Chapter 449 Clearing Show (Thanks to the prank-loving leader of Wheel of Fortune, plus update 25)
The two people standing on the boat suddenly felt as if a cold wind had blown by, blowing on their slightly hot cheeks.
Yeah, they don’t have to go to the center of the lake to get the fake locket, so why take a boat.
Dumbledore reacted the fastest. He naturally lifted his feet and returned to the shore from the boat.
"Oh, people cannot lack sleep when they get old, and their brains are a little bit exhausted... But I think you might want to take a look at Voldemort's design. This is probably it. They are all his usual methods. They have never been used for decades. any changes.”
“Yeah, you’re right.” Kyle smiled.
Fox on his shoulder immediately turned his head away, seemingly interested in the bare rock wall.
Sirius and Kreacher also reacted at this time and quickly walked out of the boat behind him.
It does save more time here than going to the center of the lake, and after finding Regulus, you can leave faster.
After everyone got off, the boat returned to the lake and disappeared.
Sirius stood on the shore, looked at the calm lake and said, "Do we have to come into contact with the lake here to attract those monsters?"
Even though he asked this question, he didn't seem to need an answer. As he spoke, he had already arrived at the lakeside and put his hand into the cold lake water just as Kreacher described.
This action seemed to trigger some kind of switch. A white arm came out of the lake, quickly grabbed Sirius's arm, and dragged him into the lake with force.
At the same time, the lake surface was no longer as smooth as a mirror, but was churning violently. White arms and heads were everywhere emerging from the dark water, rushing toward the shore at extremely fast speeds.
“Let go, Master!” Kreacher yelled and stretched out his finger, as if using a repelling spell or something. The Inferi let go of Sirius and fell back into the water with a splash.
However, more Inferi have crawled out, grabbing the slippery rocks with withered hands, staring at Sirius with hollow eyes.
Sirius quickly retreated to the shore, took out his wand, and while retreating, he carefully identified the face of each Inferi. Only after he was sure that it was not Regulus... would he use a magic spell to knock the other person back into the water.
Soon, six or seven Inferi were knocked down, but more came.
Kyle and Dumbledore also stepped forward to help.
Dumbledore was the most relaxed among them. He did not need to recite magic spells at all. He could just wave his wand to make these monsters fly back into the water and never climb out again.
For Dumbledore, it was too easy to deal with this guy who couldn't use magic.
If he were not worried about accidentally injuring Regulus, he would have many more efficient ways.
Kyle also kept casting petrification spells nearby, attacking those guys who couldn't be Regulus at first sight.
Everyone had a clear division of labor. Sirius acted as a decoy in the front, Kreacher was responsible for finding Regulus, and Kyle and Dumbledore provided magic support in the back. The three of them and one elf worked together in perfect harmony.
After using a few more petrification spells, Kyle looked at the increasing number of enemies and couldn't help but said: "It would be great if I could use the Fire Curse. Put it around Sirius to ensure that those guys come as many times as they want." How many deaths?"
Hearing Kyle's words, Dumbledore's hand holding the wand paused slightly, and the magic around Sirius also paused for a moment.
Although the time was short, Sirius was still submerged. Those cold arms picked him up from the ground and walked slowly, but without hesitation, towards the black lake.
“Everyone retreat!”
Dumbledore quickly waved his wand and rescued Sirius.
"There is such a spell, but it cannot be used now." He said softly: "The fire will make them instinctively retreat, and it will be more difficult for us to find Regulus." "Will you?" Kyle asked: "Can be taught..."
“No!” Dumbledore interrupted Kyle.
He was silent for a moment before continuing: "The Fire Curse is a high-end black magic. Although I don't know how you learned it, I must tell you that this kind of black magic is extremely dangerous and extremely difficult to control. If you don't have to, It's best never to use it.
If you are really interested, I can teach you another kind of spell, which is derived from the variation of the fire spell and is relatively safer. "
“What is…”
“Master Regulus!”
Just as Kyle was about to ask, he heard an excited scream from Kreacher not far away.
Then he desperately rushed towards the tide of corpses and tried to drag one person out. He allowed the other person to scratch and bite him without letting go.
Kyle subconsciously looked over and saw that he was a very young man. His face had long lost any trace of blood and became white and shriveled. But everyone, including Kyle, could recognize him at a glance. He was Regulus.
Because this look is so similar to Sirius who just escaped from Azkaban.
Kreacher dragged Regulus to the rocks at the entrance, hugging him and crying and screaming.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sirius's laughter echoed in the empty cave, as if what he was chasing behind him was not a scary monster, but hundreds of cute moon-crazy beasts.
Dumbledore also smiled, turned to Kyle and said: "I was worried about how to describe the effect of the spell to you just now, but now it seems that there is no need for it, just stay closer to me..."
Kyle nodded and immediately took a few steps forward.
Then Dumbledore raised his wand, and flames suddenly burst out from the tip of the wand.
The dark cave was lit up.
Bright, golden-red flames rolled around Dumbledore, following the turning of the wand like waves, and continued to grow.
There was a harsh crackling sound coming from the surroundings, and the original cold and damp feeling disappeared instantly and became extremely hot.
When Dumbledore stretched out his wand again, the flames surged and condensed into a huge golden-red tsunami, rushing forward.
In the blink of an eye, there was an open road at least ten feet wide in front of Kyle, with two scorching walls of fire extending forward on both sides, as if across the entire lake, with no end as far as the eye could see.
Kyle was dumbfounded.
He was originally thinking about letting Norbert out to clear the situation, but he didn't expect... Dumbledore's hand was much more powerful than the fire dragon.
Dumbledore put away his wand, looked at Kyle's expression, and nodded with satisfaction.
"How about it, have you thought about it?" He asked with a smile: "Do you want to learn the Fire Spell, or this one?"
“Professor, I want to learn this.” Kyle said without hesitation.
After getting the answer, Dumbledore was even more satisfied.
That's right, what's the point of using the Fire Spell to draw a circle around it? It's useless to learn it, it's a waste of time.
