Felix saw a hazy green light, and he narrowed his eyes. The green light came from a stone basin similar to a Pensieve, and a base was attached to the bottom of the stone basin.

Under his feet were clusters of crystal-like stones, which were cluttered upside down on the ground, reflecting a faint light. Felix's eyes glanced around, surrounded by darkness that was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, and it was lifeless.

Sirius helped Kreacher up and raised his wand high. The light on the tip of his wand could only illuminate a small area, and even half of his face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see.

"We're deep into Voldemort's heart," Sirius said quickly, with a hint of excitement and revenge in his tone: "But the influence here is bigger, and magic doesn't work very well."

"It's some magic that doesn't work," Felix tilted his head, motioning him to look at Kreacher next to him, the house elf's fingertips lit up brighter, "It also gave me some inspiration..."

Felix extinguished the light of his wand and completely melted into the darkness. They were only a few feet apart, but Sirius couldn't see a single outline of him, and the silence was creepy, and the sense of danger kept coming.

He heard Felix make a strange sound, like some kind of language, with a strange rhythm and rhythm, and then he saw light. A large number of soft milky white rays of light bloomed from his eyes, leaving an insignificant dot in his eyes, but in an instant, the rays of light poured down, covering the earth, the air, and filling every inch of space within the line of sight.

This light is not dazzling, Sirius can even pass Felix and see the scene behind him, he can't help opening his mouth - it is the boundless, smooth lake surface, he subconsciously ignored it before, the lake water Hidden in the dark, calm and without waves, without the slightest ripple or sound, like a flat open space.

But the most surprising thing is the things in the lake water, the corpses! Body after body floated under the mirror-like surface of the lake, and he looked around. The nearest body was no more than three or four feet away, as if he could reach his feet.

Sirius could even see the corpse's pale face, like marble, wearing a brown shirt, blue or black pants... Sirius's heart became cold, and Regulus may have been dragged into this way. in water...

"Crash!"

The pitch-black lake made waves, and one hand stuck out, "Be careful! This is not a corpse, it's an army of Infernal corpses created by Voldemort!" Sirius stepped back and loudly reminded: "Also, many of them are Muggles... Damn, it's that village! He destroyed a village in order to get soldiers!"

Before Sirius could curse, he raised his wand, ready to fight back. It is not an easy task to be careful not to accidentally injure Regulus's body when he is limited by himself.

But Felix said calmly: "It looks like they don't intend to attack us." Sure enough, these Infernal corpses did not climb up the island in the middle of the lake, but kept moving away from them, to be precise, away from Felix Light source in hand.

"Afraid of light and fire, these are the characteristics of the Infernal Corpse, and Voldemort will definitely limit these two types of magic, plus the inability to Apparate, it is really a good move..."

Felix said: "But just like he didn't think about house-elves magic, Voldemort didn't think about ancient magic that relied on Rune, of course - maybe he thought about it but couldn't limit it."

Felix stoked his hands and let a round white light ball slowly rise. The cave they were in was very high, and they couldn't see the top of the cave when they looked up, so the white light ball simply rose to the highest point, like the sun. , cast a warm light.

The dark trap devised by Voldemort failed. Light and darkness intertwined, and finally drove out the darkness, and the whole cave was as bright as day.

At this time, they also completely saw everything around them - they were standing on a small island in the middle of the lake, the island was surrounded by a large black lake, but the black lake had been illuminated transparently and brightly.

Hundreds of thousands of Infernal corpses hid at the bottom of the lake, but they had no way to escape, they just relied on instinct to hide themselves.

Felix said to Sirius and Kreacher, "Now you can find someone, I want to study this stone platform." After a few seconds, he looked at the person and the elf, and asked in surprise, "Do you need me to give You put on a bubble head spell?"

Bubble head spell can create a bubble in the shape of an upside-down fish tank on the head of the caster, allowing wizards to explore underwater or avoid unpleasant smells. It is not an unpopular magic. As far as Felix knew, the Weasley twins were quite skilled at this magic.

"You won't let me look for it together, I don't know Regulus..."

Sirius waved his hand. He put a lot of effort into applying the Bubble Head Charm to himself and Kreacher, and said in a dull voice, "Are you sure these Infernal corpses won't attack suddenly?"

"As long as they're still corpses." Felix scanned the week with a black and white perspective, "I didn't see any hidden magic, don't worry."

Kreacher immediately jumped into the lake, swimming nimbly, Sirius muttered and jumped in too.

Sirius endured the icy cold lake water, and his vision was not affected in any way. He first found an Infernal corpse hiding behind the reef, opened the Inferi's hand covering his face, and tried his best to see what he looked like - until Sirius. Started looking for the next target, also without any attack.

"Perverted magic." Sirius said in the lake, the corpse is sensitive to light, but ordinary light does not have this effect.

The next thing got boring - Sirius spent twenty minutes in the black lake, feeling stiff, his clothes soaked in water, dragging him down, and Kreacher was no better than him How much, or even worse, he had to pull Kreacher up and recover his strength.

The icy lake water ran down Sirius's robe, and he walked up the steps step by step, trembling all over.

Kreacher's teeth were shaking, and he couldn't say anything, but he still wanted to insist: "Kreacher has seen 47, no, 48..."

Sirius said with a dark face: "You want me to take care of you when you are sick? Come and eat something, and he even made a fire. It's really, really..."

Sirius felt a bit outrageous. Around the fire, various foods were scattered around, and he also saw two bottles of butter beer. This was not camping! He doesn't know how he eats it, but he still gets some energy.

"You can use the Heating Charm, it will make you feel better," Felix suggested without looking up.

...

One hundred, two hundred, Sirius had seen the faces of the Infernal Corpses one after another, and two hours had passed.

But the area of ​​the black lake is too large, and because of Felix's magic, all the corpses instinctively search for dark corners, and they are scattered widely, which makes the search even more difficult. All in vain though - the bottom of the lake is no darker than the surface.

During this time, Felix kept observing the stone basin and the green potion in it.

For Voldemort, Horcrux should be his most important thing, and the protection measures around Horcrux should also be the strongest magic he can think of and master.

Felix can get a glimpse of Voldemort's strength.

From a black and white perspective, circles of magic ripples continued to spread around him. Felix scanned the place, imprinting everything around him in his memory. Then he finally moved, and his hand reached into the stone basin. , when you are an inch or two away from the potion, you can no longer dive.

Felix tried different methods without success.

"Unless brute force... but that's not an accurate measure of Voldemort's strength, and he must have thought about it..."

Felix stopped Kreacher, who came up for the third time, "Do me a favor and bring me the ring I put outside, if it's too laborious."

"Yes, Mr. Hepp."

Kreacher disappeared, and after a few seconds, he reappeared with a ring in his hand.

"Is this ring a big burden on you?" Felix asked curiously, worried that Kreacher wouldn't be able to move with him, Sirius, and a dozen Dementors, but maybe it was a wrong idea .

"It's a bit laborious...but not as good as you, Mr. Happer. You are a powerful wizard, more powerful than anyone Kreacher has ever seen."

"Uh, well, thank you, Kreacher."

Felix scratched his head and said, Sirius was so tired before, the problem was himself? However, Sirius spans a long distance, and Kreacher simply hits back and forth. The two cannot be compared.

Kreacher bowed deeply, pressed his nose to the ground, and walked backwards.

Felix took a cup out of the ring and threw it into the stone basin. This time, there was no magic barrier, the cup sank into the liquid, Felix reached out and took out the cup, observed it for a long time, and then poured the cup.

The emerald green potion flowed from the mouth of the cup, forming a curved stream, but then it disappeared suddenly in mid-air, Felix emptied the cup, and there was not a drop of liquid on the ground. He turned his head, and the height of the liquid in the stone basin had recovered unconsciously.

"Interesting...do you have to drink it?"

Felix took out a cup of potion again, and tried to analyze the composition of the potion with the Scarpin Revealing Spell. A blurry image appeared above the potion, which he couldn't see clearly. Felix had to search his memory and search for unfamiliar magic. , some he didn't even use once, just put them in memory after classification.

Fortunately, he learns quickly. With the help of the Thinking Cabin and his understanding of magic at the moment, most of the magic can be used quickly.

"Mixed snake venom... unknown creature venom... Flobber caterpillar mucus... fluid in horned horns... and bad blood weed, which can cause impatience and recklessness, and has a confusing effect... phantom grass, rare usage……"

Felix raised his head and whispered to himself: "The effect of the potion does not seem to cause death, but aggravates pain and powerful hallucinations? This is exactly what happened to Kreacher, no, there is chaos magic. The effect of it makes it difficult to use magic ... so that even powerful wizards will be dragged to the bottom of the lake in desperation."

Another half an hour later, when Sirius came up, he saw Felix pinching a Dementor's neck and feeding it a potion. Sirius' eyes almost popped out, where did this thing come from? ?

Before he could ask, he heard Kreacher's sobbing cry: "Found—Master Regulus—" The house-elf's voice echoed in the cave, over and over.

Sirius rolled over and jumped into the water, following the sound. He suddenly realized that he hadn't put on the Bubble Head Charm, but he didn't have time to think about it. He took a breath and quickly swam to Kreacher's side.

He saw a familiar person, not much different from what he remembered, but his face was a little paler, and the same black curly hair as him was floating in the water.

Sirius murmured, the pungent salty smell mixed with the rotting lake water made him tremble and cough violently.

He swam back to shore with Regulus' body, gasping for breath and making a "ho ho" sound from his mouth, but he was soaked all over, and the lake water ran down his hair and down his eyes, and no one cared. Did he shed tears.

When his mood calmed down, Sirius picked up Regulus and walked to Felix's side. The dementor had disappeared. He glanced at it. The potion in the stone basin was only a shallow layer, which could be faintly seen. to a locket and lay it at the bottom of the stone basin.

But he knew it was fake, and he had no interest at all. Now he just wanted to take Regulus back and put him in a proper place, preferably at a funeral.

"Sirius, Kreacher, wait for me outside first, I need to do one more thing," Felix said.

"what are you going to do?"

"To put it bluntly, I want to do some damage..."

So Kreacher appeared outside the rock wall with the remains of Sirius and Regulus. After a while, the rock wall in front of them began to peel off and become sandy. They stepped back a few steps and watched the rock wall bloom. Layers of light, then quickly dim and decayed, the solid rock turned into fine powder, rustled, and finally formed an open hole.

Felix walked out, and Sirius glanced at the light behind him. The island in the lake had disappeared, and a small boat was swaying against the lake.

"Let's go," Felix said quietly.

"You ruined this place?"

"It's not good to let the next person come in to do useless work."

"Then your glowing magic, that big ball of light..."

"Don't worry about it, it'll be gone in a week or two at most."

Felix pulled Sirius and Kreacher, along with Regulus' body, and disappeared into the cave in an instant.

"Boom!"

A large block of stone fell, completely burying everything inside.
