Chapter 674
"Is it safe?"
Dudley was fluffing his hair like a gorilla, watching carefully out the window.
This guy was the first to recover and speak.
The dreaded vortex had begun to no longer surround the Dursleys' house.
The dense gray-white beetles scattered from the glass, and they all disappeared.
It did embolden the fool to peek outside.
Of course, what the Dursleys did...had nothing to do with the golden...gold-like color of light outside right now.
If someone asked, Vernon Dursley would definitely answer in the negative like this.
However, the actions of Penny, Vernon and his family lying on the window in a fascination, looking outside (the golden tree standing in the distance of the black-red land), honestly expressed their thoughts.
Their behavior made Sirius Black feel uneasy.
He was terrified that these idiots would go out on their own and be sent to Voldemort's door.
"what is that?"
At this time, all the people in the room also reacted together. They looked at the world tree outside which could not see the top, and cast a hazy golden light in all directions.
"The Golden Tree...that is the legendary world tree..."
Unexpectedly...it was actually Emily Albert who explained to several people what this tree was.
"However, if you ask me... I'm more worried... Where did we end up?"
After speaking, Emily raised her arm and pointed to the scene outside the window in another part of the room.
That's a more fragmented sky.
In sight, the sky was broken into pieces, dusk, dawn, night, noon, dark clouds, cloudless blue, huge red moon, half-covered huge sun... even endless black snowstorms, black rain and white fog all appeared in this world.
These strange sights, they split the whole world into unique regions.
On the other side of the Golden Tree, it was dusk, and the flake clouds like fish scales spread all over the sky, and the reflected golden light was like a peerless golden treasure.
Those golden rays of light have even been irradiated here.
However, the sky scene here...is not consistent with that of the World Tree.
The color of the sky here gives people a feeling of being unable to tell when it is, a cold autumn and winter feeling... It's like a BBS fluorescent filter is set on the land in this area. The land outside is always gloomy and extremely desolate.
Except for the bloody black rock floor, there are only clusters of twisted fossil dead branches... scattered everywhere.
And in the sky farther away, all of them could see a vortex spinning continuously, constantly sucking out the residue of London... Viaducts, Muggle cottages, apartment buildings, high-rise commercial office buildings, and even Ferris wheels in playgrounds... Buses, trains, planes... All kinds of things were sprayed out...
From time to time, there are Muggles screaming all the way... Flying out of that vortex, and being flung lightly to other places.
Farther away, they could see the orange-red lava waterfall emitting suspicious gas rushing down from the cliff hundreds of meters high, and the lava rivers of the same color spread all over the black-red plain...
However, in this room, Emily, Dursley and the others didn't feel the scorching heat wave 'ignited' in the house following the scene outside.
It's like everything in the outside world...is a feast of visual deception.
And those lava flows in the sky... the various giant statues of ancient wizards buried deep in the black and red earth, and the broken temples show that this is not just a new world.
"Yes, what's this place?" said Mrs. Figg.
Despite her nominal ties to the wizarding world, and Dumbledore sending her to keep an eye on the Dursleys, Mrs. Arabella Figg hadn't had any more ties to the wizarding world since she came of age.
The strange fall of the city of London itself made her a little uneasy.
What's more, with the Dursley family's house now, they came to such a world that they had never heard of.
This increasingly outrageous incident even made Mrs. Figg forget... Emily Albert's magic ring.
(As a Squib, her desire for the (that makes people sense use magic) ring... is beyond reproach.)
Sirius Black recognized where this is...
It made him even more restless, though.
Harry had told him once, describing the...
——Voldemort's secret little world.
That woman is indeed the Dark Lord!
'The guy might even be waiting outside...'
This made Black even more convinced of his terrible guess.
"Don't go out! Just stay in this house...we're safe. Professor Dumbledore will come to our rescue..."
Black could only insist on this in front of the Middle Muggles, and declare it again and again.
However, it is not known how many people still believe it.
……
"Master, I... what are we doing now!?"
Lucius stammered and asked Nagia Voldemort.
The three of them were drawn into that vortex... When they came to this world, they were separated.
But Lucius and Bellatrix didn't dare to leave Voldemort directly. They hurriedly searched for Voldemort's traces in this strange yet familiar land.
Soon, they found the body that Voldemort was possessing now.
She was standing on a huge black rock face, looking down at the Muggle house.
The gloomy tone in the entire sky cast a shadow on her body, so that the two of them didn't confirm that the female figure was really Voldemort until they got very close.
Now, the three of them stood on this rock face, observing that Muggle dwelling... for a long time.
The long silence made Lucius a little unbearable. In this oppressive atmosphere...he asked Voldemort what they were doing in this place.
Bellatrix also leaned out, trying to get as close to Voldemort as possible... Acting aggressively, as if she had permission to show her curiosity about it.
However, her gray-white fake eye still blinked from time to time, and the beetle's tentacles vibrated and pulled quickly on the edge of the eye socket...but it destroyed Bellatrix's image in front of Voldemort.
Nagia Voldemort didn't answer her servant's question. She raised Lucius Malfoy's wand and pointed it at the house...
However, she did not cast any offensive spells.
Instead, the Void circled around and cast another spell directly on the periphery of the house to trap the Muggles.
This made Lucius a little confused.
"Why... Malfoy, do you have more important things to do?" After finishing all this, Nagia Voldemort turned his face and asked Malfoy coldly.
"No, no...Master!" Lucius Malfoy nervously stroked his gray arm, which was not like ordinary people, and immediately responded.
"Very well, now... we will wait here..."
"Master? Who are you waiting for? As long as you order... I will be the first to rush up..." Bellatrix stepped up to show her loyalty.
"Idiot, this house just appeared in front of us now, as long as you rush up, it will disappear without a trace from our cognition..."
"Just wait... Someone will automatically come to the door and open this house for us..."
Nagia Voldemort hissed and sneered, sending chills down Lucius and Bellatrix.
They could only pretend to be suddenly enlightened and nodded hastily.
……
The McGuffin held out his forearm, and Harry held onto it tightly.
Harry asked extremely nervously, "McGuffin, are you sure? Otherwise...or...we'd better fly over slowly? At least it's guaranteed...If it's not right, we can just turn around..."
"No...that's right...wrong!" Even Hagrid stuttered a bit, "What if you lose something...whether it's yours or Harry's...there's no wizard in this place to give you repairs. What's more, what if...you move directly into that lava river?"
Hearing this, Harry suddenly became dumbfounded.
McGuffin Albert and the three of them were standing by an extremely wide lava river.
On the other side, a golden light was shining farther away, and Harry and McGuffin, who had already seen the World Tree, immediately knew that it should be the location of the [Cultivation Garden].
Although Dumbledore wasn't there, there should be many professors and foreign wizards in that place, and Voldemort's painstaking efforts to remove Harry from the tree's position also meant that they were better off doing the opposite.
This was also the decision after discussion between McGuffin, Hagrid, and Harry.
That's why the three of them left Diagon Alley, abandoned the rabble at the Leaky Cauldron (the other warriors didn't agree with the plan of the three of them)...to the direction of the World Tree...and walked slowly on this strange brown-black-red land.
Then they encountered this huge lava river that cut off their direction.
Due to the scorching bubbles that exploded from the lava river from time to time, various splashes of heat... and the choking and dangerous gas... McGuffin rejected Harry's proposal to fly over without hesitation.
And Hagrid's idea of bypassing the river was officially declared shattered after they walked along the bank for a long time and saw the river shrink.
In the end, McGuffin confirmed that the magic of [Phantom Apparition] could be used within a short distance in this world... Then he suggested that he take the two of them across the lava river.
Looking at the orange-red river of rolling lava, Harry still felt a little weak in his calves and retreated a little. He proposed to fly higher and fly over this river of lava.
But at the top of the sky, there is still that huge blood-red vortex... It is constantly spewing all kinds of things towards this desolate and empty black land, even including living corpses...
Fortunately, these living corpses were scattered and did not form a wave of corpses. In the eyes of a few people, they were easy to deal with. They didn't even need to use their wands, just let Hagrid kick them one by one into the lava flows that almost spread all over the world.
It is precisely because of this factor that McGuffin strongly disapproved of Harry's idea. Who knows what they will encounter when they fly into the sky.
McGuffin, who had participated in the war against the giant zombies, knew that the power of those strange-shaped zombies might not be much less powerful. To avoid those guys, it was better to stay away.
In comparison... [Apparition] is indeed the easiest and most convenient way to cross the river.
It's just that the parties involved are a little unconvinced.
Under McGuffin's persuasion, Harry still held onto McGuffin's forearm tightly.
"Harry, get ready..." said McGuffin, "we're going."
There was a pop of air.
The two immediately disappeared beside Hagrid, and a second later, they appeared on the opposite bank safe and sound.
Harry bent down and breathed in the poisonous hot air. After a long time, he opened his tearful eyes and slowly recovered.
He saw that McGuffin did not go over immediately, and pulled Hagrid.
Instead, something is buckled on the ground...
It's a Splinter Spear, part of an abandoned statue in this world...
"Mentos!"
The MacGuffin casts a Portkey spell on it.
To be honest, his [Apparition] could barely move Harry at best, and Hagrid's size couldn't move him at all, just like what he said...the most likely thing is...the two of them would move directly to the midair of the lava river and fall directly into it.
"I hope the apex will use it!"
McGuffin muttered to himself after finishing the portkey.
That's when he saw Harry wake up.
"Are you okay? The taste of [Apparition] is really uncomfortable, you need to get used to it slowly...Okay, I'll go pick up Hagrid first..."
After speaking, under Harry's envious eyes, McGuffin disappeared before his eyes and reappeared next to Hagrid.
After difficult negotiations, Hagrid still held onto the Portkey tightly.
McGuffin tapped with his wand, and the two disappeared in place.
Accompanied by a dazzling light, McGuffin and Hagrid were directly thrown from the air by the half spear.
It hit the ground hard.
McGuffin felt that his ears were buzzing, as if they were filled with water, and he smashed into Hagrid in a daze.
After a period of rest and tidying up, the three embarked on an adventurous journey again, approaching the direction of the golden tree step by step.
Of course, during the journey, McGuffin was still very careful... He was always on guard against Voldemort who might attack suddenly, or Harry himself suddenly lost control and was possessed by the Dark Lord.
However, he couldn't guess...the Dark Lord would be waiting for them ahead.
Sitting on the sidelines is the right thing to do.
"What is that!?"
Relying on his height, Hagrid was the first to discover a house standing alone on this black and red plain.
Still Muggle style.
Later, McGuffin and Harry also saw it and recognized it.
Especially Harry, how could he forget the house he had lived in for more than ten years.
"Four Privet Drive... the Dursley's house... how is that possible? How did they end up here..."
Harry muttered to himself.
This scene is undoubtedly extremely weird.
It's a bit like the old temple on the barren hill and the witch's candy house in horror stories.
