Chapter 132 Slytherin's Wand(1/2)
The Washington Monument in the United States emits dazzling white light, flashing like a treasure in the dark.
Whether it is Muggles or wizards, as long as they are in Washington, DC, you can sense this power.
They raised their heads... and stared blankly at the dazzling light.
The breeze comes slowly, and countless words sway from low to high, swaying slightly in turn. The scene is not like the world, making people unable to help but worship.
Soon someone saw three figures appeared on the spire.
It’s just that the light is too strong and the shadows are so vague that I can’t see clearly.
Standing on the top of the obelisk, William looked around.
As the tallest building in Washington, the view is particularly spectacular.
He did not observe too much, and soon looked down. At his feet was the peak of the obelisk, and a small circle of aluminum foil was wrapped.
This is normal. In that era, aluminum was more precious than gold.
At that time, Napoleon III specially made an aluminum crown. Even Napoleon III and his royal family members, noble ministers were qualified to enjoy aluminum knife and fork.
There is also an inscription engraved on that small piece of metal:
LausDeo!
“LausDeo…”
Hermione had studied Latin, and she pondered for a moment and muttered, "Praise God?"
As a wizard, she actually wants to translate it as: praise Merlin.
William felt that... this god did not refer to Muggle's "God" or Merlin of the wizard.
But the god of death who is everywhere but everywhere.
Praise the God of Death!
After all...the prehistoric mystery is hidden here.
Of course, William was sure that the lost power was hidden here, not because of this inscription.
But because, earlier tonight, standing at the top of the Capitol, he accidentally saw something familiar.
William's eyes moved down from the spire, and soon found the statue on the wall of the obelisk:
An old, monkey-like face, and a sparse beard, almost dragged to the hem of the wizard's robe.
See Slytherin's statue again!
This is already the third Slytherin statue that William has seen after the cave at the root of the snake wood.
It is because of it that he is basically sure that the power is hidden here.
Yes, I can only hide here.
The Washington Monument is the cross origin of Washington, DC.
The entire square is centered on it, with four arms extending, like a four-sided reference pointer on a compass.
It is both the center of the capital and the undisputed center of power for the United States!
If you want to choose a place to store that power, William will also choose this obelisk.
"Do you want to take it away?" Hermione looked down at the monument and said naturally: "Pack up the entire monument and bring it back to England?"
Terenie 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 does Hermione's tone sound more like picking up inconspicuous garbage on the roadside?
Well, Hermione's good habit of "Plate Operation" was obviously influenced by William.
If it were before, William agreed and directly packed the obelisk and brought it back to the UK.
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 puzzled. "Isn't this the power left by Slytherin?"
William looked at the distant night and whispered: "Maybe, maybe not, but there is absolutely a problem with this power."
Hermione tilted her head and looked confused. She was thinking about what details she had overlooked.
William quickly explained:
"It's normal that you don't remember. It was five years ago, when I first met Professor Babuling..."
At that time, it was the second time that William entered the time loop.
If he wanted to learn ancient magical scriptures, he went to Babuling.
William whispered: "At that time, Babuling told me that the original meaning of ancient magic texts was very important, rather than translating it.
Because a word, a mistranslation is enough to rewrite history.
for example……"
The expression on William's face was extremely serious:
"The image of Slytherin was originally recorded in the Slytherin family, but they were all in the form of ancient magical texts.
Later, Kovinus Gunter translated this part of the content into Latin.
But he mistakenly translated ‘Slytherin’s face as if it was glowing’ into ‘his face as if it was monkey’.
Since then, all Slytherin images have been a monkey face.”
At that time, William had not been involved in the magic world deeply, and did not pay much attention to this mistake, and only thought it was a small academic problem.
But with multiple encounters with the Slytherin statue, William gradually realized something was wrong.
Something is very wrong!
Hearing his words, Hermione was also keenly aware of what she remembered, and she said with a look of surprise:
"If Slytherin's appearance was not like that, the Slytherin statue in the secret room, and the secret room sanctuary..."
"That's right!" William stared into Hermione's eyes and nodded:
"The secret room is real, and the snake monster is real.
But in the secret room, the secret room that Tom found, was probably fake."
Back then, after Tom was resurrected from his diary, he found the so-called Sanctuary of the Secret Room in the Slytherin statue in the Secret Room.
And... Slytherin's notes.
It was through notes that he came to the United States to find the Slytherin wand and prehistoric mysteries.
But the problem is that since the statue is fake, the so-called secret room and sanctuary must be fake.
At least, it was not left by Slytherin.
He is even more unlikely to be as Tom said: to study magic, think about life, observe the universe, time and space, and even reflect on death.
And... Leave thick notes.
All are scams!
So, who set this up?
Countless evidence shows that Covinus Gunter discovered the secret room earlier.
He not only repaired the Hogwarts piping system, but also covered it up.
He was the first person to make mistakes about Slytherin's appearance.
The statue and the room inside the statue are most likely left by him.
Of course, Slytherin may have left notes.
After all, Tom removed the Horcrux Community according to the magic in the notes, and this cannot be faked...
But Gunter could discover the secret room and even more notes, but he did not take them away.
There was also a so-called sanctuary of secret rooms that were deliberately created, pretending to be a place where Slytherin studied, leaving notes inside...
This is very bad intentions.
The most reasonable explanation:
He deliberately modified the content to lure the later generations to find prehistoric mysteries and magic wands.
The content of the notes is true and false... Only then can you deceive people!
And the evidence is that there are statues of Slytherin on the wand and the obelisk.
It can only be said that he originally wanted to enhance the authenticity, but the small details were wrong, which gave William the reason for doubt.
No matter how you look at it, there are conspiracies here!
To be continued...
