Chapter 212 The Upcoming Challenge

"Kreacher, Regulus..." Sirius said sadly.

"Yes, Master Regulus drank the green liquid here." Kreacher said while wiping away tears, "Kreacher should have done this, that's how the Dark Lord is. Asked for Kreacher, but Master Regulus disagreed, he let Kreacher go home alive, he drank those potions himself, how kind and merciful he is..."

While talking, Kreacher suddenly cried out loud.

Ever since he set foot on this island, tears have been rolling in his eyes. Now that he heard Dumbledore's evaluation of Regulus and recalled what happened that year, he finally couldn't help but burst out, with tears, He punished himself crazily and slammed his head to the ground.

The scene was chaotic, and Sirius and Hermione hurried over to stop him.

"Professor!" Looking at the out-of-control Kreacher, Harry's face was full of panic, he hesitated for a while, and continued to ask, "But if, I mean if, one of us drank the liquid, what would happen? What? Will it be poisoned to death?"

"I'm sure it wouldn't have that effect," said Dumbledore lightly. "Voldemort wouldn't be willing to poison anyone who came to this island."

Harry blinked, he couldn't believe it, could it be that Dumbledore was so absurdly looking for the best of people again? !

"Professor!" Harry tried to sound reasonable, "We are facing Voldemort..."

"I'm sorry, Harry! I should have said that he would not be willing to kill anyone who came to this island immediately." Dumbledore corrected himself. "He will let them live for a while and find out how they are. To be able to get past his defenses, and most importantly, to find out why they were so eager to empty the stone basin. Don't you forget that Voldemort believed that he alone knew about his Horcruxes."

Harry tried to speak, but Dumbledore held up a hand to silence him. He frowned slightly at the emerald green liquid, obviously thinking hard about something.

"There is no doubt." Dumbledore finally said, "This potion will definitely prevent us from obtaining Horcruxes. From Kreacher's description, we can deduce that this potion will probably paralyze the person who takes it, making it forget me. came here for the purpose and were in excruciating pain, unable to concentrate, or otherwise incapacitated."

"They will feel as if their internal organs are on fire, and they will want to drink water. The only place with water around them is the lake in front of them." Ai Wen then added, "But the lake is full of corpses, and the water in the lake is also Bewitched by black magic..."

"What if you conjure water by magic?" Harry asked.

"It won't work. Voldemort has planned it all. There is only one way to get water on this island. If you don't believe me, we can try it." Ivan took out his wand and said softly, "Clear water is like a spring! "

Clear water rose from the end of his wand and fell to the ground in a splash, but disappeared in an instant.

The water that fell on the ground evaporated strangely, at an astonishingly fast speed. Moreover, there seems to be an invisible force coming from the ground from bottom to top, and the clear water that is spewing out from the end of the wand in Ivan's hand flows back quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Clear water is like a spring, clear water is like a spring!" He shouted hastily.

Aiwen increased the magic power output, but it didn't have much effect. The water flow at the end of the wand became smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely.

He could feel an invisible force preventing himself from using this magic.

Harry looked at what was happening in front of him in surprise, and he tried it with his own wand, and the final result was exactly the same as Ivan just now.

"Good reasoning, good reasoning." After seeing Ivan and Harry's experiment, Dumbledore appreciated, "You two have very good ideas, this is probably a mechanism designed by Voldemort, and you want to get Horcruxes It is necessary to drink the potion in the stone basin. After taking the potion, you will be extremely heartburning and thirsty, and want to drink water. However, as we have just seen, spells such as clear water like a spring have been banned here Well, there is only one way to get water, and that is the lake, and those who are close to the lake will be dragged into it by the corpses inside, just like Regulus did back then..."

Everyone listened to Dumbledore's description, and the horrible picture repeatedly appeared in their minds, and their faces were very bad.

Looking at this eerie and weird island, surrounded by the depressingly silent black lake, and the floating corpses that appeared on the lake from time to time, the fear deep in everyone's hearts was awakened.

They seemed to see Regulus, that handsome boy of eighteen or nineteen, who was very imaginative of Sirius. He drank the potions in the stone basin here, and was dragged into the lake by the Yin Corpse. , suffocated in despair, to be one of them.

For the past thirteen years, his body has been immersed in the dark, cold water of the lake, restless, and this is the truth of his death.

The emotion of infinite sadness gradually spread, and everyone fell silent.

In the darkness, only Kreacher could hear a strange choking sound from time to time.

"In this lake, Regulus..." Sirius said sadly.

"We will find him, first we must lure those guys out of the lake." Dumbledore pulled out his wand, turned his head and said to Kreacher who had just calmed down, "Kreacher, please tell me that Regulus was killed Drag it into the location of the lake."

"Here, sir!" Kreacher wiped away his tears and walked to a place.

"Very well, you four are ready too, take out your wands!" Dumbledore said, "Sirius, you and Kreacher are responsible for finding Regulus; Ivan, Harry, Hermione, you three Someone who can stand behind me and help me deal with those ghosts."

Everyone concentrated, gripped their wands tightly, and looked at the lake nervously.

They're going to go head-to-head with the Inferi, and it's definitely not going to be a pleasant experience.

Ivan tightened the wand in his hand, his heart was beating like a drum. He saw Harry and Hermione standing beside him trembling slightly, their faces were pale, and there was no trace of blood in them.

For them, facing thousands of dead bodies at the same time, the pressure is too great.

Just thinking about it is enough to make you suffocate.

This was definitely a scene that would never be seen in school, except for the three of them, no little wizard would have such an experience.

Not to mention young wizards of their age, in fact, facing thousands of terrifying and bloody corpses at the same time is also a very difficult challenge for well-trained Aurors or business wizards like Sirius. Bullido can act as if nothing happened. (To be continued.)
