Sleeping Dragon Shall Not Disturb
Tadis began to smoke as soon as it landed. Snape and Harry were almost thrown out by it.
Harry remembered to grab Ouroboros's crystal coffin.
However, there were only a few strands left.
Paddy Fenlin, who seemed to have been waiting at the same spot for a long time, helped Harry, who was sitting on the grass in a daze, up. He looked regretfully at Tardis, who was like a loyal old dog, whimpered its last breath and stopped moving. It had lost all power.
Now it was really just a wooden box.
"Where is Merlin?" Snape found that they did not land on the main island of Avalon.
Instead, it was the Holy Oak Island hidden in the fog.
They were stepping on the thick roots of the Holy Oak.
Paddy Fenlin smiled, "He has been waiting for you to come back."
He added, "He doesn't have much time."
"What a coincidence." Harry looked at the last weak strands in the crystal ball. He suddenly had the illusion that his heart was being clenched. Or maybe it was not an illusion.
At that moment, he seemed to see the time he had skipped whizzing by in the corner of his eye, and some new scenes appeared in the end. That was …
"What a coincidence. I don't have much time either." Harry stood up straight with the empty crystal coffin in his hand. "Ouroboros only has the last timeline left. Nihon has noticed this.
So I have to die as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he will be fully prepared before the Time Ring opens. "
"You mean?" Snape hesitated.
"He discovered me. My time is synchronized with his." The moment Ouroboros was about to collapse.
Nihon must have been affected as well.
And he captured Harry's existence at that moment.
Although he was not sure how much he noticed,
It was enough for him to be vigilant.
Paddy Fenlin brought the two into the conference room inside the huge oak.
Merlin was sitting on the floor under the Holy Wood Silk.
She smiled kindly, "Welcome back, my two old friends." After a pause, she asked, "How long have you been away?"
"Ten years and five months." Harry also sat cross-legged in front of Merlin. He looked at the old wizard carefully and didn't feel any change.
"Oh, then my time passed faster this time." Merlin stroked his beard, looking a little proud. "I only waited for you for two years. However, you guys still look the same as when you left. I've aged a little. "
The old man was still thinking about the last time he had waited for hundreds of years.
However, it was true that Harry and Selina had not handled the matter properly, so they could only smile without saying anything.
"It's good that you're back." Merlin sighed like every old person who stayed behind in their hometown. "It's good that you're back … After all, I don't have much time left. That spell … that spell still needs me to chant it. Speaking of which, how's the work of gathering time going? "
Speaking of the work in the past ten years, Harry's mood was relatively stable. "We've been to a lot of places — a lot of time. We've met a lot of people and experienced a lot of things. I have to say that Ginny's choice has always been right. She woke up earlier than me — maybe a little too early, so she was trapped. In short, we've only done one thing in the past ten years, which is to name a wonderful emotion. "
"Just like your playful spell 'Atul', we need to create a brand new spell and let people spread it by word of mouth until it becomes a belief. Just by saying it, it can stimulate the yearning for miracles and magic. This work is really amazing. We can't pass on magic to another person, but we have to let him believe in miracles in the world … "
(Harry operated the broom with one hand and held the seven-year-old Ariel with the other. He flew over Upton with him. "You can see it, can't you?")
"I realized that children are the most amazing creatures. They always remember things very well, and they believe in them without a doubt …"
"And mothers. Mothers always need more hope to wait for their children to come back …"
"We dig out the most precious part of human emotions and then name it. At first, it was like a brand new word, but slowly, it became a rural legend and quickly grew in the stories. People no longer just recite a few syllables, but express their emotions and strengthen their beliefs. Perhaps they can't accurately describe the power in the blood at that moment, but for us wizards, it's called magic."
Merlin smiled with relief. "So you found the spell."
"Yes."
"Did you leave a mark?"
"My companions will know." Harry looked up. "So, now, we should break the time loop for them."
Merlin had hoped that Harry could take a rest after the long journey, but Harry dared not take the risk. He could still feel the connection between himself and Nihon, the sense of synchronicity of time. So, the sooner he died, the sooner the time loop would be broken. And for Nihon, who was in the future, it meant one less day for him to deploy.
Merlin invited Snape to help Harry concoct the potion needed for the "Second Type of Death". Snape had already researched it thoroughly in Tardis. He was familiar with it and the finished product was pure.
The old wizard admired this young man very much. "You'll become an excellent potion master like Godrick in the future!"
"…" It was definitely not a compliment for Slytherin. So, Snape gritted his teeth and asked, "I thought Slytherin was more proficient in potions?"
"Salazar?" Merlin thought for a moment. "That lad likes to make poisons. So, he and Godrick, one poisons, and the other saves. They work well together. "
I'm poisoning Harry Potter now. Snape thought.
Merlin looked at him with a smile. He was obviously in a trance, but his movements were still precise. She asked, "Does he know you're going to be the spellcaster?"
Snape paused for a moment, then threw away a piece of root that was crooked. "Maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't. We don't have a choice. "
Merlin silently pondered the meaning of his words and sighed. "Maybe we can make a sleeping potion for you …"
Snape rudely interrupted the old wizard. "I need to wake up … I need time to study your spell." Otherwise, the lad might never wake up, or he might forget and be forgotten forever.
Merlin nodded. "Paddy and I will pull the entire Oak Island into the space-time cocoon. With the Holy Wood Silk, this operation will be much safer."
Snape saw Merlin looking at him, understood the meaning of her words, and slowly nodded.
Paddy Fenlin drew the magic circle needed to operate the "Second Kind of Death" in the open space of the conference room. During this time, Harry had been observing him, but he did not find anything unusual. There seemed to be no distance between Bita Dou and Paddy Fenlin.
"Um … Paddy?"
"Yes?" Paddy Fenlin looked up and smiled. His appearance was ordinary, but his temperament was gentle and approachable.
"After the Holy Wood Silk is sealed, what will happen to Avalon?" According to Merlin, Avalon was protected by the Holy Wood Silk, which was the timeline left by Ouroboros. Now, it was equivalent to Avalon giving the Holy Wood Silk to Harry.
Paddy still smiled faintly. "This Lost Island may be hidden for a while. We'll hide further and deeper … and wait for the right time to come back. We may not come back. The life of an elf is long. It's enough for us to wait patiently until the day the world needs us. "
Harry hoped that he could win this war. He hoped that there would be an Avalon Island in the new world.
Snape brought a cup of golden liquid.
"I added a powerful sleeping potion in it." This tone was almost gentle for Snape. "You can sleep for a long, long time until you're woken up."
Harry took his special sleeping potion, took a deep breath, and raised his glass to everyone. "Cheers!"
But he did not move his mouth. He only looked at Snape. Will you wake me up?
Snape nodded indiscernibly.
He drank it in one gulp.
The effect of the potion was quite fast. Snape, who had a partial emotional connection with Harry, felt the severe pain in his internal organs almost at the same time, but it soon disappeared. He picked up Harry and found that the boy was soft, like an empty shell without any weight.
Merlin watched Snape put Harry into the magic circle. She could not bear it and said again, "Even if you perform the spell, you can hide with Avalon Island, instead of …"
"I promised him." Snape refused with his back facing her. "The boy doesn't even know how scared he is, so he asked me several times. He's so selfish that he doesn't dare to stay here alone for a thousand years. So, I could only promise him. "
Snape unfolded the scroll full of spells. "I promised to accompany him." Since he had also survived more than seven hundred reincarnations.
"That's good." Merlin closed her eyes. "Then from today on, you will be a silent man. You must keep silent about your memories and no longer communicate with the world in any form. The world will also ignore you, until … "
"Until the dead come back to life."
Snape accepted Merlin's advice. He had always been very patient. In any case, he now had a thousand years to find a solution to the "second kind of death."
