Chapter 454

"Since that 'Horcrux' is in the middle of the lake, why should we go up there? can't we try the Flying Charm?" Harry said a stupid remark as he looked at the ink-like lake with some concern.

"You can give it a try. Solim sat down on a fairly flat rock, but he quickly got to his feet—an ice ass.

"You've mastered this spell well last year, you can try it. "

Harry looked at Dumbledore as if to ask for his opinion.

"Of course, Harry, like Solim said, you can give it a try. Dumbledore smiled, "I don't think it's going to be useful, though. "

Harry cleared his throat, raised his wand, and said loudly, "Horcruxes fly!"

With a loud explosion, a large, pale creature leaped up from the pitch-black lake twenty feet away. Before Harry could see what it was, it disappeared again, splashing in a deep, deep ripple on the calm water. Harry jumped backwards in shock, crashing into the rock wall. He turned to Dumbledore, his heart still pounding.

"W-what is that?" Harry was still stunned, he didn't think that thing was the Horcrux Dumbledore was talking about.

"Unfriendly stuff. Dumbledore looked at the lake, and for a few seconds it was calm again, "And it's not 'that', it's 'those things.'" "

Harry turned his face to look at the lake again. The surface of the lake became bright and smooth again like black glass. The ripples disappeared at a ridiculously fast rate, but Harry's heart was still beating like a drum.

"Mean- there's more than one of those things?" Harry swallowed, "So how are we going to get there?"

"It's just a corpse. Solim said, "It's not hard to deal with, a single fire can burn them all." Unless the Dark Lord's Yin Corpse placed here was specially treated - but even then I find it hard to believe that he would use the Yin Corpse to protect his Horcruxes. "

Solim walked over to Dumbledore's side, "Headmaster, do you think this is normal, and he would use something like a corpse to protect his Horcruxes?"

"If you can understand the magic that Tom has set up at the entrance," Dumbledore said, "I don't think you will be surprised by the Yin corpses here." "

"If I'm not mistaken, this Horcrux is the first Horcrux he's ever made in the true sense of the word as an adult, and it's very different from the other two rings and journals you've found. Dumbledore ignored Harry's presence, and the amount of information contained in his words was a bit scary.

—but still superficial. Dumbledore said this with obvious disdain, "He never understood...... Alright, kids, I think it's time for us to get over. "

"But...... How are we going to get there?" Harry struggled to find a way to get them to the island in the middle of the lake, "Are we going to get into the water? "

"That's right, it's not wise to touch the waters of these lakes that have obvious signs of spellcasting. Dumbledore said, "But it's not like we can't get to the middle of the lake. "

"Can we fly over?" Harry asked, "Solim's phoenix can take us all there." "

"You've never been smarter, Harry. Solim said with a smile on the side.

"That's true. Dumbledore laughed too.

Harry was the only one who hadn't figured out what was going on, so was there something wrong with what he had just said?

"The cast traces here are very dense. Dumbledore explained, "And with a lot of limiting magic, the Flying Charm is not something that everyone can master, but Tom obviously took it into account, not only the Flying Charm, but even the illusion is restricted. If we want to get to the middle of the lake, we have to rely on Tom's left. "

"But Phoenix is different. Solim continued Dumbledore's words and said, "It's not something that wizards' restriction spells can bind, and wizards with phoenixes are so rare that I don't think the Dark Lord can think of any good way to limit them, even if they consider the phoenix's loophole." "

"Yes, yes. Dumbledore said, "Tom would never have imagined that two wizards with phoenixes would be here. "

"Shall we fly over there, then?" Harry asked, trying not to think about what would happen if he fell out of the sky into the lake.

"No," Dumbledore shook his head, "I think it's better to use the method left by Tom, there are loopholes does not mean that it is safe, and to be safe, we will cross the lake according to the method left by Tom." "

Harry looked at the calm mirror-like surface of the lake, "What way?"

"Here. Dumbledore walked over to the lake and said, "This is it." "

Harry didn't understand what Dumbledore meant. It seemed to him that the dark shores of the lake were no different from other places, but Dumbledore seemed to sense something special. This time, instead of stroking over the rock wall as he did when he first entered, his hand slowly swiped through the air, as if trying to find and grasp something intangible.

"Ah, I think I found it. After a few seconds, Dumbledore said happily. He clasped his hands together and grabbed something invisible in the air. Dumbledore slowly moved towards the lake, and Harry watched nervously as the tips of Dumbledore's copper-clasped shoes moved to the outermost part of the rocky edge. Dumbledore was still dangling in the air and clutching that hand, holding his wand in his other hand, smacked the tip of his wand into his fist.

Suddenly, a thick green copper chain suddenly emerged from the depths of the lake and leapt towards Dumbledore's clenched fist. Dumbledore tapped the chain with his wand, and it began to slide through his fist like a snake, coiling in a heap on the ground, and the sound of tintins hitting the rock wall with a loud echo. The chain dragged something up from the bottom of the pitch-black lake. Harry watched in amazement as the bow of a small boat suddenly emerged from the surface of the lake like a ghost, glowing green like a chain, and floated towards the shore where they stood, barely causing a ripple.

"How do you know it's there?" asked Harry, surprised.

"Magic always leaves a trace," Dumbledore said, and with a soft thud, the boat crashed into the shore, "sometimes very noticeable marks." I've taught Tom and know his style. "

"This ...... Is this boat safe?" Harry looked at the boat worriedly, it could only hold two people, and looking at the draft of the boat, Harry was even worried that he and Solim would sink as soon as they got in.

"Oh, I think it's safe. Voldemort needed a way to cross the lake smoothly in case he needed to visit or retrieve his Horcruxes, so as not to anger the guys he had placed in the lake. "

"But...... How are we going to sit?" Harry looked at the boat as if he wished it would suddenly get bigger, "we can't sit down. "

"Oh, I guess that's not a problem. Dumbledore smiled and winked at Harry, "That should be Mr. Selwyn's consideration." "

Solim couldn't help but roll his eyes, he knew it was going to be like this.
