"Headmistress Helga really wants you to go?"
Naughty Ghost was puzzled at first, then puzzled again.
"Then why don't you ask the headmistress directly? She definitely knows the reason."
Jon was silent.
If he could ask Helga, would he still be sitting here doing nothing?
Wasn't it because Helga was in a deep sleep and he couldn't find her even if he wanted to, so he could only wait for Helga to wake up to find him? Furthermore, when he had time later, he might not be sleeping, so the two of them basically didn't have the same time to communicate. Was that why he didn't seem to have any clues?
Unless he waited until Helga completely woke up from her deep sleep, Jon would be able to ask Helga the questions he wanted to know at any time, anywhere.
It was just like when Helga wasn't in a deep sleep yet.
But at that time, who knew how long it would take to wait, so Jon definitely couldn't count on him now.
He couldn't possibly sleep in bed for a few months without waking up, waiting for Helga's call all the time, right?
"That makes sense."
Naughty Ghost nodded, then tilted his head and thought for a while, "If Headmistress Helga really wants you to go to the Dragon Soul Crypt, then I think of a possibility."
He pointed below, "When Hogwarts was first built, there were a lot of underground defensive structures built in the Underground Fortress. There were many underground defensive facilities built under the castle. These facilities were mainly used to guard against the sudden attack of the Holy See, but after the war ended, they were not used again. Now, most of the defensive facilities are only used as secret passages. "
"But the fundamental effects of these defensive structures haven't been removed. Although the castle no longer responds to my calls and has fallen into a deep sleep, those defensive structures are still operating freely. If Headmistress Helga really wants you to go to the Dragon Soul Crypt to do this, then it can only be because the headmistress once placed something in the Dragon Soul Crypt when the school was built back then."
"Such as?"
Jon asked, puzzled.
"How would I know? Back then, when the headmaster and the others built the school, I wasn't even born yet. Besides, even if I had existed back then, I wouldn't have been able to know these secrets. You should know that the castle itself already existed. The only things that were built later were the surrounding fortifications and the underground defensive facilities."
In other words, only the secret tunnels and crypts were built.
Jon couldn't help but recall the melody of the Tunnel War, but this wasn't the time to think about it. He hurriedly threw the brainwashing melody out of his mind.
"But the people who were later imprisoned should have left behind some information. What was so special about the crypt? Don't you have any memory of it?"
"Huh? Mister, I'm just a spirit, not a machine. Don't think that I'm so omnipotent, okay? "
Mischievous Ghost always cracked a smile when he spoke, as if he was joking. No one could tell what he was feeling at that moment.
Of course, when he said these words, he did not show any emotion.
It was just a very ordinary description.
"These things aren't recorded, and I don't have any related memories. In fact, I wasn't the only one doing these confidential things. It's just that as time passed, I was the only one left. Didn't you already know? This castle has a consciousness. It's like the alchemy life that you mentioned. It can do some things on its own initiative. In fact, the imprisonment of prisoners and some other things were done by the Hogwarts Castle. I was only responsible for the integration of information and didn't have to deal with these things at the same time. "
Jon expressed his understanding and scratched his head.
This was difficult.
If he couldn't figure out what was in the third floor of the Dragon Soul Crypt, he wouldn't know why Helga wanted him to go there.
In any case, it definitely wasn't just to complete the last step of bloodline purification. After all, the last step of bloodline purification was a little big, but it could be done anywhere.
Otherwise, Jon wouldn't have found a place like the training ground.
As long as there was a protective barrier to block the changes of sound and light, it would be fine.
"Although I don't know what you're going to do now, I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"
Naughty Ghost suddenly said.
Of course, Jon was willing to listen. He quickly nodded. "I'd like to hear the details. Tell me."
"It's like this. In the records of the Hogwarts, there was a Wizard ritual called 'Metamorphosis'. It's like a snake shedding its skin. The ritual's function is to change your whole body from the inside out, including but not limited to various aspects of improvement. I think it may be of great help to people like you who take the traditional path of improvement, so maybe Principal Helga meant this."
"Metamorphosis?"
Jon began to brainstorm in his mind, frantically searching for information about this ritual.
But unfortunately, there was nothing.
In Helga's teachings, there was never such a ritual mentioned.
"It's normal that you don't know about it." Naughty Ghost looked at Jon's blank face and said, "This ritual belongs to the category of Evil God Sacrifice. You know what Sacrifice is, right? It's a special ritual where the ancient Evil Wizard sacrificed innocent lives to the Evil God in exchange for power."
"But Ancestor Helga probably wouldn't let me use this ritual. She should be the one who's most against it."
"Don't be so serious. I already said that this is just a ritual. This kind of thing can be used for good or evil. It's fine to not use human lives as a sacrifice. As long as you use some other magical items instead, the final result will be the same. Of course, if you don't use human lives, the efficiency and extent of improvement won't be as high."
Naughty Ghost was very dedicated to answering Jon's questions. "This is the biggest possibility that I can think of, because the dragon skeleton in the Dragon Soul Crypt was built according to the ritual. Back then, it was to let the founder of Slythrin take the last step. You know that in that era, the space where the Wizard lived was very small, and the power of the Holy See was incomparably terrifying. Although for some reason, in the end, this thing was not used, but it can still be used."
"Are you sure?"
Jon didn't quite believe it. After all, this thing involved his life, so he had to be more serious.
"And you just said that there's a barrier there."
"Yes, of course there is. The protective barrier around the school, the Sleeping Dragon Barrier. The main control center is there."
