Chapter 434 Something That Cannot Be Delayed

Chapter 434 Something That Cannot Be Delayed

?Ethan felt something poking the side of his face, forcing him to open his eyes slowly.

His entire body felt heavy, which was a sensation that he had already experienced in the past.

“You must really like sleeping on the floor of the common room, Ethan,” George said in a teasing tone. “It makes me want to try it as well.”

It took Ethan a few seconds to process what his senior was talking about. However, after seeing his Manor Mates looking at him with amused expressions on their faces, he finally understood what happened to him.

“George, can you please pick me up and place me on the sofa,” Ethan said. “Although there’s carpet here, the floor is still hard.”

The Third Year chuckled after hearing Ethan’s request and tried to pick the young man up, but to his surprise, Ethan’s body was as heavy as lead.

“Noah, a bit of help,” George stated. “Ethan is so heavy. I can’t lift him alone.”

Noah nodded. He thought that George was just messing around, but he still agreed to help. Seeing his friend lying on the hard floor felt really uncomfortable.

But to his surprise, he was unable to lift Ethan up because his body was truly heavy.

“I told you so.” George smirked.

“On the count of three,” Noah said.

“One, two... three!”

The two teenagers managed to lift Ethan a bit, but they were unable to lift him all the way. Just as they were about to lose their strength, Henry grabbed hold of the young man’s body and lifted him up easily.

“Yeah, you’re much heavier now, Ethan.” Henry had an amused look on his face as he laid the young man on the couch. “What have you been eating as of late?”

“Minotaurs,” Ethan replied with sarcasm. “Dragons, too.”

“Nice,” Henry smirked. “Sounds delicious. Call me next time, okay?”

“Sure.”

“Great!”

After making sure that Ethan was fine, Henry left the Dorm to have breakfast in the Dining Hall of the academy.

Since this wasn’t the first time this had happened, his Manor Mates thought that he would be fine this time as well.

Also, Luna and Lilian were with him, so they were confident that the young man was in good hands.

Once they were sure that everyone in the Manor had left, Luna held Ethan’s hand and looked at him with worry.

“Is this why you told us not to sleep beside you last night?” Luna asked. “What happened?”

“Can I also take a look?” Lilian asked out of curiosity.

“Okay,” Ethan replied.

Luna then handed the egg to Lilian, allowing the young lady to give it a better look.

“It really does look like a chicken egg, doesn’t it?” Lilian muttered as she looked at the egg in the palms of her hands. “Maybe a golden chick will hatch from it?”

“Are there any golden birds in the Wizarding World?” Ethan asked out of curiosity.

Luna shook her head. “I haven’t heard about any golden birds before.”

“Me neither,” Lilian commented. “Phoenixes are more crimson in color and not gold. Also, I have already seen a Phoenix Egg. I can confirm that this doesn’t look like one.”

While the three were having a casual talk, the Door of the Manor opened, and three people, whom they didn’t expect to come visit them at this time of the day, appeared.

Professor Rinehart, Professor Barret, and Edmond all looked at the Golden Egg in Lilian’s hand with solemn expressions on their faces.

“That Chesmire Cat was right,” Edmond said. “A troublesome Era is upon us.”

“I think it will be best if you go and see the King as soon as possible,” Professor Barret stated. “We will also need to make countermeasures, right, Rinehart?”

“Yes,” Professor Rinehart stated. “We should do it now, while we still have time.”

After saying those words, the three men left as soon as they came, leaving the three teenagers behind.

The moment Luna had taken the Golden Egg from Ethan’s hand, a subtle magical ripple spread throughout the academy.

Only Wizards and Witches who had reached a certain level would be able to sense this fluctuation, and it alarmed them.

Koko, the Unicorn, and Broodmother, also sensed the fluctuations from where they were deep within the Great Eagle Forest.

This made the three Magical Creatures immediately arrange an emergency meeting. For a brief moment, they felt the power of a Fomorian, which was located inside Brynhildr Academy.

The place they thought to be the safest place in all of Eastshire.

“Will that ripple affect the Artifact that is currently in Chloe’s possession?” Koko asked.

Broodmother chirped two times before shaking her head.

“It won’t influence the artifact in any way,” the Unicorn stated. “But it is a variable that might throw our plans down the drain. I’ll go and talk to Professor Njal. We need to hold a meeting with the Headmaster of the academy. This is something that we cannot delay.”

Koko and Broodmother nodded their heads in agreement.

This was indeed something that mustn’t be delayed, or else, it might cause the destruction of Brynhildr Academy from the inside out.
