Chapter 278 Dumbledore: Douglas, I need an explanation
·
Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
Dumbledore groped around the cave wall with his wand for a while, and finally paused in one place, then pretended to find nothing and said to everyone:
"This is just the vestibule, the entrance hall. We need to find the entrance here... Obviously, this is not an obstacle set by nature, but a mechanism set by Tom to stop us...so you See if you can find that organ and open it."
Sirius said with a wry smile, "Albus, we've graduated...we should as soon as possible..."
Dumbledore interrupted Sirius and said seriously: "This is a rare opportunity to learn about Tom's magic and compete with him...Douglas is right, we should use this opportunity reasonably. …”
Speaking of which, Dumbledore winked at Douglas.
Douglas looked confused, what do you mean by winking at me, when did I say let them seize this opportunity.
Seeing the eyes of Sirius and Lupine looking over, Douglas nodded seriously.
Then Douglas saw Sirius and Lupine look at each other, stood apart, and made a gesture of invitation to Douglas. Lupine said with a smile:
"I think this opportunity should be given to young people who have never seen the power of a mysterious person... What do you think, Padfoot?"
Sirius looked at Douglas and said, "I can't help but agree with this very good idea."
The corner of Douglas' mouth twitched, and he looked at Dumbledore, and Dumbledore looked at the top of the cave, as if there was a vortex that attracted him.
Douglas raised his eyebrows, took out the magic radar from his pocket, and underestimated who this is.
He adjusted the magic radar, and then inserted the probe into the crevice of the rock, and soon the structural diagram of the entire cave appeared on the display screen.
Sirius and Lupine didn't understand what this meant, but Dumbledore was very interested in seeing the content displayed on it. He was not too surprised, after all, he had seen this thing last time, and he was checking it seriously just now. I didn't find so many traces of magic when I was there.
After Dumbledore observed carefully, he asked, "Douglas, why isn't the situation behind the rock wall shown here?"
Douglas said without raising his head: "It's fun to be unknown. Don't learn from me. Alas, this tool makes me lack a lot of fun."
Sirius looked at Douglas with contempt, he had never seen such a pretense, and he didn't know who forced him to learn the principles of Muggle tools every day... Sirius suddenly thought that he seemed to have promised the other party to sell himself for ten years. .....
Douglas pointed to one of the arches formed by various traces of magic and said:
"This is the entrance to the entire Chamber of Secrets, where Voldemort sets up very complicated black magic, curses, defenses, identification, and even ritual magic...Sacrifice means exchange, and this magic symbol representing sacrifice shows It is blood red, which means that you can enter as long as you use blood containing magic. To be honest, this design is very low-level..."
Speaking of this, Douglas somewhat disdained Voldemort in his heart. He had no creativity, was not ruthless enough, and did not kill people...
Standing behind everyone, Kreacher showed a surprised expression on his face. Douglas was right. When the Dark Lord brought him here for the first time, he used his blood and let out a lot of blood.
At that time, Kreacher had the illusion that he was a bloodletted pig. If the Dark Lord hadn't used him later, he might have died because of the blood draining.
Thinking of Kreacher touching his dirty satchel, the dead mouse's blood had dried up and coagulated on the satchel, and there was a fruit knife that he took from the kitchen before going out, he was willing to help Lei Gu Master Les sacrificed once.
Dumbledore also said in a disappointed tone: "Actually, you can also understand that the reason is to let the opponent weaken themselves before they can enter. Once again, they failed to understand that there are many things that are more terrifying than physical injuries... ...."
After hearing what Dumbledore said, Douglas nodded in agreement:
"That's right, that's why I said this method is too low-level. If it were me, I would definitely set up a kind of heart-wrenching sacrifice magic. For example, let visitors kill their loved ones in front of the arch to sacrifice. Intense emotion, and then it is through that emotion that the arches open.
People of faith, they don't care about self-sacrifice, especially physical pain is insignificant to them.But it is a very painful thing for him to kill the person he loves for his own beliefs..."
After Douglas finished speaking, Sirius and Lupine couldn't help shivering.
Dumbledore's sharp eyes looked at Douglas through the half-moon eyes, and Douglas shrugged and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm just making an analogy, and I won't really do it. Don't forget that I am Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, I will definitely imagine those dark wizards to the most evil degree, and make preparations in advance, so that students will not suffer in the wizarding world in the future. Do you really think that no one will do this? The world is so big , there are always evil wizards with even more evil ideas."
After speaking, Douglas walked towards the position of the arch shown on the radar, drew out his wand, pointed at the blank rock wall, and muttered something.
Sirius frowned slightly and said: "Didn't you say that you need to use blood? What are you doing now? Are you planning to use magic to break open this place? If the operation is not done properly, will the entire cave be destroyed? If If necessary, use my blood to open this arch..."
Douglas ignored him, but continued to fiddle with it. With the sweat dripping from Douglas' forehead, Dumbledore noticed that the radar inserted in the crevice of the rock, the original blood-red trace of magic on the screen gradually turned into a pale one. White.
Then I saw Douglas.After searching in his pocket for a long time, he took out two half-human tall stones and piled them on the left and right sides of the arch.
I saw Douglas pointing his wand at one of the stones, and soon there was a half-kneeling figure with his hands tied behind him on that stone.
After Dumbledore saw this man's appearance, he first sighed deeply, and explained to Sirius and Lupine: "This is the appearance of 16-year-old Tom, and it should be that Douglas used to be in that other Horcrux." As you can see. But Douglas, will you have some...forget it, it's okay..."
At the moment the statue was formed, the radar showed milky white magic traces entwined with the stone statue.
Douglas explained:
"I have modified the blood sacrifice magic. Whoever wants to come in after that, just need to spit at this stone statue and the arch will appear.
Of course, I only know this form of Voldemort at present. If he returns later, he will have a different appearance. I will engrave him on the other side, which can be regarded as a kind of atonement for those heroes.
Professor, I suddenly had another idea. I want to build some memorial stone statues in this hall, and put those who fought against Voldemort here for later generations to pay their respects and let Voldemort repent to them. Of course, we will go back to Let's talk after school. "
After hearing Douglas' proposal, Sirius and Lupine were in a daze. How many people in the Order of the Phoenix had sacrificed back then.
Douglas took the lead and spit at the stone statue. A white light flashed on the stone statue, and the phlegm disappeared immediately.
Immediately after, a dazzling white light flashed on the rock wall, and an arched door appeared in front of the eyes, and the rock wall also disappeared, revealing a doorway, with endless darkness inside.
Douglas put away the magic radar and was about to walk forward, but was stopped by Dumbledore. He winked at several people and said with a smile:
"I'll come first, you wait for my signal. Although Tom's method is low-level, it also has a lot of troubles. Of course, I am more confident than you..."
After speaking, Dumbledore lit his wand and stepped directly towards the dark doorway.
Douglas shrugged, and walked directly inside without waiting for Dumbledore's signal.Dobby was the first to react, and quickly rushed towards the door, saying loudly, "Boss, Dobby comes first!"
When everyone stepped in, they were all taken aback by the sight in front of them. They were standing on the edge of a large black lake.
Because Dobby rushed too fast, fortunately Dumbledore grabbed his arm with his quick hands and eyes.
Several people stood side by side by the lake and looked around. The darkness here seemed to be denser and thicker than ordinary darkness, and ordinary light could not penetrate through it. Not to the top of this cave.
In the distance, it seems that in the middle of the lake, there is a hazy green light, which is reflected in the dead lake.
Sirius pointed to the center of the lake and asked, "Is that where we are going? Is Regulus near there? Kreacher, what do I ask you?"
Seeing Kreacher trembling all over, Sirius finally roared angrily.
Kreacher burst into tears and nodded fiercely. He leaned firmly against the rock wall. He knew that there were countless waters in the lake.
Then he pointed to a place in the darkness with trembling fingers and said, "There, there, there is a small boat pulled out of the lake, and the Dark Lord took Kreacher to the middle of the lake by boat..."
Dumbledore didn't move. Originally, he just thought the scene in front of him was a bit familiar, but when Kreacher said that he pulled the boat out of the lake, he suddenly looked back at Douglas, and said softly:
"Douglas, I think you should give me an explanation!"
"This is just the vestibule, the entrance hall. We need to find the entrance here... Obviously, this is not an obstacle set by nature, but a mechanism set by Tom to stop us...so you See if you can find that organ and open it."
