Chapter 240 On the Island

Under the anxious and worried eyes of Lupin and Kreacher, the small boat carrying the two of them slowly started and began to move away from the lake shore.

The entire lake was silent, save for the soft rustling of the boat's bow as it pierced the dark water.

The boat moves automatically and they don't have to do anything.

There seemed to be an invisible rope pulling the boat to the small island in the middle of the lake.

Soon the lakeshore was no longer visible.

Driving on this dark lake feels like sailing on the ocean, but without the sound of crashing waves.

Along the way, Sirius didn't say a word. He held up his wand to illuminate the route ahead and looked around vigilantly.

Wright next to him was sitting quietly on the edge of the boat with his eyes closed, looking very relaxed.

But there was a faint black mist emanating from his body, and he was investigating the surroundings.

I don’t know how long we sailed, but the speed of the boat began to slow down and become slower and slower.

"We're almost there, ready to disembark!"

Sirius called softly to Light, who still had his eyes closed.

Opening his eyes which had turned dark, he saw directly through the rocky island covered by fog not far away.

This island in the center of the lake is only about 20 square meters in size.

However, it was empty, with only a stone base about one meter high.

There is also a stone basin integrated with the base, and green light is constantly overflowing from the basin.

"bump!"

The sound of the boat gently approaching the shore drew all of Wright's attention back.

Sirius was the first to jump off the boat and started searching directly on the edge of the island.

But Wright didn't do that and went straight to the center of the island.

Seeing that Light was so brave, Sirius was worried that something might happen to him, so he didn't bother to search and hurried to catch up.

On this small island, Wright quickly arrived at his target location.

Walking to the stone basin, he quietly looked at the dark green liquid in the basin that was constantly emitting a faint glow.

Black mist that was imperceptible to the naked eye seeped out from his body and was flowing along the stone basin as the center, slowly blending into the interior of the entire island!

At this time, Sirius, who followed Wright, looked at the liquids and asked with a trembling voice:

"Is this what Regulus drank? It looks like it's very easy to swallow!"

Wright, who understood his current mood, did not say anything.

Sirius, who did not respond, stared at the locket at the bottom of the potion with burning eyes and asked unwillingly:

"Do I have to drink this? Is there no other solution?"

In response to Sirius' self-blaming question, Wright sighed silently and explained:

"Yes, these potions must be drunk!"

"If you process these potions any other way, the entire island will sink into the lake."

"Then we will have to destroy all the Inferi at the bottom of the lake to get the Horcrux."

Sirius was silent for a long time after hearing this, and Wright was tactful enough not to disturb his recollection.

After a long time, Sirius took a deep breath, looked at Wright, and said with a firm expression:

"Wright, I plan to go directly to the lake to salvage Regulus' body."

"After all, there are too many Inferi. I don't want to lure them up and then deal with them. This is very dangerous."

After hearing his decision, Len didn't say anything, but looked at Sirius deeply.

I understand that he doesn't want to take any risks, so he chooses to do this.

So Wright thought about it, felt there was no problem, nodded, and agreed with his decision:

"Now that you have made your decision, come with me. I know where Regulus is."

After saying this, Wright ignored Sirius's surprised look and walked straight to the edge of the island.

Looking at his leaving back, Sirius scratched his head unconsciously and murmured:

"That's not right! How did Light know Regulus's location? We've been together basically the whole time."

"Or did Kreacher tell him?"

After thinking for a while, he still didn't understand. When he saw that the person was about to walk away, he hurriedly followed.

After jogging all the way, Sirius finally saw Wright at the edge of the island.

And he was constantly taking out various things from the space equipment.

When Wright saw Sirius coming over, he threw him a jumpsuit that looked a bit tight.

"Put this on, the diving suit I made!"

"It carries the magic of the petrification spell, which can isolate the breath of living people. And this..."

After Sirius took the clothes, he handed over a tight hood and said:

"This is a diving mask. It has a bubble head charm attached to it, which allows you to breathe directly in the water."

"Put it on quickly and try it out to see if there is any problem!"

At Wright's urging, Sirius didn't hesitate and took off all his clothes except his shorts.

Then, he quickly put on the entire set of diving equipment.

And at Wright's instruction, he jumped up and down on the shore, getting used to putting on the diving equipment.

"How is it, can you adapt?"

"Move around and see if there's anything wrong or uncomfortable!"

Sirius now looks like a professional diving frogman.

She is wrapped in a tight black diving suit from head to toe, but the bubbles on her head are a bit distracting.

After stretching his body, he gave a thumbs up and said, "I feel fine. It doesn't hinder my activities at all!"

After Sirius said it was okay, Wright handed him a pair of goggles and began to introduce the product:

"Diving goggles. I used the Spell of the Spell as a basis, and combined it with the memory provided by Kreacher."

"Add the 'Apparition Spell' to create an alchemical item."

"Not only can it help you see the situation at the bottom of the lake, but it can also accurately locate Regulus's presence."

"When the time comes, just follow its guidance."

Listening to Wright's introduction, Sirius obediently put on his diving goggles.

Not long after, three-dimensional coordinates appeared out of thin air in front of his eyes, and there were small arrows indicating the direction to move forward.

There are even some that can show how many meters are left to reach the destination.

Seeing such a strange scene, Sirius was completely stunned and it took him a long time to recover.

It wasn't until he heard Wright's call that he woke up from his daze:

"Sirius, Sirius, answer me! Are you awake now..."

Sirius, who had come to his senses, quickly shouted, "I'm fine! No problem."

After hearing that there was no problem, Wright felt relieved.

At this time, Sirius, who was fiddling with his diving goggles, asked with a hint of doubt:

"Wright, this diving goggles gave me an idea. Can't we use the flying spell?"

"Just bring Regulus here, then there's no need to go into the water!"
