News Brought by the Dark Knight

"Yes, we just joined forces to destroy an avatar and a projection of Death." Headmaster Dippet nodded slightly and said to the knight, "It was Death's presence that awakened you, wasn't it?"

The Ghost Knight nodded, his helmet creaking with age and rust as he moved his neck.

"Knight, you have already done more than enough," Dumbledore admiration. "If your perseverance, which has lasted for over a thousand years, does not qualify as chivalry, then who does?"

Xiwen nodded, somewhat moved, and echoed, "Yes, Your Excellency. Tell us your name; your deeds deserve to be remembered for generations!"

"My name? After all these years, I've long forgotten it." The knight slowly shook his head and said softly. "Just call me the Dark Knight. I only hope I still deserve this title..."

"You certainly have the qualifications, Lord Dark Knight," Headmaster Dippet said solemnly. "If you could truly bring us specific information about the last time Death invaded our world, that information might save tens of thousands of lives and reduce tens of millions of casualties!"

"I hope so," the Dark Knight said in his shrill voice, then began to explain things about Death to the three of them, including Xiwen.

"Based on the contract mark that Death left in my body, it can be determined that he came from another universe and discovered our world by chance through a spatial rift. His reason for invading this place is also very simple: he just wanted to seize more negative emotions to increase his own power."

"It's funny how humans are. There's always so much suffering and so much injustice. As a result, negative emotions are endless, and this place naturally becomes a garden from which Death can easily obtain countless powers, only needing to be harvested periodically," the Dark Knight explained.

"Through the influence of negative emotions, Death can control those whose personalities have been lost to negative emotions, thus turning them into his henchmen. For example, I was easily affected when I was overwhelmed with grief."

"Besides, beings like ghosts, who mostly rely on negative emotions to generate obsessions, are also easily controlled by Death through emotions. Back then, Death summoned a Ghost Army, and each ghost could borrow Death's power through the mark left by Death, so the Ghost Army was not weak."

"At the same time, because the ghosts possess a constant stream of negative emotions, the power of Death is continuously absorbed and increased through this, eventually reaching a strange balance between the two. The strength of ghosts manipulated by Death largely depends on the depth of their inner obsessions."

Xiwen and the other two exchanged glances, all seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

"So, Baron was controlled because of the negative emotions of guilt he harbored deep in his heart," Xiwen said thoughtfully after a moment of silence.

The Dark Knight nodded slightly and continued, "Not only that, but Death is also adept at absorbing life energy and using Necromancy on plants and animals whose life force has been completely drained, turning them into the minions of other Death."

"Besides that, Death also has a barrier that can suppress the flow of magic. Within that barrier, wizards are like Muggle, unable to use any magic."

Upon hearing the Dark Knight mention this troublesome barrier, Xiwen couldn't help but ask:

Is there a solution to this problem?

"I'm not entirely sure. But within the barrier, it's true that we can only attack using the power of the Death's Mark," the Dark Knight said, shaking his head. "However, I seem to remember that the eldest of the three wizarding brothers, Antioch Peverell, once cast a spell within the Dark Barrier, which is likely related to the powerful wand he forged."

"That's roughly it. The power within the powerful wand was pushed to its limit, balancing the ability of the Dark Barrier to suppress the flow of magic, successfully allowing Antioch Peverell to cast a spell even within the barrier."

Dumbledore's eyes narrowed, and he murmured softly, "... The Elder Wand?"

"Dumbledore, do you know the exact location of the Elder Wand?" Xiwen asked quickly, seeing Dumbledore's reaction.

To everyone's surprise, Dumbledore shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "I don't know, but I have a feeling that the Elder Wand might be in the hands of someone we wouldn't expect!"

"So what is the purpose of the other two Deathly Hallows?" Headmaster Dippet asked, seizing the key point.

"Cadmus Peverell, the second of the three brothers, invented a Resurrection Stone," the Dark Knight said. "It can collect all the deepest memories in people's hearts and piece them together into a phantom of the deceased. This phantom is not a true resurrection; instead, it makes the living suffer even more."

"So... what is the significance of the Resurrection Stone?" Xiwen frowned and asked softly.

"The Resurrection Stone certainly has a significant role to play," the Dark Knight continued solemnly. "It can not only unearth people's deepest memories, but it can even awaken memories completely hidden within the obsessions of ghosts, thereby dismantling the Ghost Army organized by Death!"

After a period of rest, Headmaster Dippet's tired expression had lessened, and he was now lazily leaning back in his chair, rocking back and forth.

"Now that we've covered the Elder Wand and the Resurrection Stone, what's the use of the Invisibility Cloak?" he asked softly. "It can't be like in fairy tales, where Ignotus Peverell leaves to escape Death's pursuit, can it?"

"Not quite. As the youngest of the three brothers, widely recognized as the most intelligent, Ignotus Peverell invented the Invisibility Cloak not simply for the purpose of invisibility," the Dark Knight said seriously. "To be precise, the reason this Invisibility Cloak possesses advantages such as lightness, strong defense, and long-term use is because its ability is not to conceal the body, but to conceal space!"

"Space?" Xiwen paused, then gaped in shock. "Could it be that Peverell and the other two used Invisibility Cloak to imprison Death in another dimension?"

"You're right. After the three brothers' final battle with Death, Ignotus Peverell used his invisibility Invisibility Cloak to send Death to the alternate dimension where he was supposed to be. Then, the three of them sealed Death away for over a thousand years!"

"That's quite incredible." Xiwen, momentarily thinking of the Invisibility Cloak lying in his Pocket Watch Space, couldn't help but ask the next, rather difficult question. "Knight, do you know how to use the Invisibility Cloak to seal away Death?"

"Yes, I was fortunate enough to witness that scene, and even after more than a thousand years, I have never forgotten how to use it!" the Dark Knight said firmly. "Now I only hope that what I have memorized over a thousand years can be of some help to you!"

"Then please tell us how to use it, Your Excellency!" Headmaster Dippet, Dumbledore, and Xiwen shouted in unison.
