Chapter 366: The Hero Comes Home
After the magic array activated, a bright, golden-red ring of fire rose from the island, even suppressing the green light in the stone basin. At the same time, Mr. Weasley and Lupin use their wands to direct the jars of sunlight crystallization to explode near the lake.
The crystals of sunlight in the bottle fell like raindrops, and when they fell into the lake, they immediately emitted light when they encountered the water. When an object touches the lake, it also activates the magic that is set up here. The surface of the lake stirred violently, and everywhere Bai Sensen's head and hands came out of the black water, and men, women, and children, all with sunken, visionless eyes, floated towards the island.
However, these Yin Corpses had been weakened by the sunlight crystals thrown into the water before, so as soon as they arrived on the island, the circle of fire formed by the magic array on the island immediately emitted black smoke from their bodies, which quickly turned into ashes. All the people on the island could see milky white souls slowly rising from the ashes, and their faces changed from hideous to serene. Finally, he bowed to Ryan and turned into a little golden light and dissipated.
With the help of Mr. Weasley and Lupin, even if some Yin Corpses gathered, they did not pose any threat to the magic circle itself. More than 20 minutes later, Sirius shouted violently. "I found it. With that, he and Kreacher rushed out, and in a moment the two of them rushed in with a corpse with a charm on their foreheads, one left and one right.
The corpse had black hair and looked somewhat like Sirius, though it was thinner and less handsome than Sirius. I think this should be Sirius's younger brother Regulus.
"Can I wipe out the Yin corpses here before leaving?" Ryan looked at the souls with a smile on their faces as they saluted him in the air. As a descendant of the Maoshan faction, he felt obligated to free these poor people.
"Of course, as long as you can hold on. Sirius said hoarsely as he hugged his brother, and Mr. Weasley next to him chimed in. "It is very dangerous to gather enough Yin corpses, and destroying them completely now is tantamount to successfully weakening the power of the mysterious man. So we'll help you do that. Lupin nodded firmly.
"Thank you. After saying that, Ryan continued to seriously operate the magic array to refine the waves of Yin Corpses, and the others were responsible for dealing with the guys who gathered in piles and were difficult to handle. Finally, after more than four hours of fighting, they cleared more than 5,000 corpses in the lake.
"We succeeded. After waiting for seven or eight minutes and no more corpses crawling ashore, several people raised their wands to probe the surroundings. After making sure that the bottom of the lake was clean, they all sat down, and after four hours of fighting, everyone felt extremely tired, both physically and mentally.
"By the way, what kind of magic are you using? Why haven't we ever seen one?" asked Mr. Weasley, gasping as he sat there.
"A magic from the East that works well against the undead or dark creatures. However, the effect on living people is much worse. Ryan's explanation made Mr. Weasley nod in understanding, because he had just accidentally touched the ring of fire and only felt a little hot, but he was not burned. As soon as he said this, he understood it immediately.
After resting for a few minutes, several people packed up their things and walked outside. Sirius refused help and carried his brother's corpse on his back. Everyone was quiet all the way, and only the low sobs of Kreacher could be heard.
With another vial of blood, the stone arch was opened and walked into the cave, and the four men were led back to 12 Grimmauld Place by Kreacher. When the door to the house was opened, all the gas lights in the hallway were lit up in an instant. The curtain covering Sirius's mother's portrait was opened, but this time the portrait did not scream or swear, but just looked at Sirius's body behind him and covered his mouth and wept bitterly. Immediately, all the portraits in the corridor began to cry.
"Are you back?is everything going well?" It was late at night, and the rest of the Weasleys had gone to sleep, leaving only Hermione with Mrs. Weasley there drinking coffee and waiting for a few people to return. After hearing the sound of the doorway, two people came out of the tea room on the first floor to greet them.
"All went well, we recovered the hero's body and destroyed thousands of corpses. It can be said that we have successfully completed our plan. Mr. Weasley hung his robe on the hanger and said to his wife.
As they spoke, Ryan joined Hermione and Lupin in helping Sirius place Regulus' body on a makeshift table, which Ryan then refined.
This belongs to Lane's professional category, and this was the master's ninth uncle's specialty back then, and Lane naturally learned a full set. As the incantation was pronounced, a trace of black gas emerged from Regulus's body and vanished. The expression on the corpse's face softened, and finally, the soul that had been trapped in the body by the dark magic was liberated.
The soul floated in mid-air and looked at the people below and saw this scene. Kreacher burst into tears, and Sirius's tears streamed down his face.
"He's got something on his mind. Ryan said as he looked at the unwilling soul. "Bring that locket over quickly. ”
Kreacher quickly teleported to the second-floor living room, returning with the destroyed locket. After seeing the open locket, Regulus's soul finally smiled, and then disappeared in a golden light. At the same time, the frowning brow on the corpse's face before also relaxed, as if he was asleep.
That night, Ryan stayed up late and used alchemy, with the help of Hermione, to make a coffin from the furniture and silverware in the mansion and place Regulus. Later, as everyone went back to their rooms to sleep, Ryan saw Sirius and Kreacher sitting in front of the coffin whispering something to Regulus.
The next day, everyone buried Regulus together in the graveyard of the Black family. Dumbledore made a special trip to eulogize Regulus. After the funeral, Sirius asked everyone to leave first, and he was going to say a few words to the tombstone.
Half an hour later, Sirius returned with Kreacher. Kreacher wears the locket around his neck that had previously served as Voldemort's Horcruxes.
"I told him that now in order to defeat Voldemort, he could only be saddled with a Death Eater reputation for the time being. But one day I will let everyone know that my brother is a hero. Blake said loudly to everyone when he returned, and engraved the oath into his soul as well.
After this day passed, a lot changed in the mansion. The portrait of Sirius's mother no longer scolds, but at best rolls its eyes at those who don't look at it. Kreacher seemed to be much more energetic at once, and with his help, the progress of cleaning the room was greatly accelerated. In just one day, they cleaned 1/3 of the room. At the same time, a wall clock that likes to spray screws at people and a robe that tries to strangle everyone were repaired.
Hermione discovers a murderous ghoul in a bathroom, the opposite of the Weasleys' adorable ghoul. But just as the ghoul's claws were about to grab Hermione, the bayone's sword in Hermione's hand had already pierced the ghoul's brain.
"Well done. Ryan complimented Hermione's neat skills. However, Sirius, who was disinfecting the carpet on the other side, looked stunned: "Are the students taught by Hogwarts so good now?"
Hearing this, Ryan and Hermione looked at each other and smiled, and then went on to clean up the rooms. The biggest change in recent times is Sirius, who has been looking energetic and sunny since returning from the cemetery. According to him, he is not living alone now, and his future is not only to live himself, but also to fulfill his brother's wishes. So the days after that must be positive about each day.
As a result, he now devotes himself to the work of the Order of the Phoenix, deciding to avenge his brother by defeating Voldemort. At the same time, Regulus's dream of reviving the Black family was realized.
