I'm in Hogwarts, what the hell is the Honghuang system?

Chapter 203: Heaven? I lose again, so what?!
Looking at the mysterious statue flying into his hand and the prompt appearing on the system screen, Rhine's pupils shrank slightly.

“This statue…”

"It seems to have a similar feeling to the statue I saw on Marcus Flint earlier. Is this related to an Old One?"

"Is it the Old One whose bloodline the Dumbledore family ancestors stole?"

"Is this what the system said about my chance to obtain the Lidi Flame Flag?"

His brows furrowed, not understanding where this opportunity would come from.

At this moment, Dumbledore and Aberforth were also a little surprised when they saw the statue flying into Rhine's hands.

"what is this?"

Dumbledore was confused.

Aberforth also had a bewildered look on his face, and after a long while he spoke in surprise and doubt.

"I don't know either. It should be something from the box that represents the family heritage left by my father and mother?"

"Merlin, I haven't looked at this box since that incident. I thought I threw it out during the garbage collection, but I didn't expect it to still be here."

"As for what this thing is, let me look for it. I remember our ancestors seemed to have left behind some kind of mural..."

Then, Aberforth rummaged through the wooden boxes in the house and finally found a stone tablet with a picture engraved on it.

On the stone slab, one can see a small figure holding a mysterious statue, facing a huge and unclear existence.

Drops of something that looked like blood dripped from that vague existence.

Unfortunately, with the passage of time, the traces on the picture have become quite blurred, and these are all that can be seen.

But this also made Aberforth suddenly realize.

"So, our ancestor once fought a dangerous magical beast, and this statue is something like an amulet, or something that can restrain that magical beast?"

"But I've never heard of such a legend. This story shouldn't be considered a legend."

"After so many years, this statue should only have commemorative value and is worthless."

Dumbledore was still worried and carefully used various magic to detect the statue, but the conclusions he reached showed that it was just an ordinary statue.

Only then did he feel relieved and agreed with Aberforth's opinion.

"Having said that, for us members of the Dumbledore family, things belonging to our ancestors still have commemorative significance."

He looked at Rhine again.

"Rhine, although the blood magic may have been affected in some way, it is still uncertain which branch of the Dumbledore family you belong to."

"But it can be confirmed that you do have the blood of the Dumbledore family."

"Since the ancestral statue has chosen you, you should keep it."

Rhine nodded, but a strange look flashed across his eyes.

Perhaps it was because it was dark and Dumbledore didn't think too much about it, so he didn't notice anything unusual about the stone.

But Rhine saw it at a glance.

The traces of wear on the stone flakes are not natural wear and tear, but man-made.

It seems that some beings do not want some content to exist in the world, so they destroy it.

But this can hinder ordinary people, but it cannot hinder Rhine.

The subtle heavenly eye can capture even the tiniest traces. Once it scans the stone, it can immediately restore the destroyed content through those traces.

This also made Rhine's gaze towards the statue become quite solemn.

According to the description on the stone flake, this statue is not a commemorative object or an amulet at all.

On the contrary, it is a key, a key to the kingdom of the Old Ones!

The ancestor of the Dumbledore family used this key to steal the blood of the Old One, giving the descendants of the Dumbledore family the blood that allowed them to cast magic.

But the act of stealing magic is bound to be punished.

Or all descendants of the entire family will become followers of the Old Ones and degenerate into crazy evil creatures.

Or find a way to make the Old Ones fall into eternal sleep, or even - kill them!

Dumbledore's ancestor could not do such a thing.

He could only try to prolong the Old One's sleep at the cost of sacrificing himself.

It wasn't just him. Almost all the first wizards who stole the bloodline of the old times made the same choice.

Leave hope to future generations!
In their view, as time goes by, wizards will delve deeper into the power of magic, and it may be possible for them to surpass the past on this basis.

It is not impossible to destroy the old days.

It was for this reason that Dumbledore's ancestor left behind this statue leading to the Old Kingdom, waiting for the next descendant of the Dumbledore family with blood nearly as strong as his to appear and completely end this Old Kingdom.

If this is achieved, the Dumbledore family will completely get rid of the shadow of the Old Ones and completely control the power they have seized!

The same is true for other families. Their ancestors used their bodies as fire, leaving behind a spark, waiting for the moment when the fire would spread across the prairie!

Unfortunately, they never imagined that the development of magic was not a straight line, but a spiral.

There was even a long period of time when magic was actually regressing.

Many ancient magics have been lost in modern times.

For most wizards, their exploration of magic comes to an abrupt end when they graduate. In the remaining time, the biggest role of magic is to help them save some trivial matters of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The scene envisioned by Dumbledore's ancestors, in which all wizards would share their knowledge and experience with each other in order to destroy the Old Ones, strive for excellence, and develop magic to a level that he could hardly imagine, never happened.

Even after all these years, Rhine is still the first wizard who can touch this statue!

Thinking of this, Rhine not only sighed, but also felt a little alert in his heart.

Could it be that at the beginning, the wizards were really trying to kill the Old Ones after stealing their bloodline?
The alliance of the twenty-eight sacred families once left behind a sacred covenant.

However, in the twists and turns of the years, the once clear goals were gradually buried by history.

The twenty-eight sacred families that were supposed to stand side by side were gradually divided.

Various internal conflicts have emerged one after another, and there have been many disasters and wars that have swept the wizarding world in history.

Could it be that behind all this, there is the hidden influence of the will of the Old Ones?

Just like the stone tablet in Dumbledore's house, the truth was gradually erased.

Just like Albus Dumbledore, who had great hopes of reaching the level expected by his ancestors, he left a permanent mental hole that has not been filled in hundreds of years, and he has never been able to take a step beyond the limits of wizards.

If we are to be more conspiratorial, then Rhine has a guess - while the wizards are trying to kill the Old Ones, the high and mighty Old Ones, after suffering the loss of their bloodline being stolen, are also strangling the wizards' already slim hopes.

The war between wizards and the old times may have never ended from the beginning, but it is just hidden under the dust of history.

Then, Rhine looked at the statue in his hand that could enter the old kingdom, and his expression became more and more solemn.

Possessing this statue might mean taking over the cause and effect between the Dumbledore family and this Old One.

An old body, this is definitely not something Rhine can contend with at this moment.

Even if the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation Flag is used, it will probably be crushed and destroyed!

In front of his eyes, chaotic and trembling words appeared on the system screen, as if warning him.

[With the opportunity of obtaining the Flame Flag, you also discovered information about the ancestors of the human race hidden in history.]

[Suiren made fire, Youchao built houses...both were blessed with great merits]

[Even though it is difficult to achieve a saint through this, it is not impossible to achieve the peak of quasi-sainthood and approach sainthood.]

[However, Suirenshi, Youchaoshi and other ancestors of the human race gave up the opportunity to pursue the Way of Heaven and placed all their hopes on the human race, hoping that the Way of Humanity would flourish.]

[Ancestors such as Suiren left a message to their descendants: humanity should be self-reliant, and human destiny should be controlled by itself, not by heaven, nor by the many immortals and gods in heaven. Even saints have no right to decide the fate of humanity.]

【I control my own life! 】

[At this moment, you seem to hear the unwilling roar of humanity throughout history. Similar to the Underworld, humanity is also being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao represented by Patriarch Hongjun!]

[Taking this opportunity will certainly give you a chance to obtain the Flame Flag, but it will also require you to bear the great karma of humanity replacing the way of heaven. Even a saint would find it difficult to bear such karma. Host, be cautious!]

There was a strange look in Rhine's eyes.

Can man conquer heaven?

I control my own life?
He seemed to see through history, and saw the figures of the ancestors of the twenty-eight sacred families who had defied the world and stolen the blood of the Old Ones.

As the first people to steal the bloodline, the magic power they obtained must be beyond imagination.

If they wished, transforming into evil beings and gaining eternal life would be easy.

But most people decided to sacrifice themselves and leave hope to future wizards.

Rhine looked at these figures with a bit more respect on his face.

Immediately, his eyes fell on the statue.

If this statue leads to the kingdom of the Old Ones, there really is a chance to find the Flame Flag, or at least something similar.

Then one of the five innate flags is enough to protect the treasure that can help one attain enlightenment, which is enough for Rhine to take the risk.

not to mention--

"To destroy the old days?"

"Anyway, this feud has already been taken on, so what's the harm in taking on one more cause and effect?"

"I accept this opportunity!"

Passionate words appeared on the system screen.

[How can we, the younger generation, who have received such grace from our ancestors, retreat and retreat?]

If the later generations cannot surpass the previous generations, then wouldn't they be useless?

[Heaven, this isn't the first time I've lost, so what if I lose him again?!]

After taking a deep breath, Rhine grasped the statue and put it into the Yuanhai, suppressing it with the Qingyun Purple Gold Crown, the Avici Hell Sword, and the Zhoutian Star Array Flag.

In this way, even if the Old Ones behind it intend to project themselves down like Dagon, they will be killed in an instant and will not be able to cause any trouble.

As for entering that old country, Rhine is not so reckless.

There is still a long time before the ancient times return and the old days are revived.

If there is really a possibility that he will face a force close to the level of the old Japanese body, his current strength is still far from enough, and it is almost a situation where he has no chance of survival. He has to continue to improve his strength and not rush in rashly.

At the same time, Rhine's eyes flashed with an obscure and mysterious light.

The talent that Tianji was measuring has already been used.

After a moment, Rhine groaned, the mysterious light in his eyes dissipated, and his face turned pale in an instant.

But then, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Just now, he was trying to divine if there was any way to make himself more confident in entering the old kingdom behind the statue, and he actually figured out some clues.

However, the divination result surprised Rhine quite a bit.

"If there's anything else in the wizarding world that can give me a three-point advantage in entering the Old Kingdom earlier, two of those advantages are due to Peter Pettigrew?"

After thinking for a moment, Rhine roughly understood where this confidence came from.

Peter Pettigrew's talent is really remarkable in certain situations.

After all, he is an existence that can be judged by the system as the Long Er Ding Guang Immortal.

There are very few beings in the Conferred God Tribulation who can deceive the saints, and Chang Er Ding Guang Xian is one of them! Hiding his energy and concealing his intentions can greatly reduce his presence.

He can conceal the secrets of heaven and earth by faking his death or disguising himself, making most of the divination methods ineffective on him.

As for that betrayal, it is even more powerful. It is the only talent that Rhine has seen that can be effective against a saint, and it is enough to backstab a saint!

If he could acquire the talents of concealing the truth and betrayal, and manipulate them, he might be able to enter the old kingdom in advance and find a chance to obtain something similar to the Flame Flag.

Apart from that, the remaining confidence lies with Harry.

To be precise, it is related to something inherited by Harry.

"The Deathly Hallows—the Cloak of Invisibility!"

A sudden realization dawned on him, and Rhine said goodbye to Dumbledore and Aberforth and returned to Hogwarts Castle.

Although it is not yet time to enter the Old Kingdom, it is always a good idea to make preparations early.

The sooner Rhine is able to obtain the Flame Flag, even if it is just a defective product of similar nature in the magic world, it will be enough to give Rhine an extra method that is so powerful that it defies the heavens.

Before the return of ancient times, one step faster, every step faster!

Soon, Rhine returned to the dormitory.

He remembered that during the previous Christmas holidays, Dumbledore had returned the Invisibility Cloak to Harry as a gift, just like in the original book.

But when he stepped into the dormitory, he saw Harry looking anxious and angry.

The entire dormitory was turned upside down, as if someone was looking for something.

Rhine was stunned for a moment.

"Harry, what's wrong?"

"Something was lost in the dormitory?"

Harry nodded anxiously.

"That invisibility cloak I got for Christmas is gone!"

"I clearly put it in the box. I wanted to wear it for a night out after the holiday, but when I opened the box tonight, I found that the invisibility cloak was gone."

"I searched the dormitory but couldn't find it."

Harry's lips moved.

"I suspect... someone stole it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became a little unnatural, as if there were suspicious eyes scanning around.

Some people's faces turned red, as if they were eager to speak up to prove their innocence.

Rhine also raised his eyebrows and interrupted Harry.

"Harry, I understand you're anxious."

"But I believe my roommates, if the invisibility cloak was really stolen, it wouldn't be someone from our roommates."

Harry also realized that his previous words had led to misunderstanding, and he stamped his feet and spoke.

"Of course I don't mean the people in our dormitory. I mean... the bad guys in the castle."

As soon as Harry said this, Neville and Ron's expressions changed.

"Harry, you mean?"

Harry nodded vigorously, cracking his nails.

"Why did you steal the invisibility cloak?"

"Ron said my invisibility cloak is definitely unusual, which means it might allow someone to sneak into places that are otherwise difficult to access."

"For example, it can allow us to sneak around the castle at night without anyone noticing, but in the hands of some bad people, they can use it to achieve their own ulterior motives."

"for example……"

Harry didn't say it out loud, but Ron and Neville, who had participated in the level-breaking game, already understood what he meant.

The villain who plotted to get the Philosopher's Stone might have stolen the invisibility cloak in order to bypass the three-headed dog Fluffy and the subsequent levels.

Considering how much Harry treasures his Invisibility Cloak, maybe it will work!

Now, they also became nervous.

"This is incredible. If the bad guy puts on an invisibility cloak, we won't know where he is."

"That's a permanent invisibility cloak. How do I find it?"

Rhine raised his eyebrows slightly, counted with his fingers, and suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Wow, Harry's intuition is really accurate!

According to Tianji's talent test, the invisibility cloak was actually stolen by Voldemort and Quirrell.

Their goal is to use this invisibility cloak, which is much stronger than the Disillusionment Charm, to bypass a series of obstacles such as the three-headed dog and get the Philosopher's Stone.

"You guessed it right. The invisibility cloak was indeed stolen by someone with bad intentions."

As soon as Rhine said this, Harry and the others wanted to rush out immediately.

"Rhine, we have to guard the Philosopher's Stone."

Rhine waved his hand and showed a somewhat weird smile.

"Don't worry, that person just stole the invisibility cloak not long ago and hasn't had time to act yet. You don't need to be so anxious."

"Besides, it's just an invisibility cloak. It's too easy to crack it."

"You don't think that the level I set up can be easily bypassed by tricks, do you?"

Immediately, Rhine left the dormitory and entered the level-breaking game.

At this time, Lu Wei had taken too many pills and had been infused with a lot of spiritual energy by Rhine, so his atavistic characteristics became more and more obvious.

Originally it only had three heads, but now it has grown five heads, and the aura it exudes is becoming more and more powerful.

When he heard the noise coming from the door, Lu Wei was quite excited and looked very majestic.

But when he saw it was Rhine, Lu Wei immediately lay down and kept wagging his tail.

There is no way. Even though it has become a five-headed dog now, the horror of Rhine is still deeply imprinted in its heart.

What's more, as soon as Rhine came in, Lu Wei smelled a strong sense of oppression, as if he was facing something incomprehensible.

This little monster wizard has become stronger again!

What a freak! Every time we meet, his strength changes.

By now, if Dumbledore faced this little monster, he would probably be beaten up!
Looking at Lou Wei who was showing a flattering look, Rhine snapped his fingers and a stream of spiritual energy shot into its body, making it let out a comfortable cry.

"Lu Wei, some ignorant people may come uninvited these days. You must keep a close eye on the door and greet them well."

"If you do well, I'll give you another pill later."

Lu Wei immediately bared his teeth.

Except for being deeply afraid of Rhine, it was not afraid of other wizards at all.

If I can’t beat Rhine, how can I beat you?
Being able to beat people up and eat pills at the same time, how great is that!

Then, Rhine raised his hand again, and piles of ore left over from the last refining of the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array Flag emerged. Rhine put them into magic spells and refined them with the Fengqi Wutong Fire.

A moment later, an object like a Si Nan was refined by Rhine and embedded in Lu Wei's head.

Lu Wei's face was full of curiosity, as if he had obtained a new toy, and he kept trying to fiddle with it.

Rhine showed a strange smile.

On this Si Nan, he used the Heavenly Demon Refining Treasure Technique to penetrate several invisible detection restrictions.

Although the level is not high, it can be considered a low-grade magic weapon.

During the great war between wizards and liches in ancient times, this magic weapon was used to break the spell of invisibility.

Although it is unable to do anything about those high-level spells or even the concealment magic that can hide cause and effect and the secrets of heaven, the low-level ability to conceal the body is completely exposed in front of it.

It is enough to deal with the invisibility cloaks in the magical world, even the invisibility cloak in the Deathly Hallows!

Rhine said to Lu Wei.

"As long as you see the Si Nan turning, you jump wherever it points. That's it. Got it?"

Lu Wei grinned, and all five heads nodded in unison.

That's it?

It's so smart!
Just pounce wherever there is shaking, simple!
At this moment, Rhine suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Wait, don't rush."

"Let's act it out first. You can act, right?"

……

Meanwhile, in Quirrell's office.

Quirrell's voice was filled with excitement.

"Owner!"

"This is simply fate's blessing!"

"Harry Potter actually received such a powerful invisibility cloak? I've seen so many alchemical items in my life, and I've seen dozens of invisibility cloaks, but I've never seen one that can compare to this!"

On the table in front of him lay a silver-gleaming invisibility cloak.

Quirrell looked at it with an expression of intense, fascination.

Even the knowledgeable Voldemort did not deny Quirrell's praise for the invisibility cloak.

"The Potter family actually has such good things?"

"This invisibility cloak is indeed a rare treasure in the wizarding world."

Voldemort suddenly felt a little regretful.

If I had gotten this invisibility cloak back then, maybe I could have made it into my own Horcrux.

Such a treasure has such qualifications!

But now, it can also work for itself.

An invisibility cloak of this specification is enough to deceive most beings in the magical world.

If I could add the Disillusionment Spell, it would be even safer.

No matter how ferocious the three-headed dog is, it can be bypassed in this way!

As expected, fate was kind to me, Voldemort, and gave me this invisibility cloak when I was at my wit's end.

I just want to ask this magical world, who else can stop me from getting the Philosopher's Stone?

Voldemort sighed deeply.

"After lying dormant for so long, today is the day to make a comeback!"

"Qirro, tonight, I will take back everything I lost!"
