Chapter 55 The Story of the Death School

The alley is still the same as it was. In the dirty and narrow alley, pedestrians come and go in a hurry with their heads and tails hidden, and all the doors seem to have bad eyes hidden.

Brian recited the magical mantra for himself and came to the door of Bojin-Boke's store with ease.

He first carefully checked the surrounding situation and found no suspicion, so he walked into the store.

The shop is still the same, and even the goods placed seem to have not changed much. The windows are covered with dust. Looking through the windows, the streets outside look foggy.

Brian shook the bell on the counter, and a moment later, a figure came out from the backstage.

Bojin hunched over and said in his slick tone: "Welcome."

After seeing Brian's face, he coughed gently and said, "You are here, I thought you will be here last night..."

"Mr. Bojin, good morning. I'm here with some confusion that I hope you can answer." Brian said gently and politely.

"Ah, come back, I will tell you everything." Bojin nodded and walked into the dark back room first.

Brian narrowed his eyes, played with his wand in his hand, and followed carefully.

Without traps or ambush, Bojin invited Brian into his alchemy studio for the first time. It was a dim little room with several workbenches, a few oil lamps on it, dark walls and messy materials piled up in the corners.

The two sat face to face at a small desk, and Brian looked at him quietly.

"I can tell you a story..." Bojin said slickly.

"If it's the story of the God of Death, I already know it." Brian said, "The Death School?"

Bojin seemed a little surprised, then nodded in understanding: "You know from Elliot's things... Indeed, we call ourselves the Death School."

"I only know the story before the demise of the Death School." Brian did not disclose the portrait of Slytherin.

"Okay, I can tell you something..." Bojin coughed lightly and said slowly.

"In the early sixth century AD, the god of death left, and no one knew where he went. Of course, the god of death thought that he could not die. They have been waiting for the god of death to return, but after more than two hundred years, there was no news about the god of death..."

"So, ambitions are germinating and chaos is brewing, and people's greed for the runes of death and the Deathly Hallows can no longer be suppressed."

"At that time, the descendants of the God of Death, who were facing internal and external troubles, decided to let the school completely hide in the dark, but the struggle often broke out and internally... First, the race enslaved by the God of Death began to resist, and various factions fought openly and secretly, and even pushed the descendants of the God of Death to be killed..."

"The rune of the Death God has become incomplete in the struggle and division. Before being found, the descendants of the Death God buried the Death God in a place that no one knew, quietly ending their lives... As the gate of Death, which has always been located underground in the Death God School, disappeared again, this once glorious school declared its curtain call."

"In the 12th century, when a young man was reading ancient books in his home, he accidentally discovered the remaining records and collections of the Death School, as well as some of the Death Runes... He was deeply fascinated and fanatically pursued everything from the Death School and even the Death God..."

"He learned that he was the descendant of the only remaining descendants of the God of Death, and he changed his surname to Tanat and embarked on the path of rebuilding the Death School."

"He has been struggling for this all his life, relying on the attraction of the Death Rune, he gathered some researchers to pursue everything about Death... At that time, the Death School could only be regarded as a fan discussion group and a small circle of researchers." Bojin recalled, "This is the origin of the Death School now."

"Later, Tanat's son inherited the career of Old Tanat, gradually developed this school into an organized school, and recruited apprentices and taught alchemy knowledge. The school grew and grew in his hands."

"At that time, their greatest wish was to retrieve the Deathly Hallows, but unfortunately there was no news. It was not until later that the fairy tale of Shiwenbidou spread that they suddenly realized that the Deathly Hallows had actually appeared long ago."

"It's a pity that at that time, the three Peverier brothers had already died. The old wand was circulating among the powerful wizards, bringing countless misfortunes; the resurrection stone disappeared after its owner died, and they only found an old house that collapsed; the invisible cloak disappeared..."

"Wait, the Invisible Clothes seem to have been passed down all the time... It should be easy to find them by searching Peverier's descendants." Brian asked a question.

"Ah, this involves the magic of the Deathly Hallows. If the old wand represents power and the resurrection stone carries longing, then the invisible cloak represents protection..." Bojin murmured, "Guardian, its magic is not invisible, but makes those who pursue it never find it..."

"It cannot be found by tracing history. Those who try to trace the root of it will always unconsciously ignore it and even own it. Only those who see and study it with their own eyes will discover its specialness." Bojin sighed, "It is an invisible protection."

Brian nodded and signaled him to continue.

"The Death School only found traces of the old wand, but Tanat was not willing to cause trouble at that time. The Death School was still developing secretly... Although it was no longer glorious, it was also united enough to pursue the truth and inherit it in the form of a family group."

"Time passed slowly, Old Tanat died, and his son Elliott also joined the Death School. This was the turning point in everything." Bojin said quietly.

"Eliot is an alchemy genius. He learned all the skills of Old Tanat when he was a teenager, except for the runes of the Death God. He is young and promising, dares to think and do, and is also full of personal charm. He was once considered the hope of the Death God School..."

Brian noticed what he was talking about was "once".

"Eliot is even more fanatical about everything about Death. People did not think it was a bad thing at that time. In his twenties, he alone found the last legacy of the Old Death School, found a part of the Death runes, and confirmed that the door underground of the Ministry of Magic was the gate of Death..."

"The Death School seems to be about to reappear the glory of ancient times..." Bojin blinked his turbid eyes, "He was recognized by everyone as the new leader of the Death School..."

"Under his advocacy, everyone left their family name in the Book of Death, representing the rebirth of the school."

"However, at that time, Elliot finally tore off his disguise and revealed his ambitions." Bojin said, "He pursued eternal life, so he fanatically pursued the secret of death, even if he was inhumane. He cultivated his confidants and trained the children who joined the school to become loyal followers to him, called the disciples of death, but in fact he was just a fanatic who had lost his self..."

"Of course, this is nothing... As long as he can bring development to the school and make the school participants stronger, it is worth it..."

"It was indeed good at the beginning. The research on the Gate of Death has made progress. Elliot created a creature that can bring death. It has a certain connection with the Gate of Death. Elliot named it Thurbruce, hoping that it can be like the mythical watchdog of the underworld..."

"It does have a great reputation. Gradually, it was considered a sign of death by the wizarding world, and people called it an ominous..." Bojin said, "Later it was used to eliminate dissidents and solve the enemy..."

"It's nothing to blame, on the contrary, it's quite wise. Elliot's support has risen like never before, and many families think it can bring them great benefits, and more families and individuals have sworn to join the school."

"So, the Death School changed from a loose school of alchemy communication and mutual assistance and academic research to a leading ambition organization."

"It's a pity that Elliot eventually became an obstacle." Bojin sighed, "He trained the disciples of death as confidants, trying to make everyone obey his words..."

"He dared not study the rune of death, because it would reduce life, but he also forbids the outer families to study it, fearing that they would become stronger and shake his foundation... He held ominous control and threatened those who were unwilling to obey him; he controlled the door of death, and all those who wanted to study it must obtain his consent..."

"Is this your consideration? Want to kill him through me?" Brian said lightly.

"Yes, the current school of death has long been divided into three factions, the leader group dominated by Elliot, including his confidants; the group of peripheral families who maintained the initial academic sharing and mutual assistance, but were stymied by Elliot; and some attempts to cling to Elliot's fences."

"Then, the opportunity we have been waiting for is coming, and Elliot is determined to kill you..."

"As long as you can escape the ominous pursuit, you are qualified to kill him. Elliot has continued his life through various means over the years, but in fact he has been strong outside and at the same time..." Bojin said, "We were restricted by the oath before, so we can only remind you in a vain..."

Brian frowned and said, "So, why do you think I can kill Elliott successfully? Why did Elliott kill me?"

"Ah, this has something to do with death..." Bojin said meaningfully.
