The Rise of the Muggles at Hogwarts

Chapter 216: Disease 2 occurs (5)

They walked slowly along a narrow gap with rocks all along the path. They talked and observed the surroundings, and soon came to a platform.

"Dead end?" Harry said doubtfully as he looked at the road surrounded by rock walls.

"Master, no." Kreacher said anxiously.

Ever since Anthony led it down the cliff, its whole body was radiant, and the joy on its face never stopped for a moment.He respected the two of them more and more.

"It's just a deception, Harry." Anthony raised his wand and knocked on the rock wall in front of him. He knew that this was the protective spell left by Voldemort.

Those who want to pass must weaken their own strength, that is, blood stained with magic power.

Although this kind of obstacle has no use other than making people pay some blood, he might as well find an iron gate to install here.Maybe that would be more useful.

"Only the wall can be opened by smearing blood with magic power. Tom set up this mechanism not only to conceal it, but also to make the entrants weaken themselves!" Anthony said with a sarcastic look on his face.

"I really don't understand why he would put things here - if our Dark Lord just found a hole to bury it, or threw the things directly into the sea instead of finding such a conspicuous cave. Who can find it?"

As he spoke, Anthony took out the box he had put in his pocket again. After opening the box, he took out a dark red glass bottle.

"What?" Harry asked.

"A small jar of Acromantula's blood, a relatively precious magic material. I have a lot - a lot!"

To be precise, he has as much information as a hill on Acromantula.

Including but not limited to, venom, blood, bones, claws, etc., these things are all magic materials, but the price is different.

Afterwards, he threw the bottle of glass directly on the wall in front of him, and with a "bang", the crisp sound of glass breaking echoed in this small hollow.

Blood splashed on the wall in an instant.

Then the wall suddenly looked like collapsed building blocks, pieces slowly falling away, and then a path appeared.

It was a cave entrance, and there was a faint darkness in front of it.

"The ultimate fluorescent sparkle."

A ball of light flew out from Anthony's wand and flew into the sky.It turned into a small sun, illuminating this area brightly.

Then Harry also took out his wand, the tip of the wand lit up with fluorescent light, and followed Anthony in.

After walking a few steps along a mountain road, my eyes suddenly opened up.

At this moment, they were standing on the shore of a huge black lake.

The lake is so wide that it stretches as far as the eye can see, and you can't even look up to see the other side.

"This is right here, Master Regulus is under this lake, oh! Poor Master, Kreacher is here to take you home, Kreacher is here to take you home!" Looking at the big black lake, Kreacher Suddenly it howled in pain and knelt on the ground, sobbing continuously.It felt like I wanted to cry out all the sadness I had felt over the past few decades.

"Uh-well, Anthony, this lake is so big! How can we find it?" Harry said with a headache as he looked at the unbreakable darkness in the distance.

"Don't worry! Harry, the location we are looking for is actually very specific."

Anthony looked around, his eyelids twitching slightly. The surrounding environment contained a lot of magic prohibitions in this area. The lake...

He looked at the calm lake, and heard the sound of weak water in Chinese mythology. The so-called feathers are not floating, and cannot be crossed. Except for the small boat prepared by Voldemort, no other magic can cross this large lake.

"There is a small island in the center of the lake, two young masters! That's where Master Regulus was... killed..." Kreacher continued to sob and said: "Master Regulus, what a kind boy , he sacrificed himself and let Kreacher escape alone."

"This lake is darkly enchanted, Harry. Look -" He pointed to the surface.

Harry then looked.

"Looking at the calmness of the lake, there is no ripple at all. This is obviously abnormal. I think the person who was killed will definitely stay where he was killed and will not move." Anthony has been studying the Inferi for a long time , he is very familiar with that kind of thing.

"But the trouble is how we get there."

As he spoke, he picked up a stone and threw it toward the lake. After passing through a beautiful parabola, the stone fell into the water.

Accompanied by a muffled sound of entering the water, suddenly countless white arms popped out, and more and more gathered. After a while, the area where the stones entered the water was full of human limbs.

Like boiling water.

The carnival of corpses flooded the area without warning.Like a drowning person, waving his hands helplessly and frantically, trying to grab something, but unfortunately, there is nothing there.

"What...what is this?" Harry's face was a little ugly, but he could still stand. After all, he had also seen the scene of heart-wrenching, and his mental endurance was much stronger than that of him at his age in the original novel. .Although the sight was terrifying and he was surprised, it was not enough to scare him.

"The Inferi," Anthony whispered,

"The so-called Dark Lord killed at least one resident of a small town."

"This..." Harry's face was full of seriousness.Although both his own life experience and Sirius all explained or proved that Voldemort was a complete madman.

But that was just listening to other people's stories. It was only then, after he saw these poor people who died tragically at the hands of Voldemort, that he finally realized how evil and terrifying his enemy was!

"How do we get there?" After a moment, Harry asked Anthony with his hands raised in the air, as if in a daze.

"There is a boat, Kreacher remembers it, but it doesn't know the location of the boat." Kreacher shouted excitedly in his bullfrog voice.

————In a voice that Harry couldn't hear, Anthony was reciting over and over again the spell he had used to sense magic in Nurmengard.

Gradually, a sense of clarity came to his mind, and he entered a strange state where there was only black and white in front of him.

Sure enough, in this state, he could easily see that there was an iron chain exuding magic power at the bottom of the lake.

Then Anthony cast a flying spell on it.

"Kreacher is right." Anthony suddenly grinned.Then there was a sudden ripple on the lake surface, and suddenly a huge iron chain emerged from the water and was firmly grasped in his hand.

"There is a boat."

The magic in his eyes faded, Anthony held the chain and handed one end to Harry. Then the two of them pulled it, and the invisible ship began to move slowly towards them as if it was zero gravity.

In fact, he just wanted to try just now, to see if he could catch the chain of the ship.

But I didn't expect that it would be a success.

In fact, even if he doesn't succeed, it doesn't matter to Anthony, he still has a way.Riddle just doesn't allow magic items to pass through the lake, so he can physically pass through, drill a hole in the mountain walls on both sides, pull a cable, then nail the other end into the island, and swing the cable directly across.

There is also a nail gun in his box that agents use for rock climbing, which can shoot dozens of meters away!

Looking at the boat coming from the lake, Harry suddenly asked nervously: "Anthony, how do we deal with these Inferi?"

"Easy!" he said.

"Like many dark creatures, man-made creations like the Inferi are also afraid of fire and light."

"Like devil's ivy?"

"That's right, just like the devil vine."

——At this time, the wooden boat had slowly docked.

Harry and Anthony jumped on board, holding on to the boat.

"Fortunately, there are only two of us!" Anthony whispered. Kreacher could apparate to the island by himself. He and Harry were the only ones who really needed to build the boat.

The ship under their feet is not supported by weight, but by magic power. This is also one of Voldemort's designs.He would not allow a wizard with too much magic power to reach the island.

And he and Harry...

Except for a few slight shakes, there was no change in the ship.

It seems that he looks down upon them!Anthony silently made up his mind to make waves in your future!

The ship then began to move forward automatically.

The two people holding wands on the boat had solemn expressions. After sailing into the center of the lake, the distance illuminated by fluorescent energy was less than three or four feet. They were like death squads searching for a map, wandering around in the fog of war, surrounded by deep darkness. , as if something would jump out and eat them the next moment.

However, this feeling of powerlessness did not last long, and soon a very small artificial island appeared in front of the two of them.

Kreacher was standing on a stone, waving to them!

"How stingy!" Anthony's first words after the ship docked steadily and landed on the island were to complain about Voldemort's island.

The surrounding area is surrounded by random piles of stones, which look quite big, but there are rubbles everywhere. The only foothold on the entire island is a black platform in the center that is less than six or seven feet long and wide.

It was a stone slab, which was deliberately inlaid in the center of the small island. On it was an ancient round stone basin with a shell-shaped spoon on it.

Anthony, who is familiar with the original work, naturally knows what those things are.

The trap set by Voldemort was a kind of chronic poison, and not only these potions, but also the entire stone basin was cast with exquisite, complex and tough magic.

With curiosity about the potion, Melda deliberately walked over and stared at the potion carefully.

With his knowledge reserve - of course he couldn't tell anything. He looked at it for a long time and just thought it was clear water.

"Sir, that was the Dark Lord's trap. Those were poisons! Master Regulus drank these things before..." Seeing that Kreacher was about to shed tears, Anthony even moved away from the stone slab.

Then he said continuously: "Okay, we know, now you can find out where Regulus fell into the water!"

"No problem, sir!" Kreacher flew like a cheerful bird to a pass made of several stones.He shouted loudly: "This is it, Master, this is it!"

Hearing the sound, Anthony looked in the direction the house elf was pointing - well - he saw nothing but dark water.

Immediately, he glanced at Kreacher. The elf could clearly remember the spot where Regulus fell into the water. It obviously came here often. It even tried to salvage it itself. You know, Regulus was already dead. 14 Years later, it’s really amazing that I can remember it so clearly.

"What should we do?" Harry also walked over. The craze of the Inferi just now was still fresh in his mind. How should they fish them out?

"How? Haha!"

With that said, Anthony opened his treasure bag again, and this time he took out - um - a fishing rod?

"Have you ever fished?"

"No~" Harry replied honestly.

"It's okay, with this tool of mine, a rookie can become an experienced fisherman!" As he said that, he handed the fishing rod to Harry and took out another one.

Harry was stunned when he took the fishing rod, because he obviously found that the fishing rod in his hand was different from ordinary ones. Although he had never fished before, his uncle Dursley had, and they still had fishing tools at home. .

But the difference between that tool and the one in Anthony's hand is not that big!

"This is called visual anchor fishing, visible fishing rod!" (Visible anchor fishing is illegal, please don't try it!)

Anthony pointed to the monitor on the fishing rod.

In an instant, Harry understood. This was just putting the camera on the hook and watching the fishing!

"This is not a simple one. It was originally used by MI[-] agents to detect intelligence. It is not only visual, but also has infrared and thermal imaging functions."

Immediately, Anthony swayed the huge fishhook and the pale light and slowly dived into the lake.

And Harry followed suit, sinking the fishhook deep into the lake.

Kreacher squatted between the two of them, staring at the screen back and forth.

Anthony had no choice but to use this method. Although he could deal with these zombies, it would be too difficult to find one of these corpses and catch it without harming him. He might as well In this way, he was searching for it carefully, just like the gold mining game he played when he was a child.

Anyway, they have plenty of time.

Then...

A full 10 minutes passed in a blink of an eye.

Just when Anthony and Harry's hands were numb, Harry suddenly shouted, "Found it!"

"Thank God!" Anthony sighed.

Fortunately, he had a diesel generator with him, otherwise this thing would have run out of power.

"Yes, Master Regulus! It's Master Regulus!" Kreacher shouted excitedly, staring directly at the small monitor, as if it was his entire life.

"Be careful, Harry, hook him gently with your claws, and then move a little bit to see the reaction of the surrounding Inferi. I will ask you to use force later, so you can quickly pull Regulus hard." Drag it up."

Anthony put away his fishing rod, then pulled out his wand and stared cautiously at the lake.

"I know."

From the monitor, he could clearly see the corpse of a teenage boy. He was wearing a black wizard robe that was completely different from the surrounding Muggles. He also had the emblem of the Black family clearly visible on his chest.

It was from this family crest that he recognized that this was Sirius' younger brother.

"Let's begin!" Following Anthony's command, Harry controlled the claws of the fishhook and quickly grabbed Regulus' arm.

Immediately, a ripple appeared on the lake surface.

Then Harry started to exert force, but the most ideal state that Anthony wanted to see did not appear.The surrounding water surface suddenly produced countless waves.

"Harry, pull!" Anthony yelled.

Harry understood what he meant and stepped directly on a red button next to the box. Then a huge force came from the box, which was the tractor exerting force.

Countless Inferi instantly appeared on the lake, and they rushed toward Harry crazily.

Anthony's reaction was even faster. He waved his wand and the stones around him instantly formed a huge troll, exactly the same as the troll that Sirius had found to give them 'great insights'.

The difference is that with Anton, only the upper body of the giant monster was deformed, sticking to the ground and continuing to wave the stone stick in his hand like a machine.

Kreacher also participated. He waved his arm, and more than a dozen stones flew out, hitting the heads of the Inferi. Although this handle was of no use, it was also a way of showing his determination.

"Back there, Anthony!" Harry shouted. He was holding the fishing rod with both hands and was unable to draw out his wand to cast a spell.

"Fire is raging!!!" Anthony didn't even think about it, and threw a stream of flames directly behind them!

"Too many!" Harry said!

A ball of flame did drive back many Inferi, but more were crawling out of the lake, and there were people surrounding them on both sides.

At this time, Regulus's body had been pulled out of the water, at the critical moment.

Suddenly there was a loud bang in the cave, and the sound was extremely harsh.

"Haha, you really can't move after your head explodes, right! If I had known, this would have been like this!"

Anthony waved his hand, and dozens of firearms flew out of the box. These were the trophies of his London attack, and now was the time to use them.

The magic controlled the trigger, and the sound of 'dah-dah' suddenly became loud.

The death web woven by bullets directly shattered the bodies of countless Inferi.

Anthony did not control only aiming at the head. After all, it was too difficult to shoot a headshot with a gun, and the firepower network was simple.

The strong smell of gunpowder and blood quickly spread on the island in the center of the lake.

There was the sound of falling bullet shells and the severed arms and hands of the Inferi everywhere.

The scene was very bloody at one time!

"Anthony!" Harry shouted with all his strength, holding Regulus who was still struggling.

"Master Regulus! Master Regulus!" Kreacher kept comforting Regulus, trying to calm him down, but now that he had become an Inferi, he was still the hero who dared to resist Voldemort.

"Everyone is petrified!" Harry finally had a chance and picked up the spell he had dropped. Then he cast the petrification spell and turned Regulus to stone.

"Haha! It feels so good to kill!"

After finishing the last magazine, Anthony breathed a sigh of relief. He now understands why zombie-themed games are so popular.

"Hide in the box, Harry, and Kreacher, and don't show your head!"

"Yeah!" Harry nodded, and together with Kreacher, he lifted Regulus closer to the box.

After the two are safe.

Anthony stood by the lake, looking at the still boiling water, and smiled wildly.

"ladies and gentlemen!"

He held his wand high.

"Our feast is coming to an end!"

Suddenly a ball of violent flames, like a beast from ancient times, roared out from the tip of Anthony's wand.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust! Die completely and gratefully!"

"Fire starts a prairie fire!!!"
