Harry Potter: I Am a Legend

Osivia stopped speaking, and stared at Hoffa without blinking.

And Hoffa pointed to the black lake outside the French window and said: "I have always had a doubt as to why those lake monsters cut the ice surface in the winter, but now, I want to understand. The black lake is the key. The key to connecting reality and illusion."

Osivia turned her head, and she hurriedly returned to her sitting position.

When Hoffa thought she was going to take the crown, she lifted the silver plate and stuffed a sandwich in her mouth.

She probably has been hungry for a long time and feels that eating like this is too inefficient. So he turned into a snake, opened his blood basin and swallowed all the food in one mouthful.

Hoffa looked at her, turned his head and held his forehead, almost unable to complain.

Afterwards, she hooked up the golden ring on the ground with her tail, swam to the small pool in the office, and turned into a human form.

"Go to Black Lake?" she asked.

"Yes."

"Come with me."

Osivia stepped directly into the pool and disappeared in it.

Hoffa cautiously walked to the pool in the office and looked at the lake outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, thinking that this was probably the secret road directly connected to the Black Lake.

He took a deep breath and stepped onto the surface of the pool. With a muffled sound in his ears, he seemed to have entered a water speed skating in an amusement park. The body circulates and bends, and keeps falling.

Ten seconds later, he rolled into the black lake, like a weightless astronaut in space, surrounded by dark green lake water.

Fortunately, Osivia swam over quickly, grabbed his arm, swayed his legs, and swiftly moved upstream.

The lake in early spring was not much warmer than it was at Christmas. Hoffa pinched his nose with one hand and Osivia's arm with the other. This year is his most swimming year. The Slytherins are always inseparable from the water, which makes Hoffa in the direction of the wind uncomfortable.

He is Ravenclaw, he likes the wind, he likes dry and cool places.

Osivia got out of the lake and took Hoffa to stand on the hillside by the black lake.

The wand soaked up the moisture from his body, under the shining white moon in early spring.

Hoffa pointed to the lake: "Look."

Osivia looked at the lake, but found that the lake was too dark at the moment, even the reflection of the school did not exist in it. Throughout the lake, only the moon in the sky can be seen.

"The school...the shadow of the school?" Osivia was incredulous.

"That's the problem."

Huo Fafei was slightly excited: "The magic of ancient wizards must be more than one, but if there is a mirror image, there is no better place than this."

"But, how are we going to get there, I don't know anything about it here."

Hoffa thought for a while, and an earlier encounter came to his mind, and he beckoned to Osivia.

"This way."

The two walked under the bright moonlight, and the dead branches exposed after the melting of ice and snow were trampled off by the two, making a crackling noise. Under the moonlight in the early spring, the shadows of the two men drew the old man on the ground.

In the end, they stood on a rocky floodplain far from the castle.

Here, you can see the station in the distance, and you can also see an old-fashioned train waiting at the station. That's the school bus, and all the students will be evacuated from this school the day after tomorrow.

Hoffa stood on the floodplain, the moonlight was cold, and the stones on the ground seemed to be coated with a white silver frost.

Looking at the dark lake, he whispered:

"I have been here. I came to this place inexplicably when I was on the train on the first day of school. I was here and saw the chassis of a passing train. Two of my friends said it was a dream. , Or my illusion.

Thinking about it now, it was definitely not an illusion, nor a dream. "

Osivia: "What the **** are you talking about?"

As soon as her voice fell, there was a sudden rush of water on the lake in the distance, and a hazy figure emerged from the water and floated on the lake. Looking at Hoffa without blinking, he beckoned to them.

After Hoffa and Osivia looked at each other, they walked slowly on the rocky floodplain.

The cold lake water quickly submerged Hoffa's feet, his knees, and his waist. He stepped on the rugged pebbles, his palms were flat on the lake, and stopped.

He was familiar with the figure in front of him, and had just seen it a month ago.

It's a lake demon with brown hair, a charming and soft face, little crystals on his chest, and a huge fish tail underwater.

It's a girl lake demon. Just like last time, she came to Hoffa as if hearing some kind of call.

"are you ready?"

She still asked this time.

But this time Hoffa understood what she meant. It was a vehicle similar to a vanity dolphin, so he asked, "Can you take me there?"

"Yes, but I need to be paid."

The lake demon floated on the lake and said in an ethereal voice.

"What's the reward?"

Osivia asked. "Do you want us to praise you?"

The lake demon shook his head and looked at Hoffa quietly.

Hoffa: "The key, right?"

He took out the bracelet and coins.

"Wealth, fame, and one more thing."

The female lake demon said in an ethereal and ethereal voice.

Osivia took out the crown.

"right......"

She stared at the crown for a while without blinking, raising her slender white arms from the water and placing them in front of Hoffa, lowering her head, as if she were a queen waiting to be crowned.

Hoffa looked at the crown in Osivia's hand, took it, held it in both hands, and put it on the lake monster's head.

Afterwards, he grabbed her slender palm, put Aglaia's bracelet on her hand, and finally put the coin in her palm.

Under the dark moonlight, a silent ceremony ended silently.

The female lake demon looked at the three things on her body and nodded in satisfaction. Then, she held Hoffa with one hand and Osivia with the other.

"Take a deep breath," she said.

"Wait a minute," Hoffa said.

"What's the matter?" the Lake Demon asked.

Hoffa looked at Osivia seriously.

"You were like the Kamikaze squad last time, are you still that crazy this time?"

Osivia was taken aback for a moment, then pursed her lips, as if tasting something unusually bitter.

She didn't speak for a long time, so that the lake demon wearing the crown frowned impatiently.

Hoffa: "Osivia...?"

"Hoffa, I'm sorry for more than half a year. I am not a qualified friend, and my character is terrible. Moreover, I have hurt you more than once."

Osivia raised her head and said seriously:

"But if I can, I hope I can make up for my fault."

Hoffa bent down and covered his mouth.

"Wow, you can say such sensational things, I'm going to throw up." He straightened up and spit out his tongue at the lake monster.

"Take us away, I think maybe I need cold water to wake up."

The lake demon smiled slightly and leaned back.

Immediately, both of them were pulled into the lake by her at the same time.

In the cold lake water, the huge tail of the lake demon swings, and it drops to a depth of tens of meters in a blink of an eye. The darkness and water pressure around it are so quiet and mysterious.

There was a small bubble in Hoffa's mouth. He looked at the dark abyss underneath him, but he didn't feel too much water pressure abnormally.

He looked behind him and saw the lake monster's huge fishtail swinging in the water, above him.

Wait, is that up?

Maybe not.

Hoffa turned upside down, or the world turned upside down.

At this moment, he is no longer diving, he is rising, rising quickly and decisively.

There was a bright gleam in front of my eyes, the light in the darkness.

The bright light keeps zooming in.

Wow!

With a sound of water, the lake monster took the two of them out of the water and released his hands.

Hoffa looked around, couldn't help being shocked by what he saw before him.

The lake here is not black, but in a hazy white state, and they can see the bright stars above their heads. But I can't see the moon.

There was hazy water vapor everywhere, and the visibility was less than 20 meters.

Hoffa knew that he had come to another level of Hogwarts, the mirror world of this school.

"Be careful, he's back." After speaking softly, the lake demon turned around and made a huge splash of fish with his tail, and disappeared into the crystal clear white lake under his feet.

Hoffa and Osivia looked at each other, and the two slowly moved forward. Although Hoffa did not know how to swim, there was a strange magical power on the water that kept him from sinking.

After a while, his fingertips touched something hard, and after a fixed glance, Hoffa found that he had touched something hard, black, long, and thick.

A straight railroad track.

It just lays across the water, coming from an unknown place, and then leading to an unknown distance. It is the railroad track that he saw in that inexplicable illusion when he started school.

He touched the rails and glanced at Osivia.

The two climbed on the rails and slowly climbed up. At this moment, Hoffa seemed to have returned to the moment of school.

He stood on a huge mirror, and among the ripples under his feet, there was a thick railroad track.

At this moment, neither of them spoke, they walked forward slowly with solemn expressions.

Along the railroad tracks, not long after they saw a dark train carriage standing quietly above the water.

Under the carriage, there is a shimmering white stone. These things look like milky white crystals. They are white but heavy. Block by block, they form a place similar to a platform.

"Merlin Beard."

Osivia sighed softly, "This thing was definitely not built by ancient wizards."

Hoffa didn't answer, he squeezed his feet and glanced into the carriage. The carriage was empty and there was nothing.

"call."

He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his palms on the wizard's robe, his palms were sweaty, he pulled out his wand and retracted his head.

Stepping out of the car, Osivia patted him on the shoulder and pointed his finger far away.

"Hoffa, look."

Following her fingers, Hoffa saw a row of black lines in the misty water vapor.

After approaching, the two took a breath, and he realized that it was not a line at all, but a dense group of people.

Black people.

These people did not wear clothes, nor did they move or breathe.

They have their heads low, with pure black metal on their bodies, a large group of structures.

They knelt on one knee on the white water, facing one direction like a pilgrimage.

"Sure enough, hiding here, no wonder no one can find it." Hoffa muttered in a low voice.

Osivia grabbed Hoffa and stood in front of him: "Be careful."

The two remained vigilant for a long time, but the structures were like dead objects, motionless.

Hoffa looked in the direction of the pilgrimage of these structures, which was the center of the white lake.

A towering white island.

The two walked from the railroad tracks onto this shimmering white island, and water droplets fell automatically from them.

The island is small, only about 30 square meters, filled with milky white crystals, and there are four ten-meter-high statues around these crystals.

Hoffa recognized these statues at a glance.

Gryffindor with a sword

Slytherin holding an orb

Hufflepuff with a staff

And, Ravenclaw with a balance

The four statues looked solemnly at the center of the island.

There, Hoffa saw a towering white platform, and under the platform, there were densely piled scrolls of books.

Hoffa and Osivia looked at each other, and she looked at Hoffa pale.

The two slowly approached with shocked expressions.

Hoffa picked up one casually and looked at the name "Eternal Life. Bloodline Transformation".

Turning the pages of the book, a variety of mysterious and sharp red magic arrays rushed forward. The entire book was written in auburn ancient English, and the color was like dried blood. Hoffa touched the pages of the book, and the touch of his hands made him extremely uncomfortable.

Hoffa put down this one and picked up another "Taboo. Demon Transformation"

As soon as he opened it, he saw a hideous man's face. He was all naked. The pages of the book described the process of transforming the human body into a demon in detail, and the content made Hoffa's scalp numb.

He put down this book and picked up another book.

Put down again, pick up again

Put down and pick up.

"Eternal Life. Soul Split", "Taboo. Nightmare Shadow", "Taboo. Devil Call", "Rebirth. Bane of the Dead", "Rebirth. Corrupted Fog", "Taboo. Wandering in the Spirit World", "Shadow. Living Witch" Funeral", "Dark Shadow. Ghostly Shadows"...

While watching, he climbed up.

The entire hillside is densely packed with such secret techniques.

The more I watched, Hoffa's face became paler.

In the end, he put down the book and stood on a high place on the stone platform with Osivia, watching the hundreds of forbidden spells under him, surrounded by silence like stagnant water.

no doubt.

Forbidden Art Library.

right here.

This place is simply a paradise for dark wizards. Taking out any book in it is enough to cause a violent shock in the modern wizarding world. How much ancient dark knowledge is banned here.

"Where is the half-man king?" Osivia asked Hoffa weakly.

At this time, a gentle and hoarse voice came from behind them:

"The four founders want to destroy all of these forbidden techniques. They think that this will end the conflict between people. Innocent thoughts, in fact, conflict is the eternal melody of mankind."
