, the fastest update I went to the latest chapter of Hogwarts, who was spotted by Grindelwald!

Dark green vines crawled around every corner, the stone beam seemed to be part of the original gate of the castle, and the dark hole was the original position of the gate.

It's hard to imagine what happened here for hundreds of years, making the originally tall entrance and exit look like this.

"Tergeo" Sean's spell removes moss and dirt from a boulder.

Only then did he realize that this was not a rock rolled from somewhere, but a huge stone that was neatly cut, at least it used to be.

This hole was blocked by a boulder that was originally used as a city wall, and this is obviously not something that time can do.

Sean immediately thought of the baroness in that document.

The baroness killed Baron Skinner and absorbed the blood from the baron's body, but the baroness didn't have enough ability to support the huge force, she turned into a blood cell and exploded, dying on the spot.

The explosion destroyed the estate and killed most of the life in the area.

Is it so powerful... Sean frowned.

This abandoned castle occupies a rather large area. After all, Baron Skinner and the Baroness were wizards at the time, and it was not too difficult for them to build huge buildings.

Moreover, near the old castle, you can also see the remains of some former human buildings.

And the death of the baroness directly destroyed such a large place, which is not something that an ordinary wizard in the thirteenth century could do.

Sean's mood became a little heavy. He knew that this was the power of the blood pact magic.

"Ultimate armor protection (protegomaxima

Putting a defensive spell on himself, Sean raised his wand and walked into the hole.

More than half of the castle had collapsed, and it was a little difficult for Sean to walk, but there were indeed people here, because many buried places had been cleaned up, and the traces were all new.

This is probably the road Dumbledore once walked...

Sean walked in a direction he could barely discern.

The depths of this ancient castle that has been abandoned for several centuries are even more gloomy, with collapsed stone walls, rusted and deformed lamp stands, ubiquitous vines, and the quiet, creepy atmosphere.

"Crack—" There was a crisp sound from the soles of Sean's feet.

He looked down and saw half a bone that was weathered and out of shape.

"Reparo (reparo)—sorry, man."

Moved the repaired leg bone of whoever was unlucky to the side, and after two more steps, Sean finally found the place he was looking for.

It was the entrance to a basement, and apparently, Dumbledore had already entered it too.

Entering the basement, the smell of damp mold immediately hits the face.

"Dude, clean it up for me—" Sean squeezed his nose and opened the ring, and a shiny head poked out.

The growth rate of magical animals is unexpectedly fast. When the little airwing bird was born, it was only the size of Sean's fist, and now it has grown several times.

"Wow—(Have you eaten yet Airwing called happily to Sean.

The intellectual development speed of magical animals seems to be much faster than that of humans. It has only been a few months, and Sean has been able to use the beast whisperer and airwing to communicate.

However, Airwing's goal in life is to eat...to eat.

In the future, Dave can't keep playing with this little guy... Okay, don't learn, just learn from the idiot.

"You will be notified of the meal time, come, help me to breathe here."

Airwing birds will inhale the nearby air when they change postures, and this means of survival obviously has other uses—airwing birds can filter out almost all harmful substances in the air, using their magic Filtering organs and miraculous cuticles.

Although the little guy is greedy, he still listens to Xiao En's words.

The airwing bird opened its mouth wide like a pelican fishing, and the skin on its chin and neck swelled rapidly.

Then, like an exhaust fan, it sucked a mouthful from the basement to the outside, and took a breath to the outside. It didn't take long for the air in the basement to become much fresher.

"Nice job." Sean praised, "Ultimate fluorescent flash (lumosmaximum

Dazzling **** of light drilled out from the tip of the wand. Sean swung it vigorously, and the **** of light floated around one after another.

The whole picture of the dark basement was also displayed in front of him.

When the old castle was turned into ruins, it didn't seem to affect this place too much. Except for some gravel beside the basement wall and bookshelves that had aged and collapsed long ago, the place still roughly preserved its original appearance.

There are dusty crystal bottles, accidentally unrusted cauldrons, weathered and disfigured spellbooks, and even a few broomsticks with only their rods left.

It's like a witch's workshop in a medieval novel.

And in the center of the inner wall of a room, there is a secret door that has been opened.

From the secret door to the entrance to the basement, there is a slightly darker trace.

Perhaps it was through that secret door that Baron Skinner was discovered by his wife about the betrayal contained in the Blood Pact, and then he was dragged out...

Sean slowly approached the secret door, trying to find some useful information here.

It's a pity that in the small room entered by the secret door, except for a stone platform in the center, nothing else was found.

Maybe it was taken by some researcher, maybe Dumbledore took it...

Sean was not too disappointed, this was something he had thought of before coming.

The point is, what did Dumbledore see here...

And Xiao En, who was looking around, finally found something on the stone platform engraved with strange brands.

"This is..." Sean picked up a fine metal particle with his fingertips.

He continued to search, and found many grains in various hard-to-find corners. These grains range from light silver to dull blood red, and it seems that the color has not faded due to the years.

"This..." An idea popped up in Sean's mind.

He pointed his wand at the particles: "Reparo"

The gathered particles shook for a bit.

For items that are too old to be broken, the effect of the repair spell will be greatly reduced...

But as long as it doesn't have an effect... Sean's eyes lit up.

"Reparo"

"Reparo"

"Reparo"

…

After throwing more than 30 repair spells in succession, the fine particles finally reacted.

They slowly floated up, and then converged toward the center, and even some particles that Xiao En didn't find jumped out from other places.

The particles were combined slowly, and finally, an incomplete pendant appeared before Xiao En's eyes.

The pendant still looked broken, and it seemed that it was only reluctantly put together. Not only that, there were some gaps everywhere in the pendant, which were fragments that could no longer be found.

It's just that Sean's attention has been completely focused on the shape of the pendant.

The entangled chains, the silver shell with complicated patterns, and the blood-red particles that Sean found before are not gem fragments at all, but the center of the entire pendant... blood...

This pendant is so similar to the blood alliance token of Dumbledore Grindelwald!

Was the blood pact that Baron Skinner and the baroness made back then a blood pact? !

No way, my guess... seems to be coming true...

Sean's breathing became heavy.

But before he could think any more, a gloomy and sad voice suddenly sounded.

"I really miss... the appearance of this thing..."

There can't be any living people here... Sean turned his head abruptly.

A pearly white phantom was floating in mid-air, looking intently at the pendant with his melancholy, sad eyes.

A flat felt hat, a half-round cloak, a robe resembling ancient Roman clothing, pantyhose, and calfskin boots. This typical 13th-century aristocratic attire made Sean instantly recognizable. This middle-aged man with curly hair and beard identity.

Lord Skinner...

Lord Skinner was haggard, with shriveled skin and a gaping, shrinking hole in his chest, but he felt no pain anymore, only sadness.

Not returnees, but normal ghosts, Sean judged.

"Skinner?" he asked.

Baron Skinner was still staring blankly at the pendant restored by Sean, and after a while he looked at him and said in a heavy and sad voice: "Yes, yes... This is the disgraceful Skinner..."

"You've been wandering here in a ghost state?" Sean looked at the other party.

Baron Skinner was still immersed in grief, he nodded sullenly: "Yes, yes... I didn't want to communicate with anyone, but you restored this pendant, it's me and Corina..."

At the mention of Corina's name, Skinner immediately covered his head in pain.

Sean immediately realized that Corina should be the Baroness.

He was slightly puzzled. It was mentioned in the information that although Corina killed Baron Skinner, the real betrayer in the relationship between the two was Skinner.

Why does the ghost in front of me look so painful.

Betrayer's guilt?

Sean got closer to the other party: "Mr. Baron, what happened?"

Clearly in great pain, Skinner almost cried, "I am a shameful betrayer of my love for Corina...and I am a coward! A coward!"

I don't know if it's because I haven't communicated with anyone for so many years, but this ghost is extremely emotional.

"I, I...why am I deluded...I'm a beast...beast..."

Sean silently looked at Baron Skinner who had suddenly collapsed, and finally said: "However, Corina is dead, and you are dead too..."

Skinner collapsed and murmured lifelessly, "I deserve it all... but she didn't deserve it, she didn't deserve it..."

Sean grabbed the pendant in his hand, and the unrestored pendant shook off a few particles. Baron Skinner rushed over with wide-eyed eyes, but the debris passed through his palm and fell to the ground.

Sean glanced at him, without any emotion in his tone: "It can't be repaired."

The latter opened his mouth wide, and finally sat down dejectedly: "It can't be repaired..."

Sean imitated his appearance and sat down cross-legged: "Aren't you going to tell me?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he shook the pendant in his hand: "I can fix this pendant for you, and then put it here."

Baron Skinner stared blankly at Sean, and finally lowered his head dejectedly.

"Nothing new, just a story of a shameful betrayer..."

Sean frowned in Specter's decadent and regretful voice.

The story is really old-fashioned. Skinner and Corina were originally a couple who loved each other very much. In order to prove their love, they, as wizards, found a blood contract.

The blood bond binds the two firmly together, and they cannot hurt each other-this is not a problem for two people who love each other.

The problem is an ancient tome that Lord Skinner has found.

Skinner, who is keen on the study of spells, spent a lot of effort researching the book, and learned from it the real name of the blood bond he and his wife made: blood bond.

"Sure enough, Skinner and the baroness made a blood alliance..." Sean's heart became heavy.

From ancient times to the present, magic contains the power of emotions, including anger, hatred, and happiness, and of course love. According to records, the magic of love seems to have one thing in common, that is, the power of blood is used.

The blood alliance is like this. With blood as the medium, the two people who made the oath cannot hurt each other. As long as there is a little betrayal, the blood alliance will kill the betrayer.

"I, I found another function of the Blood Alliance, or rather, that is its real function—" Skinner pulled his hair painfully, "I was seduced by the great power in that description..."

In the Ministry of Magic's evaluation of the blood alliance, there is a sentence: "Under unimaginable risks, a huge price will be exchanged for a high return. This is the essence of the blood alliance."

Skinner's own notes also mentioned that "hate is based on love, equal exchange, great strength..."

Sean's breathing became heavy involuntarily, and he stared at the other party, almost urging him to ask: "What is the real function?"

Skinner whimpered a few times, whether it was cowardice or guilt, and he murmured: "There is another contract hidden behind the blood alliance..."

"Another contract?"

"Yes, yes..." Skinner lowered his head ~lightnovelpub.net~ and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Love is the most powerful force in this world. This is the consensus of many ancient magics... Other powers are slightly weaker, even hate... However, there is a power that is stronger than love and more terrifying... That is—"

"Hate born of the deepest love."

Sean's pupils shrank suddenly.

Skinner murmured: "To form a blood alliance, as long as one party... one party voluntarily gives up this love, deceives oneself with the most powerful memory magic, gives up this love, and leaves the deepest impression on the former lover. pain... I chose to do this..."

"When the blood alliance is shattered...the fragments are covered with the blood of hatred, and the new contract begins to take effect...At this time, call back your own love, and drink the blood of your lover who originally loved the hatred..."

Skinner looked up at Sean, no, it was the pendant in his hand, his eyes were lost, and there was endless regret in it.

"By your own hands... kill your lover with your own hands, let the hatred of your lover sprout in your love, and you will gain...endless magic power..."
