Chapter 448: cave
Chapter 448 Cave
The headmaster of Hogwarts seemed to have been caught by Fox in his sleep, so that when he first landed on the ground, his expression was still a little dazed.
A cold wind with the smell of the sea blew by, and the centenarian couldn't help but shiver, but it also woke him up.
"Oh, Kyle, and Sirius...what happened, why did you summon Fawkes all of a sudden."
"Horcruxes, Professor." Kyle said straight to the point: "We found Voldemort's Horcruxes."
Dumbledore was visibly absent-minded for a moment, and the expression on his face was as incredible as if he saw Snape in a dress dancing with a troll.
He also looked for clues about the Horcrux, but found nothing. As a result, he just slept and the Horcrux was found by Kyle again?
Dumbledore always had an unreal feeling.
“Time is running out now, I’ll explain it to you later…” Kyle looked at Kreacher, “Take us there first.”
The elf hurriedly walked towards the cave, followed closely by Sirius.
Kyle walked at the back, telling Dumbledore what happened and comforting Fawkes who was pecking at his hair.
This is not complicated. When a few people came to the middle of the cave, it was basically finished.
Dumbledore's expression became more and more serious.
A brave and kind-hearted man returned from his own way, and after realizing his mistake, he chose to sacrifice himself to fight against Voldemort and save more people... Even Dumbledore admired the courage shown by Regulus.
"I think he deserves to use a precious phoenix tail feather, even if it can only make him go home a few hours earlier...it is still worth it." Kyle finally said.
Dumbledore did not speak, but nodded slightly.
At the same time, Fox stopped pecking his hair. They came to Kreacher in silence and stopped in front of a cave wall.
“This is it.” Kreacher said excitedly and took out a table knife.
“What are you going to do?” Sirius asked.
"I think it takes blood to open it," Dumbledore said.
Kreacher nodded, as he had done before.
“That’s too low,” said Dumbledore, with a tone of contempt, even disappointment. "He wanted his opponent to weaken himself before he could get in. Once again, Voldemort was unable to understand that there are many things more terrifying than physical damage."
Kreacher couldn't understand what he said. He only knew that he would see Master Regulus soon, and he was very happy to slash his arm with a dagger.
However, the next second, the knife was snatched away.
"I'll do it." Sirius rolled up his sleeves with the hand holding the knife. He felt that Regulus would not let the elf bleed to open the door, so he would not do it either.
But just when he was about to take action, the knife was snatched away again.
Kyle casually put the heavy sterling silver meal into his pocket, took out a dark red bottle and said to Sirius.
“Remember, you owe me three hundred galleons.”
Kyle opened the bottle, and a strong smell of blood instantly filled the small cave.
Dumbledore’s mouth moved, wanting to smile.
Voldemort probably never imagined that someone would bring a large amount of dragon's blood with them when they came here. This kind of blood containing magic is really suitable...
Kyle threw the bottle directly.
A dazzling white outline of an arch appeared on the cave wall. The rock covered in dragon's blood in the arch suddenly disappeared, revealing a doorway, which seemed to be endless darkness.
Kreacher excitedly ran through the doorway, and the others followed him in and lit their wands.
There was a very strange scene in front of them. They were standing on the shore of a large black lake. The lake was extremely vast and stretched as far as the eye could see. The cave they were in was also very high, and they couldn't see the top of the cave when they looked up.
Far away, as if in the middle of the lake, there was a hazy, green light shining.
Kreacher ran around the shore of the lake with ease, his footsteps echoing on the narrow rocks beside the lake.
Soon, Kreacher stopped. He recognized the surrounding scene, and then stretched out his hand slowly in the air, as if he wanted to find and grasp something invisible.
But I don’t know if he was too short, and he rowed for a long time without getting any results.
On the contrary, it was Dumbledore. His hand hovered in the air and he really caught something.
He took out his wand and tapped his fist with the tip of the wand.
Immediately, a thick green copper chain suddenly emerged from the lake and jumped towards Dumbledore's clenched fist.
The chain pulled something up from the dark bottom of the lake. Sirius watched in amazement as the bow of a small boat emerged from the lake like a ghost and floated towards where they were standing. There was hardly a ripple in the whole process.
"This is…"
"I think Voldemort needs a way to cross the lake smoothly in case he needs to visit or take away his Horcruxes, so as not to anger the guys he placed in the lake."
The ship has docked.
Kreacher and Sirius jumped on the boat almost at the same time, and then Dumbledore also walked on.
This boat is so small that after two adults and a house elf got on it, there was only a palm-sized space left.
"Kyle, you can stay here, Fox will accompany you." Dumbledore said, "And Voldemort is very likely to have cast a spell on this ship. Once the ship carries too much magical power, it will It will sink to the bottom of the lake.”
"That's right." Sirius nodded repeatedly, "And this boat is too small. Even a normal boat cannot bear the weight of three people."
Kyle suspected that they did it on purpose and just didn't want him to go, but there was no evidence.
Because what they said was right. When Dumbledore got on, the boat suddenly sank a lot. At this time, the edge of the boat was less than an inch away from the lake. Let alone another person. Even a cat would find it difficult to get up there.
But…
"Gentlemen." Kyle asked with a strange expression: "Do you still remember the main reason for coming here this time?"
“To find Regulus, of course!” Sirius blurted out.
"In that case, why are you taking a boat?" Kyle looked at the darkened lake water. "I think the water here was probably made into another form of potion by Voldemort. Anyone dragged in All creatures will slowly be assimilated into the Inferi over time, so wouldn't it be the same to do it here? Why do we have to go to the middle of the lake?
Although Regulus was dragged in from there, no one can guarantee that he will definitely be left there. "
