The reddish-brown light swept into the surrounding walls, instantly corroding the walls of the original intact like sulfuric acid with many holes, and according to the guidance of the portrait of the old man, Madison easily aimed the spell in the right direction, revealing the wooden table and parchment scrolls hidden behind the vision.

The old wizard in the portrait didn't lie to them, he was right, this is indeed a storeroom, but because I don't know how long it has been discarded, many of the parchment scrolls have been broken by the passage of time, and only a few parchment scrolls that seem to be particularly important should be protected by special magic and remain intact.

But these things didn't mean much to Madison, and it was obviously better to ask about the remaining portrait to find out what was going on here.

And even if you want to collect and study the parchment rolls on the wooden table, now is not a good time.

"Left. Right.. Left.. ”

Madison muttered under his mouth.

They still know the way, so many witches are together, it would be too stupid if they didn't remember this thing.

Without the illusion, the way forward immediately becomes easier than eating and drinking, and who can't walk according to the route.

In less than three minutes, Madison and a group of witches had left the storage room, obscured by a labyrinthine illusion.

Then they saw the portrait of an old man who was too bored from waiting, "You guys are so slow. He complained.

"Women are always slow, old fellow."

In the face of a portrait, Madison didn't have much of a good temper, she didn't say a word softly or hard, which immediately made the old man in the portrait lose his temper.

"Okay, okay." He muttered, "I still have a lot of time anyway, as long as you don't feel anxious." ”

There are still portraits hanging outside, although there are not as many as in the previous corridor, and it can already be noticed that the portraits here are extremely sparse, but it is enough to use the old man in the portrait as a springboard.

The old man jumped between the different portraits, stopping in front of a wall from time to time, and then telling the witches where the illusion was and where the exit was, and through his constant guidance and shuttle, the witches forced themselves out of a seemingly impossible route among the many illusions.

But I don't know if it's because the Magic Congress has been abandoned for too long, no one has come in for too long, and there is no one to communicate with the portrait of the old man, even if there is a threat from Madison, it has gradually shown its own mutuality after not long in advance.

From the origin of his surname, to the glorious history of his life, and finally to how he left his portrait, then the topic changed again, and it became the glorious history of his portraits for many years.

All in all, if it weren't for the fact that this guy was a portrait and an old man, Imogen and the others were very suspicious that the other party was soaking themselves and planned to pry one out of their witch sisters.

But even if this is not true, the fact that this guy was still young when he was alive and was not a portrait is probably no longer a master of picking up girls.

At first, Madison was annoyed by it, but as he took all the right paths, and from time to time revealed some secrets of the past, he nagged about it.

Madison wouldn't tolerate his nagging because he felt that this guy had been alone in Congress for an unknown number of years, and that he didn't have anyone to talk to, and he looked pitiful.

And I have to say that without this guy to lead the way, Madison and the others would never have been able to get out of this huge Congress.

The Magical Congress of America in the movie is just a glimpse of it, and it does not show all of its faces, but as the most important building in the entire wizarding world, the Magical Congress is obviously not ordinary.

It can be said that even with a simple Traceless Stretching Charm, the Magic Congress can distance most buildings several blocks away.

The Magical Congress of America is everything about the American wizarding world.

This is not only the office of the wizarding world, but also the history of the wizarding world.

Almost all the materials, documents, confidential medicine scrolls, copywriting, parchment, are stored here, and there are many other things, such as special or dangerous magical items, supervision of the wizarding world, crystal balls that store prophecies, and many other information that should not be known to ordinary wizards.

Of course, it may be a good idea to keep these precious things in the bank, but even the British Ministry of Magic does not fully trust Gringotts, and some very powerful and cherished things are still guarded by the wizards themselves.

It can be said that the Magical Congress of the United States, in addition to not being able to imprison prisoners, stores almost everything in the wizarding world.

Backups included.

In this way, a large enough space is a necessary element of existence.

The Traceless Stretch Spell is the most basic spell for building a magical state, and sometimes, just an ordinary floor, under the expansion of the Stretch Spell, it will become five or six floors, or even a dozen or twenty stories high.

Anyway, with many magic spells such as the Flying Charm as an aid, even if the difference is one hundred and eighty meters, it is not a problem for wizards.

They don't need to walk away at all, just a phantom manifestation will be in front of you in an instant.

Even as soon as you enter the halls of the Magical Congress, there are countless stretching charms built together, so that there is no real top above the Congress, and all the people who deal with the affairs are there.

Of course, there are not many people in the wizarding world, and there is no need for so many people to work, in fact, there are not many wizards who really do things, and the real number of them are those parchment scrolls that record everything in the wizarding world.

It's like a catastrophic amount of storage.

In fact, the Traceless Stretching Spell is not so easy to release, and you can use it whenever you want.

First, the amount of space that the Stretch Spell extends is directly related to the wizard who releases it, and secondly, what the Magic Congress needs is definitely a stable, and near-permanent stretch, rather than a spell that retracts every night and needs to be reextended the next day.

Finally, the caster of the Stretch Spell also needs to be proficient in architectural design.

The stretch spell is equivalent to stretching the space infinitely in one direction, but it will still be chaotic if it hits a stretch spell in the other direction.

Wizards must avoid this.

Fortunately, the Magic Congress is a large building, and it is also a building shared by the entire wizarding world, so it is still easy to find some really powerful wizards.

And it turns out that more than ten years after the establishment of the Magic Congress, or even nearly a hundred years later, there has been no problem with the building itself.

Even if there is, it is because of the blows from the outside world.

And now, this once magnificent magical building has been abandoned.

An abandoned magical building doesn't mean it's just destroyed, and then it's not that simple, like the Wizarding Congress, and now the biggest problem facing Madison and others is that these have created countless miracles and gorgeous stretching charms in the eyes of Muggles.

The building was abandoned, but the effect of the spell did not fade.

The effect of the stretch spell is still very stable, but due to the collapse of the magic building, there is a slight deviation.

As any wizard knows, even the slightest deviation from magic can have a worldly difference.

Not to mention a stretching spell on such a scale.

The deviation of the stretching spell directly turned the Magic Kingdom into a huge labyrinth of illusions, which I am afraid that the original builders and spell builders did not expect.

These illusions are in a variety of forms, and they are not at all the businesslike, serious and simple magical offices that were built at the beginning.

Led by the old wizard in the portrait, Madison and Imogen and others experience all kinds of strange visions.

For example, one moment I was wandering around the cold stone walls full of black iron, and the next moment I stepped into a garden full of sunlight and flowers, not only the warm sunlight hanging in the sky, but also the small animals that could be seen on the ground, and the breeze blowing in the air.

Then, with the guidance, the route turned again, and the castle garden behind them was instantly thrown out of a thousand meters away, and they were in a New York square where doves of peace were flying.

Because the Magic Congress is located in New York, many scenes overlap with the New York of the outside world, and because of the special bad taste and nostalgia of wizards, from time to time Madison and others can also encounter ancient castle forests, and even medieval basements and other scenes.

It's like a dream journey that spans countless centuries and countless countries.

But they all knew in their hearts that all this was fake, and everything around them was just an illusion.

And without the old man in the portrait as a guide, it would be absolutely difficult for them to get out of here, even if Madison had magic to break the illusion, but how much stretching charm had built Congress, and how much magic Madison had.

The Magical Congress of America is the brainchild of countless wizards, and Madison alone can't get out of here even if he uses up his magic.

Even if they desperately explode around, because there are too many stretching spells, they can't leave directly for a while, they will only activate more and more chain magic, and finally get into trouble.

Without guidance, they may not be able to get out.

But none of this is because of the ingenious trap that the Magic Congress left behind, but simply because the abandonment of the Magic Congress has left it in a state of chaos, and it has accidentally formed a huge cage.

Madison was suspicious that the so-called guy in the old wizard's mouth might be trapped here because of this.

But even if it is smooth sailing, there are almost no difficulties and dangers in following the guidance, and there is no end in sight, it is definitely not a good experience.

With a suspicious and poor personality like Madison, some of them have once again begun to doubt the wizarding old man in the portrait.

"How much longer?"

As they walked through a forest of sweets again, Madison finally couldn't help but wonder if he re-entered a Hogwarts-like auditorium and asked the portrait of an old man hanging on the wall.

"It's coming."

The old wizard in the portrait quickly responded, "I knew you would ask this question, but I didn't expect you to endure it for so long along the way, much longer than I expected." ”

The corners of Madison's mouth twitched.

"It didn't take long." The old wizard said, "Where we are now. In fact, it has already arrived near the central hall of the Congress. ”

"Of course, the elevator is not very useful, but I know a way that was originally supervised to transport magical creatures for identification, and it can lead directly to the safest middle level."

"That's where the Congressional dignitaries worked."

"You're too far away from entering Congress, and you're going farther and farther, otherwise you wouldn't have walked so long and then come back."

Madison and Imogen looked at each other.

They had no way of judging whether the old wizard's words were true or false, and they had followed each other all the way through blind trust, Madison's threats, and that they really couldn't have a better way.

Although Madison can use magic to temporarily melt illusions, and what exists after seeing illusions, they are not familiar with the Magic Congress at all, and none of them know what the inside of the Magic Congress is like, and even if they see the real situation, they can't tell one or the other.

Where they are, so be there.

Madison and Imogen both read the meaning from each other's eyes, and could only nod helplessly.

Well, it hasn't been long since this guy said it anyway, and whether it's true or false will be revealed soon.

At the same time, Madison also raised his vigilance, which is really natural, but if things change, the other party will definitely make a move soon, because the other party has already given time, and the longer it drags on, the more suspicious the witches will be.

The old portrait wizard seemed to see Madison's guard, but he didn't say anything, just sighed, and continued his chatter.

Madison had been keeping an eye on the wizard since he said that, so she naturally noticed the scene.

Frowning slightly, Madison felt that the old wizard's thinking seemed to be a little too rich, most of the portraits were not like this, they would only spend their days in a mess, repeating some boring, but most memorable things or actions in life.

And this state is often in the eyes of normal people, making these portraits more like a neurotic, and even wizards have the saying that they are mentally abnormal, but not so medical.

Only some powerful wizards in their lifetime will leave behind portraits with enough thinking and wisdom.

Because they are just a wisp of remnant soul that flows out of the portrait, they are already much stronger than others.

It doesn't need to be particularly strong, strong enough to be Dumbledore, in fact, as long as it is stronger than the average person, such as the previous headmasters of Hogwarts, the successive heads of pure-blood nobles.

In fact, most wizards are very active in their portrait thinking, because leaving a portrait of a wizard is not a cheap thing, and only a very small number of ordinary wizards, wild wizards, will have that kind of insensitive thinking.

For example, the ordinary portraits hanging at Hogwarts, some portraits of the gatekeepers, etc.

The old guy in this portrait is certainly not simple.
