Chapter 911 The Room that Keeps Repeating
Ivan realized something was wrong as soon as he stepped through the door, because the scene in the room was completely different from what he expected. It was a square room with only three doors corresponding to three directions in addition to the walls.
He had stayed in Nicolas Flamel's house for many months and had never seen a room like this.
Is it some kind of special defense mechanism?
Ivan thought silently.
However, time was limited, and Ivan did not dare to delay for too long. After spending more than ten seconds of observation, he tentatively opened the door on the right.
There was a long corridor ahead, and at the end of the corridor was another door. Ivan quickly walked in, and after opening the door, he was shocked to find that it was another empty room except for the door. s room.
Ivan had an unknown premonition in his heart, so he tried to choose a door again and opened it like before. Sure enough, there was a long and narrow corridor in front of him.
After trying this for several minutes, Ivan's brows frowned more and more. He found that this place seemed to be an endless loop of space. No matter which door he opened, the scene behind it was the same.
If it weren't for the annoying magic traps and guards in some of the rooms, Ivan would have doubted whether he was back to where he started.
After wandering around for a while, Ivan forced himself to calm down. No matter how anxious he was now, it would not help, but would only be a waste of effort.
"What is the pattern?" Ivan looked around the room of about thirty square meters in front of him, staring at the four doors on the front, back, left, and right for a long time, trying to find some clues, but no matter how he looked at them, the doors were exactly the same. .
Is it possible that there are no rules at all, everything is random, and whether you can get out depends entirely on luck?
Or is it that in order to not be disturbed after death, Nico Flamel did not set up a so-called exit at all, and planned to kill the enemy in the repeated room?
Many thoughts flashed through Ivan's mind. If this were the case, wouldn't he be able to get out?
Of course, there is also a more extreme cracking method, which is to directly blow up these rooms and see if you can find an exit.
However, this would most likely cause the independent space created by Nico Flamel's magic to completely collapse, burying everything together.
"As long as you cast a spell, it will inevitably leave traces of magic power..." Ivan murmured to himself, trying to sense it with his eyes closed, and the free magic power was like tentacles, gradually covering the entire room.
Under the magic induction, Ivan discovered that all the rooms were actually illusory magical creations, and they were connected to each other by some kind of power.
Realizing this, Ivan tried to enter the second, third, and fourth rooms again, and soon discovered the subtle differences between them. This difference was not on the surface, but on the magical level. of.
In easy-to-understand terms, the place he is in is like a huge maze, and magic has given each room a different number. If he can figure out the order of these numbers, he can find the exit. Location!
Realizing this, Ivan regrouped and began exploring the countless rooms and corridors.
Due to his training in Legilimency and Occlumency, Ivan's memory is far beyond that of ordinary people. He can clearly remember every door he has opened, and use this to construct a three-dimensional image of the entire "maze" in his mind. .
Just when Ivan opened the 42nd door, the living room in his memory finally appeared in front of him.
Ivan, who was tortured to the point of collapse by the maze, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, a warning sign suddenly surged in his heart, and the knight statue with only half of its body on the ground struck at him with a long sword without any warning.
The heavy stone sword slashed across at an unimaginable speed. Ivan only heard a harsh whistling sound, and the long sword was already close in front of him. It penetrated straight from the shoulder and split his entire body in half!
But the strange thing is that there is no blood flowing out from the cut wound. Ivan's separated body quickly disintegrates into flames and then gathers together again.
"Reducto~ (Shattered to pieces)" Ivan, who had dodged the attack, waved his wand with his backhand, and a brilliant magical beam instantly blew the knight statue into pieces.
"The magic guards left by the teacher are really merciless..." Ivan said with emotion, and looked around. There were also traces of invasion here, with broken statues and destroyed magic traps everywhere. Half of the spiral staircase leading to the second floor was blown up.
This meant that Grindelwald had passed here, and Ivan's heart suddenly lifted. While praying that the magical protection left by Nico Flamel could withstand one or two, he climbed the stairs as quickly as possible, looking for Looking at Grindelwald's figure.
Several rooms on the second floor were empty, and the beds and cabinets inside had disappeared. Grindelwald probably used some method to erase all irrelevant things in order to find the Resurrection Stone.
Ivan could only cast his gaze on the room at the end of the corridor. Nico Flamel had asked him not to open it, but now he didn't care so much.
Gently opening the door, the room was very dark, but the space was wider than expected. At first glance, it looked like a solemn auditorium.
Golden-red torches burned blazingly on both sides, extending to the high platform at the end of the room, where two pure white coffins were placed. Ivan didn't need to think about it to know that the people lying in the coffins must be Nico Flamel and his wife.
Grindelwald was standing under the high platform at the moment, staring at the rhombus crystal embedded on the opposite wall, but he did not take it rashly, because there was a cleverly set magic barrier in front of him, which was quite difficult even for him. For troublesome.
The Divine Edge is Shadowless...
Ivan had no intention of saying hello. Taking advantage of Grindelwald's distraction, Ivan silently cast a spell and raised his hand for a killing move!
The invisible magic blade streaked through the air, piercing directly into Grindelwald's brain... Just before it was about to hit, the latter tilted his head sharply, dodging narrowly and narrowly.
The magic blade directly hit the magic barrier behind, but failed to cause any ripples...
"Ivan Hals..." Grindelwald turned his head, looked at Ivan who walked in step by step, and said indifferently. "I didn't expect you to come to France."
"Of course I will be here, Nico Flamel is my teacher, and this is his cemetery!" Ivan's tone was very unkind. Compared to the so-called Resurrection Stone, he was more angry that the other party disturbed Nico- Flamel's sleep.
