Chapter 504 Black Lake and Inferi

Ivan tried to raise his hand, but the movement was much stiffer than usual. He waved the wand again and found that there was no obstacle to the operation of the magic. Then he turned to look at Sirius and others with confidence.

At this moment, Sirius and Lupine had already drank the potion. Their faces were blue, their expressions were dull, and they did not look like living people at all.

"Great, they're gone. It seems like this medicine is working!" Lu Ping looked at the lake with a very stiff expression and said in a hoarse voice.

Ivan also looked over. In the weak fluorescence of the wand, the pale arm stretched out on the lake slowly fell silent.

Soon, the black lake surface returned to its previous calmness.

But whether it was Ivan, Sirius or Lupin, they all felt a little scared when they looked at the calm lake in front of them.

Judging from the number of arms that popped up just now, there are probably hundreds of Inferi in the fluorescent covered area.

The entire lake is so big that you can't see the edge. Ivan desperately hopes that most of the Inferi in the entire lake will be attracted here. Otherwise, the number of Inferi will be even more terrifying than he imagined.

Hundreds or thousands?

Or

Ivan didn't dare to think about it anymore. It was a number that he couldn't accept.

After calming down a little, Ivan thought of something again, turned to look at Sirius and Lupin, and said apologetically.

"I'm sorry. It seems that I was careless just now. I rashly illuminated the lake and alerted them."

"No, I don't blame you! It's not the problem of the light. We are still maintaining the effect of the lighting spell, but they haven't come close. This means that it is not the light that attracted their attention." Sirius shook his head stiffly, calmly analyzed.

"It should be because we have too many people coming in!"

Lupine's voice rang out, and he took over Sirius's words and continued. "Kreacher told us that he once accompanied Voldemort and Regulus in. At that time, there was no movement from the Inferi at the bottom of the lake."

"So two people are safe. This is the limit set by Voldemort. An intruder brings a victim!" Ivan speculated while mobilizing the memory in his mind.

Voldemort definitely didn't want anyone to steal his Horcrux, but considering the possibility of transferring the Horcrux in the future, some restrictions must be relaxed, such as allowing two people to come in!

If the number of intruders exceeds this limit, the huge tide of Inferi will swamp all the intruders.

But thanks to Kreacher, they knew the situation here in advance, prepared the corresponding magic potion, blocked their own vitality, and allowed the Inferi under the water to sense that the number of living creatures on the shore was zero, and then fell silent again.

"Yes, that's probably it!" Sirius nodded, but remembering what happened to Regulus, he hesitated and said again.

"I think it's not safe even for two people to come in, because Regulus was dragged into the water in the end. That means that once someone drinks the potion placed in the center, the Inferi will become restless and attack everyone who comes close. creatures of the water, and capsize their ships!”

What a desperate sight it would be to be on an isolated island in the middle of the lake with a potion-drunk dragger facing hundreds or even thousands of Inferi, not to mention that normal intruders would have to paddle out in a small boat. , fighting the Inferi on the lake!

Thinking of this, Ivan was grateful that he didn't have to do such a dangerous thing.

Although what they are going to do now may be more dangerous than this

While the three of them were roughly analyzing the various restrictions in the cave, Kreacher was also trying hard to remember how to raise the boat.

The old house elf walked around in circles, and finally stopped on the bank on the right, looking around blankly.

"The ship should be nearby, gentlemen! That chain may be invisible, and Kreacher can't see it!" Kreacher reached out and grabbed it in the void, but it was possible that it was too short and could not reach it at all. Less than.

"Aparecium~" Sirius raised his wand and waved it. The magic wave spread from the tip of the wand in all directions. The water on the lake rippled slightly, but nothing happened.

"The magic set by Voldemort himself must not be broken that easily! Let's look carefully!" Lu Ping shook his head and raised his hand to move in the air, looking for the chain hidden in the void.

Ivan also stepped forward to help, but found nothing, which made him frown, wondering whether their blindly pondering method was right.

What did Dumbledore do in the original time and space? Grab the chain in the void and pull it out?

But how should we catch it?

After many years, Ivan's memory in this area has become somewhat fragmented. If he hadn't practiced Occlumency and could sort out his memories on his own, he would have almost forgotten it.

Moreover, Dumbledore's magic level is very high. What he can do, he may not be able to do.

No, that's not right! How did Regulus raise the boat?

Ivan thought about it and felt that it shouldn't be that difficult. Regulus couldn't be stronger than them. He must have overlooked something.

With a thought in his mind, Ivan tried to attach magic power to his hand and continued to explore as before. After a moment, his palm touched a cold, long, and very hard object.

"Found it!" Ivan called out to stop Sirius and Lupine who were still looking, and then pulled hard with both hands.

There was a tinkling sound in the void, which was the sound of the chain stretching across the surface of the earth for the last time. Then a thick green copper chain suddenly emerged from the depths of the lake and wrapped around Ivan's arm like a snake. .

Ivan struggled back step by step to prepare to pull the boat out. His expression was very difficult, his face changed, and he almost let go, because he noticed that his magic power was being quickly devoured.

Sirius and Lupine hurriedly followed Ivan's example, attached magic power to their hands, and tried to pull the chain to help, but they soon found that they could not pull it at all, and no matter how hard they tried, it was of no avail.

"Don't waste your efforts, it will only absorb my magic power!" Ivan sighed, guessing the operating mechanism of the ship.

Since so much magic power has been lost, all previous efforts cannot be wasted. Ivan simply pulled the chain hard again, and a large amount of magic power was poured into the rusty copper chain from the place where his palm touched.

When nearly half of the magic power was consumed, the chain shook violently and pulled something up from the bottom of the dark lake.

It was a small boat. The bow of the boat suddenly emerged from the water like a ghost, and the hull of the boat also floated like a chain, glowing green and floating toward them.

The strange thing is that the Black Lake is still calm and calm, as if the ship does not exist and is just their illusion.
