Looking across the icy lake, countless miserable white human hands rowed across the boat, making the sound of dripping raindrops, Augustus sneered, this kind of thing is not as good as the undead of the necromancer's servant, this single pattern alone determines his ugliness.

"Dead corpses," Dumbledore's azure gaze swept across the lake, a smile on the corner of his mouth, "this creature that lives in the dark may seem a little intimidating, but Voldemort is wrong again, there is nothing to fear about the dark. But Voldemort didn't think so, he must have been secretly afraid of these two things. Once again, he exposed his lack of wisdom. When we face death and darkness, we are afraid of nothing but the unknown. ”

"If there is no darkness, how can there be light," Augustus's silver pupils showed a touch of profundity, "all the opposites in the world are contradictory and coexist, and existence is reasonable, and any so-called negative thing has its reason for survival." Positive and negative, but a process of integration and confrontation, this world, without any kind of color, will not be wonderful, complex and multifaceted, is the essence of the world. ”

Dumbledore looked at Augustus silently, without refuting or agreeing, just silently pondering. Obviously, Augustus's legendary way is much better than that of him and Voldemort, and it is a kind of magic that is inclusive of all rivers. On the road to legend, it is a great blessing to have such a person to stand side by side.

"It's coming." Thinking of this, Dumbledore said cheerfully.

Sure enough, the green light seemed to finally get bigger and brighter, and after a few minutes, the boat gently bumped into something and stopped.

The island was about the size of Dumbledore's office: a flat, black slab of stone that was empty except for the green light source. Now that I look closer, the green light is much brighter. In the middle of the island, there is a stone basin, in which the green liquid emits a dense light and mist.

Augustus walked slowly, followed by Dumbledore, and the two stood in front of the stone basin, their eyes calmly staring at the verdant liquid.

"Tsk, strange thing." Augustus touched his chin with a silver look in his eyes.

"Well," Dumbledore said, "it looks like something more dangerous than the previous two." ”

Dumbledore shook the sleeves of his robes that covered his black hand upwards, the tips of his fingers reaching for the surface.

Augustus also stretched out his hand and touched the liquid in the stone basin without hesitation.

Both of their hands were met with a clear resistance, and they conveniently stopped on the stone basin, and could not lean on it.

"Interesting, really funny." Augustus chuckled, shook his hand slightly, and lightly touched the resistance point above the stone basin. "Obviously, this is the quality of the liquid itself. It can't be touched, and it's not something enchanted. ”

"Yes, it does." Dumbledore nodded, "If it's just a magical enchantment, it's too simple. ”

Then, Dumbledore took out his wand and made some complex movements on the surface of the liquid, muttering something silently. There was no movement, just the light from the liquid seemed to be brighter.

Augustus also opened his eyes of inquiry, and wisps of complex numbers swept through his silver pupils.

"The parameters of this liquid are very strange, it cannot be touched, it cannot be dispersed, it cannot be deformed, it cannot be made to disappear, and it cannot be scooped up or poured out, it is really a very special substance." Augustus shook his head slightly, and said gently, "Voldemort really found a good container for liquid. ”

Dumbledore nodded, not speaking, apparently thinking about what to do.

Dumbledore seemed absent-minded and raised his wand again, spun it in the air, conjuring a tall crystal wine glass to grasp in his hand.

"I can only conclude that this liquid needs to be drunk."

"Well," Augustus clasped his hands, "that's all." ”

Dumbledore frowned slightly at the emerald green liquid, clearly struggling to think about something.

"There is no doubt about it," he concluded, "that this potion will definitely prevent me from obtaining the Horcrux. It would probably paralyze me, make me forget the purpose for which I came here, make me feel excruciating pain, unable to concentrate my thoughts, or otherwise incapacitate me. Of course, once that happens, the rest will be left to you, Mr. Augustus, and you must do your best to get me to drink it. ”

"Logically speaking, I should be obliged, but obviously," Gentleman Augustus laughed, "you don't need to drink it, Professor Dumbledore. ”

"There's no need to shirk it, I'm much older than you, whether it's young or magical, you have more value and space, so this kind of dangerous and uncontrollable thing is up to me." Dumbledore shook his head sternly and refused.

"Uh," Augustus waved his hand rather awkwardly, swiping his wand lightly through the air, and the next second, a dazed, dwarf-looking goblin appeared in place. "I mean, let it drink it for us."

"Huh? There is a magic enchantment on this island, how can you use the phantom to manifest. Dumbledore was surprised.

"It's a summoning magic," Augustus explained, "and theoretically it is possible to summon creatures from different planes in any dimension. ”

"What can I do for you?" The goblin bowed slightly to Augustus and asked respectfully.

Dumbledore looked curiously at the house-elf-like creature, which resembled both a goblin and a leprechaun, and touched his silver-white beard.

Augustus pointed to the green liquid in the stone basin and instructed the goblins standing beside him who bowed their heads and asked, "Just drink all of this." ”

The goblin nodded respectfully and walked over to the stone basin next to him, ready to pick up the stone basin, which was huge for his thin body, but after trying, the stone basin fixed to the pillar seemed to be completely unmoving.

Dumbledore politely handed the goblin the goblin, who took it, thanked him stiffly, and began to put the cup into the green liquid, and the next second, the crystal cup sank suddenly. The cup is full.
