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

Chapter 227 Demon Ancestor Rahu, what can you do to me? Listen to the death knell!
Soon, Voldemort and Quirrell used a crystal ball to record a piece of music played on Hades' harp and mixed it into a piece from the mythological era.

"The moment Rhein Snow hears that piece of music I play, he is doomed; his soul will die."

The Harp of Hades is full of confidence.

A glimmer of hope rose in the hearts of Voldemort and Quirrell.

Perhaps this time it's really possible to kill Rhine?
No, even if I can't kill him, I'll seriously injure him and keep him unconscious for half a month or even a month!

Without Rhine's interference, those levels could hold Voldemort back for a while, but as long as he abandoned the idea of ​​speedrunning and made sufficient preparations, breaking through all the levels was only a matter of time.

If the Harp of Hades can truly work its magic, obtaining the Philosopher's Stone will be just around the corner!

The biggest problem now is whether the crystal ball can be successfully delivered to Rhine.

Considering their terrible luck lately, Voldemort and Quirrell were also feeling uncertain.

But they had no choice but to bite the bullet and send the crystal ball, which recorded a short prelude to the dead, to Wanbaoge.

At this moment, in addition to customers queuing to buy talismans, there was also a queue of people holding crystal balls or sheet music at the entrance of Wanbaoge.

These are all wizards who want to try trading sheet music for Galleons.

Of course, it would be even better if I could exchange it for a talisman, especially a small Vajra talisman.

After all, the Little Vajra Talisman is now extremely rare and expensive!
Voldemort and Quirrell breathed a slight sigh of relief.

With so many people, it should be easy to confuse them by mixing in the Overture to the Dead.

There's also the score that incorporates elements of the Overture to the Dead. Although it doesn't have the deadly effect of the ancient Overture to the Dead, it's still an unmistakable piece from the mythological era.

According to Hades' lyre, this was a piece of music played during the gods' feasts, and it had a soothing effect on the spirit.

In this era, it must be a lost treasure, and it even has a certain auxiliary effect on potion masters and alchemy masters.

If Rhine truly sought these musical pieces, then he would surely have listened to the music of the gods' feast, and at the moment when he was most engrossed in it, a dirge was played to send off the little wizard who had captured the attention of the rulers!

With a thought flashing through their minds, Voldemort and Quirrell joined the end of the line, slowly following the crowd as they walked inside.

Meanwhile, inside Wanbaoge, Rhein was frowning as he listened to the performance of the so-called street musician who had come to apply for a job as a shop assistant.

Having reached his level of strength, Rhine thought that there were very few things in the magical world that could shake his resolve.

But he had to admit that the “musician”’s performance had already achieved a level of elegance comparable to the whispers of the past that he had heard.

After a moment, Rhine could no longer contain himself and interrupted the person playing in front of him.

"Alright, that's enough for now."

"Go back and wait for news. If you don't receive any news within three days, it means that your conditions are probably not suitable for this place."

The "musician" in front of me, however, was full of confidence.

"Yes, I understand."

"There are still quite a few applicants, so the necessary procedures still need to be followed."

"But actually, three days is really unnecessary. I know that when you hear my music, you will already be captivated. Besides me, who else can appreciate so many ancient pieces?"

"Then I'll go back and prepare now. See you in three days."

Rhein stared blankly at the guy's back as he turned away with a flourish, and only after a few seconds did he look at Fred and George.

"Where did you find this genius?"

Fred and George stared blankly at Rhine, then suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly took the cotton out of their ears.

"Oh!"

The world is quiet!

“Alright, I know you’re probably wondering where we found this brilliant mind, Rhine, but all I can say is that this is the level of music in the magical world.”

"Please, you don't think we wizards have great taste in music, do you? You should have realized that from the moment we sang the Hogwarts school song upon entering the school."

"Appreciating and playing music, especially ancient pieces, is something that only pure-blood families would do. I'm referring to pure-blood nobles, not pure-blood commoners like us from the Weasley family."

“But who from a pure-blood noble family would apply for a job at Wanbao Pavilion unless they were desperate? I mean, with so many Squibs here, and it's just the two of us Weasleys in charge…”

Fred and George shrugged, indicating that they were helpless as well.

Rhine sighed.

Unfortunately, his Fuxi Divine Heaven Echoes are still some distance from the basics. The more musical pieces he listens to, the better it will be for him to get started.

Once you get the hang of it, this supernatural ability will be his strongest technique besides the Zhou Tian Star Array Flag, so of course the faster you get the hang of it, the better.

But to find something valuable among the musical pieces sent by these wizards is truly like finding gold in dung.

Rhine couldn't possibly spend all his time on this; otherwise, he might as well devote himself entirely to understanding it, and perhaps he could get the basics down much faster.

To truly increase efficiency, we need music experts to help with identification and selection.

He shook his head helplessly.

Are there any other candidates who have come for interviews?

Fred and George glanced at the application form.

"There is still one."

"Ms. J.F."

"Looks like it's another stage name or pseudonym. To be honest, I don't know why these street musicians have to use these fancy things."

Rhine took a deep breath.

"Never mind, let her in."

"No matter what, it can't be any more outrageous than the last one, right?"

Then, a figure that Rhine never expected appeared before him.

It was Gemma Farley, the Slytherin prefect she had met once before, who was identified by the system as Gao Lanying in the Investiture of the Gods.

Rhine never expected that she would be the last person to apply for a job at Wanbaoge.

"Senior Gemma?"

When Gemma Farley saw Rhine, she paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile, revealing an expression that said, "I knew it."

"I was wondering who owned Wanbaoge before, and I thought it must be related to you, junior Rhine. Turns out it really is you."

"Okay, as you can see, I saw Wanbaoge's job posting and am here to apply for a part-time position."

"As for musical skills, don't worry. Although the Farley family has declined, they have never lost their aristocratic refinement. I have been learning music and dance since I was a child."

Rhine shook his head.

"It's not that I doubt that."

The Farley family is one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Families, and their status is far above that of ordinary pure-blood nobles.

As the Weasley brothers just said, the probability of a pure-blood noble applying for a job at a place like the Wanbaoge, which has both Squibs and Weasley family members, is really low.

Furthermore, she and the Weasley brothers were both Gryffindors, but she was a Slytherin prefect.

From any perspective, there's no benefit to her working part-time here; in fact, it's likely to attract criticism.

Rhein subtly inquired about this matter with Gemma Farley.

Gemma Farley's smile was bitter.

"Junior, you don't need to be so tactful. I know what you want to say."

"It's nothing more than the discussions among the other Slytherin students, and some criticisms from noble families..."

"I can't worry about things like that anymore."

Her eyes suddenly reddened, and she quickly wiped them.

“Something happened at home and I needed money. The part-time job here pays very well, so I applied.”

Just then, lines of information appeared on Rhein's system screen.

[Gao Lanying, a girl you met once before, has suffered a family tragedy and is forced to perform for a living to earn resources for her cultivation. She has come to Wanbaoge for help.]

If that were all, Rhein wouldn't care.

But then, another line of chaotic writing appeared.

[This matter is subtly related to the schemes of yet another sage. The host has become the target of public criticism. At this juncture, it is advisable not to create unnecessary complications.]

[System Recommendation - Expel them from the group to avoid exacerbating the karmic consequences]

Rhine frowned.

Is it related to a sage again?

That means the events in Gemma Farley's family are related to the Great Old Ones?
The Farley family has fallen into such a state of decline. Their last prominent figure was the Minister of Magic nearly a hundred years ago. So how did they become connected to the Great Old Ones?

But a moment later, Rhine remembered the whereabouts of Gemma Farley from the original story.

That is—no whereabouts.

After graduating, Gemma Farley disappeared from the wizarding world.

Even the Farley family has not appeared on any occasion since, nor has it joined any faction.

They were neither among the Death Eaters nor on the side of the Order of the Phoenix; it was as if they had vanished into thin air from the wizarding world.

But Gemma Farley was, after all, a prefectural chair in Slytherin, one of the most outstanding students in Slytherin House.

Furthermore, the Farley family is one of the twenty-eight pure-blood families, so they shouldn't be unknown.

Could it be that, in the original story, the Farley family also experienced some changes due to the Great Old Ones?

This time, however, due to his own influence, the return of the ancients has been accelerated, and signs of this change have begun to appear earlier than expected.

Just like Marcus Flint, who was previously controlled by the Dagon statue and transformed into an evil entity to attack him?
However, judging from the system notification, it shouldn't be that serious yet. Thinking of Marcus Flint's attack, Rhine's eyes lit up.

That allowed him to obtain a drop of Dagon's blood, a truly huge profit.

If we could do it again, we would be incredibly rich! The Great Old Ones are a treasure trove!

Thinking of this, his gaze toward Gemma Farley became somewhat meaningful.

The system has identified Gao Lanying as the girl, and there are still two rewards I haven't received from her.

The talent of "Divine Eyes Like Lightning" doesn't significantly enhance someone who already possesses the "Insightful Heavenly Eye."

But perhaps it can be further refined with the Cave Microscopic Eye, gradually pushing it to a higher level.

The final reward was the method for crafting the Sun God Needle.

In the original story of Fengshen, Gao Lanying made great contributions with the help of the Sun God Needle.

Of course, concealed weapons were not Rhine's favorite.

Moreover, although the Sun God Needle is powerful, Rhine might still be able to obtain the method for forging the Immortal Slayer Flying Knife from Nicolas Flamel.

The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife is the number one hidden weapon in the Investiture of the Gods, with unparalleled destructive power, far surpassing the Sun God Needle.

However, Rhine's focus on the Sun Needle stemmed from its method of drawing upon the power of the sun to condense into a needle.

Of the secret techniques of the Golden Crow Demon Court that Rhine obtained, the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique has not yet been practiced.

It wasn't that Rhine didn't want to practice, but after some research, they had no choice but to give up.

The reason is simple: the Golden Crow Transformation into a Rainbow Technique can only be used by those with the Golden Crow bloodline.

At the very least, it would require the power of the sun to barely unleash its full potential.

Although the power of Rhine's Yuanhai can reverse the evolution of various primordial energies in the world, the power of the sun is transformed from the golden crow, and even the Five Elements Reversal Return to Yuanhai from the Burning Lamp Daoist cannot absorb it.

Therefore, if Rhine could obtain the method for refining the Golden Needle of the Sun from Gemma Farley, he might be able to use the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique, a top-tier ancient escape technique.

At this moment, Gemma Farley's eyes reddened even more, and her heart grew increasingly uneasy, unsure of Rhine's attitude.

A moment later, she saw Rhine nod to her.

"Then welcome to the team, senior."

For a fleeting moment, a tear glistened in Gemma Farley's eye.

She couldn't help but recall that day in the corridor, when she was almost overwhelmed by the pressure and even had the thought of jumping off the tower, it was Rhine who spoke up and comforted her.

This time, it was another time when I had no other choice, and it was Rhine again.

A system notification appeared before Rhine's eyes.

Despite the karmic entanglements involving the young girl Gao Lanying, you insisted on providing her with assistance.

You have become entangled in a scheme orchestrated by the saint behind the young girl Gao Lanying. The consequences are unpredictable.

The young girl, Gao Lanying, develops strong feelings of gratitude towards you, and your relationship reaches the level of close friendship.

[You have received the talent reward - Eyes of Lightning]

In Rhine's eyes, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating the entire Wanbao Pavilion for a fleeting moment.

Gemma Farley and the Weasley brothers squinted; all they could see was a white blur, and they could barely see anything.

Fortunately, the feeling only lasted for a moment, making them all feel like it was their own illusion.

Only Gemma Farley looked at Rhine with a hint of surprise.

She seemed to notice that Rhine's lips were slightly upturned, as if he was in a better mood than before.

Is it because I joined it myself?
For no apparent reason, Gemma Farley's heart suddenly began to race, and a blush appeared on her face.

Rhine wasn't paying attention to any of that at the moment; instead, he was quite pleasantly surprised by the talent of "Divine Eyes Like Lightning."

The increased vision and insight from this talent were indeed of little use to him.

But another seemingly insignificant effect surprised him greatly.

That is, you can intimidate your opponent with your gaze, which involves some use of mental power or divine sense.

At Rhine's current level, a single glance is enough to leave an ordinary enemy's mind blank.

If one continues to refine one's skills, especially if one can obtain the final reward from Fred—the Wisdom of Slicing Through the Chaos—one might be able to unleash the Sword of the Heart and kill enemies with a single glance!

At first glance, all that can be seen is desolation, and the sword of the heart leaves no trace...

That feeling—cool!

However, after a moment, Rhine suppressed the urge to study the "Heart Sword".

Even if I manage to research this thing, its power will be far less than even a fraction of what I've gained after mastering the basics of Fuxi's Divine Heaven Echo. I'll wait until I have some free time to research it.

The key now is to learn the basics of Fuxi's Divine Heaven Echo!
Immediately, Rhine turned around and returned to his temporary residence in the Wanbao Pavilion to continue comprehending the Fuxi Divine Heaven Echo.

"I'm leaving the task of collecting sheet music to you, senior."

Rhine's voice rang out, and Gemma Farley also looked serious.

Whatever the reason, she was determined to do this well for Rhine.

Soon, Gemma Farley waved her wand, and the sheet music that had been sent to the Treasure House began to flutter before her eyes.

"This one won't do. It's not original at all; it's copied, and it's only been around for a little over ten years."

"This one won't do either. It looks old, but it's full of clumsy imitations. It's practically a modern person imitating an ancient poem. It's obviously from last week."

"..."

"Ok?"

"This is interesting; it really is an ancient musical score."

Outside the Wanbao Pavilion, Voldemort and Quirrell had already sent the crystal ball containing the Prelude to the Dead inside and were anxiously waiting.

In Quirrell's hands, he held a shrunken harp, the Hades Harp.

"Why is there still no response?"

"Could it be that the so-called symphony of the gods' feast that you used to disguise the prelude to the dead was not appreciated at all?"

In response to Quirrell's questioning, Hades Harp emitted a disdainful sound.

"A country bumpkin who has never attended the banquet of the gods."

"The effects of the feast of the gods are far more powerful than any soothing potion in your time. As long as mortals are alive, they will know what a beautiful melody it is. How could it possibly be filtered out?"

Quirrell asked nervously again.

"Could it be that someone else heard this piece first, then heard the Requiem for the Dead, and died?"

"Then Rhine certainly wouldn't listen anymore."

Hades Harp grew increasingly impatient.

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"The first time you hear it in that crystal ball, you can only hear the music of the gods' feast. Only on the second time will the sound of the prelude to the dead emerge."

"Why are wizards these days so impatient? Rhine is going to die tonight, what's the harm in waiting a little longer?"

Just then, Gemma Farley, who was discerning the music, suddenly picked up a crystal ball.

Upon hearing the music playing, her eyes revealed a look of awe and rapture.

It was a beautiful melody she had never heard before; just listening to it made her feel as if she were soaking in a hot spring, completely relaxed and refreshed.

Once she came to her senses, Gemma Farley immediately realized that this was absolutely an extraordinary piece of music, perhaps even from the age of mythology!
She quickly took the crystal ball and went to find Rhine.

"Rhine, listen to this piece of music!"

Rhine looked at the crystal ball, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He could sense that the crystal ball harbored a strong killing intent.

A prompt also appeared on the system screen.

【careful! 】

This is caused by the power of Rahu, containing the might of the Great Dao of Slaughter; anyone struck by it will die!

But at the same time, Rhine had a strange feeling.

This crystal ball might contain exactly what I need to help Fuxi Shentianxiang get started!
A mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

If it were truly a Rahu creature, even if he possessed the ability to regenerate from a drop of blood, he would flee immediately.

But now...

"The Rahu of the magical world? What can he do to me?!"

With a flick of his finger, Rhine began to play the music from the crystal ball.

At that moment, outside the Wanbao Pavilion, Hades' Harp, which was mocking Qiluo, suddenly stopped and let out a loud sound.

"The crystal ball I left behind has been triggered a second time in a short period of time."

"It's Rhine, it must be Rhine who got the crystal ball, and he's started listening to the music inside."

The Hades Harp emitted a noisy sound.

"Then come on!"

"Listen to the death knell!"
