Chapter 029: Yellow Spring
"I don't know what Manju Sawa does, but when the river turns again, I still take the opportunity to pick one, but as soon as it leaves its roots, it immediately turns into blood, and I grabbed a handful of yellow spring soil to keep the seven seeds."
Everyone immediately gasped, and Snape immediately took out a delicate small box and poured out the contents, and then carefully wrapped the bag of yellow spring clay, put it into the box very gently, closed the lid and cast a series of spells, before he breathed a sigh of relief, took out another box and carefully packed the contents that had just been poured out.
"How did you get it out of the underworld?" Hermione stared inquiringly at the small box containing Manju Sawa seeds, eager to open it and see what it was, but she also knew that if she was so reckless, she would only waste Catherine's hard work.
"I put it in the box that the Imi flower turned into, but—" Catherine rubbed her fingertips against her face in embarrassment, "The light of the candle caught the ghost's attention, and the blood of Manju Sahua soaked through the papyrus, and I fell into the river. ”
"What!" The Gryffindors all stood up with a scream, and the Slytherins, although still sitting, looked extremely nervous, and Megan was completely dumbfounded, only the old god Luna continued to ask, "Then why hasn't the river eaten away at your soul?" And how could the ghosts in the river let you go? ”
"Because—" Catherine's expression became more embarrassed, and it took her a long time to spat out the second half of her sentence, "the river is dry." ”
"How?" Percy couldn't help but ask.
Catherine did not answer immediately, but closed her eyes and recalled the scene.
When the papyrus boat is soaked in the blood of Manju Sahua. When the water of the Yellow Springs began to pour into the boat, and several ghostly hands were groping through the holes in the bottom of the boat, Catherine was really frightened, and countless legends about the Yellow Springs River flashed in her mind, and the endless wails sounded in her ears, until a ray of blood suddenly came out of her right palm, instantly enveloping her whole body, and at the same time completely destroying the papyrus boat under her feet.
With a "plop", Catherine fell into the river, and the miserable white ghosts swarmed in. She hurriedly hugged the box that Yimihua had turned into tightly with her left hand. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and spread out his palm, and a whirlpool instantly formed in the palm of his hand, and the black river water stirred, pulling those miserable white ghosts. The whirlpool is getting bigger and bigger. Start to drive the air. In the end, it was even accompanied by a dark and dull sky.
This tornado immediately attracted the attention of the entire underworld, and the main members of the underworld immediately rushed over, but they were helpless about it. Especially when they found out that the water level of the Yellow Spring had begun to drop, it even caused a panic, but this was immediately suppressed.
The order to do their duty and hold their post was immediately spread, and the idle people were driven away, and the guards set up a cordon around the neighborhood, and only the upper echelons of Hades remained at the place of the incident.
But this tornado ignored the wishes of the others, and continued to stir the heavens and the earth of the underworld until the heavens of the underworld began to shine.
Yes, shine, this is indeed very unbelievable to "people", the dungeon that has always been dark can actually shine, although it is not sunlight, but it is enough to make the members of the dungeon completely collapse, and they even think that the end has come.
The ghosts were all stupid, waiting to disappear, but they did not disappear, but slowly flew into the sky, which caused a sensation, and all the ghosts ran out, trying to rush into the light, but more often than not, they were involuntarily swept into the tornado.
The movement continued for several hours, until the Yellow Springs River dried up completely, and the tornado quickly shrank into a black bead on Catherine's right hand, which trembled violently and disappeared into her palm.
"Sucked up by a bead." Catherine opened her eyes and answered Percy's question, but Snape frowned slightly.
"Didn't you try to bring out such a magical bead?" Theodore couldn't help but ask.
"The whole riverbed was full of beads, especially the ones around me, each one the size of a fist, and it almost buried me."
"That's an exaggeration!"
"Come on! Up for grabs! One for each person! Catherine suddenly took out a yellow box and opened it, which was full of white beads the size of pigeon's eggs, "Except for this one, everything else is a gift from Anubis." The red-haired girl picked up the white bead on top, which was about the size of her fist, and pushed the box to the center of the table.
"What are they?" When Megan saw Luna pick one up, she couldn't help but pick up one and look at it.
"Soul Orb! Soul Crystallization! "Catherine held the bead in her hand as if it were a newborn baby," Anubis said, and if it was nurtured carefully, it would become a life. ”
"What?" Megan exclaimed in surprise and threw the bead in her hand into the sky, she hurriedly rushed over to catch it, but the soul bead still smashed into George's head and cracked.
"I didn't mean to!" Megan cried out and reached out to carefully remove the soul bead from George's head, "Are you alright?" ”
"Something doesn't seem to be my head!" George pointed to the soul bead in Megan's hand, the crack on its body was getting bigger and bigger, and finally it split in half, and it soared into the sky, hovering for a week, before flying down and landing on Megan's shoulder, and everyone could see that it was a white pigeon.
"This can't be a pigeon's egg, right?"
"It's obviously not." It was Neville who replied, who was touching the little white rabbit in Luna's hand in disbelief, "It's really a white rabbit!" ”
The others looked at each other, but in the end, they couldn't help but reach out and take a soul bead, but none of them moved, as if it was just an ordinary bead.
"They are always the simplest, the most intense, the most direct and the easiest to achieve, just like wishes." Catherine glanced at the five remaining beads in the box and pushed the box in front of Snape, "So find a chain to attach it!" Maybe it will come out one day. ”
Hearing Catherine say this, and seeing Megan and Luna's new pets and their intimacy, the others began to fumble in their pockets to see what they could hold. Snape reached for a soul orb, but only casually put it in his pocket.
Seeing Snape doing this, Catherine had no intention of interfering, she just took back the box, put the white beads in her hand, closed the lid and put away the box, and then asked: "Will you go to see the Temple of Lucasor or the Temple of Kapal tomorrow?" ”
"Kapal!" Hermione put down her soul bead, flipped out the itinerary and said, "Luxor has already been changed beyond recognition, and there is not much value to visit, we will leave tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, and when we take the spaceship to the Valley of the Kings after eating at noon, we can just look at it from the air." ”
The crowd nodded indifferently in agreement with Hermione's arrangement.
The fracture of Catherine's right hand didn't heal until the second week after the accident, after all, the forbidden spell on her body had been restored to its basic effect, so she couldn't get better with a spell like Harry did a year ago, but even after the potion effect was greatly reduced, it was still more effective than in the Muggle world, otherwise she would have to wait at least three months before she could use magic again.
But for the SG team, they would prefer Catherine's right hand to remain dangling, so that even if she has a whim, she will not be able to assign tasks in the address book.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.
So when Catherine started using magic with her right hand, she began to "toss" the six members of the SG team, such as asking Draco to get a bottle of water without spending money or magic, and having Ron talk to a stranger and get the person's phone number, all of which seemed ridiculous but targeted at each person's weaknesses.
Because in the face of unfamiliar things, any living thing will inevitably have negative emotions such as fear and nervousness, so only by trying bravely can we overcome the fear of the "unknown".
Therefore, the big families that really have the legacy, whether it is the Muggle world or the wizarding world, will do their best to arrange a simulated environment that can guarantee safety, so that future generations can have enough experience to deal with it before facing the cruelty of society alone.
It's just that the cost of a similar simulated environment is simply not affordable for ordinary families, and even Mr. Granger, who is a dentist, can't get Hermione to get a better workout, let alone the Weasleys who are struggling to make ends meet.
However, after all, the ancestors of the Weasley family had a glorious history, and naturally there are records of this aspect that have been handed down, so Arthur still has enough eyes to see Catherine's purpose, so he is happy to see it happen and even encourage other children to join the SG group.
And Theodore and Daphne have long seen the essence of the SG group, and only temporarily watched from the sidelines out of caution, but now that they know the ability of Catherine, the person in charge, they naturally can't let go of the opportunity to strengthen themselves.
As for Millicent, Crabbe, and Goyle, they were all too stupid to keep up with the others, so Catherine's advice to them was to stay away from danger, and they did it with self-awareness.
Neville was actually a little sluggish, but that was because his grandmother was too strict, and once the fear of disappointment from his elders disappeared, his good heritage as a descendant of the Longbottom family was fully revealed, which surprised Catherine.
But what Catherine couldn't figure out the most was the four youngest girls, each of whom had their own characteristics, completely different personalities and habits, and even sometimes had a lot of contradictions, but after the Emika incident, they became a small group.
Faced with this rare sight, Catherine thought for a long time about what to do, and finally decided to let them develop freely, only helping them when they needed it, such as promising to help them get a set of correspondence books for the four of them when they returned to school, so that the four of them could communicate independently, and if necessary, they could contact the members of the SG group.
Although the sudden mission was troublesome, frustrating and hard, the trip to Africa was exceptionally exciting.
After visiting Lucasso, the group headed to Aswan, and then continued south along the Nile River through the Great Rift Valley, admiring the African savannah and experiencing the indigenous ...... In short, it flew around the African continent and finally returned to Alexandria, Egypt, along the northern edge of the Sahara Desert. (To be continued......)
