Chapter 303 A Conversation Between Three Old Friends

"It just so happens that we are talking about a topic you are good at." Ravenclaw smiled and looked at Les on the table, his tone as cordial as if he had met an old friend who had not seen each other for a long time. As for why the old friend appeared in a small puddle on the table, and only his face was left, it had nothing to do with her.

"Do you think there is any good way?" Rowena repeated Helga's distress and asked Les to use his brain to think about whether there is a solution.

Les closed his eyes and began to think seriously. Soon, a series of bubbles began to gurgle in the small puddle where he was.

"What is Salazar doing...?"

"He is thinking."

Helga:?

Looking at the string of fine bubbles, Helga felt that Salazar seemed to be really thinking about the problem very seriously - the small puddle where he was was almost boiling!

After thinking with full power, Les found the solution to the problem in a short time.

The reason why the two of them hadn't thought of a solution was that they wanted to visualize the talent of magic - they wanted to make a crystal ball so that students could automatically sense the talent value by putting their hands on it, but this was unrealistic.

But in the final analysis, Helga just wanted to find those children who were born good at controlling magic from the students of Hufflepuff College, and then choose her heirs from these children based on their character.

Then wouldn't it be enough for me to just find those students with good talents? And judging from Helga's meaning, she didn't want to publicize this matter in a big way, so she just put a layer of cover-up on it.

Then I really have an idea!

"How about this..." Les shared his idea with his two old friends.

They could make a marble that would move only when driven by magic, and then put it in a box maze to see how long it would take for the students to use magic to drive the marble out of the maze.

Obviously, for most students, the marbles in this maze box are stuck. Only a few students who are quite talented in magic control can master the trick unconsciously. Rice wants to select such people.

At the beginning, he, Helga and Rowena all walked into a dead end, but it was very simple to change the angle.

Although I can't show how good your talent is, I can just eliminate those with poor talent.

After listening to Rice's words, Helga looked as if she had suddenly realized: "As expected of Salazar, he found a reliable solution in one go!"

Rice didn't answer, but the puddle behind his head gurgled and a string of bubbles came up.

Ravenclaw didn't say much, but started to try to build the device described by Salazar.

Soon, she made a beautiful little wooden box with a hole in the middle of the wooden box and a bead stuck in the upper left corner. Only magic can push the bead.

"I reduced the difficulty a little bit and didn't make a maze. Students can pass as long as they can use magic to push the beads into the hole." Ravenclaw handed the box to Hufflepuff.

Helga took the box and played with it for a while, and found that it was indeed as Rowena said, only magic could make the beads roll, and no other method would work.

Seeing this, she was overjoyed: with this box, she could do a "rough screening" of the students.

Because of his valuable suggestions, Rice also obtained the power of "transfiguration" and was allowed to move from "on the table" to the table.

"You came to me today, didn't you just want to make a box?" Rowena glanced at the two old friends, feeling that they must have other purposes.

After Helga told Rowena about her capture of the nightmare demon in the Forbidden Forest, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: In your mind, am I such a person?

Helga, Salazar: Of course.

Although Rowena was quite dissatisfied with her old friends' distrust of her, she still told them honestly that this dream demon had nothing to do with her.

"Really? Actually, if... it doesn't matter, we just need to fix the seal." Les considered the wording and spoke the truth.

"Yes, yes." Helga chimed in.

"Can people have a little trust in each other?!" Ravenclaw slammed the table hard: "This dream demon has nothing to do with me!"

Seeing Ravenclaw's appearance, Les could only choose to believe her - otherwise she would have to convince herself in other ways.

"Then things are a bit troublesome." Hufflepuff told Rowena the meaning behind this matter.

Ravenclaw was silent for a while.

After a moment, he said faintly: "The new millennium is coming."

Les and Helga frowned at the same time.

Ravenclaw continued, "The shadow of the world becomes active every thousand years. Maybe this is the reason - the dream demon accidentally ran from the shadow space to the real world through a crack."

"It's almost time, but we did leave a complete seal back then..." Les's brows wrinkled into a knot.

"A thousand years have passed, Salazar. If I really trusted those seals, I would not have chosen to die here." Ravenclaw tapped the ground with his foot.

Everything has a shadow, and the real world is no exception. The projection of the real world in space was called the Shadow World by the wizards of Rice's time, and it was the birthplace of dark creatures.

Thousands of years ago, there was no boundary between the Shadow World and the real world. Later, as time went by, a vague boundary gradually emerged. After Rice and his team dealt with the Norse gods, they took the opportunity to clarify the boundary and separate the Shadow World from the real world - the most obvious benefit of doing so is that there will be no more large numbers of undead breaking into the world of the living on Halloween.

However, nothing is absolute, and Rice and his team cannot completely cut off the shadows, so there are still several connection points between the two worlds, and the Hogwarts dungeon is one of them.

They originally imposed a lot of seals on those connection points to prevent dark creatures from running into the real world, but according to Rowena, perhaps there are problems with those seals.

This situation should not have happened. They had considered this problem before, and what they left behind was a permanent seal that was self-sufficient in magic circulation.

When he thought of this, Les's mood became much heavier.

"Don't worry, there will be basically no waves during Halloween now, right? This shows that the means we left behind are still effective. You can just go and check it out when you have time." Ravenclaw's words livened up the atmosphere.
