Chapter 625 Death, only Ten Centimeters Away From Him
The Black Apostles are very much looking forward to the return of the Dark Lord with their king.
But Gunter himself is less optimistic.
He was keenly aware that a lot of changes had taken place in the magical world before they entered Azkaban.
In layman's terms, it is - Sir, times have changed.
Those magicians have become much stronger, and the weirder they are, the stronger they are.
Gunter has secretly met several "old acquaintances" from back then. Those people have changed so much from before that if Gunter hadn't had amazing eyesight, he would have been unrecognizable.
Not only have their identities and appearances changed dramatically, but their strength has also become stronger.
In the past, Gunter could kill someone with just one spell, but now it would probably take ten spells, but he might not be able to kill him.
Azkaban is no different from other prisons. Everyone in it is full of talents. Going there is equivalent to going to study.
It was truly a small room for each person, and communication could only be achieved by shouting.
Dementors would visit me every now and then. Let alone further training, those who survived for a month were the strong ones.
Like Gunter and the surviving Black Apostles, they are the strongest among the strong.
Even if they are so strong, they are just hanging on.
They have been weakened and are now barely able to regain their strength. The external versions are constantly being updated, making it difficult for them to keep up.
Not only that, Gunter also felt an undercurrent surging in the magical world, and this undercurrent was a real undercurrent.
He always felt that there was something inexplicable in the magic world. What it was, he couldn't tell yet.
Time is needed for further investigation.
Gunter informed Xia Yanzhen of his discovery through Tiamat, hoping that he would be prepared and not be anxious.
Don't be like yourself and make mistakes such as "I have the advantage of 500 vs. 50" and "How to lose on the face of a flying dragon". When you are full of ambition, you will be pulled down and imprisoned in Azkaban.
Although Lord Munster Summer is a ruthless man who can destroy Azkaban.
But Gunter was also arrogant back then, and was eventually defeated.
Gunter doesn't want to make the same mistake again, and more importantly, if they go into Azkaban again, they will really die.
No, Azkaban is gone, and you will probably die if you fail this time.
Speaking of which, the news of Azkaban's destruction has not spread yet.
The Ministry of Magic must have known that Azkaban and those dementors were gone.
I guess I chose to hide it for the sake of stability.
It's impossible for ordinary magicians to go to Azkaban anyway.
As for whether the fact that the Black Apostle was not dead and successfully escaped has been discovered, it is difficult to say.
Azkaban is surrounded by a large amount of protective magic.
Magic stirs up chaos.
This makes it impossible to remotely monitor what happens here, let alone try to use magic to recreate "yesterday's scene."
Even if you see it and use magic to copy your memory, you may not be able to restore the whole picture.
There will be all kinds of magic turbulence and disturbance.
Theoretically, the Black Apostles' escape would not be discovered.
But it's just a theory.
Gunter felt that he had to be careful and steady.
After his last failure and years of torture, he became extremely cautious.
"Then let them go to the Forbidden Forest to investigate, and the time will be one month. If they don't gain anything after one month, we will look again." Xia Yanzhen said.
"good."
Tiamat left with Xia Yanzhen's orders.
Xia Yanzhen returned to Aier College and found Duke the next day.
He told Gunter the three locations he had specially found and asked them to investigate.
Magic is really ineffective against Xia Yan. It's inconvenient for him to go and find out on his own, so he can just let Duke do the errands.
I'd better do more research on magic potions.
He is quite talented in potions, and the potions he refines are also props and can be taken out of the mission world.
The raw materials are much cheaper than the finished potions.
Xia Yanzhen refined a lot of recovery potions and invisibility potions.
These two magic potions are relatively snake oil.
Take it out and sell it, and the market will be relatively broad.
Three days later.
"Duke is missing?"
Xia Yanzhen looked at Duke's younger brothers and asked.
Several boys shook their heads: "Someone saw him going to the dock, and then..."
They followed Duke to explore two locations, but found no trace of ancient magic. One location was a secret room created by a teacher who had been at Ayr College.
There was a bunch of messy stuff in there, and there was no gain.
In another place, some ancient gold coins were harvested, but nothing else.
Then, today, Duke and the others were supposed to explore the third location together.
Ayre College non-stop boat dock.
Ayre College is built next to a huge lake.
There are many underwater areas, such as some student dormitories and some common rooms underwater.
The walls of the common room are still made of glass, so you can see the underwater scene, and even water monsters can be seen occasionally.
Xia Yanzhen also walked around these common rooms and felt that with just a touch of his hand, the glass could shatter and the water would flood the room.
Yan Zhen has never been to Xia Shipyard, he only knows that it is a semi-abandoned place.
Usually there are not many students here, and it is not big. There are a few shabby boats parked there, and even wild mandarin ducks rarely appear here.
There are many legends about the dock.
Most of them are made up, but one thing is true.
Even students died at the shipyard.
The cause of death is unknown.
Legend has it that the dock was abandoned for this reason, but I heard that the specific reason is unknown.
Even if you ask Principal Merlin, you won't know.
Merlin would only answer——
Little did I know that when I was a student at Ayre College, the dock was of little use.
dismantle? If there is anything to dismantle, it won't matter if it is left there.
Do you know how much magic in the academy interacts with each other?
Not to mention the dock, even a brick may be an important foundation, and it will have consequences if it is stepped on.
Anyway, it doesn't matter where the dock is placed.
It will only have an impact if it is demolished, so why demolish it?
Students just don't get too close.
As for the accident at the shipyard... I'm sorry, Ayre Academy actually has a death indicator.
There is still a distance between the shipyard and the main body of Ayre Academy, and it takes about ten minutes to walk to get there.
Duke and his younger brothers originally made an appointment to check the dock today.
But Duke didn't come.
The boys searched everywhere but couldn't find Duke.
After inquiring, someone actually saw Duke going to the dock.
I don’t know why I went early.
Duke's younger brother was also smart. After getting the news, he didn't go to the dock to find anyone. Instead, he went to Xia Yanzhen to explain the situation.
"Maybe Duke is missing in the dock? Okay, I'll go take a look. You guys can take a look at these potions. When they are refined in an hour, put them away." Xia Yanzhen said.
There is a special alchemy table in the public alchemy room of his school, which was given to him by the Potions teacher.
After walking out of the medicine room, Xia Yanzhen followed the guide and came to the dock.
The floor of the dock is half stone slabs and half water. The ceiling is five meters high. Several old wooden boats are tied to small stone pillars.
There is nothing else but simple architecture that can be seen at a glance.
Xia Yan really couldn't see any clues.
"Call someone."
He did not act rashly and try to explore the secrets of the dock in a destructive way.
Instead, choose to call someone.
After all, Duke disappeared here. It would be bad if he smashed out Duke's body.
After leaving Aier Academy, Xia Yanzhen rushed to the Forbidden Forest.
The Forbidden Forest is extremely vast, and the outermost circle is actually a relatively safe place, and can even be considered a tourist destination.
Further inside, relatively speaking, in the inner area, some magicians would enter, as well as poachers and people from the Equality Association.
If the strength is strong enough, the danger is not great.
The depths of the Forbidden Forest that are truly dangerous and even powerful magicians are unwilling to set foot on easily are called the "Black Forest".
At this moment, Gunter, with twenty Black Apostles and Tiamat, was exploring a cemetery in the Black Forest area.
This cemetery was built for himself by Randolph, a magician recorded in history.
Randolph had a magic that no one knew and no one could learn.
Gunter suspected that it was the legendary ancient magic.
It's a pity that he just found the location of Randolph's cemetery and was defeated by Ted before he could remember to investigate.
Now I have the chance to investigate.
Randolph's cemetery is huge, and the various magical mechanisms in it are still functioning after hundreds of years.
There are also all kinds of weird magical creatures.
But after all, Gunter was the Demon King back then, with superior strength. He destroyed all magic mechanisms and magical creatures one by one.
A group of people broke into the main tomb chamber.
But as soon as they arrived at the main tomb, special space magic was activated, separating everyone.
Gunter was transferred to a huge maze.
"These boring guys."
Gunter snorted coldly, flicked his wand, and terrifying magic burst out, forming an explosive force that directly shattered the wall in front of him.
He has no interest in playing maze games here.
He blasted a way out, and ten minutes later, Gunter returned to the main tomb chamber and waved his wand.
He opened the panels of Randolph's coffin, and the mummy and skeleton floated out.
"No trace of ancient magic?"
Gunter frowned in dissatisfaction. This visit seemed to be in vain.
Apart from ancient magic, the other gains were of no use to Gunter.
Just when Gunter was about to find others and leave, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
He felt a different kind of breath rising from the coffin and wrapping around the lifted bones.
"Could it be that the indescribable aura in the magic world is the power of ancient magic?" Gunter put down the skeleton.
This different kind of aura was consistent with the extra aura he felt in the magic world.
The bones fell back into the coffin and began to vibrate.
Under Gunter's surprised gaze, the pile of tattered bones began to become fuller and turned into a complete human form.
A middle-aged man who looked exactly like the Randolph Gunter knew.
"Could ancient magic bring people back to life? No, he didn't come back to life."
Gunter immediately realized that his idea was wrong.
The Randolph in front of him only had a complete body and was not really alive.
There was no sparkle in his eyes, and he couldn't feel the vitality in his body. There was only a vague sense of strength.
Gunter soon saw that Randolph's body began to swell and twist.
It turned into a meat ball in just a few seconds.
Afterwards, there was a faint shaking feeling.
It seemed like the whole cemetery was shaking.
The flesh ball in front of him was twisting and changing crazily, turning into a human for a while and a beast for the next.
Gunter took two steps back, his expression becoming more solemn.
He clearly felt the pressure coming from his flesh balls.
"Even if I can kill this thing..." Gunter realized that he couldn't get away easily from what happened today.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Huge roars also continued to sound.
The gravel on the ground was beating.
"Just the breath caused such damage——" Gunter's heart became more and more solemn.
"boom!"
A huge hole suddenly appeared in the thick wall behind the meat ball.
The meat ball suddenly turned and turned into a long shape, whipping towards that direction.
The roaring sound filled the entire main tomb chamber.
In the next breath, the flesh and blood exploded and disintegrated.
A huge hole also appeared in the wall behind Gunter—most of it was blocked.
Gunter turned his head slightly, looked at some kind of cold object passing by, and swallowed.
Death was only ten centimeters away from him.
"Huh? What was that just now?"
Opposite Gunter, Xia Yanzhen let go of Qingyun.
