Chapter 147: William who dug his own pit and jumped by himself
Since it is necessary to weaken the visitor's strength, in Voldemort's understanding of the village tyrant, only fresh and delicious blood with magical power can be considered weakened.
William also had a countermeasure, and he brought with him small 'drinks' of various flavors.
civet blood with a French flavor; the runi snake blood of the Albanian forest system; Secret room-killing basilisk blood; Beauxbatons Love Pony Rune Horseblood ......
Etcetera...... Abound.
Look at how many homeless critters he has adopted for free over the years!
If there is a Scamander Cup Prize for the Protection of Fantastic Beasts, it will definitely be awarded to William.
This kind of great good person is simply teary-eyed!
However, this blood is valuable. He thought about it and chose the least valuable animal.
- Fried tail snails.
That's right, there are still five fried tail snails left, four males and one female, and they kill each other.
In order to protect his daughter's safety, Hagrid sent her to be placed in foster care with William.
It also has a name: Dog Leftovers.
The cheaper the name, the better the life. People in the wizarding world are also superstitious about this.
It's just that Hagrid didn't know that his daughter was sent to William...... He, a seemingly amiable uncle, stretched out his claws to her.
William first gave his daughter a strong sleeping pill, and after falling unconscious, he gave her a severe injection with a thick and hard needle.
It sounds a bit inappropriate, and the scene is indeed bloody.
Can it not be bloody...... He pumped a liter of blood, and his face turned white from the collapse of the tail snail.
Hagrid's 'daughter' thus became the subject of William's research. He was motivated to discover twelve uses for the blood of the snail.
(Dumbledore: You little, hinting at me again!) )
Now William has found a use, and that is - to open doors.
He took a bag of green blood out of the safety sheet and threw it on the wall.
The surface of the rock was suddenly sprinkled with shiny, green beads of blood.
A dazzling white outline of an arch appeared on the wall of the cave, and the rock stuck outside the arch suddenly disappeared, revealing a black doorway.
"Let's go." Dumbledore took his wand and walked in first.
Fox burst into flames and flew in mid-air, serving as a searchlight for everyone.
That is, the death squad in William's eyes.
During the war years, Fox was a small sapper who was at the forefront and used to clear mines.
It's born to do the job.
After approaching the cave, several people found a large black lake, the surface of which was incomparably wide and endless.
In the distance, in the middle of the lake, a hazy, green light shimmered, reflected in the dead silence below.
"There's something in the water." William observed for a moment and reminded. "Don't touch the water."
Hermione snorted, grasped her wand, and cautiously followed behind William.
The three of them walked around the shore of the lake, their footsteps, stepping on the narrow rocks by the lake, echoing one after another.
The structure of the entire cave is simple, except for the rough cave walls, except for the endless and smooth black surface of the lake, and the mysterious green light that flashes in the center of the lake.
Nothing else.
Apparently, the Horcruxes were on an island in the middle of the lake, and they needed to cross the lake.
But the three of them went around and found no means of transportation to cross the lake.
You can't swim over, after all, there's something underwater.
"Did the apparitions manifest in the past?" Hermione asked in a low voice.
"I think Voldemort has prevented this, he doesn't want to see a wizard apparition come in." Dumbledore raised his wand and aimed it in mid-air.
"I can feel that there is an anti-apparition charm here."
William's wand waved, and a stone turned into a bird.
The bird flew towards the Black Lake and then quickly fell.
There was another loud explosion, and a big guy from Bai Sensen jumped up from the surface of the dark lake and grabbed the bird directly.
It disappeared again, splashing large deep ripples on the calm water.
"There's also a no-fly spell that prevents you from flying across the lake." William said softly.
Goose feathers can't float, like flowers sinking at the bottom...... Where is this black lake, it is clearly a quicksand river.
"What's that?" Hermione was startled, and she looked up into the distance, but the water was calm.
"Yin corpse." Dumbledore explained.
"Voldemort put a lot of corpses into the bottom of the lake. He is best at this kind of black magic, and during the Wizarding Wars, he even made an army of Yin Corpses. ”
"Wouldn't we be attacked if we had used a small boat?"
"That's right, those guys in the water will definitely do something to us."
William squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "There must be tools for crossing the lake around here." ”
Don't look at the Horcruxes hidden here, before Voldemort dies, he must come back occasionally to check the Horcruxes to prevent them from being stolen.
Then he himself needs to cross the river.
William's heart suddenly burst into a trance, and he felt as if he had neglected something.
It was a strange feeling, like intuition.
"Do you feel it? William? Dumbledore asked, narrowing his eyes.
"It's just a gut feeling...... Maybe I'm feeling wrong. William said slowly.
"You can't ignore your intuition, William." Dumbledore smiled softly, "That's data that is processed too quickly beyond the human brain's ability to comprehend, and sometimes it works better than any magic." ”
William snorted and said, "Then there should be an expulsion spell here...... It's kind of like a Muggle banishment that makes us overlook somewhere. ”
"That's right, that's right." Dumbledore was interested, "We might call it a wizard's expulsion charm. ”
"It's obviously another little magic invented by Voldemort, and it's effective and fun.
If we don't pay attention, we will ignore what is in front of us and thus miss it directly.
This round, I was able to give him an O's. ”
William felt the magic. Sorcerer's Expulsion Spell...... Amazing magic indeed.
This thing works better than any protective charm. If it weren't for a wizard with extremely skilled magic, he wouldn't have felt it at all.
Just as Muggles can't see the entrance to the Cauldron Bar, the Wizard's Expulsion Charm has a similar effect, but against the Wizard.
Coach, I'm going to learn this!
Sure enough, a trip here is really beneficial.
Dumbledore pressed against the rock face, "I think I've found the place we just overlooked. ”
The three of them walked towards a corner, Dumbledore's hand stroking not on the rock wall, but slowly swiping through the air.
It seems to want to find and hold something intangible.
"Found it!" He said. "Come here, you two."
William and Hermione walked over, also slowly groping. Then he touched a metal object and grabbed Hermione's hand so she could feel it too.
Immediately, in the eyes of the two of them, they could also see the iron chain floating in mid-air.
This is this thing that they just overlooked.
The chain was obviously in mid-air and was not hidden, but several people deliberately ignored it.
That's where the wizard's exorcism spell comes in.
Dumbledore lifted the chain and tapped it with the tip of his wand.
In the eyes of other wizards, he was like a void fighter.
Soon, the body of the green copper chain emerged from the depths of the lake and coiled up in a pile on the ground, making a loud echo.
At the end of the chain, there is a bronze ship. Like a ghost, the boat glowed green and floated toward the shore of the lake.
But the boat seemed small and could only seat one person.
And there were three of them.
"Can we sit down?" Hermione asked, "It seems like it can only seat one wizard, can it eat the weight of three people?" ”
"Hermione, Voldemort doesn't think about the weight, he only thinks about how much magical power there is, crossing his lake." Dumbledore shook his head.
"That is, the ship may have been enchanted and could only carry one wizard at a time." Hermione guessed.
"Nope." William pondered for a moment and said categorically, "This ship can seat at least two adult wizards. ”
"Hermione, don't forget Tom. In order to find the Horcruxes, he drank potions from the island...... That is, the Horcrux is underneath the potion. ”
"That's right, you're right!" Hermione's eyebrows raised, and she reacted immediately.
She said slowly: "Voldemort definitely won't drink potions, so if he wants to check the Horcruxes, he will bring a sacrifice and drink the potion." ”
"Yes." Dumbledore complimented, "You two are very observant.
I really haven't seen such a wonderful student in years. ”
Hermione couldn't help but grin, and said with a sad face, "But there are three of us." ”
"Hermione, Voldemort doesn't think you'll be counted, you're not an adult yet, and you have too little magic." Dumbledore said softly.
He would never have imagined that a fifteen-year-old girl would come to this place.
I think your magic is negligible compared to my magic and William's. ”
Hermione's magic is too little, but William's magic is already comparable to that of a normal adult wizard.
Fawkes's blessing added a lot of buffs to him. After a few years of growth, its own magic has increased significantly.
So, the three of them can definitely sit on it.
Dumbledore sat on the boat with William, and Hermione only had to sit on William's lap.
It can't be helped, and William is also very uncomfortable. But in order to destroy the Horcruxes, he always had to sacrifice.
But soon it was a slap in the face.
As soon as William jumped on the boat, the water was turbulent and tumbling, and the boat overturned directly.
When he was caught off guard and fell into the water, William suddenly remembered who he was...... He's got a zoo on him!
He was pitted by himself!
