Chapter 365 Dark Lake
As the group reached the door, Mr. Weasley, unfamiliar with the place, tripped over the large umbrella stand made of the troll's broken leg. As a result, he grabbed the two velvet curtains full of insect eyes and pulled it away.
Oh, shit— Before Sirius could finish speaking, a terrifying, deafening, creepy scream came from a portrait behind the curtain.
Beasts! Bitches! Dirty and sinful bastards! Bastards, freaks, ugly ones, get out of here! How dare you defile my grandfather's house—
Shut up! Sirius grabbed the curtain. You horrible old witch, you killed Regulus. I found him, and now I'm going to take him home.
What, my child, Regulus, is dead? The old lady suddenly turned pale and showed a sad expression. Every portrait in the wizarding world has its own incomplete consciousness after being drawn, and many are slowly instilled by these portrait prototypes. This portrait of Sirius' mother should have been drawn before she died. In addition to a set of pure blood concepts, the rest is dissatisfaction with the eldest son Sirius and the nostalgia for the missing younger son. So upon hearing the news of Regulus' death, the portrait immediately expressed sadness.
Yeah, it's all about you, my good mother. You killed him to send him to death. After speaking, Sirius pulled back the curtain forcefully, but at this time the woman in the portrait did not roar as usual, but stayed silent. Sitting there dumbfounded.
In silence, the four and a house-elf walked out of the mansion. After that, Kreacher took them to a large cave one by one. After releasing a lantern grass and holding it up in his hand, Ryan could see a pool of water at one end of the cave. A stone step extends up from the water. The surrounding air was quiet and cold, with a smell of sea fish. On behalf of this place should be by the sea.
This is it. Kreacher said in a low voice. The door that needs blood is right in front, but unfortunately there is a strange magic inside. Kreacher's Apparition can't accurately locate the space inside, so it can only come out from there, but can't go in from the outside. Kreacher does not have The way to complete the master's order- He then knocked his head on the stone ground. Fortunately, Sirius stopped him.
That's enough, so stop. He walked over to the wall Kreacher pointed out and pointed his wand at the rock in that place. Suddenly, the outline of an arch appeared there, emitting a dazzling white light, as if there was a strong light shining behind the crack. It should be here.
After he finished speaking, he took out the wizard blood he had bought before and poured it on the outline of the arch. Perhaps Sirius was pushing a little harder, and the entire rock surface was covered in shiny, dark red beads of blood.
After the rock wall absorbed the blood, the outline of the arch did not disappear as before. The blood-splattered rock in the arch disappeared suddenly, revealing a doorway that seemed to be endless darkness.
Go ahead! Sirius raised the lantern grass that Ryan gave him earlier in one hand, and took the lead in with his wand in the other. The others also followed him in the same posture, keeping vigilance. Only Ryan didn't hold a wand, but he held a thick stack of yellow paper talismans in his hand.
Under the illumination of the light source in their hands, they saw a very strange scene in front of them: they were standing on the shore of a large black lake. The cave they were in was so high that they couldn't see the top of the cave when they looked up. In the distance, like in the middle of the lake, a dim, green light flickered, reflected in the dead lake below.
What's even more sinister is that, except for the light source in their hands and the green light in the distance, there is complete darkness that cannot be dissolved. Even the lantern grass, which is specially used to break the darkness, can't shine very far. This means that the darkness here is likely to come from some kind of magic rather than the product of nature.
Let's go forward, Sirius said softly, be careful not to step into the water. Get a little closer, and let Ryan walk in the middle.
After adjusting their formation, they stepped on the narrow rocks by the lake and started to walk around the lake shore. Finally came to a shore. This shore is no different from anywhere else, it's just as dark and cold. However, Kreacher still recognized it, and under his guidance, several people dragged out the boat that Voldemort was hiding here.
We have to get to the island, where Regulus was dragged into the water. It's easier to find there. Not to mention that the lake here is too narrow for us to use. But this Only one wizard is allowed to cross the lake, what shall we do? Lupin asked.
Just let me go. Sirius said impulsively, but was stopped by Ryan.
It's better for us to act collectively. After all, this place is too weird, and it's not a good idea to act separately. Ryan stood on the side of the boat and made a few gestures, looking at the runes that appeared on the boat and said, And I There is a way to get us all over.
Ryan explained after the phrase grabbed everyone's attention. I checked the ship just now, and found that the above restrictions are not based on weight or soul, but on magic power. That is to say, the designer of this mechanism only limited the magic power equivalent of an adult wizard to pass through. his lake.
Having said this, Ryan smiled: And I just have a way to block the magic power of the wizard. After speaking, he took out a few bracelets with a rune stone hanging from him, Just bring it.
Except for Sirius, several people wore bracelets. Then squeezed onto the boat in an Indian way of transport. After everyone was on board, the boat set off immediately. Everything was automated, and there seemed to be an invisible rope pulling it towards the green light in the middle of the lake.
The lake is calm and the water is very clear. Slowly approaching the island, corpses began to appear on the bottom of the water. At first, there were a few scattered ones, but then more and more, and finally you could even see white marble-like corpses stacked on top of each other at the bottom of the lake.
Merlin, how many people did he kill? Mr. Weasley groaned when he saw the bodies.
After a few minutes, the boat lightly bumped into something and stopped. Under the light of the light in his hand, Ryan found that they had come to a smooth rocky island in the middle of the lake.
The island is actually composed of a whole piece of black rock, one or two hundred square meters, and the top is very flat. There is only a stone basin in the middle, and the green light comes from the potion inside.
Okay, let me set it up, it can be started when it's set up. Ryan said after a few people set foot on the island. Then he carved lines into the rocky ground with his dagger and filled them with a golden powder.
Ten minutes later, with the last stroke falling. The entire island turned into a large magic circle, and everyone present felt that the flow of vitality and light in the magic circle was incompatible with the surrounding environment.
At this time, Ryan took out seven or eight jars of Sunshine Crystals from his pocket and said to a few people next to him, When I activate the magic circle in a moment, you should evenly sprinkle the golden crystals in these jars into the surrounding water, and these Infernal corpses will become It will climb up by itself. After touching my magic circle, it will be refined directly.
After finishing speaking, Ryan distributed the yellow paper charm in his hand to Arthur and Lupin. But this magic circle has a limit. If there are a lot of corpses piled up, please throw this thing in a place where they are dense. This magic item can slow down and weaken them. The two took the paper charm and clicked. nod.
Ryan took out a few more paper charms and gave them to Sirius and Kreacher. After you see Regulus, draw the paper charm in your hands and stick it on him, and then you can bring him in. Sirius and the others also nodded seriously.
Okay, start 3, 2, 1! After making all the preparations, Ryan activated the magic circle.
