Chapter 505: Scavenging dead bodies at the bottom of the lake (2 in 1 4,000 words)
......
At the same time, the boat was quietly moving on the lake, as if being pulled by an invisible rope, and slowly moved closer to the center of the lake without paddling.
No one dared to speak all the way, everyone was worried that they would disturb the corpses in the lake. The surroundings were dim and scary, and only a ray of green light could be seen flickering in the distance.
Sirius stood on the ship holding his wand high, illuminating the way forward.
Ivan next to was very interested in this small boat. Sitting on the bow of the boat slowly stroking the hull, the touch was wet and very slick.
Even with his current alchemy level, he can’t see how the ship works. Perhaps Voldemort didn’t use alchemy to make it, but instead used powerful magic power to enchant the ship to some extent.
While Ivan was studying, the speed of the boat suddenly became slower and slower.
"We are here!" Sirius said in a low voice.
Ivan looked ahead, and through the fog he found a smooth rocky island in the middle of the lake.
It seems to be about the size of a classroom, empty above it, only a base over one meter high is very conspicuous. On the base is a stone basin, and the green fluorescence is transmitted from the stone basin.
Ivan\'s figure flickered, but the boat under him slowly stopped.
Sirius took the lead and stepped onto the island, walking towards the stone basin in the center. Ivan thought about it, and quickly followed.
"Did Regulus drink this kind of thing?" Sirius murmured and asked. He looked at the stone basin, staring at the emerald green liquid glowing with phosphorescence.
You can tell that this thing is poisonous just by looking at it, and drinking it will never feel uncomfortable!
"Yes... Master Regulus ordered Kreacher to supervise him to drink up these potions..." The old house elf sobbed lowly, recalling the scene in his mind.
Sirius was silent for a while, his eyes fixed on another locket located in the basin. "Since Regulus took the Horcrux out, why did he make the same thing and put it back."
"Probably want to confuse Voldemort? Let him mistakenly think that his Horcrux still exists, so that Voldemort will not make more Horcruxes and die in a certain battle." Ivan combined the original time and space. Regulus analyzed the note left in the fake locket.
It\'s a pity that Regulus\'s plan fell through. Kreacher has no ability to destroy Voldemort\'s Horcrux. If he does not appear, the fake Horcrux placed here will pit Dumbledore.
Thinking of this, Ivan couldn\'t help but shook his head. Regulus used his life to arrange all this but accidentally pit his friendly army. The old professor was miserable enough. After so much torture, he got a Xibei goods. ..
Sirius took a deep look at the stone basin, without touching it, turned his head to look at the house elf who was still sobbing and said.
"Kreacher, take me to the place where Regulus was dragged down the lake."
Kreacher nodded fiercely, and walked towards the left side of the island with Sirius.
Ivan did not rush to follow, hesitated for a moment, and gently waved his magic wand. A slight fluorescence appeared on the floor of the stone basin base, which connected to each other into a line of words, and soon fell silent again.
He released a trigger-type magic there, as long as someone approaches the text, it will show up to remind those who come.
lest Dumbledore find here all the way after they leave.
Of course, it might be seen by Voldemort, and that would be interesting.
Ivan smiled and turned away without hesitation.
At this time, Sirius was squatting on the ground, with a serious expression, his left wrist was scratched, and a large amount of blood dripped on the ground, which was drawn into a strange pattern.
Ivan stood quietly watching this scene, not surprised.
Sirius told him before that there is a blood connection between his brothers, and he can use a kind of magic to strengthen this connection in a short time to locate Regulus.
But this is obviously a kind of black magic, and I don\'t know which book Sirius looks from. It seems to be quite restrictive, otherwise Sirius would not have to go to this island to complete the ritual.
After about two minutes, Sirius drew a pattern, pressed his right hand on it, and muttered an obscure spell.
The blood on the ground immediately reacted, climbing all the way along the palm of his hand as if he was alive, and gathered the same pattern on the back of Sirius\'s hand, which looked like a blood-colored tattoo, glowing red.
"Great, he\'s still here!" Sirius said excitedly, shaking his body.
The success of the magic proves that Regulus\' corpse is still there and well preserved. It has not been torn to pieces by the corpses and merged into the lake, otherwise it will not be sensed.
Sirius couldn\'t help feeling the excitement in Nai\'s heart. He imposed a head-foaming curse on himself, and then squeezed his wand and plunged into the black lake.
Ivan didn\'t even have time to stop, so he patted his forehead helplessly.
In his opinion, before going down to the lake, he must at least discuss the coping strategies for various crises, and then check if there are any problems with the lake... instead of going so rashly...
But at this time Kreacher had also jumped out of the lake. He was pulled too far and no one could be found, so Ivan had to follow along.
"It\'s cold!"
When he submerged in the lake, Ivan immediately felt something was wrong. It was summer, and the water in the Black Lake was as cold as winter.
and it was dark all around, and only vaguely saw something lying in front of him.
"Lumos~" Ivan waved the wand lightly, and a ray of light lit up from the top of the wand and spread out in all directions.
I was taken aback when he saw the surrounding Ivan clearly. The corpse in front of him was a corpse, to be precise, a male corpse with open eyes.
Ivan can clearly see the soaked and swollen face and the protruding eyes compared to ordinary people. Those eyes are staring at him.
Ivan almost launched an attack. Fortunately, he remembered that after drinking the potion, his physical characteristics were similar to that of a corpse. The opponent shouldn\'t attack him, otherwise he would have rushed over.
Thinking of this, Ivan felt more at ease. He tried to get closer, but the latter did not move, as if he was really dead.
Until he got close, the corpse didn\'t move, trembled, and then sank directly.
Ivan thought a little bit. It seems that Lupin was right. The corpse couldn\'t help but fear the heat and the light.
After confirming this, Ivan didn\'t pay attention to the other party, and tried to swim towards another dark spot in the black lake. The corpse could not use magic. This light must have been made by Sirius.
The closer, the more and more corpses around.
There are all kinds of corpses for men, women, old people, and children. Obviously, he was right before. Voldemort must have slaughtered a Muggle town, otherwise the British magical world would simply not have so many corpses.
And these corpses just float in the lake either scattered or densely, motionless.
Ivan was swimming forward while carefully watching the surrounding corpses. Sometimes he even had to push away some of the corpses in the way, or pass through several corpses.
I don’t know how long it took. When Ivan\'s hands and feet were a little numb, he finally saw Sirius.
He is not far ahead, and the mark on the back of his right hand is emitting a blood-red light, which means that Regulus\'s body is nearby.
But this kind of magic is obviously unable to locate accurately, so Sirius was forced to swim in front of the corpses one by one, checking their faces.
Ivan also helped to find, holding his wand and relying on the faint light, distinguishing every face where he could see.
While looking at them, Ivan found that all the corpses seemed to be staring at him and Sirius. The swollen faces and sunken eyes were very crippled.
He understood that it was because of the light curse that attracted the attention of these corpses, but their IQ was so low that they could not determine that they were alive, so they fell into such a downtime.
Ivan couldn\'t determine when these corpses would find something wrong, and then rushed forward, and it was impossible to stop releasing the curse of lighting, so he could only choose to speed up the action.
Before he came, Sirius had shown him a portrait of Regulus. If the opponent was not so disfigured by the lake, he would still be able to tell it.
"Master Regulus!"
Just as Ivan was recognizing it carefully, a faint, indistinct voice came into his ears. Ivan turned his head abruptly and looked over. It was Kreacher who made the sound.
This old house elf doesn\'t know what magic it uses. It can stay underwater for so long without using the bubble head curse, and can even speak with its mouth open.
But Ivan is not paying attention to this now, because Kreacher obviously discovered something, and swims forward with excitement at this moment.
Ivan followed without hesitation, and saw Kreacher hugging a corpse at the bottom of the lake from a distance.
It was a young male corpse lying quietly at the bottom of the lake, motionless, wearing a dark green robe, and a conspicuous black badge on his chest.
got closer to Ivan before he could see that it was Black’s family crest. It was made up of a shield with a five-pointed star and a dagger embedded in it, and there were two greyhounds standing next to it.
Based on this alone, Ivan can confirm that this is Regulus!
Although he found someone, he didn\'t have any happy mood. Sirius next to him was not happy at all, because Regulus, like the corpses, had his eyes open, staring at them, staring at the light!
Ivan suddenly understood that the scene they least wanted to see had happened. Regulus was converted into a corpse!
Sirius\' body was trembling slightly, whether it was angry or unbelievable, but fortunately, to the extent that he lost his mind without anger, he opened his mouth and wanted to let Kreacher loosen quickly.
It\'s just that they took a step slower. Regulus, who had been motionless like a corpse, suddenly moved after being hugged by Kreacher. The swollen white Sensen\'s hands clamped the neck of the house elf like iron tongs.
Kreacher patronized with excitement, completely unprepared for Regulus, even after being pinched, he didn\'t resist. Instead, he felt that this was Master Regulus\' punishment to him.
But in these decades, Regulus, who had been completely transformed into a corpse, didn\'t know what keeping hands was.
Kreacher was quickly pinched and rolled his eyes, and the magic that had been blessed on his body couldn\'t be sustained and collapsed, and a large amount of lake water poured in directly from his mouth and nose.
"PetrificusTotalus!" Seeing that the situation is critical, Sirius immediately suspended the release of the Light Curse, and then quickly waved his wand.
A white beam of light passed through the water and hit Regulus.
Regulus\'s originally white, soaked and swollen skin suddenly became gray, maintaining his original posture, and the movement of his hands stopped.
Ivan seized the opportunity to grab Kreacher~www.mtlnovel.com~ and rescued it from Regulus\'s hands, and promptly imposed a head-foaming spell on it to prevent it from being drowned.
However, the situation did not get better. Sirius’s attack on Regulus was like triggering a taboo. The dead corpses around him suddenly became agitated.
The few corpses that were very close to Sirius stretched out their hands and grabbed his clothes and arms. More corpses swam toward Ivan with hideous faces.
Ivan is very anxious. He understands that Sirius\'s magic attack on the corpse must be a certain limitation triggered, and now the corpses no longer regard them as the same kind.
"Sectumsempra..." Ivan waved his wand to cast a spell to save Sirius, but the latter shook his head at him, and the mouth under the bubble curse was saying something.
Close your eyes! Ivan read this word from Sirius\'s mouth, and he immediately reacted and closed his eyes.
The next moment, an extremely dazzling light shone from the top of Sirius’ wand, like a supernova shining in the dark universe, Ivan could feel how strong this light was when he closed his eyes.
The corpses that bound Sirius loosened him, and hundreds of corpses that had flowed toward them also fled in the opposite direction in fear.
After the light faded away, Ivan opened his eyes and found that apart from the petrified Regulus, there were no other corpses in sight.
Ivan couldn\'t help feeling that Sirius was reckless and reckless. After all, he was still a bit wise. He couldn\'t cast a flame curse under the water, but the greatly enhanced fluorescent flashing could also dispel the corpse.
