Chapter 239 Crossing the Lake
After roughly guessing Voldemort's methods, Light tapped his left hand with his wand, and a faint light flashed by.
He has already attached 'Quick Apparition' to his hand!
"Get out of the way first, let me try!"
Facing the two figures, one big and one small, groping in the air, they turned their heads tacitly to look at Wright, who was confident, and silently made way.
The two men and the elf looked at Light nervously as he also stretched his hand into the air.
Through his keen magical perception and magical vision, Wright accurately grasped the long and somewhat cold chain!
"I found it, stay away from me!"
He gave a reminder and then just pulled hard.
In the silent space, the sound of chains colliding could be heard.
A thin chain that was pulled straight by Wright jumped out of the lake out of thin air.
As he continued to pull, he could feel his magic power constantly dissipating.
When Lupin and Sirius saw his actions, they didn't even bother to be surprised and hurried forward to help.
Light stopped them from helping and said, "Don't come over! It's absorbing my magic."
"I can feel it is using magic to shape a ship. Don't interfere, or you'll make mistakes."
After saying this, he controlled the huge amount of magic power in his body and accelerated it to flow into the chains.
After feeling the boat taking shape, he immediately exerted force, intending to force the boat to "fly" up.
As Wright pulled it, the chain shrank violently and began to shake.
"bang"
The boat was pulled up from under the dark lake surface and slowly moved towards the distant lake surface in the direction of the force of the chain!
The two people and the elf who were watching were all shocked to see the boat suddenly appear out of the lake like a ghost.
The boat emitted a green light and floated towards the lake shore. There was not a ripple at all during the whole process, as if it were an illusion.
After the boat docked, the green light emanating from it disappeared and it turned into an ordinary boat.
After the boat was towed over, everyone calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief!
Kreacher trotted over and circled around Wright for several times, observing him in detail for a long time before anxiously asking:
"Sir, how are you? Are you okay? Have you been attacked?"
Wright let go of the chain in his hand, clenched his fist, and said to Kreacher with a smile: "I'm fine!"
Lupin and Sirius were constantly looking at the small boat in front of them that was condensed by magic.
Sirius stroked his chin and said thoughtfully:
"Voldemort always seems to be weakening interlopers."
"The blood to open the door, the boat made by extracting magic power from the chains, and the potion and the corpse to drink when the time comes..."
Lupin nodded slightly, agreeing with Sirius, and added:
"Not only that, it will take a lot of energy to solve the puzzle left by Voldemort."
Sirius nodded, looked at Wright and Kreacher who were approaching, and asked hesitantly:
"Is this boat safe? It doesn't seem very strong."
"Yeah, it's safe! I could feel it when I was shaping it."
"Besides, there is no need for Voldemort to make any moves here. Regulus has also gone there."
After inspecting the boat, Lupin agreed with Wright's statement:
"I checked it, and there is indeed no problem!"
"After all, given Voldemort's character, he will probably come back to check the Horcruxes."
"By then, he will need a tool that can cross the lake so as not to activate the Inferi he has placed in the lake."
Sirius looked at the boat, pondered for a moment, looked up at everyone, and said with a serious expression:
"It doesn't look like it can carry many people. Let me and Kreacher pass through, and you guys stop here!"
Grabbing Kreacher who was about to jump onto the boat, Light rejected Sirius' plan.
"No, I'll go with you."
"If I wasn't on board, the boat wouldn't be very stable."
"What's the meaning??"
Facing the two's questions, Wright pressed Kreacher to the shore and explained directly:
"You don't think that Voldemort has never considered the situation where multiple intruders could support each other!"
"He has thought about it, and thought deeply about it!"
"This ship was shaped by my magic. Without me, it would easily fall apart."
After listening to Wright's explanation, Sirius's expression was not very good, and his tone became more hesitant:
“But this boat doesn’t look like it’s meant for two people.
"One person plus a little elf is not a big deal!"
"With two of us, will it be able to bear our weight? Wouldn't we be too heavy?"
Seeing that Sirius was obviously worried, Wright spread his hands and said:
"Voldemort must have considered the weight and number of people to design this boat like this."
"But he's more concerned about how much magic will pass through the lake."
"As long as the total amount of magic on board does not exceed the upper limit set by Voldemort, there will be no problem."
"So, now I'm Voldemort, and you're the elf!"
After listening to Wright's explanation, Lupin, who had been silent all this time, asked anxiously, "Is there no other way to get there?"
He really didn't want to sit back and watch his friends and students take risks together.
Wright thought about it and decided to tell what he knew to avoid any trouble:
"I'm afraid not. Ordinary ships cannot sail on the lake."
"As for the air, the light bird has already told me that it is forbidden to fly over, otherwise it will trigger the defense mechanism."
Since the appearance of the Yin corpse, the light bird, which had been dimming, also lit up, proving that what Wright said was true.
"Well! It seems that Voldemort has not left us any loopholes."
Sirius smiled bitterly and shook his head, nodded to Lupin and Kreacher, then boarded the boat directly.
When he first got on board, the boat sank a little.
After Lupin used magic to illuminate the surroundings, Light took back the bird of light.
Then, after stepping aboard, the boat immediately sank more than halfway, looking as if it was carrying a heavy load.
The two of them were squeezed in the small boat, with no place to sit, so they could only squat with their buttocks against the edge of the boat.
However, Wright also judged the approximate magical power of Voldemort based on the draft depth of the ship.
According to the standards of the stone tablet, it should be around nine o'clock, the peak state among wizards.
If we add the amplification of the Horcrux, it will be really powerful!
Lupin looked at the two people who were about to set off and whispered:
"Remember, if you encounter an Inferi, remember to use the Fire Spell. They are afraid of light and heat!"
"Got it. I will definitely use 'fire' to treat them well."
After hearing Lupin's instructions, Wright and Sirius nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.
