Edward explained: "This is a new ability I have acquired. You can understand that this is not the real Mirror of Erised now, but the Mirror of Erised that existed in the past time and space. ￠白-马/书+院- \已+發,布+最′芯,咬~洁?0?0\晓′税+旺` *追~蕞·薪~彰-踕·"

"It exists in the past...time and space."

Dumbledore shook his head with a sigh: "Oh, I think I understand how Muggles feel when they see magic."

Edward then looked at Audrey and said, "Audrey, when Lilith comes back, I will enter the Mirror of Erised. Don't leave Lilith's side for the rest of the time."

Audrey nodded seriously: "Understood."

"Edward."

Dumbledore said softly, "I remember that the previous times you came back, you regarded this place as a temporary safe haven, but this time you seemed very anxious. Is it because of that god?"

"Not really..."

Edward stared at the Mirror of Erised and said, "I just want to solve the secret of the 'Abode of the Gods' urgently..."

Wow!!!

There was a sudden thunderous cheer from the audience: "Snape! Snape! Long live Professor Snape! Professor Snape is so awesome!"

The eight images merged into one on the big screen in the air. Snape appeared expressionlessly on the screen. His face was magnified enough to make out every twitching eyebrow. The savior Harry stood blankly in the shadow of his billowing black robe, like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake.

"Uh, Professor, what's going on?"

Edward asked in surprise, "Isn't it the Final Four Tournament? Why did Snape teach him..."

"Oh, I changed the rules a little bit for this competition."

Dumbledore stroked his beard and said, "The protagonists of this tournament have changed from students from several schools to professors. Among them, Severus and Filius will appear from Hogwarts."

Edward was surprised and said, "Oh, I must say... this is really a unique and creative change."

Audrey asked curiously, "Then why is Harry there too?"

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and said, "The first game is to have eight professors from four colleges go to the depths of the Forbidden Forest to rescue the most important person to them, the so-called 'treasure'. ^咸~鱼`看^书` ,埂,鑫!醉,葵′"

Audrey was stunned: "Ah... So, Harry is the most important to Professor Snape... But, they... Oh, I see."

Dumbledore laughed. "Just like the mandrake always chooses the most unexpected pottery pot to take root, everything in the world is always so wonderful."

Edward almost couldn't help but give Dumbledore a thumbs up: You are such a talented person!

He suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Professor Dumbledore, I think the principals of the four major colleges should also participate in this competition."

"…"

Dumbledore was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "Do you want me to rescue Gellert? I don't mind, but the question is... who will be responsible for catching him and tying him up in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, like Sleeping Beauty, patiently waiting for the appearance of me, the Whitebearded Prince."

"Puff."

Audrey couldn't help laughing.

You are so free and easy, you dare to say anything.

"Oh, that's right."

Dumbledore suddenly thought of something, "Do you remember? The reward for this semi-final competition is Slytherin's notebook in the possession of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There is a high possibility that there are clues about the 'abode of the gods' in it."

At this point, he glanced at the Mirror of Erised and said, "Oh, so maybe you don't need it anymore, Edward."

Edward nodded and said, "Well, I plan to ask that 'god' myself."

Meanwhile, at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

The Goddess of Night and Lilith also saw this scene. After learning the whole story, this old pervert who had lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he sighed in his heart: The English... really know how to have fun.

Lilith urged from the side: "Amanesis, it's time to go back~"

The Night Goddess said calmly: "I've already told you, just don't bother with me."

Lilith curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Tsk, who wants to take care of you? I'm just keeping an eye on you to prevent you from doing anything bad secretly!"

"…"

Lilith grabbed His arm and dragged Him away, "Let's go, let's go."

When the two young girls arrived at the terrace, Dumbledore was adjusting his silver hair that was messed up by the breeze. Lilith waved to him from a distance: "Ah, long time no see, Professor Whitebeard.

After a brief moment of confusion, his azure eyes suddenly shrank: "You are... Miss Lilith?!"

Lilith giggled and said, "Hehe, it's me~"

"Oh, Merlin's beard, this is incredible."

Although I had heard last time that some potions could turn animals into humans, it was just a guess at the time. I didn't expect that when we met again, Lilith had really turned into a human.

Huh?

Susie just said that Lilith was accompanying another distinguished guest - the god, so the little girl who was being dragged by Lilith and looked unhappy was the god?

So, God is a girl?

The goddess of night looked Dumbledore up and down for a few times, her eyes seemed to penetrate the fog of memory deep in his irises, and said lightly: "Oh, Dumbledore used the version from the first movie. Well, it's okay."

Dumbledore: "???"

Although he was confused, he did not ask too many questions. He just nodded to the Goddess of Night and said a simple hello. He had experienced too much at his age. Although the "god" still shocked him, he was not too shocked.

Of course, it could also be because he had only heard of the gods, had never seen their true power, and had never believed in any gods.

Lilith interrupted and said, "Don't worry about Him. He just likes to talk nonsense. Just pretend that He doesn't exist."

As she spoke, she looked at the historical projection of the Mirror of Erised and asked, "Edward, are you going to look for 'that person'?"

"Um."

Edward said seriously: "Lilith, I'll leave this to you from now on."

"Don't worry!"

Lilith patted her chest, glanced at the goddess of night and snorted, "I'm here, I'll keep a close eye on Amanesis!"

"No need, you just need to be responsible for protecting everyone's safety. As for Her Majesty the Goddess, I believe She knows how to handle things."

"I don't believe it..."

After that, Audrey walked up and held Edward's hand, and said with a little concern: "Be careful."

"Yeah! I'll be back soon!"

Edward picked up the Mirror of Erised and was about to leave when the Goddess of Night said calmly, "If you see Him, please ask Him when He will deliver the River of Eternal Darkness that He promised me."

"must!"

After saying this, Edward disappeared in an instant.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

After a moment, Dumbledore said, "Everyone, if you have nothing else to do, let's go back and continue watching the game. There will be a grand party after the game."

The Goddess of Night remained silent. Lilith seemed not to hear anything, but Audrey became nervous again.

Seeing that the conversation was about to fall into silence, Dumbledore hesitated and took out a handful of chocolate toffee from his pocket: "This is my favorite chocolate toffee recently. Would you like to try it, my beautiful ladies?"

Before the other three could respond, Susie tilted her head and blinked, "You know, Professor, I'm just a dog. If I eat chocolate... I'll die."

Chapter 695 Entering the Abode of the Gods

Dumbledore was stunned, his eyes behind his half-moon glasses froze for a moment, and he murmured:

"Oh, sorry, this is the first time I've heard of this..."

Lilith reacted, took a piece of toffee, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into Susie's mouth, muttering, "Susie, you are now a Sequence 6 Extraordinary Dog. Unless you eat several hundred kilograms of chocolate in one go, you will not die."

She glanced at the goddess of night and said maliciously, "You said so, Amanesis."

Goddess of Night: "…"

Susie asked in confusion, "Really? Eating hundreds of kilograms can kill you. Is it because the dosage is too high?"

"No! He died of overeating."

Everyone: "…"

A few minutes later, not long after they left, a blond boy about 16 or 17 years old came over. He raised his chin slightly without hiding the arrogance in his eyes: "It seems that there is nothing here that you are talking about."

As he spoke, he pulled out a black notebook from his pocket and opened it, and lines of words quickly jumped onto the paper: "I felt it, he was just here, find him quickly!"

The boy curled his lips and snorted: "Tsk! Where can I find it?"

"Towards the audience! The person who got the Slytherin secret is in the audience!"

"Then you didn't say it just now."

Putting away the notebook, the boy jumped off the terrace, landed lightly on the ground more than ten meters high, and then walked towards the audience seats slowly.

...

Edward returned to the Room of Requirement with the historical projection of the Mirror of Erised. He stood in front of the mysterious mirror, his eyes focused, and silently recited the circle of mysterious words: "Eris Stella Erhlu... Ayitwubi Kafru Ayiton Vohes."

But when the last word came out, there was still silence all around, and nothing happened.

"Strange, that's how little Barty pronounced it last time."

Edward frowned and lowered his head to think for a moment. He stared at the mirror, mysterious patterns appeared in his pupils, and his [Deconstruction] ability was quietly activated.

After a moment, he saw through the true nature of the mirror - it was a sealed "portal" that could only be opened by reading the circle of words with the key. And the key was a strangely shaped wand - the Elder Wand!

"I see." Edward suddenly understood.

He couldn't help but think of Dumbledore's Elder Wand which was lost long ago. Combining Grindelwald and Dumbledore's descriptions of the "other world", he speculated that the loss of the Elder Wand might be because Dumbledore inadvertently opened the seal of the Mirror of Erised, causing the monsters from the "other world" to continue to invade.

The reason why Barty Jr. was able to open the Mirror of Erised was because the "door" was always half open - until Voldemort entered and locked it again.

"The Elder Wand among the Three Deathly Hallows is the key to the 'abode of the gods'. What are the functions of the remaining Resurrection Stone and Invisibility Cloak?"

Edward was confused, but soon shook his head and decided not to dwell on it. He used his [Deconstruction] ability to forcefully open the "door" of the Mirror of Erised.

The mirror suddenly lit up, emitting a faint fluorescence. After more than ten seconds, the fluorescence went out, and the mirror became pitch black, and then it slowly opened inward like a door. Arms as pale as corpses stretched out from the mirror, accompanied by shrill cries and screams, and instantly grabbed Edward's body and clothes.

A strong pulling force dragged him closer to the mirror. Edward did not resist, allowing those arms to drag him into the mirror little by little, and just before the door in the mirror closed, a black smoke seeped out and quickly drifted away.

Edward's sight was quickly swallowed by darkness, as if he had walked into a tunnel without light. *, !More `Xin^Sin. Faster,

Feeling the arms still pulling at him, Edward used his intelligence to shake them away, then took a step forward and instantly passed through the endless tunnel and came to an exit.

However, an invisible wall blocked his way—even a Sequence 2 Planeswalker could not pass through it.

"It's not that simple." Edward used [Deconstruction] again, and this time he understood the method to pass through in less than thirty seconds - only the soul (spirit) can pass through this "wall", it is specially prepared for the dead.

This was not a difficult task for Edward now, but he was a little curious: How did he pass through this wall in the memory he lost last time?

"Oh yeah, it's the Resurrection Stone!"

Edward slapped his head and quickly realized that one of the abilities of the Resurrection Stone was to allow a person's soul to leave the body and become a spirit.

He then transformed into a spirit state, and while passing through the transparent wall, he became curious about the last of the Three Deathly Hallows, the Invisibility Cloak. He wondered what use it could have in the "abode of the gods".

Once you pass through the transparent wall, the view in front of you suddenly opens up and what comes into view is a white world. In the distance is endless water and boundless white mist.

Edward's position was like an isolated island in the middle of the water.

However, he soon discovered that this was not really an island, but an old station that was very familiar to most students going to Hogwarts - King's Cross Station.

Not far away was the cursed pillar leading to Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, with a train parked next to it, but everything looked like a dream.

"I remember that in the original Harry Potter book, Harry seemed to have seen Dumbledore for the last time at King's Cross Station. Some people said that it was the dividing line between the living and the dead."

"As long as you take this train, you will be able to travel to the world of the dead."

What a hassle.

Edward sighed and walked towards the train. In the dim light, a man in uniform suddenly stopped at the door of the carriage. Seeing Edward approaching, he said very politely, "Please show me your ticket, sir."

"ticket?"

Edward conjured up a piece of paper and used a confounding spell: "Is that okay?"

The ticket inspector smiled politely and said, "Don't be ridiculous, sir. You can't get on the bus without a ticket. This is my responsibility to you."

"Where can I buy the ticket?"

The ticket inspector shrugged: "Everyone who is supposed to take the train will naturally have a ticket, and other people who have mistakenly entered here will not have a ticket.?Qi/Sheng.Xiao, said\蛧- .Mian.Fei^Read^Du￠"

"Understood."

This is clearly a train bound for death, and only the dead are qualified to ride.

Edward nodded and showed the paper to the ticket inspector again, "Why don't you take a look at it now?"

This time, the ticket inspector shook his head, took the paper a little slowly, then opened the door and said, "Oh, I'm sorry to see you have this ticket, sir. I hope you will have a happy memory on the rest of your journey."

"Thanks."

Edward nodded slightly and walked into the carriage.

The second Confusion Charm was successful because he used Blindness on the ticket collector, making it impossible for him to make effective judgments.

As I walked into the carriage, I saw rows of passengers who had already taken their seats. Most of them had confused faces and empty eyes. They seemed to have no idea what was happening or where they were going. They just mechanically followed some predetermined fate.

Edward tried to talk to several people, but they were either slow to respond or seemed like they couldn't hear his voice. He had no choice but to find an empty seat and wait patiently.

"I don't know how I managed to sneak past the ticket inspector and get on the train the last time I entered here... Could it be that I didn't get on the train at all?"

He quickly shook his head. No, he must have gotten on the bus, otherwise he couldn't explain his strange behavior after returning. He thought quickly and came to a conclusion:

"So... it's the invisibility cloak?"

Edward tossed a gold coin for divination, and the head landed on top, indicating a positive outcome.

In this way, the functions of the Three Deathly Hallows are all known: the Elder Wand is the key to open the Mirror of Erised, the Resurrection Stone can help pass through the transparent wall, and finally use the invisibility cloak to hide from the ticket inspector and board the train to reach the so-called "abode of the gods".

This is the secret of the Deathly Hallows, and also the hidden "ability" of these three things after being "activated" into extraordinary items.

It feels like... that's just the way it is.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Edward shook his head and chuckled: No, the reason why I don't think it's a big deal is because I'm in a different sequence and standing at a different height. If it were the "original" that was born and raised in the Harry Potter world, it would be completely different.

Because by collecting these three holy artifacts, you can really reach the residence of the gods and even see the gods!

About half an hour later,

The train shook slightly and started moving slowly. There was no announcement or warning. The train just went faster and faster silently, rushing into the endless fog and the depths of the water.

The windows on both sides were always white and I couldn't see anything clearly. I didn't know which direction the train was going or where it passed. Everything was unknown.

Until a loud whistle sounded, the train rushed out of the fog and ran on a huge black river. Figures that seemed real or unreal were wandering around the river. A huge figure in black clothes and holding a sickle was standing in the river. With every swing of the sickle, countless figures were chopped into pieces and drowned in the river.

Edward was suddenly shocked and looked fixedly at the huge Grim Reaper - his intuition told Edward that he was the Grim Reaper who sent him back last time, and also the "Grim Reaper" he saw when he was promoted, but he was much bigger in size.

Could he... be "the one" that Adam and the Goddess of Night were talking about?

At this moment, the huge Grim Reaper paused, turned his head to look at Edward, and suddenly his lower jaw fell off, as if revealing a strange smile, and then pressed his white bony arm on his chest, bowed to Edward from a distance, and waved the sickle again to continue "working".

The train continued to move forward, and was about to leave Death behind. Edward hesitated for a moment, and was about to go over to him to ask him in person, but at this moment, a voice came from the side:

"Are you looking for me?"

Chapter 696 "Creator"

Edward was shocked. He had clearly chosen an empty seat, so when did someone appear beside him? He hadn't even noticed it!

When he turned around, he saw a familiar face - it was the ticket inspector who had been blinded by him just now, but this time, the ticket inspector's expression and eyes showed that he had become a different person.

The ticket inspector shook his head helplessly and said, "Hey, I took a nap and found that you turned my man into a fool. Even if I am slow, I can't help but notice it."

Edward said, "Uh." "I'm sorry."

"But, I understand. After all, you must have a lot of questions in your mind." He spread his hands, "For example, who am I, where am I, and what is going on."

Edward asked hesitantly, "Excuse me...are you the person that Adam and the Night Goddess mentioned?"

"Ah, I think so." He smiled and waved his hands. "What about 'that person' or 'this person'? That's really ugly. For the time being, just call me... let me think... the Creator."

Edward's pupils shrank: "Creator?"

The Ticket Inspector stretched out his hands, and two illusory books appeared in his palms: "Yes, as the one who created all this, you deserve the title of 'Creator'."

I saw that the book in his left palm was "Harry Potter", and the book in his right palm... was "Lord of Mysteries"!

...

On the other side, outside the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

As the female professor of Beauxbatons rescued the last female student, the first game of the "Four Finals Tournament" temporarily came to an end.

After completing the rescue, each professor received clues about the next game, and was able to "unlock" the use of some spells based on their ranking and score - this is also the new rule of this competition.

All players can initially only choose 5 of the 20 basic spells selected by the referee team as their initial spells. Then, as the competition progresses, more spell permissions will be unlocked based on their rankings.

This way of wearing shackles undoubtedly makes the game more interesting.

Audrey, who was "informed and ignorant", couldn't help but exclaim: "Whoever came up with this rule is amazing!"

Dumbledore smiled, "Thank you for your compliment, Miss Audrey."

"Oh, so it was your idea, Professor?"

"That's right." He smiled and said, "To be honest, I have never been satisfied with the fact that the most famous competition in the wizarding world is a group of people riding brooms all over the sky to find the ball. I always feel that... Quidditch is not 'magical' enough. So after referring to various entertainment programs and some interesting games of Muggles, I wondered... whether it is possible to make the Triwizard Tournament a more 'magical' competition that belongs to wizards."

"So, there was this attempt, which was the first thing I planned to do after becoming the Minister of Magic."

Dumbledore continued, "But many people think that I am old and confused and am just messing around. But I don't think so. If the wizarding world always remains the same, it would be too un-magical."

"Okay, I'm going to the judges' table to give the scores."

He winked mischievously. "I guess they must be discussing secretly why Albus Dumbledore took so long to use the toilet - whether the greatest white wizard's health is also failing due to old age."

The Goddess of Night suddenly said calmly, "As long as you can advance to Sequence 4, you can at least live another 300 to 400 years in good health. I think this shouldn't be too difficult for Dumbledore."

"Oh, then I'm looking forward to it."

Dumbledore smiled and stepped forward.

Soon, amid the cheers of the students, the four headmasters began to score the eight professors in turn. Although there was obvious favoritism, Snape still won the first place for being the first to rescue Harry and won the cheers of all Hogwarts students.

"It's a loud voice."

Dumbledore then put his wand against his throat and transmitted his voice to the ears of everyone present: "Well, the first game of this semi-final competition has come to an end for the time being. All students are requested to return to the castle in an orderly manner. A grand dinner will be waiting for everyone in two hours."

"Ohhhh!!"

"Finally, let us once again give the warmest applause to the eight warriors and the people they care about most!!!"

Thunderous applause suddenly resounded throughout the Forbidden Forest. Snape, who was standing on the podium, glared at Harry, who was clapping along foolishly, and resisted the urge to spit venom:

"Asshole, I don't care about a fool like Pott! Albus! It must be Albus who did it!!"

...

Today's dinner was even more sumptuous than the one a month ago when the four colleges gathered together. In the noisy restaurant, everyone ate while talking about the day's game, and the atmosphere was particularly pleasant.

Audrey, Lilith and others were arranged to sit in the Slytherin area. After not seeing each other for more than two months, Malfoy was obviously startled when he suddenly saw Audrey, but he quickly adjusted his mood, greeted her quickly, and then sat directly at the farthest place from Audrey with his two followers.

This childish behavior, coupled with the lively and happy atmosphere, alleviated Audrey's original worries about Edward's delay in returning.

Lilith sat quietly beside her, her brows furrowed, not knowing what she was thinking. Susie, on the other hand, sat in a corner as usual, observing everyone around her.

As for the performance of Priscilla, the goddess of night, Audrey was a little surprised. She originally thought that this goddess, who symbolized tranquility and darkness, might not be able to adapt to such a lively environment.

But He just sat there quietly, savoring the various delicacies in small bites, sometimes frowning slightly, and sometimes showing a hint of pleasure.

"What are you looking at?"

Suddenly, the goddess of night turned to Audrey and asked calmly.

"Ah, I...I didn't, I..."

Oh no! Audrey, oh Audrey, how could you forget that you can't look directly at the gods!

Not only did you look directly at him, you stared at him while he was eating for several minutes.

The goddess of night asked again: "Are you afraid of me?"

"...Um."

Hurry up, you idiot! Say something to resolve this awkward situation!
