Chapter 438 People in the Murals and the Mural World

Andy walked to an iron door and threw the light ball of the fluorescent spell into the small window.

The room was immediately illuminated by the light ball.

"It's a cell..."

Andy was a little surprised, "If it's just a cell, why is it blocked here?"

He pointed the magic wand at the door lock of the iron door, and with a light "click", the iron door opened immediately.

Andy opened the iron door and walked in.

This is a very ordinary cell. There is nothing on the walls except a few chains.

After Andy looked around the room, he walked out of the cell with a look of disinterest and locked the iron door again.

Walking all the way to the end of the corridor, Andy finally found a different room - that is the room at the end of the corridor.

Creaking——

Opening the iron door, Andy threw the light ball of the fluorescent spell in.

"It's a laboratory!"

As the room was illuminated, Andy also saw the furnishings and layout inside.

The room is very large, at least more than 200 square meters.

Some of the things inside should have been moved away, but some were left behind.

There are five rectangular iron beds in the middle of the room, and there are some handcuffs on the iron beds. Judging from the position of these handcuffs, people's limbs and necks can be fixed on them.

There is also a rectangular wooden table at the innermost part of the room, but there is nothing on it.

Andy guessed that Axtis would brew potions, take notes, or do some other magic experiments on that wooden table.

There are all kinds of cabinets around the room, but there is nothing in the cabinets except some empty bottles.

"Is that all?" Andy frowned slightly.

If there are only these things in the basement, why did the Ministry of Magic seal it off instead of using it?

"Did I overlook something?" Andy walked around the room several times, but still found nothing.

Azkaban has been a wizard prison for hundreds of years. When the Ministry of Magic renovated it, it should have moved away everything that could be moved.

But they sealed the basement!

"This means that there must be secrets in the basement."

"It's just that these secrets cannot be moved, but they can't be destroyed either. The Ministry of Magic sealed the basement to hide these secrets."

"Is it a secret room?"

Andy carefully checked the cabinets around the room.

If there is a secret room here, then the location of the secret room is likely to be behind a cabinet.

"Trace visible!"

Andy chanted a spell and turned his wand around.

A pale golden magic light sprinkled down, and a mess of footprints suddenly appeared on the ground.

Among these chaotic footprints, some footprints walked towards the right side of the room in an orderly manner, and then disappeared behind the cabinet on the right.

Andy came to the cabinet on the right side of the room and put his wand on the cabinet for careful inspection.

"Thank you Ministry of Magic!"

Because the Ministry of Magic has already explored this place, the original defensive magic here has long been destroyed by the Ministry of Magic-there is indeed a secret room behind the cabinet, but it is very simple to open it.

"Open!"

Andy pointed his wand lightly, and the cabinet began to move to both sides. The bricks and stones on the wall seemed to come alive, spreading to both sides piece by piece.

When everything calmed down, a passage more than three meters high appeared on the wall in front of Andy.

Andy threw the light ball of the fluorescent spell into it.

At the end of the passage was a secret room.

Unlike the laboratory outside, the secret room was empty and there was nothing inside, but there were a lot of murals painted on the walls and roof of the secret room.

"Murals?"

Andy immediately realized that the reason why the Ministry of Magic blocked this place might be because of these murals.

"Who came in?"

"Turn off your lights quickly, or we will eat you!"

"Did you hear me? I'm talking to you!"

The light ball of the fluorescent spell immediately blew up these murals.

The 'people' on the murals obviously hadn't seen the light for a long time. Andy saw the 'people' on the murals covering their eyes and scolding Andy.

Andy was relieved immediately.

If it was just a mural, there would be nothing to be afraid of.

Andy was about to go in and visit these murals, and by the way, have a good exchange with the "people" in the murals to see if he could get the secret of Extis.

But when Andy walked to the end of the passage and was about to enter the secret room, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Andy stopped immediately!

If a person who has been in darkness for a long time suddenly encounters the stimulation of strong light, this situation will indeed occur.

The "people" in the paintings are the same!

The paintings in the magic world are moving, and the characters in the paintings can even go to other paintings. They have thoughts, hobbies, and normal work and rest time.

If you use the light of the fluorescent spell to disturb the sleep of the "people" in the portraits when you are wandering around Hogwarts at night, they will also scold you.

But this is just an appearance!

From a certain perspective, these paintings are the two-dimensional world created by wizards-in the eyes of the "people" in the paintings, the place where they live is no different from the real world.

If there is sun, light, or fire in a painting, then the characters in the painting can feel the light.

And now it is morning, not the night for "sleeping".

So it stands to reason that the ‘people’ in the murals should move around in places with light… they shouldn’t be afraid of the glare of light.

Andy stood at the entrance and took a close look at the murals in the secret room.

After all, it was a mural left by a dark wizard, and the style of the murals looked a bit cruel—Axtis drew his experimental process.

But even so, there was light in the murals!

Many murals have things like torches and oil lamps, and even in the wild at night, the stars and the moon in the sky look very bright.

So… they shouldn’t be stabbed in the eyes by the light ball of the fluorescent spell!

Seeing Andy stopped at the door, the characters in the murals spoke again.

"I haven't seen outsiders for a long time. Who are you?"

"Are you invisible? Brother, come and say hello to us. We are almost bored to death."

"Show yourself, I can tell you some secrets."

"Yes, come in and talk to us! We know a lot of secrets and can tell you."

Because Andy used the Disillusionment Spell, the 'people' in the murals could only see the light of the Luminous Spell, but could not see who came in.

Andy has become alert.

At first, these 'people' in the murals wanted to pretend that they were normal. But now... their intention to lure Andy in is obvious.

"If you keep your mouth shut from the beginning, maybe the effect will be better." Andy said lightly.
