Chapter 1,148
"I think we're here." Rutherford seemed to have returned to his usual calmness, at least there was no longer that weird and trembling voice in his words.
This is rare for a vampire. You can't ask an animal with hibernating habits to roam around in the Arctic Circle. Even a native white-haired dog can hardly survive in the core area of the Far North.
"Are we here?" Fan Lin looked at the huge glacier in front of him... Well, the ice surface is very smooth. If you wipe it a little, it can even reflect some mirror images. Strictly speaking, this is a bit unreasonable.
"So..." Hermione asked hesitantly, "This is our destination? This iceberg?"
"If I remember correctly, it should be here." Rutherford looked up at the sun in the sky, "Follow the guidance of the stars."
"Guidance from the stars. When did the vampires start to believe in this?"
"Occult science has always been a field that the Vampires have explored. In fact, the entire Vampire tribe has been classified by human wizards into categories that cannot be understood."
"For example, transforming the wizard's form through first embrace?" Fan Lin thought of Cedric, the poor Hefpuff boy who was turned into a member of the vampire family by Trevor.
"Maybe!" Rutherford nodded, "Magic to survive."
"Professor Nicolás Flamel and Mr. Dumbledore are inside, the vampire's castle, according to what was found in the handbook of a Toledo clan member. It is worth mentioning that he was the one who controlled the golem seven hundred years ago. "The prince of the blood clan." Rutherford said, "This can be regarded as an unexpected gain. Voldemort is looking for the vampire's tomb, and it just so happens that we are one step ahead."
"Is this your action and the reason why Sirius was injured?" Fan Lin asked.
"It's not an action. In fact, this is quite unexpected. We are in Germany to find out information about the vampires, and I happened to be able to invade their minds."
"So, you snatched it away?" Fan Lin asked, and had to admit that with Sirius's character, such a thing was definitely possible.
"It doesn't matter." Rutherford said with his head lowered, walking along the edge of the glacier.
"So, you are now..."
"Oh, here!" Rutherford seemed to be praising his eyesight. According to the direction Rutherford pointed, a huge glacier crack appeared in front of Fan Lin's eyes.
At first glance, through the crystal ice crystals, the sunlight only penetrated less than seven feet, and there was darkness below. Even with Fan Lin's eyes, he could not see anything more.
"So, what do we do?"
"Jump in." Rutherford said, squeezing his body into the crevice in the front of the glacier.
"This is the road dug by Mr. Dumbledore. Unfortunately, I have never been there. It can be said that this is a wonderful journey."
"Journey? You seem to be joking!" Fan Lin said, unable to imagine Dumbledore's old body squeezing into this unfriendly-looking ice crevice.
What's the point?
Fanlin felt a little scared.
From the moment he arrived here, Fan Lin clearly felt the ambiguity of the flow of magic power. Obviously, this land of ice and snow did not welcome wizards very much, otherwise they would not have to walk on the glacier for more than an hour.
And now let him jump through the crevices of a glacier?
It's not that no one has done this before, it's just that no one who has done this has ever come back.
Fanlin simply couldn't imagine, even bringing a Nicoléme with him?
"So, what's down here?"
"I don't know, maybe it's the end point, or some other clues." Rutherford said, "I have never gone down there, but it is recorded in my ancestors' handbooks that there is such a castle, hidden at the end of the old world. Beneath the endless abyss.”
"Vampire's castle? Here? Hibernation?" Fan Lin felt a little... confused?
"I don't know," Rutherford said. "Anyway, yesterday morning, I saw Mr. Dumbledore and Mr. Nicolas Flamel go down here with my own eyes."
"The two of them won't..." Hermione said worriedly, looking at Rutherford who had squeezed half of his body in, "I mean, we are sure not to wait for Dumbledore and Mr. Nicolas Flamel to come back. ?”
"If they want to come back, they don't have to ask us to come here directly." Fan Lin said speechlessly, "Isn't there a more reliable way?"
"I think that's all. The journey shouldn't be very long, so I'll take the first step." Rutherford said, as if his foot was empty, and then he disappeared from Fan Lin's eyes.
Slip or fall directly?
Obviously, no one can give Fanlin a positive answer.
"So, the two of us..." Hermione looked at the cracks in the glacier hesitantly.
It can be seen that the ice layer twice was very smooth, and there were artificial traces on the original basis.
Rather, Dumbledore used the Vanishing Curse to create a slide?
This should be regarded as Dumbledore's bad taste. If he had a choice, Fanlin would prefer to go down by apparating. Who knows how far it is.
"Perhaps, Hermione, why don't you go back first?" Fan Lin hesitated, "I can wait a little..."
"Let's go down together." Hermione said, holding the wand tightly in her hand. "I don't think there will be any danger. After all, Dumbledore..."
"I will protect you." Fan Lin said solemnly. Even now, Fan Lin feels that bringing Hermione with him this time is definitely a mistake.
…
If you have ever experienced the feeling of falling from a high altitude, this is a very good attempt.
It is difficult to describe what kind of experience it is to continuously fall down from the glacier on the surface along a smooth tunnel.
Weightlessness accompanied by an intense feeling of dizziness?
This is probably not enough to describe Fanlin's extremely exciting mood at this moment.
I have an MMP, but I can’t say it now?
If Hermione hadn't been in Fan Lin's arms, Fan Lin would have wanted to use his magic power to apparate away from here.
After falling for about five seconds, only the light blue light emitted by the wand was left in the entire passage. Fortunately, the newly made magic cloak did not cause any problems at this juncture, at least there was still some friction. Li Fanlin didn't feel too much, and the only thing that could be confirmed was that they did not go in the wrong direction, or in other words, they had no choice at all.
Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel could walk in safely, but those who followed could obviously only end this journey in a faster and faster way.
"Arrestomomentum!"
Fan Lin yelled out the curse, trying hard to keep his and Hermione's bodies from falling further.
This is probably the most unreliable path Fanlin has ever taken.
The last leg of the journey was spent entirely in the darkness of a vertical descent.
Who knows what kind of bad taste it was that allowed Dumbledore to open up such an exciting path?
Hermione's face turned pale with fright, and Fanlin wasn't much better.
If the worst thing Fanlin had experienced before Christmas was practicing apparation, now it was obviously time to change. (To be continued)
