As soon as Hoffa squeezed out of the tunnel and stood on the ice of the lake, a strong lake monster on top of the roof immediately noticed him.
It roared loudly.
Hoffa tapped his boots with his magic wand and an ice blade appeared under his feet. Then he waved at the tunnel. "Ossivia, come out quickly!"
Osivia, on the other hand, was stuck in the tunnel by the roots. She was an adult and was bigger than Huo Fa.
Hoffa rushed back and turned his magic wand into a sharp blade to cut off the tentacles.
He grabbed Ossivia's arm and pulled her out of the tunnel.
At this moment, at the top of the hill, a large number of lake monsters gathered again.
"Let's go!"
Ossivia said. Ice blades appeared under her feet and she pulled Hoffa and slid quickly.
The lake monsters jumped off the cliff. The old lake monster in the lead slammed his magic wand and screamed, "Don't let them return to the Hogwarts!"
After saying that, it waved its arms, and the clouds in the sky quickly gathered and covered the moon. The water vapor quickly turned into huge ice spears, and those ice spears were like sparkling stars in the dark night sky.
They were extremely beautiful and extremely dangerous.
The huge level of magic shocked Hoffa. He looked at the sky. He gritted his teeth. He grabbed Ossivia's arm.
"Hold on tight!"
After that, he activated Ghost Walk and Animated at the same time. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared on the spot and sped towards the castle in the distance.
The lake monsters on the island waved their arms and countless ice spears pierced the lake like raindrops.
They looked small at first, but in the blink of an eye, they became as big as missiles.
Crackling sounds could be heard incessantly.
Countless ice spears pierced through the ice more than half a meter thick like arrows, destroying the stable ice structure. Countless lake monsters jumped into the lake. They disappeared into the turbulent water.
In the rush, the ice behind Hoffa broke like dominoes. The breaks were very close to him, some were even less than a meter away from him, but he didn't look back. If he was a tenth of a second slower, he might be swallowed by the cold lake water and completely lose his ability to fight.
After ten seconds, he exited Ghost Walk. Countless lake monsters jumped out of the ice water like lightning. They cursed and threw all kinds of weapons in their hands.
Hoffa still didn't look at them. He only had eyes for the towering castle in the distance.
The two of them had already left the group of lake monsters behind them far behind.
Slowly, the chasing lake monsters slowed down. They all stared with their ice blue eyes in shock.
The speed of the boy in front seemed to be unbelievably fast.
Due to inertia and low friction on the ice, Hoffa's skating speed was close to eighty kilometers per hour. This made him flash across the ice like a Mirage.
He instinctively lowered his body to reduce the wind resistance. The cold wind blew on his face without any obstruction, giving him the illusion that the skin on his face was being peeled off by a sharp knife.
Ossivia shouted anxiously behind Hoffa, "We're out. Slow down."
"Hurry up."
Hoffa's eyes were fixed on Hogwarts Castle. He didn't slow down at all.
He had to quickly confirm the safety of the coin. If possible, he should immediately put the coin in a safer place.
The lakeside was close. The distance of more than ten kilometers was crossed in the blink of an eye. Hoffa let go of his hand and rushed ashore, running towards the school.
Fortunately, he only used ten seconds in the activated state. He didn't use up too much of his mental strength and didn't enter that terrifying state of listlessness.
When he returned to the school, he looked at his watch. It was already two in the morning.
Hoffa ran quickly. He passed through a group of noisy oil paintings and a group of fussing ghosts and returned to Ravenclaw's tower.
The bad news was that Ravenclaw's tower was still completely sealed. There were no stairs to go up. If he wanted to get his coin, he had to think of another way.
The good news was that it was Christmas night. The teachers guarding the tower had already gone to rest. This made things easier for Hoffa.
He looked up at the tower of his school. It was so tall that he couldn't see the top.
Hoffa took a deep breath and swung his wand.
The wand turned into a rope and hooked onto a protruding stone sculpture on the wall. He tied the long rope to his waist and his fingernails became sharp.
Crack.
He stuck his fingers into the slits of the wall and quickly climbed up.
Half a minute later.
Ossivia braked and turned the corner. She panted as she reached the bottom of Ravenclaw's tower. She looked up and was shocked to see Hoffa climbing up.
"Where are you going?"
"Back to the dormitory. Hurry."
"Climbing the wall!?"
Ossivia was annoyed.
Hoffa didn't answer. He just lengthened the rope and threw a section down.
Ossivia looked at the swinging rope in front of her.
"Alright, alright. I've been crazy enough tonight."
She whispered angrily.
Then, she calmed herself down and grabbed the rope and fastened it to her waist.
In the dark night, the two were like rock climbers. They quickly climbed to the top of Ravenclaw's tower.
When they passed by the oil paintings, they woke up one by one.
They were all shocked.
"Climbing the wall in the middle of the night?"
"What are you doing?"
"I've been in Hogwarts for six hundred years. Six hundred years. I've never seen a student as crazy as you!"
An old man in an oil painting scolded.
"I bet you're a brat from Gryffindor!"
"Don't be like that, Charlie. Can't Ravenclaw be crazy once in a while?" an old woman in an oil painting said.
Then, she looked up at Hoffa and shouted, "Merry Christmas, child."
Hoffa didn't even turn his head. "Good night."
However, the oil paintings that gave their blessings were in the minority. Most of them shouted angrily. Some even walked out of the oil paintings angrily. Some even said that they would find a teacher to punish the two crazy students.
Finally, amid the cursing of the oil paintings, Hoffa jumped onto the narrow bridge and walked quickly to Eagle Ring.
Eagle Ring spread his wings. "You and I can make up three. We can't do it alone."
"Family."
Hoffa answered without hesitation.
The tunnel opened with a bang.
Hoffa hurried in and returned to the tower of Ravenclaw's dormitory that he hadn't been to for two months.
At this moment, the common lounge was almost completely abandoned. The night wind blew the light blue curtains, and there were yellow seals everywhere. The ground was littered with gravel, and the statue of Rona Ravenclaw was lying on the ground, covered with scattered books.
There was no time to lament the dilapidated state of the common room.
Hoffa lit his magic wand and walked up the spiral stairs to the dormitory.
As soon as he entered the dormitory, he slapped his thigh in annoyance.
"Damn, do you have to do this?"
He saw that his dormitory was in a mess. On the dust on the ground, there was a row of clean footprints.
His backpack that he used to store his important luggage was thrown at the door. His clothes and underwear were thrown all over the ground.
The ground was dotted with gold coins. Looking at the gold coins, he saw his leather bag by the bed.
Hoffa bent down, hurriedly picked up the leather bag and opened it. His face instantly turned pale. He reached out to touch it.
He found that the commemorative coin with Ravenclaw's face that Silby gave him was long gone.
Even though he rushed back to his dormitory as soon as possible, he still couldn't prevent the most worrying thing from happening.
Damn it, damn it.
Hoffa walked around like a headless fly. Then, he sat on the bed and meditated, quickly calming down.
The Demihuman King was still in this school. He might have just been here.
Three keys, all three keys were in his hands. He was only one step away from opening the library, no, the black coffin.
He bent down to touch the footprint. His heart was beating like a drum.
He had to find Ossivia. He had to find the other teachers in the school. Hoffa immediately stood up and strode outside.
As soon as the thought came to him, Hoffa threw away the leather bag and walked down the dormitory.
The moment he turned the corner and entered the common room, he was stunned.
In the dark and empty common room of Ravenclaw, a glaring red light was quietly watching him.
On the statue of Ravenclaw that was lying on the ground.
A tall man in a suit was sitting on the head of Ravenclaw's statue with his legs crossed. He was silently looking at Hoffa.
He wasn't wearing the crown this time, but his fingers were nimbly spinning a coin.
Hoffa's breathing almost stopped.
How did this guy do it? His timing was so accurate. Or did this guy live in the common room?
Seeing Hoffa come over, the man sitting on the statue put down his legs and leaned forward.
"You're looking for this?"
The man said softly. The coin jumped on his fingertips.
Hoffa's chest rose and fell. This was the first time he was alone with this guy. He stuck to the wall motionlessly. He had the urge to activate Ghost Walk and run away, but he forcibly stopped himself from doing so.
"It's a long journey, isn't it?"
He opened his mouth and smiled.
"How did you do it?" Hoffa asked with a hoarse voice.
"You don't know this school." He stood up with his hands on his knees and took out a huge revolver from his chest.
"What do you want to do?" Hoffa took a step back.
"You'll have to find out yourself."
He put the coin into his chest. He held the weapon with his right hand.
"Guess what's going to happen next?"
After that.
Bang!!
The gun fired.
The moment it fired.
Hoffa disappeared.
The bullet shattered the wall behind Hoffa.
The man tilted his head. He wasn't surprised at all.
Boom!
The door of the common room was slammed open.
Ossivia, who had just climbed onto the narrow bridge, was grabbed by Hoffa by the shoulder.
"Where's your Aura!?"
"What?"
"Aura, let them come over!"
Ossivia's expression changed. Hoffa dragged her into the common room.
Inside the room, the man was standing on the snow-covered windowsill. His hands formed a cross. He smiled, fell back, and jumped down from the tower that was more than three hundred meters high.
"Stop!"
Ossivia roared. She broke free from Hoffa's arm and jumped onto the windowsill.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
What responded to her was a bullet that grazed her forehead. The man fired several shots as he fell.
Hoffa immediately pulled Ossivia and hid under the windowsill. They covered their heads.
The gunshots stopped.
Under the windowsill, Ossivia looked at Hoffa.
"Is it over?"
Hoffa nodded. "Should be."
Ossivia immediately got up and held onto the windowsill. She turned around and said to Hoffa, "Hug me."
"What?"
Ossivia: "Don't talk nonsense. Hug me!"
Hoffa hugged Ossivia's slender waist.
"Back, go to the back."
Hoffa let go of his hands. He went to the back in confusion and leaned on her back.
