Chapter 858: It's Not a Romantic Thing
With a soft thud, the boat crashed into the shore.
"This ship can't hold so many of us. Hermione looked down at the boat, it was indeed a very small boat, "It could only accommodate one person, and it couldn't hold the weight of so many of us." ”
"For the mystery man, who only thinks about how much magical power has crossed his lake, the boat may have been enchanted and can only take one wizard at a time. Allen's hand brushed over the ship, feeling the magic fluctuations on the ship, "The mysterious man himself needed a way to cross the lake smoothly in case he needed to check or remove his pendant, so as not to anger the guys he had created and placed in the lake. ”
Sirius, as an adult wizard and a member of the Order of the Phoenix, even if he knew how powerful Eren was, he was still habitually influenced by his appearance and regarded him as a junior, and this matter was originally a matter related to the Black family, he didn't plan to let Eren take the risk: "Listen, you guys are waiting here, I'll go over first, if they find out that we're not mysterious people, they'll want to pull us into the water, I'll try first, if it's okay, Eren will go over... Huh?"
Sirius realized that Hermione had carefully climbed onto the boat with Alan's support and sat inside.
"The mystery man who made this place must not have learned this trick at the time..."The hem of Allen's robe turned into a black mist, and then flew up, he did not sit on the boat but sat in the air, but this also made Hermione who stayed in the boat unable to sit comfortably, she could only crouch down, knees on Alan's back, tightly huddled together.
"Hey, what are we going to do?!" Sirius asked urgently.
"Wait, I'll come back and pick you up. Alan waved his hand at Sirius without looking back, and he watched as the boat carrying Hermione set off immediately, making a soft rustle through the water.
"It's driving autonomously. Hermione found that Alan was not driving the boat, and that the boat was heading towards the middle of the lake on its own, and soon the rock walls of the cave were out of sight, as if they were in the endless sea, but the waters were like a dead sea, without a single wave.
As the boat moved, the light of Hermione's wand shimmered on the dark water. The boat cut deep ripples across the glass-smooth surface of the lake, and Hermione poked her head out to look at the bottom of the water through the calm, waveless water, as she remembered seeing it.
She swapped her wand over Alan's back to the other, the light of the tip of the wand sweeping across a stretch of water, and a marble-white hand floating a few inches below the surface caught Hermione's eye, with a rotten watch on his wrist.
Hermione's body leaned forward slightly, and in the light of her wand, a few inches below the dark surface of the lake, lay several dead bodies on their backs, their eyes open as if they were covered with cobwebs, their hair and clothes swirling around their bodies like smoke, and they disappeared in the dark waters as the boat moved.
"Judging by the way you dress... The slain were Muggles, and their lives were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the mysterious man. Hermione angrily slapped the gang out of the boat gang and bit her lip with her white teeth, "Nobody takes them seriously, just like Bayer doesn't take ordinary wizards seriously..."
"Hermione, that's why we need to have more power, they don't take these people seriously, so no one cares about them, but if you have power and you take them seriously, then other people will naturally follow you and care about them... Just like we Sirius are not a bad guy and try to rebel against the Blake family's education, but he is still influenced by his family, the wizards inside our umbrella, do they really care about house-elves? But the last time I discussed it with you, it was not accurate, power is more important than power, especially for us in the wizarding world, if we compare the world to a chessboard, the chess player is the one who controls these powers, ordinary Muggles, ordinary wizards, these things that form the basis of the world are put on the chess game... Some of the powerful ones are chess pieces, but many more are not even chess pieces that can only be regarded as ashes on the chessboard, but the same is that if they are all conspicuous, they will only be blown away. ”
After a long silence, Hermione's tense face was softened by the sense of security brought by the squeezing of Allen's back and her legs, and there were rows of brand-new tooth marks on her lips, and she looked at the Mithril wand in her hand with the core of the dragon's heart tendon and nodded: "Alan, you're right..."
"It's a good thing that you've stepped up your personal training during this time, but there is not only black and white right and wrong and two extremes..."Allen, who was sitting in the bow of the boat, didn't look back, as if he had eyes on his back and saw Hermione staring at his wand, which was the easiest to cast powerful spells and the easiest to indulge in black magic in the core material, "What you need is to let yourself control your power and not let it control you, and that's how the mystery man became a mystery man... Knowledge and power should only be your ladder to a good purpose. ”
Then the boat gently hit something and stopped.
Collecting their thoughts, the two came to a smooth rocky island in the middle of the lake, and Alan floated to the shore to stand, allowing Hermione to hold her arm and gently jump from the boat to the shore.
It was a large flat black slab with nothing but a green light source that stood out. It came out of a stone basin that resembled a meditation basin with a pedestal underneath it.
After Hermione stood still, Alan, who withdrew his gaze from the stone basin, turned and waved his hand to the clearing next to him, and as Ellen's arm fell, two flames appeared in the air, and countless skulls that seemed to be screaming silently appeared after burning, and along with the flames, a tall arch made of skulls also appeared.
At the same time, the same situation occurred on the shore of the lake on Sirius's side, except that the same door appeared behind Sirius instead of in front of Sirius, which Eren had been aiming at, and in this space, the Otherworldly Gate was disturbed, and the position was a little off, but because the distance was very close, the position could be seen on both sides, so this visible error would not cause any accidental damage.
"Come here, Sirius. Sirius was startled by the sudden appearance of the Otherworldly Gate and the voice of Allen in the depths of his heart, as if he had been awakened from a dream and his eyes seemed to have just groped his way back from a distant place.
Sirius was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked back at the Otherworldly Gate on the black slab in the center of the lake, and exhaled a short and spasmodic breath, he strode into the Otherworldly Gate, followed by Kreacher, and as their figures disappeared and reappeared in the Otherworldly Gate on Eren's side, and the Otherworldly Gate on the lakeside also lost a trace.
"Alan, you bad boy! If you have this method to break through the restriction of the forbidden shapeshifting area, why didn't you use it in the first place?" Sirius, who had just come out of the portal, felt that this method was less dizzy than the illusion shifter, and when he saw Alan, he walked over quickly, his expression was a little angry, "If you want to row a boat with Hermione, you should also go to the Black Lake! It's not romantic to take a girl to squeeze a boat on the lake full of corpses!"
Originally, I didn't realize that Alan was a jack-of-all-trades on purpose, and at this time, she didn't care about those powers and powers and other things, and her face turned red.
