"Of course not. Although we rarely see each other, you guys are my only normal social activities. I basically don't contact anyone else."
"That's true. Two days ago, Sister Béla was asking us about you. Speaking of which, you're a bit too secretive. You don't even have to hide from your own sister."
Scully and Béla had a good relationship. Perhaps because the two of them got along well, he had now become the mouthpiece between Béla and Jon.
"How am I hiding from her? She's the one who doesn't come to me, so why should I go to her? Isn't my current situation eye-catching enough?
Besides, if something really happens, won't your roles be revealed? "
Scully, who was used as a tool, directly rolled his eyes at him and then buried himself in his food.
"Aiya, let's not talk about these useless things. Let's talk about something serious. What are you going to do during the Easter holiday? Is there anything you need our help with? "
Feren obviously had a lot of free time these days, so he wanted to find something for himself to do.
People who were used to being busy really couldn't be idle.
But this was obviously something he couldn't do.
"There's nothing for you to do, because this is something that that person will take me to do."
Jon gestured eight with his hand and pointed upstairs at the same time.
Feren silently took back what he wanted to say. Since Dumbledore helped, then it had nothing to do with Jon. Obviously, this was something that Dumbledore was in charge of.
Jon could see that Feren probably misunderstood something, but he didn't intend to explain.
For this kind of thing, sometimes misunderstandings were a good thing, so that everyone wouldn't feel awkward.
And before this matter officially started, Jon still needed to meet with Dumbledore to discuss the security issue again.
This matter had already been put on the agenda, and it would probably be done in the next two days.
After all, the Easter holiday was next Wednesday.
"Then you should do your best. When you're done, tell us. If it's not convenient, don't say anything. Just let us know that you're back. "
Jon nodded.
…
Easter Sunday, at night.
Jon took advantage of the night to head to the castle from the training ground.
The training ground was already protected by several sealing spells. Even the protection spell that Dumbledore had set up for Jon had been activated by Jon.
The night of Easter was quieter than usual. In the quiet campus, Jon walked silently in the night.
His figure gradually disappeared into the fog of the dark night, as if he had walked into Wujian.
His destination was the library.
Although the entrance to the underground palace was indeed in the principal's office, the third floor of the Dragon Soul Crypt was not the same entrance as the underground palace.
Behind the innermost bookshelf on the left side of the library was a wall. The entrance to the third floor was on this wall.
After entering the castle, Jon walked up the stairs and into the library. The library, which should have been locked, was now unlocked. In the empty library, there was a faint breeze, and there was the sound of steady breathing in the wind.
"You're a bit later than I expected."
Professor Snape, the Head of the Slythrin Academy, who had not seen him for a few days, was waiting in the library. After seeing him, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. He pointed at the hole in the wall that had appeared out of nowhere, "The principal has been waiting for a long time. Go quickly."
"I'm sorry, Professor. You know, I didn't have to go in for a long time this time, so when I came out, it took me some time."
Jon smiled embarrassedly.
Snape waved at him nonchalantly, then moved aside, "Go quickly."
Jon hurriedly walked into the hole.
There were no stairs in the secret tunnel. Jon stepped on air and followed the walls of the cave down bit by bit.
In a place where there was no light, he could only rely on the feedback of the force field to sense the path ahead. He did not know how far this underground tunnel was.
After falling for who knew how long, Jon finally hovered steadily above the flat ground.
This was a very small hole that could only accommodate a dozen people standing at the same time. At this moment, Dumbledore was standing here, holding a wind lantern in his hand. The light in the hole all came from this lantern.
The principal's back was facing Jon, and in front of him was an old wooden door.
This wooden door was obviously quite old. According to Jon's rough estimation, it was at least a few hundred years old.
The moment he stood here, he knew what the danger Naughty Brat was talking about was.
Because at that moment, he did not retract the detection range of the force field in time and spread the force field behind the door.
At the same time, his scalp tensed up as if it was being pulled.
And in his perception, behind the wooden door, there seemed to be a sun shining brightly. That 'blinding' light almost shattered his perception.
But the moment he saw Dumbledore, it was as if he did not see that blinding light, and the piercing pain in his eyes disappeared.
Dumbledore stood here, and with the principal's authority, he mobilized the control power of the 'Sleeping Dragon Barrier' to respond to this place.
That power was like the eye of a huge deep sea. An incomparably large amount of seawater swallowed and circulated around him, but there was no movement. In the incomparably dark deep sea, there was a turbulent undercurrent in the silence.
If last time at Nicole Lemour's funeral, what Jon saw belonged to Dumbledore, the prestige of a legendary Wizard, then this time, what he saw was the power of a legendary Wizard.
And here, the wind lantern in Dumbledore's hand seemed to be endowed with the presence of a legendary Wizard. Along with the incomparably dense magic operation here, the candlelight in the wind lantern swayed.
"This is … that?"
Jon looked at the flickering flame and could not help but ask.
"Yes."
Dumbledore nodded and released his hand from the handle of the wind lantern.
The wind lantern did not fall because of this.
It floated in mid-air, and along with the gentle swaying of the candlelight, Jon could feel the movement of the magic elements here.
And this was one of the several control centers of the Sleeping Dragon Barrier that protected the Hogwarts, and it was the most secretive and the heaviest one.
It was responsible for the suspension of the foundation stability, and at the same time, it suppressed the dragon's soul and prevented the magic from rioting. With the extremely delicate idea of the legendary witch Ravenclaw, by borrowing the movement of the dragon's soul here, it achieved the sealing source of the dragon's soul crypt's self-suppression.
