Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 354 The Old Man by the Lava Lake

() There is a tunnel that widens from narrow to deep underground.The five people including Maca were all in stealth, flying under the top wall of the tunnel.

In order to prevent the corners of the clothes from swaying due to the airflow, everyone quietly wrapped their robes around them.

At the beginning they could still see that the four car tracks in the middle of the corridor extend side by side down.

But as it continued to deepen, the tunnel gradually turned into a wide cave-the traces of manual excavation seemed to be slowly disappearing.

Soon, the four columns of orbits were scattered, each extending a completely different arc.

This is a natural underground cave, and judging from the naked eye, the depth of this cave is by no means ordinary.

In this cave, there are strangely shaped stalagmites, stone pillars and stalactites everywhere.The car track stretched around between the rugged rocks, slowly circling deeper.

On the stone wall of the cave, there are densely inlaid metal doors, layered on top of each other, and the lower the door, the larger the model. People can't help but want to see how spectacular the bottom door will be.

"That's right, it's here! The place where Snape's Pantheon saw it should be at the bottom of this cave!"

Lupin accelerated from the middle of the flight queue and leaned against Maca.

"Really? How deep is it?"

Because the cave is not straight, it is impossible to see the situation underneath at a glance.

"I don't know, Snape just said, it's bright below!"

"Very bright?"

Maca nodded, and greeted everyone with an accelerated dive.

At first, everyone felt the colder the more they descended. The cold wind cut the cheeks like a knife, making people unable to open their eyes; but after flying over a certain depth, the surrounding temperature gradually increased. stand up.

When Maca walked around a section of stone pillar platform again and fell straight down on the magic book, he finally understood what the "very bright" just meant.

It's really bright, and it's so bright!

Under this cave, there is a lava lake with no place to stand.The tumbling magma exudes orange-white light, and it is gurgling with bubbles of all sizes.

Occasionally, I could see a few salamanders popping out of it, and a small string of sparks spewed out between the telescopic tongue.

The more you go down, the more you can feel the heat in the air rising sharply; although there is still some distance from the bottom, there is already a pungent smell of sulfur between the nose and mouth.

"Stop! Be careful, the fire spell can't make us swim in the lava!" Maca turned around and shouted.

When he finished speaking, he lowered his head to examine it carefully.

In fact, there is no treasury on the way. Of course, the track has already reached its end.

The surrounding cave walls are vertically downward and have been immersed in magma, which makes people feel that this is a stone crucible filled with syrup.

"It seems... there is nothing here?" Tonks on the side followed the probe and looked down, but found nothing.

"Hmm... here is all magma, the magic is too manic, it doesn't seem to make any sense just here." Maca frowned, and took out the other staff again. "Lupin and I go down to check first. Be vigilant here, remember to pay attention to the above."

After that, he and Lupin looked at each other, and then descended at the same time.

As it continued to approach, the amazing temperature of the magma even produced a burning sensation on the exposed skin, as if it would spontaneously ignite in the next second.

If this continues, I am afraid that even the surface of the magma lake will be inaccessible.

As a last resort, Maca waved his staff, and the regular runes on the surface of the stone inlaid on the top of the staff suddenly lit up, and the surrounding temperature immediately dropped.

"It's not bad, can it be cool in summer, too?" Lu Ping asked jokingly.

"It's too extravagant to use this to enjoy the cool-"

Before Maca finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed Lupin's clothes, and then suddenly pulled up more than 10 feet.

Almost at the same time, a giant lava hand protruded from the surface of the magma lake, and it passed under Lupin's feet dangerously, melting away the flying broomstick that Lupin had left behind.

"It seems we don't need to find it ourselves."

Maca stared at the cave that suddenly appeared on the rock wall on the side of the magma lake, then took out a broom from his waist and stuffed it into Lupin's hand.

After Lu Ping sat back on the flying broomstick again, Maca released the hand that had been holding his clothes tightly and shook it gently.

"You go up and watch the game with everyone. If the other party has a helper, I will trouble you."

Luping paused, but did not move.

"Or I'll stay..." he asked.

Maca immediately interrupted Lupin. He didn't even look away from the hole, just reached out and pushed Lupin.

"The guy who just did it is not easy, you can't deal with it." He said without looking back, "Come on, stay away from here."

Lupin hesitated again, and after all he lifted the broomstick up high.

Someone hiding in the cave seemed to be aware of Lupin's movements. The magma lake underneath surging again, and then several lava flew up and directed towards Lupin's direction.

Maca immediately waved his staff, but a blast of cold air turned around, and the red lava suddenly dropped in temperature, and in a blink of an eye it cooled into black stone balls.

"Bone to pieces!"

Without having to use Maca, Mrs. Weasley, who had been paying attention to the bottom, cast a few smashing spells at the right time, blasting the stone balls with the big head to pieces.

Maca is certainly not the kind of person who can only counterattack. Just as the opponent was manipulating the lava ball, the magic text on his staff suddenly flashed, and he also controlled a large swath of magma and plunged into the cave like a wave. Go in.

Just when the piece of magma was about to rush into the cave, the rock wall suddenly shook, and then burst out in a very timely manner, closing the cave again.

The lava waves slammed against the closed rock wall, splashing several feet high, and a hot golden-red glow burst out as the sparks flew.

This tentative fight is undoubtedly just the beginning for both sides, but the mere temptation has such a momentum, which makes Lu Ping who watch the match from above feel terrified.

"Since you have such strength, why don't you show up?" Maca shouted, standing on the magic book, "At least you should let me know who you are fighting with? This is a duel. Etiquette!"

"What? Isn't it Voldemort?" After hearing Maca's call, Lupin couldn't help but be surprised.

After a period of silence, the originally sealed cave suddenly exploded.Accompanied by the sound of rumbling, a stone bridge stretched out of thin air on the vertical rock wall.

Afterwards, a middle-aged man with luxurious clothes and a handsome face walked out slowly and gently stood still at the end of the stone bridge.

When Maca saw the appearance of the other party, first was a moment of doubt, and then, he suddenly widened his eyes, showing an expression of astonishment.

"...Blois... sir?"

"Huh?" The other party stared at Maca's face for a while, then started to ponder slightly, "Have we met?"

"Mr. Blois, I’m Villy’s classmate-Maca McLean," Maca pointed to his nose, "Remember? At the end of the second grade, I went to your house for a while. Yeah!"

"McLean..."

Mr. Blois thought for a while, seeming to remember something, and nodded reservedly.

"Well, you have grown up."

As Maca remembers, the father of Wei Li hasn't changed much.Although he looks very handsome, he always looks unsmiling, which makes people feel a little cold.

"Mr. Blois, why are you... why are you here?"

It was not a time for small talk, although he had speculated that Wei Li was very likely to be here, but when Wei Li's father unexpectedly appeared on the scene, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

It was originally estimated to be bad, but now I am afraid it will get worse.

"Of course I have my reasons." Mr. Blois said calmly.

Seeing the other party didn't seem to want to say much, Maca couldn't help but get into trouble.

"Mr. Blois, I just want to know, do you... have anything to do with Voldemort?" He frowned and asked questioningly, "What conditions did Voldemort offer to get your help? "

Mr. Blois didn't answer any more, he just shook his head blankly.

Tricky!Very tricky!

The biggest headache for Maca is to fight against acquaintances, especially the father of Wei Li.He had already made up his mind to believe in Willie, but now it seems that even Willie's father is on Voldemort's side.

He really wanted to ask to understand immediately, so as not to have to fight in a silly fight after a while, maybe after the fight, he will find that this itself is a misunderstanding.

And, more importantly--

"Then Mr. Blois, please answer me at least this question—"

Macka paused and took a deep breath, the warm smell of sulfur spreading between his mouth and nose.I don't know if it was because of the high temperature here, or because of his uneasy mood, there was a sudden heat in his chest.

"Villy is... okay?" Maca asked seriously.

As if feeling the pure and sincere concern in Maca's tone, Mr. Blois's serious and tight expression was slightly loosened, and there was a vague hint of inexplicable meaning in his eyes looking at Maca.

During the period when Maca was a guest at Fort Blois, although he didn't have many opportunities to contact his daughter's classmate, the few dinners together still left some impression on him.

So far, my daughter has only brought one classmate home-and that classmate is the young man named "Maca McLean" in front of me.
