A Magical Hogwarts

Vol 7 Chapter 136: Scam!

The Washington Monument in the United States emits a dazzling white light, shining like a treasure in the darkness.

Whether Muggles or wizards, as long as they are in Washington, D.C., they can sense this power.

They raised their heads… stared blankly at the dazzling light.

The breeze came slowly, and the countless words swayed slightly from low to high.

Soon someone saw three figures appearing on top of the spire.

It’s just that the light is too bright, and the shadows are so vivid that I can’t see the face clearly.

Standing on the top of the obelisk, William looked around.

As the tallest building in Washington, the view from such a view is particularly spectacular.

He didn’t observe too much, and quickly looked down. At the feet are the peaks of the obelisk, wrapped in a small circle of aluminum foil.

This is normal. In those days, aluminum was more precious than gold.

At that time, Napoleon III specially made an aluminum crown. Even Napoleon III and his royal family members and noble ministers are eligible to enjoy aluminum cutlery.

On that small piece of metal, there is also an inscription:

lausdeo!

“lausdeo…”

Hermione, who had studied Latin, pondered for a moment, then muttered, “Praise God?”

As a wizard, she actually wanted to translate it into: Praise Merlin.

William felt that… this **** did not refer to the “God” of Muggles, nor was it the Merlin of wizards.

It’s the God of Death who is everywhere, yet everywhere.

Praise the **** of death!

After all… the prehistoric mysteries are hidden here.

Of course, William was sure that the lost power was hiding here, not because of this inscription.

It was because, standing on top of the Capitol earlier this evening, he accidentally saw something familiar.

William looked down from the spire, and soon found the statue on the wall of the obelisk:

An old-fashioned, monkey-like face, with a long, sparse beard that almost dragged to the hem of the wizard’s robes.

See the Slytherin statue again!

This is already the third Slytherin statue that William has seen after the secret room and the root cave of the snake wood.

It was because of it that he was basically certain that his power was hidden here.

Yes, it can only be hidden here.

The Washington Monument is the origin of the cross in Washington, D.C.

The whole square is centered on it, and the four arms extend out, like the four-square reference pointer on a compass.

It is both the center of the capital and the undisputed center of power in the United States!

If he had to choose a place to store that power, William would also choose this obelisk.

“Are you going to take it away?” Hermione looked down at the monument and said as a matter of course, “Pack up the entire monument and bring it back to England?”

Traene on the side was stunned.

This is the Washington Monument, one of the most important buildings in the United States.

Not to mention the importance, the height alone is 169 meters high.

And why did Hermione’s tone sound more like picking up inconspicuous garbage on the roadside?

Well, Hermione’s good habit of “Operation Disc” was obviously familiar to William.

If it was before, William agreed and packed the obelisk and brought it back to England.

But at this moment, he was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head:

“We don’t take this power away, it’s probably just a scam.”

“Scam?!” Hermione was puzzled. “Isn’t this the power left by Slytherin?”

William looked at the night in the distance and said softly, “Maybe, maybe not, but there is definitely something wrong with this power.”

Hermione tilted her head and looked blank, thinking about what details she had overlooked.

William quickly explained:

“It’s normal that you don’t remember, that was five years ago, when I first met Professor Babelin…”

At that time, William entered the time loop for the second time.

He wanted to learn ancient Rune, so he went to Babelin.

William whispered: “At that time, Babrin told me that the original meaning of the ancient rune was important, not the translation of it.

Because one word, one mistranslation, is enough to rewrite history.

for example……”

The expression on William’s face was extremely serious:

“The image of Slytherin was originally recorded only in the Slytherin family, but it was all in the form of ancient runes.

Later, Corvinus Gaunt translated this part into Latin.

But he mistranslated ‘Slytherin’s face seemed to glow’ as ‘His face was like a monkey’.

Since then, all Slytherin images have been a monkey face. ”

At that time, William was not deeply involved in the magic world, and he didn’t pay much attention to this mistake, he just thought it was a small academic problem.

But after encountering the Slytherin statue many times, William slowly realized that something was wrong.

Very wrong!

Hearing his words, Hermione was also keenly aware of what she remembered, and she said with a look of astonishment:

“If Slytherin doesn’t look like that, then the Slytherin statue in the secret room, and that secret room sanctuary…”

“That’s right!” William stared into Hermione’s eyes, nodded and said:

“The secret room is real, and so is the basilisk.

But in the secret room, the secret room sanctuary that Tom found is probably a fake. ”

Back then, after Tom was resurrected from the diary, he found the so-called Sanctuary in the Slytherin statue in the secret room.

And… Slytherin’s notes.

It was with the notes that he came to the United States, looking for the Slytherin wand and prehistoric mysteries.

But the problem is that since the statue is fake, the so-called sanctuary of the secret room must also be fake.

At least, not from Slytherin.

He is even less likely to do what Tom said: to study magic, think about life, observe the universe, time and space, and even reflect on death in that room.

And…leave thick notes.

It’s all a scam!

So, who set this up?

Countless evidence suggests that Corvinus Gaunt discovered the Chamber of Secrets earlier.

Not only did he repair the plumbing at Hogwarts, he also covered it up.

He was the first person to get the Slytherin look wrong.

The statue and the room inside the statue were probably left by him.

Of course, Slytherin may indeed have kept notes.

After all, Tom disbanded the Horcrux community according to the magic in his notes, this can’t be faked…

But Gaunt was able to find the secret room, and even more the notes, but he didn’t take it with him.

And deliberately created a so-called sanctuary of secret rooms, forged to be a place for Slytherin to study, and left notes in it…

This is very bad intentions.

The most reasonable explanation:

He deliberately modified the content~www.readwn.com~ to lure latecomers to find prehistoric mysteries and magic wands.

The content of the notes, true or false… Only then can people be deceived!

And the proof is: on the wand and the obelisk, there are statues of Slytherin.

It can only be said that he originally wanted to enhance the authenticity, but the small details were wrong, which gave William reason to doubt.

What do you think, there is a conspiracy here!

Although this Gaunt is Babel’s father, when William met, he probably had to call him uncle… but we’re going to be one size at a time.

Anyway, this powerful force seems to be full of temptation, but it is actually full of poison.

William wouldn’t dare touch it!

Whoever loves to touch whoever touches!

Then again, Tom has been looking for it all the way, and this power is probably reserved for him on purpose.

Unfortunately, Tom not only found the wrong place, but also died.

William has some feeling: this tool man died too quickly.

Brother must buy the paper version of the Washington Monument and burn it for you in the first seven!

If you want to hate, just be very Voldemort, don’t look for me again.
