Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Chapter 3 Sacrificing Myrtle!
A rusty bronze scale appeared in front of Lin Xia.

The scales have exquisite and complex lines, engraved with scenes from the past: some people kneel on the ground to worship the pyramids, some kill animals as sacrifices, some make pilgrimages to seek their ideal homeland...

It's a pity that the large areas of corroded rust have left many exquisite patterns missing, giving it an air of dilapidation.

The basilisk's soul was pulled by the powerful suction of the scales, and bit by bit separated from the body. The basilisk opened its huge mouth angrily and roared, even its soul was furious.

Unlike pulling the basilisk, which is so difficult, the souls of Myrtle, Peeves, and Rooster have been pulled out by the scales and placed on the left end.

Peeves and Rooster screamed in panic, but their voices were locked tightly in the scale and could not be heard.

Myrtle stared at the Basilisk hatefully and said angrily and sharply: "I want it to die, I want it to die!"

Under Lin Xia's gaze, the already weak basilisk was finally pulled out of its complete soul and placed on the right end of the scale.

The scale immediately started to rotate. The right end where the Basilisk was located sank and fell, and the left end where Myrtle and others were located rose. The two ends were almost 180° flat!

But it is not a flat surface after all, and it is not without any gaps that can be pried.

Lin Xia used her abilities without hesitation to flip the balance of fate!

Now the right end where the basilisk is located rises rapidly, while the left end representing the myrtle falls rapidly. The closer to the middle point, the slower the balance swings.

In the end, the balance at the left end overwhelmed the right end where the basilisk was with an almost imperceptible advantage!

Suddenly, the basilisk's soul shattered inch by inch, and its outer body also disintegrated silently.

Lin Xia looked at this scene and felt many emotions in her heart. She turned the balance of fate over and defeated the strong with the weak. The basilisk was sacrificed as a sacrifice for using the balance of fate.

A powerful energy surged in her body. The balance of destiny absorbed the sacrifice and fed part of the energy back to her, giving Lin Xia a feeling of omnipotence.

Her eyes were slightly cold, suppressing this false sense of power.

Myrtle, Peeves and Rooster on the other side of the scale, although they turned defeat into victory, they may not survive.

Even if their fate is rewritten by the Scale of Destiny, weakness is still weak. Their souls have been absorbed a lot in the confrontation with the Basilisk. In addition, when their souls are placed on the Scale of Destiny, they also need to be absorbed by the scale with a certain amount of power.

Therefore, the moment the Basilisk completely disintegrated into nothingness, the souls of Myrtle, Peeves, and Rooster also collapsed and were destroyed.

On the scale, Myrtle smiled relievedly at Lin Xia. It was a bright smile that she had never seen before, as if she had cleared away the clouds.

Lin Xia recognized her mouth shape——

"Thank you."

She couldn't help but be startled, watching Myrtle's body turn into nothingness bit by bit, with mixed emotions.

Not everything can be used as a code in the balance of destiny, it must be two closely related people or things.

If she wants to fulfill Myrtle's last wish, she must use the Scales of Destiny to sacrifice the Basilisk to achieve the goal of complete elimination.

But in the process of using the scale of fate, she must also use a person or thing related to the basilisk as a weight.

Myrtle died because of the basilisk. This layer of cause and effect was enough for her to use it as a weight.

As for using Peeves as a weight, Lin Xia chuckled lightly.

She adheres to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me". If someone provokes her, she will not retaliate on the spot, but will only make them disappear one by one when the time is right.

Lin Xia's heart gradually became calmer as she watched the souls of Basilisk, Myrtle, Peeves, and Rooster gradually disappear.

She breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to leave this prison.

Suddenly, her expression changed, and she felt a force of repulsion and erosion exerting pressure on her soul, which became weak at a rapid speed.

At this time, the balance of fate that had absorbed the sacrifices trembled and spewed out bursts of mist, including the green mist representing the Basilisk, the golden mist of Myrtle, the white mist of Peeves, and an undetectable red mist. together. After a while, the fog dissipated, and the three items stayed on the scale.

The basilisk has two huge fangs, a bracelet as colorful as a rooster's tail, and an extremely pure golden bead.

Lin Xia thought about it and took out the golden beads.

A mysterious attraction came from the beads, with kindness and warmth, sucking in her fragile soul that was exposed and unprotected by the body.

Protected by the beads, the corrosive power of the castle that repelled her disappeared.

Lin Xia thought for a while, then controlled the golden beads to fly out of the secret room. Before leaving, she did not forget to close the secret room again and finish everything.

In Hogwarts, a Gryffindor student hurriedly broke into the bathroom.

He looked very anxious. If he were slower, he might not be able to catch the bus back, but he had a stomachache at this time.

If Myrtle hadn't disappeared, she would have rushed out and screamed: "Asshole, you are entering the women's restroom!"

The student hurriedly washed his hands, picked up the black suitcase and ran outside. He did not notice that a small golden bead was mixed into the middle of his suitcase.

"Quick, quick, the train is about to leave!" The strong Hagrid maintained order on the platform to prevent some lost lambs from missing the last train.

A student came over panting, and was picked up by Hagrid and thrown into the train.

The next second, a "pop" sound sounded, and the Hogwarts Express officially started.

Hagrid took off the hat on his head and waved to the students, "Merry Christmas!"

Hogwarts is a greenhouse that protects students very well, but once they leave, news from the outside world spreads like a storm. Even on the train, the students can feel the seriousness of the situation.

"Daily Prophet"

"The mysterious man leads his army of Death Eaters, claiming to create a pure wizarding world. The first wizarding war is about to come!"

"The Dark Lord: Destroy Muggles and all people and creatures who cannot use magic. Wizards are born noble!"

"The Quibbler"

"The Dark Lord uses cruel methods to make people surrender, and another ancient family has fallen - the Malfoy family announced that they will join the Dark Lord and become Death Eaters!"

"A storm is coming, and the First Wizarding World War is about to break out? Can the Order of the Phoenix formed by Dumbledore resist Voldemort's Death Eater army? He is the only person Voldemort fears!"

When some students saw this report, they couldn't help but trembled, held their heads in their hands, and didn't even dare to amplify their voices.

He said cautiously in an extremely shocked and disbelieving tone: "They actually published the name of the mysterious person?"

The student shook his head, as if this could shake the fear out of his mind, "I don't want to die, I definitely don't want to live."

As the train passed through Derbyshire, England, a student's black suitcase reflected a faint golden light under the sun.

Hidden in the golden bead, Lin Xia's fateful compass in her mind moved slightly and settled on the "asking for fortune" column.

[Sign up]: If you go to Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, England, you will get a chance to be reincarnated, but you have to wait for more than seven months to ensure your family's wealth.

[Lucky Lotus]: Go to the residential area of ​​Islington, north of the Thames River in London, and you will have the opportunity to be reincarnated. There is no need to wait, and your family will have no worries about food and clothing.

[Win the lottery]: Follow the owner of the suitcase home to get a chance to be reincarnated, without waiting, to ensure peace and stability for the family.

[Lot]: Leave the carriage, kill Death Eaters, stand out, and gain the opportunity to be reincarnated. You will be rich and powerful, and deepen your connection with the world. However, the road will be dangerous and both good and bad will coexist.
