Chapter 505 The Restrictions on Crossing the Lake and the Evil Taste of the Dark Lord

Seeing that the ship finally rose, Ivan breathed a sigh of relief and loosened the chain, but then he sensed the magic power in his body and his face darkened again.

"How's it going? Are you okay, Ivan?" Sirius said worriedly.

"I'm fine, I just consumed half of my magic power!" Ivan shook his head and explained.

In the original time and space, Dumbledore was right. Voldemort expected the intruder to make corresponding sacrifices at every step, weakening him layer by layer like a frog boiled in warm water, until he was finally unable to resist and drowned in the lake.

First, open the door to draw blood, which consumes a lot of physical strength and a small amount of magic power.

Then to raise the boat, half of the magic power needs to be consumed again. Finally, rowing all the way to the small island in the center, you have to face the problem of whether to drink the medicine or not.

Ivan could only sigh that Voldemort's evil taste was really extraordinary. It would be better to just give the intruder a happy ending.

A group of three of them plus two elves came in and shared the burden with each other. They were all in bad condition. It was hard to imagine how Regulus could persist through the whole process.

"Is this the ship? It doesn't look very strong. It won't sink halfway, right?" Lupine took a few steps forward and tapped it gently with his wand.

"Probably not! Voldemort must still be counting on him to come back in the future. I believe he doesn't want to fall into the lake halfway!" Ivan said.

Lupine and Sirius both nodded, feeling more reassured.

Ivan continued to speak. "As for the operating mechanism of this ship, I have already guessed a bit. It has absorbed half of my magic power for operation. According to our judgment just now, two of me can probably sit on it!"

"Two of you? This is not good news. How much do you weigh?" Sirius frowned.

"I mean magic power!" Ivan rolled his eyes angrily, "Voldemort doesn't consider weight! He only considers how much magic power crosses the Black Lake! And my magic power is no less than that of an adult wizard, so this ship The boat can accommodate two adult wizards crossing the lake together."

Ivan thought that when the copper chain absorbed his magic power and supplied the ship with operation, it was also measuring how much magic power he had!

According to the rules, each person brings one victim, so there must be two summonses in exchange, so that Regulus can board the ship with Kreacher, who has the same magic power as him.

There is probably a limit to the amount of magic power that can be absorbed. If it were Dumbledore, he would definitely not have had as much as half of the magic power taken away.

But correspondingly, the boat couldn't fit two of them, so the old professor misjudged that the boat was specifically for one person.

In the end, Dumbledore was able to take Harry on the boat with him entirely because Harry's magic power was nothing compared to the magic power he sacrificed.

"That means only two people can get on the boat, and the others must stay here?" Sirius's expression was not very good.

"That's how it should be. Anyway, let me go with you! Professor Luping just bled a lot of blood. It would be difficult if he loses his strength when we go into the lake. It would be better to stay on the shore to support us." Ivan explained. With.

Even if he loses a lot of magic power, it will not affect his combat effectiveness. It can only be said that his endurance is slightly worse.

But Lu Ping was different. The amount of blood consumed by opening the door was probably thousands of milliliters. In this state, let alone salvaging the body, it would be good if it was not fished out.

"Is there no other way to cross the lake?" Lu Ping was also very aware of his physical condition, but he didn't trust Ivan to handle this dangerous matter.

He looked at the black lake in front of him with some reluctance, wondering if he could transform into another boat.

"I'm afraid ordinary ships can't sail on it, but we can try this!" Ivan thought for a while and waved his wand at a black rock on the shore.

The hard rock suddenly softened, changing its shape as if being kneaded by an invisible hand.

A moment later, a strong eagle appeared in front of everyone. It let out a low cry, then flapped its wings vigorously and flew towards the center of the black lake.

Sirius, who had seen Ivan's Animagus form, immediately guessed what he meant. If he could fly across the lake, then Ivan could transform into an owl and follow the boat, leaving an empty space for one more person!

The majestic eagle flew over the lake, and there seemed to be no danger in the sky.

However, before everyone could be happy, they saw the eagle suddenly plunge into the water. After a few hard flutters, it was grabbed by several hands extending from the water and dragged into the dark lake.

Looking at this scene, the corners of Ivan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

He was very sure that the forbidden air magic was applied there, but was insidiously applied to the second half of the lake. If anyone thought they could sneak across with a broomstick without taking a boat, they would definitely fall into the lake halfway.

"Well, it seems that Voldemort has not left any loopholes for us to exploit." Sirius sighed helplessly, and then stepped onto the boat.

The ship immediately sank nearly half. After Ivan got on the ship, it sank a little again, but it seemed that there was still a little room left.

Ivan discovered this keenly, and after thinking about it, he realized that it was because he had consumed half of his magic power just now, so some positions were freed up.

Thinking of this, he looked at the old house elf on the shore and said. "Kreacher, how much magic power do you still have now? If it's less than half, you can come up and try!"

"Isn't this too risky?" Lupine wanted to stop him, but Kreacher had already climbed on, and the ship swayed a few times, but did not sink.

"Just right, just as I thought!" Ivan was not surprised at all. Kreacher had used apparation many times before, and it was still the kind with two people. It would be good if he still had one-third of his magic power left. .

Lupine shook his head and did not agree with Ivan's risky behavior, but he still reminded him before they set off.

"Ivan, as your former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, I must give you a test. What should we do if we encounter an Inferi?"

"Use the fire spell!" Ivan thought for a while and replied.

"Yes, you have always been very smart, Hals! The Inferi are afraid of light and heat!" Lupine laughed.

"But I guess that doesn't help, you can't expect me to summon fire underwater," Ivan complained.

Lupine's expression became a little embarrassed.

The boat carrying the two people and the elf had slowly started to move towards the center of the lake. When Ivan took out his pocket, he realized that he had forgotten something for Lupin, and he immediately shouted to him. With a sound, he threw the reagent bottle over.

Lupine hurriedly reached out and took it. He looked down and saw that it was a bottle of brown potion. Just as he was wondering, he heard Ivan's voice coming from a distance.

"If you are in danger, drink this potion and transform into a werewolf!"
