MTL - A Magical Hogwarts-v7 Chapter 136 scam!

The Washington Monument in the United States emits a dazzling white light, shining like a treasure in the darkness.

​​

Whether Muggles or wizards, as long as they are in Washington, D.C., they can sense this power.

​​

They raised their heads... stared blankly at the dazzling light.

​​

The breeze came slowly, and the countless words swayed slightly from low to high.

​​

Soon someone saw three figures appearing on top of the spire.

​​

It's just that the light is too bright, and the shadows are so vivid that I can't see the face clearly.

​​

Standing on the top of the obelisk, William looked around.

​​

As the tallest building in Washington, the view from such a view is particularly spectacular.

​​

He didn't observe too much, and quickly looked down. At the feet are the peaks of the obelisk, wrapped in a small circle of aluminum foil.

​​

This is normal. In those days, aluminum was more precious than gold.

​​

At that time, Napoleon III specially made an aluminum crown. Even Napoleon III and his royal family members and noble ministers are eligible to enjoy aluminum cutlery.

​​

On that small piece of metal, there is also an inscription:

​​

lausdeo!

​​

"lausdeo..."

​​

Hermione, who had studied Latin, pondered for a moment, then muttered, "Praise God?"

​​

As a wizard, she actually wanted to translate it into: Praise Merlin.

​​

William felt that... this **** did not refer to the "God" of Muggles, nor was it the Merlin of wizards.

​​

It's the God of Death who is everywhere, yet everywhere.

​​

Praise the **** of death!

​​

After all... the prehistoric mysteries are hidden here.

​​

Of course, William was sure that the lost power was hiding here, not because of this inscription.

​​

It was because, standing on top of the Capitol earlier this evening, he accidentally saw something familiar.

​​

William looked down from the spire, and soon found the statue on the wall of the obelisk:

​​

An old-fashioned, monkey-like face, with a long, sparse beard that almost dragged to the hem of the wizard's robes.

​​

See the Slytherin statue again!

​​

This is already the third Slytherin statue that William has seen after the secret room and the root cave of the snake wood.

​​

It was because of it that he was basically certain that his power was hidden here.

​​

Yes, it can only be hidden here.

​​

The Washington Monument is the origin of the cross in Washington, D.C.

​​

The whole square is centered on it, and the four arms extend out, like the four-square reference pointer on a compass.

​​

It is both the center of the capital and the undisputed center of power in the United States!

​​

If he had to choose a place to store that power, William would also choose this obelisk.

​​

"Are you going to take it away?" Hermione looked down at the monument and said as a matter of course, "Pack up the entire monument and bring it back to England?"

​​

Traene on the side was stunned.

​​

This is the Washington Monument, one of the most important buildings in the United States.

​​

Not to mention the importance, the height alone is 169 meters high.

​​

And why did Hermione's tone sound more like picking up inconspicuous garbage on the roadside?

​​

Well, Hermione's good habit of "Operation Disc" was obviously familiar to William.

​​

If it was before, William agreed and packed the obelisk and brought it back to England.

​​

But at this moment, he was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head:

​​

"We don't take this power away, it's probably just a scam."

​​

"Scam?!" Hermione was puzzled. "Isn't this the power left by Slytherin?"

​​

William looked at the night in the distance and said softly, "Maybe, maybe not, but there is definitely something wrong with this power."

​​

Hermione tilted her head and looked blank, thinking about what details she had overlooked.

​​

William quickly explained:

​​

"It's normal that you don't remember, that was five years ago, when I first met Professor Babelin..."

​​

At that time, William entered the time loop for the second time.

​​

He wanted to learn ancient Rune, so he went to Babelin.

​​

William whispered: "At that time, Babrin told me that the original meaning of the ancient rune was important, not the translation of it.

Because one word, one mistranslation, is enough to rewrite history.

​​

for example……"

​​

The expression on William's face was extremely serious:

​​

"The image of Slytherin was originally recorded only in the Slytherin family, but it was all in the form of ancient runes.

​​

Later, Corvinus Gaunt translated this part into Latin.

​​

But he mistranslated 'Slytherin's face seemed to glow' as 'His face was like a monkey'.

​​

Since then, all Slytherin images have been a monkey face. "

​​

At that time, William was not deeply involved in the magic world, and he didn't pay much attention to this mistake, he just thought it was a small academic problem.

​​

But after encountering the Slytherin statue many times, William slowly realized that something was wrong.

​​

Very wrong!

​​

Hearing his words, Hermione was also keenly aware of what she remembered, and she said with a look of astonishment:

​​

"If Slytherin doesn't look like that, then the Slytherin statue in the secret room, and that secret room sanctuary..."

​​

"That's right!" William stared into Hermione's eyes, nodded and said:

​​

"The secret room is real, and so is the basilisk.

​​

But in the secret room, the secret room sanctuary that Tom found is probably a fake. "

​​

Back then, after Tom was resurrected from the diary, he found the so-called Sanctuary in the Slytherin statue in the secret room.

​​

And... Slytherin's notes.

​​

It was with the notes that he came to the United States, looking for the Slytherin wand and prehistoric mysteries.

​​

But the problem is that since the statue is fake, the so-called sanctuary of the secret room must also be fake.

​​

At least, not from Slytherin.

​​

He is even less likely to do what Tom said: to study magic, think about life, observe the universe, time and space, and even reflect on death in that room.

​​

And...leave thick notes.

​​

It's all a scam!

​​

So, who set this up?

​​

Countless evidence suggests that Corvinus Gaunt discovered the Chamber of Secrets earlier.

​​

Not only did he repair the plumbing at Hogwarts, he also covered it up.

​​

He was the first person to get the Slytherin look wrong.

​​

The statue and the room inside the statue were probably left by him.

​​

Of course, Slytherin may indeed have kept notes.

​​

After all, Tom disbanded the Horcrux community according to the magic in his notes, this can't be faked...

​​

But Gaunt was able to find the secret room, and even more the notes, but he didn't take it with him.

​​

And deliberately created a so-called sanctuary of secret rooms, forged to be a place for Slytherin to study, and left notes in it...

​​

This is very bad intentions.

​​

The most reasonable explanation:

​​

He deliberately modified the content~www.novelbuddy.com~ to lure latecomers to find prehistoric mysteries and magic wands.

​​

The content of the notes, true or false... Only then can people be deceived!

​​

And the proof is: on the wand and the obelisk, there are statues of Slytherin.

​​

It can only be said that he originally wanted to enhance the authenticity, but the small details were wrong, which gave William reason to doubt.

​​

What do you think, there is a conspiracy here!

​​

Although this Gaunt is Babel's father, when William met, he probably had to call him uncle... but we're going to be one size at a time.

​​

Anyway, this powerful force seems to be full of temptation, but it is actually full of poison.

​​

William wouldn't dare touch it!

​​

Whoever loves to touch whoever touches!

​​

Then again, Tom has been looking for it all the way, and this power is probably reserved for him on purpose.

​​

Unfortunately, Tom not only found the wrong place, but also died.

​​

William has some feeling: this tool man died too quickly.

​​

Brother must buy the paper version of the Washington Monument and burn it for you in the first seven!

​​

If you want to hate, just be very Voldemort, don't look for me again.
