Hogwarts vampire professor

Chapter 182 Parseltongue comes in handy

When the three of them walked to a dense bush together, the wand that Rolf was holding in his hand, pointing the way for them, suddenly began to shake violently.

"Is your wand malfunctioning, Rolf?" Ginny asked worriedly.

"It's okay, there's no problem with the wand, there's no problem with the locating spell, and the wand's behavior is actually a good thing!" Instead of worrying, Roof laughed happily, "This means we've arrived at the right place!"

He took hold of the wand and lifted the locating spell on it.

"Are you there?" Harry turned his head and turned around a few times. He only saw trees and haystacks that were so dense that it was almost impossible to stand. Countless shadows were reflected under the light of the wand's illuminating spell, which looked a bit eerie for some reason.

There were no traces of any buildings around at all. In comparison, he thought the area was simply a primitive jungle with nothing.

"We have indeed arrived at the right place." Rolf nodded and said, "There is only one possibility for the problem with the positioning spell - it is affected by other magic."

"Our magic is not like the Muggle compass, which is also interfered by things like magnetic fields. That would be too weird... Only things that are also on the magical side can affect this spell!"

"Rolph, what do you mean..." Ginny stood on tiptoes to look at the surrounding environment and asked, "There are other magics nearby that obscure the appearance of the ruins. In fact, these trees are caused by magic. An illusion?"

She touched a tree trunk next to her, "But this is indeed a real tree."

"This tree is real, but it doesn't mean that all the trees in front are real." Luo Fei raised his head and showed a confident smile, "Then watch me operate!"

He picked up his wand again and cast another tracking spell.

But this time, he did not spray the golden powder produced by the tracking spell into a large circular area around him. Instead, he concentrated the golden powder in one direction and blew them far away.

These golden powders flew in the air very skillfully, quietly bypassing the thick tree trunks one after another, and landed on a patch of flat or rough ground.

Luna's golden footprints, wearing only one shoe, appeared in front of them again, but seeing these footprints, both Harry and Ginny had strange expressions.

"Luna's footprints changed the direction of her walking here, and the movement became... well, isn't it a little weird?" Harry asked dryly, looking at the scene in front of him.

Ginny also nodded, agreeing with Harry's judgment, "What is Luna doing here? She can't be dancing in the Forbidden Forest, right?"

They saw that within the scope covered by the golden powder, pairs of footprints were carved erratically between the trees. From time to time, there would be a long gap cut off between the two pairs of footprints, as if they suddenly jumped a few steps forward.

"I don't know what she is doing." Rolf shrugged, "But I only know that we don't have enough ability to remove the protective magic and transformation magic around here, so there is nothing wrong with following Luna's footsteps."

Having said that, he took the lead in stepping on Luna's golden footprints, and followed Luna's direction of travel accurately, jumping at long intervals from time to time.

Harry and Ginny looked at each other helplessly, and had no choice but to follow Rove's actions and step on Luna's footprints.

"You usually have a lot of knowledge, can you recognize what kind of protective magic this is, Rove?" Harry asked Rove curiously as he jumped unsteadily.

His pace was far less agile and skillful than that of Rove, and he was even so slow that Ginny behind him almost bumped into his back.

"It should be a hidden magic circle in the labyrinth." Luo Fu said, "Only by following a specific trajectory can you enter the destination protected by the labyrinth."

"And the magic spell used to deceive our sight should be a variant of the Disguise Curse. After all, no Disguise Curse I know of can last for such a long time, nor can it disguise an area into other scenes without leaving any trace. "

"I'm a little curious, how did Luna know the specific path into the maze?" Ginny once again stopped behind Harry, who was moving stiffly, and asked with her hands on her hips, somewhat bored.

"I want to know this too," Luof's voice came from a distance. He had already followed the footprints for a long distance. "Luna herself is a very magical little witch. I think she is People cannot use common sense to judge..."

Slowly, Luofu's figure became farther and farther away, until he completely disappeared.

Harry, on the other hand, was still stepping on Luna's footprints one after another stiffly, walking forward unsteadily.

If it weren't for the fact that there was only one row of footprints, and if it weren't for the fear of triggering other functions of the maze magic, Ginny would have passed Harry from the side and headed to the ruins where Luna was.

The sky was completely dark, and not a single starlight shone from the tree canopy of the dense jungle. Only a row of golden footprints and the illuminating spells on the front ends of the two wands still lit up with a faint light, adding an insignificant touch to the dark Forbidden Forest. of light.

After an unknown amount of time, Harry and Ginny finally came to the end of Luna's golden footprints.

"Is this the end?" Harry looked at the huge tree trunk in front of him that was impossible for two people to hold together, with a confused look in his eyes, "Why can't I see any ruins at all?"

"And...where is Rolf?"

His voice echoed in the silent Forbidden Forest, but it seemed that there was an eerie atmosphere flowing in the Forbidden Forest.

There seemed to be dark eyes in many of the surrounding haystacks and trees. Monsters might poke their heads out from the dense jungle at any time and drag the two little wizards into the bottomless abyss.

Ginny was still a little girl after all, with a clearly frightened look on her face and trembling all over.

"Don't be afraid, we'll be fine, Ginny." Harry turned around and patted Ginny on the back, saying softly.

In fact, he was also a little scared of this unknown darkness.

But when there are girls around, boys will always develop an inexplicable courage out of thin air. This kind of courage is enough to make a very timid person suddenly become brave enough to move forward.

What's more, Harry has lived in a dark cupboard since he was a child, surrounded by spiders and bugs, and he has a high tolerance for this kind of darkness.

He took a deep breath and raised his wand high——

"lumos maxima!"

Harry shouted.

The lighting spell at the tip of the wand shined brightly, completely illuminating the dark and deep surrounding environment and dispelling some of the fear in the hearts of the two of them.

At this moment, as if he heard Harry reciting a spell, another voice sounded from behind the thick tree trunk.

"Harry, you're finally here!" Harry and Ginny recognized that it was Rolf's voice and breathed a sigh of relief, "Come in and help me, there's a big snake here, and my snake forks can't handle it! "

"But how do we get in?" Harry asked.

He carefully checked the trunk of the big tree in front of him again, and found nothing similar to a tree hole or gap in it, leaving no space for people to cross.

"Just jump over here, hurry up, that snake has found me again!" Luo Fu's voice was a little urgent.

"Jump over? Jump over this tree?" Harry raised his head and looked up, only to see the tall tree crown as far as the eye could see. "Are you serious, Rolf? Or do you think I don't care about Luna's footprints?" , how about just going around from the side?"

"No, you don't think there is a real tree at the exit of the maze, right?" Luo Fu said in a helpless tone, "Didn't we just discuss it? Some trees here are real and some are fake. "

"This is the biggest fake tree. Don't worry about it, just hit it!"

Harry nodded in realization.

But just to be on the safe side, he reached out and touched the edge of the big tree first, touching the rough bark of the big tree.

The rough texture was transmitted to Harry's mind through the skin on his fingers. He also felt many grains on the lumpy bark. The touch was exactly the same as that of real trees, without any difference.

"Rolph, isn't this right?" Harry asked, "I touched it. This tree is indeed a real tree. Isn't it different from the exit of the maze we came here to walk through?"

"They all followed Luna's footprints, how could it be different?" Rolf was about to vomit blood due to Harry's slowness, and said in an irritable tone, "Do you know King's Cross Station? It's the same principle, it must be You need to reach a certain speed and strength to break through the confinement of the station wall and enter platform nine and three-quarters."

"Otherwise there are so many Muggle passengers, and people would lean against the wall at any time, so the probability of being discovered by the wizarding world would be too high... Don't say so much, I'll hide next to you first, and be careful when you come in. point!"

Luofu's voice was getting farther and farther away, and he was probably trying to avoid the snake chasing him.

Then a rustling sound of a snake lin scraping against the ground came from behind the tree trunk. It was probably the big snake chasing after Luo Fu.

Harry's expression tightened when he learned of Rolf's critical condition.

He closed his eyes, recalling each time he hit the wall between platforms 9 and 10 at King's Cross station, and jumped forward suddenly.

The next moment, he felt himself landing on a hard ground.

Harry opened his eyes and saw a complex of extremely spectacular buildings. He couldn't help but open his mouth wide——

It was a huge palace, standing high on seven floors of tall stone steps.

Basically the entire building complex is constructed of marble, without any extra flashy stone, but with red tiles and white walls to create a simple texture that is one with nature.

The paint on the exterior walls of the building is painted layer by layer, over and over again, and the color is deeply deposited on the wall. After a long time, it is still extremely white and has profound meaning.

The dome-style roof of the palace is supported by several thick round stone pillars. The stone pillars are all wrapped with reliefs of snakes. From the foot of the pillar to the bottom of the dome, the triangular snake head is poked out. The snake boy looks like a snake. As cold and sinister a look as one can have.

There are many buildings behind the palace, most of which are in the form of courtyards. These were places where the former owners of the palace raised various magical creatures and conducted black magic experiments.

Every courtyard is indispensably decorated with snakes.

However, although it is shocking to the eyes, the long time has still had a considerable impact on this magically protected building community.

No matter how new and splendid this building was in the past, it has become somewhat damaged and decayed now.

Looking at the courtyard, the courtyard is dilapidated, the walls have collapsed, wild vines are entangled along the broken door leaves and stone pillars, the ground is overgrown with weeds, and rubble is strewn all over.

At this time, Ginny also jumped over from the tree trunks behind, stood on the ground that was more solid than the land in the Forbidden Forest, and looked at the building with wide eyes.

Harry turned around and saw that there was indeed a huge tree here, standing tall on the solid ground. However, the tree was also made of marble, and the overall appearance was gray-white, completely realistic with the Forbidden Forest. Giant trees are not the same.

Behind the trees is a vast forest, but it looks a bit unclear, as if a piece of frosted glass is blocking the line between the buildings and the forest, forming a clear line.

"Wow, it's unbelievable... There is such a ruin in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts!" Ginny sighed.

Harry nodded with emotion, still not fully recovered from the shock of entering this place.

"You two, stop just sighing, come here and help me!"

At this moment, Luofu's obviously angry voice came over.

Harry and Ginny turned their heads and saw Rolf holding the long snake fork in his hand, running around the dilapidated courtyards, with a giant python almost ten feet long snaking behind him. , grinning and drooling, as if wanting to swallow it in one gulp.

This giant python is not the usual green color, but a very ordinary gray-white color, just like a stone.

From time to time, Luofu turned around and poked the snake's seven inches with the snake fork pliers in his hand.

However, because the snake's body was too thick and its skin was too tough, his attack had no effect at all, and even slowed down his escape.

"Come on, Harry, it's up to you!" Rolf shouted.

Harry took a deep breath, nodded slightly to Ginny, and stepped forward.

"Let's talk first, Luo Fu, I'm not sure whether I can control it." He walked to a courtyard in front of Luo Fu's route, and before the snake came over, he took the lead to explain, "Except for the Duel Club, Unintentionally, this is the first time today that I use She Laoqiang to fight."

"It's okay, first... let's try first." Rolf panted and ran to Harry's side, saying out of breath, "First try to see if you can get rid of this snake, otherwise we will have to Find another way.”

Harry nodded and looked at the gray-white python.

"Stop," he shouted, staring into the python's eyes.

However, the giant python ignored him and crawled towards the courtyard where the two of them were, with a fierce look in its eyes.

"I really can't seem to control it." Harry looked at Rolf apologetically and said.

"Nonsense, of course you can't control it!" Luofu shouted, jumping on his feet, "What you just said is clearly in English. It's surprising that this python can understand it!"

"Um..." Harry scratched his head in embarrassment, and then looked into the python's eyes again, "It's my fault, wait for me..."

"Stop!" came out this time in a version that no one could understand.

He turned to look at Rolf.

"It's indeed a language I don't understand anymore." Luo Fu looked at this scene and nodded gently.

Looking at the giant gray-white python, it really stopped in place, its huge mouth opened wide, almost in front of Harry's face.

The whole snake was motionless and even stopped breathing, as if it were a big stone that had not changed in thousands of years.

"Why isn't this snake moving?" Harry asked in a low voice as he moved closer to Rove.

"Do you still need to ask this question...didn't you just tell it to 'stop'?" Luo Fe rolled his eyes helplessly.

It was true that he didn't understand Snake Talk, but Rolf did hear Harry's "stop" in the previous sentence, so he also knew the meaning of the latter sentence.

"Snake Laoqiang can be regarded as a kind of magic specifically for snakes, which can make almost all snakes obey your words." Luo Fu explained, and then said with some excitement, "Since it is confirmed that you can really use Snake Laoqiang, If you don't like it, then the next step will be easy!"

He pulled Harry to the seven tall stone steps of the largest palace.

"Don't go up all seven stone steps at once. Be prepared and come one by one." Luo Fu warned, "I tried it this morning. Every time you go up a step, a larger group of snakes will come to attack you. I don’t want to see you being bitten to death by a random snake before you can use the snake accent.”

Harry nodded with a cautious expression, and under the gazes of Rolf and Ginny, he stepped onto the first stone step.

"Rumble--"

As Harry stepped onto the first stone step, a heavy grinding sound suddenly sounded.

On the ornate railings around the stone steps, a large stone snake is wrapped around each guardrail pole.

Now, these stone snakes were twisting and crawling down from the guardrail, winding towards Harry's position.

With this first experience, Harry moved very quickly this time. As soon as he stepped onto the first stone step, he was already ready to speak in Snake's accent——

"Go back to where you belong!" he said in a snake accent.

After hearing the command, each of the stone snakes that were originally menacing and covering the ground immediately turned around and returned to their respective guardrail poles as if they had heard the command of their master.

Harry looked back at Rolf and Ginny and gave a thumbs up.

"That's cool, Harry!" Rove waved his fist excitedly.
