Harry Potter and the Old Ones

A week later, when Aita Candi stepped into the office on the Wuweier campus again, Aita froze for a moment.

Aitakandi silently exited the office, glanced at the house number——

A-212

It's Professor Big Dog, Gilderoy Lockhart's office is right.

But the office at this time is very different from when she came a week ago.

The original set of office desks and chairs and a set of dilapidated sofas and coffee tables in the outer room all disappeared, and instead five neat new wooden desks were placed——

Alta Candi could almost smell the fresh leaves and the smell of the forest from those shiny desks.

The five desks are arranged in a relaxed arrangement of two on the left and three on the right, leaving an aisle in the middle of the entire office, and a business card stands on the last desk on the right——

"Aitakandi."

Apparently it's the location of Aitakandi.

There is also a computer, a fax machine and a printer on it.

Next to Itarcandy's desk was the door into the inner room, Gilderoy Lockhart's office.

Behind the last desk on the left stands a tall floor-to-ceiling bookshelf of the same material.

The side of the bookshelf facing the door leading to the inner room, there is a small tea stove and refrigerator on the wall between the bookshelf and the door.

Aitakandi walked into A-212 again, stepping on the soft carpet——

Only then did Aitakandi realize that there was a carpet on the ground, and the crimson background was covered with golden flower-like patterns.

Luxurious, regal...and flamboyant - a rug from Gilderoy Lockhart.

And the baroque chandelier overhead.

And desks, office chairs, and bookshelves too—

Tierra only needs to insert a desk in the back garden of Gilderoy Lockhart's house, and then use the "parasite" to tamper with and restore the authority of life——

The wooden table and chairs soon came back to life, growing wildly in Gilderoy Lockhart's back garden.

One becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight—

Then Tierra burned three of them with Fiendfire, and the remaining five moved here through the Gate of Light.

The bookshelf also came from Gilderoy Lockhart's house, and it was empty, except for a thin handwritten book——

The Necronomicon

From the version Tierra hand-copied with her wand, stripped of all spells, all rituals, all alchemy—

Only the descriptions and rumors of the innocuous Outer Gods, Old Gods, Ancient Gods, Old Ones, Ancient Races and Dreamlands were kept.

"Professor Lockhart?" Itakandi walked around the bookshelves and knocked on the door to the inner room.

"Ha, Miss Candy, right?" Gilderoy Lockhart's hearty voice came from inside the room, "Please come in."

Aitakandi pushed open the door—

But then I wanted to leave again.

Because Gilderoy Lockhart's office is so flamboyant——

The carpet is the same dark red with golden flowers as the outside.

In the center of the room is a large desk, and to the left of the desk is a large window.

On the right is a row of bookshelves.

And on the wall behind the desk—

There hung a huge, gold-framed bust of Gilderoy Lockhart's self-portrait—

Gilderoy Lockhart in the self-portrait is wearing a dress that only medieval nobles would wear, holding something like a wooden stick in his hand, with the greasy smile that Aitakandi has ever seen in his life——

This is the only self-portrait of Gilderoy Lockhart preserved by Tierra.

This is a big dog with a brain problem——

Tierra judged instantly when she saw Aitakandi.

"Mr. Lockhart." But Atacandi smiled.

"Miss Candy, you came just in time—" Tierra said, "You must have seen the desk outside, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Lockhart." Itakandi said politely.

"Then you should realize what we are going to do, right?" Tierra asked.

"You... want to recruit people?" Aitakandi asked cautiously.

"Yes, Miss Candy!" Tierra said excitedly, "Our great journey to explore the strange and unknown ancient world is about to begin, and our discoveries will reveal a heavenly civilization."

With all due respect, your professorship was bought—

Tierra saw Aitakandi thinking like this, but he didn't care.

Since he dared to buy it, he was ready to be scolded.

Anyway, he is playing a stupid big dog, as long as he pays people to work and then follows behind to reap the final results.

"So I have a task for you." Tierra took out the recruitment notice he had written a long time ago, walked around from behind the desk and handed it to Aita Candi, "You can help me change this recruitment notice." , and post it."

Aitakandi picked it up and read it page by page——

"With all due respect, Mr. Lockhart." After reading it, Aitakandi clapped a few pieces of paper in his hand and asked, "What exactly is our research project?"

"This is it, Miss Candy." Tierra took out a roll of parchment from the drawer with fanatical eyes, and spread it on the large desk——

It was a stick figure drawn with unknown ink.

But even as it was crude and abstract, Itarcandi could still see that it was a magnificent city.

Nearby are straight and weird high-rise buildings one after another, and in the distance are the sunset and strange ships moored in the port.

Shuttle among the tall buildings are strange creatures far beyond human imagination.

Creatures that seem to exist only in hell or in man's deepest dreams.

The painter stands on a high place and draws a city that is so magnificent that it should only exist in imagination——

This is the only note in all of Merlin's notes that is completely composed of pictures——

Kadath of Dreamland!

"Kadas of Dreamland!" Tierra said excitedly, "I have reason to believe that this fantastic city is connected to the real world in Central Asia."

Yes, Tierra is going to the Dreamland.

madman!

Tierra heard Aitakandi curse in her heart.

But finally Itakandi moved his lips slightly, and said—

"Okay, Mr. Lockhart, I'll go and publish it."
