Chapter 70
Chapter 70 The Past of the Bloody Barrow
Mrs. Pins did not expect that the third-grade transfer student had just left the library in the afternoon and came back in the evening.
This time he took Professor Lockhart’s pass note and prepared to enter the forbidden book area again.
There is absolutely no possibility that there are books about curses in the lobby of the library. They are extremely advanced black magic.
Professor Lockhart has recently appeared panicked, pacing back and forth in own office at all times, worried that Dumbledore will give him some dangerous tasks.
He has fallen in love with Life as a professor at Hogwarts. He has no life worry and can occasionally brag about it. Such a life is easy and comfortable for him.
But he knew that there was not much happy time left.
Professor Lockhart even suspected that Ulysses had told Dumbledore the secret, but Ulysses did not explain, but looked at him quietly. He saw Professor Lockhart’s scalp numb and he banned the book angrily. The pass for the district was given to him.
Mrs. Pins repeatedly confirmed to the note and confirmed that it was not the last one, and then reluctantly took the key and opened the door to Ulysses.
After Ulysses entered the forbidden book zone, he had a clear goal and tried his best to search for the magic book with “curse” in the title. This type of book is also very rare in the forbidden book zone. Ulysses searched for a long time before he saw a book called “The Secret of the Curse” in an inconspicuous corner.
Ulysses opened the pages of the book, carefully reading the nineteen curses recorded above, and carefully compared the curses in his body with the ones in the book, and finally confirmed that he was a kind of “demon devourer”. Curse.
Once this kind of curse takes effect, it will swallow the mana in the body of the cursed person, and even if the mana recovers faster, the curse of devouring will still be collected. In the end, when the magic power is swallowed up, the curse of devouring will replace the life force of the cursed person.
There are several illustrations of wizards who have been cursed by the Devourer. Most of them describe being dull, skinny, falling on the ground with hollow eyes, looking at the sky feebly, and it seems extremely difficult to move a finger.
Ulysses watched quietly, but his face was gloomy and his heart surged with anger. The curse caster made it clear that he was rushing to kill, and in the process, he had to make the cursed person feel the pain and despair of the magical power and even the gradual disappearance of vitality.
If it weren’t for Ulysses to react quickly and cut off most of the curses, he would have died in the secret room at this time.
Ulysses didn’t waste time, rummaging down to find a way to contact the curse.
There are only two methods recorded in the book. Either the person who casts the curse is Death, or the curse in the body is transferred to other creatures.
As for how to transfer, there is no mention in the book.
Ulysses closed the book and quickly thought about other countermeasures.
Ask Dumbledore for help? That would expose the information he knew about the secret room, and could only be used as a last resort.
Looking for Professor Flitwick? He has a profound knowledge of curses, but Ulysses is not sure whether he has dabbled in curses.
Ulysses thought about it, and finally decided to ask Professor Snape if he could do anything. He is not only a master of potions, but also has a deep research on black magic.
With the lessons learned from Tracy’s poisoning, if Professor Snape asked about the source of the curse, Ulysses could also use others’ harm as an excuse.
After making up his mind, Ulysses registered with Mrs. Pins, took the book out of the library and tucked it into his robe.
He intends to study this aspect carefully, so that he won’t be helpless if he encounters this method in the future.
Recently, the curfew in the school began after six o’clock. At this time, there were not many people on the road. Ulysses hurriedly walked straight to the cellar of the castle.
Walking in the corridor of the cellar, some ghosts belonging to Slytherin passed through Ulysses’s chest. Ulysses didn’t care, until a tall ghost suddenly stopped in front of him.
“Good evening, Barrow. I still have something…”
Ulysses frowned insignificantly and said politely.
The bloody Barrow’s dull eyes moved suddenly, his eyes fixed on Ulysses, his shackled hands were raised, and he said in a hoarse voice:
“Young man, you have a curse smell in you.”
Ulysses raised his head in surprise, and said:
“you know?”
“I am familiar with this kind of breath. In the last period of my life, I was tortured by curses all the time.”
Barrow the Blood Man said blankly, unable to see whether it was joy or sorrow.
“I’m sorry. But, do you have a way to lift the curse on me?”
Ulysses leaned back against the wall, looking directly at Barrow, the blood man.
“It can be seen that the magic flow around you is a little out of balance, and it should be the Curse of Devourer.”
The blood man Barrow floated up and said lightly, “This kind of curse was researched by Slytherin, and it has its own unique aspects of torture. The person who curses you should have a part of Slater in his body. Lin’s blood, otherwise he would not be able to cast the spell successfully.”
Ulysses heard his eyes widen slightly, and said in a deep voice:
“A descendant of Slytherin?”
“Yes. I entered the castle when the school was established, and studied under Slytherin for seven years. I can barely be regarded as his protégé. He revealed to me the secret of the Devourer’s Curse.”
When the blood man Barrow said this, there was a slight ups and downs in his tone, “Do one thing for me, and I will help you lift the curse.”
“Appreciate further details.”
Ulysses’ eyes flashed and decided to listen to Barrow’s condition first. If it is acceptable, there is no need to ask Professor Snape for help.
Barrow the blood lifted his hands up, and a few gray smoke slowly spilled out of his shackled palms. The smoke gradually condensed into a spherical shape with a streamer inside.
“Bring it to Helena and open it.”
Barrow, the blood man, stared at the smoke ball and said in a quiet voice.
“So simple?”
Ulysses asked in surprise.
“simple?”
Barrow the blood man smiled bitterly, “For thousands of years, Helena has never wanted to see me. I have entrusted many people, hoping that they can bring my words to her, but she avoided it every time. Do you still find it simple now?”
Ulysses was secretly speechless, and suddenly felt the pressure. He pondered for a moment, and then cautiously said:
“If you don’t mind, tell me your story? That way I can prepare the words…”
The Blood Man Barrow glanced at him and fell silent. After a while, he faintly spoke:
“We are all the generation at the beginning of Hogwarts. I am a student of Slytherin and she is the daughter of Ravenclaw. At school, I was obsessed with her beauty and temperament, and soon started Pursuit. Although she has repeatedly refused, I can see that she gradually has a good impression of me.”
“Later, during a mission out of school, I was carelessly cursed by a hostile wizard. The Curse of Souls made me grumpy, moody, and not near strangers. Every time I get angry, my vitality will flow faster.”
“After returning to school, Slytherin helped me study the method to break the curse. However, before he could work it out, I got the news that Helena had made a big mistake and fled to Albania. I followed Albania and asked her Go back to school with me, she refused.”
Speaking of this, Barrow’s voice trembled slightly, “Then, in extreme anger, I missed her and killed her. When I became awake, she was already in a pool of blood. The flames of guilt and regret almost spoke. I swallowed, so I wiped my throat with her knife.”
