Chapter 153: On the Gobi Desert in Libya

"Bump!" Suddenly, there was a loud clatter of plates on the Gryffindor bench. Wait for Anthony to react.

Hermione left the auditorium angrily with a large pile of books in her hand.

"What's wrong with her?" Harry was startled, and then, looking at Anthony suspiciously...

"What do you want me to do? I don't know! Anthony shook his head and quickly plucked himself out.

He didn't do anything. Can you mess with her with a meal?

"Surely you're still mad at us for that Lockhart!" Ron shrugged, an expression I knew.

"Uh... Just for that old liar. Anthony pursed his lips, it seemed that he still underestimated the degree to which this kind of popular reading could be tempting to young wizards.

"Forget it, I'll go to the lounge first." With that, he slowly got up and walked quickly to the auditorium.

Anthony walked quickly and seemed in a hurry. And thousands of miles away in the Middle East, there is also a male wizard, who is also hurrying to the target location on the letter in his hand.

Wind and sand in the sky. Whirring. It is surrounded by the deserted Gobi Desert. The shabby robe of the wizard wailed in the wind, as if it was going to be torn apart in the next moment!

"Toot toot!" Suddenly, there was an electronic murmur in the wizard's ears. Waiting for a slight murmur, the voice slowly sounded: "Mr. Lupin, according to the marks on the satellite map, you should have arrived at the target location." ”

"Are you sure that's it?" Lupin covered the hood above his head with one hand and held the headset in his ear with the other.

To be honest, he didn't like the in-ear headset very much. It made his ears very uncomfortable.

"There's nothing but sand around here." Lupin looked around, and there was nothing on the barren Gobi except for a few broken stones and cacti.

"Sir! We don't know much about magic, and we can't get close to it, but don't you wizards be able to manipulate space? "On the other end of the headphones, I remembered a crisp female voice.

Listening to the voice, you knew it was a young girl.

"Okay!" Lupin frowned, he knew what the other party was referring to, wizards used to use the Infinite Stretch Charm!

But with such a large area, how could he find one—maybe a box or something?

Feel the Muggle banishment spell around you. Lu Ping took a deep breath and began to search carefully.

- This is already the fourth day of his arrival in the country. As for why he appeared here, it was naturally at Dumbledore's request.

It was supposed to be Sirius who had come here. However, his old friend had been in Azkaban for eleven years, and he had suffered enough.

Besides, that child, Jaime's son needed his godfather. So he pushed Sirius to go to Hogwarts as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and a few days earlier, at the request of Dumbledore, he had traveled to this faraway country to help the local British Muggle army.

Of course, helping the trouble is secondary, and his main purpose is to find out who is making the corpse in this poor country that has just fallen into the flames of war.

Dumbledore had understood since he received Mr. Huck's letter. Sometimes wizards get involved in the country's wars.

He didn't have the slightest doubt. Because it's so common, those dark wizards will always show up in those war-torn places, or mutilate Muggles to experiment with some kind of dark magic, or create chaos to get involved, and no one knows what those crazy guys will do.

Or maybe killing is a pleasure for them. Just like the Black Death hundreds of years ago. No wizard would dare to say that it must not be caused by a wizard!

After an hour of wandering around the Gobi, Lupin finally made a discovery on a sand dune. On the inconspicuous, shady side, there is a quicksand on the dune.

Like living water, it flows downward. He squinted for a moment, then noticed something strange.

The quicksand that flows downwards seems to be endless! You must know that the essence of quicksand is sand!

The sand at the top of the dunes is finite, and there will always be a time when it runs out. But this piece of quicksand has been flowing for a long time, and Lu Ping didn't feel that the sand under his feet was decreasing.

In this way, there is only one possibility. With this in mind, he slowly walked over, reached out and touched it, and sure enough, when his fingertips touched the sand, there was no obstruction or warmth of the sand—his hand went directly through the quicksand!

"Tricks?" Lupin underestimated it, and then fell silent, not surprisingly, it was the dark wizard's 'evil base'.

It can be dangerous to enter rashly on your own. Can... It was a rare plan. Maybe next time, he will change places!

After thinking about it for a while, Lupin decided to go down and have a look, as long as he was careful, he shouldn't be discovered!

— probably— At this point, Lupin had fully developed the 'good' qualities of a glorious Gryffindor, and instead of hesitating, he simply rolled over and jumped.

——

"Shock Stop!" In the air, Lupin casts a beautiful shock-absorbing spell on himself. Then it fell peacefully to the ground.

The height of the descent was slightly lower than he had imagined. Once he had gained his footing, Lupin began to look around.

It was an empty space underneath a yellow sandstone. The ceiling is covered with the same spell as the ceiling of Hogwarts Hall, all of which can shadow the sky outside.

Bring light to the space underneath.

"It's... It's like a warehouse. "Yes, the space down there is like a large Muggle warehouse.

Head inside. In front of me, it is divided into many separate spaces. Each 'warehouse' is enclosed by an iron door with a door number on it.

The first one Lupin encountered, with the number 10 written on it. Then go inward, the house numbers are 20, 30, 40, and so on, and the six gates go all the way up to 60.

Eventually, Lupin stopped at number 60. As he walked all the way, the more he moved forward, in addition to the change of numbers, the color of the house number was also changing, the red door number, the white number, the more stretched out, the more vivid the red of the house number.

By sixty, it was already glowing crimson.

"Alaho Cave Open!" Lupin, wand in hand, whispered a lock-picking spell to the doorway.

"Isn't it useless?" Seeing that the gate was not moving, he secretly screamed, 'Sure enough'. How could the Dark Wizard's 'storehouse' not be protected by magic!

The Lockpicking Charm can only open doors and windows that are not protected by magic. Immediately, Lupin changed his spell and said again: "The door is open!" "In

Before the "Alajo Cave Open", the most popular lockpicking spell was:

"The door is open". This spell can shatter the door lock. Originally, Lupin didn't plan to use this magic, because this one left traces of outsiders breaking in.

But now I can't take care of anything else!
