Chapter 727: Departure to Sicily
Evan said goodbye to the merfolk and returned to the castle and walked straight to Dumbledore's office. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The password of the monster at the door was still "cockroach pile", and when Evan entered, Dumbledore was already waiting for him!
"Good evening, Aven, do you have anything to tell me?" he asked calmly.
On the desk in front of him, a meditation basin was placed, and the milky liquid swirled slowly in it.
Before Evan arrived, he seemed to be combing through his memories, looking for clues to his past that had been overlooked.
"There's something about it, Professor, about Rowena Ravenclaw and the secret treasure key she left behind. Evan said, walking over and sitting down, "I found the remains of Ravenclaw in the mermaid village under the lake, it's a hassle to explain, can I borrow a meditation basin, it would be more convenient......"
"Absolutely!"
The whole communication process was unusually smooth, and using the meditation basin could more intuitively let Dumbledore know what Evan was going through.
Dumbledore had always supported Evan in his search for the secret treasures left behind by the school's four founders.
Especially in this situation, the secret treasure is related to Voldemort and the evil god, and Evan has received more support.
"Is Calybdisus the maelstrom?!" Dumbledore said softly, "I used to be there when I was younger. The wizarding world generally believes that the maelstrom is a gateway to another dimension. Of course, its strength is not as strong now as it was a thousand years ago, and the power that sustains this passage is waning, and it could disappear at any moment. The most intuitive manifestation of this is that people have not seen this vortex for many years, and its diameter is not as large as you see. ”
"The power is waning...... Evan continued, "Professor, have you ever been inside that maelstrom?"
"Yes, I've been inside, and inside are ruins from ancient times. Dumbledore said, "Like all relics of that era, it was protected by powerful magic, and it was impossible to enter it without the right way, and Gellert and I had great expectations for that trip to find something, but in reality we found nothing." But now that you've got Rowena Ravenclaw to guide you, I think you're going to find something when you get there......"
Gellert Grindelwald?!
Dumbledore was fascinated by power for a time in his youth, and he left his family and his sister Ariana aside to travel the world with Grindelwald in search of ancient ruins and powers, and plotted their business.
This business is to rule the world for the "greater good".
Sounds a lot like Voldemort, but if it weren't for the death of his sister that made Dumbledore repent, I don't know what the current situation would have become.
It's possible that the entire wizarding world is under the combined rule of Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
This is probably Dumbledore's dark history, and he never takes the initiative to talk about these past events.
It was the first time that Evan had heard Grindelwald's name from his lips, and Dumbledore told him about the trip and details about the Siren, the ancient ruins of the Maelstrom of Calybdis.
Perhaps because of the difference in time, or perhaps because of an illusion, Evan always felt that what Dumbledore saw in the vortex was not the same as the vast outline he saw in his memory, and that outline represented a greater horror......
After telling Evan something, Dumbledore agreed to let him follow Hagrid and Lady Maxime to Sicily.
Because of the tight schedule, they don't have to wait until the summer vacation and leave three days later.
Dumbledore was also ready to call Sirius back and have Sirius accompany them.
With Sirius by his side, things can be more secure.
Doing so would discourage Harry from leaving the Dursleys for the summer to live with Sirius.
He had to stay at his aunt's house for a while before his mother's protective magic could continue to work.
Just in case, Dumbledore also gave Evan the Cloak of Invisibility that he had found from Barty Crouch Jr.
There was only one truly capable cloak, the one in Harry's hand, one of the Deathly Hallows.
Barty Crouch Jr.'s travel cloak made of the fur of the Invisibility Beast with a powerful illusion charm on it, compared to Harry's original work, the invisibility effect of this invisibility cloak slowly weakens over time, and eventually loses its effect and manifests itself as a substance, and it is more restrictive.
Despite this, the Cloak of Invisibility is also extremely valuable, second only to legendary magic items.
Invisible beasts are not magical creatures that are easy to spot and hunt, and it can take years, if not decades, to find them alone. Not to mention, it would take the fur of many invisible beasts to make one of these invisibility cloaks, so the number of similar items in the wizarding world would definitely not exceed a hundred.
After more than an hour, Evan left Dumbledore with stealth and returned to the common room.
He told Harry, Ron, and Hermione about his departure for Sicily with Hagrid, Lady Maxime, and Sirius, and to his surprise, all three of them were taken aback.
They wanted to go with Aven, but no, the semester wasn't over yet, and they had to stay at school for their final exams.
After Dumbledore announced that the Triwizard Tournament had been cancelled, final exams were back on the agenda.
This caught all the students off guard and complained.
Fred and George even said that they believed it was the most catastrophic effect of Voldemort's resurrection.
Harry and Ron were okay, Hermione was there, and Evan had promised to take her with him on his next adventure.
Judging from the current situation, he had to break his promise again......
Hermione didn't say anything, and after knowing about it, she took the initiative to go to the library to help Evan find information near Sicily, which made Evan very unhappy. According to the plan, he plans to go to Egypt to watch the jade record during the summer vacation, and there is no danger in this process.
Evan was ready to invite Hermione to accompany her, if she and her parents agreed......
Three days passed in a flash, and soon it was time for them to leave, and Evan's belongings were all packed. He, Sirius, Hagrid, and Madame Maxime were going to go to Beauxbatons via Floo, and from there, they would take the Flying Carriage directly to Sicily, Italy.
Because they didn't want the outside world to know that they were connected to the giants, the whole process was kept secret.
