Chapter 117 This Might Be Destiny...
He covered Ron's mouth, who was about to ask.
"Shh-"
Lu Ren pointed to the downstairs lightly, then shook his head.Harry and the others also closed their mouths and listened attentively.
There were faint sounds from downstairs: deliberately lowered footsteps and the slight, slow creaking of planks.From the sound of footsteps, one can probably guess that a person is creeping up to the top of the tower.
So the question is, which of the following options will make such an action?
A. A professor who wants to come to the roof at night to blow some air
B. Couples who come to the Astronomy Tower at night to talk about love
C. Filch who came to the Astronomy Tower to catch people
It took Lu Ren and the others about 0.1 second to rule out the first two options.
Harry's face turned pale all of a sudden, and Hermione looked like she was about to faint.Lu Ren signaled them to keep quiet, and then tiptoedly led them to the edge of the astronomical tower.He glanced down, well, he can jump.
"If you jump, I will too." He lowered his voice and said to the three people around him.At the same time, he poured out a large pool of sand, which condensed into a large sand table.He stood up with the three of them, and then the sand table floated up unsteadily.
The sand table slowly floated down from the astronomical tower with four people at an uncomfortably fast speed.
Ron looked anxiously: "Brother, can you hurry up!"
Lu Ren gritted his teeth, beads of sweat came out of his head: "You said light, very heavy!"
The weight of the four people plus the sand already exceeded [-] catties, and it was very difficult to move on weekdays, not to mention that Lu Ren had just experienced a fierce battle and his magic power was on the verge of exhaustion.However, Lu Ren moved down obliquely very carefully, and soon the sand table entered the blind spot of the astronomy tower, even if Filch poked his head out from the side of the tower, he couldn't see them.
The three breathed a sigh of relief.But Lu Ren's face became paler and paler, he miscalculated the consumption speed of magic power.He originally thought that increasing the weight of three people would just multiply the consumption of mana by three, but Ron was too heavy, ah no, the weight increased, and the difficulty of control was also greatly increased, resulting in increased mana consumption, so his There is a high probability that the magic power is not enough for this group of people to float to the ground together.
Very well, free fall from high altitude.The four of you will soon find me in you, and you in me...
Lu Ren's forehead began to sweat.
Luckily, there is no such thing as an absolute path. Lu Ren saw a small open window on the castle, and quickly manipulated the sand table to float over, and then the four of them went in one by one.
Lu Ren heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off his head, "Take care here first..."
He felt someone tugging at the hem of his shirt, and there was a familiar stench in the air.
He looked up, and there was only one poem to describe this situation:
In this door last week and today, human faces and dog heads complement each other in red.The human face is gone and returned today, but the dog's head is still drooling.
"This is fate..." Lu Ren felt a little emotional, but he didn't feel any fear.
Looking at this big dog with three heads, Lu Ren just wanted to say that things are impermanent.
Three pairs of rolling eyes stared at him, and the saliva was dripping from the yellowed canines like sticky strings.
"Woof! (Why are you?)"
"Woof! (Why is it always you?)"
Lu Wei seemed to want to exchange pleasantries.
They backed away slowly step by step, and then touched the doorknob - it was locked.Hermione took out her wand, "Alahoo!" She quickly cast a lock-unlocking spell—thank God, someone will unlock the lock this time, and then the four of them rushed out at the speed of light, and Lu Ren directly closed the door with his backhand. It automatically locks with a click.Then there was a muffled sound, and it sounded like Lu Wei, who wanted to put the little wizards in his stomach to warm his body, hit the door panel.
The four calmed down in the corridor, and then they ran away, running all the way to the portrait of the fat lady in Gryffindor Tower before stopping.What about Filch, what about confinement, what about deducting points, in the eyes of Harry and the others, they are not important anymore.
It wasn't until they ran wildly for a while that they calmed down.My heart beat faster, but my mind calmed down.
"Where did you go?" The fat lady looked curious. At this time, her face was full of alcohol, and it seemed that she had just finished drinking.
Hermione was furious, "We still want to ask you! Where have you been?"
"I... went to drink with Yujiali..." the fat lady said drunkenly, "Password?"
"Pig nose."
The portrait spun to open the entrance, and when they got in, they could still hear the Fat Lady muttering: "Didn't your teacher teach you not to use interrogative sentences to answer interrogative sentences..."
Everyone sat slumped in the armchairs, and no one spoke for a long time.
"I don't understand why anyone would have a three-headed dog in school!" Ron broke the silence after a while.
Hermione also gradually recovered.
"Aren't eyes donated to those in need?" she said angrily. "Are you blind? It's standing over a trapdoor! A trapdoor that big!" Hermione waved The arm, gestured for the size.
She stood up and glared at the three boys.
"I'm going to bed. I hope this is your last late night outing. You won't be so lucky next time, God knows what will happen next time, roasted by a fire dragon, or kicked out of school! I'd rather choose the former."
Then she turned around and ran back to the girls' dormitory.
"What? We didn't force her to go..." Ron complained with wide eyes.
Lu Ren waved his hand wearily, indicating that he was also sleepy, so he went upstairs and went back to sleep.
When Ron and Lu Ren fell asleep, Harry was still awake.Fragmentary memories rolled in his mind, gradually pieced together into a complete puzzle.
A hellhound guarding things, a corridor that is forbidden to enter, the best place to hide things in the world outside Hogwarts, the dirty little bag that Hagrid took him to get...
He gradually straightened everything out.
……
Filch poked his head out furtively, and then jumped out, "Haha, I got caught..."
Looking at the empty tower, Filch fell into a rage.
"Bastard, bastard, lying trash! I'm going to hang you in my office! How dare you play me!"
The next day is Sunday, so don't get up too early.When the sun was high, there was a little movement in the dormitory, and Lu Ren and the others gradually woke up.
After Lu Ren woke up, he immediately picked up Gemma's notes from the side of his pillow, and read them.As for the papyrus scroll, he decided to read it later, because the scroll must have used the characters of that era—most likely ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, Lu Ren can't understand it, why not just look at the senior sister translation.
