Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 2264 the source of evil
The ice flame torch on the pillar of the temple released a bright brilliance, illuminating the entire hall in a minute...except for the shadow in the right corner.
The ink-like black concealed the corner of the wall, making it impossible to see what was hidden inside.Only in this way, it has become a lot more noticeable.
Of course, in fact, everyone quickly guessed what was hiding in that shadow. After all, Delphi had already told everyone about her experience the last time she came.
"There is... Helbo."
Including Delphi, everyone who walked in from the entrance of the hall subconsciously glanced over there.Although the only person who can really see through the shadow is Luna who has the help of Silly Bo, because only Silly Bo has mastered the rules of the shadow, but almost everyone murmured such a secret in their hearts.
In this scene, the "Lord of the Living Dead" sitting high on the throne could see it very clearly, but he obviously didn't care.
"In short, welcome everyone to the Ice City as guests! Since the last time I met you have prepared seats for me, I will naturally not be rude, please sit down—"
He said so, and suddenly raised his hand with a wave.In the next moment, ice crystals on both sides of the hallway in the middle of the hall immediately condensed. Accompanied by a crisp "click", two rows of ice seats on the opposite side of the aisle rose to the ground. The beautiful Jinghui reflected under the light of flame.
It's just that the back chairs made of ice crystals are pretty and beautiful, but they are all chilly, and I'm afraid they won't be very comfortable to sit on.
"Oh, sorry!"
The lord of the living corpses probably also noticed this, and then snapped his fingers again, and in an instant, sheets of gorgeous blankets and cushions appeared on the seats.
"Please!" he spread his hand. "If you have any other needs, please feel free to speak up-although this is somewhat of a generosity, there seems to be a lot of good things in this palace. For example, The huge wine cellar at the back stores a lot of fine wines. Neither I nor the living corpses have a taste. It seems a pity to keep them there. If you want to taste it...
"No need, Mr. Greed, we... we are obviously not here to steal the Muggle royal inheritance."
Delphi is talking.
I don't know what kind of mood she was in when she said this sentence, but just by listening to her unwavering tone, she knew that she was trying her best to suppress the fluctuation of her mood.
"Oh, of course." Above the throne, the tall and dark figure nodded disapprovingly, "Since you don’t like politeness... that’s okay, let’s just start with today’s topic! First of all, no matter what you think. There are so many other ideas, and there is only one thing that must be put first, and that is-'eliminate the devil'!"
Regarding the term "devil", everyone present is naturally no longer unfamiliar, and even everyone has already fought many of them one after another.
However, what the "lord of the living corpses" said today still made everyone quickly put aside all the distracting thoughts in their hearts and listened carefully.
"...As far as I know, many demons have already appeared so far, and I and the living corpses under me have both met. There are large-scale, physical-focused'anger'; there are excellent spiritual powers, Good at the'arrogance' of soul control; there are'gluttony' that is treacherous, can move in space, and like to devour the soul of creatures; and that is not an entity, but the actual destructive power is second only to anger, and the spiritual strength is even higher than arrogance.' Lust'."
When referring to "gluttony", he deliberately or unintentionally glanced into the conspicuous shadow in the corner of the hall, only because everyone was listening and thinking about demons, only a few talents such as Delphi and Luna He noticed his movements.
He probably noticed that everyone under the steps was thinking, he paused for a while, and then continued:
"Because of some known or unknown reasons,'laziness' and'jealousy' seem to have not actually arrived-at least neither I nor the massive army of corpses under me have found any traces. So, our goal now is to have The four demons that have appeared...gather our strength. As long as we don't let each other get together, it may not be so difficult to defeat them. We just need..."
Perhaps this matter had been considered many times, and he spoke these words very smoothly.But when the words were on the way, Delphi and Hermione suddenly looked at each other, and then immediately after the former, they suddenly spoke again, interrupting his words.
"Wait!" Delphi looked up at him in the deepest part of the hall. "You just said...'Lust'? This demon, we don't seem to have met this demon. Can you elaborate on it?"
"Of course it's okay," the lord of the living corpses nodded again, "in addition, it stands to reason that you human wizards should have encountered it earlier...have your teachers not mentioned it to you?"
Hearing what the other party said, Hermione finally couldn't help but speak up.
"You mean—the giant sea monster that attacked the Transformation? That's also a demon?" She frowned, a little surprised, "Why? Not all demons..."
"All humanoids?" The Lord of the Living Corpses shook his head and said calmly, "I don't know that there are such restrictions. Although'sin' does stem more from your human spirit, it also stems from other creatures. The devil is the manifestation of sin. It is not a strange thing that an inhuman image appears when the seven deadly sins are called.
Having said this, he suddenly waved his hand, and then said with a smile:
"It's better to say that the demons that have appeared one after another all exist in the appearance of a humanoid... Perhaps this matter is worthy of your reflection."
Until he said this, Hermione and others recovered from the surprise that "sea monsters are also demons", and then fell into surprise again.
"You mean, the appearance of demons is related to humans?"
Hermione also raised her head suddenly, and looked straight at the lord of the dead leaning on the armrest on the throne. The consternation and deep thought in her eyes had gradually turned into hesitation.
According to the other party, demons are essentially human sins, but...is it possible?No, even if this is the case, as a human being, I naturally don't want to admit it.
What's more, she always finds this statement very problematic.
"The manifestation of evil into the world is the result of the demon summoning technique, and it is a'good thing' done by the guy named Haierbo." The black figure said indifferently, "But, let's talk about them and humans. It's totally unrelated, it's naturally impossible."
At this point, his back suddenly left the handrail, leaning forward and looking at the people under the steps:
"...Do you think there is something like'guilt' in this world?"
