harry potter book of crimes

The beautiful natural scenery never tires of looking at it.

Obviously, Britain used to have many amazing and beautiful landscapes. But now the fog is so thick that no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it has become a gray mess, which is really annoying.

So every time those survivors who have been trapped for a long time are finally able to escape, each of them can't help but sigh after being freed from the fog.

Yes, even if they were mostly riding rickety ships and sailing on boring seas.

Compared with these survivors, who still focus on escaping, the place Maka chose for Willy and the others was obviously much more "luxurious".

A clear blue sky, rolling mountains, lush green woods, and chirping birds. This kind of mountain scenery with singing birds and fragrant flowers is not something that people who have just left the smoky battlefield can easily enjoy!

"Willy, do you remember? We have been here before."

Maka, who had just appeared on the grass in the valley with Willy and Mr. Blois, gave a slight signal. After hearing this, Willy next to her couldn't help but look carefully around, and then shook her head in confusion.

"Where is this? Have we been here before?"

To put it bluntly, if there were no special marks left, then many deep mountains and old forests would be basically the same. On the contrary, Mr. Blois, who followed him, after taking a look, suddenly said:

"This is the deep mountains of Albania, right? I remember... once during the Hogwarts vacation, you didn't arrive home in time, and I asked the butler to come out to pick you up. At that time, he mentioned that it was nearby here

I found you by a lake."

"Oh," after her father mentioned this, Willy blinked and nodded, "I remember, is this here?"

"Yes," Maka said, pointing forward again, "The lake is right in front... Well, by the way, more than ten miles to the east is the underground palace where Halpo was sealed.

.”

"So?" Mr. Blois asked immediately, "You are going to Herbo's tomb? Is there anything left there?"

"No, no, there is nothing there anymore," Maka shook her head, "What I want to go to is either the underground palace, or the lake in the middle of the forest... let's go!"

He seemed to be a little greedy for the beautiful scenery and refreshing air in the mountains and fields, so he did not walk too fast, but led Willie and his daughter forward leisurely as if they were taking a walk to relax.

As they continued to move forward, each tree was gradually left behind them. None of the three of them spoke anymore, only the sound of trampling on fallen grass branches lingered in the forest.

Not long after, when the last leaf covering their eyes was gently pushed aside, a sparkling wave of light suddenly filled the three people's vision.

The water of this lake is light blue, with a hint of green. Looking at it under the sun, it looks like a huge gem embedded in the mountain.

When she came back here last time, Maka couldn't appreciate the beautiful scenery because she had something on her mind. But today, Maka actually wants to feel this natural treasure.

It's a pity that he still doesn't seem to have this leisurely "blessing".

"I understand, you are going to the bottom of the lake again, aren't you?"

Willie seemed to recall the scene when she came here with Maka, and suddenly looked at the lake and asked.

"Yes!" Maka nodded, "I want to go down to meet someone, and then ask her for details... Of course, I may not really be able to find that person. After all, this is just a guess on my part.

.”

"Who are you looking for?" Mr. Blois couldn't help asking.

Maka paused for a moment, and then said:

"Rowner Ravenclaw, one of the four founders of Hogwarts."

"Is she still alive?"

"...No, she is dead, absolutely dead!"

…

"Hermione, most of the zombies around Weymouth have been cleared away, and there are no more zombies moving here from the east. I think this wave of zombies has passed."

In the command post tent at Weymouth Camp, Harry was talking to Hermione about the situation outside the camp. After he finished speaking, Percy, who was sitting not far away, immediately added:

"We have just contacted Yeovil. They couldn't resist this wave of living corpses, so they all hid. Because they retreated in time, the casualties were not large... In addition, the group of 'Black Flames' you mentioned before,

They also saw it. Those people seem to be heading north, but they don’t know where they will end up.”

Then, after Percy finished speaking, another wizard who was responsible for staying at the dock immediately followed suit:

"The reconnaissance team we sent out earlier also came back, saying that although there are still many living zombies lingering further away, those groups show no signs of moving westward. As Mr. Porter said, the tide of living zombies is over.

Already."

Hearing this, Hermione raised her head slightly, looked at him and said:

"Then...well, where was the last location the investigation team arrived at?"

"Uh, it's Southampton Bay." The other party was startled when he heard this, "They followed the plan strictly... I guess, you're not mistaken, right?"

"Oh, no." Hermione immediately shook her head and said, "I just asked casually, don't pay attention."

When Percy saw it, he couldn't help scratching his head gently, and then secretly signaled to the guard at the pier, telling him that he could go out.

When the other party walked out of the tent, Percy hesitated again, then turned to Hermione and said:

"If those Black Flames were really sent by McClane, then because of the elimination of these people, the journey from Weymouth to Winchester should have become much safer than before. If you

If you still want to go... now is the time."

Hermione's unreasonable question just now might have caused Harry, who was a bit slow, to not react in time, but Percy immediately understood what was worrying her.

However, after a period of silence, Hermione shook her head and rejected Percy's "well-intentioned" reminder.

"No, since I decided not to go a few days ago, there is no reason for me to go again even if the road is much safer now."

After saying that, she suddenly stood up with support on the table, pointed at the map in front of her and said:

"What's more, those Black Flame people are heading north now, resulting in a large number of living corpses decreasing along the way - this is obviously the best time for us to enter Birmingham, isn't it?"

Having said this, she slapped the table and said loudly:

"You guys prepare here. I will go back to Belgium now to hold a meeting for the Resistance Alliance's first official counterattack. When I come back, I will bring a complete set of plans and enough wizards and Muggle coalition forces to launch a campaign in southern England.

Drive a nail into this 'dead land' that can bring her back to life!"
