Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

In the south of England, there is a river that cuts into the land from the Solent Strait and winds from south to north until it passes through Winchester before turning to the east and gradually weakening.

This river is called Yiqin River.

To be honest, this river is actually not long, and it is not too famous. It is not even ranked in the UK, which has many rivers.

But this time, its existence happened to bring great convenience to Hermione and her party's itinerary.

"Let's go into the water."

After re-entering the mist along the river, as more and more corpses were encountered, Hermione decided to start driving down the water.

The flowing river water will naturally hinder the movement of the living corpses, so there are not too many enemies underwater.As long as the breathing problem is ensured, safety will be greatly improved immediately.

And to talk about breathing underwater... to Hermione and the others today, it was obviously just a small matter.

After all the members of the team, including Harry, also put the head-foaming spell on them, everyone put away their broomsticks and sank into the water of the Yichen River.

In fact, the weather has been very warm recently, but unfortunately the sun has not been seen for too long in the UK, and the temperature has been very low.Right now the big guy was soaking in the water, he couldn't help shivering.

However, after experiencing the previous near-fatal crisis, it seemed that it was nothing to worry about the horror of death on the battlefield at any time than fighting hard.

"Puff Lulu..."

Hermione with a big bubble wrapped around her head turned to look at Harry. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she made a "go" gesture at the friends.

The next moment, she waved her magic wand and pointed behind her.

"Boom!"

As a stream of air exploded from the tip of her rod, she leaped forward violently. Although the speed was much slower than the flying broomstick, it was at least much better than swimming herself.

When everyone saw this, they all learned to follow her, rushing along the river to Winchester in the north.

...

"Wow!"

When Hermione and the others didn't know how many times they surfaced to reapply the Bubble Head Charm, the sky had gradually turned dark.Looking out from the left and right in the middle of the river, the surrounding space became drowsy again, and I couldn't see far.

"You stay here slowly, I'll go to the shore to take a look."

Hermione panted slightly, paddling the water and swam slowly towards the river.And as she gradually approached the river bank, a large shadow in the shadow of the dense fog came into her eyes again.

The density of living corpses here is already quite high, even higher than when they were besieged by a large group of living corpses on Downton.It’s by no means a good choice to go ashore here to look for signs that can be identified.

Hermione didn't even dare to get too close to the shore, because those living corpses were very sensitive to the fluctuations of the magical power of living people, and once they approached, they might be noticed at any time.

Fortunately, she soon discovered that she had good luck this time, because the bank was a road along the river, and there was a street sign not far in front.

"Here! Winchester ahead!"

When Hermione was barely recognizing a few letters on the street sign, her tired face suddenly showed a look of joy-even if she was traveling under the water by a spell, but in order to maintain balance in the water, so far The journey still takes a lot of physical strength.

"Go ahead, and when you really enter the area near the ancient city of Winchester, the number of living corpses will be greatly reduced." Neville, who also swam over, said, "This was the case when we came over last time— -Maca has sent people to empty all the living corpses in the ancient city, and there are patrols of wizards who can manipulate black flames everywhere, and soon we will be completely safe."

"Ok."

Hermione nodded, and then followed Neville back to the middle of the river, beckoning everyone to move on.

However, when they emerged from the water again, Hermione found that the situation did not seem to be exactly what Neville said...

"Here...should you have reached the ancient city area?" Hermione supported the rocks on the riverside and looked at the shore a few more times, but suddenly felt a horror, "What are those?"

That's right, there really seems to be many figures walking and patrolling on the shore, but...Black Flame Wizard?No, no, those guys who can use black flames to defend against enemies may seem a little weird, but Hermione has heard from Harry that, except in battle, they usually express themselves as normal people.

However, the figures on the shore have a humanoid posture even if they are for the time being, even though they cannot see the concrete appearance through the mist.But the very stiff and weird walking posture of those "human figures" made Hermione look like a human in no way.

To be honest, Hermione felt that the living corpses outside looked more like people than the guys above!

After hesitating for a while by the river, she quietly returned to her companion and told everyone what she had seen.

"...Have you seen the puppets? Honestly, after seeing the figures on the shore, the first thing I thought of was the puppets controlled by the puppeteer."

The friends who have faced too many terrible realities today will naturally not have much fear of this scene.

It's just that when I thought that this place should be Maca's territory, and some of them had just come here not long ago.This time I came again, but such a big and very strange change has taken place, which makes everyone very uneasy.

"Oh! What the hell is Maca doing here!" Ron wiped the cold river water on his face and muttered in a low voice, "Last time I came in'lying down', but I saw a lot. Something...I think, in fact, those Black Flames are scary enough-all of them look like dead people. This time...Hermione, what did you just say? Doll?"

However, Neville on the side shook his head and said:

"Actually! I think it should be okay... Anyway, this must be the site of Maca, which will never change? When I came before, I thought that he should be here for a long time. Yes-and as long as this is the place of Maca, we don't have to worry too much."

"Ok……"

When Hermione heard the words, she couldn't help but nodded, she said after pondering for a moment:

"Yes! And, we are all here, we have to go up and see-so let's go! Neville, you protect everyone here, I will go ashore and try it out."

After all, she saw other people still talking, and immediately waved her hand to indicate that she didn't need to say more.

"give it to me."
