Chapter 503 Lu Ping: I Didn’t Expect You to Have Grown to This Point! (2 in 1 4000 Words)

Ivan didn't expect that just a meeting between Dobby and Kreacher would cause such a big conflict, and he immediately doubted whether calling Dobby over was the right choice.

Kreacher also surprised Ivan by emphasizing that house elves would never betray their master.

If he remembered correctly, Leach in the original time and space betrayed Sirius and indirectly caused Sirius's death. This is obviously inconsistent with the words it said.

Unless Klitchery in the original time and space does not recognize Sirius as his master at all!

After all, Sirius was excluded from the Black family tree by his mother decades ago and is not the orthodox heir. If the members of the Black family had not died or been imprisoned, Sirius would not be able to inherit the family business.

Kreacher was probably forced to obey Sirius's orders due to the constraints of the rules. He probably didn't approve of this relationship in his heart, so he deliberately leaked the information to kill Sirius, hoping that Bellatrix would be with Sirius. Become your own master after death

Fortunately, the situation is different now. If Regulus' body can be successfully fished out of the lake this time and Kreacher's wish is fulfilled, such tragedies should not happen in the future.

While thinking in his mind, Ivan did not forget to restrain the two house elves, Dobby and Kreacher, and ordered them not to have any more conflicts during this operation, so as not to delay the business.

Of course Dobby would not disobey Ivan's orders.

Kreacher also calmed down after considering that this operation was related to Regulus. Although he looked at Dobby like he was a pest, at least he stopped cursing behind his back.

"Sirius, it's already very late now. If we don't want to operate in the dark at night, we'd better hurry up!" Lupine glanced at the sky outside and couldn't help but remind him.

"Okay, let's leave now!" Sirius didn't want to delay for a moment, so he asked Kreacher to take them to the destination.

Only Kreacher here has been to that cave, and they must be carried by Kreacher to teleport to the exact location.

In order to save magic power, the teleportation was divided into two times. Kreacher first took away Sirius and Lupin. When he came back, there were already some beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Do you need a break?" Ivan asked worriedly.

"House elves don't need to rest, sir!" Kreacher shook his head hastily and said humbly.

Only then did Ivan notice that after destroying the Horcrux, Kreacher's attitude towards him had changed greatly. He no longer looked disgusted and disgusted at the beginning, and instead showed some gratitude in his words.

Ivan smiled, stretched out his hand, and held it with Kreacher.

Dobby on the side also stretched out his hand.

Kreacher had a look of disgust on his face, as if he had been stimulated by something, and screamed loudly. "Go away, don't touch me, you annoying bug!"

Dobby's ears drooped and he stretched out his hands as if he was at a loss. Ivan had no choice but to step forward and grab Dobby, and then ordered Kreacher to disapparate.

Following a sudden spin, when Ivan came to his senses again, he was already standing in a strange place, seemingly on the edge of a cliff, facing the endless sea.

The salty and humid sea breeze blew slowly by, bringing a bit of coolness, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks was constantly echoing in my ears.

Sirius and Lupine were not far away, discussing something.

"Why don't you just take us into the cave?" Ivan looked at Kreacher strangely. He had thought that Kreacher would take them and teleport directly to the place where Regulus was dragged into the water by the Inferi. .

"Kreacher can't sense it directly, sir!" the old house elf panted slightly and said in frustration.

Ivan nodded. It seemed that Voldemort had probably cast some shielding magic there.

"Kreacher, where should we go now?" Sirius interrupted the conversation between the two, looked at Kreacher and asked.

"Just go in from there and swim for a while and you'll be there!" Kreacher turned his head, pointed at the narrow crack at the bottom of the cliff on the right, and replied.

"Then what are you waiting for? I'll go explore the path first and you all follow me!" Sirius held the wand in his mouth, jumped into the sea without saying a word, and swam towards the dark crack.

Ivan stretched out his wand and tapped his head, blessing himself with a head-soaking spell, then jumped into the water and followed him.

A few people just walked straight through the dark gap and walked along the narrow dark passages on both sides. The surroundings were getting darker and darker, and only a faint light could shine through the gap behind them.

After swimming like this for about a few minutes, Ivan reached the end. Ivan struggled to climb up the steps. He was wet all over and felt very uncomfortable.

"Lumos~" Sirius's voice sounded not far away, and the dazzling white light spread out in all directions with the wand as the center, illuminating everything around him.

Only then did everyone realize that they were in a closed cave. The surrounding rock walls were covered with mud and green moss, which looked very desolate.

"Are you sure this is it? Kreacher?" Lupine looked around. There was nothing but stones in the cave.

The old house elf nodded, but after more than ten years, it only remembered that the entrance required blood to open, and that the location of the secret door was in front, but it forgot where it was.

"Why don't we give it a try? Since Voldemort has set up protection, it will not be easily broken!" Ivan thought for a while and suggested.

"Not a bad idea!" Sirius did what he thought of, and immediately waved his wand to shoot out several beams of light, which hit different positions on the stone wall in front, blasting out holes one by one.

"Split into pieces!" Ivan was also helping, but this time the magic didn't work, and the spell disappeared without a trace when it hit the stone wall.

Sirius and Lupine laughed, it looked like this was it!

Ivan stepped forward and looked at the uneven stone wall in front of him. He thought of the scene of Dumbledore's induction exploration in the original time and space, and tried to touch it gently with his hand.

The wall of the cave was very rough to the touch. Ivan input some magic power into it, but was rejected. There was nothing strange about it from the outside.

This made Ivan a little disappointed. The magic that Voldemort applied on this was very clever, and it was not something that he could see through.

If he hadn't been familiar with the plot and had Kreacher to guide him, he would definitely not have been able to crack it.

Ivan sighed in his heart. The slight complacency brought about by defeating Sirius was thrown behind him. Now it seems that there is still a big gap between himself and the Dark Lord in his heyday.

"Ivan, what are you doing?" Sirius and Lupine looked at Ivan's movements strangely and asked in confusion.

Ivan finally came back to his senses, looked at the two people with doubtful expressions, his expression remained unchanged, and he answered casually. "I'm exploring the movement of magic. Since some kind of magic has been cast here, there will always be some traces left!"

"Can you detect traces of spell casting just by perception?" Lu Ping did not doubt Ivan's words, but looked at him in surprise.

"I didn't expect you to have grown to this point!" Lu Ping felt a little ashamed while sighing. He estimated that he would never reach such a level in his life.

Ivan was embarrassed for a moment. He actually didn't sense anything just now, he just imitated Dumbledore and said it casually.

"Ahem, then the key to opening this door should be blood. Who among us will come?" Ivan couldn't stand the looks of Lupine and Sirius, so he coughed twice and changed the topic.

"Use Kreacher's blood!" The old house elf stood up excitedly, grabbed a sharp piece of gravel from the ground, and was about to slit his wrist.

But at this moment Lupine stretched out his hand to stop Kreacher's behavior.

"Stop, Kreacher! You have consumed enough just now. You will have to take us out with Dobby later. You need to maintain enough magic power and physical strength!" Lupine said.

"Then use me." Sirius took a few steps forward, but was interrupted by Lupine before he could finish his words.

"No! Sirius, you can't do it either. The magic you're going to use later also requires a lot of blood, so I'll do it this time! Don't forget, my recovery ability is better than yours!" Lupine was very angry. He said firmly, then put the wand on his wrist.

The next moment, a dim light lit up at the top of the wand.

Sirius had no time to stop it, and a large amount of scarlet blood flowed out of Lupine's wrist, as if guided by magic, it flowed upstream along the dark stone wall, dyeing it bright red.

"Remus! This has been my business from beginning to end, you don't have to do this!" Sirius sighed, feeling very uncomfortable when he saw Lupine, who had lost too much blood and turned paler.

Kreacher started sobbing softly. Lupine now reminded him of Regulus.

On that day more than ten years ago, it was here that it kept begging Master Regulus to use his own blood to open the stone door, but the young master refused.

Ivan frowned as he watched the steady stream of blood being drawn out by magic from the wound on Lupine's wrist.

When Dumbledore cracked this level in the original time and space, he probably didn't use so much blood.

Or is it that the sacrifice required by Voldemort is not just blood, but the magic power contained in the blood. The quality of Lupine's blood is far inferior to that of Dumbledore, so more needs to be consumed?

But it’s right to think about it this way.

If not, even if Voldemort was unwilling to sacrifice his subordinates when hiding the Horcrux, he could just grab any Muggle. Why risk being exposed and ask Regulus for a house elf to serve as a sacrifice?

The blood transfusion lasted for a short while, and a dazzling white light suddenly appeared on the stone wall, and the white light could vaguely be seen showing the outline of an arch.

The remaining blood was gradually absorbed, and the entire cave shook slowly. The secret door in front was opened, revealing a doorway. It was very dark inside and it was difficult to see anything.

Ivan immediately stepped forward and cast a healing spell to heal the wound on Lupine's wrist.

However, due to the large amount of blood loss, Lupine's face turned frighteningly pale, and his body swayed for a while before he stood still.

"Are you okay? Lupin?" Sirius hurriedly came up to support him and asked worriedly.

Lu Ping shook his head, indicating that there was nothing wrong with him.

"We'd better leave quickly. I'm not sure how long this door can be opened!" Lupine reminded.

Sirius felt more and more guilty, patted Lupine's shoulder solemnly, and then strode into the open doorway with his wand raised.

Ivan followed Sirius and walked in. There was another cave behind the cave. The whole mountain seemed to be hollowed out, and the internal space was surprisingly large.

In front of them was an extremely wide black lake. They could not see the other side at a glance. They were now standing on the shore.

Ivan couldn't help but take a few steps closer, crouched down and put the flashing fluorescent wand close to the lake. The white light was reflected in the dead lake below, but it could not penetrate, and he could only see the darkness underneath.

"The water quality here is too bad. If we go down, it might be difficult to see clearly." Ivan stood up worriedly and said softly, keeping his voice as low as possible.

To be honest, knowing that there are countless inferi underneath and still having to sneak down to retrieve the corpses is something only a fool would do. Unfortunately, he had to be a fool this time.

Sirius also felt deeply worried, and this was more difficult than he had originally imagined.

GuluGulu

The calm lake surface suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water. In the weak fluorescence extended by the wand, pale and rotten hands stretched out from the dark bottom of the lake, covering the entire lake surface.

Seeing this scene, Ivan and others felt a chill running through their bodies. They all knew that there were definitely a lot of Inferi, but they didn't know that there were so many.

"How many people did Voldemort kill?" Ivan looked at the pale arms that were densely distributed like lotus roots in the pond. He wondered if Voldemort had slaughtered a Muggle town, otherwise it would be impossible to create such a huge mass. The Inferi Legion.

"Quick, drink it! This potion can hide our vitality and make us almost dead in a short period of time." Sirius's face changed, and he hurriedly took out a few bottles of dark green potion from the pocket of the wizard's robe. Distributed to everyone.

Lupine, Kreacher and Dobby took it as ordered without hesitation. Ivan also took a bottle, opened the cork of the potion, and drank it in one gulp.

The dark green potion tasted bitter in the mouth, like coffee that had expired but had forgotten to put sugar in it. After swallowing it, my stomach felt like it was being burned by a flame, causing endless pain.

After a while, the pain gradually disappeared, and a cold feeling spread throughout his body. Ivan felt that the blood in his body seemed to be frozen, and even his heartbeat became very weak.
