the abyss from here, killed the master of the abyss, and then left here...

Ash squatted down, brushing the crystal fragments on the floor with his hand.

This crystal is much purer than Ash's crystal, and its color is more blue.

Ash knew very well that this should be the earliest crystallization magic.

Something from the era of Big Hat Logan...

In addition, Ash also discovered more things. He saw the fragments of the broken element bottle on the ground, and even saw a piece of advice left by someone who didn't know.

"There is a way ahead."

It seems that this senior undead man has not forgotten to show the way to the newcomers, but maybe he doesn't know that Ulasiru has another way to enter.

Even, which one might be the right path?
As Ash and Anna continued to move forward, a small arena slowly appeared, which was quite similar to the one at the entrance of Ulasiru.

But Ash could still detect the difference between the two.

For example, there is a small rock pile in the corner of this arena.

On the stone pile is a string of withered garlands.

"..." Anna looked at the small stone pile and squatted silently, then picked up the flower with her hand...

Ash also squatted down, then stretched out his hand to touch slightly.

He found two rings under the stone pile, one with a lifelike wasp painted on it, and the other with a running wolf.

"Artorius and Kialan are said to be a couple." Ash slowly muttered the rumor he had heard before, but at that time he never thought that he could see it here...

He slowly put the ring into his pocket, and then walked to the entrance of the arena, where there was a strange helmet in the corner.

Ash froze for a moment, then waved his wand to pick up the helmet. This helmet was no ordinary helmet. Apart from its particularly large shape, Ash also found that the gaps of the helmet were covered with resin.

Obviously you can't see anything outside through the helmet...

Something strange... Ash shook his head and put the helmet back where it should have been.

He looked at Anna who was still squatting there, took a deep breath and said, "We should go, Hogwarts still needs us."

…………

The sun shines on the ruined walls of Hogwarts. The collapsed walls, damaged buildings, and burning forests here are all telling anyone who comes here what happened here.

Sirius, Kingsley, Lupine, and several other members of the Order of the Phoenix stood by the black lake, looking at the academy in disbelief.

"It's a step late." Kingsley said slowly.

"..." Lupine and Sirius were speechless at this moment.

"Harry..." Sirius muttered Harry's name suddenly, and he walked towards Hogwarts waving his wand.

"Stop him!" Kingsley quickly grabbed Sirius: "Don't go there yet!"

Lupine also slowly came to his senses, and being more rational, he quickly pulled Sirius back: "It's too dangerous, the Death Eaters may not have left yet."

"..." Sirius struggled to get over, but he couldn't move his two friends at all. In the end, he could only sit down on the ground and complained to himself, "It's all my fault... If I was here..."

"It's not your fault, Sirius." Lupine reassured: "No one would have thought that the Ministry of Magic was under control."

That's right, last night, when the members of the Order of the Phoenix arrived at the Ministry of Magic, they were attacked by Death Eaters. Barty Jr. led his Death Eaters to attack members of the Order of the Phoenix crazily.

If Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror office, hadn't discovered this and took the only remaining loyal Aurors to cover it up desperately, maybe the members of the Order of the Phoenix would have confessed there as well.

"This place has been controlled by Death Eaters." Kingsley watched the wizard in black robe fly through the air on a broom.

"Then what do we do?" asked a member of the Order of the Phoenix, obviously hit hard by Hogwarts' miss.

"..." Kingsley was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Britain can't stay here for the time being, and immediately evacuate everyone who can."

"But Britain can't stay, where should we go?" Lupine asked.

Kingsley gritted his teeth, and then said, "Go to France."

"Look for Madame Maxime." He nodded and said, "She will help us."

"And we have to notify the Wizengamot immediately. All wizards must know that Voldemort has controlled the whole of Britain."

Kingsley's words made everyone nod their heads, and these battle-hardened members of the Order of the Phoenix waved their wands and disappeared into the field.

Some of them went to evacuate their families, some went to evacuate people from Diagon Alley, while Lupine and Sirius immediately went to Privet Drive, and they also wanted to evacuate Harry's uncle's family.
