Hogwarts: more magic than magic

Chapter 124 Blood Rose
Everyone listened carefully to her narration, for fear of missing any word, even Qiz was no exception.

"The blood rose was originally a rose flower that bloomed in the sea of ​​blood on the mountain of corpses. It needs to be watered with blood and thorns. Her blooming is often accompanied by countless deaths and killings.

Because I don't like killing very much, I have been refusing to face this reality, always avoiding my fate.But now I have finally figured it out, the moment I choose the blood rose, it will always be with me, this is an inescapable fate, even if I don't kill it myself now, it will show up in front of me at an unexpected time in the future.

If I don't have enough power when it's revealed next time, maybe those closest to me will be a part of it too.This is what I don't want to see. Only when I have enough strength can I choose not to kill, instead of blindly avoiding killing like before. "

"So do you have an epiphany? You realized that you have to 'face' your fate, and thus you found the path to take?" Qiz recalled how he found himself under the erosion of the black mist and realized his next path. It seems to be similar to Blanca's current state.

"Yes, and no! It should be more than that. When you reach my level, you will understand that promotion is not only dependent on exercise and comprehension, but also requires some special rituals.

Wait, did you just say the road?Give me your hand! ", she said as she sat up from the ground, grabbed Qiz's hand again, looked at his face seriously, then closed her eyes and felt something carefully.

A burst of red light centered on Blanca and Chiz's hands, spreading out in a spherical shape, and then blood-red thorn patterns spread from Blanca's hand to Chiz's hand, and a red rose the size of a human head bloomed above their hands.

Keiz subconsciously twitched his hand, but didn't twitch.

Soon, Blanca opened his eyes again, and all the visions disappeared at this moment.

"It seems that you have found your own path to go next, and the rank of Grand Knight is already in sight, I am very pleased!"

"This is?"

"You can think of it as a new ability that I have acquired. I can detect whether the knights have found their way!"

"Kind of cool! Looks like some kind of magic!"

"Yeah! It's like magic. Above the great knight, you can actually be called a different kind of magician." She said with a bright smile, "It's my luck, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood here have indirectly helped me, and I don't need to kill lives myself. Otherwise, I don't know how many lives I have to kill at this point!"

Qiz heard something important from her words, "So when everyone advances to the Grand Knight, will they need to use so many corpses to complete a certain ceremony like you?"

Blanca hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That's not the case. When you get promoted to a great knight, the genre you get is different, and the rituals required for promotion will also be different, but being a knight is inseparable from fighting and killing."

"Is that so! Blanca! What is the name of the great knight?", Keiz continued to ask.

"Did you forget our previous agreement? As I said, you will know when you really advance to the Grand Knight."

"And you are the same! Don't be affected by the various negative emotions brought about by the black mist. Get out of it as soon as possible so that you can see the way to go next. Otherwise, even if you complete the task, the Heroic Spirit Stele will not have any response to you."

"Yes! Boss Blanca!" Everyone cheered after he finished speaking.

After they quieted down, Blanca continued, "You can keep these insights of mine in your heart. Maybe you will be different from me when you break through to the Great Knight in the future, but these experiences are always the same. Knowing a part can save you many detours."

"Thank you!" Keiz said to her from the bottom of his heart.

Blanca raised her hand and rubbed his head, but didn't say anything more to him.

"Is it enough to rest? If it is enough, let's go in together and see what ghosts and monsters are hiding inside!"

After speaking, he took Qizi's hand again and walked into the iron gate, and everyone followed behind and entered one by one.

Even though they had glanced briefly when they entered before, they were still shocked by the sight in front of them when they entered again, speechless.

There are too many corpses piled up here, and it is completely impossible to estimate how many people died.

Keiz walked to the edge and picked up one of the leg bones. Judging from the weathering marks on it, this person must have been dead for at least hundreds of years.

"Look! These bones must have been hundreds of years ago, and the ones in the middle near the altar should have died not long ago, at least before the mutation occurred in the secret realm."

"Who killed so many people here in a frenzy!"

"Yeah, it's really cruel!"

"Um……"

They chattered and discussed later.

Just as they were discussing, Blanca took action.

What happened next shocked everyone.

I saw blood-red thorns quickly covering her whole body, and a round crimson ball of light spread out to the entire underground space centered on her.

After covering the entire space, in this range, countless blood-red thorns protruded from all directions out of thin air, and these thorns quickly covered all the corpses.

Blanca raised a hand and waved it lightly, her fingertips burst into dazzling red light, drawing a huge phantom rose in the air.

The thorns all over the corpse also gave birth to flower buds, and countless roses bloomed. These roses swayed slowly, and gradually scattered all the petals in all directions, and the corpse pile was buried by countless petals.

The huge rose in the sky slowly turned into crimson light spots and sprinkled over the entire space.

Then all the rose petals melted, turning into this sea of ​​red blood.

These flowing blood seas also began to disappear slowly, until the corpses below were reappeared. These corpses had been completely dyed red, and the thorns on them still existed, but they were not obvious.

An even more shocking thing happened. The corpses on the ground began to tremble continuously. The broken bones automatically joined together, and the scattered skeletons reassembled into a complete human form.

They all got up by themselves!

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, and Qiz was no exception. They gradually retreated to the door again.

"what 's wrong?"

Blanca turned around with a little helplessness and smiled at them, staggering and about to fall down.

Seeing this, Qiz rushed up to support her, and hurriedly took out a bottle of vitality supplements for her to drink again.

"This is my new ability! Doesn't it look scary?"

"It's just a horror!" Qiz's scalp was still numb, his muscles were stiff, and he resisted the urge to run away.

No one can bear to see this scene!Those guys are now facing them straight up one by one. Although they are motionless, being stared at by tens of thousands of red skulls still makes people feel dizzy.

"My ritual is officially complete! Now I can manipulate them to do anything for me!

This is the real blood rose!

In the future, they will also become my subordinates, and as I become stronger, they will even regain flesh and blood and become complete 'human beings'! "

Blanca's eyes were a little absent-minded, "It looks disgusting, doesn't it? I just know it will be like this and I always dislike my chivalry, although it is very strong! It is also the power my father desires most."

Keiz shook his head quickly, "It's so cool! I want to learn it! You know what? You look like a powerful necromancer now!"

"Sorry, I can't teach you!" Blanca shook her head, still feeling a little depressed.

"It's okay! I know you have difficulties, be happy! At least as you said, you already have the ability to fight against fate, don't you?"

"Not yet..." Branca hesitated to speak, then twitched the corners of her mouth, showing an ugly smile. "That's right! With these fearless dependents, at least we have a better chance of getting out alive, isn't it?"

"That's right!" Keiz also laughed.

"Do you still have the potion you gave me? Give me more, I feel so depleted."

"Yes! If you need it, just ask, I still have a lot." He handed all the remaining vitality tonics from his pocket to Blanca, "There are a few bottles of these vitality tonics in the potions I gave you earlier, remember to look for them."

"Thank you! By the way, what is a Necromancer? Why have I never heard of this kind of wizard? Are they also a kind of wizard?"

"Ah! Yes! Maybe! I don't know much about it either. I saw the name in an ancient book that said they could resurrect and control corpses to do things for themselves.

Maybe their names will appear in some horror novels, but they are all perverted villains. In the stories, they will also launch the undead Scourge from time to time, which is used to transform the dead and eliminate all living people.

But now there should be no sign of them in the magic world, maybe they have long since disappeared in the long river of time. "

Qiz thought for a while, it seemed that there was no such thing as a necromancer in this world, he was a little embarrassed, and could only panic in a serious manner.

"Is that so? That's really similar to my ability. Then do you think I will become a terrible necromancer." Blanca didn't have too much doubt, after all, she didn't know much about the history of wizards.

Keiz twitched the corner of his mouth, how should he answer this?

"Of course not! How could the handsome, strong and kind Blanca become those disgusting necromancers!"

"I love to hear that! . . . "

After resting for a while again, her subordinates gathered around again after seeing that the group of corpses did not move.

"Boss! What's going on here?"

"...", Blanca explained to everyone again.

After the people around listened, they all showed admiration and admiration, and the eyes almost burst out of light.

Seeing that they were very encouraged and did not show any disgust, Blanca also felt relieved and returned her attention to this underground space.

"This underground space is definitely not formed naturally! I can feel the traces of magic on the monster image on the dome. The monster painted on it should have been able to move before!", Chiz spoke first.

"I can also see that the number of these corpses is astonishing. My field tells me that there are a total of 450 people here! And judging from the bones, most of them are adults."

Hearing this, everyone gasped again.

"I think..." Keez said, "this place is for sacrifices."

"Sacrifice? For whom?"

"That statue! Or the monster above our heads!" Keiz pointed to the statue in the center, and then pointed to the portrait of the monster above the dome.

"Merlin's beard, you mean...you mean..." Someone tremblingly answered, "These people are all sacrifices? That's too many, some people have continued to sacrifice here for hundreds of years!"

"I'm not sure, hey, who knows! Those dark wizards hiding in the dark are dirty and evil, they can do anything!", this person seemed to have a certain understanding of the magic world, and expressed his opinion.

Blanca frowned in thought, before speaking again after a long time. "Lucia never said that there have been a large number of disappearances or deaths in the British wizarding world for hundreds of years, and it is impossible to accumulate so many corpses even during the Wizarding Wars.

These people are also unlikely to be the aborigines of the secret realm itself, the number is too large, and it is impossible for this secret realm to support such a large population. "

"Muggle!" Keiz replied with a gloomy expression.

"what?"

"I mean these people are all ordinary people! I didn't find any wizards in them! So I guess they must have been transported in from the Muggle world."

"Then who did such a heartless thing?"

"I don't know! But there is a high probability that it has something to do with the Fuli family. After all, this secret realm is their lair. It is impossible for someone to hide in their lair for hundreds of years and do evil without them knowing!"

"Shut up!" Blanca suddenly growled.

"Kiz! Bury this in your heart for the time being! Don't tell anyone! And you, if you can get out alive this time, you must rot everything you saw here after you go out. We have never encountered this castle, nor entered this underground space, have you heard?"

Blanca warned everyone with a livid face.

"When you become the great knights, no... it's better to be rotten in your heart forever."

"Yes!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded in unison.

Only Qiz asked in surprise, "Why?"

Blanca just shook his head, "It's better that you don't know some things, just remember what I just said, before you have enough power, even if you become the Minister of Magic in the future, don't tell anyone about this! Do you understand?"

"Okay!" Chizz nodded, and whispered close to Branca's ear, "Do I need to erase their memories when we go out? After all..."

Blanca pursed her lips and just nodded.
