Chapter 497 Godric
"who?!"

The moment Tom saw the figure flash past, Tom had already picked up his wand and chased after him.

The ancient castle of Hogwarts adds a strange tone like a ghost story in the night. The moonlight reflects on the corridor through the blue glass that has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, showing a A deep but unobtrusive light green, sprinkled on the armor standing by the wall, on the sculptures of gargoyles, on the candlesticks and wall lamps that have undergone countless aesthetic changes of the times, they are in the moonlight Waking up, some put a fire on each other's heads, some scratched their backs that had become stiff from standing guard during the day, this castle was even a bit more lively than during the daytime student activities, maybe this should be what the magic world should be look like.

But Tom didn't have time to take into account the beautiful scenery here. His eyes were fixed on the last reflection that disappeared at the dark end of the corridor ahead. A cloud of black mist rose from the hem of the school robe. The figure was so close that he might have heard it just now. All his conversations with Nelson.

"Okay, don't learn, learn to swim at night, right?"

Tom gritted his teeth, a small green snake squeezed out from the tip of the wand, and fell to the ground while running. It was so fragile that it was easily broken in two when it hit the ground, but the new body quickly disappeared. Emerging from the smoky section, just stepping over a fallen candlestick, there are already countless small snakes entangled together, making rustling sounds behind Tom, their new scales are in harmony with the old castle. The friction on the ground quickly strengthened and toughened, and without Tom's order, they were quickly dispersed to all corners, rushing in all directions from the wet pipes that no one had ever set foot in, and in the process, they continued to split.

Tom continued to chase towards the place where the shadow disappeared, and at the end of the corridor, a green light flashed away, but how could this kind of night travel student compare to Tom's knowledge of the castle?Even without the help of the community, he can quickly "catch and bring him to justice". As a boy representative, he has the power to punish this kind of brat who doesn't sleep well.

"caught you."

Tom sneered, the snakes had already smelled him.

……

"I think back then, when cold weapons were still the mainstream on the battlefield, a pair of excellent armor like mine was worth a lot of money."

The armor carried Alphard and Nelson side by side in the corridor. The thick shoulder armor took up most of the space, making the corridor narrow enough for several people to walk side by side. After seeing Nelson's After being exhausted, he enthusiastically took on the task of taking Alphad back to the dormitory. For it, such an opportunity for activities is extremely rare.

"But then the armor was useless. Only some cavalry would wear armor when charging, but those armors were as thick as cans and not beautiful at all. As for the embroidered pillows stabbing each other with foil swords, they were simply It’s a waste of the exquisite light armor you’re wearing.” The armor carelessly recalled the past, before listening to the armor’s speech, it was its special tone that attracted attention, and it was the first time Nelson noticed its voice, closing his eyes, a young man A loyal, vigorous, and brave warrior appeared in front of his eyes, "Speaking of which, since I came to Hogwarts, the time you called me was the first time I traveled far, but I arrived at a strange place place, I haven’t been able to see what the leaves outside look like, and they are still as green as I was at that time.”

Its tone is full of cheerfulness, as if it is recalling and savoring that rare outing, but Nelson heard a hint of depression from his tone, a weapon that should have been fought on the battlefield has been dusted like this. Even though it can always enjoy the top antique care, even though its value has doubled many times compared to when it was still on the battlefield, Nelson understands that what it misses is the dullness of the sword being cut on the armor sound.

"The blacksmith who made you must have been a powerful wizard," Nelson said. "It's unimaginable that an armor with a mind of its own could have been created so many years ago."

"Really?" The visor of the armor opened and closed, and seemed to be making a puzzled expression, "I don't remember, I should have just a set of well-made armor in the first place, right?"

"Don't you remember the great war you went through?" Nelson asked tentatively.

"You mean Merlin?" Armor shook his head, "I should be much older than him. Do you know Godric's Hollow? I woke up there."

"Godric's Hollow?" Nelson noticed the wording on the armor—waking up, "the valley named for the birth of Godric Gryffindor?"

"Is it because of this?" Jiajia shrugged, even shaking Alphard in his arms, but he slept so deeply that he even turned over, Jiajia couldn't help but said, "This kid, I'm afraid he still Thought his mother was rocking him, the first time I could see it, there was a lad who was just like him, but more mature, you probably know his name - Godric Gran Fendo."

"Gryffindor!" Nelson exclaimed.

"Calm down, calm down, don't lose your temper when you see an armor that has seen Gryffindor, there are many things in this castle who have seen them," the armor pushed Nelson on the shoulder, and said, "His magic The level is extremely high, and it can even wake up a pair of armor. If you ask me, even if you want to match him, you still have a long way to go."

"He is one of the four founders of Hogwarts, and of course I can't compare."

"Don't be blindly self-effacing. Every era has different definitions of being strong. For example, I think you are... uh, pretty handsome."

"If you can't make up a compliment, you don't have to say it."

"Just kidding," the armor let out a barbell-like laugh. "Let's continue talking about Gryffindor. This is an interesting story that is not mentioned in your book "Hogwarts—A School History."

"Then you have to talk about it, I'll help you wax it tomorrow."

"I was awakened by him. According to him, I have been in the Gryffindor family for a long time," the voice of the armor echoed in the empty corridor with the rough feeling of a weapon, as if in Softly reciting an epic poem spanning thousands of years, "He awakened me with some magical magic of his friend, and wanted to ask me for some skills with the sword, but I don't have any skills at all. I just woke up, even I don't even know why the armor has spiritual intelligence, let alone preaching and teaching, not to mention that the two-handed sword in my impression was not popular in that era at all."

"Don't you remember a little bit?"

"Yes, the partner who has fought side by side with you for many years must have some impressions," the armor continued, "Godric told me about my past. A long time ago, this valley was a barren land, but fortunately It is secluded away from the world, so many wizards who don't want to deal with Muggles moved here to settle down. The ancestors of Godric Gryffindor were one of them. They chose a piece of land near the swamp and spent Decades of effort have turned it into a fertile field. When they reclaimed the last piece of wasteland, they fished out a pair of rusty armor from the swamp. A knowledgeable person recognized my origin. It is said that It is a top style of ancient Greece, you may not understand the gold content, I can explain it to you, like—"

"I see." Nelson instinctively interrupted its boast.

"Oh, well then," the armor closed the top of the armor resentfully, and said in a low voice, "He hired the best craftsman in the village to repair me and put it at home, maybe because there is a pair of expensive armor at home, Gran The children of Fendo are not very fond of the magic wand that has just become popular in the British Isles. Instead, they are obsessed with dancing knives and sticks. They want to practice good swordsmanship and be qualified to wear me in the future. Tsk tsk, Some people wear the most precious armor in the world without knowing it, don’t cherish it, and even interrupt what others say—”

"I was wrong," Nelson interrupted it again, "I've come to wax you every week this term."

"It's not too bad, and it's not in vain that I was worried every day in those years, lest I fell asleep when you called," the mask opened again, and it said happily, "This tradition even affected Godric. Gryffindor, let him draw out a sword suddenly in a duel when wizards generally use wands. You have also used swords. I heard that you picked a pair of tricks from that old boy Grindelwald ? You must be able to appreciate this kind of unexpected pleasure."

"Uh... not too bad, it's just the waist." Nelson cursed in his heart, staying with the armor for more than 5 minutes, the way of speaking will converge to it, what kind of terrible magic is this!

"Godric's ancestors once wore me and fought side by side with Merlin, which is why his descendants admired me more and more. It seems that as long as they wear me, they will become a hero who can fight evil together with Merlin. It's a pity , only Godric did it in the end," the voice of the armor became more agitated, "You should know about the Dementor Rebellion, when he killed the Dementor with that sword, there seemed to be blood in my steel body Agitated, it seems that I was born to kill this kind of monster. I know how to tear off its black robe and dismember its magic power... You may not believe it, but I really have a kind of fate-like certainty, that is I don’t know if armor like mine has a destiny.”

"I believe." Nelson nodded earnestly, recalling what he had just seen, he thought this was the least bragging sentence of the armor.

"But... huh? Do you believe it? It's really rare. I thought you would sarcastically sarcasm your good brother who once protected you from the basilisk's fangs," Nelson wanted to scold him when the armor opened its mouth. He said to himself, "Godric has a friend who is also the founder of your Ravenclaw college. She is very interested in the ancient inscriptions on my body. After awakening me with magic, they even shouted the last Salazar Slytherin, who is good at ancient characters, deciphered it together, but then for some reason, Godric filled my inscription with silver powder. I thought it might be a dirty word, such as 'whoever stole my armor It's a ****' kind of curse."

Nelson looked at the body of the armor. Sure enough, as a luxurious armor, its decorations are too monotonous. If you look carefully, you can see some color differences at the joints of each part. Even if the silver powder filled 1000 years ago No matter how full it is, it will not be able to withstand the erosion of time.

"He told me that I have an unfinished mission on my body, but I don't even know what it is. Maybe the warrior who wore me and died in Godric's Hollow has unfinished business." Said the armor, "I heard that you are good at the history of magic. Maybe you can help me take a look when you have time. After all, it's disgusting to forget an important thing."

"I will," Nelson nodded. "I'm curious, too."

One person and one person have arrived at the quiet corridor in front of the Slytherin lounge. The portraits in the frame are all healthy. Nelson remembered that many stories he didn't want to experience started from here.

"No matter how many times I read this old boy, Slytherin's aesthetics are unique. How can anyone like to live in a basement?" The armor complained, Nelson felt a chill behind him, turned his head and looked, and the empty picture frame at the end of the corridor flashed She blinked, "Speaking of which, there is something that is not in the history of magic textbooks. You may be interested. Thinking about it now, I really feel a sense of fate."

"what?"

"I forget a lot of things, but I still remember Godric's Hollow, it's called Godric's Hollow," the armor said softly, "but Godric told me that before his ancestors moved there, it was just a piece of land with no name. Barrens, even you said it was named after his birth, you say coincidence? I guess long ago, when I first went there, it was called Godric's Hollow, but then The people there did not know why they moved away, and the people who migrated to the valley gave it exactly the same name after a thousand years. I don’t know what the special meaning of this word is, it’s very similar to the one you wizards like to study. A reincarnation of fate."

This sentence was like a jingle, which made Nelson even more dizzy. He wrote down this sentence and took Alphard.

"purely."

Nelson said softly to the door of the lounge, the door slowly opened, he turned his head, and said goodbye to the armor, "Thank you for sending us back."

"By the way, it should be."

……

At the same time, Tom was in trouble that kept him from going back to bed. He was in a secret passage that he had never set foot in, and the student he found out at night knew more about the castle than he did.

What's more troublesome is that the scattered snakes brought different news. There are two night walkers who are at the two ends of the secret road.
