Chapter 3075 Libation Bearer (6)

Pomona and Severus returned to the courtyard just now, looking for an entrance to the lower part by the light of the street lamp.

　Judging from the existing ruins, it was once a beautiful place, very Ravenclaw style.

Like a weeder, Pomona used a "whirlwind sweep" to clean up the dead branches and leaves. They were almost turned into ashes. When blown by the strong wind, they really turned into ashes, as if they had been here for tens of millions of years.

Slytherin's rest room does exist at the bottom of the lake, and it can be shown on the Marauder's Map made by Sirius.

Ouroboros is a "self-sufficient" closed system. It means "self-destruction" and "circulation" in ancient times. Assuming that there is a layer of camouflage bricks outside the entrance to the Slytherin lounge, the silver snake will It was destroyed and decomposed, and after people passed through it, it reorganized it. The door did not change at all, nor was it hidden. The wall tiles kept switching between destruction and "rebirth", forming a cycle. It was not a space. aisle.

Pomona glanced at the other end of the courtyard. Severus was facing away from her, but she felt that even if he turned his face, she wouldn't be able to figure out what was going on in his mind.

 In some respects, he is indeed a learned genius. For example, the flying technique he taught to the Death Eaters has not yet been cracked by "non-members".

When Nestor told Telemasco that he was not sure whether Odysseus was alive, Telemasco did not seem very eager. He even thought that Odysseus was dead, "It is impossible for him to When he returns again, the eternal gods have prepared for him the end of death and darkness."

 Telemasco had no relationship with Odysseus. Odysseus went to Troy not long after he was born, and later wandered on the sea for a long time.

If it is really difficult to understand Kant's theory, then you can find a simple method - find a role model worth learning from. Human nature has the intention to move values ​​from low to high, and role models show the deep desire of human nature from low to high. value intention.

The mysterious man was once a role model for many young people, and Regulus's bedroom was full of his newspaper clippings.

There was a same-sex couple in ancient Greece named Harmodios and Aristogeton. Their sculptures were removed by the Persian King Xerxes during the Persian War, and later the Greeks reshaped them. sculpture and placed it in the City Council, the second most important public place after the Acropolis.

They were so important because they proposed "equality before the law", which the Athenians were proud of and considered insulting when they learned that the Persian king had removed their sculptures.

 The example creates a kind of value preference, which is influenced by the example. Different people have different value preferences. In the community, this collective preference formed by the example is the core of the community...

 “Why are you in a daze?” Severus said suddenly.

“Has the Dark Lord’s preference for you aroused jealousy in others?” Pomona asked.

“How do you see that he prefers me?” He said with a smile, as if she had told a joke.

 “He taught you so much,” Pomona said.

"You are overthinking." Severus stopped smiling, "He taught me because I have value."

Pomona thought of many students who were still in contact with Dumbledore.

“Do you think I am as valuable to him as Scamander?” Pomona frowned.

 “You mean Dumbledore?” he asked.

"What about Remus Lupin? What's his value?" Pomona asked aggressively. "He's a werewolf."

"If you have time to worry about this, why not continue looking for the entrance." Severus said coldly, "You don't care about Miss Wharton anymore?"

 This made her very angry. The whirlwind became stronger and dust flew all over the sky.

 He actually avoided it!

Of course, normally this is a wise thing to do, but shouldn’t a gentleman rush in front of her and help the lady block the dust?

Then he took a few steps in one direction as if he didn't notice she was angry.

 “Come here.” He waved to her.

Pomona walked over and saw a wooden door. It was buried in ashes. If it hadn't been that time, it would still be covered up.

 They quickly cleared it out, then opened the door. After walking through a short dark tunnel, they stepped on the wooden floor.

This place may have been used as a warehouse. There was a lot of debris piled up, and the shelves on which things were placed were rotten and collapsed.

“The air is terrible,” Pomona said, covering her mouth and nose.

They continued to walk forward, and soon they heard the sound of water, and then saw a small waterfall.

 “This water circulates,” Severus said.

 “How do you know?” Pomona asked.

 “Want to make a bet?”

Pomona curled her lips and did not continue to argue with him on this issue.

There is a dock below the waterfall. The wooden dock is no longer usable, but there is still a boat dangling in the water.

"This is the Hogwarts ship." Pomona looked at it and said, "It's for picking up new students."

Severus didn't answer, and Pomona was curious, how did a girl like Kelly Wharton move a ship here?

They checked again and found that there was a fence at the entrance of the underground port. It had not rusted after being soaked in water for so many years. It seemed that the four braziers on the bridge were used to open it.

“There is obviously a shortcut, why is it so troublesome?” Pomona muttered.

"Because that's the main entrance." Severus suddenly said, "The Dark Lord will not go where we came in just now."

 “Do you want to keep going?” Pomona asked.

 He stopped talking.

  She had a feeling that he was afraid.

 Just like she was in the corridor before.

She took his hand and moved forward with him. Gradually, they heard the girl's cry.

Pomona's mind was buzzing as she thought about Myrtle and the second floor that was always flooded.

There was only one thought in her mind, and she would never allow the same thing to happen. When she walked a little further, she saw a downward staircase. At the end of the staircase was a sunken square square, where a Ravenclaw girl was standing. Squatting on the ground and crying.

Pomona was about to rush over, but was stopped by Severus. They hid in a corner.

"No, no," Kelly Walton choked, "I can't do that."

 Then Pomona heard a dirty snake whisper.

 “That’s up to you!” Kelly shouted.

After a while, a small silver-white snake emerged from Kelly's hair. It had a pair of ruby-like eyes.

It rustled something again, and Kelly started crying again.

"I don't want it, I don't want it..." Kelly sobbed, "I don't want to turn into a bone."

 “That’s too much!” Pomona muttered, trying to rush out.

"Find out what it wants her to do." Severus pulled her and said, "Destroy that thing, even if it escapes again..."

Pomona didn't listen carefully to what he said.

She felt like Kelly was being held hostage by gangsters now, and the gangster's weapon was pointed at her head.

If you act rashly now, it is likely to hurt Kelly, and since it is so flexible, it is likely to run away again.

 “What kind of hero is it to threaten a little girl?” Pomona scolded.

 “It was just a pen,” said Severus.

 “Never mind it.” She said perfunctorily, thinking about ways to rescue the “hostages”.
