Chapter 237 Heading to the Stone Cave
At Wright's call, the newly made Light Bird No. 2 appeared in the air of the hall, and kept disappearing and reappearing.
Looking at the flying bird in the sky, Lupin and Sirius both widened their eyes.
After seeing through the window that the sun was about to set, Wright called back the light bird and reminded it:
"Let's get going quickly! It's already late. If we're any later, we'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, okay! Let's go now."
Sirius, who was distracted by the disappearance of the light bird, responded quickly after hearing Light's words. He didn't want to delay any longer.
Because in order to move in space, you have to go to the destination first before you can accurately locate it.
So, the three people and one elf in the hall now held hands and formed a circle.
Led by Kreacher, they performed the 'Apparition'.
After a familiar dizzying moment, when Wright came to his senses, he found himself in a place he had never been to before.
Now they are on the edge of a cliff and can directly see the extremely vast ocean.
The moist sea breeze whistled past us as the evening approached, bringing the long-lost slight coolness of midsummer.
"Hoohoo!"
At this moment, Kreacher's heavy and turbid breathing attracted Wright's attention.
Lupin and Sirius spread out cautiously, looking for possible clues here.
Wright looked at Kreacher, who was breathing heavily and shaking constantly, and asked worriedly:
"Are you okay? Do you want to rest here for a while?"
"Sir, Kreacher is fine. Kreacher doesn't need to rest!"
The elderly Kreacher waved his hands quickly, rejecting Wright's proposal with a look of great fear.
Lupin and Sirius searched the area around the cliff, but found nothing.
"Kreacher, where is the cave? What should we do now?"
Sirius, whose search was fruitless, ran over in a hurry and found Kreacher who had just caught his breath.
"The destination is there, we need to climb down!"
Kreacher pointed at the long, deep crack at the bottom of the cliff.
"What are you waiting for? I'll go down first..."
"No, leave it to me!"
"Remember not to resist, there's no danger!"
Light interrupted Sirius and summoned Light Bird No. 1.
Under the puzzled looks of Lupin, Sirius and Kreacher, silvery-white light fell on it.
Before they could react, they were all surrounded by light.
"Wow!!!"
Amid screams of panic, the three people and the elf were each wrapped in a ball of light and slowly floated in the air.
But they all listened to Wright's reminder and did not resist. Instead, they looked at the ball of light that wrapped around them curiously.
Under the control of the light bird, they flew into the crack in an orderly manner.
The bird of light led the way in the front, and the ball of light that enveloped the three people and the elf flew forward along the narrow crack of the cave.
Soon, they all landed safely under the guidance of the light bird.
"Wuhu, it's so exciting and cool!"
After the light disappeared, Sirius was the first to cheer, his face full of excitement, and Lupin also had a smile on his face.
But Kreacher's legs were shaking, his face was pale, and the elf was in a bad state.
After everyone calmed down, they looked around!
With the light brought by the light bird, they found themselves in a closed stone cave.
The surrounding stone walls were filled with silt brought by the sea water, which looked disgusting.
"Is this the place? How come there is no road? Kreacher!"
After searching for a while and finding no way forward, Lupin and Sirius looked at Kreacher who was also searching.
Facing the suspicious looks from the two, Kreacher suddenly became anxious and shouted:
"It's here! Kreacher, remember this is the place. You have to smear blood on the wall to see the road."
"But Kreacher forgot which stone wall it was!"
Lupin and Sirius looked at each other and both felt a little headache.
Just when they were having a headache, Wright keenly felt that there were slight traces of magic on the stone wall on the right.
He carefully covered his right hand with the nightmare black fog and gently touched the stone wall that seemed to have problems.
Sure enough, Wright's right hand, wrapped in black mist, went straight through the uneven stone wall.
“Here I found it!”
"really?"
Sirius and Lupin turned around and saw that Wright's right hand had just been pulled out from the wall, and they ran over excitedly.
"Can this spell be broken? Or do we need to use blood to open the way forward?"
After searching the entire stone wall, they did not find any passage and could not help but look at Wright again.
Facing their inquiring eyes, Wright also gave the answer directly:
"I can crack it, but the problem is that this magic and the cave are in a balance."
"If I undo this magic, the cave will lose its support and collapse."
"Then use Kreacher's blood!"
After hearing what Wright said, Kreacher's eyes turned red and he was about to crash into the stone wall.
Lupin was frightened by Kreacher's actions and quickly stopped the aggressive house-elf.
"Kreacher, let me do it!"
"It's already very tiring for you to bring us here, and you'll need to take us away later, so don't be impulsive."
"Let me do it. It's me who wants to find Regulus. I should be the one to sacrifice."
"No, it's all Kreacher's fault..."
……
Just as they were arguing fiercely, Wright's faint voice came:
"I only said that breaking the magic is dangerous, but I didn't say there is no other way. Can you please trust me a little more?"
"what!!!"
"I checked. What is needed to activate the magic protection is living magic liquid."
"It doesn't have to be blood. It's just that blood is the easiest to obtain."
"I can make it, but it will take some time!"
After saying that, Wright ignored them and started to get busy.
The two people and the elf looked at each other and smiled awkwardly but politely at the same time.
After laughing awkwardly for a while, Sirius stared blankly at Wright who was injecting magic power into the potion, and then he said belatedly:
"No wonder Voldemort took the risk of being exposed and brought a house-elf with him."
"Instead of just finding a random Muggle to sacrifice, that's what this is!"
Lupin also reacted when he heard it. The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and he couldn't help but nod repeatedly.
Not long after, under their expectant gazes, Wright sprinkled the prepared potion directly onto the problematic stone wall.
Soon after coming into contact with the potion, a faint white light appeared on the uneven stone wall.
As the potion was completely absorbed, the stone wall split in the middle, revealing a dark passage.
At Wright's signal, the light bird flew in first to clear the way and provide lighting.
They lined up in a row and followed the light bird in an orderly manner.
