Chapter 1285 Avalon Prison (3)

After the ship docked, the hazy light that obscured the real Island of Avalon began to dissipate.

It was as if someone was using a dry towel to clean the misty glass, and the mysterious Avalon Prison gradually appeared in front of the little wizards.

As his vision became clear, Harry's tightly pursed lips slowly opened like the other little wizards, and Beatrice's eyes were filled with deep confusion.

Like a flat plain, the island is clearly visible to the students of Hogwarts.

On the island, the flat land was divided into square farmlands, planted with rice, which should not appear in this season.

Nearby, green ears of rice swayed slightly in the breeze that blew across the island. Flocks of birds flew low over the rice fields. After quickly pecking at the food, they were startled away by the scarecrow standing in the rice field, which was swaying back and forth and making a rustling sound.

The land in the distance was smooth black and seemed to have not been cultivated yet.

Harry sniffed, and the fresh scent in the air made him feel refreshed!
This... is Avalon Prison? !
If it weren't for the low, cold, gray, two-story building that occupied a large area in the center of the island, Harry would have almost thought that Professor Brain was taking them out for an outing.

The scenery here is not inferior to that of St. Catchpole Village where Ron's family lives!
But Professor Brian did not respond to the confused looks directed at him. Instead, he jumped off the boat first, turned around and said "get off the boat and form a team", then walked towards the shore and waited for the few people there.

Those people were obviously not wizards, and were dressed quite like the villagers he often saw in Hogsmeade - Harry thought.

But he knew those people couldn't be ordinary villagers.

There was an aura about those plain-looking, plain-dressed people that Harry was familiar with, but for a moment, he couldn't figure out what it was.

"They are like Professor Larsen—"

Luna's casual words suddenly made Harry wake up.

"They... Oh, they are Professor Lahansen and Luoya's people!"

Harry muttered in surprise, and then he was kicked hard on the heel by Hermione!
One by one, the young wizards redeployed their teams on the open land on the shore, and then stared at Professor Brian who was communicating with the 'natives'.

"The theme of this study tour is to visit the day of the prisoners in Avalon Prison--"

After a while, Professor Brain came back and said to them with a smile,

"Remember what I said, keep order, and do not talk to the prisoners without permission, understand?"

The students responded sparsely.

Hermione found Nott from Slytherin in the chaotic crowd, and the anticipation in his eyes was almost overflowing.

There was no smooth road between the shore and the gray building, so they had to move forward with difficulty through the weed-covered ridges between the farmlands.

And every time they passed a field, the scarecrow in the field, with black holes for eyes and a crack across its entire face representing a mouth, would slowly turn its body as the team moved forward and make a strange and eerie cry like a jackdaw flying unexpectedly over their heads in the foggy night.

Even in this field bathed in bright sunshine, the noise made by these scarecrows made Harry break out in a cold sweat!
"These scarecrows are definitely not simple--"

Neville whispered exactly what Harry was thinking.
"Don't forget, Professor Lahanson can control plants!"

In addition to the scarecrow, there is also something wrong with the blue sky here.

Although Harry couldn't tell what was wrong, every time he looked up at the sky for more than two or three seconds, he would feel a tingling sensation at the back of his head for no reason.

Apparently, the same powerful protective magic that enveloped the lake surrounding the island also existed here.

Every visiting little wizard wanted to see the interior of Avalon Prison as soon as possible, so the team moved very quickly. Half an hour later, the team, which was several hundred feet long, arrived at the foot of the high gray wall.

Now, what appeared before them was a large courtyard. The gray walls were taller than the strongest giants. Moreover, judging from the strange light that flashed from time to time on the rough rock walls, these huge rocks that constructed the walls definitely contained some powerful magic.

"what!"

As Harry was looking at the wall, a scream suddenly came into his ears and frightened him so much that he shivered violently. Then, the screams continued one after another!
Harry looked up at the top of the wall, and at the same time he was surprised, he was also glad for Ron!
An eight-eyed spider as big as an African elephant appeared on the wall at some point. As if attracted by the delicious flesh and blood, the eight green compound eyes of this hideous-looking eight-eyed spider blinked wildly.

The constant clicking sound of those two terrifying black pincers instantly brought Harry back to the night two years ago when he and Hermione chased the escaped Peter in the Forbidden Forest!
hiss--
Even the more outstanding boys were gasping in shock.

The little wizards' fear further stimulated the eight-eyed spider. Its six legs behind the wall poked out one after another, and the sharp mouthparts dripped with fishy-smelling saliva that flowed down the cold rock wall.

"Get back--"

Amosta, who was at the front of the team, stopped and glanced back casually, but the eight-eyed spider was hit hard!
boom!
The gigantic eight-eyed spider screamed miserably, its limbs lost strength, and it fell heavily to the ground behind the wall!

Nott's mood had been gradually improving along the way, but after seeing the eight-eyed spider, his face suddenly turned pale and even his body shook.

"Let's go in and take a look first--"

Blaise patted Theodore's shoulder, who looked like he had lost his parents, and sighed.

"Control your behavior and do not anger the guardians of this prison—"

After walking along the circular wall for a while, Amosta stopped again, turned back and spoke calmly.

The prison guards--
No one anymore wondered about the identity of the prison guards.

Further ahead is a sparse oak forest.

As soon as they entered the forest, many little wizards began to shiver.

The bright sunshine shines through the complex branches and leaves, creating swaying light and shadows on the ground, and the grass is as green as a wash.

But even in such a clean and tidy forest, there is a chilling chill.

Harry tried his best to stay away from the trees in the woods. Every blade of grass and every tree here gave him a sense of danger.

Professor Brian continued walking forward and brought them to a hanging gate in the woods, where the little wizards saw the eight-eyed spider again.

This time there were more than twenty of them.

These spiders were slightly smaller than the one we just saw, and each one exuded an aura of anxiety.

However, after seeing Professor Brian, these spiders behaved very obediently. Two of them immediately skillfully operated a primitive winch device with their feet and lowered the portal.

But after they entered the gate, it closed again immediately.

“That’s simply.”

The scene before her made Qiu Zhang from Ravenclaw tremble all over. Tears welled up in her eyes and she curled up in Cedric's arms. Cedric just hugged her tightly and couldn't say a word of comfort.

The corners of Harry's mouth twitched. Now, he no longer had to wonder where the eight-eyed spider tribe that used to be rampant in the Forbidden Forest had gone!

Hundreds of eight-eyed spiders were roaming around in the sand between the wall and the pentagonal building. When their thousands of emerald green compound eyes cast hungry glances at them, many people collapsed directly, and most of those who were standing could not even walk!
"It they-"

One of Ginny's roommates squatted on the floor, covered her head and started crying, mumbling words.
"I—let's not eat—"

"Don't worry, Miss Audrey—"

Professor Brain waved his hand like chasing chickens, chasing the nearby eight-eyed spiders away.

"Generally speaking, they are not allowed to eat humans." (End of this chapter)
