The panic in the castle was no longer time to care about the professors led by Dumbledore.

Or in the critical juncture of the assassination of Bran's real murderer, the Water Elemental Lord BOSS, the Hogwarts teacher and student who had just captured the real murderous murder of Bran alive, was not even a small matter in the eyes of the professors.

Anyway, in the past semesters, I have experienced many similar messy situations on campus due to various celebrations of all sizes...

"Severus (Snape's name), can you and Professor Frieve to comfort the panicked students? At present, I think everyone needs to calm the atmosphere." Dumbledore held the glasses frame with his wrinkled fingers and gave instructions to Snape.

"As you wish - Professor!" Dragging the long tone that made the listener uncomfortable, Gu Xiaoheng noticed Snape's deep glance at the prisoner who had been bound and imprisoned on the ground - the culprit of the assassination of Bran this time.

After Snape and Flivie disappeared at the end of the public lounge gate together, Dumbledore then withdrew his profound eyes and turned to the boss on the ground.

"Are the elemental creatures at the lord level? It's a pity that you are not a living body with a physical body, otherwise I would really want to see the scene where the real spitting agent works on you." Professor McGonagall's words were full of regret.

As one of the most protective professors in Hogwarts school, McGonagall hated these cunning evildoers who tried to assassinate her proud disciples. Even if the enemy was a water element lord known for her difficulty, she did not intend to let go.

"Safe, Minerva (Professor McGonagall's name). We will have a way to figure out the mastermind behind these killings."

Just as Dumbledore was speaking, the water elemental lord BOSS, who was originally bound by the imprisonment spell on the ground, suddenly attacked.

I saw that its body, which was covered in liquid, suddenly became viscous, and finally frozen out of thin air, turning it into a new life form with ice elements all over it.

Not only that, after using the icing to partially break free from the imprisonment curse, the "rebirth" ice element shot a gray ray towards Dumbledore at an extremely fast attack speed!

"Everything is petrified!" "Armor protects you!!"

Even when talking to McGonagall did not interfere with Dumbledore's speed of moves.

The petrification curse and the iron armor curse are instantly emitted, which is like easily resolving the ice element's attacks while chatting and laughing.

With a "bang", the Ice Elemental Lord, who formed stones, turned over and fell to the ground, his eyes that could not move were filled with horror.

Click-

The gray rays that were blocked by Dumbledore using the armor spell bounced onto a wooden chair in the lounge, but never thought that the chair hit by the ray was completely coated with a layer of stone in a trance!

The rays emitted by the ice (water) element lord actually have the effect of a "petrochemical target"!

"It actually petrified? Did the two ghosts, including Nick who had no head, both of them were harmed yesterday?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but in the end Maeve expressed his guess with a little uncertainty.

"I guess it's not, Maeve. The two ghosts were petrified yesterday were too close. It was basically proved that there were two murderers who committed the crime almost at the same time!" As a professional demon hunter, Geralt gave his own opinions.

Seeing that the two were still in the dark, Gu Xiaoheng couldn't help but look at Dumbledore consciously.

"Professor Dumbledore, I think you must have discovered something, right?"

"Of course, I think you may have forgotten the monsters in the secret room just now. You should know that the ghosts who have long died have some resistance to the inactivity-death effects such as looking directly at the pupils of the snake monster."

Dumbledore's words immediately made Maeve excitedly summarize: "So the murderers who committed the two ghosts petrified last night, one was the basilisk and the other was it! But how did they hide and walk through the castle or campus? Wait, it won't be through the water pipes inside the castle!"

Seeing that everyone, including Gu Xiaoheng, nodded in agreement, Maeve suddenly realized that his final guess might have really hit the truth.

When everyone turned around and prepared to interrogate the murderer who had changed back to the water element form, Gu Xiaoheng discovered a problem.

No matter how they spoke, the Water Element Lord showed that he had only instinct but not too much wisdom.

Generally speaking, as a lord-level elemental life, the BOSS's performance reveals an abnormal conspiracy.

After making a spell of "detection wisdom" against the captured Water Elemental Lord, even Dumbledore made a judgment helplessly.

"It's useless. I think its combat instinct is really well preserved, which makes all of us unaware of its primitive and simplicity in wisdom at the first time. In theory, even if it is summoned, this kind of lord-level living body cannot be reduced to such serious wisdom! Unless-"

Thinking that this water element would freeze and "came to play" the ice element lord, Gu Xiaoheng's mind suddenly had a terrifying possibility flashing through his mind:

It’s not like this water element lord, it’s just an ice element from the beginning!

Looking at the only item in the North that has a summoning lord-level ice element summoning object, isn’t it the treasured necklace “Heart of Winter” that Dumbledore found at the scene when Hogwarts was attacked the day before yesterday, the famous mage academy in the North, the Winter Castle Mage Academy, which he regarded as a treasure?

I drip a turtle, and all the clues are connected here!!

But the problem is, is it terrifying to be concluded with such careful inference?

Just as Gu Xiaoheng connected these clues, Dumbledore also took out the "Heart of Winter" necklace from the wizard's robe with a serious expression on his face.

Looking at the necklace, everyone who seemed to realize something looked at each other silently and fell into a strange silence.

At this moment, the exclusive system prompt sound for task settlement exploded in Gu Xiaoheng's ears.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully collecting all important clues related to the plot and successfully following the important plot NPC to defeat the key boss. The large-scale regional mission "Winter Night" branch mission - "Hogwarts and the Secret Room" has been successfully completed!]

[Because you have completed the "Hogwarts and the Secret Room" system alone, which is evaluated as a key plot task that can be passed by multiple players together, the reward intensity of this task is +25%]

[Because you have successfully protected the key plot NPC "Bran Stark", the golden prompt mission "Running Wolf Blood" has also been completed!]

[You have opened the reputation of the "Hogwarts" camp, and the current favorability level is: Goodwill value: 2200]

[Congratulations, you have been recognized by the Stark family. It is expected that in two minutes, the Duke of Winterfell, who came to Hogwarts in person because he was worried about his son Bran's safety, will express his gratitude to you and give you a valuable thank you: you can be granted the title of real-powered baron with a village-level fiefdom!]

Title?!!

Seeing the last golden word among the many reward prompts in the system, Gu Xiaoheng rubbed his eyes in surprise.

No, he originally wanted to wait for the level 40 to 50 to be enough, and then take on a title mission according to the impression of the adventure mission and get an honorary noble title with no real power.

But now, I have to get a baron in one step! I still have the kind of real-powered baron who can get a fief!

Happiness suddenly came, making Gu Xiaoheng dizzy happily.

Of course, considering the occasion, he still looked extremely serious at the moment, but in fact he had already smiled in his heart.

Bang--

As the gate of the Gryffindor common room was pushed open, a strong man in shiny iron armor walked in.

The Wolf King badge on him, which symbolizes the Duke of Winterfell and the North, can prove the identity of this noble man - Bran's father, Ed Stark, the contemporary patriarch of the Stark family!!

Seeing his father coming to Hogwarts in person, Bran, who was originally the background board, couldn't help but greet him with joy.

"Father, why are you here?!"

Bran calls this man his father, so isn't this man the Duke of Winterfell?

Many young wizards watching in the corridor of the Gryffindor common room were surprised to grow their mouths into an "O" shape.

Oh my God! Duke Stark is here in person to Hogwarts!!
Chapter completed!
