After the annihilation of the werewolves was over, Ryan and the others spent half a month staying in this glade to study this magical ruin. Through the excavation of a large number of puppets, an ancient and large-scale ancient city appeared in front of everyone.

During the time they were digging, the outside world also changed a lot. When the alchemy puppets sent the rescued hostages back to Hogsmeade Hospital and their own manor, they also brought the latest information from the outside to Lane and them.

Voldemort's previous harassment of Hogwarts was indeed to contain Dumbledore, but to Ryan's surprise, in addition to Voldemort's ambush and Dumbledore's containment, he concentrated all the Death Eaters who could now be controlled to raid Azkaban Castle and even almost succeeded.

Fortunately, under Moody's command, the Azkaban defenders did not suffer much damage. The group of Death Eaters rushed from the top of the castle into the felon's prison at the top of the castle, triggering the magic circle that Ryan had set up earlier.

The magic array exploded after sensing the entry of a large number of unauthorized personnel, and everyone who was enveloped in this area at that time ate a strong soul shock. According to the letter from Sirius, who was fighting in Azkaban Kaban brought back by the alchemy golem, 80% of the felons in custody were killed instantly, and three Death Eaters were killed together because they were too close to react.

At the same time, those who survived were severely soul-damaged. This also forced them to evacuate from Azkaban Castle with all the people still alive and some of the corpses in an overwhelming situation.

In short, Voldemort's operation failed once again, and the losses were not insignificant. At the very least, the almost total annihilation of the werewolves was an irreparable loss for Voldemort, especially since at dawn the day after the attack, Ryan found almost all the backbone of the evil werewolves under Fenrir Greyback in a large pile of bombed, fragmented corpses.

The greatest effect of the near-total annihilation of the werewolves on Voldemort was that he could no longer threaten others by using the werewolves as an effective means of terror, which greatly reduced Voldemort's control over the territory he ruled. For example, the letter brought back by the puppet Lupin states that there are many more wizards who have recently fled to the north than before.

Of course, in addition to telling Ryan this information, Lupin's letter also expressed his gratitude to him in a large paragraph at the end. Because he was bitten by Fenrir Greyback that year, he experienced the first half of his life, and now Ryan and their success in killing Greyback in battle also made Lupin feel a matter of heart.

In addition to Sirius and Lupin's letters, they also received letters from other people during their time digging in the jungle. Greeting letters from Harry, Percy, Neville, the Weasley twins, and even Luna also brought a lot of fun to the tedious digging work, and reading them under the tent light and replying to friends became a rare pastime for them during this time.

After half a month of excavation, the outline of a city in the middle of a jungle was sorted out. Based on the archaeological maps they had made, they found that the city was large enough to accommodate 10,000 people, which is almost a miracle in Britain at the time, considering that the city was more than 1,000 years ago.

"Architectural remains from more than 1,400 to more than 1,500 years ago, to be exact. After using a mixture of science and magic to examine a large number of building components and even some of the excavated vessels, Hermione roughly deduced the age of the ruins.

"I think I'm sure this place is all about. "Ryan had just finished cleaning a terracotta bowl with only the lower half left, and judging from the remnants, this pottery bowl was smooth and hard, with a uniform color, and it should have belonged to the nobles. When the bowl is turned over, there is a notch on the bottom of the bowl with a word engraved in Latin: Camelot.

"Camelot, King Arthur's capital?" Hermione, who had read a lot of books, was immediately excited when she heard the word Ryan perform, "I always thought it was just a legend. ”

"How could it be a legend?" Ryan showed Hermione the bottom of the bowl. "Don't forget that Merlin really existed in the history recorded by wizards, and the Knight of Merlin was originally designed to commemorate wizards who helped ordinary people like Merlin, and it specifically states that King Arthur did exist in that era. ”

"And it gives us a direction for the next step of our investigation. Ryan said and pulled out a book from his space bag, then flipped to a certain page and pointed to Hermione word by word: "-Because King Arthur's father, King Uther, once carried out the wizarding massacre in the country, Camelot is a holy city that cannot be invaded by evil magic. ”

In other words, the inability to use magic in this land has something to do with the wizards who died here thousands of years ago. After listening to Ryan's reading, Hermione raised an eyebrow and said. "After all, legends can't be fabricated out of thin air. ”

"Yes, legends always leave a shadow of fact. Ryan closed the book and nodded. "And if it's about the soul, the power of death you have in your hands can play a big role in this situation. ”

Sure enough, in the following targeted searches, they easily excluded a lot of things that didn't make much sense. Finally, the focus of the search was placed on the clearing before.

The entire clearing has now been removed by the alchemy golems from the soil and lawn that the Death Eaters used to camouflage, leaving a ruined wall that was previously hidden beneath the ground. Due to the severe damage caused by various natural and man-made factors over a long period of time, the highest part of the remaining part of this ruin is only as high as one and a half people at most. However, the occasional remnants of the remaining fine reliefs and the remnants of paint in the corners of the reliefs all indicate the magnificence of the castle's former form.

"It's a pity that all the discoveries in this place can't be told to ordinary people. Hermione sighed after the whole thing was cleaned up. "Otherwise, the name of Camelot alone would be enough to make a splash around the world. ”

As she spoke, she used her wand to gently sweep away dust from a piece of earthy marble plaque buried beneath the wall, which showed a knight on a horse fighting an evil dragon. "This is marble from Syria, which was considered the best marble in ancient Roman times. And its presence here shows that international trade was much more prosperous more than it is known more than 1,000 years ago. ”

"Because outside researchers ignore wizards and magic. Ryan said, looking at the marble slab. "Let's not forget that a wizard can easily cross the Mediterranean to England in three days with dozens of tons of marble, and if it were done by someone who does not know magic, it would take at least 30 people and a month to accomplish this feat. ”

"You're right. Ryan nodded. "And even with the help of a wizard, these top-quality marbles from exotic lands are very precious. So I can be sure that we have now dug into the core of the castle. ”

With that, Ryan took Hermione's hand and summoned the Rose Lady. Soon, with the cooperation of the magic power of the two people, a pink light wrapped in a trace of red mist spread in all directions with them as the core.

"Found it. The two of them opened their eyes at the same time and said in unison, at this time, five or six meters in front of their right, a place with a diameter of three meters began to seep out a trace of gray mist.

"Looks like that's what we're looking for. Ryan and the others walked over, then bent down to look at the stone slab that was no different from the surroundings. "Hope to find something that surprises us in a moment. ”
