483. Infiltrate Edin Castle
Scott stepped forward with a smile and reached out to grab one of Phoenix Fawkes's tail feathers.
"Let's go, Fawkes, to Edinburgh, Scotland." Dumbledore commanded.
As Fox chirped, Scott's eyes flickered, and a sense of weightlessness came.
In the blink of an eye, he was already standing on a street.
Then, as soon as his hands were empty, the phoenix was gone.
At night, the streets are sparsely populated, and no one seems to notice their sudden appearance.
Looking up at the street sign on the side, Scott saw that this was Princes Street.
On one side of the street, across a park, is Edinburgh built on extinct volcanic rock.
Scott asked Dumbledore, "Professor, how do we get in?" ”
"Come with me." Dumbledore turned and walked towards the park.
Scott hurriedly followed, walking beside him.
"Professor, will Medea find out if we enter the castle like this?" He asked, "Will she have a direct transfer?" ”
Dumbledore said, "This is the Slytherin lady's chosen hiding place, and she did set it up a lot when she occupied it. ”
"That said, she didn't just occupy the castle to sacrifice Voldemort's Horcruxes," Scott said. ”
Dumbledore nodded.
"But that's okay." He smiled slightly, "I think I've figured out all of her setups." ”
"Thank you so much, Professor." Scott was relieved.
At this moment, Dumbledore stopped and looked up at the castle that towered over the hill.
Then he turned to look at Scott.
"I'm not going to hide my identity this time, but you'll have to disguise yourself, because Miss Slytherin doesn't know the prophecy yet."
As he spoke, he pulled out a bottle of Polyjuice Potion and handed it to Scott.
"Drink it."
Scott took the potion bottle, opened it, and poured it into his mouth.
Soon, he felt his body being pulled and deformed like plasticine, and he had grown a lot taller.
Scott took out the [Magic Mirror] and took a picture, revealing that it was an unfamiliar face.
"Are you skilled in apparition?" Dumbledore asked.
He pointed to the turret at the edge of the castle above and disappeared before Scott's eyes.
Scott looked up and saw that Dumbledore was already standing on top of the turret.
He hurriedly used the phantom to shift as well.
"Looks like you're already going to be able to take the illusion shift exam directly."
When Scott showed up at the Fort, Dumbledore said happily.
"But this time, because I'm watching, it's better not to use this magic until you get your certificate."
"I see." Scott said yes.
As for whether it can be done or not, then we will talk about it then.
He looked around, "Which way are we going next?"
"Come with me."
Dumbledore smiled and stepped aside.
He didn't look nervous, like he was walking in his own garden.
Seeing this, Scott's mind also relaxed, and he followed him.
At the same time, he spread out his mana perception and expanded it to the fullest extent.
"Huh?"
Soon, he sensed a clue.
The magic of the castle was not consumed, as the Ministry of Magic had claimed, but hidden.
Instead of filling every corner of the building like Hogwarts, it is large and surging, but it is very subtle and restrained, like imperceptible spider silk, arranged in key places in the castle.
If it weren't for his keen perception, he wouldn't be able to detect it easily.
"Looks like you're aware of it." Dumbledore laughed and said, "Then you won't have to guide you forward."
Scott laughed too, "Yes, Professor, don't worry, I won't touch these invisible 'spider silks'. ”
"That's right, it's these 'spider silks', they don't appear during the day, and they don't get touched by creatures that don't have magical powers." Dumbledore said.
No wonder the crows laid out their "eyes" all the way and went undetected, Scott thought.
"Medea is like a spider, weaving cobwebs that cover the entire castle, and if these spider silks are touched, Medea should be able to sense them."
He looked around as he walked.
"But isn't there a little too little magic here? It shouldn't take much magic to arrange these 'spider silks'. ”
Dumbledore said, "My guess is that this is because the Slytherin lady did use up most of the magic in the castle. ”
In the case of deliberately avoiding the "spider silk", the two of them made their way unimpeded and soon came to the entrance of the dungeon.
In front of them was an old wooden door with an equally old iron lock hanging from it.
"Do you want to use a lockpicking charm?" Scott asked, "Will the use of magic be directly discovered......
As he spoke, Dumbledore took a key from his pocket and opened the wooden door in front of him.
“…… It turns out that you are ready. ”
Dumbledore didn't say where he got the key, and pushed open the wooden door.
"Oh......"
The sight inside the wooden door surprised Scott.
The narrow downward passage is criss-crossed, and it is all densely packed with spider silk.
"This ......"
It is impossible to pass without touching the spider silk as it did just now.
"When you get here, it seems that you can only break in." Dumbledore whispered.
"Let me try, Professor."
Scott crouched down, and a miniature Komodo dragon crawled out of his cuff and crawled through his hands to the ground.
"Go, Gorzan."
At his command, Gorzan descended slowly, sinking into the ground like a fall into the water.
Very good.
Scott was a little relieved.
If it's like Hogwarts Castle, where every brick and tile has a lot of magic, it won't be easy.
Following the connection with Gorzan, Scott quickly sensed that it had escaped the blockade of the "spider silk" and entered the interior of the dungeon by making its way through the land.
Scott pulled out the [Magic Mirror] again and clicked on it, looking at the surveillance footage in the dungeon.
The picture is still very dark, and only the outline of the object can be faintly discernible.
Narrow passages, dense hammocks, and single rooms separated by iron fences, are full of horror atmosphere.
After a while, Gorzan had finally crawled into the depths of the dungeon.
The moonlight shining through the narrow patio could barely see a small area around it.
"Is this the Chamber of Secrets, Professor?" Scott asked.
"Yes, this is it."
Dumbledore also looked at the image of the [Magic Mirror] in his hand.
"But there's not a single door here."
Scott looked closely at the mirror, the rough stone wall that was blurred into shape.
"Oh, the Chamber of Secrets doesn't have to really have a door." Dumbledore said with a smile.
Next, Scott asks Gorzan to try to break through that wall.
But as Dumbledore said before, Medea's Chamber of Secrets is not something that can be easily breached.
Both the stone wall itself and the ground in front of the stone wall successfully blocked Gorzan's ability to travel underground.
"Looks like your critter didn't do much."
Dumbledore said with a smile.
He took two steps forward, drew his wand, and touched the "spider silk" in the passage with a spell.
As soon as Scott took two steps with him, the tiny "spider silk" suddenly turned red, from invisible to visible to the naked eye.
Immediately after, those "spider silks" moved, attacking the two of them with teeth and claws.
Dumbledore calmly waved his wand, and a huge spherical iron armor spell appeared that enveloped both of them at the same time, blocking all the red "spider silk" from the magic barrier.
"Let's go."
Dumbledore quickened his pace.
At the same time, the spherical iron armor spell also moved with him.
Scott hurriedly followed him.
The red "spider silk" continued to surge and increase, but it was never able to break through Dumbledore's magical barrier from any angle.
With that, the two of them hurried through the narrow corridors of the dungeon to the stone wall.
At this time, those originally small "spider silks" had been intertwined one by one, turning into thick whips, and struck them fiercely.
Bang, bang, bang......
The crisp thrust sounded constantly.
Although the force of each blow is not terrible, there are too many of them.
Dumbledore didn't bother with the attacks.
He stood steadily, not even looking back, just carefully examining the stone wall in front of him.
Scott was no longer nervous, and also used his magical perception to probe the stone wall.
"The magic in the whole castle is alive."
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the wall.
"Especially this wall, the magic inside seems to have some kind of special structure."
Dumbledore said, "It represents the sealed Chamber of Secrets, and it is not possible to open it by skill, only by brute force." ”
With that, he began to back away.
Scott bent down to pick up Gorzan and followed him closely, afraid of being left behind in the magical barrier.
At the same time, he glanced back and saw that the whips formed by the entanglement of the "spider silk" were still attacking, but the magic barrier seemed to be indestructible, showing no signs of damage.
After getting farther away, Dumbledore decisively waved his wand.
The crimson spell was like a twisting lightning bolt, instantly striking the stone wall, endlessly, completely illuminating the surrounding environment.
After a while, Dumbledore's spell continued to attack, but the stone wall seemed to be overwhelmed, and a few subtle cracks began to appear.
Scott also waved his wand and added a fire.
"Deprimo!"
When his attack was added, the cracks in the stone wall grew a little faster.
Are we destroying cultural relics and ancient buildings?
Scott suddenly got a little distracted.
If you are caught by the Muggle administrators of the castle, maybe you will go to jail?
At that moment, Medea's voice rang out from behind them.
"Dumbledore?"
Both Scott and Dumbledore turned their heads.
The red "spider silk" had spread out again, intertwining and intertwining in the air, quickly forming an ethereal human form.
Probably Medea's appearance.
"Mr. Headmaster, and this strange gentleman."
Medea's ethereal body floated, looking at the two of them condescendingly.
"I don't think we have a reason to attack each other, gentlemen." She said, "Or rather, give me a reason why you're coming to me for trouble." ”
Neither Scott nor Dumbledore stopped attacking, and the light of the spell still flickered.
"I'm sorry, Miss Slytherin." Dumbledore politely said, "I'd like to ask you to sleep a little longer." ”
"Reason!" Medea seems to be in some mood swings.
"You want to gain power by sacrificing Voldemort's soul, but we don't think it's a good thing."
Dumbledore said calmly.
"Until Voldemort is completely defeated, please continue to sleep like this."
"I see." Medea was clearly holding back her anger, "You are afraid that I will be completely revived and given great power!" ”
"So to speak." Dumbledore nodded in acknowledgement.
Medea sarcastically said, "The greatest sorcerer of this century is no more than this!" ”
Dumbledore smiled slightly, "You're too much of a prize, I'm just a bad old man who is dying." ”
That's when ......
Click, click......
The stone wall shattered louder and louder, and began to fall rubble.
Meanwhile......
Knock, knock, knock......
Heavy footsteps sounded.
To Scott's ears, it seemed to be the sound of metal colliding with floor tiles.
"Stop them!"
Medea commanded, and the "spider silk" that made up her body dispersed, and several figures in iron armor and weapons approached.
Scott stopped attacking the stone wall and turned around and waved his wand.
"Fluorescent flickering."
Several spherical bodies of light rose up, completely illuminating the surroundings.
To his surprise, he discovered that they were all ancient armor and weapons on display at the Scottish National War Museum in the castle.
Medea, who was still in a "sleeping" state, didn't know how to make them move.
After seeing the true face of the "enemy", Scott breathed a sigh of relief.
There are also many of this armor Hogwarts, and they can also move, but they are not very powerful.
- Sorry, there is not enough time, and a small number of follow-up parts will be made up soon
Medea commanded, and the "spider silk" that made up her body dispersed, and several figures in iron armor and weapons approached.
Scott stopped attacking the stone wall and turned around and waved his wand.
