Chapter 483 The Broken Mechanism

When Sirius saw the revealing potion falling from the sky, he felt that his previous stereotyped knowledge was too one-sided.

He originally thought that Snape's testimony about the strange potion was outrageous enough, but compared to that report, a rain of visible potions was even more outrageous - he was just staying in Azkaban After a while, have all the professors become like this?

But seeing the calm expressions on Lupine and Moody's faces, he had no choice but to pretend to be silent and say nothing - if he had known that there was such a detection method, why would he bother to drag the gold coins and Dobby with him? House elves have been digging holes for so long on and off?

'Sure enough, it's not here...'

After controlling the rainwater to take shape, William looked at the surrounding environment unskillfully but absolutely professionally.

"No."

"No"

"Same here, no."

"It's the same here..."

The four people quickly summarized their opinions and confirmed that the hidden place was not in an area that was easy to find. Everyone was good at finding hidden mechanisms, and there was no way they could hide any problems.

Not to mention Sirius and Lupine, they uncovered all the secrets of Hogwarts Castle and even created the Marauder's Map. As for Moody, the number one person in the wizarding world who tracked down the traces, he was looking for As a result, half of Azkaban was locked up. As for William, although he was a little behind in actual combat training, he couldn't stand it. The adventure stories about finding treasures he had heard were all delivered by real people, and he belonged to the one with the most knowledge.

"On the cliff?"

William asked as he quickly walked to the edge of the cliff - the rain mixed with the revealing agent made the huge bare rock very wet, but he stood firmly on the edge of the cliff, facing downwards Stick your head out.

There are countless concave cracks on this stone. Judging from the marks on it, William feels that someone has walked by - hiding something here?

He shook his head in disappointment. This method is neither original nor evasive. If it weren't for the magic that can expel wizards to make up for the protection, it would be like being born to seduce people - I have something hidden here. , come and take a look!

"On the other side of the cliff?"

Seeing William standing there, Moody walked over on wooden legs and asked loudly.

"It seems so." William said as he directed the rope to tie up his arms. "I hope our opponents will not make such a clumsy mistake on the hidden ground of such a sophisticated mechanism. To be honest, there is a secret treasure hidden under the cliff. ——No one in Azkaban finds it strange anymore..."

"It shouldn't be like this - at least it should be semi-hidden on an island or a rock, with an environment like moonlight..."

Moody's wand tapped his pocket lightly, and a broomstick flew out. He sat firmly on it, and then flew downwards.

Not long after, William heard Moody's disappointed cry from below, "Right here, our opponent seems to...well, feels that the cliff is enough to block the peek at his hidden things..."

'It's so...'

William took a step forward, and the rope on his body quickly stuck and loosened on the cliff, leading him down quickly. After a while, he found the place Moody mentioned - it was a rather spacious crack. It appeared at the bottom of the cliff, not far from the giant pebbles, against the cliff.

“Natural cave…”

He couldn't help but complain - what do people who hide things think? Would an explorer be interested when encountering such a cave that might contain a cave or something else?

This is almost like someone proudly telling others that the secret hidden in a racing game has not been cracked for decades, just because no one knows how to drive a car backwards - as long as he is willing to take advantage of other people's fields, he will not It seems ridiculous to make such an inference.

William felt that the person who hid the things didn't even need to know about wizards looking for buried treasures. He only needed to listen to how the goblins of Gringotts collected treasures to know how powerful this method of hiding things was...

'Superb magic, poor design...'

William's point of view was quickly agreed by Lupine and Sirius who were driven down.

"Let's go, try not to scatter. Although the other party is bad, the power of magic is really terrifying..."

William waved his wand gently and touched the sea surface, and a huge ice floe immediately appeared between them and the crack.

When a group of them arrived at the location of the gap, a passage filled with seawater appeared in front of them.

"Okay, it seems I have to take back some of my accusations, but there are so many things wrong with it, and the cover-up at this time still feels like a cover-up..."

William pulled out his wand, cast a Bubble Charm on himself, and dove into the water.

Then came Lupine, Sirius and Moody, who was behind them. The four of them followed the water flow separated by William and easily dived into the innermost waterway by turning left and right.

"There's not even a maze of water."

Sirius got out of the water wetly and stood in a slightly dry place on the inside. "What's even more outrageous is that there are actually steps - is this for fear that we won't know that this place has been transformed?"

Lupine laughed - he felt that Sirius was a bit imitating William, quite similar to his behavior when he was a student, but considering Sirius's face issue, he said nothing as usual.

"Get ready, I want to set a fire to try - in theory, the wizard who has just crossed the water will be in a hurry to dry himself off, so there should be a trap for flames here. As long as we find the reserve of the trap, we This will give you a rough idea of ​​the level of our opponents.”

William looked around and reminded his three teammates - but this was obviously unnecessary, everyone was fully protected.

'With this configuration, I think we can even evacuate the bottom floor of Gringotts silently...'

Somehow, when William looked at his teammates, he remembered a joke often told in Azkaban. After he carefully checked and found no magic that affected the mind, he carefully created a flame out of thin air.

Testing on ignited items, testing on attracting magical creatures... After seven or eight testing methods, William had to admit that there seemed to be no magic against fire. He had to shake his head, slapped himself with his left hand, and froze all the water. , then deformed the ice cube and condensed it into a small ice ball, and threw it directly into the water where it came from.

"It's strange. I feel that the smell of black magic is getting stronger and stronger..."

Moody muttered and evaporated the water from his body.

"Normal wizards hide themselves so secretly. Black magic is also normal."

While waving his wand to assist Lupine in drying his clothes, Sirius looked around curiously, "I am more and more curious about who did it. He built such a spacious corridor in such a remote place. It feels like a pure person." Blood…"

"Maybe they are Death Eaters..."

William looked around. There was no obvious entrance, but he felt that it was hidden by magic.

He strode forward with Moody, and their eyes quickly converged on a point during a moment of searching - but here's the problem, William didn't recognize this dark magic.

This made him couldn't help but look up at Moody, and found that Moody's eyes were also questioning.

Sirius and Lupine soon joined in, but no one knew this.

The other three quickly started a discussion, while William took out a lot of messy things, notified them to take full protection and stay away, and started experimenting one by one.

"The dagger that separates the protection is useless..."

"The venom that corrodes the guardian magic...is useless..."

"The powder used to detect magic patterns...has failed..."

After using more than a dozen side tricks, he had no choice but to give up the trickery method and began to take out his wand to judge the type of possible curse on his own - this was a hard job.

"Opportunism won't work, Professor William."

Moody glanced at the things on the ground and smiled extremely happily. He took his wand and began to torture each other with the magical power that sealed the door.

"I found it, the curse that forces self-mutilation - it's quite unusual..."

Moody's magic eyes stared at the stone wall, "We need to injure ourselves and weaken part of our strength before we can enter... We still can't break through it by force..."

"This is easy to handle... I remember that the ingredients in my pocket were enough to make half a vampire bait. It is a powerful blood-imitation medicine..."

Turn on the fire and boil the potion. Fifteen minutes later, half a pot of dark potion was poured towards the hidden door under Moody's guidance.

But - no response.

What it wants is not blood, but the power of a wizard to harm himself.

"It's simply...unreasonable..."

William put away the crucible and his eyes became evil, "Professor Moody, where is the specific magic response center?"

The smile on Moody's face did not stop, but he still pointed out the location to William.

The next moment, a ball of fierce fire burned directly on the stone wall, and the flame quickly grew stronger. In the burning of the faint blue flame, the outline of an arch was completely revealed, but the door was firmly blocked.

William waved his wand, and the fierce fire wrapped directly around the door. A minute later, he extinguished the flame, and then waved his wand - the door, which had completely lost its protection, instantly transformed into a pool of liquid and spread flat on the ground. The flow moved to one side, and when the transformation spell was lifted, it had already left its position.

"The protective mechanisms that have not been linked together...really think I can't detect it?"

He glanced angrily at the stone wall that had revealed the entrance, updated the protection, and stepped in first.

Moody smiled and shook his head, checked the surroundings again, and then called the other two people to follow him - he knew very well why William couldn't help but use black magic to demolish it, because the current black magic here made people almost The suffocating aura was so strong that he felt his fighting spirit rising, not to mention William, a wizard who had been in Azkaban and was extremely disgusted by abnormal auras.

Not to mention, before coming here, everyone had made some speculations, and they had been using various words to deliberately distract from the speculations about the whereabouts of the missing persons. It was probably the darkest existence in the world, and everyone was under great pressure...

'Newcomers who have never been on the battlefield always need to be exposed. You have been very calm, but...'

With a bit of bad intentions, Moody slowed down a little and called Lupine and Sirius to go together.

——

"This is…"

William stood in front of a huge lake, and his breathing stopped involuntarily.

The lake in front of him was almost so wide that he could not see the edge at a glance, and the existence of the cave or cave that accommodated the lake was so high that he doubted whether it was tens or even hundreds of meters high.

He tried placing a few light balls for lighting, but they didn’t work. They couldn’t reach the top at all, and...

"That is…"

Just when he wanted to explore on a flying broomstick, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air - on the lake, that pale white...

He made a judgment instantly, and then looked at the lake in disbelief...

Come on, are you kidding...

Don't you mean, it's just a village...

He was somewhat unable to accept this fact - in the endless lake, pale floating objects could be seen everywhere. As a professor of self-defense, William knew very well what they were...

What dark wizards call consumables...the Inferi.

He thought that he had seen the horrors of the world in Azkaban. Occasionally, he could see wizards who couldn't hold on being dragged out and buried on Azkaban Island by dementors or light criminals. The prisoners' actions Whether it's abusing each other, or the occasional batter taking it out...

But after the nauseating feeling passed, he raised his head and looked at the lake - now there was no doubt that he had almost targeted the Dark Lord.

The reason why the Dark Lord is the Dark Lord is not because his black magic is the best in the world, but because he has truly done things that only the devil would do.

'The lake is full of inferi...'

'I really want to... burn this place clean with a strong fire...'

He looked at the lake - it was better to be burned clean by the fierce fire than to continue to be the butcher's puppet. He believed that those people would support his choice.

But it can't be done now... If Li Huo wants to burn this place, the information that the Dark Lord wants to hide will also be destroyed. Although that is necessary, before destroying it, William feels that he must figure out why he wants to establish What else is hidden in such a treasure land?

"sky!!!"

Lupine's scream came - William's ball of light combined with his keen senses allowed him to quickly understand what existed in the lake.

"Voldemort?"

Sirius walked quickly to William's side, looked at Yihu's pale face, couldn't help but ask, and then nodded to himself.

"Help me keep it safe..."

William did not answer Sirius, but took out several packages of precious materials from his pocket, and threw them into the lake without any distress. The next moment, his wand pointed directly at the lake, and a layer of lavender ice began to form rapidly. spread.

The lake is full of Inferi...the deterrent force is indeed powerful...

Unfortunately, there is more water in the lake. When enough natural media exists, William's magic can freeze the entire lake...

"Let's go..."

When the entire lake reflected a strange purple light, William said softly.

He took out a piece of chocolate from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth before standing up - this was the first time since he had the ability to deal with dementors that he felt uncomfortable and needed chocolate to improve his mood...

Now...it's time to see what's hidden under this cowardly and despicable trap...
