"Are you sure you want to attack me?"
The moment the voice sounded, Harry hesitated, and the Sword of Gryffindor that had fallen on the demon Gluttony's neck finally stopped.
He was stunned, and then quickly turned his head to look at Hermione next to him, and then he saw a flash of surprise in Hermione's eyes as well.
"It's Haierbo!"
Hermione paused and couldn't help but whisper. Harry nodded immediately after hearing the words - he also recognized that this familiar voice undoubtedly belonged to the ancient dark wizard, the despicable Herbo! So far, they have dealt with each other several times, how could they still not be able to tell the difference
However, although Harry immediately stopped what he was doing, he did not choose to put away his sword and retreat. Even judging from their several experiences facing Haierbo, it would definitely not be wrong to stay away from each other for the time being, but in terms of the situation at hand, Harry's intuition told him that he should not retreat here.
The sound came from the body of the demon Gluttony under the sword. Now that the sword of Gryffindor was on the opponent's neck, why did he retreat
After secretly compiling himself, Harry nodded slightly at Hermione, then stared at Gluttony on the ground and loudly said:
"What do you mean by 'definitely going to attack you'? At this point, can't you ask some meaningful questions?"
However, when Harry finished speaking, he saw that Haierbo seemed to have not heard what he was saying at all, and repeated again in that dull voice:
"I ask again, are you sure you want to do something to me?"
"I-"
When Harry heard this, he immediately wanted to say something more, but the next moment, Hermione raised his arm to stop him, stopping him from continuing to speak.
"Maybe... he's not talking to us."
"Um?"
Harry was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to realize something. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the figure leaning on the back of the throne not far away.
Then, there was another moment of silence. It wasn't until Helbo's words echoed in the hall for the third time that Hermione, Harry, and Lu and others under the stairs saw that the Lord of Living Corpses finally straightened up slightly and lowered his eyes to look down. The demon Gluttony on the floor said slowly:
"It's just a body... When you left it under my nose before leaving, you should have planned to treat it as a consumable. Because I think you are You know, I've never looked down upon you."
After the Lord of Living Corpses said these words, there was another moment of pause.
"Huh," Haierbo's voice came up again, and he snorted coldly, "'It's just a body'... Yes! There is probably no one more suitable to say this than you in the world. Man, it’s really convincing.”
This time, there was so much sarcasm in Helbo's words that even Harry could hear it.
However, the Lord of the Living Corpses on the throne seemed to no longer want to talk to him any more. He saw the former waving his hand towards Harry and giving a slight signal:
"Behead him! This body is occupied by him, but he is still a demon - Mr. Potter, leave it to you. In addition, you should all know who he is, right? I don't think you can ignore what he says. Okay, what do you think?"
Here, Harry stared blankly at the figure on the throne, listening to the other person's advice, but his heart was very confused. Unable to figure things out for a moment, he thought for a moment, and finally turned his head and looked at Hermione next to him again.
When Hermione saw Harry looking at her again, she naturally knew exactly why Harry hesitated. Even though Harry's mind may not be as good as hers, the other party's intuition has always been good - he obviously heard something very concerning in the brief conversation between the Lord of the Living Corpses and Halbo just now.
However, if she didn't take action now, what would she and Harry do standing here? Are you stunned next
And just as Harry and Hermione hesitated for a moment, Helbo's voice once again came from the demon Gluttony's collapsed body:
"Actually, you're right. I had no intention of getting this body back. It's just a body. Even if it's a devil's body, it's not a big deal to me... But I said, what about you? Humph, do you need me to teach you the correct method of dividing souls? With your talent in magic, you will definitely learn it in no time."
Haierbo's words echoed faintly in the hall, containing a seductive flavor that made all the wizards in the hall feel a little frightened.
This is not a metaphor, but a real magical power. It is probably an ability that only powerful wizards like Haierbo who have delved deeply into the magic of language can possess.
To be honest, some people really couldn't help but want to immediately agree with the suggestion just made by the Lord of the Living Corpses. If you can't help but listen to the words of a guy like Despicable Haierbo, it's best not to listen, lest you fall into it accidentally and never get out.
Of course, a person like Harry, who had tempered his mental will by mastering the Sword of Gryffindor, would not be easily affected by a few words from the other party.
Naturally, Hermione wouldn't either, because she understood the importance of staying awake at all times. As early as the beginning, the hand in her sleeve had already grasped a rune card. The constant power of the rune symbol could ensure that her will would be stronger and more consistent to a certain extent.
It's a pity that neither the sword of Gryffindor nor the mysterious ancient magic text can help people think about the problem. They still need to sort out the situation at hand.
For example, what did Halbo mean by what he said to the Lord of the Living Corpses? Or, in other words, what did Halbo want to express to the Lord of the Living Corpses and other people here at this juncture
Yes, Hermione had actually realized some of the deeper meanings, but...
Just as Hermione stood there secretly alert and brooding, and Harry waited for the smarter Hermione to give him a direction of action, Halbo spoke again, leaving them no time to think about anything else.
"Don't you want to learn?" Haierbo's voice said, "Then forget it... The matter is finished, I will give this body to you, you can chop it off if you want! I just hope that you don't want to Breaking the oath you made to Ms. Kern... The second phase of the plan is about to begin! So goodbye... Maca McLean."
After the words were settled, Haierbo's will seemed to have completely left, and the hall became dead silence again. Only the last name is left, which still echoes in everyone's hearts and cannot be eradicated.
