Chapter 2221 The Second Ice Coffin
boom! "
Until now, Ron still didn't know what the other party's so-called "gift" was.
It was just covered with a black fine velvet cloth, and it looked like a long and rectangular outline. It was carried by several high-level living corpses that Ron had never seen before, and it fell gently but heavily on the floor of the hall. .
When they passed by with this thing, Ron also intuitively felt a bone-chilling chill - which made him really not want to get close.
However, he didn't move, but someone moved first.
Just after those high-level living corpses put down their "gifts" and exited the hall again in a silent and low-key manner, Ron saw with great vigilance the black figure sitting lazily on the high steps , finally got up from the throne for the first time today, and walked down step by step.
"Don't you come here to 'unwrap the present'? I heard that a gift can only reveal its greatest value when it is opened by hand... Isn't it?" The demon walked slowly to the side of the gift, looking at Ron said not far away, "Besides, I said don't worry, you don't have to worry anymore - if I want to do something to you, to 'you', I don't need any tricks."
This is a big truth, at least when facing a mere Ron Weasley, this demon really doesn't need to use unnecessary little tricks, even Ron himself thinks so.
And even if he took a step back, even if the other party wanted to force Ron to accept this "gift" now, Ron would definitely be unable to make any resistance. Whether you like it or not, you can only submit obediently.
This is a gap in strength and a gap in situation, and no one can deny it.
so……
"it is good."
Ron gritted his teeth secretly. He didn't know how much hard mental preparation he had made. He finally took a few steps forward, stretched out his right hand, and slowly grabbed the black flannel covering the "gift".
The chill, indeed the chill, was so cold that Ron's weak hands couldn't help trembling, so cold that he felt that his bones were throbbing with pain.
Is this the psychological effect caused by the incomparable tension? Or is it a residual symptom of the painful ordeal along the way?
No, neither! Ron knew very well that even if these factors existed, they would never be the main reason.
he shakes,
Just because he is cold! It's really cold!
The biting cold air penetrated the black flannelette and silently enveloped a small space near it, making Ron, who was standing close by, shrink his neck subconsciously.
Is it just a big lump of ice under the cover?
Ron thought so, but he also understood that there was no room for backing down now, so he simply didn't think about it anymore. He just took another half step forward, accelerated his speed like a broken can, then grabbed the black cloth on it with his right hand that was as cold as a chicken paw, and pulled it aside suddenly.
"Wow--"
The black velvet was raised in the air, and then floated aside as Ron let go, and fell quietly on the floor. Thus, the so-called "gift" that had been covered up until now finally revealed its mysterious true face.
Then, Ron froze for a moment.
"Really... just a lump of ice?"
It was a large rectangular block of ice, which seemed to have been cut very neatly, with every edge and every corner intact, without any defects or cracks.
However, probably because of the water vapor in the air, the incomparable cold made its smooth mirror-like surface covered with a thick but fluffy layer of frost. Just now it was moved in by several high-level living corpses, so on the lower edge of this big ice block, there are still a few clear indentations that have been touched.
For some reason, Ron suddenly had an inexplicable feeling of deja vu towards it.
But when Ron stared at the ice and stood there in a daze, he heard the demon on the other side speak again.
"'Bing Tuozi'? Oh, of course not—the important thing is not the ice, the gift is still inside the ice."
As soon as the other party finished speaking, the familiar feeling in Ron's heart suddenly turned into an extremely bad premonition. It's not because the lump of ice in front of him is dangerous, but... He suddenly realized that he seemed to understand where the familiar feeling in his heart came from!
This is an ice coffin! Just like the great wizard Albus Dumbledore who sleeps forever by the shore of Hogwarts Lake, he is also sleeping in a special ice block similar to this one in front of him. It's just that compared to Dumbledore's mouthful, this one is obviously relatively smaller.
Of course, this is not the most important thing right now. The most important thing is, who will be sleeping in this ice coffin?
After thinking about it, Ron still couldn't think of an answer that he could be sure of - there were too many possibilities, but at the same time, there were too few. At the very least, the one who can lie here and let the demon in front of him give it as a "gift" will definitely not be just an unknown person who died innocently at the hands of the living corpse.
So to be honest, Ron didn't dare to stretch out his hand anymore, he was afraid that when he wiped off the layer of frost, he would see a figure that made him feel heartbroken.
So, Ron suddenly raised his head again, glaring fiercely at the opposite demon with anger in his eyes. All fears and worries disappeared for a while, because for him, the unknown hidden in the ice coffin in front of him was probably the thing that frightened him the most at the moment.
However, the tall figure standing on the other side of the ice coffin still looked so indifferent and calm.
"Oh, don't look at me like that... I seem to have said at the beginning that this is a 'gift' that I want to convey goodwill to you and show friendship. In fact, I also spent a lot of time It took a lot of effort and a lot of risk to 'steal' it from a very dangerous place... Mr. Weasley, you must understand that it actually has nothing to do with me."
Speaking of which, maybe the other party didn't want to let Ron waste his time procrastinating any longer, so he suddenly stretched out his hand, "stabbed" and wiped the surface of the ice cube covered with ice crystals and frost vigorously.
In an instant, a piece of frost was wiped aside, revealing a smooth and transparent ice surface.
Regardless of Ron's own willingness or not, the other party's move instantly made him subconsciously follow the movement of that hand and cast his gaze on the icy surface.
It seemed a little dark in the cold ice, which should be because except for this area, the other sides were still covered by frost, and not much light could penetrate.
But enough... that was enough, because Ron had already seen a face there that was too familiar.
"how can that be?"
