Chapter 24 Harry Potter 8
Carl looked at the pained Godric indifferently.
This pain has been with him since his father died and from the time he knew about it.But Carl has long since learned to mask himself with another emotion.In front of Salazar, he will always be the one who is somewhat self-willed but extremely attached to him.
Karl would never expose his pain and cruelty to Salazar.He tried to smile.
Clutching the locket on his chest, his weakness made Karl feel as if he was floating in the air.He was very tired, very tired, and the feeling of losing his vitality brought him endless fear, but no matter how his body trembled, Karl did not tell his brother the only secret left by his father.
Salazar only knew that his life was coming to an end little by little, but he didn't know that the ancestors of Slytherin had already researched a remedy.This method has strict conditions.Only blood relatives with a special connection can share life with the awakened ones through that huge magic circle.
No, it should be said that it is a unilateral dedication.
It was such an instinct that ran deep in Slytherin's blood.For the glory of the family and to keep the hope of the family, they can sacrifice everything, including their own souls and lives.
"Do you really think that our father died of grief because he couldn't accept the death of his mother?" Carl said calmly, "As the patriarch of Slytherin, how could he be so cowardly."
The young man's thin lips highlighted the cruel truth, "Salazar awakened too early... Thanks to this magic circle, my father lasted until he was able to control the family."
"A father cannot run the family, not because of his grief, but because of his weakness."
"My father sacrificed everything, life, status, and even personal honor and dignity for the honor of the family, and then he died and handed it all over to me."
"Gryffindor, tell me, how can I disappoint him?"
The blond young man looked at him quietly.In Carl's eyes, he saw a firmness like iron stone.
"Gryffindor, is this all your loyalty? Or are you hesitating, because sacrificing me has stained your justice..." Carl sneered.
"No..." Godric said in a low voice, "Pure justice means nothing to me. From the moment I kneel down to serve him, I am his exclusive knight."
"Salazar is my justice."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Carl handed him the locket that has been hanging around his neck. "It's different from sending life force before, this one is inlaid with the same magic circle, only this thing is also dyed with Sara. The final teleportation can only be carried out after checking the blood. Of course, it can only be done before the Feathered Serpent's blood fully erupts."
Godric took the locket numbly, his hands trembling slightly from his childhood education.He didn't think it was right to sacrifice one life for another, but his selfishness kept him from saying a word.
He clearly knew that if Salazar had the choice, he would never let Karl do it. He could also foresee that in the future, after Salazar knew about this matter, he might never forgive him as an accomplice...but...
Godric smiled wryly.Admit it, the balance in his heart has already tilted.Between Karl and Salazar, he chose Salazar.Even if he was resented, he didn't want Salazar to die like this.
What he had always believed in was no match for Salazar's safety.
Even when his thoughts were chaotic, his mind had already begun to imagine how to get Salazar's blood as quickly as possible... His actions had already surpassed his thinking and exposed his heart.
Forcing his wishes on Salazar, even sacrificing the innocent Karl, he turned out to be... such a despicable person.
The wizard's team began to gather.A chilling expression appeared on everyone's face, and countless people held their breaths in silence.
This is the last battle.
The years-long tug-of-war between the Holy See and the wizards has finally come to an end.As a fortress, Hogwarts continuously provides fresh blood to the battlefield, and the wizarding world is becoming stronger and stronger.And the constant attacks from various branches obviously drove the Holy See into a frenzy, desperately planning to attack on a large scale.
After this battle, it may be a long-lasting peace, or it may be the beginning of darkness... Many wizards raised their heads, looking for the figure in front of the team.
The back of Salazar Slytherin appeared at the forefront of the team as always, stable and powerful, as if he would never be shaken.I don't know when it started, but everyone has been used to staring at this figure and gaining strong confidence from him.
As long as this person exists in the world, they will be able to win.
"Godric, you came so late." Helga looked at the people rushing over in surprise, "Did something happen to Gryffindor?"
"No..." the haggard young man replied briefly, avoiding her sight.His hand unconsciously clenched the sword at his waist.
From the moment he received the news from Salazar, he knew that in this battle, Salazar would definitely go all out.The complete awakening of Feathered Serpent's bloodline... This deadline has come so quickly!
Closing his eyes, Godric's eyes became calm again, even with a hint of coldness.
Now that he has made a decision, no matter what the consequences are, he will not escape.
"I think...Godric is a bit strange today." Helga found Rowena with a worried look on her face.
"It's strange that he's not the only one." Rowena turned her head and looked at Salazar, who had the same expression as usual. "Karl didn't come to see him off for such an important battle..."
"Maybe it's nervousness?" murmured Helga. "Everyone's a little out of sorts."
Rowena smiled, patted her on the shoulder, and said firmly, "We will win."
.
Karl stood in the empty chamber.Godric had already left, and the servants in the entire Slytherin castle had been dispersed by him. At this moment, he didn't want anyone to disturb him.
Blood once again filled the entire magic circle.Karl drank a bottle of bitter potion, which temporarily stopped his dizziness.But no matter what kind of potion, it can't stop the loss of vitality.
It seemed to remind me of the countdown.
Carl looked calm.He didn't even go to see Salazar for the last time, just to make up his mind.Otherwise, just seeing that person's face would be enough to defeat all his persistence, weakly want to rely on him, and then hide behind Salazar and let him sweep away all troubles for himself.
Salazar had done just that for the previous 20 years.Now, it's his turn...
Karl knew better than anyone that he would die alone.
In countless dark nights, he used to tremble with fear because of this expectation, but now he is unexpectedly calm.There was even a smile on the corner of his mouth——
His life will flow on Salazar's body.
Is there anything happier than this?
.
In order to get ahead of the Holy See, all wizards are preparing to apparate.In order to save magic power and keep the team consistent, they decided to use the magic circle, and one person should be the eye of the circle to bear most of the magic power output.
Naturally, this person is Salazar who has awakened the Feathered Serpent's bloodline, and whose magic power is several times stronger than that of ordinary people.
A lot of magic power was lost... Godric clenched his fists, but said nothing.This kind of thing will undoubtedly speed up the time of the blood burst, and Salazar is really ready.
Once the Feathered Serpent lineage breaks out, its strength will increase significantly in a short period of time, and there is no need to guess the outcome of the battle with the Holy See.But this... this victory achieved with Salazar's blood...
In the concealment barrier, wizards quietly appeared outside St. Peter's Basilica.Looking at the last stronghold of the enemy who slaughtered them and humiliated them, many wizards showed deep-seated hatred on their faces.
But they had to stop.
As the last stronghold of the Holy See, St. Peter's Holy See has a defensive barrier that even Salazar can't advance.The layout of this layer of enchantment has consumed countless manpower and material resources of the Holy See, and it still needs the uninterrupted output of holy power from hundreds of devout priests to maintain it.Of course, its effect is also amazing.
The reason why St. Peter's Basilica has never fallen in hundreds of years of battle, and as the last line of defense of the Holy See and the center of faith, this enchantment is indispensable.
It can prevent the entry of all alien races.Whether it is a wizard, a vampire, or a werewolf, as long as the power flowing in the body is different from the holy power, this barrier will turn the person who touches it into ashes.
Even when the Holy See was at its weakest, with this layer of enchantment, they were able to hide in this last fortress and slowly accumulate strength.
However, enchantments are nothing but dead objects.It can distinguish strength, but it cannot distinguish people's hearts.
There was a mocking smile on Ryan's face under the mask.
He could feel Salazar's gaze resting on him, as cold as ever.
The so-called Holy Light Barrier, as long as a person with holy power passes through it, and then kills the priests who continue to provide holy power, it will naturally disappear.But as the most important enchantment of the Holy See, how could there be no guards around the priests who supported it.
Even if he was once the most outstanding head of the Knights Templar, I am afraid that there is only one ending under the siege of the guards.All he had to do was to destroy the defense of the Holy See as much as possible before he died.As long as the barrier is weakened a little, then...
Hmph, do we still have to rely on that guy for the rest of the matter?
Ryan looked up at the blue sky one last time.
To fight alone, to die alone, what could be more in keeping with his fallen man?
