Chapter 130: A Peculiar Prison
Hermione didn't have the energy to go with them, leaving her to take care of Thestrals. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the three of them walked along the path and soon found a group of wandering ghosts.
These ghosts don't know any foreign languages, so they have to let the cheongsam negotiate.
"Do you still have any money on you?" asked Phoenix seriously.
"Yes, you have no money. ”
"It seems to be gone. After saying that, the cheongsam came back and told them that one person was ten gold.
After paying, a ghost leads them to the prison.
The prison had no gates at all, and they didn't worry at all that inmates would run out, so they just walked straight through the gates. The passage is pitch black, with only a few points of light at the farthest point.
The ghost was talking a lot, and Phoenix could hear Chinese, but he probably spoke in dialects, and he probably judged that it was really about the history of the prison.
Through the paraphrasing of the cheongsam, they learned. Ghosts were the early wardens of the prison who knew the tricks and were free to enter and leave the prison. Later, the Ministry of Magic discovered that the prison labyrinth was extremely complex and that no one could ever get out. They became tour guides, and every day wizards from all over the world tried to find the center of the maze and win the grand prize.
At the same time, tell them that ten hours to find the center of the maze is more than enough, and if they find the trick, they can walk in half an hour.
"How do the prisoners eat?" Harry lit his wand, and the light only illuminated a small area.
The ghost replied that the stone tables by the braziers at each corner periodically appeared with food. The structure of the prison is similar to that of Hogwarts, with a kitchen underneath the prison.
Phoenix pays close attention to all sorts of details, and ghosts can pass through walls, but they can still take people on a 'walk' in the labyrinth during their lifetime, and there must be some signs or something to guide them.
From the outside, the prison is huge, definitely bigger than Hogwarts. The interior space is even more unimaginable. Even so, it is thought-provoking to be able to reach the end in half an hour.
The end must not be far from the exit.
Generally, there are two ways to walk the maze in Phoenix, one is to go through all the forks in the maze, follow one side of the wall, and you will definitely get to the exit or back to the entrance. The other is to blow up a road directly.
Neither approach is applicable at this time.
After walking for a while, they found that it was easy to leave people behind. The ghost kept reminding them that they didn't get separated.
"Damn, these roads don't look any different. Phoenix said disappointedly.
They walked to a brazier and sat down on the floor.
Phoenix could feel that there was no magic on the walls, floors, and ceilings - not at all, but the magic was to prevent anyone from forcibly destroying it, and in such low visibility, it seemed that only an unusually bright brazier could induce them.
"Any thoughts?"
Harry shook his head, he had used the Wizard Charm to find his way through the Triwizard Tournament, and if necessary, he had used his magic to open a passage to get out.
The cheongsam was indifferent to this, neither asking questions nor helping, but just following them. From time to time, the ghost stopped them from turning into some fork in the road deep into the labyrinth, lest it take them too much time to get out.
"I think we'd better go out. Harry wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's too draining. ”
"Cheongsam, do you encounter such a scene in the ancient tomb?" Phoenix held a wand in his mouth, and the tip of the wand continued to spew out water, down his chin and onto the ground.
"Yes, we can use any magic there. He was silent.
"That's good news. He got up and patted his ass and asked the ghost to take them out.
Surprisingly, the ghost led them back to the starting passage after only a few turns.
Phoenix looked back at the secluded deep passage with a sense of irony.
The labyrinth was invented by a European wizard to trap a half-human wizard. But this craft soon became culture, just culture, and people used to put a labyrinth on the lawn or hang a labyrinth mural on the wall. The labyrinth doesn't have much war value, and basically no one has studied it in depth.
At that time, wars were not as frequent as in Europe, and they were carried forward.
They went back and forth, but it was only an hour. The rest of the time, the cheongsam told them some common knowledge in the ancient tombs. Time was tight, he didn't go into details, only summarized a few points for them.
Pay attention to the situation around them, and many times, they will get into trouble before they know it. This trap is more common in the middle and is generally a hard trap in the front. That is, if the intruder's mana is strong enough, it can be forcibly destroyed.
The second half is dominated by coffins, books, and belongings, and it stands to reason that there will only be one or two particularly dangerous traps that will completely destroy the tomb after setting off. It is usually near the front of the library, which is where they are going. There he had no experience and could only take one step at a time.
"Finally, the route to leave. Cheongsam said.
"Can't you go back the way you came?" Phoenix frowned, wondering what else he had to plan to go back.
"Of course, but you won't want to go through it again. He shrugged, "There must be a secret passage in the main burial chamber, where ancient wizards - almost all regions of the world - believed to be from an alien planet. ”
Hermione said, "You mean, they're going to leave a 'path to their homeland' like the ancient Egyptians?"
The robe looked at Hermione in surprise.
"Yes, it is said that some of the ancient tombs that have been developed have this kind of passage, of course it is only an allegory. But it can make people quickly get out of the ancient tomb. ”
"From which planet?" said Phoenix, looking strange.
"Sirius," said the robe, disapprehantly, "is it strange that people living in different parts of the country are surprisingly consistent on this point, and perhaps we really got it from somewhere." ”
Phoenix can't deny this. Hermione took out books on planetary trajectories, planets, and divination and put them in her pocket. I saw that the pocket was full, and a copy of the "Asian Anti-Drug Book" had been revealed.
"Phoenix help me expand a little more. Hermione struggled to pull out a few books.
"So many books, you're sure they're useful. The caftan took a sip of wine, "Maybe there is a timer in the later levels, and if you can't open it within the time limit, you'll die." ”
"Just be a comfort in your heart, in case you need it. Phoenix said with a smile.
They set off again, flying in the darkness. The sky is full of stars overhead, and if you are not in a hurry, you really want to stop and admire it.
This time there is no clear location for their destination, and Phoenix takes out the conch and constantly corrects the direction of Thestrals. It sped through the dark night sky, almost never flapping its wings as it flew forward.
Soon Phoenix sensed something was wrong, and they flew in the wrong direction and began to deflect south. If you want to go to Xisha, you should go all the way west. The guidance of the conch is getting stronger and stronger, and they are getting closer and closer to the goal.
He pulled out a map of the world and judged by the location of the stars overhead that they were probably near the Mariana Islands. Once again, at a steep angle, Thestrals swooped downward.
An ice surface rises above the sea level, with a few vague shadows on it, carrying wind lamps to guide them.
